Morning ladies

Katie Those pictures are so nice. The one where Collin is next to the pumkin would make a great picture card. You haircut do look great.

I'm a little tired today. I spend most of yesterday in Church services. I received my "dilpoma" and now I'm a member of this church.:D
I only sign up for 2 ministries. That all that I can handle.

Today's w/o will be power walking with vest. Tomorrow will be circuit.
I have to really watch what I'm eating in the evening hours b/c my weight is up 2.5 #.

b-oatmeal
l-grill chicken wrap
s-fruits and cheese
d-chicken pot pie (home made-almost);)
 
Yesterday's posts

Klaudia your fall decorations is great and you gave me some ideas. I love Fall also. I think that I have 2 small scarecrows packed up somewhere.

Kate how are you feeling? I'm glad Mike had a good day on Saturday.

[[[Angie]]] it's going to be hard to give up your cats today. I hope they get adopted soon.

Nat is your w/o space set up? Do you have a weight bench?

Colleen oh no stale cake! I be the bride was mad.
 
Happy Monday Ladies!

Katie, those pictures are so cute. Collin is a doll!

Kate, sending good vibes your way.

Angie, thinking of you today. Be strong.

Colleen, that was exactly how our last wedding was! We had steak and chicken, dry cake, and sat at the party table-how funny!

Robin, I'm with ya on the night eating. I wake up off the couch some nights and head straight for the cookies I buy for the girls' treats:0 I'm up 2 pounds, too. I need to find my willpower!

Today's workout is supposed to be P90X Chest/Back, but I'm still sore from Saturday's Legs/Back and yestersay's 4DS KB. Hopefully I can get through it.

Klaudia & Robin, sending willpower vibes your way.
Angie, sorry you have to give up cats.
Hi Steph, Emily & Nat!

Mornin' chickadees! :)

Katie, those pics are too cute! Collin is adorable!!! (And so are you!) ;)

Robin, oooo, your chicken pot pie inspired me to want to make a veggie pot pie one of these days. Pot pies are the ultimate comfort food for a cool autumn day, aren't they? :D

Klaudia, your meals and snacks sound a lot like mine. Soup actually sounds like a fantastic lunch - maybe that's what I'll have too (if the cafeteria has any good vegetarian soups today - it's hit or miss in our cafeteria).

Colleen, oh gosh! Meetings from 11 to 4??? That just ain't right! I hate days like that - I hope it goes by quickly for you.

Hi to everyone else! Kate, did you have that darn baby yet??? :p *taps foot impatiently* ;)

Workout this morning was PUB.
B - protein shake and banana
S - grapes and string cheese
L - either salad or soup
S - Clif Bar
D - probably leftover veggie chili and whole grain cornbread
 
Hey girls!

Workout room is set up! Yippee!! So today is Butts and Guts! I totally need a tough workout. I have been in such a funk lately - I don't know if it's the stress of a new house, lack of sleep or what but I just need to get happy!

Kate - I bought some honeycrisp apples yesterday! Thought of you! I put a half of one in my oatmeal this morning - yummy!

Katie - Very cute pictures!

Colleen - Hope you make it through the day without going nuts. I hate meetings. Seems like they are usually about 50% waste of time!

Hi to Klaudia, Angie, Robin, Emily and Steph - hope I haven't forgotten anyone!

Morning ladies,

Yesterday was another crazy busy shopmax/eatmax day. We stayed up super late putting furniture together. I tried to do one for Ryan (just a night stand) but apparently I don't know how to screw something together without stripping the threads. Thankfully he was patient with me. I just felt useless.

Thanks to everyone for the sweet thoughts about my kitties this morning. I'm super sad about it. I take them in at 10. I am taking the girls to a friend's house so they don't have to be a part of it. Hopefull I will be able to hold it together.

So, no WO this morning again. I'm going to make an appointment with the childcare place for tomorrow morning and start hitting the gym and I guess I'll be doing some interval training on the dreadmill and some weight work. At least I'll have my fun music.

Katie, loved your pics from the pumpkin patch. Collin is super cute! I need to try one of those honey crisp apples. I wonder if they sell them here.

Robin, what ministries are you going to work with? We are really going to miss our church here. We love the people!

Klaudia, hope you can get through you WO today. I'm sure you'll do great!

Colleen, ugh meetings. :( Hope your day goes quickly!

Emily, so good to have your chipperness back! Hope you can get your soup today. Do you work downtown? Ryan never has worked anywhere with a cafeteria and has never been in a building close enough to fast food or any food for that matter so it's a huge pain when we don't have anything in the house for lunch!

Natalie, YAY for your WO room! I can't wait to have one! It's always been our living room. Someday I'll have a basement again!

OK ladies, I'll check in later. Have a great day!

angie
 
Katie, I love the pics AND your h/cut! PLEASE tell me how to post pics in the post! I can't figure it out and I want to be able to do it when Julia comes. TIA!

Robin, Your fall walk and pot pie sound marvellous!

Klaudia, ^5 on the DOMS! Don't ya love it?!?

Colleen, Hope the drs goes well. Booo to meetings allday!

Emily, I'm hoping to make chili tongiht too.... Hope I have time.

Natalie, B&G - owch!!! Are you feeling a little more settled?

Katie & Natalie, Glad you liek the H'crisp apples too!

Angie, ((((hugs)))) for you, your girls, and your kitties! LOL on the dreadmill!!

Sorry to be so brief in the personals but oh I am so busy today...... Hold off those labor vibes until I can get payroll done - I don't want 20 angry plumbers at my door if I can't get it done!!! Hoping to get it done this afternoon or evening..... I need to get Isabel down for a nap so I can get some stuff done..... bbl........

PS - I packed my bag last night! FInally!!
 
Well, I think your labor vibes are workin' girls! I *think* I'm losing my mucous plug. This technically means NOTHING - doesn't mean I'll go into active labor today, but it still makes me excited!

I just did LS 4 miles - hoping to shake that baby outta there!:eek:

Better go get some stuff done...........
 
Holy cow Kate! Baby Julia could be coming soon! I lost my plug the morning Ava was born...get your stuff done! I'm so excited for you!

Angie - I hope you are doing okay. What a rough day for you and your girls!

Okay - gotta go workout while Ava is sleeping!

bbl

Nat
 
Ok... hard part done. I cried the whole time I was there but then treated myself to starbucks on the way home and felt much better. I just finished throwing away the litter box and cleaning out that area of our laundry room. I thought the tears would start flowing again but instead I was so grossed out by the whole thing that it was somewhat therapeutic.

OK... Kate, I think my vote date for your baby has passed so get that little stinker out! YAY for loss of plug... it's a step in the right direction. :)

Time for some phone calls while girls are resting.

angie
 
Natalie, Don't you just love the afternoon nap time??! I get so much done while she's asleep!

Angie, Glad the kitty drop-off went okay. And, yes, the litter box is way disgusting. I HATE that part of cat ownership.....a big part of the reason little Suzy is an outside kitty!

Making a big pot of chili to freeze some in individual bowls..... cmon baby!:D
 
Busy day here in Clean and Tidy-ville!

Well, we jsut gor back from the plastic surgeon's and I'm very happy to report that Danica's mole was benign! I can now breath again. For those that didn't know, my 9 year old had to have a suspicious looking mole removed 2 weeks ago. And FYI for all you guys-keep an eye on your kids skin! There have been cases of melanoma in kids as young as 5! And it's on the rise. We had allergy shots today too, and a trip to Target and Payless-with all 3 kids! Phew.

I did get my workout in-used the bands for the second set of pull ups though. And eats have been on so far. We're having grilled chicken sausage with peppers, onions and some pasta for the kiddos-yum!

Kate, I've never seen someone as energetic as you so close to labor! You rock!

Angie, good job with the kitties and Starbucks always makes me feel better, too:)

Natalie, Hooray on working out in you new room! And B&G is a great way to break it in:)

Ok, gotta make dinner.
 
Klaudia, YAY for Danica!!! And you too! That is great news. That would've been a scary wait. You deserve a medal for doing all those errands with all 3 girls in tow! Takes FOREVER, doesn't it?!:eek: And I've only got 2 for now!:eek: Tell me about chicken sausage - I've never heard of it. I'll have to check out Meijer tonight to see if they have it. Thanks for the energetic compliment - According to Mike and my midwives I should be slowing down, but blast it! Ive got too much to do!:D

Dinner was oh, so good! Chili, corn bread, Honeycrisp apple slices. mmmmm good!

After I get the kids to go to bed I'm headed off to Meijer for groceries. No more eating tonight!:p
 
Kate, when you go to Meijer, look where the sausage is. Look for Al Fresco Chicken Sausage- no artificial ingredients or preservatives. They have all kinds of flavors-tomato basil, sweet italian, apple, etc. It's really good!
