I thought that sounded really fun...
although Jackie still hasn't forgiven me for making her go on the pirate cruise..."it was the worst day of her life"
Tammi You are giving Marci a run for her money these days.
)Ok, I need some post-baby-body advice from women who have been there
I pulled out my fall/winter stuff yesterday, which I wore before and then up until about halfway through my pregnancy. NOTHING fits! It's all the same sizes (or bigger) than I'm buying now, but you know how it goes.... nothing fits right, whether it's hanging off of me or "the right size".
The numbers on the scale say I'm significantly down from this time last year, before I got pregnant, and yet I just DON'T carry weight well anymore - probably because it's all flab, instead of mostly muscle
I know things absolutely never go back to "normal" (pre-pregnancy), but do they start to get back to something that resembles your previous body type? I especially thought this would be true since I didn't have the whole inflated hip/butt/****s thing during pregnancy (to my chagrin
I'm thinking it's just a change in muscle tone, which I'm sure can be reversed. Of course, it doesn't seem to be going any direction, even 3 months later...I don't know.
I'm not really looking for any sympathy
Thoughts? Maybe I am thankful it's still t-shirt/jeans weather
) I wish I had a magic answer, but it's still early on for you -- give yourself some time and I think you'll see some improvement.I'll gladly relinquish the title!
It seems there are a number of us overwhelmed around here and not having the best of weeks. Seriously, I've almost worked myself in to a nervous breakdown and I'm not even sure why. I have no specific reason setting me off. I think it started with my sister breaking down on her birthday on Sunday (missing Mom), and that led to a "mom" week for me, then there's work that is crazy, soccer practices/games/baseball lessons, a ridiculous amount of homework for Andrew that is causing meltdowns for both of us, I'm eating everything in sight (and nauseous but not preg) so that has me feeling overweight, my physical therapy on my shoulder seems to be making me more sore so I only slept about 4 hours Sunday night and I'm PMSing... I ended up in the laundry room shouting at Randy that I wasn't happy last night. Elizabeth -- my head might have spun around -- you'd have to ask him.
After that, I grabbed a scripture journal my SIL gave me, reminded myself to count my blessings, took two Simply Sleep pills and went to bed.
Today seems better but I still can't put my finger on what's causing the funk. Maybe it's just the worst PMS I've ever had... (sorry Tom!
That sounds very cool -- I can't wait to see pics!
Don't feel alone -- everything does move around. Even now that I've lost a lot of weight and am much smaller than before I was pregnant, I still have a pouch of fat. (and the last two weeks of eating haven't helped!
I'm glad Emma was excited. I have your visit marked on my calendar. I have Jake's soccer schedule and am waiting on Andrew's to see how the day will shakedown. Elizabeth the tour guide -- what you have planned?
I hope we can work something out, it would be wonderful to meet you!I hope the funk lifts soon
Marci,
Sorry about your funk....I have had days like that too (heck weeks like that!) Hope things calm down for you soon.
Venting does help, so thanks for listening...or not -- I do tend to go on....
Thanks ladies! What is ticking me off is that I have no reason to feel sorry for myself or be blue. For some reason, just telling myself to get over it hasn't worked.
Merrie (the lady whose company I run) just walked in to my office saying, "I can't live this way Marci." And I'm sure I gave her this startled look like she had just read my mind. She was talking about the screw-up the new admin made to her travel, and since the other admin is out sick I best get to it. Lunch over!
I hope that situations change and you all start feeling better soon. This is a stressful time of year.

I think that sometimes you have minor chemical imbalances that through you out of whack, and there is no talking yourself out of it. I certainly hope that everything is back to normal soon! I know that I get completely irrational sometimes. I realize that I am being completely irrational, but I can't stop.

). Well it must have got banged up just right on the way down, because when it hit the floor it EXPLODED all over the kitchen. I have a fairly large kitchen, and it was wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling.... from the garage/bathroom/entry, to the back of the house, to the family room. Under the island overhand, on the bottom sides of all the furniture (stools, chairs, breakfast table, etc), and of course all over the tops. All over the inside and outside of the fridge, on the windows and doors, all over the walls.), I pulled the nozzle out and before I had even attempted to start, it drizzled all over me.
So I think I failed to tell you all about the "soda incident" last week....
I was putting cans of soda into the refrigerator and dropped one (overly ambitious, I suppose
It was ridiculous.
And today, it happened in my car. I elbowed a 44-ounce (?) cup of Diet Coke (the ginormous cups from Sams), which flew into the backseat. The lid was mostly off, and coke was going EVERYWHERE, so I quickly grabbed it to put it back 'together' and saw that the straw had punched through the bottom of the foam cup. In order to pick it up and throw it out my door (quite literally), I had to effectively fling more soda ALL OVER the inside of my car, including on the girls' heads. No joke.
Then, when pumping gas, I pulled the nozzle out and before I had even attempted to start, it drizzled all over me.
Today, I'm most thankful that some days we are in unexplainable GOOD moods, no? Otherwise, I might have jumped off a cliff.
Yep! For some reason I hear that the monorail get's busy on parade day.
I think if we went in the evening we'd be fine...I'm definately not going during parade time! What do we have planned this day?Jennifer - It's time to buy water.So I think I failed to tell you all about the "soda incident" last week....
