SAHM 3/28-4/3

Can I join you ladies??
I'm a SAHM to a beautiful 9 month baby girl. I am struggling to lose the last 10 lbs of my pre-pregnancy weight, then the last 15 to my ultimate goal.
I am looking forward to getting to know you, and join you on this weight loss journey!

Welcome to Karla and all the new moms here! :flowerforyou:

I love reading about everyone's babies. My baby is in middle school now. Sometimes I miss her baby days...but not when I hear about them being up in the middle of the night! :happy:

I finally walked for real yesterday-- a whole hour with the dog and music. It was face-numbing cold again--my fingers felt like they were going to fall off! What's going on? It feels colder in spring than it did in winter. Anyway, by the time I was finished of course I was ready to take my coat off cuz I was so hot. It's sunny today, so I'm committing to walk again today.

Have a great day, everyone!

Good Morning!

Welcome to all the new ladies—khharms, Sherri, ctk and willow—Look forward to getting to know you!

Wildcat—I hope that you got some decent sleep last night!

Cat—That is great that they think so highly of your teaching in the spin classes….They seem to be adding a lot to your plate very quickly though…I hope you are ok with that! You are right though, you sure will be burning a TON of calories!

Have had a good start to the morning so far—re-lost the pound that I gained during T’s birthday weekend. T seems to be feeling better this morning, so hopefully there will be less whining here at my house today. I’ll check in later with you all! Have a good one!

Welcome Iamwillow, italiabella, Karla, and CTK3989!!!!!

sgk~ I just started the 30 shred OMG MY LEGS!! I have to do it twice today as the first time my kids took up most of my time. Seems to be the theme for the day! haha

shoppe~ woowhoo 10 lbs!!!!! thats awesome! Don't worry the baby weight will come off you are doing such a good job so far!!!

Amy~ I should sit down and make a schedule too. That would help a lot!!!!! Have a good time with your brother!

So I tried to do me c25k today (which I am still on week 3….poopers) but right in the middle andi woke up so I decided to try and do the 30ds and she got really fussy. So putting them off for a little bit and going to hit them again in a few, once I can get her settled down. I hope everyone is having a great day!

Hey moms.....Been a crzy Tuesday for me.....lol Thx for all the love and support mom! I sure can use it all

shoppie.....I'm loving the excitement in your posts!! You rock girl-friend!! Keep up the good work!

kc120.........thanks for your kind thoughts.. The head trainer ...slash....friend, talked with me a bit about the classes before she went and put them on the schedule for April...She knows I'm a gym rat At one point and time there were 7 spin classes in 5 days, Monday through Friday, morning and night and I was taking them all....lol I have lost so much of my weight due to spinning, I am just so hooked on it... It is alot, I've gone to not teaching for the past few years, to now teaching 4/5 classes, I am kind of liking the idea, esp the morning classes....So many stay at home mom's there, that I hope I can reach out to make some fun classes, and still burn a ton of calories....Kind of that" pay it forward" feeling....Some of those instructors helped me get on track, hoping I can re pay that to another mom out there....lol cheese, isn't it....lol

4loveofkids ...Living closer to me, that would be awesome!! So much easier when you have workout buddies to do things with!! lol That would be so cool!! lol
I finally got a good run in today, been a while since I just ran....Been so busy with "body pump" weight training, I've lacked in the running...It was good to get back in there... and I ran like I didn't miss a beat, which made me happy....

swtchrypie...hang in there girl friend!!


Welcome Iamwillow, italiabella, Karla, and CTK3989!!!!!

I'm not much help with ab stuff, the only ab workout I get is at Stoller Strides once a week and I feel it for about 3 days :P I did used to have a cheapy pilates video which was pretty decent for the price and was broken up into three 10 min workouts. I'd feel that for days, too. Next time I'm in the basement I'll see what it's called. Mine is a VHS copy, but I know I've seen it on DVD.

Unfortunately sleep wasn't much better last night and she was up at 6 this morning, which is way earlier than normal for her. When my husband went in she was standing in the crib, though! She spent all morning pulling up in the crib, on the coffee table, the rabbit cage....I'm hoping that was the cause for the disruption and we'll have a better time in the next few days. She always sleeps so terribly before hitting new milestones!

I had a choice between Just Dance 2 or a nap before work today....I chose the nap :bigsmile:

Hey ladies. I posted a week or two ago and then never came back so I am going to start again. My name is Danielle and I am a SAHM to a wonderful little boy born 9/2010. I have about 25 lbs to my goal. I am currently training for a 5K (C25K) and am running my first official 5K on May 1st. I am looking forward to your support and getting to know you.

So I joined up with you ladies a week or two ago and then kinda went on a downward spiral. I was eating out a lot and then my son and I flew to Texas to visit with friends. The food in TX was soooo good and needless to say in about a week and a half I gained 4 lbs back (I had been down to 11 lost). But now I am refocused and ready to go.

Now my son and DH have a cold. I am just keeping my fingers crossed that I avoid it.

Danielle - What week of C25K are you on? Several of us are doing the C25K program. I just did W6D2 last night, hoping to do my 5K in May also.

Good (almost) afternoon Ladies,

I am so tried today. The thing is it's for no apparent reason. Only one child waking up last night and she fell asleep again, in my bed of course. Today was cardio only as my legs are sore from Monday's workout and I did upper body stuff yesterday. I started using the fitness room when a class isn't going on to do some step aerobics. I used to teach step class about 12 years ago. I was just messing around for a little while and realized how much I missed it. I've done 15 min. each day since. A gym friend came in while I was doing it yesterday to chat. Today she came in and wanted to do it as a warm up before she met with her trainer so I 'taught' her for about 10 min. she hadn't really done step before so I kept it really basic. All together I did it for 30 minutes and with a 10 inch step that's 350 calories! No wonder I was in such good shape back when I taught!! I'm on the count down to the early morning class 5 days till then..so not looking forward to being up so early I really hope the class is worth everything Louie (my trainer and a teacher of said class) claims it will be.

Danielle-Welcome back, everyone falls off the wagon at some point but you can always get back on!

Amy-Congrats on losing another pound! Calorie tweaking is a constant for a while I think. I know I wasn't eating enough so I slowed my anticipated loss to 1/2 lb. a week and am eating more. We'll see how it works or if I need to mix it up more.

Nicole-It figures that when you plan to have pictures done of your kids for something at least one will have a scratch or bruise of something on their face! Glad you are feeling better and you had a good night for volleyball.

Cat-You are a spinning machine! I bet it feel good to have everyone think so highly of your talents as a teacher that they would like you to do more. I bet your Glee class was awesome, I love that show!

I know I"m missing some put these are all are on my page at the moment!

Swtchrypie-It's hard trying to get your workout done at home and seems that once you hit your grove is when someone needs your attention. It's frustrating. I hope you are able to get the rest of your workout it.

Shoppie-So what would you say to a friend in Britain instead of "go girl"? As for being called a 'Yank' that can be touchy to some. During our Civil War the country was divided and the northerners were referred to as Yankees and it was meant as a derogatory word. Even though our civil war was over 150 years ago some people in the southern states still refer to northerners as Yankees and if you weren't born and bred in the south you could never 'officially be a southerner' even if you lived there for the rest of your life. Funny quirks we have here.
