Good Tuesday Morning Mom's......The Eastern Shoes of Maryland was hit with a little snow, very little snow...Like an inch of snow, that put us at a 2 hour school delay....lol I come from upstate NY where we are normally hit with snow and we measure it in Feet, not inches...lol They just don't know how to cope with it down here....lol
All is well, I am feeling better with each day....I am dying to get to the gym, today is my last day home of rest.. Hoping to get at it tomorrow, but work back at it slowly..

Good morning! I did so great on my exercise last week, but then the weekend came. I didn't exercise like I should (although I did walk home from church Sunday 1.5 miles), and I ate WAY too many Girl Scout cookies. So I ended up gaining some of the weight back that I lost by Friday. At least I'm not quite back to where I was a week ago. But I was so happy on Friday thinking that I'm finally back out of the 160s, only to end up back there again.
Welcome to all the new ladies! :flowerforyou:0 -
Just stay motivated Amy!! Walking is such a great stress reliever!
I have to share my mini goal today ladies... I stepped on the scale this morning and lost 1.4 lbs which means i have lost 15lbs!!!!!!!!! WOOOOHOOOOOO! sorry I have to do my victory dance now! It's time for some shopping!!!!! :drinker:0 -
Welcome everyone!!
Stacey~ I am still so new to this so I don't have any advice, just support! You can do this, you have before!
So many of us are 29! I turn 30 in May as well!0 -
AJ - Now I'm also anxiously awaiting the arrival of your shoes, hahaha.
Christi - Sounds like muscle to me, I bet you'll see the scale move in your favor, next week. BTW, your pics sound beautiful, what a wonderful gift for your hubby.
Photomandy - How far do you jog?
Katie M - Don't know if I could ever go raw but I did consider going vegetarian a while back. I eat meat but I don't like to touch it or cook it, LOL. I do of course but it grosses me out. Also, I use to live on a farm so I named all the cows and then when they would disappear I was devistated. My dad always blamed it on a sink hole, clever man! Ummmm, our hubbies might be sole brothers. Before our talk mine asked me to start buying cookies b/c he loves the ones at my parents house. I said NO. He argued with me but I finally said he'd just have to have them at my parents on the weekend and be happy with that.
Cat - Funny that school was delayed by the snow. When we lived in OK they shut down the town if we got more than an inch. If I'm able to attend the hike this weekend I'll be sure to post some pics. I really hope to make it.
Amypry - Darn cookies, I swear if I even see a girl scout I'm gonna start running. My plan is to support them by doing the boxes for the troops. I love supporting them but don't want to be stuck talking myself off the cookie ledge each night.
Elijah - Congrats on 15 pounds, that is AWESOME!!
So, I started a meetup group for my subdivision, it's a cross b/w a moms group and a ladies night out group. Hope it does well and stays drama free. I'm excited b/c we have some great neighbors. Also plan on starting a walking/jogging group once the group gets going. Can't wait!
I just realized I'm starting couch to 5K in one week!!!0 -
I guess I'm the "old lady" of the group, hehehe. I turn 33 in March.

Guess what - MY BABY SLEPT THROUGH THE NIGHT!! 4 days in a row. I'm totally jinxing myself talking about it, but man it has been terrible the last couple months so I'm psyched.
Weight loss wise I'm stuck. I'm working out 5x a week and sticking to my cals exactly and last week I was only down 0.6 lbs. I weigh myself every morning and haven't gone down, really, from there. I'm trying to decide if I want to increase my cals for a few days or just wait it out and see what this weeks official weigh in brings.
We were supposed to go on a road trip to a nearby aquarium today, but one of the other babies was sick and it got canceled, I was super bummed. Now I'm sitting here still in my PJs while she's napping. At least I've done laundry?0 -
Amy - I'll be 33 in Sept so your not the only one already in your 30s! Plus I know there are a few more of us
0 -
Wildcatmom82 - Have you tried changing your workouts? I've heard that can help if you hit a plateau. Congrats on 4 nights of sleep!! At 16 months my little man still gets up sometimes, drives me crazy but.........he's a snuggler so I just love on him and back he goes.0

LOL, thank goodness.0 -
Wow! There's a lot to catch up on and its only Tuesday!
I'll go back and try to read everything but for now in the mean time
WELCOME all newcomers, I was skimming through and saw LOTS of newcomers! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:
Also, so this is so generic, like I said, I'll go back later and catch up, sorry for everyone on here ranting and having bad days or sick children (I know the feeling, hence the reason why I'm being generic right now)
Took my little baby boy (9 months old) to the dr this morning bc the cough he's had since last week was getting worse, found out he has a cold and the beginning stages of an ear infection, plus he's getting 4 teeth!?! (The bottom 2 and the top 2 all at once!)
Sorry this is short, will be back later. Gonna go try to eat some lunch, having a subway sandwich.0 -
Hey ladies I'm a SAHM and just found yall! I just had my 2nd child 3 months ago and am working on not just losing weight but getting in shape. I have a goal of running the DIsney princess half marathon next year! Which I am so excited about (I am not sure if it cause we will being going to disney or to be able to complete something like that.) haha! 0
-
Clcole~ I only did 18 minutes of it LOL just wasn't feeling it. I'm going to do it again today though! I feel ya on the snow, I'm from ND and even here in OH they cancel for small amounts. Drives me crazy!
Elijah ~ Congrats on the loss!! You look awesome!
bina ~ When is your bday? Mine's the 28th!
4loveofkids ~ Where did you live in OK? We just moved from there! Have fun with C25k!!
Wildcat ~ wohoo! I bet you feel like a brand new woman!
Barb ~ Ouch! poor baby!
Welcome Swtchrypie! I want to to the Disney half marathon one day, would be so much fun!
I'm about to put the kids down and try 6 week 6 pack again, hope it goes better today LOL0 -
I'm afraid I have you all beat age-wise so far - I'm 35 and not sure how that happened! I swear I was just 30.
Oh, and to answer how far I run - it depends... Still nursing my youngest and happy to get in 3 miles or so... if I had the time and was less milki-licious I'd try for some 4 or 5 milers sometimes... Might train for a 10 miler this summer. Love to run, but NOT fast.
The Disney Priness Marathon sounds great! And the Couch to 5 K also is a great goal!0 -
Right now I'm doing the C25K, so that workout changes weekly. I do that 3x a week, a boot camp workout once or twice a week, and usually Just Dance 2 on the Wii once a week. I've been thinking about ordering Turbo Jam for years now and I think I'm going to - I need a few more workouts on DVD.Wildcatmom82 - Have you tried changing your workouts?

For the last month she had been getting up only once a night, but for 2-3 hours. It was like she decided it was playtime, ugh. I didn't mind the wake ups when it was a quick nurse and back to sleep. I was most impressed last night, she did 8-7:30!0 -
Katie - We lived in Tulsa (actually just outside Tulsa in Broken Arrow). I went to HS in Jenks and college in Tahlequah. Where did you live?
Wow, lots of runners on here, that's great. I use to dream of doing a marathon but a good friend recently had total hip replacement at 38. She's been a runner for over 10 years but I've never heard of anyone so young having hip replacement. Her doctor said he is doing lots on young people now. Kind of scared me a bit. I'd still like to do one at some point but I guess I better tackle a 5K first, LOL.0 -
I guess I'm the "old lady" of the group, hehehe. I turn 33 in March.
nope--it's me at 40 this september.0 -
Katie- The 15th! Are you doing anything fun? I think my hubby is planning something, not sure what!
Amy- I am aspiring to a 5K! Ha. Crazy about your friend having a hip replacement so early!
Going to do my bootcamp now!0 -
ladies, thank you for all your kind words....you touched my heart. i really enjoy this board--reading everyone's successes and challenges is inspiring. i love rdg workouts too. katiem, i appreciate how you said when you want to walk away is when you most need it.
i'm not giving up on losing weight. i absolutely don't want to go into my 40s like i am today! i just gotta figure out a way through this rough spot.
katie--i aim for 1500 a day, just never stay there. but i'm going to keep trying.
i'm sure i'd do great with a set eating plan made for me to keep my cals consistent. it's that i change things up all the time that i run into trouble.
nicole--miss you girl! thanks for your note. i did chk out your diary. and we eat similarly. (i once looked at melissa's--are you out there?--and she eats like a bird). i can see from yours that i need to eat protein at lunch and dinner. and use those apples for snacks. and then if i skip the treat/bread/cornbread/pudding, etc i can be at the 1500 katie suggests. so thanks for letting me take a peek.
barb--i love that the woman is doing those pictures. how wonderful!
4loveof--you make me chuckle. thanks. glad to have your spunk on here.
amy--good job on the walk from church. i don't even buy the cookies anymore; i just tell the people that i can't have them. period.
good thing my girls are NOT scouts.
who said they want to do the princess marathon?? how cool! do you dress up and everything? in any case, a great goal to aim for, even if it's not this year.
and now i'm forgetting who's going hiking. i just wanted to say that it's awesome that you are seeking out other avenues to get fit. yay!
i know i missed ? in MD. take it easy. let your body heal thoroughly and then you'll be able to do EVERYTHING again.
kim could tell you that as she's making careful recovery from her surgery. hi you!
and holly, thanks for the pm.
welcome new ladies!
and now for LUNCH. smoothie cuz it's fast and we need to get to speech.0 -
4loveofkids ......if your able to attend the hike this weekend, good luck and I will be anxious to see pics!! I think that is so cool! And you are starting couch to 5K in one week?? I did that program in the spring of 2009, I LOVE that program, trying to get my husband on the program....But is so busy with coaching basketball right now, I am hoping in the spring...I have ran in a few 5K races, what an experience....Love it!! Good Luck, keep me posted on that too....
Amypry - I love to support the girl scout too and we get hit from other teacher's my husband works with, and of course if they order from us, in what ever our children are selling, feel kind of a obligation to order from them....but ahhhhhh I so hate having cookies in the house...lol
Elijah - YAY on 15 pounds!!
OH, and I am afraid I have many of you beat..lmao ..Talk about feeling old right about now....I am 36, mom's lol
oh my.....lol0 -

Stacey-I'm a little confused, by your post.....what woman is doing what pics? Did I miss something?0 -
Wildcat ~ Just have to put in a plug for TurboFire...dont' get me wrong, I love TurboJam, but TurboFire is so much more fun!!
Amy ~ We lived in SW OK in Altus, about 5 hours from there! LOL We were stationed there for the Air Force and hated every minute of it...waaaay to hot! I have a friend whose husband had his hip replaced at 33! My dad is getting both replaced and he's 55, one down one to go.
Bina ~ yes we are! We are going camping since it's memorial day weekend with 4 other families. I'm so excited!
Stacy ~ Hope you can find a way to keep on track! We're here for you girl!! Protein has really helped keep me full when I eat a lot for a snack, maybe try adding more in?
Just took a picture of my back, holy moly I've got awesome shoulders! Wish the rest of my body looked that tone ;-P0 -
Elijah~Way to go on the loss!
Katie~Checked out your pic and yep they look awesome.
Stacey~I am glad that you are feeling a bit better. :flowerforyou:
Amy~I am a little nervous myself to go raw to be completely honest but I am tired of the stomach issues that I have when I eat too much processed crap! My friend is big into it so I know that any questions that I have she can answer for me. I have even thought about going mostly raw but still having my chicken and turkey. I don't know though. It is kind of funny I have always had the potential of going this route since I was a young child.:laugh: Like you it grosses me out to touch meat. The worst for me is chicken but that is my fav meat to eat. :laugh: My parents would go nuts when I was younger because if I would even see a tinge of pink I would not eat no matter what meat or where we were at. You made me LOL on the comment about our hubbys being sole brothers.:laugh: Good luck with your moms group.
Barb~I hate it when I have sick babies. :frown: I think the worst was last year when chicken pox made it's rounds through the family. Everyone got it except the hubby. Talk about miserable. My baby was only 5 months old when he got it. At least now I don't have to worry about any of the getting it again.0 -
Stacey- ME on the Princess half marathon! I am aiming to be able to run the half but I might have to take it down to the family 5k. I am making my mom do it with me and she might not be able to do the whole 13 miles. But people dress up and there’s photo opps through out it. So if I do the 5k next year I will do the half marathon the next. I am such a disney freak ha!
todays been so nuts I had to chauffeur my injured hubby around to doctors apt all day and then he wanted a milk shake. Oh course I felt bad for him so I took him to get one and got a burger for myself. AH I so fell off the wagon! I hate when I do that!0 -
Hi! Is there room for one more?
I am a SHAM to 3 - my oldest is 3.5 yrs, my middle is 2 yrs and my youngest just turned 1 in Jan. I started on my unofficial journey to lose weight after I delivered my youngest. The day I went in to deliver him I weighed in at 252lbs - the heaviest I have ever been. Since then I have managed to lose nearly all my baby weight and am now weighing 176lbs. 165 is what I weighed before having kids, so I am almost there, although thanks to 3 pregnancies back to back my body just isn't the same! So I'd like to lose another 15lbs beyond that prekid weight......The family & I are heading to Jamaica in April for a week and I need to get bathing suit ready (eek!).0 -
Wowza a lot of reading today! As for who the oldest is in the group..I think it's me 40 on Sept. 8. I was more worried about turning 30 (I got my belly button pierced) than I am about turning 40. I do know that each decade that goes by it gets a little more difficult to take off the extra weight so that's why I'm pushing to do it now.
Princess marathon sounds like a lot of fun except for the running part..make a walking/hiking thing and that would work for me!
Elijah-15 pounds lost is fantastic! Have fun shopping!
The girls scout cookies have not arrived here yet which is good. If I don't have any all will be well I'll have the kids take them for part of their lunch!
Luckily Lucy is feeling better today so I was able to make to the gym. I bought a new workout outfit and shoes this weekend so they got broken in today!
I'll try to catch up more later, time to shower and get ready to head to Financial Peace tonight.0 -

Ellen-there's always room for more
Katie-Nice profile pic!! Awesome looking shoulders!!
KatieM-I hate chicken pox, I had them when I was younger, my hubby isn't sure if he had them or not, and so far, neither of my kids have had them...yikes!0 -
barb, i meant christi!! sorry for the confusion0
-
LoL Its ok Stacey....I was beginning to think I was missing something or I was coming down with Alzheimer's or something....Glad to know :laugh: 0
-
Um... there's a lot happening in this thread. I tried to stay away so I didn't look like a thread stalker, posting all the time, but now I can't catch up. :laugh:
No shoes today. FedEx is stupid and they scanned it in as "received" by the post office even though the post office hadn't actually received it yet. The postal lady explained it to me. And I'm super bummed. :sad: I might call in the morning and if the mail dude hasn't taken them out yet, maybe I'll just go pick them up.
Also, due to green bananas and a forgotten V8 that I had planned for, I was way under cals, so I had ice cream. And I feel so good about it. Just what I needed. Now let's hope I don't go on a sugar binge tomorrow -- sometimes when I satisfy a sugar craving, it backfires on me and I can't think about anything except sugar. I think it'll be ok. I hope.
Parenthood comes on in 10 minutes! Gotta watch! Later taters!0
