Good for you Posh! That's great that you lost 4 lbs. I wish I could say the same!
I am off to can some spaghetti sauce! Hubby got a canner for $30 for me!:drinker:0 -
I'm a SAHM with 2 boys, 4 and almost 2. Finding time to exercise is the most difficult thing for me right now. The 20 month old throws a fit if I try to work out while he is up and the 4 year old is no longer napping and my husband works long hours so can't watch them for me, so I just get it in when I can. Sometimes I take them to a local playground that has a sidewalk around it and walk while they play.
I would love some SAHM friends on here! I need more friends to encourage me and I would be glad to encourage others!0 -
Hi everyone....trying to find motivation to workout this week. Did really bad with only one workout last weekend and ate horribly this weekend. Need to get back on track. Still having trouble on lunches to eat and healthy yummy dinners my family will eat. But if Ican't make super healthy meals i try to add in fresh veggies for a side. Well heres to a good week. Good luck everyone.0

Well we enjoyed Halloween here, maybe too much. Definitely stepping up my work outs this week to make up for it. Finishing Week 3 of 200 Sit Ups, starting 100 Push Ups, and working on Week 3 of C25K.
I'm due NEXT MONTH!
Hope everyone had a great Halloween!0 -
Hey everyone!! Hope everyone had a great time trick or treating yesterday or if your town did it on Saturday. I posted a new pic of me, hubby, and the kids of us in our costumes.
Getting ready to start the 100 push-up challenge, finishing up week 4 of a 10 week challenge. Not sure what's all going on this week, but hopefully get one day this week to walk around at the park with my walking buddy.
Be back either later tonight or tomorrow to check in.
BTW, Welcome all newcomers 0 -
Welcome Posh! I usually go trick or treating to show off my kids anyway.
Home - I like your idea for a costume next year. Yeah, had to go the grocery store for some buns, and people were just going crazy trying to get the last bit of candy. Crazyness!
Mrsbuzz - don't stress. Every day is a new day and a chance to do well!
The halloween party I threw was awesome, everyone had a blast! I ate a ton of sugar, for the first time in forever, but it was nice to have a break and enjoy food. Back to eating healthy, counting calories and running! Gonna try for 4 miles today, we'll see if I make it. :P It's a lot harder starting off the week, and I push the stroller today as hubby works. So between the two girls and the stroller its an added 60 to 70 lbs. Have my follow up appointment to check my cholesterol and such in a couple of weeks. I already dropped the weight they wanted me to a while ago, been on a plateau ever since. Here's to dropping even a few more pounds before I go in! Have a great day everyone! 0 -
Welcome to all the newcomers!
Posh~Way to go on the 4 lbs!!!
Thank you to those who liked the costume it was fun (usually don't dress up but I am looking forward to next year).
Barb~Cute pic I like it!
Val~Good luck on the running. I am not much of a runner but maybe someday I will be.
Well today we went for a bike ride as a family to his GMa's house and back (about 1 mile there and 1 mile back). About killed me I have been riding my bike much lately and it has been months since I pulled two children behind me.
When we got back home I put my bike and the trailer away and then laid down on the floor. I felt like I was going to puke! :sad: Guess I can't say that I am that surprised since it has been a while since I have exercised regularly. Well got to go it's late. Hope you all have a great day tomorrow. 0 -
I'm 33 weeks today!! 6 weeks until my son gets here (and only about 7 weeks until my husband is back for a short visit, military, he's been gone 3.5 months).
DS is turning one on Saturday and I'm just a mess lol. I can't believe my little man is almost not a baby. He's SO close to walking. I'm kinda hoping he holds out until his dad is home in December though.0 -
tagging for later0

Had a great day!!
Work out included: Walking, jogging, Weights, and basketball..and of course the dreaded 50 push ups. I joined that challenge. I got 9 cups of water in and was under calories.
AmandaR... My baby boy just turned 1 on October 2nd! I know how you feel! No one tells you they are only "babies" for like 10 months!! Eli is so close to walking too! He took is first steps 5 days after his birthday and has been slowly taking steps since!
I'm so excited for you for your new baby coming along ! Is it a boy or girl?
To everyone else.. thanks for welcoming me with open arms! I'm so excited to be a part of MFP. I am inspired daily and love that this is a cool place to chat with other mommies!
Looking forward to getting to know all of you better! HUGS!0 -

There are some really tasty meals on CookingLight.com. I recently made the turkey lasagna and it was fabulous. My 17 month old couldn't stop eating it. 0 -

Great job on the work out, water, and calories!!
This baby is a boy, Jack will be his name. So one girl and two boys for us. 0 -
Amanda - so close! Keep it up!
I also went biking today, although hubby pulled the kids. Not a lot of parks near us so we biked three and a half miles to the nearest one to play for a bit and then biked back. It was a blast, and I didn't feel like running so this was an adequate substitute. Gonna try for 4-5 miles tomorrow, then 7 for the big one on Thursday. The little one is now a little too addicted to her nuk and waking up at night screaming for it. That's our queue for getting her off lol. So we're doing what we did with her sister. Only for nap times, no time else. She's a bit cranky to say the least, but here's to a self soother in the next few weeks.
Dinner is almost set, so off I go! Have a wonderful night ladies!0 -
I'm a stay at home mom for almost two years.
By the way, if you want, you can add me! :bigsmile:0 -
I have a little one that just turned one in Sept. My hubby keeps trying to tell me that he is no longer and baby and I need to allow him to cut his hair.:sad: I told him that once he cuts his hair it is all down from there. They just seem all grown up after their first hair cut. He got upset at me and told me that he needs a hair cut because he is starting to look like a lil girl (natural curly hair).
Well today I got in a workout which is nice. I put my 1 yr old in the bouncer and the other boys played and watched me it was nice to get in a workout. Well got to go it is late.0 -

Yeah we haven't cut either of our kids hair yet. I refuse. My DD is 2 and her hair is SO long and I love it. I'm SO happy I didn't let everyone cut it around her 1st birthday like they wanted to. Thankfully DS has curly little boy hair lol so no need to cut it yet.0 -
Just a quick Hello! Hope to be back later! :yawn:0

Katie - I'm lucky to have girls. My first one didn't get a haircut until she was 2. Then it was only a little trim to make the scraggly ends nicer. It actually made such a difference in how her hair looks to have it trimmed up a bit. She's had a total of 2 haircuts, both of them just trims.
Well, I finally achieved my goal of jogging 5 miles tonight! I ran all 5 miles with a pace of a little over 12 minutes per mile, running all 5 in one hour and 2 minutes! Things are progressing nicely for the half marathon in January. We registered today and I am psyched!!! Tomorrow is our long run and we're going 9 miles! A bit nervous about that one, but the idea of the long ones is just to finish, so I get to walk a lot of it tomorrow. Last week we ran 8 miles and burned over 1200 calories, so we're going out for Stromboli and calzones when this run is finished tomorrow!
In 2 weeks I have my follow up appointment with my endocrinologist to see how my cholesterol and liver lvls are doing since I started my high fiber diet and started running, etc. I've lost quite a bit of weight since the last one and eating quite well, so I'm hopeful that things will go well. We'll see. Well, off to eat a quick bite then rest a bit before bed. Have a great rest of your week!0 -
Iwannabe- I just had to add that I absolutely love your quote! I'm a big police drama show fan (CSI, Criminal Minds, The Mentalist) It is so true on those shows at least! :P 0

Good morning, ladies! This week has been so incredibly busy for me, and it's not even over yet! After 2 trips to the bank, I am now officially the new Family Readiness Group Treasurer. Go me! I'm really excited about this, as it will give me an opportunity to get out of the house a little bit, make some new friends, help out soldiers, and show off my organizing skills.
This week also seemed chock full of doctor visits. I had mine on Tuesday, and the doc noticed that I have been losing weight! Then yesterday we had to take younger daughter up to Duluth (2 1/2 hours away) to see the surgeon for about 10 minutes, then turn around and drive another 2 1/2 hours home. I had to bring along my older daughter as well, and she was pretty well behaved for the most part. Younger daughter does NOT do well in car rides for that long...especially over nap time. :sad: the whole way.
Tonight is a ladies' night out with the church group, and I'm baking a PIE! Won't eat any of it though, I promise. And tomorrow night I'm going out with a friend of mine to the Trace Adkins concert on post. WOO!!:drinker:
Hope y'all have a good day!0 -

Sounds like you're busy! Congrats on your new position!
We don't have much going on this week thankfully, but my son's 1st birthday is Saturday, and then next week my son has an appointment on Monday, I have an appointment and ultrasound on Tuesday. I think that's it, but I doubt something won't come up lol.0 -
Val~I wish I could get away with just a trim but if I allow for the hubby to cut his hair then it will all come off. I need to find someone who will help me keep the ds4 busy while I cut his hair (then that way he only gets a trim). But right now I am not ready for him to even have a trim. Way to go on the running. I can't even imagine running 5 miles let alone 9!
Home~Way to go on the treasurer position. I don't like it when schedules get messed up kids get so cranky! Good luck on the surgery what is she getting surgery for? Have fun on your girls night out!
Amanda~Good luck on the Dr appt next week. I hope all goes well. Also good luck on the son's birthday. How far apart are your lil guys going to be? My closest are 13 1/2 months.
Today I was able to go to the children's school and volunteer for the first time in like a month. It was very nice to be able to get out. I walked there in 11 min (1/2 mile) and back in 8 min. I jogged/walked on my way back. I got to say though the hill getting there is a KILLER. But I did it and it wasn't too bad either like it was when I first starting walking up at the beginning of the school year. YAY! Anyways got to go the hubby is going to be leaving and needs to take the laptop. Have a great day every one!0 -

13 months.
My older two are 13.5 months apart. I love it.0 -
Home - It always seems all mine and my kiddo's appointments fall on the same week... weird how that works huh? congrats on getting everything set for your new position! Having something that gets you out of the house and helps you feel productive is always a good thing!
Katie - I took mine to great clips with me. It was 10 bucks but then she got her hair cut while I watched the other one. Worked well for me :P I'm not brave enough to go at my squirmy girl with a scissors, nor do I have enough skill to make it look anything but hacked up if I were to do it.
We did 9 miles today, but only jogged a small portion of it this time. Normally we run at night when it's nice and cool, but we had our bible study tonight so we had to run during the day. It was just under 90 degrees but with the sun beating down on us it was pretty hot out. We did the entire 9 miles in about 2 hours and 15 minutes. Went out to eat afterward, but I've been so full ever since I only had that as a lunch/dinner. So I'm about 1200 calories under today. LOL. Oh well, my metabolism will probably having me eat slightly more than usual the rest of the week, and that's just fine with me
I work a half day tomorrow. Should be pretty easy, and it's nice to get out of the house and do something other than deal with my kiddos. DD2 is going through nuk rehab (ie we're only giving her nuk for naptime or with nursery providers/babysitters) Thus she's been quite indignant and cranky with us. But it's slowly getting better. But needless to say, I will be glad to get out of the house for a few hours. Downside is that I have to get up much earlier than usual tomorrow morning. 
We bought DD1 a true set of sheats and a comforter and pillow for her bed. Up until now she's still been using blankets given to her when she was a baby. She was very excited to sleep in a bed that was just like mommy's. Tomorrow is bill day. A lot of our bills were lost in the mail this month and I just noticed. Not sure if hubby grabbed the mail one day and lost it or something, but time to do some dammage control tomorrow! :P Well, off to bed! Have a great weekend everyone! 0 -
Not a lot to report....had to walk inside today because of the weather becoming crummy. We had snow in the forecast, but thankfully it didn't stick.
Well, I need to get going....gotta pick up my daughter from her bus stop here soon and she gets her report card today.....I'm excited to see how shes' doing in the first grade...0 -
i know, haven't been on at all....nothing to report
but nicole--this link is for you. just copy and paste into your browser. homemade gifts.

Another great gym day!! 387 calories burned, 50 minutes of cardio.
We have appointments (pedi and OB) tomorrow and Tuesday so I doubt I'll make it to the gym both of those days.
Hope everyone had a great weekend!0 -
Kind of dreading my weigh in tomorrow! I've had a tough week sticking to the plan, but today I'm refocused. Tomorrow morning will tell how off track I was. I'm just hoping not to gain. Wish me luck! :0) Thanks for all the support ladies!
