I did great all day yesterday until the hubby woke up and smashed my happy bubble to smithereens. Why is it he is capable (and seemingly willing) to make me feel like shit at the drop of a hat AND NEVER FEEL SORRY FOR IT!!
I know... I'm complaining. He's a great guy. Most of the time. Yesterday, not so great. He really turned my day into lemons. And because I was feeling like shipola. We went out to eat instead of coming home and cooking the chicken I was marinating. I stuffed myself so silly that later I couldn't go for my walk because movement made me want to throw up. I even blurrped just from getting up off the couch once. EEEWWW!!!
So yeah, yesterday was a day full of happiness with an evening full of lemons and emotional eating at dinner. Today... I WILL BE SURE TODAY IS A BETTER DAY!!!
Always,
Jules

I wanna WIN!!
Ok. So just recently I've started commenting and blogging and HOPING I can be a winner in other bloggers giveaways. I never enter because I feel like since I don't do giveaways (mainly because I haven't even thought about what, how, $, etc...), it's not fair for me to enter. But lately, I'm changing my tune. SOPE!!
Go check out Jen @ priorfatgirl. She is doing a giveaway of the following cookbook.
I've seen it on a couple of different blogs. It looks amazing. And since well, really, I've only EVER bought 2 (a vegetarian cookbook and hungry girl) cookbooks in my life and all my other cookbooks are hand me downs from family. I SO WANT THIS COOKBOOK!! So please go check out her giveaway... but feel free to not enter so my chances are better. hahahhaha! Just kidding. Please enter and you should check out her older posts too... She's a HUGE inspiration!!!

AWesome monday
It's funny how I feel like my outlook on life (since getting the news) has felt bubblier, more sunshiney. More like the real me. I'm tired, but I feel amazing. Like I can't wait to start the day. Normally, I grumble thru my morning until the kiddo gets up. And I feel tired enough to do so. But I'm not. :) I'm wide eyed and trying to be busy tailed. :) It's just a weird thought that hit me today.
Yesterday I ate awesomely!! I don't care if it's not a word. I did.
I've been tracking my calories (after I eat until after my PCP apt tomorrow) on facebook thru the mydiet app. I'm really happy with the app. It's just so much easier to use, well since I'm on facebook every chance I get anyhow. :) Yesterday I totalled at 1564 calories for the day. I felt like I was eating all day too. And that's all i was able to squeeze in. All healthy food too... ok except for that slice of pizza for a snack. But hey! At least I did well the rest of the day. I even made turkey meatballs for dinner. I'm REALLY loving ground turkey. I don't feel sick from the grease like I do after beef.
I did go walking for 30 minutes yesterday. Had some concerns with my heart rate. Takes nothing to get it up there does it? I was in the higher 170 range for most of the walk. I used to only get that high if I was running every 2 minutes. So holy crap! That's definitely something to talk to the PCP and OB about. I may get a heart rate (BP & rate) monitor I can wear on my wrist to be sure I'm in healthy zones at all times. Hopefully I can figure this out. I was good and done when I got home. 1 month of little exercise certainly took my stamina down. I even feel some twinges of soreness in my legs today.
Needless to say I WILL be walking tonight. No matter what. :) I love having my motivation back. I went walking yesterday even though I was so dog tired all I wanted to do was stay home. I even cooked dinner earlier so that was NOT an excuse to walk as it so many times is. YEAH ME!! I go see the PCP tomorrow afternoon. So things will either change or stay the same. :)
Here's to a great day and i hope you all have an amazing day too. :)
Always,
Jules

She is a riot!
Friday night i told my daughter (2 1/2) about the baby... things have been a riot whenever it comes up with us:
Me: Nevaeh, guess what... *took her hand and put it on my belly*
You're going to have a sister or brother. There's a baby in my tummy.
Her: NNNOOOO!!! *all the while she is giggling*
*As she fell back onto the bed* That's silly.
She's just too cute.
I tried again yesterday to talk to her about it. She paid attention that time, but she was intent on lifting my shirt and trying to "see" the baby... via my belly button.
Now every time it comes up... she wants to see and will even poke into my belly button to touch it. hahahahaha!! It makes me laugh so much I can't seem to convincingly tell her it's not going to work. hahahahaha!!!!!
Always,
Jules
