SAHM 11-1-10 to 11-7-10

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!

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!

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!

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.

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!

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.

I'm a stay at home mom for almost two years.

By the way, if you want, you can add me! :bigsmile:

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.

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.

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!

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!
