Well, so much for that...

Just saw on the news this morning that it was an earthquake o_O
It was a 4.1 to the west? of us. Surprised I felt anything but still... wow.

Happy V Day!!

No photos of Zoe. TOTALLY forgot to take some. Even dressed her in a cute red top and her heart jeans.
We were just so excited that we could drive somewhere today that it slipped our minds.
We've been house bound since Tuesday since the snow/ice storm hit us.
I was ok since I'm used to being home all the time, but DH was coming down with some cabin fever and needed to get out of the house lol.
It's scary to think of who did have to go out the day before though. The day before everything was ICE. Snow then ice on top then snow and more ice. I can't imagine people having to drive on that. SO frickin glad DH took this week off b/c of his wisdom teeth removal.

Diet is going well. No big news there. Just still doing what we've been doing.
This coming Thursday will be our last official day of WHole30, but we're sticking to being healthier. We'll add back in some dark chocolate and probably some other sweet primal treats here and there, but that's going to be it after our cheats.
Gotta keep this weight loss on track and get my body healthy again.
Figure it's going to take a few months for my hormones to sort themselves out enough to where I'm ovulating again. At least I hope that happens.

I swear the house just shook. Heard a rumble like if a huge truck passes right by you and the house shook a little. It was only just a little bit and only lasted for a second, but that was strange.
We live in the back of a neighborhood so no reason for there to be a truck... and.. yeah.
We have gotten very small earthquakes here and there before since we're on a faultline but I've never felt anything.. at least nothing like that.
Not sure if that was something but still interesting. Wonder what it was.
Too bad DH wasn't awake so I'd have someone that could back this up lol.
And I'm not saying it was an earthquake lol. I highly doubt it was.

Weigh in

So since I have to take DH to the dentist tomorrow morning, I figured I would do my weigh in today...

204.2!!!!

That's a total of 8.2lbs lost since starting Whole30. I know most of that is water weight but I will take it!
5 more pounds until I see the Onederlands again! WOOT!
I said it before, but this time I'm determined.
Once I see that 1 in front of my weight, it's going to STAY a one in front. No more 200s!!!

Well that's unless I get pregnant soon and gain from that, but other than that, no more 200's!!

UGH, I gotta bitch....

Ok so SiL and my bro came over for a little bit so we could visit with their baby boy.
My brother does not have the best track record with holding a job. One thing or another happens and he ends up getting fired. It happens over and over and over again.
Well, it SEEMS like he might be getting a permanent job (for now), so now him and SiL have these HUGE plans to spend all this money that they don't frickin have, or if they do, it's a dwindling amount that needs to be saved, at least some of it.
Now I don't usually care how people want to spend their money, but planning a family trip to Comic Con is NOT the way to go when you are on fucking FOOD STAMPS.
I am not against food stamps for people that need them.... but COME ON. That is just... UGH!

I just want to SHAKE the shit out of them!!! We're not the best with our money either but damn, they are IDIOTS when it comes to theirs. Seriously.... you want to go to Comic Con (4 F-ing plane tickets, PLUS hotel, PLUS the tickets to actually get in), nevermind your car payments and insurance that our MOM had to pay for you (good luck to her if she's expecting to get paid back).

And they tell us all this shit like it's no big deal. Like we're supposed to be excited for them. Uhm... no. I'm pissed that you're pissing away your money and not even thinking about saving up, or cleaning up your filthy F-ing house that you've completely ruined with dog piss and shit and smoke.


UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGH!!!!!!!! Some people man..... you love them, but damn would it make you feel good to just smack them a few times. Or at the very least scream at them.

Randomness and junk

I have a bit of an obsession with weighing myself while trying to lose weight. I know you shouldn't do it daily b/c your weight can fluctuate so much, but I find it helps to keep me on track better and gives me a better idea of what my body is doing.

Welp, I weighed this morning and I saw 204.8!!! O_O
WOO!

Last week my weight had jumped back up to about 210 for a while, then it dropped back down to around 207, now.. this! NICE!!!

I've been using myfitnesspal to keep track of food for a little while. I wanted to make sure I wasn't getting too many carbs.
I've been eating a lot BUT I'm not getting a ton of calories. Answering all of the questions on MFP, my daily cal intake should be about 1200. Yeah, JUST 1200, but I've rarely gotten up to that much since starting and I have NOT been starving myself. In fact, I still think I eat a good bit.

Like if we bought pork chops. I'll have 2 for breakfast or lunch, then 3-4 eggs for breakfast or lunch.
Then a good healthy portion of meat for dinner along with a side of veggies and a salad. I cook with coconut oil or butter and yeah... it's good stuff. Oh and snacks has been an apple or pear and maybe some seaweed wraps.
But it all still usually doesn't add up to 1200.
I don't want to put myself in to starvation mode, but I also don't want to force feed myself. I feel hungry, I eat something. It's just that what I've been eating isn't full of calories, ya know?

Zoe is growing up so quick.
She's actually telling me "No" now. Like say for instance, if she wasn't hungry before, she would just push the food away or turn her head.
Now it's a straight up No.
And changing her diaper, she thinks it's hilarious to say no and then lock her chubby little legs straight so it's hard to get her diaper on :P lol

She's gonna have to stay with MiL on Monday. DH is getting his wisdom teeth taken out. Yikes. I need to have that done as well.... hell, I just need to go to the dentist, but whatever.
Not sure when we're giving her to MiL though. Maybe Sunday lunch since his appointment is early morning.

OPKs have been totally negative. I will say that there has been a difference in the way they look though.
Before, I would get a light but still decent looking line on OPKs all the time. But for about a week now (give or take a day), they've been super light and faint.... what I would imagine is how they SHOULD be.
Took one this morning (I know taking them later is best, but I'm a POASaholic) and it looks more like how they used to. *shrugs*
I doubt it means anything other than just fluctuation in LH, but still... just an observation.

OH also yesterday, I noticed in the shower that I didn't have as much hair falling out as I usually do.
Before, I'd have at least a dozen or more loose hairs. I'd have them clinging to my body so I'd have to pick them off, I'd pull away half a dozen when shampooing and conditioning, etc.
But last night... nope. No stray loose hairs stuck anywhere and shampooing, conditioning, then drying, only maybe 5 or 6.
Not sure if it's just a fluke but I hope not.
I used to have thick hair, would be nice to at least keep what I have left of it.

18m checkup

Zoe had her checkup yesterday and everything looked good.
She only had one shot and didn't even cry. She fussed a little but was ok heh.
Height was 32.2in, weight 23.2, head circ, 45.2

DH and I were a little concerned since her head didn't grow that much, but her doctor wasn't concerned at all.
And other than the late walking, she's pretty much right on time with all of her development.

She's fussing wanting to get up right now so, gotta get! heh

Wow, now that was a meltdown!!

So we went and picked Zoe up yesterday.
She looked fine, MiL said she didn't sleep a lot but overall was ok.
She was totally find and all smiles while out at lunch, then... in the car the screaming cries started.
She knew she was going home and I think that's when the fatigue hit her. She was tired and not happy about it.
BUT we had to go to the store first.
So we went to the Asian market, DH is letting her walk around some, and man.... we had our first meltdown in a public place and it was LOUD lol.
She just screamed her cute tired little head off and wasn't having ANY of it!!
Told DH to just take her out to the car while I finished up.

We finally got home and she slept 2hrs and woke up crying and grumpy as hell b/c she wasn't ready to get up.

We kept her up until her bedtime though (thankfully her mood got better), so we could feed her and whatnot and she zonked right out and sttn and is happily napping right now. Not her usual nap time but whatever....

Makes me dread how tired she's going to be when she's over there for almost 3 days :(
My poor girl! Hopefully by then w/ lots of overnighters w/ granny, she'll get used to being there and will actually sleep more so this won't be a problem.
