Oh, a quick update on my pregnant coworker with all the issues? She had the baby on the 24th, a full 15 days before her due date. TEN POUNDS.

Yeah, I'll be busting my ass to avoid gestational diabetes, thanks.

Omg! I do know a few women with 10+ lb babies

I know that some women just have big babies - hell, Reid was 8 lbs, 11 oz - but a 10-pounder a full two weeks early? I'm putting my money on the GD.

Oh yes! My mother had it w my brother and he was ten lbs and i was early and five lbs!

Just ate a bowl of brussel sprouts. Still have power for now and unsure what else to eat

Reid was right on time - born on his due date - I'm just fat.

So my running is really getting back on track. We ran 4 days last week which is acceptable (5 would be optimal). Now I just need to get my eating under control.

Good job MM! I have a really hard time upping my mileage and controlling my eating at the same time. Running makes me hungry!!!

Great job, MM! I was supposed to start back at the gym tonight, but my trainer had to cancel. He's starting a new day job on Thursday, so he's trying to wrap up at his current job. I'm okay with that - Reid keeps waking up at 5:30, so I'm exhausted.

good job MM!

I was planning to run tonight but my tummy is realllly iffy and it's straight up poring rain. Bleah.

I'm planning on getting up and going for a walk in the morning. Reid's been waking up at 5:30 anyway. What's a half hour earlier?

I call BS! Badwater is in no way considered to be fair weather!

. But yeah, I don't like running in rain either.

I'm a bad person. I called in sick today. I kind of hate myself for it, but it's done now, and I really do have a lot I need to get taken care of here.

diablita · « **Reply #5074 on:** October 31, 2012, 09:14:13 AM »

you are not a bad person, debba. please. you're taking a mental health day. I took one two Wednesdays ago, badly needed, and it helped a lot.
enjoy yours and Happy Halloween!

Thanks, diablita.

where did you go? sushi buffet?

merigayle · « **Reply #5078 on:** November 01, 2012, 08:20:08 AM »

vegan buffet. And they only had cake cut into 1 inch x 1 inch squares, so not too much damage. They had some avocado sushi with brown rice, and then i had a little bit of everything-- spicy string beans, general tsao's, sweet and sour "meat"balls, stirfry, etc. I had nothing fried, and just a little bit of rice, no noodles, so i was happy with it. I ate a ton though.

debbatx · « **Reply #5079 on:** November 01, 2012, 09:53:42 AM »

I don't mind running in a drizzle or light rain. A downpour or super-cold weather (for us) - BLECH. Noooooo!

Glad you had a good birthday dinner, meri!! My day off really helped. I'm still tired - I woke up twice last night, both within a couple of hours of the alarm going off - but I'm definitely more relaxed. Getting done what I did yesterday (and sneaking out to a movie) gave my brain a big ol' break.
