Clean eating is not easy any day, but especially not this day.

Do any of the other moms dig thru their child's candy and pick out what you want? (peanut butter cups!)

Do the best you can today!
 
lol, too funny! prior to the party last night i was absolutely itching for some candy, to the point i ALMOST dipped into the candy corn. i was just hoping there would be candy at the party. sighhh. never found any. yesterday was clean as a whistle, and i am almost disappointed;)

okay, question for all you mommies, perhaps with kids older than mine (finn - 3.3yo). the party last night was outside. our friends have twin 5yo boys and a 3.5 yo boy. it was a big party - probably 30 kids and their parents. it was organized chaos. there were games, but it was random. i personally hate big parties. i hate big get togethers. i am shy by nature, and i have a few close friends but not tons of acquaitences. i knew 2 other people at this party, 4 other kids, so it was not my cup of tea. finn kind of hunckered down with some toys with wheels and watched. he did not really follow the treasure hunt, but he also has not really done them before. he had a few moments of bad behavior, but i really thought it was mostly b/c he was nervous. does that make snese? so, i am glad we went, b/c it was something to do for a few hours outside, but i truly did not have fun, talked to no onw but my kids really, and my kids did not really "get" the whole party thing. is that normal? is it a function of age? am i projecting my own shyness on them??

sorry for the novel so early.:eek:

i am dreading this daylight savings time for 2 reasons - my kids don't know they get to sleep in, and it screws up my wo time. ah well, we will adjust. i got up and did a 5 mile tempo run and then got off the tm and did mic insanity. i wanted to run farther but was really bored on the tm today. need to walk the dog this am and go to the park, do major clean max, and figure out how to do a big grocery shop without my kids. my dad is coming over later for pumpkin carving and trick or treating. is it bad pms is here for the next 3 days???? and, i peeked at the scale and it is DOWN:cool:, so, i better get rid of this candy fast.

my favorite? special darks or york pepermint patties:p
 
funny title :D

Katie anything with chocolate and mints, so I try to buy hard candy to give out.

Nina oh I forgot about the pep patties...luv them too. Having a big party for kids that age is crazy but can be done if they get a clown, magician etc. Kids that age have a short attention span so many things have to be planned in advance and it needs to move fast. I lean that from my girlscout leader days.

I had a very long day at work yday and very little drama. I'm so tired today so I guess I should take a rest day.:confused:...fatigued is a better word. Did not eat clean yday because I got chinese take out last night. So I guess I should detox for 2 days now.....oh wait it's Halloween.:rolleyes:
 
Good Morning Everyone!

No candy in this house for Halloween! Yeah!!!! No temptation on Monday because my office is collecting candy to donate to the troops. Now if I can avoid buying candy crack for a few more days I will make it. Today's workout is MIC but I may run during the hi/lo portion and finish with step. It depends on whether or not it rains.

Katie, hope you don't get Collin's cold.
Nina, sorry the party was not good last night. I think a treasure hunt is hard for a 3 year old to understand.
Kate, have fun with the girls today.
Robin, drink lots of water to help you make it through the next couple of days.
 
Colleen thanks for the advice and maybe that's why I feel so wipped...dehydrated. We can't drink a lot of water at work only during our break:rolleyes: 2 liters of water should do it.

I just ordered Jari Love dvds from Netflix (new one and get ripped 1000). I want to see if I like it before I buy it.
 
Happy Halloween!

Busy day again! Dance til 3:45, then getting the girls ready to go out. And we have my family and MIL coming over along with a few friends so I have to tidy up. Workout will be cardio-maybe some HIIT-quick and tough. I do have some DOMS from yesterday's workout-mainly in my glutes and hamstrings. I'll take it!;) We got our H1N1 shots yesterday too-and it wasn't bad. We were done in an hour and that includes drive time and waiting in line. I'm glad that's done!

Katie, Darrin and I smuggle chocolate from the girls' stash!

Kate, how was your party last night?

Nina, Nevena is very different at parties than she is at home. Here she doesn't shut up but when we're out she can be clingy and shy. It's the age, I think. Do you have to do ALL that stuff today? Can some of it wait til tomorrow so you're not so rushed?

Robin, rest and water-good idea! Chinese sounds good-and bloaty! What are your kids going out as?

Colleen, what a great idea for the candy! Maybe I can persuade the girls to do something like that-or trade it in for a toy-educational of course!;)
 
Nina, Good for you on clean eating even tho you didn't want to!:p
I think a lot of 3yo's parallel play still BUT perhaps you do project some shyness. I get waaay introverted at parties too
I'm glad it's going well with your parents:). Hope you have fun w/ your dad. I'm sure he's happy to have things going better w/ you lately.
I dread the time change too - messes w/ the babies too much:(.

Robin, Glad work went well. Have fun tonight! Are your kids dressing up?
Hope you like the Jari's.

Colleen, No Hween candy here either but plenty o' brownies!:eek: I only bought a small amt of candy corn from teh bulk bin and that got ate really fast - glad it's gone!
Have a fun WO!

Klaudia, YAY for DOMS! I'm ready for some! :)
Hope you guys have fun tonight!
The party was so-so. The people that were there we really aren't friends with but it was ok. All the girls were just so tired and DONE by that point. sigh.....

-
Mike took DDs to swim class so I need to get some things done. Just wanted to take longer than 2 secods to say HELLO!!! I missed you glas this week!!!! I should be back to a little more normal now. Well, as normal as I can get!:D:confused:

DDs are looking forward to TorT tongiht - I am too - hope the weather holds up! There are no neighborhoods on our street so we're going near my mom's house. We'll meet up w/ my bro and his wife & kids - looking forward to seeing them. We'll TorT alone tho:).

We've gone this entore week w/ NO WORKOUTS. I can't even describe how busy we were this week. It was nuts. Looking forward to getting back to Insanity and clean eating. Boy, we did some damage this week. Ugh.

I need to wish Pomai and VERY HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY!!!!

Hope the party is a huge success!!!! Have fun!
 
oh no, kate... you and me BOTH!! today was a disaster. i actually avoided halloween candy completely until today and then splat, it (and everything else in sight) attacks me =(
 
klaudia, yay for doms!! glad you got your h1n1, still none in mass.

robin, i own jari's rttc and have used slim and lean and the orig ripped from the lib. they can be a bit monotonous compared to cathe, music is bland, etc. but the workout is good and i do like her personality.

colleen, lol at candy crack! good for you avoiding it up to this point!

nina, i am dreading turning the clocks back as well. not JJ is such a great sleeper as it is. not sure about the party, no advice from me there, sorry.

katie, i am so trying to avoide the candy bag but mmmm i love plain hersheys, pb cups, pep patties...

aaaaahhhhh!! halloween is OVER!!!!
 
well, yday wasprob 90% clean. pms hit in the afternoon and fatigue. i had 1 mini hersheys bar. luckily we have nothing else i like! funny how that offers so little comfort when i have pms;) i also had some low fat ic - glad it is gone now. otherwise clean! we did go trick ortreating last night. just when finn was getting into it, he ran up to a house, tripped, and took a header on the steps! it swelled immediately, and there were lots of tears. that ended our night. kept kiddos up late with the time change, but, yes, finn got up at 5:20 this am. i managed to make him go back to bed until 6:15. hope tomorrow is better. i got all my cleaning done yday excpet the tub. i ran this am on the tm but will do back and legs later. we are off to the beach this morning.

kate, wendy, what attacked you?

katie, how did the costumes turn out?

klaudia, did the girls have fun?

hi becky, hi robin, hi angie

colleen, i have some candy crack you can have:p

Happy November

Rainy day today. I want to stay in all day.

Nina hope Finn head is better today...that musta hurt

Kate my kids are too old to want to dress up but my son went to Game Stop (boys handout where they play Yugkio games)and they had a party their. When he came home he had fun eating the candy.

Klaudia good going with DOMS

Today will be sts but I'm not even sure which one.
 
Robin, how old are your kids? my 16yo still TorT with us =) a lot of teens do here.

nina, poor finn!! getting a booboo in his costume =( what attacked me…the food was terrible at both parties yesterday. i actually didnt do terribly with candy, just 2 pcs, but shoud’ve eaten ahead of time or offered to bring something healthier instead of cakes. boo. its not like ive never been to these ppls homes before, should’ve known... fried chick, empanadas, baked ziti (not wheat or low fat cheese or turkey sausage or anything), that kind of stuff. party #2 had NO salad or veg of any kind in sight. ugh. but the guilt i give myself should be enough stress to drop a few pounds… lol!!

beautiful fall day here, in the 50s, sun shining. headed to my aunts for a party this pm, at least we eat healthy stuff as a family -- wheat veggie pizzas, salad, fruit. hoping for time to do jari’s slim and lean tonight, ive been enjoying that one lately from the lib.

b - coffee, yog, strawb
l - above with fam
d - may do chick roll ups again, or just leftovers, not too sure yet

hi to all other CT ladies – busy busy weekend! Halloween shall pass!! Oh wait, it just did =)
 
Hi Everyone!

Rainy dreary Sunday here. Chris and I went out to dinner last night and it was great because there was a ton of wait staff and no customers. So service was fantastic. This morning we went to the grocery store, then I did some cleaning and convinced Chris to use the slow cooker to make bbq pork for dinner.

Kate, sorry about the bad eating this past week. The good news is once everything returns to normal, the weight will come right off. I always splurge at Christmas.
Wendy, I hate it when people don't serve a veggie or anything healthy. I hope it at least tasted good.
Nina, sorry about Finn's fall. I hope he is doing better today.
Lisa, how was the birthday party?
Katie, how was your Halloween party?
Robin, glad your son found something to do last night. I hope the rain goes away soon.
 
I'm in the process of THROWING OUT all the garbage in this house!:eek: TONS of bad food headed for the circular file!

Wendy, I love Hween but I'm glad the junk food binge is ending!
That's nice your fam is health conscious! Get that WO tonight! I hope to too!

Nina, Poor Finn! Swelling is better than not tho.... more likely for concussion if there's no bump.
The beach sounds great!

Robin, GLad Cameron had fun!
STS - work it!:D

Colleen, Nice to havea night out! We're trying to find time for one....but when?!?!?
yummy soundin' dinner!
 
such a lovely fun time at the beach but i am in a foul hormonal mood:mad::mad: i did some extra exercise to pump me up, but it is not working at all. sighhh.

kate, good for you for throwing out the junk! i am dreaming of ways to make junk:eek::eek:

colleen, a night out sounds nice. glad you got the store over with.

robin, some of the kids who t or ted at my house looked at least 20, lol

wendy, vegie pizza sounds good.

eats are clean. glad there are no white carbs here, or they'd be gone.
 
Hi ladies! I am wiped! Party went well and most visitors are gone. Glad to be back to normal. I can't believe my baby is one! Bittersweet most definitely. Anyway, I am back on the Insanity wo tomorrow. Don't even ask about eats. Hardly ate from being so busy yesterday and then I managed to eat three halloween sized candies before bed, but does it count if I had it with a glass of milk? Back on the clean eating wagon. Today I had no candy, but meals were not the greatest either. It's so hard when family is around. Anyway, I did get compliments on looking toned and fit yesterday so that was nice. Afraid to step on the scale now though. Be back tomorrow with personals.
