MM - that sucks that your Wii doesn't work! I hope they ship the piece fast! Good luck getting back to the push-ups. I'm slacking there right now (again), but I'm working on getting back on. Just did 42 the other day! Woo! Better than where I started!

Supermom - how's the situp challenge going? I saw you started that! Good for you! My husband is doing it right now, but I can't bring myself to do it yet. My abs have been so tore apart by the kids that I need some "warmup" time. LOL

Lyn - I know! I felt horrible about my Christmas gifts also, but it just really irritates me when people specifically ASK what you want & get you the polar opposite! Silliness. Did you end up with the F4? How do you like that one? I'm looking at mildly "cheaper" options fo HRM right now.

Loki - How's the gym search going?

Good morning to everyone else! I'm sure we'll touch base as everyone checks in! Happy (?) Monday! :flowerforyou:

Hi, mind if I join you? 3babybeans and my cousin led me to MFP (love this site thus far!). I've got 3 little guys...Parker (4), Garrett (a newly turned 3 yr old), and Ryder (7 months). A tad bit sleepy this morning (the little guy still wakes up 2-3x a night and last night was party time w/ him:yawn: ).

3babybeans

Good morning, my dear! You're more than welcome to join us! Sorry you were up with little guy so much last night. :frown:

I dont know if its because I've been depressed or my thyroid bein off but I have been wantin to eat everything in site..It's bad its like I'm not gettin enough of something but I know I am..My body right now I think is on attack mode or something strange..All I know is I feel like I'm shaking inside at times and extermely tired:yawn: Who knows, I have a dr appt friday maybe she will figure out what is wrong with me..I'm off to lay back down to try n get some sleep and I'm not feeling to good n I have a headache..So back to bed I go...:yawn: :frown: :sick:

Dana, I hope your son & you feel better soon! I'm not a dr. by any means, but it nearly sounds like you might have low iron or something like that. Hopefully the dr. will get you all straightened out! Love the new pic!

Good morning all! I'm trying to be chipper but I didn't get enough sleep. I kept hearing things. I am still wiped out from bed rest and all that. I had no idea it would take me this long to recover!
Supermom, I am starting the sit up challenge today. Is there a thread started for that? I am also getting back to push ups today too.
Dana, I hope you get better soon and your son does too. I am actually feeling a lot like you. I eat and eat but nothing seems to satisfy, even when I am over full. I have been depressed and really tired. I am assuming my problem is all hormone related. I hope the dr can get things figured out for you. I know I hate feeling this way. Hang in there!

I'm not sure what else I am going to get done today besides sit ups and push ups. I want to get back into the swing of things but I'm so lazy and tired right now. I was counting on that wii to get me back into it. :grumble: Alex kept saying he wanted to bowl last night (on the wii). Bummer. I need to clean house and do laundry so that may be all the exercise I get today. I will paint on Alex's bed too. I will also get back to logging foods (boy I don't like doing that anymore). So basically my new year starts today.
Happy Monday to you all!
MM

Good morning, MM! I'm sorry you're still have a rough time. Give yourself time to recover from everything, including the emotional aspect of things. *hugs* You should post pics of Alex's bed! I'd love to see the work in progress!

mechanicmom

I will try to get some taken this afternoon when I pull it out to work on it! :happy:

YAY! I just saw you post on the 200 situp challenge...the pausing at the top of the crunch is what is keeping me from doing it. I can't hold it for more than 1.5-2 seconds. I'm warming up to it, but can't do it just yet. As opposed to the push up challenge, I want to do this one in proper form! LOL

Good Morning Mommies,

I know I have posted once or twice before but haven't been a regular. That is one of my goals this year is to keep up with my postings cause I know that the support helps. The kids went back to school today:happy: We have a very small house so to have all 6 of them home and not always able to go outside and play made for a very crazy christmas break. I think they were all looking forward to going back to school also. I was surprised that it wasn't a late start we still have alot of ice on the gravel roads and when I went to drop them off the parking lot and sidewalks were ice also. I am letting Elizabeth (2 yrs 10mths) watch a movie and then I will be kicking her off the tv so I can do my walk away the pounds. Breakfast was fat free cappuccino while milking the cows and then just had a bowl of multi grain cheerios need to get some fruit in also. Hope everyone has a great day.

Good morning, Lisa! I always remember you as the lady with lots of kids & cows. :laugh: I hope you're able to post more often, too! Nice hearing from you & good luck getting in the workout with the little one under foot!:flowerforyou:

Parker headed back to preschool this morning (woohoo!) and the little guy took a nap...so DS#2 and I did 30 minutes of pilates together Once the kiddos are in bed tonight I'm planning on getting in 40 minutes of a cardio dvd. Have a great day everyone!

3babybeans

Yay for Parker being back to school! I hope what my kids have right now isn't in the "system" yet. It's green & comes with a nice cough. Yuck. :sick:

Hey, Jules! Glad you came over! My favorite at-home workout (since that's the only kind I do) is Turbo Jam. Lyn does it too (Drevensmom) & we both LOVE it! It really helps battle the winter blahs, I think.

Hi all. I am a Stay at home mom - and for the million time this is my "start" day. I have a lot to loose and feel very overwhelmed most of the time when I think about it. So I need support.... any suggestions or just a plain good kick in the butt would help :-)

I dont think I have ever posted on the Stay at home moms thread. But I am one so maybe I will start. I got to where I was posting on so many I forgot which challenges I had joined LOL. Anyways I have 3 kids. 10 and 8 year old boys and a 17 mth old girl. I love staying home with them and now I have the time to do everything that I want to do. ALthough I stay really busy. I go to the gym MOnday through Friday at 8 am and do a class for an hour. Then of course I stay busy with Cub scouts and basketball right now. Ive been thinking of doing Karate soon. My boys want to do it and I might do it with them if I dont look to funny.

Ok I just finished my 1 mile walk away the pounds dvd and I also did 50 sit ups (with my ab roller) and I started with my weights and then hubbys walked in the door and says he wants to run some errands in town so I now need to shower and get ready, sounds like Subway will be my lunch today.

I married into the "Cubs fan" -- but never had a team so might as well be them!! LOL

I guess you're okay then. I started out "married to a Tigers fan" but they made it to the 06 World Series when I was about to pop pregnant with my second & I was HOOKED. Even spent my birthday up at Comerica watching them beat the White Sox this year. I could go on & on about the 08 season, but I'll spare all of you. LOL

Good job! Enjoy that subway! Yummy!
