I realized how much I need/am inspired by you all.

I missed all of you and the inspiration from this forum so much while i was offline for the past month. i had the hardest time being thrifty this past month. i had a couple of weeks of feeling like i was going to pass out all of the time (low glucose levels finally determined) and i was pulling into drive thrus and eating out because it was hard to cook myself the protein i was needing. i didn't have a computer to freecycle or sell my stuff like i usually do as i come across things. we put ds into a "big boy room" and cleared out mounds of stuff that sat in my garage...although i did have a very successful yard sale that made $160.

i think that yard sale was my one and only victory in this area this month. that was great. and i took everything that didn't sell to goodwill...so there you go...another victory right there

looking forward to doing better this month. already did better yesterday and today by packing all the food and snacks i needed for the day in case i was out longer than i was thinking when i left the house without food....or hungrier...or not feeling well and needing to eat, which is happening all the time with my big, 35 weeks pg self.

I've been wondering how you were doing, glad to see you back. And wow...only a few weeks left until you'll be holding that new baby of yours.

Welcome back!
