SAHM 6/1-6/30

Hi girls! Thanks for the welcomes. I did Day 7 of the 30 day shred today -- my one year old started doing squats with me... it was adorable beyond belief. I'm feeling really proud of myself.

So far I'm good without soda, but I know that if we go to the pizza place with my friends and their kids, that Cherry Coke is going to be calling to me......... I'm probably going to have to avoid the pizza place anyway, since they don't even have salads. Just the best pizza in the world. LOL I haven't figured out how to navigate those situations yet.

Nicole, I hope you and your husband had a great time celebrating! Were you able to find anything at the buffet to eat? We've got one here that my husband loves, but he's had to stop going because it doesn't offer anything he is eating right now.

Great job with the sodas Barb! It was true for me that the more hydrated I was the easier it was to drink water.

Thanks Katie and Barb! I do carry DD around on my back sometimes, but she's 55 pounds so it's only for 10 minute spurts.

Nicole-I hope the birthday dinner went well!

Welcome to the new ladies!

Today is beautiful out so we're going yardsaling. About to head out in a minute. I hope everyone has a great day/weekend!!

I'm a SAHM-wanna be.....can I please join? I work full-time but my heart is at home and I am hoping and praying sometime soon we are able to send me home! My daughter will be 1 on the 22nd :-) I have 50 lbs to lose and need to be in better health before we TTC #2.

Rainbow-Brite~I think Jillian hates everyone! Good for you giving it all you've got..show her who's the boss!

It looks like it's been really quiet here lately. I have found I run around more now than during the school year. My son has music M-Th from 11-11:45 2 days of guitar, 2 day of Jazz and he is volunteering at the library from 12-2 on Thursdays also. My oldest daughter has flag practice on Tuesdays and flag camp for the next 3 days 9-3. She performs in numerous parades throughout the summer. I am still working out almost everyday and using what I learned from EVO. I weighed in this morning at 125.4 so if that holds for tomorrow that means I have hit my goal! I don't plan on switching to maintenance mode yet I'm going to keep doing what I've been doing and let my body decide where it wants to stop. I don't care about the number on the scale any longer I would like to drop some more body fat percentages and continue toning some stubborn areas but overall I'm pretty happy with how things have gone.

I did order and receive my new bathing suit, only to find the top is a little too low cut for me to feel comfortable in. It looks okay if I'm standing up but if I bend over to do something there's a 50/50 chance that I'll be showing much more than planned! So I had to order a few other sizes and styles to see what will work. Now I'm waiting and stalking the FED/Ex guy again! If I find one that works I'll be posting my before/after pics soon!

Hope you are all doing well!

Hey girls,
I'm back! I showed a 4 lb gain this morning which isn't too bad as although I started quite restrained I definitely slid rather a long way downhill eating wise!! On the upside, the food tasted gooooooooooooood and we all had a lovely time so straight back on it and hoping to shift a few more pounds before my daughter's christening which is 2 weeks tomorrow.

Lots going on my end still, DS1's 5th birthday party tomorrow, and then he actually turns 5 on Monday - unbelievable!! Then its all systems go to sort things for the christening.

Barb - that is a great milestone! When I left I was only 6 lbs over 'healthy' and I know I am absolutely desperate to get back down to healthy again!!

Victorious one - well done with the drinking and exercise!

Holly - hooray hooray you are at target CONGRATULATIONS! Are you going to do a thread with pics? Would love to see before and after.

I am thinking of buying a Jillian DVD next, is there one you'd recommend? I'm pretty fit but not very co-ordinated and have poor balance, tbh I see it as a means to shift excess fat/ weight and little else, though I know I should probably make comments about wanting to improve my fitness I don't really feel unhappy with my fitness levels where I do the other things!

BlueRose, you are rockin' it out, girl! Way to go!

I've lost 100 lbs since June 7, 2010. Unbelievable! I have about 8 more lbs to get to my ultimate goal, which will put me smack in the middle of normal range BMI. I'm so happy! I think that walking and drinking water had something to do with it. :-)

I've committed to reading all the stuff I have on business development over the summer. I really want to have a very profitable, home-based business. My daughter is older now, so she definitely doesn't need me 24/7. In fact she can cook my dinner and wash my clothes now! :bigsmile:

Everyone have a great day and great week!

Katie M - Awesome job on your ride!! Way to got mama!!

Barb - Wow, you look fabulous!! Keep doing what you're doing, it's soooo working.

Holly - You are so dedicated, love it!! I need to work on that, I tend to be a roller coaster.

Victorious one - WOW 100 pound loss is amazing, what an acomplishment. Great job!!

Katie - Saw your new swimsuit ya posted, too cute. Ur hubby did good.

Ok so, I've been slacking on MFP and doing a half @ssed job on my own. Still haven't lost the 4 pounds I gained while on vacation but also didn't gain more. So, meh, I basically had a month of nada. Going to get to it for sure, my BFF is coming to visit this weekend so I know I'll be drinking more than normal but she and i will walk for hours talking, LOL. Hoping her healthy lifestyle will be a good motivation for me, she's always in great shape and works hard to stay that way. Oh, I also had a neighbor notice that I've lost weight so that was a good motivation to get back to work.
