Back To basic

Tamara I am giving you the week off!! We will get a chart next week! Take care of your stuff. Really don't worry about besides I didn't have a loss anyway!

Hey everyone. The hubby broke his fever last night! We disinfected the house and have washed everything he touched. I am so glad that he is feeling better. I had my first appointmetn with WIC today and we got approved. I knew we would, but I was happy to get it. The nutritionist there told me that 2000 calories a day was a great range to stay in. She said that I really shouldn't gain more than a couple pounds in my first trimester. She said I can tweak the calories as needed as long as I am getting in all the food groups. So I have to be super strict. I gave in yesterday and the sick hubby and I had Dunkin Doughnuts and McDonalds. It was so yummy, but not worth the upset tummy. Today I am back on track, but still taking it easy with the hubby. He goes back to work tomorrow and I go back to normal routine. That means I get a workout in and I so need it. Thursday I am trying the fit for two pregnancy class with a friend on the base. It is 1 hour and 15 minutes. I can't wait to see how it is. The friend is due in June and she is in desparate need of some exercise. They offer it twice a week and if we like it then I have a workout buddy for a few months. Plus it is a great chance for me to meet other wives/moms on the base.

Tamara - Take the day off and do what you need to do.

Everyone else, have a great day. I got to get some lunch. Talk to you all soon.

Hello guys,

Sorry I haven't been around. I'm not in a good place right now, so I don't want to come on here and bring anyone down. So I've decided to fix myself and come back when I am ready to contribute to the team.

Tamara....take care of that little one.

I will be back roaring....just give me some time.

Love you all!

Hello all- my day is much like Jena's today - woke up to INCHES of water on the floor - seeping through the walls and into the ceiling below... toilet apparently ran all night. to top it off, I was running late for work and then going to a very, very sad funeral for my friend's baby daughter...
I am TRYING VERY HARD to control me and not let the day or EMOTIONS control me. Eating McDonald's - which actually doesn't even taste that good anymore - will help NO ONE!!!! It is not even comfort food - it just makes me feel like poo when I'm done.
Anyway, I digress... the only good thing that came from the water was the exercise I got vacuuming and cleaning it up...
I am getting my water in today and am going to give situps and at least 10 mins of cardio a shot tonight - I have A LOT of pent up energy and frustration to burn off.
Hello to everyone! 3 more days to weigh in - what are your goals for friday? Mine is a 2 pound loss - Ok, Deneen - make it happen!

Good morning everyone. I am doing much better than I was last night. I had the worst tummy ache from about 1:00 till I went to bed. I had toast and dry cereal for dinner. Nothing would settle on my stomach. I woke up this morning feeling much better, but my tummy is still super sensitive. I think I am probably going to struggle to get in all my calories today. I am also going to get some cardio in today. The hubby has PT and I am going to get my workout in while he is at the gym. I was suppose to have lunch with a friend today, but her hubby is sick and she doesn't want me to catch anything. So we have rescheduled for next week. I plan on taking it pretty easy today. I am going to get a nap in and be sure to drink plenty of fluids and eat stuff that will be easy on my tummy.

Marcie - I want you to know that I love ya and I will miss you if you disappear on us. We want you here. We are here dor support and to listen and to help you pull through this. If you need time, I completley understand, but you never bring us down. We all have so much on our plates, but we always find time for each other. So just know that we all want you here and are here for you when you are ready. I am sending you big hugs right now!

Deneen - Thank you for sticking with it, I hope that you found time for the exercise last night and that you stayed away from Mcdonalds. You are still 16 pounds down from where you started and you will get back to 23 poiunds and fly past it. Keep your head up. I am proud of you for not letting the hiccup in your day ruin your day. Love ya my friend.

Jean - I am super proud of you too for not letting the things life threw at you derail you. I also really liked your post about what our military does and that we should not complain. My hubby will soon be doing stuff that scares me everyday. I am just glad that he is home with me right now and he will be here to witness the birth of our first child. He gets to be home with me for the whole pregnancy. After we have the baby, we will be getting our next assignment and be moving. I feel very blessed that he gets to be home with me every step of the way. God is good.

Tamara - I love you bestest. Take care of Jade and enjoy your day at home with her. Good luck on your test today. I will be glad when you are done with training and can start getting a paycheck again.

Amber - Get your butt back to the thread. Good job at the gym last night. I hope you see the resultss that you want on Friday.

Don - I am glad to see you posting more. Can you send me the recipe for the wraps that you made? We like buffalo chicken in this house too.

Jessica - I really hope the scale moves for you on Friday. You have been stuck for too long.

Karen, Kerry, Rupi, Nicole, and anyone else that I missed...I hope you are having a healthy week. Come back to us soon.

Okay I am going to spend some time with the hubby before he has to go to work. I hope I do not gain again this week. The nutritionist said that I should not be gaining yet. Here is hoping that I don't. Have a great day everyone.

Hey all -

My husband did a P90X workout at his sister/brothers house and now wants to buy it for our house lol He said he really wants to cuz we can do it together and is excited lol Im like ok what could it hurt

Well I got my walking in last night 2 Miles in 30 Minutes. I even got the running in I walk at 4 mph and every 4th muinute I would run for one minute. I will work on reducing the time between walking and running. Like I said I walk at 4 mph and when I run it was at 6 mph. after my walk I did 150 jumping jacks in 2 minutes. I should have also jumped rope but the truck was in the garage and no room. oh crap that is an excuse I should have pretended to swing the rope and just did it. I will tonight I need to start doing this in the morning as well like I use to.....I use to walk 2.5 miles in the morning and 2.5 miles in the afternoon after work. I am working my way back to this and I will get there!
