I don't think we've had one of these in a while, so let's hear 3 (or more!) things that you're proud of yourself for doing lately.
-
Me-
1. I've stuck with eating better and doing light exercises for almost 2 weeks straight now (sad, but a big deal for this binge-eating-couch-potato!) and am officially at my wedding weight!2. I've made a real, noticeable, effort to be nicer and more patient with everyone from my DH to my most annoying work vendors.
3. I have kept up with the garden and am picking/cleaning/freezing everything this year ON TIME. Last year we wasted so many veggies..this year I've got 6 gallons of peppers cleaned, cut and frozen already!
-
1) I ate everything I packed for lunch this week instead of going out for lunch every day. Today is my out day and I'm having chinese.
2) I've remembered to water all the plants, put out my milk coolers, and get the recycling out.
3) I went to bed early all week.
-
1. i joined the gym at work, after a year of thinking about it
2. i showered yesterday
3. i may shower today -
@MrsTiz: Great job!
I can't think of anything right now!
-
@avivoca: Good job on sticking to bringing your lunch! I'm sure your wallet is proud of you too
@edelweiss: Woohooo for a clean booty!
@autumnlove: You better think of something!
-
1. I've stayed patient with this pregnancy despite being 11 days overdue and haven't let myself get too down - still going out, still staying busy, etc. I didn't think I had it in me, honestly!
2. I've done a better job at keeping our food budget within range so far for the month of July. June was horrendous so this is huge!
3. I've never gotten behind on laundry this month!
-
1. I've kept on top of the dishes & laundry. So nice to not have dishes and clothes piled up!
2. I've cut back on my ice cream intake
3. I'm 17 days away from my goal of EBF for a year!!
-
1. I've eaten healthy meals every day this week, and we haven't eaten out for any meal (my weakness!)
2. I've worked out almost every day.
3. I've stayed on top of all our outdoor stuff - the garden, chickens, and flowers are all doing well this year. -
@MrsTiz: 6 gallons? That's awesome! I'd love to see an updated pic of your garden. I want to expand next year!
-
1. I'm 9 lbs under pre-pregnancy weight! I haven't been this small since college
2. I've managed to survive solo-parenting for the better part of the past 2 weeks.
3. The house is relatively clean even with #2 /\ (this may be because DH isn't here to make a mess
)@MrsTiz:
-
1. I have been regularly watching 3 extra kids (bringing my total to 5) for the majority of the day by myself and I haven't killed anyone yet!
2. I have been doing pretty great at keeping my weight under control this pregnancy.
3. I didn't devour the entire bag of jolly rancher bites in one day this time! Lol -
@MrsTiz: *Former* binge-eating-couch-potato . . . !
@autumnlove: Your overall awesomeness cannot be celebrated enough.
@avivoca: enjoy your Chinese - what a well-deserved treat!
@lawbee11: I have also kept on top of my laundry . . . it's all on top of the dryer currently . . ! So, not as awesome as you!
And gg on meeting your BF goal! Such a huge accomplishment! @grizz: Love how you just throw *chickens* in your list like it's, yanno, just another regular activity.
@coopsmama: you are such a rockstar! overdue and still sane with a sense of humor . . . ah-may-zing!
@lilteacherbee: solo parenting is not for the faint-hearted!
-
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!
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.
3) I have been networking more to get a jump start on my freelance career.
-
@mrsjazz: congratulations!!
-
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!
2. I am loving my work/personal life balance.
3. DH and I have committed to eating and cooking healthier (thanks fresh 20!).
-
- I got my first client an executed contract! We're closing next month.
- I stayed active during my vacation so I didn't lose any progress at the gym.
- After my FET and MC I'm feeling ok again and am ready to move forward.
-
@coopsmama: you are doing so awesome with keeping a attitude! And looking gorgeous! I was 2 days overdue and a wreck so good job!
-
@mrsjazz: woot woot!!! That is freaking amazing! Congrats on such a big accomplishment!
-
1. I've paid off 2 lingering debts this week, YAY for moving forward toward a debt free life.
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.
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.
-
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...
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.
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!
-
@Leialou: @sandy: Thanks, ladies!
-
@mrsjazz: Wow!!! Congratulations!!!
-
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.
1. I've been patient with DS (26 months) and have been consistent with doing times out in a calm way.
2. I have done really well at not spending unnecessary money while on this mat leave.
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.
-
Wow! You have all made some serious accomplishments!
1. I have been working out on a regular basis.
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.
3. I have been trying, and doing well, at keeping hydrated every day!
-
@mrsjazz: congrats!!!
@LuLu Mom: way to go with the debts! I need to learn how to do your #2 better, too!
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!
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
3) I've been cutting up and preparing fruit and veggies ahead of time so they're easier to reach for.
-
@mrsjazz: congrats!!
-
1. I have been very active and exercised regularly this pregnancy
2. I've been very patient with DS and am trying to better understand things on his level.
3. I am singlehandedly packing up our house for our second cross country move in a year while 17.5 weeks pregnant.
-
1. I've been running consistently for the past year.
2. I have had 120 oz. of water every day this week.
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.
-
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!).
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.
3. I am on week two of the Couch to 5K challenge and working out after a two-month break from the gym.
-
Mines all fitness related since that's the only thing I feel like I have control of...
1. I've been really good about watching what I eat and snacking
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...
3. This is the longest I've ever stuck to working out. -
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.
2. I have really made an effort to deepen my relationship with God & it is having a positive affect on every aspect of my life.
3. This one is a little preemptive but I'm starting the Whole30 Sunday and I'm stoked!!!
-
@mrsjazz: Congratulations!
-
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!
-
@mrsjazz, yay, please share when it's published.
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.
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.
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.
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.
-
@mrsjazz: Congrats! My Mom has her first book coming out next month. Then another later this year.
@Amurray: It is your Bee level, based on how many posts you have. -
@mrs. 64: Way to go!! Definitely a good problem to have!
@mrsjazz: Congratulations on the publication!! That is wonderful!
-
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!
-
@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.
-
@grizz: just pretend that it's not infested with weeds, that hasn't been kept up with as well as picking things
Back to front is corn, zucchini, squash, banana peppers and hot peppers, bell peppers and the post at the bottom is the cucumbers and tomatoes. The second picture is the outside of the garden and watermelon
