Thursday P.M.S check in!

pettycrocker · May 2014

Physical, Mental, Spiritual check in! This will be taking the place of Thurs. book day, since we read like a bunch of old sloths.

Physical- Have you made any changes to your diet or exercise routine lately? If not, what is your current exercise routine, and are you on a special diet to promote fertility or overall wellness?

Mental- Are you reading anything currently? Playing chess? Arguing with your SO? Need to vent about something in particular?

Spiritual- This pertains to anything you are doing to improve your overall mood- Could be prayer, meditation, etc.

Hopefully we can share some new ideas with each other!

Yay for PMS!!!

P: I'm not good at staying active. I go for walks and like to take DS to walk around the mall to be active. But I am trying to eat high protein. I've been slacking, but next week I'll have better news to report! I'll be better!

M: I read the first chapter of the Book Thief two weeks ago and haven't gotten back to it.

S: Other than just praying a lot, about everything, not just ttc, I don't have much to share.

I love this post! Except it has just made me realize how much I'm slacking across the board here. Sheesh, I need to be more aggressive about my PMS!

P - I worked out today :P

M- I'm rereading a great book called "A Return To Love" which is a combo of M and S, it's chicken soup for my brain and soul.

S- Journaling, every day I write down my happiest moment, and I've been doing lots of praying too.

This is a great idea. "old sloths" Lol

) Thanks that made me giggle. Really needed that today.

Physical- Ummm, pretty much nothing beyond what is required of me to keep a 2 year old happy, fed, clothed, and entertained. I did at least look into a body positive dance troupe I've been lusting after for years. I used to be a very good dancer and would love to get back into it. I think if I can get out of this funk even a little I might go for it.

Mental- Just started reading "The Kitchen God's Wife" by Amy Tan, and also "Someday, Someday, Maybe" By Lauren Graham. I am reading it b/c I love Lauren but I am withholding judgment about the book until the end. So far, I'm not wow'ed.
I'm sure you all already saw my vent about the 5 pregnancy announcements this month so there's that. 4 accidents and my apparently super fertile SIL going for "3 in 3"

Spiritual- I've been battling depression pretty hard and it is certainly battling me. I feel like lately it has been getting the better of me so I finally decided it's time to start taking antidepressants. It's a decision i've been wrestling with for years.

Physical- gym three times a week. About 30 minutes weights and min 30 minutes cardio. Off days walks and stretch bands and everyday the @Bananappeal145‌ toddler routine

Diet- been working on fertility diet and getting 90g of protien a day and cutting our all refined carbs and sugars. I had 6 mini marshmallows... That was the worst thing all day! Eggs, quinoa, lentils, brown rice... Today is day 6 on this diet and I have 90% stick to it. Other 10%?

Mental- yep, I'm mental. Mentally I needed to eat some of the homemade sugar cookies this week and have a white chocolate mocha on Tuesday (other 10% I mentioned above) lost 4lbs in last week and a half- so mentally that is a plus. Really need to bitch about a Sport & Health employee, but do not have the energy at the moment.

Spiritual- Potatoes.
My mood sucks... Until- suddenly- potatoes.

P: I play soccer once a week, and try to convince myself to run and lift at other times but I've not been persuasive enough.

M: I read the hunger games not too long ago. I have been trying to take 10-15 minutes absolutely for myself as often as I can. No phone, no nothing. It's easiest to do when the weather is nice. And I sometimes can pair a nice walk or run with this so that's a bonus.

S: DS's IEP for next year has been a nightmare and it has totally consumed me. It's such a huge mess with the school district that I am going to have to play major hardball to get DS what he needs. The district doesn't seem
to realize I know wtf I am talking about. I'm sure I'll bore everyone with details soonish, but it's exhausting just thinking about it. UGH.

I started playing soccer again last yer after a 10-year "break" and I can tell you that getting back into an old hobby feels AMAZING. I wish I had never stopped playing but that's one hour out of every week that I truly look forward to! I would highly recommend getting back into dancing!!!

Physical- I have rededicated myself to getting to the gym at least 3 times per week - and I also have the demanding two year old routine.

Mental- I have been reading the Game of Thrones books since October...and I'm getting close to the end of the fifth book...but once I'm done I will join all those frustrated by George R.R. Martin's long years between books. His books are not my typical genre, but I have really enjoyed them.

Spiritual- I am working hard to enjoy each and every moment with my family instead of being consumed by the TTC battle. It's a lot easier with the warmer weather to get out, get some sun and have fun.
