    Health/Fitness Goal (and why, if you want to share): Exercise 3-5x a week in the hopes of preparing for a med/intervention-free delivery and easy recovery.

    Week's Successes: One yoga session! Go me!

    Week's Challenges: Just the same old struggle with fatigue and not having the motivation to do anything on my days off. Today is my last day of work for the foreseeable future so hopefully I can stop finding reasons to just lay around!

    GTKY: I am a huge crime junkie! I listen to all the true crime podcasts. I have so many “favorite murders” (SSDGM, anyone?), but I think my favorite is Elisa Lam. So creepy. I’m pretty sure she had mental health struggles but watching the security footage of her in the elevators makes it look almost like there is a paranormal element there. She was found in a water tank that she couldn’t have gotten into by herself, but her death was ruled as “accidental”… Would love to have that one solved in my lifetime.

    Health/Fitness Goal (and why, if you want to share): maintain strength and endurance for a healthy, comfortable pregnancy and good recovery. 

    Week's Successes: 3 workouts and a good walk with DH on a 4th day

    Week's Challenges: took on too much one day and have had headaches since then - but weirdly enough I think that motivated me because all my workouts have been after that point 😆 

    GTKY: It’s almost Halloween! What unsolved murder/mystery intrigues you the most? I’m not really up on the unsolved mystery trend. But the current Alec Baldwin case has caught my attention just because I used to work in theatre - different than movies - but still, it just should not have happened…

    @bluecampanula YES! My spooky brain is immediately like “foul play” lol I don’t know much about theater or movies but… it’s a fake gun? I feel like it shouldn’t hurt people. I get that it fires something to be realistic but I also read something that said the effects can easily be added in post-production so there’s no need to put anything in the guns at all.

    @aloha_mama It sounds like a lot of people all did at least one thing wrong all at the same time. As well as maybe before this. Such a mess.

    Health/Fitness Goal (and why, if you want to share):  Just to stay active to keep excess weight gain at bay- and for increased mobility as I get bigger.

    Week's Successes:  I did my half marathon last Sunday!!  It was so great, I felt so proud afterwards.  I definitely didn't run the whole thing, but kept my pace up as fast as I could even when my legs were giving out.  OH and I had to pee at EVERY porta potty until about mile 6.  It's really hard to run when you have to pee.  But I did it, I had 2 of my best friends from my first BMB there which was so awesome to see them (they ran it too).  I am just so glad I did that.

    Week's Challenges: Soreness!  It's gone now, but I was pretty sore and slow for a few days.  Now my goal will be to just do 3+ workouts a week even if it's just a walk on the treadmill.

    GTKY: It’s almost Halloween! What unsolved murder/mystery intrigues you the most?  Oh man I am a huge true crime fan and I honestly don't know if I have a #1.  That case of the girl in the water tank is always one I wonder about like @aloha_mama said.  I am a member of the Going West Patreon as of the other day so I listen to those podcasts all the time.  I used to listen to Crime Junkie a lot, but they get annoying to me sometimes.

    Health/Fitness Goal (and why, if you want to share): Eat healthy and keep up with my weekly yoga practice to prepare my body as much as possible for a natural labor and birth!

    Week's Successes: I only did 3 of my usual 4 yoga practices this week, but I’ve been walking several laps around the hospital building during my lunch break every day! We also spent most of the morning doing a wet walk hike at a nearby hiking trail! This time of year most of our hiking trails are submerged in rainwater. It was a beautiful morning— we got out just before the sunrise and saw a ton of deer, hawks, egrets, frogs, crayfish, etc. But thankfully no gators or snakes! It sprinkled a little midway through but between that and the cold rainwater up to our knees, it felt sooo refreshing! My legs are already so sore from trudging through all that rainwater! 😅

    Week's Challenges: Again with the food. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Overall I think I’m still doing eating pretty nutritious but today for lunch I splurged and had Mexican street tacos and dulce de leche ice cream. 🤤 Mama’s gotta have a treat at some point though, right?? Hopefully my morning kale and açaí smoothie made up for my midday treat!

    GTKY: It’s almost Halloween! What unsolved murder/mystery intrigues you the most? Oh gosh I’ve never been a murder mystery follower or ever been one to watch crime shows or scary movies! The extend of my murder intrigue is playing Clue at game night and the extent of my mystery TV is watching Scooby Doo (yes, I’m a full grown woman who watches cartoons and Disney movies regularly without children!) 😆 I find it funny that my brother watches dateline religiously every night though!

    @shlecks The format of Crime Junkie is irritating, I like it better when it’s two or more people having a conversation rather than one girl just talking at another girl that pretends to be incredulous every five minutes. They do have good stories, though! I just finished Bear Brook about the Allenstown Five, which was fascinating, and Murder Squad is another good one.

    @aloha_mama RIGHT!  The one girl is LITERALLY pointless and is only there because they're like best friends.  I agree, though, I do like their stories.  And thanks for the tips I'll look up those other ones!
