SAHM 9/7 - 9/12

Hello! We had a busy holiday weekend. Ate poorly on Saturday, but I was active too. Unfortunately, I didn't get all my water in either. Went to the Farmer's Market, out for brunch, then to Kohl's and then the mall.

Went to the pool Sunday and Monday. Yesterday was the last day the pool would be open for the season. Probably a good thing too. It was FREEZING!!!!! :noway:

I posted this on Facebook yesterday, so now I'm posting it here to help keep me accountable. I have decided to enter the Run Too Overcome 5k on March 26. Don't know how well I'll do or if I'll even be able to run the whole thing by that time, but I'm going to enter. They also have a 1 mile Kids Fun Run that my kids are excited about doing also.

Nicole - I love the grape story! Hope you feel better soon!

Here's to a good week for all of us! :drinker:

Nicole~Don't feel bad! We all go through those times what matters is that you want to keep going. There are many people that once it gets to be too hard they give up and then complain about not losing any weight. I have some friends like that and some family drives me crazy. You are doing awesome keep it up.

Amy~That is great about the 5K. Hope that you can meet your goal with it.

Kim~Hope the hip gets feeling better and also that you can go longer between.

I am really looking forward to friday. We are getting our internet back in our home now it will be more convient for me to log my food. I have been having to wait until I can get on to the hubby's laptop to do what I need and by the time I do that I just don't feel like logging it all. I know bad excuse but at least I have maintained my weight. Now I am ready to get back to losing again. Monday was a horrible day for calories. My dinner alone was like over 700. We made our own toasted subs. Which is healthy but I went over board on the cheese and had 200 calories in just cheese.:noway: :huh: :grumble: I have been really enjoying having over half the kids in school. I know I shouldn't wish away their childhood but it has been nice to be able to get more done. Plus so nice to have them appreciate what I do for them more than they have been. Well I am getting tired and need to get up early tomorrow since the hubby is leaving early for work so he won't be able to get the kids off to school.

Thank you Home and Nicole! You know how it is to feel guilty about things that you do as a mother I am sure.

Home~My hubby did the P90X workout and is loving it. He finished his first 90 days and he looked good before but now he is just HOT. It should be illegal for him to look that good. It slimmed down the areas that needed it and "buffed" up the areas that needed it. He is now wanting to start it again for another 90 days. I am a little nervous for him to do it. If he has that much success again than he is going to look even better.:laugh: I just need to get my butt in gear and start doing it. I am just nervous because it WHOOPS your butt! I did the cardio x, yoga x and the ad ripper x with an oh man they KILLED me!:sad: Of course it's all for the good so I just need to quit whinning about it and do it.

Nicole~The only stamps and ink that I have are from stampin up or close to my heart I have not had any problems with them working well for me. When I used other ink or stamps I did. Good luck with getting it to work for you. Happy Birthday to the hubby.

So this week we (friend and myself) were suppose to be getting back to doing our workouts (aside from my walking up the horrendous:laugh: hill to the kids school). That is out the window she had to take her disability child to the hospital and he was admitted and will be staying until at the very least Monday of next week. He recently had a surgery and since then the have found that he got a UTI from them catheter and then the most recent they suspected a blood clot and sure enough he had a "jelly" one (the start of one). As if he hasn't had enough to go through now this. :sad: He is the sweetest child ever! Everyone that comes in contact with him absolutely loves him. I am just glad that the caught it early hopefully he can come home soon. Well I am off.

Welcome Jenny! I hope that you enjoy this group as much as I have. It really is a great group of ladies!

Well I just wanted to pop in early and share my exciting bit of news with everyone. I volunteer up at the kids school every Thursday. I go and help the Kindergarten teacher with taking them to library so she can have some prep time. Well I walked up there and jogged a little bit of the time and shaved almost a minute off of my time last week. Well I decided that I wanted to run back home. So I did it and I am proud to say that I ran the whole way, .63 of a mile! Makes me feel GREAT that I did it!!!

sorry it's taken me so long to get here this week! Hope everyone is happy and healthy!

pardon my typos and such..... Insomnia hit and using the cell.

been crazy here, still fighting health probs on top of the weight. Bonus tho cause every time I'm going to the docs I'm .5 to 1 pound less!

did a photoshoot with fellow model and bodybuilder this week. Talk about inspiration!

katie, I grinned when I read that your hubby did 90x. I now have proof someone elses hubby did it in my suggestions mine picks it up!!

those of you that are running.... Wow. Takes some dedication but the results are soooo worth it! Keep it up!

welcome jenny! Yes this is an awesome group of women, and a slice of sanity when you need a minute away from being mommy.

Thanks for the laugh Nicole and Red! I had to share what I typed about the hubby with the hubby after that because he was asking why I was laughing. Of course he got all embarrassed and was shaking his head at me.

Nicole~I find that it is sometimes difficult to get motivated to do art projects. I love lighthouses though I have always wanted to do my kitchen in them but could never find stuff I liked to do it! Either that or I would see the stuff when I did not have the money to get it. :grumble:

Jenny~Oh I hate waking up early so I can total understand if I got up early to go for a walk and it was raining I would be bummed too! I have never been a morning person but I have been wanting to change that and I have been doing better since the kids are back in school.

Not really anything new to say other than I rode my bike to my friends house last night. I am a little disappointed in how long it took to get there. She lives about 4 miles away and it took me 20 minutes. A few months ago it would have only taken me 15 minutes. I guess that is what I get for not keeping up on the biking like I should have. I will get it back though. Hope you guys are all having a good Friday....date night for me and the hubby yay!

sorry i haven't been on all week. thur and friday were the jewish holidays and altogether not proud of my ever increasing girth/#s so haven't wanted to be on here. kwim?

welcome jenny! this is a great group and we really get the unique position of being mom/caretaker and also woman who wants to achieve tangible goals.

kim, sorry your hip is still bothering you. as for cortisone shots--are you having systemic side effects or its good work is localized to making your hip feel better. if you're not having systemic rxns, i wdn't worry too much about needing 4 shots per year. but get more opinions till you KNOW all your options and find what works for YOU.
you should all know i'm not much of a homeopathic girl. fine for others, but i'm much more the traditional gimme the drugs route. therefore, take any "advice" i dispense with that in mind.

congrats nicole on your 10k!! so stinkin proud of you!
and katie--for running. you too amy!
i ran downhill this AM .4mi. easy peasy---cuz it was downhill.

alright, gotta get organized for tomorrow and turn in.

i know i didn't mention everyone---but i did get caught up on the posts. will chk more this week. ((hugs))
