SAHM 4/18 - 4/24

Wildcat - Bridge to 10K sounds awesome. Are you starting it this week or did you already start?

I just started yesterday! First week is 10 min run, 1 min walk repeated 4x. That 1 min goes by way too fast, but it was totally doable. I'm definitely stiff this morning, though.

Woke up this morning to a baby with the most obnoxious poop ever, maybe even worse than black bean burger poop :laugh: We can rarely get her to eat meat, but last night we had tacos and she gobbled down the ground bison with taco seasoning! Apparently she likes strong flavors. I just realized this morning it's less than 2 weeks to her birthday and almost had a heart attack. Where does the time go?? :sad:

Happy Tuesday! I woke up at 5 to exercise since my son wakes up at 6:30. I wanted go make sure I was able to get a good workout in. I was able to do the 30 ds and 20 min. On the elliptical before he woke up. I also got most of my cleaning done so far too!
Looking forward to the nice weather headed this way so we can play outside and get some good bike riding in!

Have a great day everyone!

Wow so many new people, WELCOME! (waves hello)

My teenagers are on spring break this week. My daughter had a trip with her band to Colorado for a performance and skiing that she just returned home from last night. She's still asleep. Good to have her home again.

I had a long workout yesterday, well 2 actually. I had my EVO class at 6 am then went back in with the little girls (so they can play with their friends) and did the stairmaster then step and a little dancing. My calorie burn was over 1100 calories so crazy! I know some of you do that fairly often but that was a first for me. Today I'm worn out a little but I will still go in for more cardio. EVO tomorrow is leg day so I can't overdo it today.

Debbie-How nice to have a lazy p.j. day I haven't had anything like that in a long time! Enjoy

Kelly-What motivation to get your work out done and most of your cleaning all before 9:00!

Faithgin-Before mine turned into teenagers they would always be up early, never slept in. Now there are times I have to pry them out of bed..Neither of my young girls 4 and 2 like to eat meat, every now and then they will eat some. If i let them they would live off of carbs!

Wildcat-Time does fly by! It's hard to believe my youngest is 2.

Good Morning Everyone!

YES! Another pound down! I think I am back on track for 1lb per week loss like I was before my marathon weeks of visitors/trips etc.

Welcome to the new ladies!!!

Kelly—way to go on getting that workout in this morning! I hope that you and your son enjoy some quality time outside today!

Amy—Same thing with the toys at my place….despite them all fitting into the toy box and various bins in T’s room when I clean up, they seem to be overflowing at all other times.

Have a great day everyone!

Soni—You are doing great! You have a plan for every day and it sounds like you are working hard to achieve everything that you plan for yourself. Keep it up!!

Barb—Good to hear you are feeling better! Good luck on 30DS!

Got a reminder call from my Drs office today. It has been six months since my last blood draw…some of my levels were higher than they should be so they want me to come in and meet with the doctor and then she is going to have me get another draw. My appt is set for May 31st. That is six weeks away, so I’d like to go into that appt at least six pounds down from where I am now. Since my average has been a pound a week, I don’t have any room for error, so I will have to stay on track, no matter what.

Thank you everyone for acknowledging my morning. Workout! Those words are just another motivator for me to keep going!
Barb im doing the 30 ds too! I love it. Im technically on my last week on level three but I think im going to keep going until I don't feel the burn anymore.

I hope everyone enjoys their Wednesday. I didn't go to bed til 1am so no morning workout for me. I hope to get it in during my sons naptime.

Katie--my cholesterol was high, hopefully i've made some progress that will show in the numbers. when i did that bloodwork, i wasn't spending much time exercising and i didn't really pay attention to the quality of food i was eating. compared to then, i have done a complete 180. Glad to hear that your trip went well yesterday...car trips with kids can be rough...good job on finding that alternate route!!

Holly--thanks! i think i can do it too, i just need to stay focused

Another beautiful day here....already in the lower 80s. all the windows are open and i thoroughly intend on playing outside all afternoon after T gets up from his nap...with the exception of going to the gym for step class. until then, laundry!

Afternoon everyone :drinker:

Welcome to all the new ladies!!

I know, I have been horrible about keeping up with everyone. :embarassed: I just feel like I can't find the time to read everything, then I do find some time to read some but then I don't have the time to respond then I come back & there is more to read... haha, it's a vicious cycle!! So I will just say a general GREAT JOB to everyone!! :happy:

I have been logging my food & doing my workouts though! Life is just CRAZY with 4 boys by myself right now! My eatting hasn't been fabulous but atleast I'm logging & staying under my calorie count, although that has never been my problem. I finally got TOM after 68 days, yikes it's been a bad one. I know it's cause of breastfeeding but that is still nuts to go that long, but it was cycle #4 after giving birth in October. So I have eatten anything & everything chocolate in the house the last few days, including all the cake balls I made for a get together that no one showed up for, haha. I am right at the prebaby weight point, only ounces away now! Maybe when this visiter is gone I will drop below that point. Then the real work begins to remove the pre-all the other babies, including my 10 year old-weight!!

Well I must get off the computer again, kiddos are ready for lunch then naps! Which mean I get a shower, woohoo!! Hope everyone has a great day!
