Welcome DaniellaAnn and Jackobean29!!! Glad you've chosen to get healthy!!
allenhm- I'm glad you've finally figured out it wasnt you it was your feet! Now you can push farther than ever! Hope things start looking up fincancially and hubby can find another job.
lenece- Way to go on cleaning! I wish my LO let me have time to clean lol. Sorry I dont know any websites with printable exercises, only ones with videos.
ok once again Ayden is waking up before I have time to post about my day.. ugh.. be back later0 -
quick hey-- just so I don't lose the link--
gotta run-- later!0 -
My first day keeping track of the my calories and it works. I mean I put in what I will be eating for dinner and now I know what kind of snacking I can do. I put in for dinner to have a glass of my favorite beverage "pepsi". I still ahve 200 for the rest of the night. I although not sure I did my dinner right. We are trying to new T.G.I. F chicken fajitas for dinner and it is in strips and not sure what that means. Does that include shell and peppers and chicken?? confused on that part. I did good today I think. I had a good lunch and it tasted great about 350 in calories!!! Hope this high on losing weight will last.
Hi to all the newbies like me!!! Good luck and hope we can motivate ourselves to losing weight.:flowerforyou:0 -

Welcome fitchick!
Ok Ok, Ayden just went to sleep so I can finally write lol. So Ayden for the past couple of nights has fallen asleep around 10 and then woken up again around 11 to eat a lot of food and then he falls back asleep for 3-4 hours, then the rest of the night hes up about every 2 1/2 hours, so its been nice to get longer stretches of sleep. Hes awake a bit more during the day but he does take naps often, they're just not lasting as long. Hes growing SO fast!!
I've gotten my pushup work out in today and I re-did my situp initial test since I was doing them wrong, but I'm still confused about how high I'm supposed to go up, ugh I dunno. I'm going to do my first work out for that tonight so it stays on track with the push up work outs. I still need to do some strength training but I think I'm going to wait for Ayden to wake back up, feed him, and then use him as a weight/have play time with him. Then he'll prob fall asleep for a bit again, then I plan on napping, and when he wakes back up again, feed him and then give him a bath and then put him in his Ohio State onesie for the Fiesta Bowl tonight! Then hopefully he'll fall asleep again or hubby will be home to take him so I can cook sloppy joes for the game tonight. Then during tduring each commercial break of the game I plan on doing either, lunges, squats, calf raises, sit ups, crunches, leg lifts, or w/e else I can think of lol
I've been SO tempted to weigh myself today!! but I'm trying to wait for tomorrow when I weigh in for the biggest loser. Well, I'm going to go eat my afternoon snack and then maybe get a 15-20min power nap if Ayden stays asleep, X fingers crossed X
oh yea and GO BUCKEYES!!! lol even though I live in Texas my dads from Ohio and all my fam is up there0 -
Wowzers...okay here is my best attempt at catching up. If I miss someone I apologize.
Welcome to the Newbies-gottaluvboys, Amanda, MrsBuzz, Tanya, Connie, mommabuzz, daniella, Jackobean and fitchick.
Sorry to all of you that have sick kids right now. I totally understand, DD is cutting teeth and has a cold so she is super stuffy and not sleeping well. We've raised her matteress a little so she's sleeping on an incline but it doesn't help much. Nap was in her car seat, it worked
Supermom-good for you for joining the challenges. My hubby and I are starting the 100 push up challenge today. I'm not sure I'm ready :noway: I'm sorry your little one still isn't sleeping well. It does get better for a while and then they get mobile and moving is WAY more important than sleeping.
Dana-sorry you aren't feeling well. My son's name is Drevan (duh hence the screen name)...can I ask how you came up with that name? I know of 2 other Draven's, one in my son's school and a friend of a friend of a friend etc etc. By the way you are not nutz about cleaning...I'm not a neat freak by any means but my house must be in order. Everything has it's place and if its outta place aaaahhhhh FIX IT!!!
Sara-baseball has never been my thing....doesn't hold my interest. Football however WAHOO!!! and I cheer for the losingest (is that a word??) team ever....the Raiders!! I agree with you about babies...LOVE babies until they turn 3 and then look out. My son didn't do terrible 2s but he certainly had the terrible 3s and oddly enough hasn't grown out of them 3 years later UGH
MM-I hope you are giving yourself time to heal. I'm sure that getting back to your normal routine will help you feel better but dont over do it. I too would like to see pics of Alexs bed
Amanda-What part of ID are you in? We woke up to about 2 inches and it's continued to snow all day. Next time I shovel I'm wearing my HRM so I know how many calories I burn.
Lisa-Welcome Back!
MrsBuzz and Tanya-Here's your kick in the butt!!! Motivation has to come from within. Find the reasons you want to workout and eat healthy and then DO IT! Whether its superficial like wanting to wear skinny jeans or a bikini or what have you or if its health related, figure out what your motivator is and get moving.
MrsBuzz-Like 3BB said Turbo Jam is amazing. I love the workouts, they are fun and "dance" like and the time goes by quickly. Look on Amazon or craigslist if you are worried about cost, but if you want to buy in a set, get them thru Beachbody.com
allenhm-Welcome back. When my son learned to crawl he started with an army crawl (all arms no legs). When he finally figured out how to use his knees, he would crawl for a minute or two and then fall to his tummy and army crawl again because it was much quicker. As your son figures out walking he will do it more. Kids use the fastest way they know and for him right now it's crawling.
I did it!!! I made it through everyone. Now I have to go shovel more snow.0 -
Okay here's the bed pictures. Thomas is the foot board:
Here is the bed base (standing up on end). There will be three drawers on each side:
And on each drawer will be a wheel with a black knob for him to pull them open:
And the headboard will basically be half of the cab. Well, this picture is actually a side rail.I still have to paint this and put a yellow "1" on it, but it gives you an idea. There will be a shelf (roof) on the top of the cab.
It's been a lot of fun to paint. My DH enjoyed cutting the pieces and will enjoy putting it together. It will be big and probably heavy. I still have quite a bit of work to do, but I really hope we can get it done in February!

ok, well its been day 1 and I am already starting to think about giving up. My awesome hubby is so great, he's like don't give up honey you have tomorrow. I just want to go eat everything and anything. I am trying to be strong, but who knows. I am hoping I can stick it out and be strong!!! I just need to vent!! thanks0
-
Mrsbuzz, try chewing cinnamon gum when you get a craving I read somewhere its supposed to suppress appetite and it works for me,
MM- That bed is AMAZING! Good Job!
Ok so My dad me n hubby are all sittin around watchin the fiesta bowl and eating dinner. Hubby was feeding Ayden while I was eating and when I got done I took him and fed him so hubby could eat. Then Ayden was done eating, I burped him and then he was content to sit in my lap and watch the football gane. All the sudden I feel something warm through my pants... yep I'm sure you guessed it, poo was leaking all over my pant leg and even all the way down it to the couch. Unbelievable!! Hes never had a blowout this bad. I guess since his growth spurt is over and my breasts are producing more and so hes eating more his poop is going to be way bigger now, ugh it was a mess but quite funny lol
Well I hope ya'lls night is going better than mine :bigsmile:0 -

In the end, is all up to you. But think about this: Next Christmas you could be where you want to be. You could take those Christmas pictures with pride, and buy some new sexy lingere!
OR you could be exactly where you are now, still unhappy with your weight. Choose to be healthy. :flowerforyou: All the wonderful, sucessful women on this site are MUCH happier being thinner than they were eatting poorly.
Some ideas to combat craving anything and everything:
Chew Big Red or similar gum
Brush your teeth
Drink water! {Do this anyway}
Eat a pickle
Have several small meals instead of a few big ones - then you can aways look forward to eating!
Log the calories BEFORE you eat them. See if you still want it as badly.
Calculate how much you COULD loose in 5 weeks if you ate right {use that nifty MFP daily log button}
Visualize your body being healthier. This one in particular works for me. Its like they do with cancer patients - they ask them to visualize the cancer cells disappearing and their body healing. It helps the process. Think about whats REALLY going on in your body when you eat poorly as opposed to when you eat well and exercise!
Just a few thoughts. I really want you to make it. :drinker: :bigsmile:0 -
Some ideas to combat craving anything and everything:
Chew Big Red or similar gum

Those two work wonderfully for me!!
Ok well ladies, I'm off to bed, Ayden did the same routine hes been doing, asleep at 10, awake a bit later eat a lot, then off to bed by 11!! Yay!! I hope this habit sticks around as well as the sleeping 4 hours first then 3ish then 2 1/2, its made such a difference to get just a bit more sleep!!0 -

Ahhh-- the breast milk blowouts-- they're classic, supermom-- get used to them. Blechhh. You're pretty much stuck with them until you start him on some cereal.0 -
Good morning everyone. I need to rant, so pardon me for a minute.
I think I may understand why some women choose careers. At least they get rewarded and acknowledged for their efforts. Let me explain.
My husband is about to finish his last semester for his Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering. During this time, although he is a full-time Dad and has a small business in the summer, our main, steady income comes from me working. But to work from home and raise a family, I get up at 3 a.m. six days a week and work until kids get up and I get them out the door. Then I try and find a couple more hours throughout the day to work in between errands, housework, and volunteering at the school. My day usually ends at about 10:30-11 o'clock at night. I haven't minded supporting my husband's efforts at all because I'm excited for him (Did I mention that he only went back to school at 29).
Here is my rant. He wants to go back to school for his Masters AND PhD. :mad: Seriously? I mean, I think alot of my weight gain has occurred because of lack of sleep and stress. He said he would work part-time, go to school. When will he have time for the family? Last semester, he was the most unreliable person around because he was so bogged down with school.
On Sunday night, I voiced my concern about him going back to school any time soon and basically begged him to just work full time for awhile so that I can recharge. To him, I am being unsupportive of his dreams. He says to me, "I'm not unsupportive of your dreams and goals". I thought maybe he was referring to the fact that I take an hour a day when my family is otherwise occupied in school and go to the gym, so I asked him what my dreams and goals are. He says to me "you know, like your job". Are you for real? The job I do so that we have food on the table, a house over our head? The job I do at 3 a.m. in the morning so that it does not take away time from my family and then push myself through the rest of my day? Needless to say, I called him some not nice names and just started bawling. I told him that if he could go to school at 3 o'clock in the morning and it wouldn't take away any time from the family or his full-time job (he doesn't acknowledge that being a SAHM is actually my full-time job), then I'd be fine with it.
Anyway, I haven't really been able to talk to him since, I am so hurt and angry. He is really is a wonderful man, but :explode: :explode: :explode: :explode: It doesn't help that yesterday was the five year anniversary of my wonderful father's death, a man that would take my mom flowers almost every week and coffee every day while she worked at H&R Block because he appreciated how hard she was working for them. I guess I didn't marry my Dad.
Anyway, thank you for listening. Been holding it in for two days, but when the feeling was there this morning, I decided I would use your guys to let it out and hopefully get past it. Have a great day!0 -
Now for something completely different:
Good morning everyone.
Amanda, I looked up some stuff about Rett Syndrome. I can only imagine how difficult is must be to have a child with limitations when you no doubt see the constant potential and inspiration inside them. Your child is very fortunate to have a mother who stays at home to do home schooling to give all three of them the special time and attention they need.
Daniella, glutten for punishment? Just kidding. Your own and someone else's kids? Wow. You work more than a career woman from 9 a.m. to 9:30 p.m., and that's not including when the other kids go home. Hopefully when the weather is better you can get everyone outside.
Supermom, here's hoping Ayden was peacefully sleeping for you last night and giving you a chance to catch up (do we ever really catch up) on some much needed rest.
MM- Thinking about you and hoping you're doing okay.
Good morning 3babybeans. Hope your morning started off well.
Good morning to all I have missed. And welcome to all the newbies. Great to have support and encouragement.
I hope everyone has a great day. Back to the grind of work until the first pitter-patter of feet. :flowerforyou:0 -
iftcheiaf - I have BEEN there. My husband & I went around & around & around for a good couple years about going to grad school after he finished his bachelor's degree. His final semester, I finally talked him out of it. I seriously just couldn't handle another 3+ years of having a husband/father non-existant. The last semester, he didn't see the kids Mon-Thur for pete's sake! I so understand. *hugs* I hope your husband sees your side of things quickly. It is so difficult, and I didn't even work at all! I couldn't imagine what you're going through!
Supermom - Yum! Poop blow outs! Zeke had those until he was nearly 2. Didn't met a diaper he didn't abuse.
Allenhm - Good advice! Glad to see you back! What are you doing working from home? I hope dh finds a job very soon!
Mrsbuzz - Hang in there! It was just one day. It might not click overnight for you, but you can do this! You have a great support network on here if you ever fall backwards. I hope to see you posting again today!
MM - That bed ROCKS! You are very talented! Can't wait to see it put together!
Hello, Marla! :flowerforyou:
Lyn - WTG keeping up with everyone! The only way I managed yesterday was posting as they posted. LOL
Hope to see everyone back this morning!0 -

Allenhm...wonderful advice-you rock!
Mrsbuzz...we can do this together. I'm just starting off too. This board seems great and the motivation is awesome
Hope everyone has a great day!!!!0 -
Hi everyone!! Well my son is back in school, so now its just me and my lil guy who is 2. I am thinking about working out today. I am still struggling with my food for the day. I already have my dinner in and it's a lot of calories for dinner. Then as I was ready some messages today, I thought about my lunch time and how I was trying to eat to much. I can eat half at a earlier time then the rest later and make my calories go further. So I am so thankful for you all and all your tips. I don't have to do this alone and I praise God for this site!!
Thanks all!!!! xoxoxoxo:flowerforyou:0 -
Hey everyone, and especially to all the new joiners on our little thread.
I was busy yesterday, and I've been dealing with the worst case of sore boobs for the past week (I know, I know, TMI) which has left me with paranoia about the P (and I don't mean period) word. And then this morning, I had some debilitating nausea that only lasted an hour. So I don't know. I've been trying to find a bigger house to buy than the one we were dead set on, because it only had 700 square feet. Not enough for 2 adults AND 2 kiddies. Might have found one yesterday, so keep your fingers crossed.
I don't have time right now to respond to everybody (you guys went crazy yesterday!!!! :bigsmile: ) but I'll try sometime soon. All I can remember from what I read is the CUTE Thomas the tank engine bed. Did you paint that yourself, MM?
Have a good day ladies!0 -
Good morning!
I pray for all the sick babies! That is so hard to deal with! I pray for strength and grace for the mommies to get through it!
Thanks for the comments on the bed! I will post pictures when I am done.
I haven't had time to read all the posts, but I hope everyone is well, and well vented, and on the way up!
I am sore today! Yipee! Not really sore but sore I don't know why the back of my thighs are sore. Hmm. Today will either be a walk or Shred level 1. Depends on the weather.
I need to get us breakfast, so talk to you all later!
MM0 -
Okay, so I am a little discouraged!! I tried to workout today to Denise Austin's bootcamp, so not ready for that yet. It really shows you how out of shape you are. I couldn't even finish the 20min workout. Anyone have any suggestions on what to do other then walking to get my muscles stronger so I can eventually do the bigger workouts.0

Hello Everyone.
My name is Cyndi.
I am a stay at home mom, and fairly new to MFP.
I have a 2 year old little girl, and a would be 7 Month Old Baby Boy who passed away a few months ago.
I hope to get to know you ladies better soon!0 -
AAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!!
I am so frustrated. Dummy me thought that walking around not talking to your husband was a bad thing, so I explain to him why I was so hurt. His next comment was "so what are you hurt about?". When I was a kid, this poem went through my mind alot. Sucks that I'm thinking of it now as an adult.
I'm Nobody! Who are you?
Are you-Nobody-too?
Then there's a pair of us!
Dont tell! they'd banish us-you know!
How dreary-to be-Somebody!
How public-like a Frog-
To tell your name-the livelong June
To an admiring Bog!

Sorry guys. Just didn't know where else to go.0 -
Hi Baysmom!! I am new here to. This is my second day here and I love it. There is a lot of support and great tips to get you going. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
Sorry to hear about the lose of your little one.
iftcheiaf- sorry to hear your day is going bad.!!! I hope things work out fo u!!!:flowerforyou:0 -
Good Morning Mommies,
Welcome Baysmom, this is a wonderful site and there is a lot of support here:flowerforyou: Sorry to hear about the lose of your son.
mrsbuzz--I have been doing Walk Away The Pounds, I don't feel like it is just walking cause she adds some stretchy bands to it and other movements then just walking. Just and idea.
mm--I love that Thomas bed, I have a few boys that would love it also:happy:
iftcheiaf-- sorry to hear about the arguement between you and your husband, I do pray for you that it will be resolved sooner than later.
Not remember what else I read but I hope all of you mommies that were up during the night with sick babies or even just up feeding babies I hope you can get some rest during the day today. HUGS to all.
I had a good first day and now I am waiting for Elizabeth to finish watching her movie so I can get my workout in, so I suppose while she is watching that I will have breakfast. I had my ff cappuccino and a banana while milking the cows this morning so now I need to get something else. Hope everyone has a great day:flowerforyou:
Lisa:drinker: (morning cup of coffee)0 -
Sorry I am posting like a mad house. I am addicted I guess!! I was wondering how to add my cardio time in with a dvd, any ideas???0
-
oh man I've got to catch up again....
Marla- Thanks so much for the info lol ugh I'm so not looking forward to more blowouts, yuck :sick: :sad: :sick:
iftcheiaf- Sorry about hubby, hope things get better. My hubby right now works full time and when he complains about not having enough money and I tell him to stop eating out for lunch and stop buying little crap for his motorcycle he just says "Well I work, I should be able to eat out" ugh it ticks me off that he has this mindset that he deserves a little extra play money because hes the one earning it when I'm at home with Ayden all day and as of Jan 14 will be starting online classes too. Ugh, it makes me want to get a part time job in the evenings when my mom can watch Ayden so that I can have a little money for myself to maybe get my nails or my hair done, or be able to run and get a starbucks when I'd like to, ugh I hate having to ask him for money... but someday I'll be a geneticist making 6 digits and he'll be an air traffic controller making 6 digits and we wont have to argue over money or be so stressed about it. I just have to keep in mind that he is very supportive of me going to school and med schoo eventually so I guess I should be thankful for that:ohwell:
3BB- Great more good news, you and Marla are really lifting my spirits about this whole getting pooped on thing lol I just gotta get through two more years of it, yay..... haha:laugh:
lenece- I LOVE your daughters name... I may have to steal it someday if I ever have a little girl. I'm part Cherokee Indian and I wish I could've found a boys name in Cherokee that I liked but I found one in Sioux Indian for his middle name, Takoda, it means friend to all and I really want all of my children to have Native American middle names. OK now get yourself to bed and rest for awhile! I hope you start feeling better:flowerforyou:
gottaluvboyz- I'm right there with yaon the lack of sleep, Ayden got to sleep about the same time as always and slept for about 3 hours but after that he was up what seems like every hour, maybe hour n a half, ugh I havent had a night like this in a while, its just wiped me out. I hope your little boy starts feeling better soon and you can get some rest!:flowerforyou:
mrsbuzz-Stay on track with your calories! Diet really is the most important component of losing weight! And just keep trying to keep up with the work out video, take breaks if you need to, eventually you'll be able to do the whole thing.
Loki- I hope you get the house you want!! And good luck with the P word, hope it works out which ever way you'd like
MM- YAY for being sore and still wanting to get a work out in, good job! Hope your feeling well and your day goes good:happy:
Cyndi- Welcome!!!:flowerforyou: I'm so sorry for the loss of your little one. I hope you find encouragment and support from this board its a group of wonderful ladies:happy:
Lisa- Hope you enjoy your breakfast and work-out, have a great day!
Ok SO was up a lot last night, ugh I barely got to sleep n the sleep that I did get wasnt great. I hope he naps a lot today so I can get some rest! But on the upside I've lost another 3lbs!!!! And I'm over half way to my goal, only 2lbs over but w/e!! I'm so glad i'm losing weight even though the intensities of my workouts arent as hard as I'd like, but i'm following the heart rate zones my Polar F6 gives me so hopefully I'll be working harder soon! I'm so excited I lost another 3 lbs! woo-hoo!! That just made my day, even if I am tired lol. Well today is my cardio day so I'll be going for a powerwalk and I've already got my cals planned out today too so I'm set. Yay! ok I cant stop smiling because of those 3lbs!:bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:0 -
Good morning all you moms. I went and did my work out this morning and I am sore now. To much weights, and pushups and planks but I am happy I did them. I think my daughter wants a BOSU... Lol she saw one in the hallway at the rec center and she kept poking at it and looking at me and saying something ( she is only 17 mths so cant quite understand her yet). I was like yes we are going to get one soon.
Connie0 -
Welcome to all the newbies! Glad you are here! More posts to keep up with! :laugh:
Loki, My husband did all the cutting for the bed and I am doing the painting. We've never done anything like this before so I am really pleased with how it's turning out! Alex is pretty "whatever" about everything so it would be nice if he showed some kind of excitement for it when we get it done and set up. lol. Oh well, it's fun anyway. I think after it's done, if we like it and want to do more then we might make a bookcase for his room or something.
Ok, here's something for you all to be praying about for us. We are seriously looking into adopting a child or two from Russia. We were talking about it before we found out about our pregnancy and it kind of went on the back burner. But now that we aren't not expecting anymore, we are really looking into it. It's something we feel the Lord has laid on our hearts to do. We still want to try again in 4-6 months to get pregnant again. We haven't given up on that. My husband is building a website for donations and to tell people our story and keep them up to date on our progress in the adoption process. As you all probably know, it is very expensive to adopt ($20k-40k) and there's no way we can come up with the money ourselves to do it. I know if it's the Lord's will He will provide every last penny to make this happen. It could take anywhere from 4 months to over a year, so it also requires patience on my part. We are considering an older girl (maybe around 5) so I will need to learn Russian, so I can communicate with her. I am open to two children, one older than Alex and one younger. I could write a whole bunch on this, but I will stop there. I just want to get our prayer request out there. There are grants out there that I imagine we will apply for too. We'll see what the Lord wants to do and where He wants to lead us. It's kind of exciting and gets my mind wrapped around something other than our loss.
I've written enough for now. BBL!

Does anyone have a problem falling asleep at night. My hubby used to work 3rd so I had the bet to myself, but now he is on 1st and is in my bed. I have always had a hard time going to sleep, but the last few nights its up to 2 hour. I have this problem where my brain doesn't shut off and I think of everything and anything. From things I have to do, to stupid stuff. Any one have ideas to help me sleep. I dont' want to take meds because I want to be able to wake up if the children need me, but I want to sleep. I havent' sleep solid in a long time. Even when the kids are gone to grandma's overnight, I can never sleep a night straigh through!!! Help is needed!! Thanks!!!:yawn:0
