dude whats up with my header

So apparently my header made in paint isn't supported by blogger.. or maybe it's just my computer... but anyway ignore that for now.

I've SUCKED at everything health-wise lately. Every single night around this time (10:32pm) I make promises to myself. Tomorrow I will drink lots of water. Tomorrow I will exercise. Tomorrow I will up on protein.

And then I wake up in the morning... and eat cookie dough for breakfast. And wash it down with a baked cookie. And maybe a tad more cookie dough. I really need to learn to stop baking cookies. Something happens to me when the temperature dips below 60 degrees, I feel a need to bake. I need to fix that.

I also haven't weighed myself at all since that last time I updated with my weight. The batteries in our scale died around the same time, and I just haven't ever remembered to get the right batteries while out. And truthfully I'm not sure I want to know. I'm thinking at this point I will wait until after the baby is born, and then a couple of weeks.

My new midwife sees no reason in tracking a woman's weight while pregnant. She says it doesn't tell us anything. She takes my blood pressure and checks for swelling and all that, but she says as long as I'm feeling fine that's a better indicator than a number on a scale. And I love her for that.

But I really need to exercise more. Seriously it is sad how out of breath I get going up my stairs. Or trying to put a fitted sheet on our king sized bed.  I'm telling you that was a sight. I need to just start walking. Or anything. I pretty much have a goal everyday of moving as little as possible. And that is not a healthy goal. Probably normal for someone who is 8 months pregnant for the third time since 2007.But still... I need to be working on it.

Okay goals for tomorrow: drink more water. Move. Maybe now that I promised you, blog, I will do it.
