I'll have to build up to that many a day. I can do it like.. once or twice a week at MAYBE 200? jumps before I have to stop and then rest the rest of the week lol. I was afraid the knee that's been bothering me would give me problems from jumping, but surprisingly it hasn't really hurt. I take melatonin every night to help…

Maintaining is awesome and glad to hear you're doing well! :)

Sounds like you had a great vacation :) Hope your mom is still getting better and better!

Yeah, I'm actually kind of surprised how much I've enjoyed the walks. I think it helps that I am so distracted by my kids though. Having to make sure they're keeping up, not wandering in to the road, etc. It definitely helps when we're going up and down the many hills in the neighborhood lol. I'm still having to take a…

It's been quiet up in here lately. I really hope everyone is doing ok! My diet has still been pfft. NOT good lol. I've just been giving in to my cravings and my weight has definitely ballooned up. BUT I have learned that I do love walking with my kids around the neighborhood. Got to do it today with just my youngest for…

Hadn't planned on doing anything today b/c I'm sore and just lazy. Daughter joined a girls running group recently and has been enjoying going for walks (and her jogging here and there). Well after her virtual learning, she wanted to go for a walk. Instead of continuing my lazy day... I grunted myself up, got dressed and we…

I tried it. I'm still part of an OMAD group. What I've seen is that it does help those that stick with it to lose weight/control weight a bit better. They get to still eat what they want, but since it's all in one big meal, they're not eating in a surplus and still get to eat whatever. It's just a way that works for them.…

So I jumped rope for the first time (as an adult) yesterday and it didn't go as bad as I thought it would. I still tripped up a lot, but didn't do terrible. I am SORE today though. Sore and bloated like crazy from something. Taking the day off from jumping rope. It's a new movement for me so I don't want to push it too…

Oh and bonus kitten stuff! They've both grown so much. They've almost lost their kitten look. In person they're still small and obviously kittens but in photos they look so grown :cry: Mia (gingerkitty) does the cutest thing to the blanket. She makes biscuits and licks/nurses off of it. Well.. I wouldn't really say nurse…

Hey yall!! Sorry I haven't been posting much. Just not much going on other than the norm. Exercise is still hit or miss with me, BUT I'm trying to get out of the idea that I can only exercise before eating. I just got it in to my head that I NEEDED to do it before eating anything and it just wouldn't even be worth doing…

Thanks yall. This week back on my normal lower carb diet has been ROUGH. Hell, I'm not even keto b/c we have watermelon. I'm not sure if it's keto 'flu' or what but I feel like absolute a-- so I haven't been exercising like I wanted. Only did it twice this week. I mean, I guess that's better than nothing but it's not what…

Fingerprints of the Gods by Graham Hancock I'm not that far in to it. Just haven't found the want to read lately, but think I will to help my stress level.

Lisa. 41yo stay-at-home mom of 3. My superpower is that I can sometimes pass myself off as a normal adult that totally knows how to adult and do adult things. Such as.... I know garbage is picked up on Tuesdays and recycle is picked up every other Friday. /flexes my minimum required adulting!

Almost bed time Since I had an AF headache today that didn't want to go away, decided to just take it easy and figure out what sort of workouts I wanted to do. I need to do more. I'm doing like... not even bare minimum right now and I just need to start pushing myself more I think. WAS supposed to do that today, but just…

Just noticed that it said fried cheese cake at the end of my post. Lol weird. Meant fried chicken. Do have some fried chicken, but I'm fried chicken OUT right now. My kids will eat it though. I've been ok, until I started eating sugary things. I didn't want a cake for my birthday... but I did want cookies and milk. SO…

Thanks y'all ☺️ I did end up doing some row/squats on my new machine. Not sure how many though. Wasn't going to do anything today bc I had to get some labs done, but ended up doing 100 squats on it along with low pulses which burns like crazy!! I need to start making it a part of my morning routine. Dh took some days off…

No exercise today. Stayed up too late working on my project. Little bit of work this morning and it's done finally!! Don't look at it for too long or too close or you'll see that I have no idea how to paint lol. But I tried and I'm pretty happy with it :) So my quads are definitely sore today. Feels like it's the areas…

Hope you're doing great!! FX for the weight to drop off once AF is gone

Welcome!! And yay kitties!

So I ended up buying a bicycle seat cover for the row/squatter. I can see the seat being a problem if you're wanting to do a longer workout which I really want to try doing since I need some serious work on these legs/butt. Lots of options on amazon, but of course I picked the cheapest one I could find that should fit on…

That's awesome! I've always been a bit skeptical of those things. Does it feel like it's actually working? My hubs isn't exactly great with carpentry. He's only made a few things, but he seems to really enjoy it. I mean, he did build himself a shed and plans on building our back deck whenever we have the $$ for it. That's…

Oh geeze. When it rains it pours. Glad you're ok.

Hey everyone! So I actually got my hubs to build me my craft desk! YAY! DH wanted to paint it but I like it as is. Plus this way, I can doodle on it, get the kids to draw on it or put stickers everywhere. Just whatever. I just want it to be a giant mishmash of things covering it eventually :) Already got out the…

Last night wasn't any better unfortunately. Kids once again. Oldest son climbed in to bed first. Not usually a problem until he started smacking me in the face with his arm or stealing my blanket. THEN daughter came in to the room so son had to snuggle up against me all night b/c she started stealing all of the blanket and…

I feel stupid when I dance though. I always want to do dance workouts, but I have like minimal rhythm and just end up feeling ridiculous. Not even sure why since it's just me and the kids and they've seen me acting stupid and don't care lol So got in my exercise. No weights yet... or at all today. Will see how I'm feeling…

Yeah, I'm really not trying to push myself to do like HIIT or anything like that right now. I'd just end up hurting myself and having to stop lol. I'm trying to push myself just a tiny amount for now. Like not taking long slower paced breaks, going at a faster pace for 20-50 strides... things like that. I'm working my way…

I did it on stove top. Put the setting at about a 5/5.5. Once I've added all the toppings I put a sheet of foil over it and heat it until the cheese is melted. I'll have to try it in the air fryer though. What temp and how long do you do yours for?? Thanks! While I'm still at the lowest rung of the fitness level, I'm…

Yeah I'm not too worried about the little bit of popcorn I had. This weekend was pretty ok other than the hangover. Just getting the kids ready for their first day. Daughter has already started, just waiting for my son's first day. So weird that his first day of school will be online, but we'll all adjust pretty quick to…

/HUGS A lot of us are struggling right now and you're doing great just by getting back in to a better routine. You got this :)

Kat- That's a great idea. She has a piggy bank and she does love playing with the money in it. I'm usually hesitant to let her play with it bc she forgets to put it back up, but I will definitely let her play with it more often. Maybe it will help. Won't hurt to try out at least. jade- UGH I'm sorry you're having a rough…
