    Good Morning,

    I'm new to the boards. I joined this sitea few weeks ago to get some motivation for my last 10 lbs of baby weight! I've really been struggling to get it off and find it difficult to stay motivated. I've also had trouble getting into a routine since the kids got out of school a couple weeks ago. But I've exercised 2 days in a row now :smile:

    anyone's welcome! there a #of moms who comeand go.
    i think what's great is we understand the unique challenges of getting fit and taking care of kids. sometimes they go together and sometimes not. :laugh:

    usually i can get the exercise in (now that i've been on here a few months) but it's still really hard for me to stay in my cals. i like and eat the junk still.

    this week, my goal is to stay at 1400-1500 cals and lose at least 1#. i go out of town in 2 wks and want more wt GONE.

    wish me luck! off to eat my lean cuisine with extra carrots on the side. :)

    My kids are still little so I just make them eat what I'm eating and I'm keeping the junk away.

    I'm actually having trouble getting the cals in, and my fat is REALLy low consistantly (13-15grams/day)

    school is out here this week and I think that it's going to be harder for me to get my exercise, i can still do my tapes and wii fit, but If I want to go for a walk I will have to go at a 5 year olds pace, where now I can bring the littlest one in the jogging stroller and huff it :P
    any hints on how to get a good workout with the 5 year old set would be great

    the junk is here for the kids--and for me. i certainly can't blame them as i'm the one in charge. :wink:
    is there a y you can join for just the summer? then maybe you can put 5yrold in the gym.
    have him/her have quiet time while you do dvd/vid. borrow someone's dbl jog?? jungle gym calisthenics?

    i like exercising at home and since i'm in vegas, outside walks get limited this time of year. (i can go early early in am with dog, but not later with kids.)
    anyway, hope those ideas help.

    Good morning! I've been extremely busy the past couple days with Vacation Bible School. I'm the director, so I've got the added stress of making sure everyone is where they belong, getting people to fill in at the last minute when someone can't be there, etc. The men of the church are serving dinner each night. I did well Sunday night. They served pizza, so I was able to get one small slice of cheese and a salad. Last night we had burgers. I was originally going to bring turkey burgers for them to grill for me, but I forgot to bring them, so I skipped the chips. Unfortunately, I had a chocolate cupcake with my burger. We're having subs tonight, so I'm hoping there's some with whole wheat rolls. Again, I think I'll skip the chips tonight too. I'm planning on bringing my own water bottle because all that's being served are sodas.

    I hope everyone is having a good beginning to their week! Welcome Tracy and Misty! :flowerforyou: And welcome back Supermom! :flowerforyou:

    Hello! It must be a busy week for everyone. We just finished Vacation Bible School tonight. I didn't do as well as I had planned, but I didn't do nearly as bad as I did last year. We had the end of the week dinner and party for the kids tonight. I made sure I had plenty of calories left before dinner, and I took my turkey hot dogs for them to grill. I had 2 hot dogs, but no chips. We had a campfire for making s'mores after dinner. I had one, but it was a small one. Even with hot dogs and a s'more, I think I ended up only going over by one calorie today! :happy:

    Now I need to get back on track with my exercising!

    I hope everyone is having a good week!

    so glad to hear the + results and that you are recovering ok.
    don't be afraid of the pain meds--you want to stay ahead of the pain. it's much harder to control the pain once it has escalated.
    be sure to take lots of stool softener and water tho.:laugh:

    sending you lots of get well vibes--:flowerforyou:
