Very stressful mommy day and I just want them to get in bed already so tomorrow can hopefully get better! I just want to crawl somewhere and hide for a…

Get this: going to applesbees I would have normally devoured atleast 1500 if not 2000 calories between my buffalo wings & ranch then my dinner then sometimes desert..we are looking probably a normal…

GM everyone. Was excited to see the scale moving in the right direction this morning! Lost 3 lbs this week, unfortunately its part of the 4lbs I gained while visiting with family. On the bright side though I have had a lot of sodium lately and not enough water so I think if I get on my water hard this next week i will see…

OH DUH I didn't even think there would be a preset % , that's what I get for not even looking first :laugh:

You guys have a better handle on the percetages stuff then I do, what would be a place to start for a non-runner? That's something I haven't really looked at but I'd like to give it a shot and see where i'm could go. Maybe that would help me work on something since i'm not up for working out right now.

WOW trish, I could follow you on the first math post but that second one ya lost me girl LOL I hope everyone get's to feeling better, i've never had a cough like this before and it's hurting my chest. I still haven't been up to working out, I could hardly walk my ds to school w/o a horrible coughing fit so i'm just taking…

when I was pressed for space in my living room (my area rug size 5x8 was all the space I had ) I did jumping jacks, squats, cruches, arm curls. I even tried to jump rope but that was more successful outside. even jog in place was a fall back on some days. anything to get moving, used my couch so I could do dips. That was a…

Thank you all for your advise. I did take a long hot shower and that seems to have helped a bit, still coughing but not feeling like I have so much junk in my chest. I do think my being tired so much this week is now because I was fighting this crud even though I didn't feel it yet, but I know my kiddo's had it. Not going…

Hey all, still trucking along over here :) I haven't entered food in my diary but I think I've been doing fairly well. I would like to set some mini goals on here so I am accountable for them. Lately with dh gone I am not even accountable to myself. I have been introduced to "Jack the Germ" so my kids call it. Their…

Yesterday was pretty good, no luck on tackling the garage but I think your right stacey that's probably a little to ambitious right now. I did however make bread, had lunch with a friend and experienced our second big earthquake in a month...Definately not like the one last month but it still got my heart rate up there.…

The rest of my day went a little better, unproductive but I had ME time. I still couldn't get a grasp on any energy so I had yet another cup of joe at my friends house. That seemed to perk me up a little just being down there and talking with good friends plus the coffee made me feel 100% better. Kids played great together…

Afternoon, well I had a wake up call yesterday when I stepped on the scale up 4lbs. Motivated now to get it before it becomes a problem like before, I would love to get atleast 10lbs down when dh gets home ( 2 if not 3mo from now) I know I can do it but I'm having a very hard time with my energy. Anyone have any…

That's exactly it, I hate to see him go but i'm trying to look on the bright side and that was the first thing that came to mind LOL Less food to get ready & worry about, already noticed the laundry is a lot less to! No idea how long he will be gone, he headed to FL to help with the haiti situation so I'm going to make the…

Hello ladies, wow do I need to get in here everyday. The family reunion was great, I ate in moderation for the most part but I still havn't gotten on the scale to see where i'm at. I want to maybe give myself a few days and then hop on there. I hope to find some renewed motivation, my dh will be gone for an unknown amount…

I'm off of here for atleast a week, I have a family get together to go to for my grandmothers 80th b-day. Should be a lot of fun (crosses fingers) family we haven't seen in a long time it should be a good time.…

Hello awsome group of sahm :smile: I can't seem to get in a routine lately and it's been even harder to get on here and talk with some of my favorite people. I do have some exciting things to share though, I have had a lot of fun trying to be frugle and making things homemade. I just started making my own bread and i'm…

I usually drank about 90oz a day but haven't really since xmas so I upped my challenge for the heck of it..My husband thinks i'm nuts but I challenged HIM to drink that much with me tomorrow :tongue: I washed…

We are doing great, it took the kids a few days to go upstairs by themselves but now they are fine. My little one is still a little jumpy with loud noises but it won't take her long to forget about it. There are alot of other families that didnt fair so well, especially a lot of the older homes so we are thankful, it could…

Thanks ladies for the suggestions, I will see what I can find at the store w/ my coupons LOL but will definately stay away from the garden burger stuff, not my cup of tea. I have tried a boca burger ages ago and I really liked that, my only complaint was it was dry but I added a pineapple slice and it was AMAZING! Will…

Hi all, long time since i've dropped in. I was looking forward to my ds going back to school today but he decided to switch it up a bit and get sick around 5am. Then my dd decided to do the same about 20min later, 2 sick babies throwing up all over me and my bed LOL why can't this stuff happen when my dh is home? I finally…
-
I brush my teeth right after dinner and only allow myself water. I hate to have to brush them again right before bed so that keeps me from snacking. I've also resorted to the teeth whitening strips if I really really want something then I really dont' want to eat anything LOL

That's a great idea, I have a ton of rice to!

You have to go to a good bike shop in your area. They will help with all your questions and fit you with the right bike. I never knew there were so many variables when picking out a bike until I stepped into a bike shop and wanted to take one home. There are so many great ones out there so good luck! I'm hoping to do some…

Nicolee- no sweat on the 100 over, like stacey said it's the 1000+ days you should be worried about. Go for a walk to day to offset your 100 and you'll be feeling great! So far my holiday overeating has been under control. We are driving down to spend christmas with my grandparents and I don't think there is going to be an…

I will have to try the apple, sounds tasty! I usually stick with 2tbs raisans, 1/2 tbs peanut butter & a dash of cinnamon + stevia! I also sometimes put in small spoon full of applebutter so I'm sure the real apple chunks will be delicious!
