    Good Morning Ladies!

    Amy--the tacos were good, hubby didn't overcook the turkey so it was still moist. He brought me scrambled eggs this morning for breakfast (what a nice guy).

    I haven't been to the pool in a while cuz I usually take the 2 little ones and they have been here so sporadically for the past week.

    Angl- the 30 day shred is getting me more in the butt and legs from all the squats and the lunges....ouch! Hurts to go up and down the stairs but running yesterday loosened me up some. I have trouble understanding why you would do this everyday anyway because you need to give your muscles a day to repair themselves so I am going to do it every other day and run on the opposite days (sounds good anyway :laugh: ).

    I have never done Yoga but would like to try it. I am NOT flexible whatsoever, never have been :sad: but would like to try it anyway....seems relaxing. All I can think is that if I try it at home I will be constantly interrupted by "MOM........"

    Anyway, everyone have a good day and hang in there! WE CAN DO IT!

    Hello ladies!

    I don't have much time today. We're getting kiddos ready for Open House at their school this evening. They're excited to meet their new teachers & see who is in their class this year. I'll check in later!

    Hello everyone.

    I went out and cut the grass in our backyard this morning and it was sooo hot out there I felt like I was sweating buckets :laugh:
    We have a pretty good size back yard that is on a hill so I think I burned som good calories.

    Having a turkey sandwhich for lunch that hubby made...yummy

    Have a good day!

    good afternoon ladies.

    busy weekend (always is).

    food - not bad calorie wise but poor choices in terms of health. one of the many things i am hoping to improve.

    every saturday afternoon hubby and i take the dogs on a 6k walk. so saturdays always have built in cardio.

    sunday morning the house gets washed top to bottom. my boys know nothing happens till 1pm on sundays. i am going to try to exercise formally after i serve dinner tonight but i am usually tired at the end of the day.


    how was everyone's weekend?

    I would love to join your group if that's okay. I'm new to MFP so here's a little bit about me. . .My name is Sherry. I'm 30 yrs old, married for 6 yrs to my wonderful husband, we have a 2 yr old daughter and live in TN. I just started being a SAHM in July due to cutbacks at work and I am loving it! I reached my goal weight with Weight Watchers about 5 yrs ago and maintained it until I got pregnant. . .then I gained it all plus a whole lot more back. I started back on my journey doing WW from home in Feb. and did really good until about May and then I hit a stumbling block and have gained back some of what I had lost then. But I am determined this time to stick with it and if I slip up I will not give up!! So anyways, if you all will have me in your group I could really use the support and motivation and I will give the same in return :smile:

    good morning ladies

    welcome sherry. i am also new to this group and mfp. i am finding it very helpful in keeping me on track. good luck

    i did not go for a walk sun night - didn't finish with chores til 10pm.

    but...
    woke up monday morn brushed my teeth and left for a half hour walk no one even noticed i was gone.
    mornings really do work better for me.

    is anyone finding they are famished after exercise in the am?

    angl--good for you for getting that walk in this am!
    i eat 3/4Tbl of skippy creamy natural pnut butter + 6oz of water before i go for a walk with the dog in am. it sustains me for that and my home cardio i do when we get back.

    amy or lettuce b--would one of you be willing to take over starting up this thread each week?

    i need to redirect my attn in the mornings to just logging--so we can be on time to school this year.

    thank you! :flowerforyou:

    Stacey-- I know what you mean...I have 4 to get out the door! lol Even my oldest won't wake up most of the time and all of mine are on completely different schedules since no one goes to the same school but I will try and do it but it just might be kind of late on Mondays.

    Maybe we should just do it so that whoever has the time that Monday and does it first is ok with everyone?
