Yup...

Hi ladies! Blue sorry you aren't sleeping well, that sucks. And man that second vaca is coming up quick! Terrie, I've never made it to level 3 :smile: so good for you for getting there. Jen, hey that sounds like a solid workout to me! I've been sick with something the past week, stomach related... I'll spare you the…

I feel like I should think about taking measurements too... But that just may depress me too much. This is my last week of eating and doing what I please as I plan to start being more aware of what I'm eating and trying to be active 3-5 days a week, boo. Bring it on February!

I lived in Spain in college (studied abroad) for 6 months. So amazing, I want to go back so badly. Charlie is getting back into his normal happy go lucky grove for the most part. He has his moments, but honestly I feel pretty lucky. He slept almost 7 hours last night! We went to mom and baby yoga today and we had a new…

Hi ladies. Not much to add here but wanted to pop in and say hi. My kid is driving me bananas these days... He had his 2 month appt yesterday and had his shots so he's been less than pleasent. We are also having to change up his sleeping habits (was using a vibrating chair) so he can fall asleep on his own... Sigh. I think…

I go back at the end of March, so I've still got awhile :) I'm the total opposite of you Blue, I come home and get all the laundry done ASAP, can't stand to have it around ha

Hi ladies, happy hump day! You guys moved fast the past few days. I love love love Hawaii. We usually stay in kihea when we are in Maui. I've been to Oahu (didn't love it) and Kauai which was my favorite. David and I were thinking of even booking a last minute trip before I go back to work, but it's either that or a trip…

Go go Jen and clam!

Hi ladies, happy Monday. Terrie- well I shredded once last week haha. I'm hoping to get 3 days of it in a week, and even more if I can. I started with 5 lb weights and I prob should have started lower :smile: Jen - yay for not having to drop weights. And I hear ya on the non strength stuff, I gotta get some cardio in. My…

Happy Friday ladies! Clam good luck sans patch, you can do it. I did 30 ds yesterday and man oh man am I out of shape. I walked a crap ton yesterday too so my legs are feeling it today. Hoping to get more shred in this weekend. David is leaving for New York tomorrow - Wednesday, wish me luck!

Aww Blue - she's gorgeous! How exciting for you. What a tiny little thing. Vancouver, fun! have a good time. Terrie - free home gym? Amazing! I want one. Clam - YAY good for you. We'll be here to remind you daily that it's a great idea haha. Finally feeling better today. I got in a good long walk up a very very steep hill…

Morning ladies! CLAM! You're here! QUIT SMOKING! Blue - oh babies taking their sweet as* time. She'll be here before you know it. I did not keep my date with J only because I've come down with either a really bad cold or the flu the past few days ugh. Once it goes away and I can breath, it's game on. How was your trip!?…

Hi Ladies! Blue - have so much fun on your cruise and soak up some sun for me!! Jen - I wish I had the option of a free gym. My old job had a pretty nice gym in our office and it was $15 month.... the did donate all the money to a different charity every month so that was nice. I pay $60/mo for mine which sucks but it has…

Hi ladies! Quick check in (as they seem to go these days). HI TERRIE! Good to "see" you. 2 lbs will come off in no time. Blue - the in-laws visit was long... they just left on Monday. Thankfully they weren't around the whole time, but were less than helpful while they were here unfortunately. Oh well, it's done and over…

Morning ladies, quick check in today. In-laws are finally gone WHOO HOOO. It has been a long long two weeks. Don't have much to report today, just wanted to come and say hi. I can't believe that Christmas is next week you guys, where the H did time go? Jen - that sounds like fun! Hope you guys have a good Monday :smile:

Ugh Blue - sorry about the sleepless nights. Charlie is actually a pretty good little sleeper for being so little. He'll go about 4 hours, nurse, then another 3-3.5 hours. What I wouldn't give for 6 hours of straight sleep though. We've started introducing a bottle, so I think it's David's turn to wake up with him tonight…

Hi gals - was just on here checking in real quick and thought I would pop in and say hi. FB is definitely easier :) Jen - such a busy day. Good luck! And I agree with Blue - no wonder your knee hurts haha. I finally got on the scale today - 168.5 which is 18.5 pounds over my pre-preggo weight. I'm anticipating a few more…

Haha, yeah the 20th. I agree about it being important time, and also kiddo won't start day care until April 1st and right now my first day back would be March 28th or something so we'd have to find care for a few days... so a few different reasons to tough it out. Also, if it's only half days I'm working I think I can…

Well I'm planning on working through Thursday, I'll have my day off on Friday (which is paid) and then we'll just play it by ear on Monday. Likely Thursday will be my last day though... I'm just trying to get more time on the other end :smile:

Yay for no meetings. I Just finished cleaning my desk, so am officially out of things to do for the day today...

Morning ladies! Still here :smiley: Jen- sorry about the food poisoning. I can't even remember the last time I've had that. Sounds like you had quite the end of the week last week. Thank goodness for your "easy" Monday. Look at you go with the weights! Whooo hooo. I used to be a 36DD... Do you have a Nordstrom Rack…

Haha I was actually just thinking I needed to check in. I've been super busy at work this week training my replacement so unfortunately non-work related things take a back seat, BOO. I am still here though, and baby is still cookin away. Had a Dr. Appt. yesterday and I didn't show and progress from last week, although she…

Welcome Mish - totally fine to jump in. We actually started this thread last November and since then have all pretty much finished the program. Jen is on to super charged, Blue is still trying to decide what to do and I am pregnant so there hasn't been much lifting for me the past few months! Definitely was sore in the…

Sigh, that's so nice... stupid US

Haha yah MFP doesn't like those swear words Jen - naughty naughty! Good luck with your day today, sounds like quite a bit of running around.

Yeah, honestly I wouldn't even mind not being paid (although man 60% for a year is awesome). It would just be nice to have the option to stay home and not lose your job. You miss so much in that first year.

US Maternity leave sucks so bad. I get 6 weeks paid (from disability leave), then I can use my vacation/sick time which will amount to roughly 1 month of pay. You have the option to take up to 4.5 months from work (which I am), but only 2.5 months of those will be paid for. I'm so jealous of Canada/Europe. It makes so much…

ahhh sand and sun. I want to go! :)

Yeah I think it will definitely be a good getting back into it program for sure. I'd like to couple that with couch to 5k... I'm actually REALLLLLLY looking forward to start working out again.

Morning ladies! Quick check-in before I start training my replacement this AM! Blue - I hope you had a lovely Birthday! I feel like I should get a head start on my Christmas shopping with the kiddo coming and all, but then realized that it'll probably give me a good excuse to get out of the house. That and stores keep…
