SAHM 9/27 to 10/3

Katie~Way to go on the loss!

Amypyr~I am having troubles with the prospects of it as well. It's only been 6 hours since he left and the kids are already asking where he is and when he is coming home. Good luck with the Renaissance Festival. Loved the comment about your son's checkup me and a friend got a good laugh!

Barb~ that is awesome about the smaller size way to go!

Stacey~Yes they do have it where you can listen/watch it later. However I feel lost if I don't listen or watch while it is going on. I do plan on going back and really be able to take in what is being taught though. As for zumba if it is anything like the dance videos that I have it should get easier with each time that you do the workout video. I have not done zumba but I had thought about it since I hear how fun it is.

Well I got all my salsa made for this season. I wonder how long it is going to last us. I am hoping for the full year. I was able to go see my niece and her parents last night. She is soooooo tiny but very beautiful! I loved being there when they did her vitals and changed her diaper. She got so mad and her cry still was not very loud. I plan on taking the kids on a walk later to help them be able to get through the weekend. A friend of mine called me this morning and asked if I would like for her to come over tomorrow and help me out with the kids and keep me company. Which is kind of a shock because she hasn't been wanting to do anything with me lately. But hey I will take it if she is willing to hang out with me. Well got to go. Hope everyone's weekend is great!

welcome april! this is a great group. and i'm rt there w/ you re: willpower. follow thru is not my strong suit. 7# is a great start so feel free to jump in the conversation anytime.

katiem--so would take up friend on that offer! hang in there.
and glad you got to see your new niece.

well, i did something BOLD for me today---i had a color rinse for my hair. i have so much gray (i'm 39) and my hair has lost a lot of color and shine since living in Vegas. i think it looks great--darker and shiny again!! we were going for cinnamon highlights. once upon a time, i really looked like the little irish girl with pale skin, freckles, auburn hair and green eyes. so i'm excited to have some of that look back! i can't wash it till MONDAY morning, so that means no workout tomorrow. i get too sweaty. but monday--zumba here i come!

off to play one last game with little ones.

Stacey - Thanks for the welcome! I don't follow through too well at all...I have started to lose this weight several times, lost abot 5 lbs then hit a plateau of something and just stopped. I could always get to about 150 and then nada....but today I think I may have broke through!!! I can tell a difference in the fit of my clothes and by the scale I am now actually below 150!!! I try not to weigh any more than once a week but I just couldn't help it this morning! YAY!!! That gives me GREAT motivation to keep going!

So glad to be a part of this group! Will hopefully be able to check in often....

Welcome April! This group has given me sometime to be able to connect with other SAHM's. It has been great!

Stacey~Isn't it nice to do stuff for yourself? Too many times as moms forget about ourselves.

I am hoping that today flies by (yesterday dragged). I noticed that we all did better when we kept ourselves busy than when we didn't have anything to do. So I am going to try to fill our day with activities so that we can stay busy. We were able to start off the day with talking to the hubby/dad on the phone and I think that is going to help all of us out. It was cute/heart breaking when my 1 yo was asking for daddy this morning. Which is why I called him. 1 yo kept chanting dada and looking around. He knows that in the morning daddy is there. So he was trying to find him since he hasn't seen him since Friday night. Well best be going our "church" will be starting soon (listening to general conf on the radio).

Hey girls! I was just curious who all drinks their water "straight". Drinking my 8+ glasses a day has been a work in progress for me due to the fact I don't like water all that much. I have started to really aquire a taste for it but I am still "spiking" about half of mine with crystal light. Anyone else do this and what are your thoughts on adding stuff to your water...you think it should be mostly pure water?

KatieM7

April~I mostly drink my straight but I do occasionally drink it with crystal light on the go packets. That is only when I just don't feel like drink water. For me I would like to drink most of mine plain though. Sometimes it is hard for me to get in all of my water.

Thanks Ladies If you want to see my whole outfit, I'll post a pic under my profile and you can check it out. I posted one of me and my hubby from Saturday night. We had a blast at the club! And my mom is going to watch the kids every other month so that me and hubby can go out like that again. I of course, had just a little too much and was gone, lol, hubby got buzzed, but sobered up before driving us home. Sunday, we picked up the kids and went to the Apple Fest and had some good old family fun and togetherness. :drinker: :laugh: :blushing:

Today, back to the normal week, ugh! Laundry this morning, took hubby to the dentist to have his filling looked at, had lunch with hubby, and back home.

Forgot to weigh in this morning, so I'll do that first thing tomorrow morning...Have a good day ladies! And welcome to all the new comers.
