Asha Phoenix Posted May 3 Report Share Posted May 3 Welp..... last challenge went okay, and if I'm being honest, we'll see how active I am with this one. Considering moving everything to my battle log for this one, but at least putting something here just in case. Baby's due date is tomorrow so I've picked some, hopefully, simple goals. Vitamins As it has been with pretty much all of my challenges, this one is staying again. I didn't do so well with this one last challenge and hope to do better with keeping ontop of things this time. > To help meet this goal, I plan to count out my vitamins over the weekends. Rest This one is simple: Rest when possible. > A lot of resting will be happening when Baby is asleep. Presence On the opposite side of resting will be existing with and taking care of Baby. The goal here is to remain present and not be distracted by my phone. I'd like to get the time spent on my phone down since it's time I could spend doing other things, especially once Baby's here. lol Book This one doesn't matter to me so much, but since I've been working on trying to finish The Silmarillion, this will be a goal till I finish it. lol > Read The Silmarillion at least once a week. 3 Quote Lover of all things Dragons and stuff -~-~-~ Sunrunner | LVL 3* 504|24 -185 “It was difficult to think about worshiping God when so many things were going wrong.

Katammers Posted May 3 Report Share Posted May 3 I don't know anything about kids, but I have a feeling you'll have TONS of things to distract you from your phone. Just remember you don't have to be productive 100% of the time. Sometimes it's okay to just give your brain a break and veg out. Good luck! 2 1 Quote Link to comment

D and I went for a nice walk on Saturday and another good walk Monday. It's been getting nicer out and that makes me happy! I'm thankful to have such nice places to go and walk nearby and a nice yard for days I can't/ don't feel like leaving home. 3 Quote Lover of all things Dragons and stuff -~-~-~ Sunrunner | LVL 3* 504|24 -185 “It was difficult to think about worshiping God when so many things were going wrong.

Asha Phoenix Posted May 11 Author Report Share Posted May 11 Week One: - 1/7 pts - 0/? pts - 0/? pts - 1/1 pt Total pts: 2 Tuesday was a good day. Spent some time outside in the evening. It was a pretty chill day; not a whole lot going on. Still waiting on Baby. Really hoping she comes soon! They have an induction schedule, but I'm not entirely sure I want to be induced (as much as I want her here, I'd much rather things happen naturally. lol). I guess we'll see what happens though... 3 Quote Lover of all things Dragons and stuff -~-~-~ Sunrunner | LVL 3* 504|24 -185 “It was difficult to think about worshiping God when so many things were going wrong.

Asha Phoenix Posted May 15 Author Report Share Posted May 15 Week One: - 2/7 pts - 0/? pts (+3) - 0/? pts (+3) - 2/1 pts (+5) Total pts: 15 Didn't do real well with vitamins this week. Really need to count them out over the weekend since that seems to help. Baby is still not here, so I didn't do any tracking with the middle two goals. (Still added a few points per goal since it's not really something I can control. lol) Reading went well this week. Got some time to read and actually remembered to pull out the Silmarillion! I think I have about 40 pages left! (Unfortunately, the percentage read doesn't show that real well because of all the indexing and other things in the back of the book.) Overall, pretty happy with week one. ---- Had a couple non-stress tests for Baby. She's doing well! Can't wait for her to officially be here though! 4 Quote Lover of all things Dragons and stuff -~-~-~ Sunrunner | LVL 3* 504|24 -185 “It was difficult to think about worshiping God when so many things were going wrong.

Asha Phoenix Posted May 25 Author Report Share Posted May 25 The weekend was really nice. Saturday was BabyG's first official outing. Sunday D and I celebrated our 1 year anniversary. My family was super sweet and gave us a candle lit dinner in a small spot in the house and watched BabyG while we ate and spent that time together. It was very kind of them and was really nice. 3 1 Quote Lover of all things Dragons and stuff -~-~-~ Sunrunner | LVL 3* 504|24 -185 “It was difficult to think about worshiping God when so many things were going wrong.
