I just had my second daughter in October. I spent last year doing a year full of pre-requisites while parenting a 3 year old and enduring a high risk pregnancy (followed by finishing a term paper while in labour and writing papers and finals while recovering from an emergency c-section. Yay!) If I get accepted, my program starts in July. Fortunately, it's part-time and blended online and on-campus, which I'm telling myself won't be as trying. We shall see!

My go-to is allrecipes.com. They have thousands of recipes for every meal and snack imaginable. I love it! You can sign up for a daily email and they send you recipes to try out

I struggle with finding the time (and energy) as well. I find it's easier if I break my workouts into smaller routines. My entire weights routine takes just over an hour or so, so if I do half every other day, and sometimes with a rest the third day, I can still improve my fitness and manage my time well. I love cooking and baking too! It's so fun to try new recipes and make up your own dishes, while saving money and improving on your diet.

Thanks so much for your kind words! I weight train at least three times a week, and try to get out for walks and runs but those are a little harder with two kids I refuse to follow one of those trendy diets (and I suck at it), so I just try to make smart food choices. I did, however, cut out all starchy carbs except for at dinnertime (I love rice, pasta and potatoes too much to avoid them altogether!). I make all my own meals and avoid fast food and takeout for the most part (also to save money), with occasional treats of course. I just try to eat well and for nutritional rather than weight loss purposes. It was a hard groove to get into though.

I think this is a great approach to managing the stress of waiting. I just hit my goal weight today after having my second baby in October (35 pounds of pregnancy weight plus 10!) I feel great!

I called today, twice. It went to voicemail both times. I did not leave a message, and hope I hear back before I cave and call again!

I haven't heard a thing from UBC either. I'm getting so sick of waiting!

I'm also waiting on a program with a December 1 deadline. The decisions were made the week before last, and I was told that they were waiting for the FGS to approve the decisions before they'll start notifying. Apparently that can take til mid-March!

"why it takes them so long to reach this shit decision. its time to set it on fire" All right then...

Posted this in the other thread but I meant to post it here The UBC Counselling Psych admissions committee has made their decisions and has sent them to the FGS for final approval. Hopefully I'll know in the next few weeks! I sure wish they'd tell us now though.
