Hey y'all! Just a quick check in, about all I can say is right now is that I'm under calories. Barely, but I don't plan on eating anything else tonight. Will check in later with a full run down with goals. See y'all in a bit

completely off goals, completely rough week, only slept 2-3 hours in 45 min chunks past 3 nights in a row, DH is being unsupportive and rude and i threw out my back and DH is still making me to all the baby care and lifting and walking and carpooling. no wonder i'm overeating.

Better day for me today, but i've been soo busy ive barely had time to even think about food! Haha, well, i guess thats a good thing. today i went shopping and bought some almond milk. Ive never tried it before, but it has only 90 calories compared to the 130 in cows milk. Has anybody here tried it before? Is it good? I was hoping to add it to my breakfast fruity oatmeal tomorrow.

I have been on a tear of productivity since Friday, even though my goals don't reflect it. I am approaching that fantasy-state called All Caught Up...but given the nature of that beast, I'm not holding my breath. Tomorrow I'm back in the office to work, so all bets are off. Hope you all have a good one; I'm off to take my melatonin so hopefully I can get the sleep goal tonight.

Tori. Great job on getting creative with the kiddies. What did you dye them with, my gran used to use cold tea and gorse flowers to make them a strange yellows brown speckle , we also painted patterns with some watered down food dyes. Then we took them to a local hill where we rolled them down until they hit the rocks and the shell broke, then we ate them, great memories.
I saw a girl on TV this morning age 15 and she makes herself up to look like a living doll, porcelain skin, long blonde hair, rosebud lips and rosy pink cheeks. At first I was horrified as she goes online like this and shows other kids how to do the make up but then I thought, well some dress as Goths, some as mods, others as rock chicks and some hippies (most of which I have been). She looked demure and pretty and it saddened me that I thought there will be pervs out there who will log on ogle this young girl for their own sick reasons but that's not her fault. Would I want my daughter if I had one to do this, probably no but I'm sure my mum hated me in my mini dress and white PVC boots.
