SAHM 2/21 to 2/27

Wow! There's a lot to catch up on and its only Tuesday!

I'll go back and try to read everything but for now in the mean time

WELCOME all newcomers, I was skimming through and saw LOTS of newcomers! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Also, so this is so generic, like I said, I'll go back later and catch up, sorry for everyone on here ranting and having bad days or sick children (I know the feeling, hence the reason why I'm being generic right now)

Took my little baby boy (9 months old) to the dr this morning bc the cough he's had since last week was getting worse, found out he has a cold and the beginning stages of an ear infection, plus he's getting 4 teeth!?! (The bottom 2 and the top 2 all at once!)

Sorry this is short, will be back later. Gonna go try to eat some lunch, having a subway sandwich.

Clcole~ I only did 18 minutes of it LOL just wasn't feeling it. I'm going to do it again today though! I feel ya on the snow, I'm from ND and even here in OH they cancel for small amounts. Drives me crazy!

Elijah ~ Congrats on the loss!! You look awesome!

bina ~ When is your bday? Mine's the 28th!

4loveofkids ~ Where did you live in OK? We just moved from there! Have fun with C25k!!

Wildcat ~ wohoo! I bet you feel like a brand new woman!

Barb ~ Ouch! poor baby!

Welcome Swtchrypie! I want to to the Disney half marathon one day, would be so much fun!

I'm about to put the kids down and try 6 week 6 pack again, hope it goes better today LOL

Wildcatmom82 - Have you tried changing your workouts? I've heard that can help if you hit a plateau. Congrats on 4 nights of sleep!! At 16 months my little man still gets up sometimes, drives me crazy but.........he's a snuggler so I just love on him and back he goes.

Right now I'm doing the C25K, so that workout changes weekly. I do that 3x a week, a boot camp workout once or twice a week, and usually Just Dance 2 on the Wii once a week. I've been thinking about ordering Turbo Jam for years now and I think I'm going to - I need a few more workouts on DVD.

For the last month she had been getting up only once a night, but for 2-3 hours. It was like she decided it was playtime, ugh. I didn't mind the wake ups when it was a quick nurse and back to sleep. I was most impressed last night, she did 8-7:30!

I guess I'm the "old lady" of the group, hehehe. I turn 33 in March.

nope--it's me at 40 this september.

ladies, thank you for all your kind words....you touched my heart. i really enjoy this board--reading everyone's successes and challenges is inspiring. i love rdg workouts too. katiem, i appreciate how you said when you want to walk away is when you most need it.

i'm not giving up on losing weight. i absolutely don't want to go into my 40s like i am today! i just gotta figure out a way through this rough spot.
katie--i aim for 1500 a day, just never stay there. but i'm going to keep trying.
i'm sure i'd do great with a set eating plan made for me to keep my cals consistent. it's that i change things up all the time that i run into trouble.
nicole--miss you girl! thanks for your note. i did chk out your diary. and we eat similarly. (i once looked at melissa's--are you out there?--and she eats like a bird). i can see from yours that i need to eat protein at lunch and dinner. and use those apples for snacks. and then if i skip the treat/bread/cornbread/pudding, etc i can be at the 1500 katie suggests. so thanks for letting me take a peek.

barb--i love that the woman is doing those pictures. how wonderful!
4loveof--you make me chuckle. thanks. glad to have your spunk on here.
amy--good job on the walk from church. i don't even buy the cookies anymore; i just tell the people that i can't have them. period.
good thing my girls are NOT scouts.

who said they want to do the princess marathon?? how cool! do you dress up and everything? in any case, a great goal to aim for, even if it's not this year.
and now i'm forgetting who's going hiking. i just wanted to say that it's awesome that you are seeking out other avenues to get fit. yay!
i know i missed ? in MD. take it easy. let your body heal thoroughly and then you'll be able to do EVERYTHING again.
kim could tell you that as she's making careful recovery from her surgery. hi you!

and holly, thanks for the pm.

welcome new ladies!

and now for LUNCH. smoothie cuz it's fast and we need to get to speech.

Stacey-I'm a little confused, by your post.....what woman is doing what pics? Did I miss something?

Elijah~Way to go on the loss!

Katie~Checked out your pic and yep they look awesome.

Stacey~I am glad that you are feeling a bit better. :flowerforyou:

Amy~I am a little nervous myself to go raw to be completely honest but I am tired of the stomach issues that I have when I eat too much processed crap! My friend is big into it so I know that any questions that I have she can answer for me. I have even thought about going mostly raw but still having my chicken and turkey. I don't know though. It is kind of funny I have always had the potential of going this route since I was a young child.:laugh: Like you it grosses me out to touch meat. The worst for me is chicken but that is my fav meat to eat. :laugh: My parents would go nuts when I was younger because if I would even see a tinge of pink I would not eat no matter what meat or where we were at. You made me LOL on the comment about our hubbys being sole brothers.:laugh: Good luck with your moms group.

Barb~I hate it when I have sick babies. :frown: I think the worst was last year when chicken pox made it's rounds through the family. Everyone got it except the hubby. Talk about miserable. My baby was only 5 months old when he got it. At least now I don't have to worry about any of the getting it again.

Hi! Is there room for one more?

I am a SHAM to 3 - my oldest is 3.5 yrs, my middle is 2 yrs and my youngest just turned 1 in Jan. I started on my unofficial journey to lose weight after I delivered my youngest. The day I went in to deliver him I weighed in at 252lbs - the heaviest I have ever been. Since then I have managed to lose nearly all my baby weight and am now weighing 176lbs. 165 is what I weighed before having kids, so I am almost there, although thanks to 3 pregnancies back to back my body just isn't the same! So I'd like to lose another 15lbs beyond that prekid weight......The family & I are heading to Jamaica in April for a week and I need to get bathing suit ready (eek!).

Ellen-there's always room for more

Katie-Nice profile pic!! Awesome looking shoulders!!

KatieM-I hate chicken pox, I had them when I was younger, my hubby isn't sure if he had them or not, and so far, neither of my kids have had them...yikes!

LoL Its ok Stacey....I was beginning to think I was missing something or I was coming down with Alzheimer's or something....Glad to know :laugh:
