SAHM 5/16 - 5/22

Bump for later! I have to get the kids off to school then it's me time! SO glad I found you gals.

tagging for later...

Got in late last night from my trips...have so much to catch up on. Happy Moday ladies!

Good morning Lovely Ladies!

Rainy and cold weekend here, so nothing too exciting going on. I did officially reach the 120's, 128.8! YEAH! Other than that my weekend was spent doing laundry and sorting things for a garage sale this weekend. I didn't make it to EVO this morning. Julia has had a few nights of bad sleep and Lucy has woken up as well so this morning I decided that more sleep was the way to go. I will head into the gym and get a good workout in my own.

Nicole-I will be finishing the cleaning I started, and organizing the garage sale mess today as well. If I'm doing super good I'll get the floors mopped too!

Katie (aka Superwoman)-The new pic is awesome! It's easy to forget sometimes that we are Super-women. Try not to stress about the few pounds that came back they are probably false gains and are just your body retaining extra water.

A new day and start of a new week! What's your goal for the week ladies? Mine is to get the garage sale stuff all done by Wed.-Thurs. Food wise to stay under on sodium and up my water intake (wasn't very good this weekend). Exercise wise to try some new exercises from all the fitness magazines I have by my bedside table and put together a new routine of things.

Holly

Katie~Love the new pic and the shirt. I was wondering what the story behind it was until I read your post.:happy:

Nicole~Ya the couch is a little too comfy. Cleaning sounds like something that I need to do too.:laugh: Just can't bring myself to it. Instead I am going to go out and do some yard work. I need to get my garden in before it is too late.

Holly~For me I think I am going to work on water and getting my yard work done enough to get my garden in. My mom told me that my sister already has hers in. We have been slacking. :grumble: Every year I tell my hubby next year I want to get the garden going earlier and so far it has NOT happened.

Well I best be off to get my stuff done that I need to and give the boys some outside time.

It's a new day & I'm back at it! :drinker:

Love the shirt Katie!!

LoL Christi, I have that shirt too!!!! Love it~ :bigsmile:

Be back later, my daughter has her first spring program tonight, very excited!!!

tagging for later!
thanks katie!

i'm going to run/walk while lo's at gymnastics today. wish me luck!

Hello ladies!

My new profile pic is my daughter and me at her spring program from last night. She looks so grown up in the picture, aww. She's getting to be such a big girl. She did really good last night.

Also, my lil guy, he's not quite 13 months yet, and he's walking pretty good, still a little wobbly, but he's doing great! If I remember right, my daughter didn't walk til she was like 15-16 months, I'll have to remind my self and look at her baby book.

Hope everyone had a great Monday. Hubby and I made it to the Y yesterday and both got a pretty good workout in! Hoping for a weight loss this week and not another gain.

Will check back in later.

Have a great day ladies! :flowerforyou:

hi girls! lotsa good happening out there!

i ran 22min straight yesterday, then walked 14, ran 6, then walked for a total of 47min. YAY

today i plan on doing leslie sansone's boot camp dvd.

my goals this week--keep drinking water, eat 2 fruits and 2 veges every day.

---

btw--i MAJORLY burnt fries in the oven yesterday. (left the oven on with them hoping to get a head start for dinner--came home to a SMOKY house!!). besides continuing to open doors and windows, any other suggestions for getting the smoke smells out of my house? i'm so sad--it's our new house and i wrecked it!!

shoppie--that's great on the exercise!

well, ladies, i did not meet any of my goals today. had a smoke inspector come and review the situation. he gave many suggestions of how to eradicate the smoke odor, and basically said it's minor enuf we can do it ourselves. whew!

so today, kept doors and windows open, febrezed the furniture, wiped down all the cabinets inside and out with orange glo. still need to clean the oven. and hopefully that will be sufficient.
if not, then we have to wash down the walls and ceiling in the kitchen/great room.
man, when i make a mistake, i make it BIG.

for tomorrow i plan on doing the dvd i skipped today, and eating properly. must snack on fruits and veges!

also, will need to continue with house cleaning.

chk ya later-

Hey Ladies!
Sorry I have been MIA...I have really struggled to get back into the groove after my business trip/wedding trip last week. I don't fly well at all, and I hate sleeping in hotels, so doing it for four days straight really takes a toll on me. We did have an amazing time at the wedding down in Florida, so that is the silver lining.


Anyway, I hope that everyone is having a good week. Congrats to everyone who had a loss this week!

No loss for me, but considering not logging for four days, and traveling, holding steady is an accomplishment in itself.

lloyd~You can do it! I am at my smallest in 7 years and have done good at staying in the mid to lower 150's. Now if I could just get into the 140's it would be great!

Barb~ cute pic! I used to be a soda junkie but now most make me sick and I try to stay away from the ones that I like (Welch's grape soda). Good luck!

Nicole~I used to hate yard work now enjoy it. It's been raining last 2 days here so I have not been able to get out. However on the bright side I took about half of my laundry pile to the laundromat and did it so that I could get caught up on it. We figured out that we did some 27 loads. Ya I have completely slacked on doing laundry.

Stacey~Don't be too hard on your self. We all do stupid stuff. :flowerforyou: Like for me I accidentally splashed some acid cleaner on me at work not just once but twice. Go me!

Shoppie~Great job on loss and have fun on your trip when you go.

KC~it's hard to get into the groove after a break away. :flowerforyou: Good luck you can do it!

Katie~Great job on the calorie burn! Believe it or not I am not a huge fan of TV so I wouldn't be a good one to talk to on that. :laugh: Unless you are talking the Discovery Channel then I am game. Hahaha I guess I am a nerd like that.

Well today I helped out at the Mountain Man Rendezvous at the school. Not sure if you all know what that is so I will quickly explain. The kids learn about what life was like back then. There are different stations that they go to. The stations for the 1st half were catch fish w/ bare hands, weaving, tall tales, possibles bag, necklace making and archery. They then had lunch that was made in a dutch oven. The 2nd half was games (stick pulling and octopus tag), candle making, tomahawks, gun powder, mining for gold and pie eating contest then at the very end they did a candy canon. I normally don't have a ton of fun at the things that I volunteer for but that is one that I will be volunteering for next year too. :laugh: I never knew that stick pulling was that fun. I will have to try that one out. Well I got to get I have other stuff go to do before going to bed. Good night!

Shoppie~

Nicole ~ Go for it!! The couch to 5k program is what got me into my love of running! I'm getting ready to start traininf or my next half marathon! Any questions, just ask, we have lots of runners here!

Thanks for all the comments on the shirt, the boys got it for me for Christmas, guess they think I'm super mom too!

Holly ~ Yeah!! Congrats on making it to the 120s!!

Stacey ~ Way to go on 22 minutes straight!! Sorry about the smokey house, might just need to give it time, and burn lots of candles?

Shoppie ~ Congrats on your loss, 2lbs a week is amazing!! Great job!

KC ~ No worries, as you can see, I'm the same way after a trip.

Barb ~ Sorry about the soda cravings I gave up pop for lent one year when I was 17 and I haven't drank it the same since (I used to be a 4-6 cans of mt dew a day kind of girl, no joke, I guzzle it down faster than I could water...makes me sick just thinking of it!) Good luck saying no!

Sorry I have been MIA, like KC I'm still trying to get into the swing of things! I did go to a deep water aerobics class today, and was pleasantly surprised to burn almost 500 cals in a hour..I didn't think it would be that much. I loved it!

BTW, anyone else a huge So You Think You Can Dance fan?? I'm so excited for next week!!!!!!!!

OMG! Katie, I use to be the same way, esp in high school. I would drink 4-6 cans a day of mt dew as well!!!It was like my comfort drink!!! When I had a bad day at school or was just stressed from being the "fat girl" I would go home and drink it away!Once in a while I have 1 mt dew, but my MIL likes to keep Pepsi or Coke in the house, and its bad, I was doing good for a while with the water and putting one of those drink mixes, like the crystal light pink lemonade, but then I just stopped, I need to go back to that....

How is everybody? Happy Friday! I have managed to come well under today by eating a lot of low fat pre-prepared food and doing a shedload of exercise and cleaning like a dervish.

I am currently dreading Sunday as am going to a friend for a BBQ, and dreading trying to keep it acceptable without looking rude and not eating hat she has prepared :-\

Hope everybody has a lovely weekend x

Happy Friday to you, too! Sorry I;ve been MIA ladies, but Patrick (6 weeks!!) decided sleeping just isn't for him. I think he's cutting a tooth, already!! We have a pedi appointment in half an hour for it.
It's been rainy and miserable here all.week.long. My exercise has consisted of wearing the baby around the house because it's the only way he is calm. But this not sleeping thing is really affecting my weight, and I don't like it...:yawn:

Hey Ladies!
I hope that everyone had a good week and weekend! Sounds like everyone has kept very busy the past couple of days.
This weekend we started laying out and digging the footings for the upper level of our deck. I opened up our pool and spent a good portion of yesterday cleaning it. It is ready to go now though, and DH and the little one took the first swim of the summer this evening. YAY! We spent most of the weekend outside doing all this, so I am really happy and feeling wonderful--look what some sun will do for ya! Anyway, I have been horrible about tracking my food on here this week. Coming back from last weekend was rough! I am going to start getting it together again tomorrow and sticking to it though.
I'll see you all on the new thread tomorrow. Have a good night ladies!!
