Hello everyone, having a grotty day here. Have woken up with a bad headache, all I want to do is go back to sleep but Rob is at work (when isn't he :huh: ) so I have to look after the boys :huh:. Hope that everyone has had a great weekend, and I will try to pop back later (head depending!!) xx

Marla - sorry to hear about how the 'home' is treating your mother in law, but at least she is aware of it and in her own way rebelling. Lori - I wish you luck with your garden projects, and enjoy spring break. Bobbi - good luck with the workouts and isn't it nice when our hubby's get all posessive Shuntae - well done on…

Marla - sorry to read that more rubbish has come your way, we are hear for your to vent to whenever you need to. Lori - I love the passage that you wrote, and it all makes sense. Hopefully that's why we will win, as we have each other :drinker: I have changed my goals, to aim at losing 1lb a week so my calories have…

You guys make me smile..... I love the peeps picture, and we can not get these over in the UK :frown: Lori, I feel for you. I still can't exercise right, my back twinges every time I bend down..... so am avoiding my dvds. Am walking as much as possible, and am putting some time in on the bike (gently). Look after yourself,…

Thank you for replying to me - I was panicing that I couldn't have my coffee - no sugar would mean no coffee as I can not stand sweeteners! I have 3 little ones asleep and for some unknown reason I am watching hercules :happy: , going to go and sort out the washing etc while I don't have to referee or supervise :bigsmile:…

Ok weird question - does no sweets also include no sugar in my coffee? I will fail miserably if it does :embarassed: Boys woke me early this am - have already done 17 minutes on the bike, the first load of washing is done and now need to get the 2nd on or I won't get John's sheets washed and back on his bed today :huh: Wil…

Well I am actually happy with scales this morning - I have actually lost some!!! Don't have my car at the mo (hubby has borrowed it as he can't get to the site that he is working on without one!), so am enjoying the walking with the kids. Walked the boys to school this morning, and walked back home with one!! They have…

Marla, I am so sorry to read what your brother in law is up to. I am a great believer that what goes around comes around, and so believe that he will get his, but unfortunately this doesn't help doe sit :frown: I will hold you and your family in my thoughts, and pray that something turns up to help you with this. Love to…

Morning all, Hopeing to get the weekly shop done today on limited funds... will be adding it up as I walk around the store glad that litle Chris will be at nursery and will only have the baby mindee. I agree that Jeannie looks great in the red dress and when I see the picture it makes me want to lose the weight. I am…

Wow you are dedicated, well done on the determination and good luck. Well hello everyone, I have had one of those days. Just when you think things are going ok, something comes along and goes wrong!! Well I managed this with dinner tonight...... I put the chickens in the oven to roast at 1pm, and thought at gas mark 4 they…

Hello all, I am brginning to see a trend as to how our husbands are ie not completeing a job they start or being unmotivated to even start it!! Rob used to be really good, but lately its like getting blood from a stone to even get him to start a new 'job' so I am actually paying someone to do jobs that I know Rob could do…

:laugh: :laugh: OK, I will have to remember that Tanya speak doesn't always make sense (Samuel asked me yesterday if I liked talking rubbish, so should of listened to him :wink: ):wink: . I meant losing, as in not looking after them anymore. I have 'lost' a child before :blushing: I walked out of Samuels infant school and…

Good evening from over the pond. Thanks Tamara, the back is still twinging but is feeling more comfortable so managed 30 (slow) minutes on the bike today. Have had a weird sort of day, thought at one point I was losing another minded child but hopefully this has been adverted! Am now watching firewall with my eldest son,…

Evening all, Bobbi - my back is still hurting but I have just done a slow (for me!) 20 minutes on the bike this evening, and although my back aches I feel better about myself. Lori - you are so good, I would of probably of killed dh by now. Glad that your hot tube is operational and that you can enjoy it. Marla - good luck…

Will say hello all, I have managed to get all 3 little darlings asleep (2 of them sound like darth varder!!) and I have turned the tv off and am sitting here in silence!! - sort of!! Its lovely, but I am sure there is other things that I should be doing........... nah, can't think of anything so will sit here and enjoy my…

Thanks Lori, I currently have 2 of the 3 little one asleep and trying desperately to get little Christopher to give in, so that I can have 1-2 hours quite time (I might get him to sleep if his 12 year old brother leaves him alone!). You are so right that the back effects everything - I can't pick the boys up properly…

Morning from the UK, Feeling all out of sorts over here - back is killing me so can't exercise properly other than walking and even thats a challenge with the children and the buggy! but hey ho, will have to carry on and let it sort itself out Just want to say a quick hello to everyone, before I go and get busy - put…

Marla - you are amazing and if things are just then the a hole of a brother in law will get what he deserves. This has happened to my family, with my uncle moving my grandparents first into sheltered accommodation and later into a dementia home. My grandad passed away last year and I found out through facebook and he…

Thank you for your mothers day wishes. I won't forget Fathers Day, but think that Rob will be out of the country so won't have to get anything anyway :wink: :wink: Marla - you and your family are amazing and I hold you all in my thoughts. Lori - sounds like you had a productive weekend (work wise) and as for dh - aren't…

Bobbi, it didn't get alot better, I took 3 of my 4 boys (ds2 has gone to a friends for the day) to see my step mum for the first mother's day since my dad passed away! The boys played with the the lego and blew some bubbles with nan, but when nan gave John the bottle everything went wrong, and he spilt bubble liquid all…

Marla, I hope that hubs gets the help he needs, my thoughts are with you and your family It is Mothering Sunday here in the UK, and at 10.15am I am so not impressed with my children!! No card or anything, except what John made in reception class and a card from one of the minded children. My boys are bickering, winding…

Marla, you could be my nurse any day. I would prefer the no nonsense approach compared to the softly softly way. My thoughts are with you. Look after yourself as well, and so glad that you got 9 hours sleep (part of me can't wait for Rob to go away with work as I tend to get more sleep when he is away! ) Check in later, t…

Marla - I hope that dh is ok, and that you re as well. Actually got some sleep last night, but feel more out of sorts now than before. Going to try for a gentle ride on the bike today, hip still aches/hurts but if I ride slowly it might work itself out. Also need to walk to the shops and get a windscreen wiper for thes…

Jan, I don't have an exercise routine, but just try to fit in what I can when I can - I walk the boys to school and walk to collect them, walk to the shops etc when the weather permits ( as ds4 would get the right hump if I made him walk in the rain - actually all 4 boys would have the hump :laugh: ). I try to do my…

You say good night and I say good morning :laugh: Well I did 60 minutes on the exercise bike on wednesday and have only been able to do minimal exercise since - have hurt my hip....... sorry will have to check back later have an adorable 2 year old demanding sausage!!

Morning from the uk, tracking/logging food. I think I can do that, although also think I need to take a step back alitlle - was sitting in Costa Coffee yesterday franticly trying to update mfp on my blackberry and crashed it, I felt so low that I couldn't get onto the site! Will check back later, need to do breakfasts and…

Evening everyone - just checking in. When I typed up my calories at lunch time - putting dinner in as well I was 700+ calories over my allowance....... so 1 hour later on the bike 1000+ calories burnt and we are ok again :happy: Will check back tomorrow, sorry for the short post, need to get some sleep

Marla, your post has brought a smile to my lips for the first time since collecting my children from school at 3.10pm ( nearly 2 hours ago!). Thank you for sharing

Hello all, Have done an hours walk this am, 21 minutes on the bike and am hopeing to walk back to school this afternoon but the sky has gone very dark! Don't think that a last minute workout will help me tonight - just ate 120g of chocolate that I got for my birthday :huh: :huh: Have a great day all

Morning from a sunny but chilly england. Going to do as much walking today as possible, and am aiming at restating the 30 day shred - had to stop as bruised the palm of my hand quite badly and couldn't put any pressure on it - so I am going to wear the gloves I brought for when I use the rowing machine and see if they…
