Okay...I have a confession to make. I haven't worked out in the past week. Part of it was Thanksgiving *ahem* issues, but mostly it's because I had to make the decision to either put gas in the car or buy a babysitting pass at the Y. I chose to put gas in the car. It's incredibly difficult to make a decision like that,…

He's so CUTE! I just want to squeeze him! He was such a good boy too! I know Darrell would have been kicking and squealing. 3BB - I'm handling it better, I guess. I've resigned myself to it at least. What sweetened it was yesterday we got a call from our realtor about a house we had looked at and weren't too sure about,…

How fun for Alex! I hope you post some pictures of him on that horse if you can! He is adorable. I can understand why everyone loves him! I'm so happy for you guys and hope that you guys have fun today! Good luck with the driving. :ohwell: That's a looooooooong drive with a little one in the car.

3BB, MM - I don't know why my family caters to her. I know the only reason I give in is because if I don't, we'll never see them, and Darrell won't be a part of my family traditions. I wish I could just tell her NO, but it's very difficult. When my mom and dad divorced, she took it really hard and made everyone's life…

Homeschooling is a very personal decision, and for us, it's the best choice. If it feels right, it will be right. You'll figure it out!!! And there's nothing wrong with regular schooling. Both of us went to public schools, and we turned out okay. I think part of it is, I don't think I'll be able to stand being away from…

Hi ladies!!! Well, I've been trying to read through everything, but you guys are so quick!!!! 3BB - We went to the store this morning too! I'm making stuffing this year, and I decided to go for homemade. I've never made it before, so we'll see how it turns out. I got all the way to the checkout line, and realized I didn't…

Oh my gosh, I'm gone for two days and the birth stories begin. Yay!!! I :heart: :heart: :heart: birth stories because they always show how strong we women are and no matter how difficult things are, we always push through (literally haha) and in the end we get a beautiful baby. So here's mine: The ONLY night DH and I…

My mom said she heard this morning that Sears and Kmart are closing down next year too. Not as immediate, but it raises the question: WHERE WILL WE SHOP?????? :smile:

Oh, and Marla, you're only as old as you feel. And the past week, I felt about 80. I used to be able to wear a leather corset in a car for 8 hours and be completely comfortable, then go to a show and have fun until 1 or 2 in the morning. Well, I tried to wear my leather corset in the car, and had to take it off about 20…

And make sure that you don't weigh the week before TOM!!! Or the week OF, for that matter. That is just incredibly depressing as well.

Hi ladies! I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaack. We had a tough couple of weeks here at Loki Fae ranch. But now DH is back and things are going a little easier. Although NOW we have Thanksgiving and Christmas to get ready for. :sick: I didn't read through all the posts because...There was a lot of them, and I need to get Darrell ready to…

We use ground venison in anything that calls for hamburger. It's very lean (to the point where if you fry it for tacos or hamburger helper you don't even really have to drain it) and about as organic as you can get. We also have venison steaks and roasts once in a while. You can use it pretty much exactly the same as you…

They have a really great dijon mustard at Jimmy John's that you could try. Or just ask them for very easy mayo and they won't put very much on. I know they have mayo packets there, and probably light mayo if you ask them.
-
MM - Of course I'll pray for Alex! I hope he feels better soon, and I hope you get a little time to relax sometime soon. Marla - I am so sorry to hear about your husband. It's a really tough time for everyone in this economy, but especially with nine kids to raise. I'll be praying for you as well. 3BB - Darn your silly…

I'm here! I just haven't really had much to contribute. I'm on a serious plateau, and it is really starting to suck! I'm still plugging away, but I've just been a little frustrated b/c of the plateau situation. AND I've been a baking machine. I have a lot of friends who are having Halloween parties this year and they've…

3BB - I didn't even see your post about your friends! I don't know how I missed it. I will definitely add them onto our prayer list. MM - I'll just copy the picture here. Your son is so cute! I love that curly hair!

3BB - Go do those pushups!!!!!!! :laugh: And thanks! That's one of my favorite pictures of him. I didn't work out yesterday and I overate, but this morning I had lost, so I'm happy. I'm going back to the gym today. I just REALLY didn't want to yesterday. Definitely post pictures of your little ones, 3BB, and MM, you too if…

Hi everyone! 3BB - It sounds like you need a day off! I hope you get some time to rest, hopefully this weekend. Well, I had my cheat day yesterday, and now I'm all puffy. LOL I hate that. I get to eat whatever I want (usually salty stuff like pizza etc.) and then the next day my face and hands are all puffy. Oh well, I'm…
-
Thank goodness, it's my day off from the gym! I never thought I'd make it!!!!! My whole body hurts, but in that good way. :smile: HM - Ditto what 3BB said. I am DEFINITELY not a runner. I've had DD boobs since puberty, and I can't run without a lot of pain. I wish I could though! I always see people running on the street…

Hmmm...What IS my favorite thing about being a SAHM? Probably everything. I worked for a little while after he was born, and I was so miserable. I felt like I wasn't seeing him at all, and he changes so much in so little time. I mean, he wakes up from a nap and he's different. I love knowing all his little triggers, and…

He came out almost life-size! Yikes! I made it a little smaller. :laugh: Edit: And thank you!

Here's my little bubby boy in his costume...

I don't watch calories when I'm sick. I had a wicked icky flu-like illness a couple of months ago, and I ate what I wanted. It wasn't much, but it included mashed potatoes and my husband's homemade macaroni and cheese. But I was so sick I was more into sleeping than eating and it didn't do me any harm. Please just eat what…

Hey! I'm here! I didn't see the new week. I thought everyone had up and left me here all alone. :frown: But no one did. :bigsmile: I haven't been hitting my water goals. I've been trying and trying, and chugging water like it's going out of style, I just can't hit my goals. Every day I'm thisclose. Oh well, all I can do is…

I've had to drag myself a couple of times this week, and I felt 100000000000000% better after I went. So just go! :tongue: :flowerforyou:

Can you have things like rice crackers or pasta? Rice pasta is quite good, I think. I'm sure other people have better suggestions, but you should look into your rice options. Some of them are very good.
-
Yay! I'm so glad to see you back! I was just wondering where you have been. Don't beat yourself up about the 5 pounds. That's easy to take off, and next to 56 pounds, it doesn't look like anything. You can do it!

Is it almost TOM? I know that I really lost my momentum when my TOM was coming up on me and I could hardly get through my workouts. If your ears are feeling plugged, they may need to be cleaned out, and that could account for dizziness as well. I used to feel plugged like that too, but DH and I candle our ears every month…

I LOVE Better than sex cake. Devil's food cake that you make holes in, heat up some caramel, cover the cake with it after it cools, cover with whipped cream and heath bars cut up. Mmmmm...

When I get conflicting numbers like that, I always go in the middle of the road. I, personally, would log it as about 450 calories.
