Stay-at-home-moms 2/9-2/15

I have been doing so good the past couple of weekends - and this weekend - I just all out gorged on cake and stuff I normally wouldn't even want. I don't know why I even put it in my mouth cause it didn't even taste all that good. I am so disappointed in myself. I hate to even look at the scale!!! :mad:

I am not going to let it get me down. I am back to logging in my food and I will exercise today!!! I really want to get toned and fit by the time my hubby comes back home!!! I have to do this!!!!

I understand. I went to visit my family this weekend. I busted my diet. I'm just going have to get back on the horse and do better this week.

Good Morning Moms!! I hope you all had a great weekend. It was a rough one here my oldest came down sick on friday so we are off to the doctor today.

For those who have bad weekends.... I know what you mean for a long time the weekends were my enemy too. Instead of working out all week and not on the weekends I take off a weekday or two and then workout on the weekends it helps me to know I am still trying and then I am more careful about what I eat. GOOD LUCK!!

I'm back (so to speak)!

Thanks for keeping the threads going, Lyn & Jules!

Lori - I hear you on the stupid cars. :grumble: DH's is making a lovely CLANK CLANK CLANK noise right now. Awesome! Good luck dealing with the b.day cake!

Hello everyone else! i'm trying to be good & not on here as much b/c I actually did accomplish things last week while I was computer-less. Welcome to the newbies!

Jules thanks for starting the thread this week. I had an interesting weekend as well. I don't know what my deal was. Saturday I didn't eat enough during the day so after dinner I just binged. And then Sunday I told my DH that I wanted Peanut butter M&Ms Peanut butter Twix and a butterfinger. So what does he do....he goes and buys them. And even worse I ATE THEM!!! Yes all 3!!! The only one that tasted good was the M&Ms everything else was gross...I don't know why I continued to eat them. Then I was so sick...I don't know what possessed me. But I made the choice to eat them and now I have to suffer the consequences. Next time I will know better. Next time I will just have a handful of M&Ms to kill the craving....not 3 candy bars :mad:

Sara is back!!!! YEA we missed you so much!!!!! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: I too am trying to cut down my time on here. Although everyone is really great and supportive, it's amazing how much time goes by while reading threads and responding to people. I hope you can find a balance.

Lori-sorry to hear about your automobile financial issues. Are you going to make diet soda cake?? I've never made one but I hear it's an excellent way to cut the calories and sugar of a real cake.

Farmgirl-hope your sick one gets better soon!

Welcome newbies!

Today I start my new "job." I will be baby sitting one of my son's classmates before school (7:30-12)and after school (3:30-5). It should be pretty easy considering she is 5 and she and my son can entertain each other. Both of them have "only child" personalities since my son was an only child until last July, and she is an only child until this July. So I'm prepared for arguments and fights and those kind of head strong struggles. I think if we can lay down some rules then everything will go smoothly.
I need to get some errands run today (pay off my car yippee) and get some groceries. Plus I need to get my workout in and figure out what's for dinner.
Hope everyone has a great day!

Hi all, I'm back at it after taking a few days off. I just felt tired and run down, like I really needed a break.
Have a great Monday everyone!

Hello Ladies~ Today was a rough day. I didn't workout since it is my re-coop day and I was hungry all day long. It was just one of those days. Tomorrow will be better!!!

Lenece~ good luck and I hope everything comes back good

drevans~ Thanks!!

loreeb~ the diet soda cake is great I made one for superbowl. I made it into cupcakes and served it with coolwhip free and fresh berries it was a great treat. I used a can of diet sierra mist and a betty crocker vanilla cake mix. Though I am making "real" cake later this week for the kids birthdays and school parties.

Mrsbuzz~ you don't have to deprive yourself of things that you want. just eat them in smaller amounts. If I have to go through the drive through I get a kids meal instead. When I decided to lose the weight I decided that I was still going to eat the foods that I liked and so far so good. Good luck to you!!

Well I hope you get some good news .I will keep you in my prayers.And I am so sorry to hear about your doctor being so rude.

Ugghhh I feel like crap today...I'm going back to bed cuz I cant excercise for 3 days cuz of the biopsy they did which I wasnt b4 that but I have the energy to do it today but cant.... Oh well..I'll be glad when this is all over with..I'm just praying for good news but the way the doctor talked its not good but I'm praying for good resluts...
I have new pics of the family I hope u guys like em..




Well I hope everyone has a good day I think I will lay back down for a few..Have a great day all..:flowerforyou:

Today is bad I am all energised but my foot is killing me just about managed level 2 of 30 day shred (omg what a nightmare think I will alternate between level 1 and 2 as 2 is hard I had to modify soooo much but it was easier on my foot because you dont move as much for strength)

I am hoping to take the dog out to a glen (area of woodland) but this dam wedding cake is in the oven and it takes forever and I have to collect my son from school in an hour looks like we will all have to go then.

Got the third cake to make later it is the top so it isnt very big. Tomorrow is rest day and I will ice the cakes then hopefully it wont take too long. Then I am hoping my foot is better for thurs back to normal workouts and then I need to stick all the flowers onto this cake they are coming to see it thurs night so I will leave it assemlbed til then then it will be boxed ready to deliver on Sat afternoon woohoo I be glad to get it done the only good thing is it paid for wii fit. Its a lot of work though. Moan over.


What gorgeous pictures you guys put up.

Hi all,
This is the 1st time I am posting on this thread. It's just me and the boys hanging out. Daddy's in Iraq, and we're in Anchorage waiting for that blasted volcano to blow:explode:

I'm a little stressed, I have been really trying to get healthy and teach the boys healthier eating and then I had to stock up on non-perishable items...Is there such a thing as non-perishable, real food? UGH!

It's still to cold outside to play out there. I'm guessing we will try to go to an indoor park today. On a brighter side, I am losing this baby weight. I've actually lost 4.5" of off my belly so far.

Orchid - OMG! A volcano! Good luck dealing with all that. I couldn't imagine sitting around waiting for something like that to happen!

Dana - cute pics! I hope you hear back from the biopsy soon! I'll keep praying that even if it is bad news, it is something that you can recover from quickly!

Tazzy - I'd LOVE to see some pics of the cake! I have very little cake decorating skills, but I wish I did! A little extra cash is always a good thing, right!

Westfall - adorable baby pic! I hope she wins! Every dollar counts when it goes towards school!

I got in 2 of my 3 workouts for the day. Woo hoo! Today was speech therapy day so it was nutty to begin with. I need a nap. :yawn:

Hello everyone else! I hope everyone is doing well! It seems like we've lost some people the past couple weeks! Where's Supermom & MechanicMom!?

Oh, Katie! How fun! How did the trip to Montana with Mack go anyways? Did he fly well?
