SF's road to mortgage freedom!

I've been to my first pregnancy yoga class tonight and I really enjoyed it lots of stretching techniques to help all the aches and pains - especially lower back which is where I'm struggling a bit at the moment I properly zoned out in the relaxation bit at the end, it was marvelous

Another NSD for me today - I took Greek yogurt and fruit salad topped with granola for lunch, which was really tasty. I'm still trying to get my 5 a day! I'm also becoming more aware of trying to be sensible with eating so I'm not gaining too much weight too quickly. I feel huge

I've written a blog post today about starting a stockpile, as I think it's something we're going to be doing from now until baby arrives. I do also intend to do a batch cooking freezer session nearer the time, so that we'll have some healthy "ready meals" to hand for those first couple of weeks. That's the plan, anyway!

Happy Tuesday everyone

Oh my goodness, I'm so tired today :wall: it has just been one of those days where it drags so badly and patience is at an all time low. I cannot seem to get comfortable at night and seem to be awake most of the time at the moment

Another NSD for me today. I had beans on toast for breakfast this morning, which I've not ever done before on a week day (!), took greek yogurt/strawberries/raspberries/blueberries and granola for lunch and then we had tuna pasta bake for tea.

I feel so unmotivated today

Just take care of you.
Dont worry about being unmotivated.

Na na na na na na na na na na na - nesting! Nesting! Nesting! :rotfl:

Ps. Your lunch sounds like diet food, are you getting your daily calories (i.e. 2,000 + 400)?

I'll be honest - I'm struggling a bit with food/intake at the moment. As someone who struggled with food issues when I was younger, I'm slightly worried that, as I get bigger and bigger, the more difficult I'm going to find it I am trying though!

Just remember - nobody ever looks at a glowing pregnant woman and thinks 'what a fatty'! Seriously, it's the one time where having a big belly is a badge of honour, be kind to yourself

Seconded by me.

Thank you E and beanie

Boy, am I glad it's Friday. Absolutely shattered! Struggling to get enough sleep now, as can't stay comfortable for long enough (isn't pregnancy attractive? ) and also getting far too hot. Joy! I'm looking forward to a lazy morning tomorrow and not having to get up at the alarm.

It's been a NSD for me today; had porridge for breakfast, followed by the granola/berries/yogurt combo for lunch and some mini cheddars. Got a mushroom and chickpea stew bubbling away at the moment, which we'll have with some rice. I've then got some very tasty ben and jerrys to have for afterwards - it's one of the core ones and oh so tasty it was half price in Mr Ms....

Some small account shuffles done today; looking forward to payday when I can do the big ones, including the mortgage OP. Once I've been paid again this month, we're going to go and buy the car...!

Happy Friday everyone

Loving the stockpiling, that's what I did before retirement.

Different stage of life, but the same principle!

So, I weighed myself this morning and I appear to have lost a lb this week which isn't supposed to happen at this point! Also, went to a family gathering last night and lots of people commented on how small/neat my bump is, so perhaps I'm not the giant monster I currently feel like I am

Having Sunday dinner followed by apple crumble today so I'll have put it back on by tomorrow no doubt I am finding it hard though, so when I have my next antenatal appointment on Wednesday, I'm going to ask a couple of questions about it.

Today should be a NSD, but won't declare it until later

Happy Sunday everyone
