Good morning girls! Bet you thought I couldn't actually wake up anymore! I'm too hot and I can't sleep. Bummer.

What are your plans today and this weekend?
 
I am feeling so sick and gross right now. Couldn't have *anything* to do with the amount of food I inhaled last night! I have this crazy appetite that won't stop! I read in my preg book that "carbs are the main source of energy for your growing baby" - must be why I can't get enough of 'em! I think I'm growing a linebacker in there!

Menu today? yikes!
b - cereal, banana
s - ??? craving those stupid sausage biscuits! The red meat, the carbs!! yum and yuck all at the same time!
l - don't know here either. I'm so sick of noodle soup, cheese & crackers & fruit I could scream. But I have no energy to make separate meals for me AND the girls.
s - big ??? here too
d - Gina's "friend" bday party (She's 6 tomorrow!) Pizza, cheetos, fruit are on the menu for the girls. She's having 3 friends over, so pretty manageable. They'll be gone by 7. They are decorating mini-cakes with all of my Wilton stuff (Am I crazy?!). I hope they have fun.

Workout is highly unlikely. I'm gonna be whipped at the end of the day. Busy ALL DAY getting ready for the party. Thank goodness the cleaning lady comes today!!! I'm gonna miss that luxury when I'm not working anymore!!

This weekend is so busy. Saturday we have a funeral that is about a hour away. There's a luncheon after it so we won't get home until almost dinner time. Sunday AM we have church and then at 2 is Gina's family bday party. Our house will be packed. All the grandmas, grandpas (some greats too), aunts, uncles, cousins. My dad and his wife will be here and they are such wierdos. My step mom hasn't even called to congratulate us that we're pregnant. Stupid wench. Sorry - I really can't stand that woman. Hey - next time I need to vomit I'll just think of her! Don't know why I didn't think of that before!!:p }(

Well, I think I'm going to try to go back to sleep. Mike's up now so I probably can't. Have a good morning & a great day!
 
Hey Kate, good to see you up so early! First of all, you are CRAZY for having all of those birthday parties this weekend. Although I know we do anything for our little ones, just take it easy! The cake decorating this evening with the girls sounds fun!

Re: the carbs, don't sweat it! If that's what HE wants, then give it to HIM;) (do you like how I keep doing that??) I know it is such a change for you, but very very soon you will be feeling better and back to eating your apples and chicken tortilla soup (oh gosh, I hope that didn't make you sick...)

Please post some pictures of the birthday girl!! And give her a kiss for me!

_________________________________________

Today is going to be CRAZY at work!! We have six people that work in my office, but only TWO of us will be there!! I'm not gonna lie -- I'm a bit nervous about it. But hopefully it will go fast and then it will be the WEEKEND!

Not much on the agenda this weekend -- I need to shop for C's easter basket, and I need to work on wedding invitations. We also need to do some cleaning / packing / moving -- not fun. I think the *fun* home projects are on the back burner for awhile while we get more things moved from one house to the other.

Today I am going to do LIC cardio blast -- YAY, I love this one!! My day will be so much better if I can get a good sweat going! Hmmm, one riser or two....???

Menu:
b cereal
s banana, almonds if I am still hungry
l taco salad
s larabar
d chicken and pasta, green beans

Happy Friday!!
 
Katie, Gina is such an introverted kid we need to separate the friend/family parties so SHE enjoys them more. It would be easier just to do one and get it out of the way though!

Yes, your BOY comments make me smile every time! It's funny - I don't even entertain the thought that this could be a girl. If it is I am gonna be in shock. Whenever we talk about name its ALWAYS a boys name we're trying to come up with.

Speaking of boy names we are totally stuck. I like Calvin & Jackson. Mike likes Joshua. He thinks mine are too wierd, I think his are too traditional. Over the next 31 weeks feel free to throw out ANY you can think of! we need all the help we can get!

And, yes!, I can't wait to get back to eating *my* food!

the lack of people will make things busy for you, Katie, and being busy will make the day go by faster. Hope everythinjg this weekend goes smoothly. Have fun w/ LIC. I sometimes use 2 risers for the WU then go down to 1 for the rest. 1 set keeps the fun factor up for me. Eat those almonds at snack time! Low cal/high protein. Ignore the fat - its all good for you!

Hope your day is a good one!
 
Good Morning!

Kate, I hope you get some rest before the party tonight; it sounds so fun! Happy Birthday wishes and kisses to Gina! :) Sending you feel better (((hugs))).

Katie, I hope your day is easy and fast. I'm a 2 riser girl for LIC or I use my BOSU. However you do it, have FUN!

Hello everyone else, I'll try to check in later. Workout is 4DS upper body and HIS/LIS combo. I haven't been posting my meals b/c I haven't felt like it. Eating has been better since I stopped posting, go figure and I've lost weight!


A friend in fitness,

TGIF ladies

Hey Shirl what ever works for you do it. I think when I do weights in the afternoon I eat less through out the day.

Linebacker :D :D

Busy weekend for you Kate, takes some naps in between.

I'm in big trouble with scouts. Tomorrow we are suppose to have a Easter Scavenger hunt in the park but it is going to rain. :-(
We can not do this scavenger hunt inside because of the bible studies that are going on down the hall :-(

I need to think.

No w/o for me today, rest day. My quads are not sore but my hamstrings & butt have some DOMS.

Menu:
b-egg whites
s-yogurt and fruit
l-baked fish and salad
s-?
d-? Cheat meal for sure

In the WH Perfect Body book she writes that we should have a cheat day every 2 weeks. But that is only 2 days per month :+ LOL
 
TGIF peeps!!

Kate, so good to see you up this morning! Sounds like the weekend will be busy, half fun, half sad...Happy early birthday to Gina! Dont worry about yesterday, its done!

Katie, thanks for asking about DH! Things are better than they have been in years. No one is at work here today either, its the last day of March break, do you have March break in the U.S?

Shirl, i love 4D upper body, i'm gonna do it tomorrow!

Robin, Meaner legs got you! Enjoy the rest. Dont have any suggestions for the scavenger hunt, maybe a trip to the library with the group?

Last night i did MM lower body and CS!
Tonight, i think BM2 cardio

I bought a wok yesterday and made my lentil veggie stir fry in it, love it! Gonna do it again tonight.
BBL, got to grab my student.
Steph
 
Shirl, Glad your new routine is working for you! You'll be one hot 40-yo. mama!!

Robin, Can you do the scavenger hunt in your house?? Scary, I know! I feel like everyday is a cheat day laltely - hope you enjoy your dinner tonight!

Steph - I love new kitchen gadgets. Good workouts - I'm jealous!!! Maybe I'll feel good to do something tonight. I've only worked out once this week. Yuck.

My mom says I'm "filling out". I say that must mean I'm looking fat! My regular clothes still fit but I think the carbs are catching up to me!

Isabel needs me - bbl!
 
Thanks for the suggestions ladies. I've decided to do a Butterfly Coffee Filter craft and paint eggs instead. It's going to rain too much tonight and the ground will be damp.

If you want to see how to do the coffee filter craft with your kids I'll give your the website. http://crafts.kaboose.com/butterfly1.html
It's for 3 y.o and up.
 
Wow someone came in with some hot cross buns and I've resisted but my will power is getting weak. I'm going to eat my clean lunch and then wait another 20mins. I should be safe.

Why is every Holiday celebrated with junk food?
 
Sounds like you're doing good Robin! Keep it up!

Gina's party went well. The birthday girl went to bed w/ a sore throat - hope it doesn't progress!

I did good at the bday party. Kept mindless snacking to a minimum and ate no cake. BUT... I'm probably going to have a small piece in bed in a little while.

Have a great Friday night!
