Gonna take the kids out to walk the dogs later they are off school this week so is hubby.
Strange day our good friends have just been turned down for the 2 kids that they were wanting to adopt dont really know what to say I have told them they know where I am if they need me I feel sad for them they really deserve a break.

HGonna go fix lunch now then I have to clean the carpets upstairs and walk the dogs.

Tomorrow shred then later on I will do elliptical jump rope and jogging up and down the stairs.
Wed rest day cant wait I will get a lie in.

Good Morning. :flowerforyou:

I slacked a bit last week, getting back into it this morning, I could really feel it in my legs doing my dvd. Im dreading doing it now, I think I need to get a different dvd, something more fun. I guess im just bored with it.

mrsbuzz, I hope someone wants to look at your house soon! We are supposed to get our taxes bac any day now, and DH has already oked the colors I want to paint the living room, laundry room, and master bedroom. Im pretty excited!

Good morning Mommies!!

I have so much work today!! I had dinner with my family yesterday & while I did stay in control, I did have a small piece of cake & a cookie! I just really feel like I need to work hard today & get that junk out of my system! It's funny how your whole look at food changes once you start eating better & exercising! I'm planning on doing my BL cardio dvd & maybe a little on the treadmill. I'd like to burn around 400 calories so I'll just have to do what it takes!

Have a great day everyone! :drinker:

CrystalOkeefe your little one is so cute. I dont like my kids having antibiotics if I can help it because they screw you up destroy all the good bacteria leave you more vulnerable for getting ill and so on then yo have a cycle they get sick give antiobiotics makes em vulnerable and they get sick again etc etc. have you tried getting some vit c that is the best way to fight illness whenever my kids start a sniffle I stick then straight onto a good kids multi vit and it soon goes away obviously when they are sick it is distressing but keep the fluids up let them eat what they feel like and give them a pain reliever regularly thats just my take on it my kids havent had antibiotics in probably over a year my eldest nearly 4 years it was an infection last time for Charley and Paige has never had them at all try getting something with good bacteria in to help her build back up. As for your little one with a rash be careful with baby lotion it is not the best you need something more like E45 (in the uk) not sure what you can get but something for treating skin conditions is best but only if it is truly dry skin if it is a an infection rash cream will make it worse as it will suffocate the skin my friends baby used get like this a lot and it turned out that the cream she was using encouraged the skin infection to spread and he was covered withing days with a burning rash it looked awful but it was antibiotics he needed not cream.

Had a hard day today legs were sore from jogging yesterday so decided to do shred level 1 with heavier weights I will do level 2 again on thurs and Fri I just had a moment of weakness when I cant do it kept coming into my head so I figured better to go 110% at what I thought I could do than only give 70% of something I was talking myself out of doing still managed to get my cardio in pretty good workout really tired today though gonna up my water thinks that what it could be plus I had to late nights early one tonight though.

Oh well thats me gonna get on with my big pile of ironing now before starting dinner mmm steamed cod and brown rice with peppers mushrooms and green beans YUMMY.:sad:
It is pancake day in the UK and my kids want pancakes for dessert aaarrrggghhh please send me some willpower.

staceyw37

crystal--make a same day sick appt. bring her in. walk in if necessary. tell dr that the nurse is too dismissive. he/she may not know that. and if still don't get results, or they seem unconcerned about your concerns, find a new dr. your kids' well-being is paramount.
as far as the lotion itching the skin--well, if the lotion has fragrance, etc, it could irritate the skin. if there are microscopic openings, the lotion could get in and sting. if it's more eczema rather than just dry skin, anti itch cream would be better than lotion. if still not resolved, see dr (even a derm if need be). we use elidel for one of my girl's hands which are like sandpaper--if that dsn't fix it soon, we'll move onto something else, acc. to our dr.
most important--you need a dr who is RESPONSIVE to your concerns, whether you are overreactive or not. if the nurse is a hurdle, you need to jump over it!
sorry if this is coming out as a lecture! meant it to be supportive advice to help you do what you already know you need to do. :ohwell:
btw, maeve is a beauty!

staceyw37

gonna get on with my big pile of ironing now before

ironing? ironing! you have how many kids tazzy, and you iron?! you should eat the pancakes, you deserve them!

pancakes made from scratch aren't that bad necessarily. you can control the sugar and the kind of flour. so if you want them it won't be a big deal. now if they want dessert'y kind, well just serve them and then move away from the plate of more. or make a 1/2 batch so they're gone quick. my kids like choc chips in their pancakes...
not tempting to me now, b/c i just finished satisfying breakfast!:laugh:
enjoy your day!

tazzy

I usually iron and watch TV at night but hubby is off work so getting a head start but I do hate it but my kids clothes all crease really bad and we dont tumble anything I have friends who just tumble and fold but electricity is just too expensive where we live our machine broke and I dont want another. I really hate the cute little skirts that my girls wear that have loads of folds they are a nightmare.

I am typing this whilst my hubby and kids are filling their faces with stacks of pancakes covered in syrup and cream I have to confess I did have a bite of my daughters but that is all thanks mfp. None of them have weight issues and I will make sure they never do we usually dont eat dessert but pancake day is once a year the tues before ash wednesday is shrove tuesday and its tradition although my kids dont like english pancakes they are more like crepes they prefer the american kind like the ones they have with mickey mouse when they were on holiday and do you know my hubby just nearly let the cat out of the bag they were talking about having good manners when they go to eat at chef mickeys on 18th june 5:10pm (we love disney) and my hubby told my son that when he eats with stitch he will have to have good manners - this is a surprise breakfast for the day of my sons birthday coz daddy is flying a week after us so he wont be there I have planned to take him to magic kingdom do all the birthday stuff there (2009 free on your birthday promo) my son wants to get a birthday fastpass then slip off about 1030am for a late breakfast with lilo and stitch this is a surprise I just hope Jordan forgets what daddy said tonight he also wants to go to T-rex for dinner that night and I will be ordering a birthday cake and ballons for him I cant wait it is going to be such a special day. 2 days after his birthday his grandparents have booked for us to go on a backstage tour of the dolphin enclosure at seaworld where you get to have a talk with a trainer and feed the dolphins and maybe even touch them this holiday is going to be amazing we will be spending 3 whole weeks in florida and are renting my parents villa with a pool so fun exercise not that I will need it I think I will be doing enough walking.

Thank You all so much for your advice !!! My poor girl she feels horrible.....

mrsbuzz

Hi everyone!!

Well I think I might be taking a break from the new journey of losing weight. I am depressed, stressed, nervous, terrified about our upcoming move to a new state. So I am not sure how I can handle it all and lose weight. I am hoping to try and still eat healthier but I am not stressing over it like I was. I still want to exercise, but still have this awful fatigue that I can't get out of. The mornings are awful, but hoping I can snap out of it. I know that you all have been reading all post of my rambling of poor me, so I won't keep going on and on about it. I just wish you all the best in your weightloss journey:flowerforyou:

I have truly been blessed by all the wonderful women in the group!! God Bless you all

HI girls! Long time no talk. I've been here, just busy with my little one. I think he's teething... he'll be 6 months old next week. I'm STILL having the sleeping issues with him. He goes down like a champ at night, but about 3 hours into it he wakes up. I am still nursing him and I'm not good at letting him cry, so I go in, nurse him and rock him and put him back down. BUT he doesn't go back to sleep. He fusses and cries. I just feel so lost. My husband travels a lot, so I'm by myself and I swear I feel like I will never sleep again... if anyone has any advice, please lay it on me.

Hey there mommies!!!

wow I havent been on in what feels like forever!! So I've started working and my online classes. I've stopped breastfeeding completely, and I havent budged on the scale since I left and there was like a week or two I was still sorta staying up with the boards that I was still at 150 ish... I went to go see hubby in NC for valentines day n gained a few pounds but that was also the weekend I stopped breastfeeding so I dunno if that had to do anything with it cuz I'm back down to 153 again today, ugh just been floatin within 150-153 for about a month n a half maybe... maybe a little less than that... ugh its so frustrating.. I joined Bally and was going like 4 or 5 times a week before I left for NC then I got back n havent been since... just so busy with work n Ayden n school.. ugh I really need to get my butt back in there... I did kinda get looser with my cals cuz I was so used to eating more because of breastfeeding... now Ive actually go to stick to the 1200 cal diet ugh n it sucks, I barely ate anything today and was feeling fine and decided to have a sugar free pudding cup after dinner, only 70 cals n then when I got online I decided to go log my food just to see how many cals I ate today and I would've been 8 under if I hadnt eatin that pudding cup and now I'm over... dang, I barely had anything today, but I wasnt starving either... ugh who knows...

anywho, Ayden is great! Hes doing so much better on the formula, less gassy, poops everyday, he only wakes up once at night (usually) Hes on a schedule now, I didnt put him on one he just has started to do the same things around the same times everyday and so I've started making what he does during his awake and not eating times the same for each time each day... lol does that make sense?

ok well I hope everyone is doing well, I'm going to try and keep up, have a wonderful night!

mrs buzz, i'm sorry you feel so out of sorts. i hope that healthy eating will help even if your goal isn't weight loss. i hope also you get in to a dr soon to address the physical/mental issues. good idea to get it going before you move...
moving is a big deal, and i can understand your anxiety. i bel. you mentioned that you're moving away from family. and that is a big change. give yourself a good year to get settled into your new home. it really can take that long (having moved more than a few times myself). we'll still be thinking of you--so check in now and again.
be well:flowerforyou:

mrsbuzz

Thanks Stacey!! It means a lot to me that you care. I will still be here, just not sure how much I will communicate. I almost seem like a failure. I found myself thinking about to eat for a mid morning snack and decided to eat healty. So I am still in the mind set and I hope it stays. i don't want to give up so maybe there is still hope.

Thanks again for your kind words and advice:flowerforyou:

Hi, I'm a stay at home too trying very hard to lose the last 15 lbs. I'm also trying to sell our house. It is very stressful and all I want to eat is junk food. I know I would be really happy with myself if I'm able to lose these pounds. I'm trying to look at the big picture and go for the healthy foods instead of the junk. Good luck on selling your home!
