    Hi Everyone!

    I'm Kimberly and I've been using MFP for about a week now. I live in Minnesota and have been married for 7 yrs. We have a 5 yr old, 3 yr old, and 4 month old (the little cutie pie being the main reason I'm here!) It's time to get serious about losing the baby weight and get back in shape. I've had three children, but I don't want to look like I've had three children!

    My Goals for Today (10/5) are:

    1. Actually drink 8 glasses of water- better for breastfeeding, too!
    2. To not eat my emotions!
    3. Catch up on laundry! I always feel calmer, healthier, and more focused when the house is clean and in order.

    Good luck today! :)

    Hi everyone! Welcome back to those who have been here and welcome to all the newbies:) My name is Beth(most on here call me Ravyn or Rav) I'm a happily married(just celebrated 5 years) mother of 2. Son 8 and daughter 5. I've been a part of this group for over a year now and I love this group:) Sometimes people fall off and we don't see them for awhile but they find their way back here and that's what is so great about this group. We don't condem you for falling off, we just welcome you back with open arms.

    Now I'm sick right now so I have no goals cause I have strep. :( It is rather unpleasant right now. I should be up for moving around and doing things again in a few days. Right now I'm sitting on my couch and feel like my butt has grown roots here because of this sickness. It really sucks cause its absolutely gorgeous outside too! I just wanna go for long walks to enjoy the weather and I wanna get in a few more bike rides before it gets too cold again.

    Well I'm gonna get off of here before I just ramble away about nothing..lol Hope you all have a good day!!

    Well what a difference today for me! I feel tons better and feel like getting out there again!! YAY!!! Too bad my schedule today is not working for that one:( But its gorgeous out and Its gonna stay that way so I am going for a bike ride tomorrow.

    Bratty, make sure you tell Lee that we said HI and that we miss her too!!

    Welcome again to the newbies since we've had more join:flowerforyou:

    Kathy, thank you. I'm feeling much better now!

    So since I'm here rather late in the day for me I'm just gonna skip today and post my goals for tomorrow.

    1. Bike ride as long as I can handle and I'll make sure to go as fast as I can handle. Should be interesting since I haven't done that in a long time...
    2. Laundry and make good use of my clothes line since we are supposed to be clear and sunny for the next like week still LOL I'm so not complaining after all the rain we had before this!!!
    3. Up early to make sure I can get my daughter ready for school easily since its Picture Day. I hope she doesn't cheese it too much in the picture and I'm gonna make sure to do something with her hair that she can't mess up before they head down for pictures...I just hope she gets the pictures done before lunch or she'll have food on her face. Gotta love 5 yr olds and their eating habits... lol

    Well I'm off to see what I can do around here to keep myself busy and outside:love: Laters!!

    Goals for Oct. 7

    1. Walk with Beth in the morning-Yes!
    2. Make better choices-Not so much
    3. Water-nope, can't stop that craving for Soda, ugh!

    My day went pretty good. Went walking with Beth, paid bills, ate some lunch, picked up little one from daycare after the older one got home from school, ate some dinner, and then went on a short bike ride with another friend. Overall, pretty busy day and I'm pooped.

    Not sure about my goals for this weekend, as I have a hard time keeping them.....I'm off for now. Have a good night and great weekend!

    Goals for October 6:
    1. WATER!--Yes.
    2. Stay in 1800 calories.--Yes
    3. Day 5 Week 3 of the ACE plan.--Yes.

    Sorry I didn't get here the last 2 days--VERY busy! Getting ready for a political rally/march next week and it is taking a lot of my time. I also need to finish the jewelry for the charity auction and some Christmas gifts I am working on. Needless to say, I just don't always have the time to get here!
    I am still working on making healthier food choices. Not always easy when fresh produce is so high in price and you have a small freezer! Not always room for all the frozen veggies and also meat, etc. I am doing my best, though.

    kwoodgate--Loved the Frankie Heck shower reference! I remember days like that.
    Fruit has a lot of natural sugar and sugars are carbs. Just go easy on the fruit and try to stay away from simple/processed carbs--those are the really bad ones!

    Rayvn--Lots of prayers that you get that job! I know they are few and far between, I'll be looking soon, too.

    Goals for October 1:
    1. WATER!
    2. Stay in 1800 calories.
    3. Day 5 Week 4 of the ACE plan.

    SO did pretty good all weekend:happy: Saturday was spent out at a piece of property owned by my BIL's family and we were shooting. Found out my son is a heck of a shot actually!! :happy: He had a blast laying there on the ground shooting the little .22 rifle. I on the other hand was happy to shoot both the AR and the AK :love: Then we had a bonfire later in the night there too. They are an actual licensed firing range too. But now we are thinking of getting my son and daughter a youth sized .22 rifle so we don't have to always have them with us to go shooting.

    Then on Sunday we went down to the local State park and hiked a trail. It was different than we usually do because they had cut a maze out in the prairie. We let my son lead the way which means he had to answer the questions on the signs to get us thru it the right way. He did very well:smile: We never got lost once! But it was really hard to walk in there. Tunneling animals left really nasty ruts in the ground and the grasses are really tall and some people had obviously fallen or something on the edges of the pathway. It took us almost 2 hours though walking around in there and it was hot!! No shade from the sun since it was midday...But the kids had a blast and so did me and the hubby:smile: Just glad we did it. We learned alot about prairies while we were there too.

    So I'm taking a rest day which I usually take over the weekend but this weekend was so busy that I didn't get to. I have no goals today except to enjoy the day and maybe get some cleaning done if I feel up to it. My hip hurts after all that walking yesterday! lol

    Hope you all have a great day!!
