SAHM 3/14 - 3/20

Katie - I would send you some cyber will power to take with you tonight but I think mine is still in the fridge eating M&Ms from last night. Praying for good results and that your doctor helps you get everything figured out and balanced. BTW, love the idea of just watching my pee to see if I'm drinking enough. I usually have very light pee so I guess I am getting enough for my body.

AJ - 130's is awesome, congrats!!!!

Swtchrypie - Yippee, awesome that your daughter rolled over, such a big milestone. Did you get pics or video of it? I always would forget in my moments of excitement. Healthy foods def make my body feel better but last night I saw first hand how strong sugar cravings are after a sugar fest. I just couldn't stop myself from hitting the M&Ms, I had way too many, blah!

Stacey - Hope you are getting better w/ each day. I bet your ready to feel 100% again. It's good to see you back on here.

Holly - Great workout plan! You are the gym queen, way to go!

Shoppie - WOW, you lost 4 pounds, WOW, that is awesome, great job!

Thanks for the kind works about my pic. It was hard to look at and realize that it's the "improved" version. LOL, I hope to get it more toned up soon but I'm glad it's better than it was. Just annoys me that it got so out of control. Ah well, I can't change the past but I can do better today.

Plan on doing W4D1 of C25K today. Wanted to go last night but it was raining and we had community group so I just couldn't make it work. Wish I could have b/c it would have kept me outta the m&ms. My hubs is driving me crazy, LOL. He ate all the veggie straws that I bought for the boys' lunch. I swear, I'm going to start putting labels on things that are off limits. Hahaha!

Hello! I just saw this thread. I'm new here to mfp. My name is Simone and I have been a sahm since 2005. When I got pregnant with my soon to be 5 year old twins. I also was a sahm from 1994 until 1999 when my 2nd son turned 3. I love being home with my kiddos. My youngest is 18 months old.

4loveofkids - I'm exactly the same, once I touch sugar I just can't stop and the cravings get worse and worse, I really don't think I can have it at all :frown:

swtchrypie - the first time my second rolled over I wasn't even sure it was hi as I had been out of the room and my eldest son was with him so I went all aggressive mummy and asked eldes if he had turned him over!! :blushing: It was only the next day when he rolled again that I knew it was for real. I'm still waiting for my little girl to smile, the very first milestone. She is 5 weeks today, hopefully it won't be much longer!

welcome mom2pne :drinker:

clcole - just under 900 cals? WOW!

Thanks for the congrats, I am very happy but keep getting sidetracked with thoughts of how far there still is to go - I will focus on mini targets, I will!! Oddly today I realised that of the weight I need to shift precisely half i.e. 17 lbs is baby weight, and the other half was what I was over before I got pregnant.

Cat-WTG with the class!!!

Barb-Hooray for no ear infection! They scare the heck out of me because my brother's ear drum nearly burst from one a few years ago. I was always taking DD in if she even pulled her ear. :laugh:

Simone-Welcome!

Swtchrypie-Good luck with the p90x today! And hopefully your son won't be too upset tonight.

Shoppie-I had a hard time with min-targets too. I guess right now I'm mainly focusing on each new milestone (i.e: 170's, 160's, etc.) I do weigh myself everyday to make sure I'm staying on track. Terrible habit, but I can't help myself.

Christi- ((((((((hugs))))))))))) Being sick and having a deployment at the same time are a good reason to be down. I hope the boys feel better soon so you can get out and get the food you need to nourish yourself.

I did the Wii last night and was pretty suprised at how good I felt running for 20 minutes. I was expecting to be coughing my head off, but I only had to pause twice, briefly, for coughing fits. Today the sun is shining and we're getting up to almost 40, so I'm going to take the kids out for a walk with the double stroller after DS wakes up from his nap, and then tonight I have volleyball for two hours. Hopefully the kids will go to bed without any issues so I can get there on time. :happy:

Simone & Aerome - welcome!

Christi - Do you have someone that can come sit on your couch after the kids go to sleep? You could do your Walmart run and not have to worry about getting the kids out. I hope everyone is on the mend soon. Praying that your husband stays safe and is able to return soon.

Nicole - Great job running!! Have fun at volleyball tonight.

swtchrypie - which P90X video did you borrow? There are certain ones I love and some, not so much, LOL. I usually throw in a couple of P90X workouts each week but I don't use it faithfully. I'm sure I'd be a lot further along in this process if I did.

I'm being so lazy today. I need to get busy b/c it looks wild in here. To top it off my washer is acting ugly. I'm going to search for a place that can get out ASAP to look at it. It gets down to the last two minutes and then shows an error code and stops running. So annoying.
H2O - 3 down, started glass number 4.

Shoppie~ Don't you love baby weight! I agree with mini goals, I think its great to always have something you can obtain right infront of you.

Christi~ I am sorry about the boys getting sick. Its always harder the first week let alone when someones not feeling well. I'm glad you said you have a great support system.

Welcome aerobe!!

Amy~ The p90x I did today was the ab ripper x. Lets just say um yeah. ouch. I couldn't do it all, I have a previous back injury that was not feeling too hot. But I am going to keep at it. Hopefully in a few months I can do it fully. BUT i did try right! Great job on the water and have fun with the laundry, that is what I am doing today as well.

Randi~ Good luck with the workout tomorrow, let us know who wins. I think night would win with me. there are some mornings it takes everything I have to roll out of bed.

i might be mia for a bit will is going to take the laptop with him and my desktop stinks….but i will be back!

Wild-thanks for the idea, I might try that next.

Shoppie-He did get some strawberries, a grape, and some melon. Congrats on the 4lb lost!!

Swtch-Thanks, he seems to be doing better both cold wise and constipation. He went three times today, but it was still a little hard for him to go :frown: Hopefully tomorrow will be better for him.

PNC-Yikes! I know I was talking to a few people over the weekend, and they were all saying don’t mess around with ear infections, whether you think they have it or not, better to get it checked by the dr then not.

Simone & Aerome - Welcome to the group!

bluerose - how is your little one's tummy?

holly - nice going with the shirt!

victorious - not sure who thinks life at home is leisurely unless they haven't ever been at home looking after children

I'm a bit torn about our dinner tonight, have just entered it all and it puts me a tiny bit over target (only about 30 cals) and is really yummy but the vast majority of the cals (and fat!) are in chorizo so I'm wondering whether to not eat that part or only half of it or something?

I'm having a really nice day, both small ones behaving well which is really lovely - A didn't cry at all during playgroup so I was able to spend more time with B and he always really flourishes when I can

Welcome aerome!

Holly-Woohoo!! It always feels good when you shrink out of a bigger size! Sorry about your little one. My DD usually tries to fall asleep on the couch around 4pm and I'm in there shaking and tickling her to keep her awake so she will go to bed at 6:30pm! :laugh:

Shoppie-Glad you had a good playgroup! I would eat the chorizo since it's not putting you over by that many calories. I think we all have days where we're over, but as long as they don't outweigh the days we've met, or are under, we're fine.

I went to volleyball last night and had a great time. There were so many of us we had to form three teams and rotate in and out. I hate when that happens because then I'm not exercising for the whole two hours, but it's nice that so many people are interested in playing. My upper abdominals are so sore today and I think it's from doing jacknives (SP?) on the Wii Fit two nights ago. They started bothering me a little during our walk yesterday afternoon, but this morning I couldn't even sit right up in bed! We finally sent Inception back to Netflix, so I should be getting Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism tomorrow. Has anyone done Ripped in 30? It sounds better than 30DS, but it's not available on Netflix yet so I'd have to buy it.

welcome simone!

swtchry--p90x is so doable! you may have to work up to it, but you will get there. i remember when the first time i did abripperx--hehehe. i did about 1/4 of each of the exercises and dubbed it abripper.25x. plyo and core and yoga (cuz that one's 90 min) are REALLY hard, imho, so start out with something else. and keep pressing play, just like tony says.
btw, there are LOTS of beachbody coaches up on these boards, so join in a thread or ask your q's. you're sure to get support and encouragement!

haven't caught up on rdg. but think about you girls all the time!

got in a workout this am--first one in a week. felt good to move and i lasted the 4 miles.
also, back down those 2 pounds--which must have been water/waste. whatever. i feel better about myself and feel like those 140s are still w/in reach!
altogether, i'm feeling better. sinus infexn and eye infexn still not gone, but definitely improved. so thanks for your get well wishes. must've worked.

better skedaddle. have a great day everyone!

Yay for sahm thread! Hi everyone my names Danyelle, I've been using mfp since Jan. I love this site! So far I've lost 27lbs. Anyways I have 2 wonderful kids my boy just turned 4 and my baby girl is 10 weeks! Lately I've been slacking with working out, I honestly gave no energy what so ever. I thought as you lose weight and reat healthier you get more energy but not for me. But I'm keeping my head up and hopefully the rest falls off lol. Good luck to everyone and their journeys!

Good luck Katie!!

LOL Stacey! My DD cracks up at my Mii when I measure myself because of how she bloats up.

Welcome Danyelle!

adk-I love the Biggest Loser!!

Stacey - That is hilarious, darn honesty, hahahaha.

Katie - Good luck!! Hope you have a wonderful run. I tried doing a 5k while pushing my oldest once, LOL, it didn't go so well but, there were some major hills and I just couldn't hang. :sad: That was also when I was trying to run after only training for a month, I was def a mess that day.

ADK - Sometimes we need to just cuddle up and take some time for ourselves, you can always workout today. Hope your little man feels better today. Does he have severe allergies? Our old church had a boy with a milk allergy and if he was even near another toddler that had recently consumed milk he would break out into hives. It was so scary. I think a milk allergy would be the hardest, he couldn't be around other babies/toddlers w/o breaking out into hives.

Welcome Danyelle!

Swtchrypie - Did you start week 4 yet? I love it, lots more jogging and it was easier for me with longer jog times and less stopping and starting. I felt really good when I got done, can't wait for day 2 tonight!

I've never been a McD fan, always preferred Wendy's or Chick-fil-a but we do go rarely for Noah. Usually I just eat before hand or order something small. I feel like my mouth is coated in grease after eating there. Now, if Wendy's would only put indoor playgrounds in then I wouldn't have to ever enter McDs again. :bigsmile:

Busy day today so I probably won't be back until tonight. Happy St. Patrick's Day!! My Mama is making corn beef and cabage for dinner, yummo! Good thing it's a C25K night.
