Hey ladies (warning, sappy, sad post coming),
I had a really rough time dropping girls off this morning. Ellie started crying the moment I told her it was time to get her coat on. She cried all the way to school and through the time I dropped her off. I sat in the little lobby area listening to her sniff sniff and I just started to tear up. I walked to my car just feeling like a horrible mother and wanting to go rescue her from the big bad preschool. Then I just started feeling so stupid for thinking that we could live here and it would be OK. I just want to go home. It's frustrating trying to eat clean here b/c the things that I was so accustomed to eating, I can't find here (specifically kashi products and pretty much all things organic). I came home and just wanted to call my mom but it's 3 a.m. so thankfully my 21 y/o brother was on facebook and now i'm chatting with him. I tried to call Ryan at work but he didn't answer. Ugh. Ok... enough of my sappiness.
Kate, awesome purchase! You have a freaking lifetime fitness in your basement. You could charge people to come over! That's so funny about the tooth fairy! I hear you on the HR monitor thing... I don't know how I'll feel if I start doing some heavy lifting and I only burn 250 cals... but w/circuit work it's totally motivating!
Katie, your pepperoni bread sounds awesome. How do you make it? (Not that we have pepperoni here...) Avoid the cake today - you can do it!
Anne, ^5 on BM2!!! It's so motivating to do this together! I don't know if I'll do TJ abs or not. I really like TJ though - Chalene (the leader) is so cute and bubbly and the music is awesome. I'll be interested to see the HR monitor's reaction! I am also excited to the original BC. I'm not sure I've ever done the whole thing... I can't remember.
Colleen, ^5 on HSC! THat's a hard one. It's funny, it isn't the cardio that kills me... I am energizer bunny but that band work - geesh! I think circuit work is so fun. I'll prob cry next month if I try to do Gym Styles and such. I'll need lots of motivation!
Klaudia, ITA on the eating issues. I could work out until the cows come home but eating is SOOOO hard. We can do it together and keep each other accountable. I totally need to shape up there too! Just know that if you put something in your mouth that isn't clean... I'll be here to shame you.
Robin, hope your weekend was a good one!
Morris, sorry about Finn being sick again. I'm amazed at your ability to get up and run after being up with Aidain! I'm so bad with stuff like that. When I was nursing, I could barely function during the day. Ellie didn't sleep through the night til she was 1 and it just exhausted me! Plus, she quit nursing on me at 5 months (UGH!) so I had to do bottles in the middle of the night. SO annoying.
OK... gotta get to the grocery store.
Grace and Peace to all my dear Cathefriends... love you guys!
