Thanks for all the positive thoughts ladies! Sorry I just laid it all out there. My husband hadn't come home yet and I needed to formulate my words. Thanks for being my sounding board! LOL
Cat ~ Wow! That sounds like an insane intense class! I'd love to take it! haha! Do you do a lot of other things besides just sprints and climbs and stuff?
Shoppie ~ 4lbs?! Amazing woman!! Congrats!
Today is a new day! Off to complete some workouts, clean the house, go to the library, have a playdate/dinner date with a friend tonight....gotta burn some calories..it's pizza! LOL I will only eat 1 piece...I will only eat 1 piece...I will only.... LOL0 -
Cat ~ Wow! That sounds like an insane intense class! I'd love to take it! haha! Do you do a lot of other things besides just sprints and climbs and stuff?
It was a pretty intense class..Just shy of 900 calories burnt, it was crzy!!!! .When I was making it up over the weekend, I didn't think it was so intense, but man the sweat was rolling off me last night....lol I do the regular, sprints,and jogs, I also throw in some standing and seated climbs, and around the worlds too..Split the class up and do boys vs girls, or half and half and have fun with sprints that way..... There is so much to do, and you can take one song and find a few different routines to do to that one song....There were 18 people in class last night, the more eyes, the more nervous I got before class....lol Warm up, seemed like ti took forever...lol But when the music got playing and I got into it, I seemed to settle in ok and enjoy myself....Helps when the class, hoots and hollers..Knowing their enjoying themselves as well...lol
My daughter's pre-k teacher was in my class last night and this morning she told me that the class was great! So that made me feel better..lol Now its going to be working on next week's class....I'm going back for class two, so I guess I liked it......lol0 -
Katie - I would send you some cyber will power to take with you tonight but I think mine is still in the fridge eating M&Ms from last night.
Praying for good results and that your doctor helps you get everything figured out and balanced. BTW, love the idea of just watching my pee to see if I'm drinking enough. I usually have very light pee so I guess I am getting enough for my body.
AJ - 130's is awesome, congrats!!!!
Swtchrypie - Yippee, awesome that your daughter rolled over, such a big milestone. Did you get pics or video of it? I always would forget in my moments of excitement. Healthy foods def make my body feel better but last night I saw first hand how strong sugar cravings are after a sugar fest. I just couldn't stop myself from hitting the M&Ms, I had way too many, blah!
Stacey - Hope you are getting better w/ each day. I bet your ready to feel 100% again. It's good to see you back on here.
Holly - Great workout plan! You are the gym queen, way to go!
Shoppie - WOW, you lost 4 pounds, WOW, that is awesome, great job!
Thanks for the kind works about my pic. It was hard to look at and realize that it's the "improved" version. LOL, I hope to get it more toned up soon but I'm glad it's better than it was. Just annoys me that it got so out of control. Ah well, I can't change the past but I can do better today.
Plan on doing W4D1 of C25K today. Wanted to go last night but it was raining and we had community group so I just couldn't make it work. Wish I could have b/c it would have kept me outta the m&ms. My hubs is driving me crazy, LOL. He ate all the veggie straws that I bought for the boys' lunch. I swear, I'm going to start putting labels on things that are off limits. Hahaha!0 -
Cat - I'm so glad your class went so well, sounds like a great time. I bet you will be comfortable up there in no time. WOW, that's a lot of burned calories, it's crazy how many calories cycling burns. You did awesome and should be very proud of what you accomplished! Way to go!!!!!0

Hello! I just saw this thread. I'm new here to mfp. My name is Simone and I have been a sahm since 2005. When I got pregnant with my soon to be 5 year old twins. I also was a sahm from 1994 until 1999 when my 2nd son turned 3. I love being home with my kiddos. My youngest is 18 months old.0
-
Cat~ AWESOME!!! I am so glad the class went well!!!!
Barb~ YIppie for no ear infection! I hope his cold gets better soon and the prunes work!
Shoppie~ Congrats on the loss!!!!!!!!
Amy~ No i didn't catch it on video, all those days I was watching her like a hawk with it and then she did it when I was in the other room, little booger!!!! Good luck with C25K today!!!! let me know how week 4 is!
Welcome mom2pne
Well my husband leaves today to go for training. So I am praying my son doesn't go crazy tonight when he realizes daddy is going to be gone a bit. Thankfully he isn't gone long.
My friend lent me a p90x video and I haven't had enough courage to start it. Haha, I am super scared and I keep thinking of things to do instead. SO I need to get off my bum and stop procrastinating! My goal for the day, do p90x.0 -
4loveofkids - I'm exactly the same, once I touch sugar I just can't stop and the cravings get worse and worse, I really don't think I can have it at all :frown:
swtchrypie - the first time my second rolled over I wasn't even sure it was hi as I had been out of the room and my eldest son was with him so I went all aggressive mummy and asked eldes if he had turned him over!! :blushing: It was only the next day when he rolled again that I knew it was for real. I'm still waiting for my little girl to smile, the very first milestone. She is 5 weeks today, hopefully it won't be much longer!
welcome mom2pne :drinker:
clcole - just under 900 cals? WOW!
Thanks for the congrats, I am very happy but keep getting sidetracked with thoughts of how far there still is to go - I will focus on mini targets, I will!! Oddly today I realised that of the weight I need to shift precisely half i.e. 17 lbs is baby weight, and the other half was what I was over before I got pregnant.0 -
Hubby offically left the states this morning, on a plane as I type. I have 3 sick kids now, my 3 year old was up several times last night from coughing so I am lacking sleep this morning, the baby is still coughing and threw up all over me & him last night before bed from coughing, my 1 year old is still fussy but on a up note has stopped whinning nonstop and pulling on his ears so I guess the antibiotics are working. On top of that while I was working out yesterday I guess I twisted my knee or something cause it's hurting bad this morning. I need to go grocery shopping there is nothing but junk left in the house but who wants to take 3 sick kids to Walmart especially on only about 3 hours of sleep. Why is it when hubby leaves for a deployment all the kids get sick? UGH
So all that being said I have no idea if I will even get in a workout today & I probably won't be eatting that great either. Maybe this week isn't going to go as I hoped. Oh well I will do my best and take it a day at a time.
Sorry I am such a downer this morning everyone. :ohwell:
Great to on all the weight losses and successes that you are having.0 -
Cat-WTG with the class!!!
Barb-Hooray for no ear infection! They scare the heck out of me because my brother's ear drum nearly burst from one a few years ago. I was always taking DD in if she even pulled her ear. :laugh:
Simone-Welcome!
Swtchrypie-Good luck with the p90x today! And hopefully your son won't be too upset tonight.
Shoppie-I had a hard time with min-targets too. I guess right now I'm mainly focusing on each new milestone (i.e: 170's, 160's, etc.) I do weigh myself everyday to make sure I'm staying on track. Terrible habit, but I can't help myself.
Christi- ((((((((hugs))))))))))) Being sick and having a deployment at the same time are a good reason to be down. I hope the boys feel better soon so you can get out and get the food you need to nourish yourself.
I did the Wii last night and was pretty suprised at how good I felt running for 20 minutes. I was expecting to be coughing my head off, but I only had to pause twice, briefly, for coughing fits. Today the sun is shining and we're getting up to almost 40, so I'm going to take the kids out for a walk with the double stroller after DS wakes up from his nap, and then tonight I have volleyball for two hours. Hopefully the kids will go to bed without any issues so I can get there on time. :happy:0 -
Hi everyone! I was on MFP before I got pregnant and had a lot of issues eating much of anything once I got pregnant, so I figured if I was actually able to eat and keep it down, then I wasn't going to worry about how many calories it had.
My son was born on January 17th and I had a lot of difficulty with my appetite again, like I did with the first half and last part of my pregnancy. I'm breastfeeding and loving it, and fortunately, I'm only about 5 pounds heavier than I was when this whole shabang started because of it, along with my initial lack of appetite. But I definitely need to tone up my belly and get back to eating healthily!0 -
Simone & Aerome - welcome!
Christi - Do you have someone that can come sit on your couch after the kids go to sleep? You could do your Walmart run and not have to worry about getting the kids out. I hope everyone is on the mend soon. Praying that your husband stays safe and is able to return soon.
Nicole - Great job running!! Have fun at volleyball tonight.
swtchrypie - which P90X video did you borrow? There are certain ones I love and some, not so much, LOL. I usually throw in a couple of P90X workouts each week but I don't use it faithfully. I'm sure I'd be a lot further along in this process if I did.
I'm being so lazy today. I need to get busy b/c it looks wild in here. To top it off my washer is acting ugly. I'm going to search for a place that can get out ASAP to look at it. It gets down to the last two minutes and then shows an error code and stops running. So annoying.
H2O - 3 down, started glass number 4.0 -
Seriously, I am a bad poster and not keeping up well!
I will try to be better about it.
TOM is suppose to be arriving this week so I AM NOT WEIGHING IN! Between us I did weigh yesterday and hadn't moved...so we shall see what happens after this week
I am to a point that I feel like a bum if I don't work out everyday! Tomorrow I have to work so that means I either have to get up an hr early to do it or have an evening workout. I don't like working out at night, but I don't like getting up early either! lol We will see who wins that battle!0 -
Shoppie~ Don't you love baby weight! I agree with mini goals, I think its great to always have something you can obtain right infront of you.
Christi~ I am sorry about the boys getting sick. Its always harder the first week let alone when someones not feeling well. I'm glad you said you have a great support system.
Welcome aerobe!!
Amy~ The p90x I did today was the ab ripper x. Lets just say um yeah. ouch. I couldn't do it all, I have a previous back injury that was not feeling too hot. But I am going to keep at it. Hopefully in a few months I can do it fully. BUT i did try right! Great job on the water and have fun with the laundry, that is what I am doing today as well.
Randi~ Good luck with the workout tomorrow, let us know who wins. I think night would win with me. there are some mornings it takes everything I have to roll out of bed.
i might be mia for a bit will is going to take the laptop with him and my desktop stinks….but i will be back!0 -
For those of you not on my friends list, I just posted this-
I borrowed a shirt tonight..from my 15 yr. old daughter and it fits..it's a Jr.s medium..I know not all of them will fit me but it's nice that one does. OH, and my size 8 pants and skirt..too big, I even need a belt with my one pair of 6's..feels nice after a day of not killing myself at the gym!0 -
Wild-thanks for the idea, I might try that next.
Shoppie-He did get some strawberries, a grape, and some melon. Congrats on the 4lb lost!!
Swtch-Thanks, he seems to be doing better both cold wise and constipation. He went three times today, but it was still a little hard for him to go :frown: Hopefully tomorrow will be better for him.
PNC-Yikes! I know I was talking to a few people over the weekend, and they were all saying don’t mess around with ear infections, whether you think they have it or not, better to get it checked by the dr then not.
Simone & Aerome - Welcome to the group!0 -
Hi, everyone. I have the busiest day today--ripping and running from one thing to the next! Busy tomorrow in the morning as well. I have to find 12 hours of time to run my nutrition IV, and I can't! I'm going to have to break the time up.
I've been doing well on eating, and not well at all in exercising.
To top it off, I need to apply for these teaching jobs online, and get my information for my taxes ASAP. So much for the leisurely stay-at-home-life. :laugh:0 -
bluerose - how is your little one's tummy?
holly - nice going with the shirt!
victorious - not sure who thinks life at home is leisurely unless they haven't ever been at home looking after children
I'm a bit torn about our dinner tonight, have just entered it all and it puts me a tiny bit over target (only about 30 cals) and is really yummy but the vast majority of the cals (and fat!) are in chorizo so I'm wondering whether to not eat that part or only half of it or something?
I'm having a really nice day, both small ones behaving well which is really lovely - A didn't cry at all during playgroup so I was able to spend more time with B and he always really flourishes when I can 0 -
shoppie-Enjoy your dinner it isn't over by that much and sometimes you'll find that when you go over even by a few hundred calories you will actually lose more the next day or so. It keeps your body guessing and not getting totally used to the deficit.
victorious-I agree there really are no leisurely days at home there is always something to do that needs to get done or some place to go.
Barb-sorry your little guy is having problems like that. I hope it gets better for him soon.
I have done 2 days of Jillian Michaels Shred in addition to my regular gym routine (which I am increasing weights in right now). Yesterday I was groggy all day with a sore throat, I still went to the gym but didn't go Jillian last night. I thought it wouldn't be the end of the world to not do it as my arms were sore from lifting. Surely I could make it up the next day..right? WRONG! Julia my youngest decided to wake up at 3:00 am this morning, I brought her to bed where she tossed, turned, flopped and played with my nose for an hour and half before I game up and brought her downstairs. My husband got up around 5-5:30 and I went back to bed. Julia is still up and active. All this because she fell asleep for an hour while picking up my oldest from school. UGH!
On the upside it's supposed to be 68 and sunny here today so we will totally get outside either to the park or the zoo for a few hours! Maybe the sunshine and warmth will make me feel better..
Holly0 -
Welcome aerome!
Holly-Woohoo!! It always feels good when you shrink out of a bigger size! Sorry about your little one. My DD usually tries to fall asleep on the couch around 4pm and I'm in there shaking and tickling her to keep her awake so she will go to bed at 6:30pm! :laugh:
Shoppie-Glad you had a good playgroup! I would eat the chorizo since it's not putting you over by that many calories. I think we all have days where we're over, but as long as they don't outweigh the days we've met, or are under, we're fine.
I went to volleyball last night and had a great time. There were so many of us we had to form three teams and rotate in and out. I hate when that happens because then I'm not exercising for the whole two hours, but it's nice that so many people are interested in playing. My upper abdominals are so sore today and I think it's from doing jacknives (SP?) on the Wii Fit two nights ago. They started bothering me a little during our walk yesterday afternoon, but this morning I couldn't even sit right up in bed! We finally sent Inception back to Netflix, so I should be getting Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism tomorrow. Has anyone done Ripped in 30? It sounds better than 30DS, but it's not available on Netflix yet so I'd have to buy it.0 -
Welcome Simone! That is when I became a stay at home mom too My oldest will be 5 in July!
Swtchrypie ~ I'm scared of P90x too! LOL
Christie ~ When it rains it pours Soo so sorry! It seems like anything that can go wrong during deployments, will.
Welcoem Aerome!
Randi ~ Just check in when you can! You've probably deleted me from your board by now ;-P I just can't keep up!
Holly ~ How stinkin exciting!!! Hope you get to get outdoors today!
Shoppie ~ Being a little over isn't going to hurt you, And I wouldn't worry about being over in fat for one day either. My last two days I have been way over in fat LOL But if you want to make yourself feel better, just leave a bite or two on the plate
Another day of rain It's supposed to be better tomorrow, through the weekend, so that's good. I'm running in a 5k tomorrow and another one on Saturday! I don't want rain! LOL 0 -
welcome simone!
swtchry--p90x is so doable! you may have to work up to it, but you will get there. i remember when the first time i did abripperx--hehehe. i did about 1/4 of each of the exercises and dubbed it abripper.25x. plyo and core and yoga (cuz that one's 90 min) are REALLY hard, imho, so start out with something else. and keep pressing play, just like tony says.
btw, there are LOTS of beachbody coaches up on these boards, so join in a thread or ask your q's. you're sure to get support and encouragement!
haven't caught up on rdg. but think about you girls all the time!
got in a workout this am--first one in a week. felt good to move and i lasted the 4 miles.
also, back down those 2 pounds--which must have been water/waste. whatever. i feel better about myself and feel like those 140s are still w/in reach!
altogether, i'm feeling better. sinus infexn and eye infexn still not gone, but definitely improved. so thanks for your get well wishes. must've worked.
better skedaddle. have a great day everyone!0 -
That's great Stacey!
Blahhh. I took the kids outside today, but no hardcore walk because the wind was blowing too much and that bothers my ears. I ran around with them for about an hour though. Then DH suggested we order out for dinner, so DD asked for McDonalds. We don't eat out very often and we obliged. I'll never eat another one. I feel so lethargic and thirsty and just plain awful. I ran for 30 minutes and did a 30 minute routine with the Wii to help make up for some of it. It's so funny because before we had kids we ate at McD's quite a bit and I just didn't enjoy it tonight. I'm considering that good news.
I hope you all have a good night!0 -
Ugh, I feel the same way if I eat McDs. I feel ya. Now I just don't eat there...I really shouldn't let the kids either...but, I give in every once and a while too.
Getting bloodwork done in the morning, have a yummy breakfast, then I am running in a St Patty's day 5k! And yes, I am pushing my boys in the stroller...I'm going to see if I can do it in under 32. I can easily do that not pushing the stroller... LOL0 -
FUNNY--things kids say
Mommy's exercising.
DD says: Why do your legs shake?
Mommy: Well, I'm moving so the fat and the muscle move too.
DD (matter of factly): My legs don't shake when I move.
Conversation over.0 -
Yay for sahm thread! Hi everyone my names Danyelle, I've been using mfp since Jan. I love this site! So far I've lost 27lbs. Anyways I have 2 wonderful kids my boy just turned 4 and my baby girl is 10 weeks! Lately I've been slacking with working out, I honestly gave no energy what so ever. I thought as you lose weight and reat healthier you get more energy but not for me. But I'm keeping my head up and hopefully the rest falls off lol. Good luck to everyone and their journeys!0
-
awww thanks all for the warm welcome and the compliments :blushing: Its been a busy week and its my first time getting back to this thread. Had a hellish visit to the allergist with my little guy today. Well, i shouldnt say hellish because it could have been much worse, but still not fun at all.. and long! YAWN! He's still allergic to peanuts, tree nuts and eggs, so life goes on as usual 'round here :ohwell:
i've had 3 rest days in a row now because i really overdid it on my running this weekend. If i weren't so tired this evening i could have snuck in a bit of time on the treadmill but the house was chaotic and the little guy was still having a tough day, so needless to say, i am sitting on the couch under a pile of blankets, enjoying my "alone time" at midnight, on MFP and watching Biggest Loser lol
ok moms, 615 comes all too soon! Good night!0 -
Good luck Katie!!
LOL Stacey! My DD cracks up at my Mii when I measure myself because of how she bloats up.
Welcome Danyelle!
adk-I love the Biggest Loser!!0 -
Happy Thursday mom's...........Been a crzy past few days, I did get some great feed back on my spin clas from a few people that took my class on Monday night.....Well, they told the head trainer and she pulled me into her office yesterday morning to share with me....She was really excited !..That made me feel good....But then............ to wake up this morning feeling like a cold is coming on....NOOOOO!! I don't have any time to get sick esp this weekend, this is the big YMCA fundraiser, cocktail attire at the Hyatt here in town..Lots of months of prep'ing for this,,, I just can't get sick....!!
So, its lots of OJ and Vit C tablets and maybe a nap here to catch up on some sleep that I haven't been getting lately. And it won't hurt my feeling to be couch bound in front of the TV today...I am a HUGE, HUGE college basketball fan played college basketball myself, and to me, this time fo the month is the BEST time of the month....LOVE it!! Basketball all day today, tomorrow and over the weekend...
Have a great day mom's......0 -
Stacey - That is hilarious, darn honesty, hahahaha.
Katie - Good luck!! Hope you have a wonderful run. I tried doing a 5k while pushing my oldest once, LOL, it didn't go so well but, there were some major hills and I just couldn't hang. :sad: That was also when I was trying to run after only training for a month, I was def a mess that day.
ADK - Sometimes we need to just cuddle up and take some time for ourselves, you can always workout today. Hope your little man feels better today. Does he have severe allergies? Our old church had a boy with a milk allergy and if he was even near another toddler that had recently consumed milk he would break out into hives. It was so scary. I think a milk allergy would be the hardest, he couldn't be around other babies/toddlers w/o breaking out into hives.
Welcome Danyelle!
Swtchrypie - Did you start week 4 yet? I love it, lots more jogging and it was easier for me with longer jog times and less stopping and starting. I felt really good when I got done, can't wait for day 2 tonight!
I've never been a McD fan, always preferred Wendy's or Chick-fil-a but we do go rarely for Noah. Usually I just eat before hand or order something small. I feel like my mouth is coated in grease after eating there. Now, if Wendy's would only put indoor playgrounds in then I wouldn't have to ever enter McDs again. :bigsmile:
Busy day today so I probably won't be back until tonight. Happy St. Patrick's Day!! My Mama is making corn beef and cabage for dinner, yummo! Good thing it's a C25K night.0 -
Cat - Oh no, hope you are feeling better after resting today. Congrats on the great compliments, that had to feel great. Wish we lived near eachother so I could spin with ya. Enjoy your day of basketball, I swear that's the one sport that I just don't get. I've tried to learn the rules, etc. and it just doesn't click for me. I always pick my MMadness teams off of random things like if I like the town/state or their school colors, etc. LOL, the guys I use to work with would get pissed b/c I would always win at least one round, hahahaha.0
