[Susank41]

Morning Moms,
I did Travel Fit this morning. I just wanted to see if I would like it. I will probalby walk this afternoon. I'm glad I will have TF to take with me to Fl in March.
Mel-so sorry about your night..makes me tired thinking about it! I love naps! A 20 min power nap makes me feel fab! Glad you were able to give Jen some drug advice! Yes, Dh is a happer camper this morning lol.
I had to express a little milk..I was hurting! Kara has already been up, nursed a couple times and is back asleep.

Weather is going to be great today. Sunny and mid 60s. Not sure what we are doing today.

Eats so far
old fash oatmeal, walnuts


Oh, Stromboli was good..I am feeling very heavy because of it!

Ok, Im off to shower
Waves to everyone!

Thanks for starting us up, Susan. BTW, did you ever make steel oats in your crockpot?

When DH came home, I made a beeline to my bed....slept a solid two hours. Feel much much better.

I had instant oatmeal, 1/2 sliced banana, slivered almonds for my first breakfast....

Now I just had my staple: 2 eggs over hard & a slice of meatloaf

That seems like alot of food to me! It was as if my first meal "didn't register"?

Last week I had a total wt gain of one pound.

Today I'm down a pound, hopefully this means a productive week.

Melanie-I usually make my steel oats on the stovetop and make a triple batch. I have never tried the crock pot, but heard it works great! So glad you got some sleep!!!!!!

We have been playing dress up with Kara..heres a funny pic

We are headed to Walmart..bbl

That pic is too cute!! Do you make a triple batch, then save two days worth in fridge? What do use to sweeten it?

Did u like travel fit? I did it once & enjoyed it. That is my type of strength training. LOL Not sure what I"m going to do today. Maybe I will follow suit and do that one & some stretching. I'm so stiff all the time. Maybe I could do squat thrusts if I was less stiff!

[Susank41]

Yes, Melanie I save the oatmeal in the fridge. I don't sweeten it..I know Im wierd, but I like my oatmeal plain.
I did like TF..it was a nice change of pace.
ok.fam is ready to leave...bbs

Thanks Kate! Good to see you!

Melanie-great job on your eats today! Mine havent been quite as stellar as yours. I meant to ask you about staying up til midnight...are you a night person or is there another reason?? I have always been a morning person. Its 7:45 here. Kara is on my shoulder zonked out..Im gonna put her down in a few, do a few chores then Im hitting the sack too. Im hoping her going to bed so early doesnt mess her up too bad. She has been laughing all afternoon..we wore her out today.

Jen-hope you are feeling better.
Waves to everyone!!!

Tommorow Im hitting it hard!

[melanalyus]

Susan, did you have fun at Walmart?

I guess I'm a night person? At least without my Ambien & with weeones. LOL!!! DH takes a twin to bed with him around 8PM and they often scream for close to an hour before falling asleep. I have so much to do---straighten up the house, pay bills, make lunches,hang out with DS1, play on the computer ----I would rather stay up later & play I guess. I can do WHATEVER I WANT!!!!

So you think my food menu looks better, huh? It felt so naughty eating the pizza. There are so many good recipes in Abs Diet Book that I"m eager to try. Lots of different smoothie, breakfasts, and lunches that look good. It also allows for one "cheat" meal/week.....which is very appealing to me!!! You can bet that I"ll be swallowing it down with the largest canister of Mountain Dew I can find!!! LOL

Hey everyone! I'm hangin in there, not feeling too bad just sneezing a ton and have the drips. I think I am headed to bed in a few.

That pic of Kara is priceless! I love it! Hope Kara stayed sleeping for you!

Good job on the food Melanie! I hope this new diet jumpstarts some more weight loss for you. THanks for the drug advice. The Allegra helped for awhile today but then it wore off. Hopefully sleep will help.

James laughed out loud today for the first time. It was the cutest thing and a day I will remember. He is just a wiggle worm and such a happy boy.

Just a vent.... my DH calls my MIL to talk and mentions that I am sick. Her response "Well, she shouldn't be around the baby. She'll get him sick!" Really? So am I supposed to quarantine myself from my child? Get a grip woman! She has really started to drive me batty since James was born. I love my DH to death but lord does his mother piss me off! Thanks for that....feel better already.

Have a good night everyone! Mel, hope you got your elliptical fun in!
