    You know, it would be nice if HRM's come with a pause button for those times you need to pause the exercise video long enough to clean up after sickly boys.

    My 3-year-old .. poor guy, he says his blanket is sick too. And of course hubby is just getting over his flu, hehe.

    Hope your family feels better soon. I know it's even harder to fit some exercise in when the little ones are sick.

    Hi! :flowerforyou: Just checking in. Yesterday was a beautiful day and I had to take the kids for a walk. We're lucky to live where we do, there are a lot of trails near rivers and lakes. It was a nice change from cruising the neighborhood.
    Weight 167
    BMI 22

    My goal this week is to add to my workout routine at the gym
    And to get that scale moving again. Only 7 more pounds to go!

    Wow your almost there don't stop!
    I found a hiking trail near my home on the net yesterday but I wasnt't able to go check it out today because it was a rainny day.:frown:
    But I did fit in 35 minutes of cardio that really made me sweat. My almost 3 month old daughter, that was in my husband's arms was looking at me with fascination as I'm kicking my legs up. She's already learning good healthy habits! haha:happy:

    Good Thursday morning everyone! Today is my check in day and I am not really thrilled, but not disappointed either. I have only lost 1 pound, but usually this time of the month I have gained about 5 pounds (I just love being a women:grumble: ) so I figure I am doing something right. I did reach my personal goal of drinking atleast 8 glasses of water a day, every day. I think I am going to keep that on my list and add a new goal of 10, sit ups, 10 push ups and 10 minutes of stretching EVERY morning. If I can do more it would be great, but make that my minimum requirement.

    I am looking forward to the first really nice day we have had in a while. :glasses: I have lots of outside work to do so I should get lots of excercise today.

    CW 149.6
    GOALS drink 8 glasses of water a day
    10 sit ups, 10 push ups and ten minutes of stretching a day (minimum)

    Hi! Mind if I join? I'm a SAHM to 3 boys, who are 9, 6 and 16 months. I weigh in on Sundays so will update my stats then. My starting point is 143.2 pounds.

    For a while I struggled with getting my exercise in each day. But a couple weeks ago I decided I'd at least do my cardio before my husband left for work, so he started running downstairs to turn on the computer before he hopped in the shower so it would be ready for me. I haven't missed a day since starting that and feel great! If there's enough time, I also do my strength training right after so it's all done before walking to the bus stop with my sons. After they're all in bed is my time to just relax, so usually if I haven't done my exercise by that point it doesn't get done.

    Welcome Heather. SAHMs are very busy too I'm on maternity leave right now and I can't imagine the way things will go when I go back. If I can be at my goal weight or close to it, that would be one less thing to think about when I go back. :sad:

    I believe I had a great week, I went on two small bike ride in mild rain, did some workout DVDs and my sculpting every two days. Maybe just maybe I will be fitting in my fat preprego black pants by my daughter's baptism. I feel great, my weight in is tomorow so I'm crossing my fingers! :wink: The only thing that I am desapointed about is not getting much time to play outside with my son. Tomorow is suposed to be nice and warm :glasses:

    Good luck to everyone!
