Goals - Staying Well Rested

 
 

I've been M.I.A. because I'm end the home stretch of pregnancy and it just leaves me so tired. Also, I have not adjusted to my new schedule, at all. I feel like I'm always running out of time. The days still hold the same amount of time, but my mind is passing through it differently. It's really weird.

My OB is out of town this week and so I'm trying my best to NOT go into labor. She said she doesn't think that'll be an issue, but knowing my luck, I would be the one to go into labor when it is least convenient.

Honestly, my goals for right now are to just make it to my doctor appointments on time and get plenty of rest. I still have two more weeks of work before I go on maternity leave and even though I have a desk job, I come home exhausted every single day.

My (amended) daily tasks are:

  • Make the bed EVERY DAY. 
  • Put away the clean dishes in the morning.
  • Spend 10 minutes a day on dishes.
  • Do something laundry related every day or get Mr. LL to do it.
  • Journal/Meditate

For my (amended) weekly tasks,  I'm actually putting these on hold for right now. While I still want to wipe down the bathroom and dust every week, I'm not forcing it.

Meal Plan Monday

 
 

Mr. LL is really wanting to eat healthier, so I'm trying to work with him. I'm not really in a position to go on a diet, but I can get most of our meals to a healthier place. The snacks I'll just keep at work so he won't be tempted.

Breakfasts

Hard boiled eggs, grits (for me), coffee

Monday

Chicken and Asian chopped salad

Tuesday

Steak and salad (+ baked potato for me)

Wednesday

Chicken and roasted veggies

Thursday

Crab Cakes and Asian chopped salad

Friday

Leftovers

Lunches

Salads, hummus, cheese sticks, fruit with water

Snacks

Hummus, bacon, pepperoni, berry smoothies, eggs

Goals - ALL the things

 
 

Today is the day of the baby shower my best friend, Annie (over at PaperDollDigital) is throwing me! So I'm going to keep this kinda short. I have a lot I want to focus on this week: getting things ready for Lazy Baby, cleaning out the back room, taking care of myself, eating well (with Mr. LL, more on that tomorrow), and exercising. Here's hoping I'm not just in a manic-nesting mood right now.

My daily tasks are:

  • Make the bed EVERY DAY. 
  • Put away the clean dishes in the morning.
  • Spend 10 minutes a day on dishes.
  • Do something laundry related every day.
  • 10 minute pick up before bed.
  • Journal
  • Meditate

For my weekly tasks:

  • Clean the bathroom
  • Dust 
  • Walk 4 days a week.
