I had a goal of paying it off before our baby was born in September, so its an awesome feeling. We still have the bigger one to chip away at, but considering we've paid off 54% of my law school loans in 3 years and 2 months since graduating, I feel really good about our progress. Things will slow down a little while I'm on unpaid maternity leave, but we're getting there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/brag-on-yourself/page/2#post-1765438 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 16:24:06 +0000 Boheme 1765438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiz: Love it!

The second picture is the outside of the garden and watermelon </p> [attach=2456/14/n8vjdz.450x600.image.jpg] [attach=2456/14/n8vje2.450x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/brag-on-yourself#post-1765026 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 13:27:55 +0000 youboots 1765026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@smurfette but they don't seem to correlate in size of fruit with the amount of posts. Perhaps I'm thinking too hard about it. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/brag-on-yourself#post-1765024 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 13:27:53 +0000 anonysquire 1765024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine is super dumb but it's so big for me. I had 4 visitors over this week. 1 for a birthday visit, 2 ladies from my church and my brother and his wife. With my dumb anxiety I hate visitors, especially surprise visits. And not because I'm messy haha. I just don't like visitors. But I survived! And it turned out great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/brag-on-yourself#post-1764993 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 13:20:02 +0000 MrsKoala 1764993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. 64: Way to go!! Definitely a good problem to have! </p> <p>@mrsjazz: Congratulations on the publication!! That is wonderful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/brag-on-yourself#post-1764948 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 13:09:01 +0000 Smurfette 1764948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: Congrats! My Mom has her first book coming out next month. Then another later this year.<br /> @Amurray: It is your Bee level, based on how many posts you have. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/brag-on-yourself#post-1764933 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 13:02:54 +0000 youboots 1764933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz, yay, please share when it's published. </p> <p>Quick question for y'all, what does the fruit next to users names mean? Mine changed since I joined. Thanks for answering this newbie question.</p> <p>1. I have designed and been overseeing our bathroom remodels, taking on 2/3 bathrooms at the same time in a 1910 home has been exciting and a challenge. I have surprised myself with how relaxed I am and how well everything is coming together.</p> <p>2. I have forgiven myself for being so tired. I'm in my sixth week with my first and usually thrive on being busy. I write this from my couch with my on demand playing.</p> <p>3. My relationship with my Mother in Law continues to grow all the time. I found that we get along so well when we are out trying new things and get outside of our regular routines. I have always loved her, but now she feels like a friend and truly one of the most important people in my life. I just can't get enough of her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/brag-on-yourself#post-1764917 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 12:58:48 +0000 mrs. 64 1764917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ran out of room in our freezer for breastmilk so we bought a 5 ft tall freezer for the garage. Now that is full of milk too! Don't know what I'm going to do now, but I guess it's a good problem to have. I've put a lot of hours into that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/brag-on-yourself#post-1764883 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 12:44:40 +0000 avivoca 1764883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: Congratulations! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/brag-on-yourself#post-1764860 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 12:34:31 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1764860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1. I run and/or workout at least 5 days a week. Even when I'm not in the mood and I'm always happy about it. </p> <p>2. I have really made an effort to deepen my relationship with God &amp; it is having a positive affect on every aspect of my life. </p> <p>3. This one is a little preemptive but I'm starting the Whole30 Sunday and I'm stoked!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/brag-on-yourself#post-1764854 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 12:32:05 +0000 PurplePumps 1764854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mines all fitness related since that's the only thing I feel like I have control of...</p> <p>1. I've been really good about watching what I eat and snacking<br /> 2. I've lost 7 lbs so far since I started working out in May. I dont think it sounds like a lot in 3 months, but...<br /> 3. This is the longest I've ever stuck to working out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/brag-on-yourself#post-1764838 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 12:28:29 +0000 sunshineandsushi 1764838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1. I have effectively broken my habit of drinking diet soda for about a month (with a couple of cheats allowed, but that's it!).</p> <p>2. I quit Facebook for at least the next three months in an effort to step away from the all-pervasive social media that consumes our lives.</p> <p>3. I am on week two of the Couch to 5K challenge and working out after a two-month break from the gym. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/brag-on-yourself#post-1764798 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 12:17:35 +0000 LulaBee 1764798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1. I've been running consistently for the past year.</p> <p>2. I have had 120 oz. of water every day this week.</p> <p>3. I have tried to be more patient with DD lately because she is only 2 and cannot react to life like an adult can. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/brag-on-yourself#post-1764762 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 12:05:38 +0000 winniebee 1764762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1. I have been very active and exercised regularly this pregnancy</p> <p>2. I've been very patient with DS and am trying to better understand things on his level. </p> <p>3. I am singlehandedly packing up our house for our second cross country move in a year while 17.5 weeks pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/brag-on-yourself#post-1764756 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 12:03:43 +0000 winniebee 1764756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: congrats!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/brag-on-yourself#post-1764749 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 12:01:24 +0000 fussygal 1764749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: congrats!!!</p> <p>@LuLu Mom: way to go with the debts! I need to learn how to do your #2 better, too!</p> <p>1) We haven't eaten out in over a week. A BIG deal around here as we love to eat out. Granted it's due to MSPI, but still! :P</p> <p>2) I've been trying not to nag on DH as much and seem to be doing better. I have a bad habit of giving him a list of things to do as soon as he walks in the door :bummed: </p> <p>3) I've been cutting up and preparing fruit and veggies ahead of time so they're easier to reach for. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/brag-on-yourself#post-1764748 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 12:01:06 +0000 .twist. 1764748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow! You have all made some serious accomplishments! </p> <p>1. I have been working out on a regular basis. </p> <p>2. I have been trying REALLY hard to find some sort of office style that is ME but professional. I've been back at work 2 days and have had a number of comments on my cute outfits. :) </p> <p>3. I have been trying, and doing well, at keeping hydrated every day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/brag-on-yourself#post-1764711 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 11:47:23 +0000 Mrsjets 1764711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's so nice to read positive thoughts! I'm always so full of negatives about myself - always thinking of what I could do better.</p> <p>1. I've been patient with DS (26 months) and have been consistent with doing times out in a calm way. </p> <p>2. I have done really well at not spending unnecessary money while on this mat leave.</p> <p>3. Although I'm no where near pre pregnancy weight, I'm staying active/hydrated and trying to eat 6 servings of fruit/veg a day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/brag-on-yourself#post-1764624 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 11:21:37 +0000 kentuckygirl 1764624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: Wow!!! Congratulations!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/brag-on-yourself#post-1764606 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 11:16:50 +0000 mrsjazz 1764606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Leialou: @sandy: Thanks, ladies! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/brag-on-yourself#post-1764567 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 11:02:14 +0000 nana87 1764567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1. I was asked by a pretty well known academic in my field to join a conference panel. Which means she remembers me and liked my work from when I met her over a year ago-- super flattering!! But that means I need to start working on my dissertation again, whoops...</p> <p>2. Lo has been gaining weight like a champ! Such a difference from 6 weeks ago when we found out she wasn't and that I needed to boost my supply and supplement. </p> <p>3. I've made it to Zumba class twice in the last week, which has been the first time I've worked out since lo was born! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/brag-on-yourself#post-1764557 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 10:58:47 +0000 LuLu Mom 1764557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1. I've paid off 2 lingering debts this week, YAY for moving forward toward a debt free life. </p> <p>2. I asked for help from DH, seems minor but sometimes I can't do it all and try and then get frustrated or overwhelmed. </p> <p>3. I haven't tested early this week, AF is due today, if she doesn't make an appearance I will test tomorrow. I'm usually a serial tester, spending way too much $$$ on HPT. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/brag-on-yourself#post-1764556 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 10:58:38 +0000 sandy 1764556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: woot woot!!!

We're closing next month. </p> <p>- I stayed active during my vacation so I didn't lose any progress at the gym.</p> <p>- After my FET and MC I'm feeling ok again and am ready to move forward. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/brag-on-yourself#post-1764543 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 10:55:32 +0000 yerpie110 1764543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1. I got licensed before having LO. I am seriously proud of this as I see fellow co-workers struggling to study for the licensing exam with balancing their time, or missing time, with their children (and obviously I am not going to say this to them). It is the BEST thing I could have ever done to prepare myself for parenthood!</p> <p>2. I am loving my work/personal life balance.</p> <p>3. DH and I have committed to eating and cooking healthier (thanks fresh 20!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/brag-on-yourself#post-1764538 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 10:53:03 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1764538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: congratulations!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/brag-on-yourself#post-1764526 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 10:49:53 +0000 mrsjazz 1764526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1) After 5 years of submissions, a small book of my poetry was accepted for publication. An ISBN number and a book contract, oh my!</p> <p>2) I'm on day 11 of the 21-day sugar detox and I haven't cheated at all. I feel great--barely had any cramps when my period started yesterday, that took me by surprise.</p> <p>3) I have been networking more to get a jump start on my freelance career. </p>
