Yesterday was brutal, I am sure today will be better. The fact that I am even alive, much less awake to work out, is a miracle. Off to do PUB...

Okay, now I am freaking out. There is an outbreak of hand, foot, and mouth disease at Collin's preschool. Two kids in his class got sent home yesterday alone. Now I see a bump or two on his hand. I feel guilty saying this, but I CANNOT afford to be off of work right now!!

Morning
Sorry to hear about the outbreak Katie. Does he have a fever also?
Today will be another rest day/online shopping. I woke up with a terrible sinus headache. I took something for it but I still feel like sleeping all day
. I guess more soup for lunch today.
I chat with you ladies later on.

Katie, Healing vibes to Collin~~~~~~~! I hope he doesn't get it! How was PUB?!
Robin, Healing vibes to you too! Online shopping sounds great!
-------
I've got 7 lbs left to lose. Hopefully I'll get cleared to exercise next week and the pounds will melt right off. I can button most of my regular clothes but it sure ain't pretty! Bring on the elastic!!!!
Colleen, Your trip is almost here!!! We were going to go somewhere for out 10th anniv. next year, but we traded a disposable income for disposable diapers! Maybe we can go to traverse City overnight!
Klaudia, Where do you guys vacation at in MI? We always spend a week+ in TC in the summer.

Morning ladies!
Well, my day got worse after I posted yesterday. MIlla got put on RED at school. They use a traffic light system for behavior. Needless to say, I was mortified. She used some inappropriate language that shocked me! I was not a happy girl yesterday Working out helped and now I've got some nice DOMS. Today is another treadmill workout and abs. My knee is feeling twingy; I think it's time for new running shoes, too.
Katie, I hope Collin stays disease free. My kids are quite susceptible to Impetigo-blech.
Robin, have fun online shopping. I much prefer shopping that way rather than taking a toddler with me-way too stressful. I hope that darn cold goes away.
Kate, you are a weight loss machine! I'm sure you look fab-especially with the tatas! We vacation all over. Last summer was Oscoda on Lake Huron. We rented a huge house on the lake with Darrin's family. We've also stayed on Crooked Lake, near Petoskey (not my favorite vacation-muddy lake+no beach+right on the main highway+being 7 months preggo=misery), and Boyne Falls for a winter vacation. Next summer I think we're gonna try Lake Michigan. And my girlfriend just moved to TC so we're definitely going to visit her, too A B&B in Saugatuck would be an awesome anniversary getaway-it's beautiful and not too far from home

Morning all,
I'm feeling uber amounts of frustration. I feel like I'm the perpetual fat girl trying to get skinny. I know this is a ridiculous time in my life to try to be maintaining any sort of normalcy much less fitness, but I'm just annoyed. I wake up each morning with a new determination to eat well and work out but by noon, I'm tempted and fail. Monday I did great with a banana and clif bar for breakfast, grilled chicken salad for lunch, and then since were STILL at the mall, I ended up succumming to a taco bell grilled stuft burrito! Then yesterday a similar thing happened. I started out great with granola but then after Ellie's tooth thing (which went fine) we stopped by "my" house and our friends who are renting it were moving in and I just lost it and ended up doing taco bell again!!! At least for dinner I did subway and did it well. But, I just don't feel like I can get through one stinking day of eating well and remaining consistent.
I wouldn't be so upset if I were at a normal weight but instead, I'm 6-7 pounds up from "normal" and I can't seem to make it budge. Usually one or the other works (eating well OR working out) to at least drop a few pounds. But now, it seems as though I've hit some sort of plateau and can't break it. I've been in the low 120s my whole life (aside from pg) and now I'm up toward 129/130. Even after I had Ellie, I got down to 118 with the X! UGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!
So, anyway, all that to say, I don't know what to do. I feel so extremely ashamed of myself that I can't muster up even the smallest amount of self discipline. It's always been an issue for me and I'm just tired of it.
Anyway...
Katie, I'm so sorry about the HFM disease thing. What a pain. I hope he's OK. My SIL has her son in daycare and she deals with similar issues. SO hard to have to take time off because someone else got your kid sick. I'm proud of you for doing PUB this morning though! Great job!
Kate, only 7 more pounds to go!!! That's awesome! You're doing great. I hope you're just having a wonderful time with Julia.
Robin, I'm sorry you're not feeling well. At least you can rest and eat some soup. In some ways, I can't wait until my girls are older and I can actually be "sick" and spend the day in bed! I hope you feel better soon.
Klaudia, I'm sorry about Milla! What a bummer. At least you vented your frustration by working out rather than eating!
Hi to Steph, Colleen, Nat, Emily, Anne!
Off to feed my kids (and myself) some breakfast. I'm hoping to have a relaxing day but will probably call and make a kids time appointment for around 9. I need to WORK OUT! BM2 premix #6.
Happy Hump Day!

I ate some soup around 10 but now I'm hungry. My sinus meds must be working. Left over ground beef for tacos is going to be my lunch. This is what I ordered for my DD from JCPenny

Kate you know that 3 is a odd number, so why don't you have another baby.
Angie when you are stress out you will eat anything that you can get your hands on. When you get settled your weight will return to normal. Are you drinking enough water? Sometimes when you are dehydrated it seems like you are hungry.
Klaudia what kind of running shoes do you like? Milla probably pick up the language in school and she thought it was cool.

Hi Ladies,
Just dropping by to say hi and that I sent Kate and Stephanie a PM. I'm not sure it's working b/c I sent Steph the PM 3 weeks ago and Kate a PM yesterday.
Hope all is well with everyone!

Hey ladies,
Just back from the gym. Did the timesaver BM2 which was perfect for today because I was running late to get the kids to the daycare and then people wanted to stop and talk to me about our move! Ugh. Anyway, it was awesome. I did it with 2 risers which I've never done and I was dying!
I had some oatmeal and string cheese for breakfast and now I'm eating a lean cuisine flat bread thing for lunch - not clean but far better than taco bell!
I have a roast in the crock pot for dinner and I'm going to make some mashed potatoes with it. Nothing super clean but still better than eating out.
Have a great afternoon!

So today ended up being my rest day. My knee feels iffy and I figured a day off would be a good idea. Plus, it's TTOM and I'm on an eating rampage. Decided to have Little Caesars instead of the salmon. Just feeling blah.
Angie, don't be hard on yourself. Your life is pretty stressful now. When you get settled things will go back to normal. And living in France, you're sure to be healthy and fit-it's the way they live. I wish I were as dedicated as you are now. Take heart
Colleen, only a few more days...
Robin, Darrin and I thought the same thing about Milla. Today was a good day And I'm a Brooks running shoe fan. I love them-never get blisters or any kind of pain. Well, except now. But the shoes are almost 2 years old so it's my fault.
Kate, those cookies sound yummy! Hope you had a few for me I can't believe it's only been a couple of weeks and you're ready for #4!! You're just meant to be a mama.
I swear I'm turning into Scarlet O'Hara-tomorrow is another day!
