Fit Moms are the Best Moms--Check in 4/25

I have a mirror in my workout room and I agree, it helps with my form. But secretly, I also love watching my muscles pop during STS. I DO NOT like watching my goofy butt during Insanity though. :p

Christine, enough with the lentils!!! Bad memories!!;)

Had a very frustrating day at work. My job is saying that the employess that signed up for the FSA account (voluntarily, mind you) need to pay the fee that the insurance company charges my company to have the account because my company cannot afford it. I have disagreed and have a feeling that many of our disagreements are not going to be well received. Oh well...I have to stick up for what it right no matter what.

Unsure on a workout tonight. Potentially STS but prob no cardio just yet.
 
No workout. :( Three pieces of pizza and a reese's egg later, I wish I would have. Oh well...I'm sick and it made me feel better. Off to make DH happy. He won't stop bugging me. :rolleyes:
 
what is it about these men? My DH could have teh plague and some nookie makes it all better. Get well! And I am having naughty food too!
 
Ok girls, I need your advise. My right ankle is in so much pain right now, it has been bothering me a lot for the past weeks, specially when I move my foot up and down or to the sides. I think it may be the ligaments that support the foot. I was stubborn and decided to do a step w/o today and it onlt aggravated to the point that it hurts to walk and I'm much better of just dragging my foot on the floor than lifting it up while walking. I hate this, I still have a good 6-7 pds that I need to lose and this is not making things better. Sucks!

I'm off to take a shower and possibly ice it.

Would you stay away from working out all together?. I'm planning PUB (thanks Christine for mention it recently) o rmaybe some floorworkout...
 
Priscilla, yes, Go see a podiatrist or your doc. Sounds like you damaged it to an extent that you may need some sort of support. You need that need ankle! Stay off it. Focus on weights, and swim if you can. Do you have a YMCA near you where you can swim? No impact. This has happened to me. YO umight want to wear what is called an AIR CAST. It will prhibit it from moving. I am so so so so sorry! I hope you enjoy PUB. SO LOVE IT! I am so sore and feel like a million bucks. Feel better! MOtrin!
 
Just a quick hello.

I have tomorrow off. Just put jumperoo together. It looks like alot of fun.

I plan on running 5 miler tomorrow (wind pending). DS has a track meet tomorrow PM and I'm supposed to meet his girlfriend.

This AM was tough, but PM was better. i'm going to try to sleep without Tylenol PM and see if it makes any difference. :)

Be back tomorrow. :)
 
Mel- I take unison And Tylenol pm sometimes and they cause me to have depression for about twelve hours have you tried lunesta instead?
 
Well, Im up. Didn't sleep too well last night. :confused: We'll see how my AM goes. I haven't tried melatonin in a long time, but I know where I can get some. You always have such great ideas, Christine!
 
morning!
what is it about sleep and its sooo hard to get it! K was up 4 times last night..I dont mind her getting up..its ME that has the sleeping problem. I just can't seem to go back to sleep etc. I put her down at 8..she gets up at 10, 1, 2, 5..at 2 she just needed to burp and was right back out. I was so tired but did 45 min on the tm and feel soooo much better. I'll hit a wall later and hopefully get in a nap.
Melanie-sorr you didnt sleep well! I hope your morning is a good one!
Christine- I am SO making the lentil cookies today! I am leaving out the coconut though..and I wonder if oil could be substituted for the butter?
Pricilla-sorry about yoru ankle. I agreew ith C..you need some sort of support on it..and go ahead and do PUB..its a good one!
Allison-Im making the broccoli quiche tonight with tilapia!
Hi LIsa, Kenra, Jen, Judy

The appraiser guy is coming this morning..so I'll be back after that!
 
susan- what about substituting peanut butter?
Kids slept great, not me. Darn it. Full moon maybe??
Got to rush. Swimming today. BBL.
BTW HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEET PRISCILLA!
And I am STILL sore from PUB love it.
 
Susan, it'll be nice to have this house stuff behind you!

Jen, I have a mirror in my fitness room. When I first got one I was so suprised how "un-tough" I looked in my kickboxing. :p I honestly thought I had steller technique and super high kicks...then once I saw my reflection I was way off. lol I would like to think I'm better now.

Precila, are you injured? Happy birthday!!!

Christine, did I miss lentil cookies somewhere?

I just got all the ingredients for Eziekiel bread & have a loaf mixing in breadmaker. I hope it turns out b/c it was quite the investment buying all the various flours and such.

So far the wind isn't too bad. I might be able to go for my run outside. The wind is supposed to be fierce the next several days.

Waves to all!

I am afraid if I saw my reflection I would realize I am not as hardcore fit as I thought!!!
Mel- Yes, POsted the lentil cookis yesterday. Am goign to get ingredients for them today...
Okay, back to food for the kids.
 
The thing I do like about my mirror is that it reminds me to suck this belly in. My abs don't look too shabby, its just that they pooch out and its tiring holding them in properly.

No sleep last night. Was on call and pager went off so I had to work from 1130p-3a. I came in a little late because I needed the rest. I don't feel too bad, just in a fog. Probably wont work out tonight either.

Priscila- Happy Birthday momma! Take care of your ankle! Christine has some great suggestions!

Melanie- I used to use melatonin to help me fall asleep but if I took it too often my body got used to it. I hope you find something that works soon. Do you know I still haven't made any bread yet??? Or pizza crust. I have the ingredients to do it. Just lazy this week I guess. Hope you get to run like the wind! :p I completely agree about looking in the mirror while kickboxing. :D

Christine- That's great the kids slept great! What's up with you??? Tylenol PM has caused me to feel depressed afterwards too. I always feel like I have a hangover after it.

Susan- Yum, broccoli quiche. That sounds good right now. Can you bring me some? In between Kara's naps, cooking, appraising, packing, making DH happy....etc. ;)

Waves to everyone else!!! I have to buckle down and get to work. BBL!
 
I don't want to jinx anything....but I think I feel better this AM. Maybe it was the stupid diphenhydramine the whole time? That certainly would be an easy fix....if I could still get some sleep.

BTL done. Do I like it? It's okay. I like how the strength moves are all compounded into many muscle groups. I will add a 30 minute run on elliptical when DH is done shooting pool with his buddy. Maybe I will do a leisure jog & read a fitness magazine at same time. That's so enjoyable to me. Not everything needs to be hardcore, right? I'm such a hardcore junkie it's hard for me to tone things down. :eek:
 
Hi, gang! Just a quick pop in before we head out to run errands today.

Susan, in reading the reviews for the lentil cookies, someone said she subbed canola oil for the butter and it worked well. So give it a shot! Lentil cookies sound crazy -- but I'm going to try them too :)

Priscilla, happy birthday! I'm so sorry to hear about your ankle. I twisted my ankle badly in 7th grade (yes, all those years ago LOL), and I *still* have problems with it. So, take it easy, see the doc, and follow orders. The ligaments and tendons in my ankle are permanently stretched out, so my ankle doesn't "react" the way it should -- so I've hurt many times over the years. I've been told I will likely need reconstructive surgery one day, but I'm really hoping to avoid that!

Christine, glad everything with DH is back on track. :)

Melanie, I sure hope your bread turns out too -- that would be cool if you could make your own. Where in the store do you find it? Is it in the refrigerated or frozen section, or with the regular breads? I hope you have a better day today.

Susan, we liked the quiche. Like I said, it was a bit "wet" so I cooked it for a while (had to cover with foil eventually LOL). That's why I cooked the broccoli and onions longer than called for, to get some of the water out. Will have to cook them longer next time!

Jen, are you starting to feel like yourself again? You've been under the weather for so long, it hardly seems fair anymore. Could it be allergies?
 
Huh. I recommend Tylenol PM to people all the time for insomnia. I'm really suprised that it might have been the culprit to my feeling so down. It's duration of action is about 8 hours. Everyone metabolizes things different, so it shouldn't suprise this pharmacist. We all think we're invincible to all the negative side effects. :p

Allison, the Ezikiel bread is made out of lentils and 5-6 different kinds of flour. :eek: It's supposed to be nutritionally complete....as Eziekel lived on this and this alone for almost two years in biblical times. It looks like my bread is rising nicely. The true test will be it's taste, of course.

The entire family is going on a trip to see JOry's track meet. The only concern is the wind, and they may cancel it if it gets too windy. My 30 minute run will be inside...I am not a friend to the wind when it comes to running. Speaking of which, I put a running picture up on facebook. Some of you have seen it, but if you're interested. They did a nice job with the photography, I'm in color and other runners are in black/white. I'm impressed with it....and the photo went on my wall next to my elliptical. I'm such a dork!

Susan, how did apprasal go?

Christine, that lentil cookie recipe looks way too advanced for me!

Jen, I don't know how you make it thru the day when your on call like that. Hang in there!

Okay, both gals are sleeping, Jadon is peacefully playing with playdough,...DH is almost done shooting pool. Better get my tennies on for a light jog. :D
 
Hi
Apprasial is done..will take 2 days to get report.
Mealnie-I am really looking foward to hearing about your bread. I love Ez bread!
Allison-I will try oil in the cookies and let you know how it works! Im glad you told me about the quiche..I'll be prepared for whats ahead!
I just put K down and I think I will try and get a short nap in..as Chrsitine says " my eyes are burning!"
