C&T make it marvelous (& clean!) MONDAY

Good Morning Everyone!

Yesterday I felt kind of blah and capped it off with a huge dinner. Feeling better today and did Disc 28 Chest & Back followed by a 20 minute run. It started raining at the end and it felt great because I was so hot and sweaty. I need to stretch tonight because I was running late and only had time for a quick stretch.

Angie, someone in my high school had scarlett fever. No one else got it and she recovered without any issues.
Wendy, I hope you have a great step class too!
Becky, I love Stacy's pita chips with hummus. I try not to buy them but DH loves them too.
Katie, sorry bday boy is grumpy. I guess he doesn't like getting older. I say do his favorite takeout and make him a nice dinner when you both can enjoy it.
Klaudia, glad MSU won! Sorry about the mood issues. I agree exercise helps but it is so hard to get motivated when you feel blah.
Lisa, crazy about the vegan eating for a child. I agree with you - she needs to wise up.
Nina, go shopping! Retail therapy is always cheers me up.

b: buff smoothie
l: grilled chicken taco salad
d: london broil if it doesn't rain or chop suey
 
Man, Meijer was a disaster! I need to remember to bring AND USE my front pack for Julia! Girl loves to run around that store! Isabel whined for every sweet treat we passed by and actually started crying when I wouldnt buy her a cookie! Are ya kiddin' me?!?! Made it easy to say no!:p

Nina, I got all kinds of devils!:p:D

Klaudia, Julia's nursing about 3x/day. Not ready to quit yet but we need to work on her dependency on it for going to sleep.
Sorry for the hypo stuff - hang in tere! Are you still meeting w/ the counsellor about it?
I bet camp was fun!

Wendy, Your time before you leave is going to fly by!
LOL - a CIO check-in! It's so hard - an hour is our max time for nap but nighttime I just need to turn off the monitor. I just always imagine her getting her leg or arm stuck (or worse - falling out!) and then I sleep theu it all. sigh....
Good luck w/ the driving today and I hope the WO goes good too!

Angie, That's awesome HOP is going so well. **mental note for me to get w/ it and order it for Isabel!** How high up does it go? (grade-wise)
Julia's deal is she wants her nursing and her mama. Boo

Colleen, Did you go out last night or did you cook?
Awesome WO!
 
Hey Colleen, glad you got a good run in. I loved running in the rain. London broil sounds yummy!

Kate, sorry about the meijer disaster. I hate groc shopping with kids. We've turned it into a family event every sat and I dread it far less now. Ugh, on J. I can just so relate. At the same time, I miss our rocking chair snuggles in the middle of the night and I honestly miss nursing more than any aspect of babyhood so while I understand the need to nip it in the bud, I also understand the desire to snuggle!

I'm working on a chapter review for my speech/lang class and it's taking forever. Kids want to go to the park and i'm determined to get this stinking thing done!!!
 
Angie, I usually don't mind the groc store - I actually enjoy it. But today for whatever reason the stars were not aligned:p and we were all ready to hurt eachother!:eek::eek::p
I love the cuddling/rocking too and I try to remind myself that this is a phase and when I look back it will be over as quickly as it started. I hope anyway!:p
Hope you get your review done quickly and can get to the park. It's gorgeous here today. I'd love to be outside right now but this house is a MESS and I need to get it straightened around. I'm making a roast for dinner so after I get some thigns picked up and get that in the oven I can start to enjoy the rest of the day!
 
What IS it with this day?!?! Isabel's bus cannot get here fast enough. And as soon as it does I am throwing Julia in her crib. I'm locking myself in my WO room and doing STS Disk 1 til my muscles beg me to stop. Over and out.
 
Workout is done! Too wiped out to run-doing STS at 80% after almost two weeks away is not smart! Now I gotta make lunch-tuna salad Nicoise:)

Wendy, thanks for the welcome back! How was step class?

Colleen, can you believe there are 3 teams from the Big Ten still in the tournament?! I'd love a run in the rain-but not til July!

Kate, we've all been there! Deep breaths and a good sweatfest will help! Roast-yum!:)

Angie, did you get your studying done?
 
Angie, Hope your crying kid was nothign serious!

Klaudia, Nice job on your WO! enjoy your lunch!


--

Disk1 done and I'm looking forward to some good DOMS!

Julia fell asleep nursing so we couldn't do a CIO but she's been sleeping for an hour so "so far so good'! Hopefully she seeps for a while longer so I can get some thigns done!
 
Nina - Awesome job with the clean and pc days! I agree with staying away from the scale. Don't let it rob your high!

Katie - Sorry about the rough morning. Yes, let's cross our fingers that it's hormones getting ready for a baby!

Kate - Sorry about J's sleeping issues. Hope you get your rest and errands done.

Angie - Hope you got some good studying in. Re: why my sister doesn't feed him those other things, according to her is she wants him to eat "pure" and he'll have the rest of his life to eat anything. IDK, I worry because she used to be anorexic and has food issues and hope she doesn't push that onto my nephew.

Becky - How was that wo? I have a hard time with weight wos that are long like MM.

Klaudia - We can do it this week! I know what you mean about it getting harder the longer you wait to wo again. Awesome job with getting your wo in!

Wendy - How was step class? Sorry about JJ's sleep issues also. P did that a few mos back when she was sick with a fever, but after her fever left it took her couple days to readjust to her sleep schedule. She's been good so far so I'm crossing my fingers that she'll stay that way.

Colleen - What is with the weekend blahs for the CT ladies this weekend??? Yay for feeling better.

Okay, nursing P but I gotta run. Dentist appt in 30min. Got my wo in. Did Insanity Pure Cardio since that was all I had time for. Going to do some yoga tonight. Thanks for listening to me vent. I'm determined to make this week a positive one.
 
yesyesyesyes!!!! Roast is in the oven and Junie is still sleeping! yay!!!

Lisa, Nice job on your WO! PureC is a good'un! Smooch P for me!

Julia is kissing all the time and it is so cute. When I get her out of her crib she gives me a big hug and a kiss. And right before she nurses she kisses me too. For such a stinker she is awfully sweet! :D
 
yooooo hoooooo! :p c&t eaters!!! where you at?!??!!?

my reward to julia's wonderful long nap?
a clogged milk duct! What did I do to deserve THIS?!!??! We haven't skipped a nursing, I haven't wore an underwire bra, I didn't sleep funny.....it just came on when I was making dinner. NOT FAIR!!!!!:mad::mad::mad::mad: Mike told me to quit nursing....I told him if I did that I would have a lot more Saturdays I would disappear for the day (and the Cathe RT in July!).....he told me to breastfeed forever! LOL!!!!
 
all by my lonesome here tonight....

Julia nursed and didn't fall asleep right away so I put her in her bed awake. She was NOT HAPPY. Tried to get out of it by giving me a hug and a kiss. Sweet thing. I went to lay her down and she clung to me like a chimpanzee w/ all4 limbs!:( But she only cried about 10-15 minutes and she's been asleep for an hour. Score one for Mama!

Just finished CS AIS and the splits from Essentrics. aaahhhh!

and my boob is on fire!!!! :mad::mad::eek::eek:
 
Kate - Awww.......so cute about Julia. That would break my heart if she did that and clung to me. I'm sure its' just a phase. Ouch!! with the clogged duct! *knock on wood* I haven't had to deal with it. I did with my ds and it stunk. LOL about Mike. Men, whatever benefits them right, lol? Hugs & kisses to J too! Pomai loves to give kisses and hugs also, but she's picked up biting too. If she doesn't get attention right away, she resorts to biting sometimes.

I gotta run off again to pick up ds from basketball practice. Determined to up my veggie and fruit intake this week. Also trying to stick to whole grain carbs. I've been dipping into the white bread and potatoes and I can feel the difference with my movement. Sorry if TMI. Anyway, hope everyone had a great Monday.
