Yeh, fiber one puts a synthetic fiber in all of their products (even the yogurt) and people complain about its affect on your GI system. The bars gave me so much gas!!
What a great birth story!! I love the part about the hand!!
Emily--I was trying to do the 30 day shred when I did those jumping jacks!! :~) Thanks for posting your birth story!!
I know you mentioned on a previous blog about trying out veganism. Another blog I read posted a link to a 21 day vegan program that is free--with tips, etc. Thought you might find it useful! I would love to try it, but have an 11 month old and so it…
thankful for my BTL buddies!

Profile Information
- About Me:
- I live and work right outside Washington, DC. Before that I was living north of Cincinnati. I am originally from upstate NY (outside of Ithaca).
I am trying to be an intuitive eater. Most recently I read a few of Geneen Roth's books and Health at Every Size, and finally feel like things are clicking.
Pregnant again! Due Feb 4th!

Tanie said… - I totally understand! About the whole non-dieting thing and feeling out of place on here. I have been skipping the blogs that have to do with criticism of self, numbers, scales, weight, and food. Those are SO not helpful to me and just pull my focus away from what's really important. I really feel like focusing more on my mental health is the *key* to getting my weight on track. Because I know what to eat and how to eat and same with exercise. But, I don't. And when I focus on it (like the scale/numbers), it becomes an unhealthy addiction. So, since I've been home more I've tried to focus more on me. Trying to do what I want when I want.... and usually this means getting off the couch and painting or hanging up pictures or vacuuming or finding cheap junk online.... and not watching T.V. or some other meaningless activity. When I do this, I feel better about myself and I eat less.... because I think about food less because my mind would rather focus on something more fun. This whole stay-at-home-mom thing is turning out to be a bigger blessing for me than I ever could have imagined. It's like I needed a big enough change to realize that I have control over what I do with my life and I wasn't fulfilling my basic needs. My needs to stimulate my mind.
One major thing I've just started to get back into is the arts. I was always making something when I was younger, but since college I have kind of abandoned it. I've been working on making the inside of my house more pleasing to the eyes and I've tried painting again too. It's been really nice. And a great release (for my mind).
Although, I am going to have to readjust to a new schedule for awhile because I am getting baby Parker (co-worker's baby) earlier than I expected. Next week! She will only be 5 weeks old so I know it may take a few months to get a good routine down... but I'm looking forward to it.
wow. I am going to cut and paste that as a blog post. I've been wanting to get that down in writing for awhile :)

Rachel said… - I don't really have a feeling but I ALWAYS picture it as a boy- and my husband always pictures it as a girl! But I would be soooo shocked if it was a girl- so I guess I do feel like it's a boy, lol. We will be happy either way! I find out Sept. 21 so just 5 days after you :) Can't wait to hear what we're both having!

Hannah said… - Hi! My appt went well today. You are right--it feels SO real! The doc talked about contractions and when to go in to the hospital. I just can't believe he is almost here! I'm a ball of emotions! How are you doing?

- Thanks for checking in with me. I have not been on here in like 2 weeks! I am still not where I need to be with weight loss, and when I'm not thinking about it I also forget about this site. I love this site, but I haven't been making my health a priority lately. I was walking every day, but when I schedule appointments/get-togethers early in the morning (9-10am), I don't go for a walk because I want Alaina to sleep in the car on the way there so she's ready for the get-together. And when I don't walk in the morning, I usually don't walk. An excuse, I know.....
School has been in session since August 4th around here and I am SO glad that I am not back at it. I just can't imagine waking up with Laney 2-3 times in the night, going to work at 6:30am, getting home at 4:30pm, cooking dinner, and spending only 1-2 hours with her. I think I would cry a lot because I'd miss her/feel guilty/feel tired. I am amazed that you do it! You are like super woman!
I am really looking forward to watching my co-workers baby at the end of September because then I can't schedule anything in the early morning and I am hoping to get some sort of a routine back with exercise/eating. Right now it's just not there.
I joined a mom's group in my area and last week went berry picking- it was a lot of fun and great to meet some other moms around here.
I've been thinking about you too- how's pregnancy going? I can imagine that you feel in limbo on here- there are not too many pregnant women right now. Raul and I may try again early next year.... but that's not quite in time to be pregnant at the same time as you. How is it different this time around?

- Thanks, Christine! You are so right, and I'm going to keep that in mind. I'm sure that once I'm in labor, all I'll think about is holding little Zachary. It's going to be such an amazing, emotional experience. I am SO ready to be a mom! I'm blessed with so much support.
