It's Sunday night and my husband left awhile ago for 5-days of training in Dallas, TX. I'm lonely, so I thought I'd post my workouts before heading up for bed. At least my kids are with me. That makes it not so bad. Sunday: Off Monday: Step & Intervals & 1 mile walk Tuesday: Off...

I haven't had a full body massage since my dd was 6 weeks old. I want to say, though, that I left my panties on, and needless to say, I was NOT wearing a thong! I didn't have my bra on. I can't remember if they give you something to wear on top or not. They keep you covered under warm...

You guys are cute. Briee: You NEED A DAY OF BEAUTY IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS! I'm going to a salon where children are not allowed, where I am going to be pampered by any service I desire. I'm for sure opting for the full-body massage with scalp rub, swiss shower, facial, and pedicure...

Hi Ladies. I thought you would be the best ones to ask this question to. I've had 2 children, and am having my third this September. My 30th b-day is just 2 or so weeks after my due date. I am planning on having a "day of beauty" to celebrate. I am thinking that I will most likely want to...

I didn't use any lotions or stretch mark creams with either of my pregnancies and I don't have any stretch marks on my tummy. I did really well with my weight gain in both pregnancies. My SIL gained A LOT of weight with her first pg. Probably 60-80 lbs. She didn't get any stretch marks...

Congratulations! Sounds like your little guy is growing almost as fast as my son did. He was 8.7 at birth and gained 2 lbs by his 1 week checkup! It's hard to remember when I started working out after my first pregnancy as that was 6 1/2 years ago. I would imagine that I waited the whole 6...

Hey guys. I'm so glad that you all posted about how emotional you've all been. Thank God I'm not alone! I just can't wait to be done with this pregnancy so I can feel good again and be back to my old self. And I'm only 13 weeks!!! I have a long way to go. Of course, for me, the first 15 or...

Hi guys! Hope you all had a good week. I got 5 workouts in, but none of them were super challenging...with the exception of Leaner Legs of course. I love that tape, and I will keep doing it in this pregnancy until I can't anymore. I just hope that my legs don't change with this pregnancy...

Don't worry about missing workouts. With my first two, I was so sick that I didn't start working out until 18 weeks. I still did great and felt super fit after I delivered both. You will be just fine taking this very important time off.

Thanks guys. I think that helps. I guess it's just so different this time around because I was so nauseous in my first two pregnancies that I wasn't able to eat until about 16 weeks. I gained 30 lbs with my son, and 25 with my daughter. I just want to make sure that I'm not over doing the...

First off, we heard the heartbeat right away today. It was 160 bpm. Secondly, I feel like I have been eating SO MUCH with this pregnancy! I don't think I normally eat that much, but I have to eat about every 1 1/2 or 2 hours in order to keep my energy up and to not feel sick. Obviously...

About those illegals...most of them are having 4,6,8 children. How long before the illegals outnumber U.S. citizens? Is anyone else concerned about this? The people in our society who are educated, well-off, and should be becoming "good parents" are not having children at all or are having...

Or are very unhappy with their marriage, their job, the fat slob they've become, the financial wreck their life is because they are trying to keep up with the Jones's. Just because they've had children doesn't mean that's why they are unhappy or complaining. Give me a break.

Trevor: I for in, may be in the minority, but think you are right. People who choose not to have children do so for selfish reasons. Raising children is extrememly challenging, and the parents of these children sacrifice a lot and are criticized by many. Most of whom who don't even have...

Kim: Just a suggestion, but forego the bowl of cereal in the a.m. I am a HUGE cereal lover, and now that I'm pg, eat it a lot, but when I wasn't pg, and I was eating it, I realized that I was STARVING 30 minutes later. I felt like I'd just consumed 200 or so calories for no good reason...

It's nice to hear from so many people who have big calves. I used to hate my big calves. I think they are 14 1/2" but would have to measure to be sure--hard to remember, and I am a size 2. I have really come to accept them and especially like the way they look when I wear sandals with heals...

I think everybody's body is different in this regard. I can eat dinner and do a step workout 20 minutes later while my dh is sitting on the couch about to fall asleep while digesting his meal wondering how on earth I could possibly be working out. I started first morning workouts this...

Thanks for your ideas. It's so hard to settle on anything when we were looking at 4 nights in Vegas with 5 other couples. I am so bummed. I have been talking about doing this trip since I was 27. Thanks for the suggestions, though. My husband and I have considered going to a hotel, locally...

So why is your screen name Shopaholic? What do you like to shop for? I am a shopaholic too. Just thought it might be fun to chat and see what we might have in common. Stacey EDD 09-16

I'm hoping that one of you guys might have a good idea on how I can celebrate my 30th since I'll have a 2 week old. We were previously planning on going to Vegas with 5 other couples. Since that's now out of the question, I was trying to think of something that would still be fun, and special...
