SAHM 3/28-4/3

Im back!!! Ah this past week has been so crazy. My mom left yesterday so we are back to normal. I am very upset to say that while she was here I did not get in the exercise that I needed to. But I am back on the wagon now. I hope everyone is doing well and I am sorry I missed out on a week!!!

Shoppie~ good job!!!!!!

Good Morning Ladies!
I hope everyone had a good weekend!
Thanks to the ladies who gave me the encouragement, and especially Stacey for her pre-packing idea for my trip. I pre-packed snacks and planned my breakfasts for my trip and was able to stay on track, but not feel restricted while I was visiting my mom and up in PA at the baby shower. It was great!

Back to the usual this week...T is sick, which is no fun...I wish that the weather would make up its mind spring v. winter--it is really taking a toll on my little man to have it be in the 80s one day and in the 40s the next.

Check back with you all later! Happy, Healthy Monday!

tagging for later. must get dd to school and meet plumber at new house.

no exercise this weekend after all. but did a lot more moving/unpacking. and was relatively careful with my food, espec at the bat mitzvah--i did very well.

later

Its MONDAY...where does the weekend go?? lol IT was back to normal today, thanks for all the well wishes, my daughter is feeling better and was back to school today So, for me I went in and got a little run in before my Body Pump class..And making sure everything is in order for my Spin Class tonight..I'm doing a "Glee" theme tonight..Any Glee show fans here?? I love Glee, its so not like me to get hooked on a show, if its not sports, between my husband and I, we don't watch it...lol But I'm hooked on Glee!! So I thought it would be fun to make tonights Spin class routine to all Glee music!! We'll see how it goes?? lol

Shoppie....I am with the other mom's.....WOW, amazing!! You keep rockin!!

Swtchry....I too seem to put things aside when I have company, i'm getting a bit better, b/c most the time my company wants to hit the gym with me, so that makes it so much easier...

Holly.....sorry to hear about your dinner Hope your feeling better!

Wildcat.....I hope you get a good nap in today, sounds like you need a good one!! Sorry to hear about the rough night

Stacy.....I would count the packing and moving as a workout, hey you were moving thats all that matters.....lol And you were thinking about your food....Sounds like you made out ok this weekend Good Job!!

Katie...OK, tell me about the 100 push up challenge?? Is it on MFP?

Hi,
I'm Melissa, I haven't been on here in awhile and see that there are lots of new faces so I will reintroduce myself.
I am a stay at home and homeschooling mom. I have a 9 year old daugther, 7 year old son and almost 6 year old son. I also homeschool 3 of their friends. We recently found out that we are expecting #4 in November!!!! It was a bit of a surprise and certainly has changed my weight loss goals for the time being lol.

I've been on MFP for a little over a year and I lost 35 lbs. I have been on a plateau for about 6 months going up or down 5lbs. Now I'll be going up a little more lol. I'm excited to have a healthy pregnancy and not gain like I did for the others (75lbs for my 3rd!!!) In all honesty, I can't wait to be nursing again b/c nothing has ever boosted weight loss like that does lol.

Stacey- I didn't know you were moving! Hope you settle in comfortably. Are you closer to dd's school?

Nicole- if you are still on here, what are you doing to lose so much weight!! I see you dropping pounds daily on my friend feed!

Katie- that picture of your abs is killer. Hope I can post something like that someday!. You've been rocking the workouts!!

Looking forward to getting to know everyone

Okay, I wasn't tired by the time R went down for a nap (her schedule is all off, it was 3 hours later than usual!) so I attempted #3 of 4 25 min runs. It didn't go well. The previous 2 I've done straight through, but this time I stopped for about 30 seconds to catch my breath before the last 6 mins. I know it's not bad, but it got me really down :P On the plus size my max HR is a little lower every time so I know I'm slowly getting more fit!

Melissa - I said it already, but congrats!! 4 is my magic number, but my husband isn't on board with that just yet lol.

Hi everyone! Room for one more mom? I'm a stay at home mom to 3 wonderful kids, ages 8, 6 and 2. I'm trying to lose the last 10lbs and tone up. I started working out again about 5 weeks ago and I love how I feel. I'm doing the Couch to 5K program and am currently on week 6 - it's tough now! I'm also doing Chalean Extreme on the opposite days for strength training.

One of my biggest weaknesses is snacking during the day. We eat relatively healthy, but there still crackers and other kid's snacks in our house calling my name!!

Hi! I am a SAHM of a 4 year old (5 in Nov) and a 2 year old (3 in July). I am also a student and I babysit a 16 month old 12 hours a day so he is practically mine as well. I have 9lbs to go before I reach my goal.

Saving for later, been a long day so I'm calling it a night. See ya tomorrow!

Been having on going problems with the internet. So wish that I had a laptop of my own. Finally was able to steal the hubbys from him for a bit.

Things are going okay here. The same old same old. Something pretty nice is that the MIL is getting to the point that she is going to make the temp separation a permnant separation. She is so very tired of him harping on her and trying to manipulate her (he told her that he was going on a hunger strike until she came home lol I think that he is 3 again).

I finally lost some more lbs but after all this binging the last few days (TOM and I have just been pure lazy about self control) I am sure I have gained it all back but hey I deserve it.

Stacey~Sorry if you have answered this in previous post but how is the house buying going?

Welcome to all newcomers.

sorry to post and run yesterday, my DS1 has a tummy bug so that is consuming lots of my time and then DD woke at 9 pm for her final feed so I went to bed before doing my last evening post in here as per usual.

Thanks for all the congrats on the normal trousers! :bigsmile: I'm still 7 lbs over my pre-pregnancy weight but hopefully before too long I will fit back in all my normal trousers, haven't tried any but these yet as I know these are the largest I have in that size :blushing: Stupid really as there are probably trousers that have a label the next size up that are actually the same size or even smaller, its all psychological really!

swtch - welcome back, hope you had a lovely time with your mum :flowerforyou:

holly - so sorry to hear you were poorly, that's horrid. Is red lobster seafood? It could be the actual food made you ill?

KC - sorry your T is sick, there seems to be lots of it about atm, maybe the random changes in weather are bringing all the bugs out??

Wildcat - bleurgh at being awake 3 - 5 :frown: Hope you had a better night last night :flowerforyou:

Cat - I knew the Glee spin class would go down a storm!! Such exciting news about all the new teaching opportunities too! :smooched:

stacey - I'd def count the packing and moving as workout too, we last moved 5 years ago and I'm sure I'm still scarred by the experience! :laugh:

Nicole - sorry to ehar you weren't feeling great yesterday either, hope you feel better today :flowerforyou:

Welcome (back) Melissa and congratulations on your pregnancy! :flowerforyou: Hope you are feeling well with it?

Welcome also to IamWillow, CTK, khharms and ItaliaBella :flowerforyou:

Katie - don't beat yourself up about the binge, relationship problems are a huge emotional strain. You can and will lose it again :flowerforyou:

I hit 10 lbs lost today as those who are my friends know, I'm so excited!!! 7 more to go to my pre-pregnancy weight which is feeling more achievable now - hopefully I can shift that by the end of April (fingers crossed!) which would be awesome for DD to still be under 3 months and have lost all the baby weight. Though obviously I have a fair bit to go after that too!! :laugh: DS1 still off school sick but otherwise all ok, managed to fit in my first swim since the GP signed me off as fit to exercise again, did 70 lengths in 45 mins which is much slower than I was, but hey it will come back. I think I need to do some sprints to get the speed back. I was totally knackered after and am about 500 cals below target today but I think I'll leave it as I had 1000 cals extra with BFing plus the swim

WOW, lots to read, I love it!!

Shoppie - Congrats on non preggo pants AND getting to 10 pounds, that is awesome!!

Swtchrypie - Sounds like you had a great visit w/your Mom. Hope your week is going well and you are getting lots done. I need to make a new cleaning schedule and stick to it or my house gets bonkers.

Holly - Red Lobster and tummy issues, ugh, hope you feel better today.

KC - Glad T is feeling better and CONGRATS on getting those pounds back off.

Wildcat - Great job on your runs, so excited for you. Did you get better sleep tonight?

Stacey - YAHOO on moving and unpacking, that IS a workout for sure.

Cat - Giiiiiirl you are awesome, more spin classes and you still attend other classes, WOW. Wish I lived by you so I'd stay motivated to keep up with ya. :happy:

Nicole - How are you feeling?

Katie - I hate how I feel after too much sodium. Went to a movie this weekend and had popcorn, my tummy was all puffy the next day, not cute!!

Melissa - Welcome and congrats on the new baby! Are you going to find out if it's a boy or girl?

Willow - We are on the same week of C25K, I'm doing W6D2 tonight. I'm loving the program.

Sherri & CTK3989 & Karla - Welcome!!

SGK - Great job on 30DS, love the workouts and that it's only 30 minutes.

Katie M - So great to hear from you. Glad to hear MIL is doing so well now that's she's away from him. You'll get those pounds back off, just stay focused this week, you can do it!!

Victorious One - Great job walking, I'm sure your pup is loving it.

Excited to run tonight! Also need to get another workout in today, not sure what yet. Maybe a P90X video. My brother is in town so I'm not sure if I'll be running around with him later. Guess I better get busy just in case. Hope all are having a great day!

swtchrypie - At our old house I had 5 different colored index cards with chores on them (I did set chores M-F and weekends were more of a pick up only). I even laminated them so I could mark stuff off as I got it done. It helped a ton, no idea why I haven't made any since we moved, LOL. Guess I need to get on that. Hope you get your run in today.
