Dh came home and I had the step outand DVD ready. He did cathe hiit 40/20 while I made dinner . I am so happy for him. He was glad I made a super healthy dinner. Roast pork loin with herbs, salad, and zucchini with Parmesan. Mmmmmm.
Having atough day. John has been boycotting. Aps. Free. All the moms with kids who sleep, you have me green with envy. It is so much harder with other kids in the house.

Lisa- I also type on my phone and feel for you. Two kids under two tonight. Girlfriend, that is hard! I give jimmy alvie or show while I bathe John. Then put John in the vibrating chair and jimmy and I shower. Then Jimmy gets books and I read while John has a bottle and tries to go to seep. I wish I could help you. I am happy to help you come up with ideas on how to make it easier! And I am with Jen on the chex mix dinner thing. You have some willpower! I had chex mix today and feel like a salty blimp but ate a ton of dinnr. I am contemplating some chocolates.
Jen- did you get your workout in? I ordered Kelly coffe off your recommendation today. Thank you!
Susan- love the pro pancake recipes. Thx. I am also against art sweetener but love protein in the morning, so thanks for an alternative to bars with stuff I cannot pronounce!!!
Mel- missed you momma . I am so proud and impresses that you are nursing two. The milk will come and I know you do not want to supplent. I hear you on the last babies thing. I think about how my grandbabies will be the next set. Makes me more lenient with mil when I think how special she must feel. I tend to feel less mushy when John is awake though since he screams.

I'm still realy annoyed at my phonedisconnecting from the internet last night, so I'm just goiing to start fresh this morning.
Christine, I hope your night went better than the previous.
We had a really rough night. Reese fell asleep at 930 but was a squirmy worm until 1130, when I finally put her in her crib and went to sleep. She woke at 145 and was then up until 330 and back up again before 6. DH is being an absolute ass (sorry, thre just isn't a nicer way to put it) with his whole 'you don't communicate' thing. I hope Caden wakes up really soon so that he wakes up his daddy. I know. Mean wifey today.
who knows on the workout today. I do get to leave the house for a lunch meeting...I'm temped to pretend I'm going but then go do something else instead

Mel- I mentioned that I didn't like step but I really enjoyed Kelly's because it was simple and she did the routine a million times before moving on. I didn't catch on til almost the end of each routine but it challenged me just enough to want to do it again. I also liked her energy and she wasn't annoying. Bummer that you work every other day now.
Lisa- I'm sorry you had such a rough night. What is it that you don't communicate about? Did I miss something? If I'm being nosy, just tell me. Just curious.... Take care of yourself today and do something YOU want to do!
Christine- I got to do 30 min of the step boxing workout which was just enough for me to get sweaty and out of breath but not too much because I was so tired. Hope you like it when you get it. You seem to have a pretty good routine down w the two kids. I know it probably never goes smoothly but you do a great job! Can you buy probiotics at a health food store? My sitter and her husband now have the stomach flu and I want to start giving J probiotics so hopefully he won't get it. Sorry you had a rough day yesterday, I hope today is better for you and the boys.
Ok boss seems a little grumpy so I better get some work done. Will try to check back later! Have a great day!

Melanie-that's so wonderful that you hit 135! Not an easy task--I can tell you've worked so hard!!
Susan-what time do you end up having to get up to workout? I love early am workouts, too. I'm hoping that DH can take Reese's 2nd waking when I return to work, so that I can workout at 5. Evenings are just to difficult when I'm working.
Jen-no, you aren't too nosy. If DH can't remember something I said, then I didn't communicate right. He needs EVERYTHING spelled out for him. I even sometimes ask him to repeat what I said so that I know he heard it. However, there are things he forgets to tell me or assumes that I know all the time. There just better be an apology on the way this morning. If I hadn't already paid for my lunch today, I would be skipping it to do some shopping.
Hope to bbl in a sunshinier mood. Speaking of sunshine, I watched Sunshine Cleaning while I was up with Reese last night...not a bad movie.

mel-- would love to try them , i adore step! i am thinkin imax3 and travel fit tiday if there are sleepers this afternoon. no run today because of swimming lessons today. i love how tired they make jimmy. my goal is to have both of the kids down at 1pm for afternoon nap. i am so proud of you melanie!!!!!!!!!! you earned it! 25% is probably not accurate since those scales measure water cntent in the body, so those boobies full of milk might be skewing the results! i am so happy for you!
susan- hoochie mama! funny! whenever john wears a t shirt instead of a onesie, he looks like like homer simpson with his fat belly showing. i made yummy zucchini las t night. here it is:
http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/zucchini-with-parmesan-recipe/index.html
my hubby does not like zucchini and asked for seconds!
jen- i am excitetd about trying these workouts! yay! you can get kid probiotics at the health food store or pharmacy. i like the florastor because you do not have to refigerate it or measure it, they are little packets. good idea for james. i really hope he does not getting the flu. it is so contagious. how was the cor\ned beef?
Lisa- My hubby is the same way. Kids throw a wrench in things, don't they? I totally laughed about wanting Caden to wak up DH. I leave the monitor on in our room on purpose sometimes, even though I go sleep in the guest room, just ot mess with his sleep at night. Hope lunch is great, and that you can sneak in a little shopping!!!!
Priscilla- Hi!!!
Allison- Miss you and am loving all your great recipes.
Got to clean the kitchen and get this crew in the pool.

Christine, sometimes I swear we are cut from the same cloth. DH just said last night how James looked like Homer Simpson in his diaper with his big belly. (Homer is also is favorite) Hope you get both kids down so you can workout! Corned beef was ok, I'm not a fan of it. I ate a little to appease her and then did my workout so I didn't have a full belly. Ate a turkey sandwich later....
Lisa- Oh girl, my DH is the EXACT same way. He rarely listens to me and I make him repeat things back to me also. He will tell me that I NEVER told him when I KNOW I did! He tries to make me think I am crazy. Whatever.... Hope you get to feeling better. Usually just being away from him for awhile helps me. Too bad you can't go shopping. When he makes me mad, I go shopping and buy things for myself and then when he complains about it, I blame him and tell him that if he quits making me mad then I won't need to go shopping to feel better. It works... I am starting to like early morning w/o's because it is already done for the day. It's just hard to convince myself to roll out of bed...
Ok back to work again....wonder if I can get paid for the time I spend on here???

Christine-lol on the monitor. I did that last night. He was sleeping downstairs on the couch, so I went down there pretending to make sure Caden was covered up, but really I was making sure the monitor was on. Then I took our monitor out of our bedroom and put it where I couldn't hear it . I forgot to answer u about the joints--yes, they've been acting up, andI think it's from lifting heavier since they got worse when I started P90X a month ago--mainly in my hands and wrists. I really don't want to stop or lighten my weights because I lovedthe results I got last time. We'll see. I need to check my health food store or amazon for those probiotics. I have her on Baby Calm, which was rec by my chiro. It's magnesium, but I just noticed it has stevia. I know it's just an herb, and I happen to use it, but I'm not sure about giving it to her.
Jen-at least I'm not alone in having DH repeat what I said like he is a 5yr old.
I'm getting out of the house to shop tomorrow. I want to treat myself to some new work clothes in a bigger size, rather than have the 'I feel fat' feeling in my tight clothes. my weight still isn't budging, so I might as well find a way to deal with it until I'm done nursing.

It's crazy here at work. I have no time. One of my assistance is on vacation, the second got emergency surgery on Sunday (gallblader) and I'm working with just one. I haven't been able to catch up, sorry.
Tonight, we'll be attending a wedding (yes on a Thursday!), it's one of the couples from the Bible study so our pastor will be at our friend's house for the ceremony. Very simple but warm. I don't know if I'll be back today. Maybe tomorrow, sorry sorry

Don't buy pants Lisa! You know that you will get back down to your size eventually so don't waste the money. I went shopping about 4 weeks after J's birth and was so depressed about my size. At the three month mark, I fit more comfortably into my regular pants. I just bought shirts that could hide the tummy area and bought Assests from Target. They are like spanx. They worked wonderful!
Hi Priscila! Sorry your day is so crazy but hope it goes by fast! Have fun at the wedding! Simple and warm can be the nicest weddings sometimes. Eat good!

Crazy AM here. I went for a 4.5 mile jog with crosscountry coach. It was alot of fun, then we chatted about my schedule & she made some tweaking recommendations. It was such fun to workout with someone else!!
Then Jory is going to Chicago for a church conference, so I rushed home to take a shower, then bring him to church....then off to MOPS for a couple of hours with the girls & Jadon. Whew. I feel so accomplished today.
McDs for lunch ( I got a Southbeach Salad) Happy Meal for Jadon...he was starving.
I haven't read everything yet...but will post a couple things now:
Lisa, I wouldn't buy new pants after my babies were born. I refused to wear maternity pants either. I did wear elastic joggers or yoga type pants. That' it. I have SPANX, but didn't see the huge difference with them that Jen saw with hers....maybe Target's are better?
Christine, next batch I will send you Kelly's DVDs. I have all her Step Kickboxing ones (I think 3 of them). I also have Mindy Mylrea's interval & Kickboxing type stuff. She's more athletic. You might like her stuff.
I think I might do Thank You cards for the baby gifts today...

Whew! I have had a hard time keeping up with your ladies the last few days! K is napping..hopefully for a couple hours!
I really enjoyed Tracey's new step workout..not too dancy and not endless addons which I hate with a passion! That women has the best legs, I swear.
Eating has been ok. Will do better at posting! I am doing a 2 week sugar detox starting tomrrow (of course). Anyone want to join me?? its just 2 measly weeks!!
Jen-hope youre getting some work done! I too am liking earlier workouts. I can now use both naps to get stuff done..and I have more energy throughout the day too. I hope K keeps sleeping longer in the mornings so I can keep it up! I hear you and Lisa about dh..mine is the EXACT same way! Waht is with men???
Lisa-hope you are feeling better!! Im sorry your joints are achey! I agree..don't buy pants!
Christine-yep..Hlaey has her own fashion ..BUT sometimes its gets a little tacky LOL. As long as its appropriate I let her wear what shes wants. Usually she puts really cute outfits together..nothing I would pick out..but really cute! Too cute about Homer! If you preview Tracey Longs step workout and like it let me kow and you can borrow it..its fun. Thanks for the recipe!. Hope the kids sleep and you can workout!
Pricilla-I am having a hard time keeping up as well! Have fun at the wedding@

Thanks for all the congrats, ladies!
My DH is AWOL. I bet his fishing. I haven't seen him since 9AM when we transferred child responsibilities. ? Strange. His phone is here on the charger.
I just swept out my garage. I coulda done more, but babies got fussy. I also let them sit in their jogging stroller while I cleaned the garage....thought I should get them used to it. It won't be long & we'll be jogging together. They look good in it. I shoulda taken a picture. *sigh* oh well.
Susan, did u know Tracy is expecting again? I have her older step & kickboxing DVDs. I like some of them, others not so well. I haven't liked her last kickboxing ones, so I stopped pre-ordering them. Sounds like yours is fun!
I really like Kelly's kickboxing step combo DVDs...again haven't done in a while!
I have to catch up with you ladies too....at some point today....if I can! lol
