My medication mishap wasn't all that bad. I did get a period which I expected. But I started up on the meds as soon as I got back Sunday night. I think this may have set me back a bit but it didn't completely derail the past month and a half of work. My boobs still feel fuller and the world didn't end.
We bought our baby furniture on Black Friday. I waited patiently for a good deal and it paid off with a 15% off sale. We saved $238. Now I'm just waiting for the delivery guy to call to set up a delivery date. I'm hoping it's by the end of the week. I also sold my first baby book to a fellow blogger so I ordered my hedgehog-themed one.
I think I'm going to have to start the Couch 2 5K next week. I don't have enough time this week to make it to the gym 3 times. But despite not counting my points and going WAY off my diet last week, I'm down 1 lb. Baby steps. Oh, and has anyone tried SparkPeople? My mom mentioned it and said it's like Weight Watchers Online only you count calories and not points and it's free. I already signed up for 3 months of WW so I'm not going to sign up for SparkPeople till that's over but I did want to see if anyone's tried it out.
Absolutely no news on the adoption front. When we first went active I thought we'd be matched very quickly. Now I don't think we will. I have a feeling we'll have a spring baby. Not being pessimistic, just sharing the feeling I have.
Tonight we're re-recording our interviews for the video portion of our adoption profile. This time I wrote notes so I'm better prepared and more comfortable in front of the camera. I did freak out a bit when I saw the video that we took over the weekend with my nephew. I didn't realize I looked so fat and sooooo pregnant. All the weight I gained in the past few months centered in my belly and it looks terrible. Perhaps I should have waited a few months to do the video profile. Oh well, too late now!
Welcome back!! :) I will have to find a link to the C25K mp3 download for you if you would like it. It tells you when to walk and when to run. Also I used sparkpeople and myfitnesspal.com - I liked them both for different reason. Good luck with everything!!
ReplyDeleteOh, Ashley, I LOVE myfitnesspal app for iPhone....super user-friendly. Welcome back, Christa! And thanks for the baby book..looking forward to receiving it. And what a DEAL on that baby furniture! It's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI use myfitnesspal.com which is also free but it is so easy and I have lost almost 10lbs so far, 1lb a week! Well done on your furniture savings. We really need to start thinking about a nursery, it just feels hard to believe it could actually be for a baby someday!
ReplyDeleteDon't despair, spring really isn't that far away, and your baby will know just how wanted they are and feel so at home in the space you prepared for them.
Good luck with your video - we still have to do that. I hate hearing myself on video!
Things seem sloooowww with the agency right now. But, apparently October through February are the months with the least babies born in the US, so maybe it makes sense.
ReplyDeleteI hear you on the weight loss. I've lost 12 pounds on Weight Watchers. Once you do it for awhile, you will get the hang of it and you probably won't need it anymore as you'll know the points you need. The thing is calorie counting doesn't take into account protein and fat the way points plus does with weight watchers. I tried that first and did not have as much success as I did with WW. Good luck with the video!
I can't wait to see the furniture in the nursery!!! I am keeping my fingers crossed for easy weight loss and quick placement :)
ReplyDeleteGlad that you were able to get back on track with the meds, and it didn't mess up to bad! I also hate traveling during the holidays because of all the crazy people. Yea for getting home safe!
ReplyDeleteI'm another vote for myfitnesspal. 18 pounds so far.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see pictures of everything! <3 Please check out my blog, I gave you an award!
