Hoppin babies and their hot mommas! 4/4-4/10

Christine Im so glad all is well with John! Kara is a farter too...she can clear a room!
I LOVED the sumo brupees this morning! and my upper and lower body is some kinda sore from the heavy weights! Let me know if you want any of my workouts. My dh snores too...so either he wakes me or or Kara...we can't get a break!
Jen-I will be praying for your friend and baby!!!
Melanie-keep us posted on your dad.
 
I am glad that you like the CLX. I like it a ton, new moves, new instructor (to me at least). I will PM you about some of yours... :) I found that my abs were so sore during that first phase, from teh weights, not even teh ab videos. My fav ab disc is the extreme abs. How do our babies have such smelly gas? :)
 
K has started pooping every 4-5 days..guess its just backed up sewage! May need to fix these 2 up in a few years!
 
Susan- what a pretty little girl. She looks so happy. LOL!about the farting.
Jen- I'm sure he was fine. It's hard to remember everything especially when you're tired.
Christine-Glad John is growing so well. Who watches the kids while you run? I try to workout in the a.m. after the kids go to school.I usually start at 640 but lately Jacob has been waking up with me.
 
Have to finish my workout (started earlier, then interrupted), but had to say quickly...

Christine, glad John is doing better today. He is LONG! Drew had his 6 month appt on Tuesday -- 27.5 inches and (drumroll please) 24 POUNDS. No wonder my arms are always sore LOL

BBL to do personals :)
 
I'm contemplating getting a triple jogging stroller. :eek::eek: Jadon really likes to go running with me...and he's not starting school this FAll...so I'd get a year & half out of it. Am I nuts? I'm going to keep my eyes popped open for a used one.

I'm waiting for DH to come home so I can go for my run. He's fishing AM today so he can be home for Jory's cake & festivities.

One of my galfriends came over this afternoon. She's the youth group leader & an awesome friend. We chatted about fitness, nutrition. God, and everything in between. She'd be willing to fly with the girls and I to WI to visit my folks for a week! The girls fly free... I'm seriously contemplating it.

Off to put ham in oven...
 
Christine- Wow I'm impressed. Are they heavy in the stroller? I had thought about getting a jogging stroller. I'd have to get a triple.But they are expensive. I don't know if I'd use enough to justify the cost. I already have a nice treadmill.
I'm sure your kids love getting outside.
 
Kendra~ too bad we didn't live closer, we could share a triple. I have a double that I really love....but the triples are $1000!!! ...that's just not going to happen. :eek::eek::eek:
 
Melanie- That is awesome about your friend going with you. Might be somethng worth considering, especially with your dad's health. I don't think you are crazy at all for wanting a triple. If it gets you out running more and you don't have to rely on DH then go for it! How much would it be to ship one? We are going garage sale'in this weekend and I will keep my eye out.

STS Disc 10 done in Meso 1! My arms are fried! I used the hand weights from Mel :D which was just enough to fry my shoulders. Christine, what Insanity should I do tomorrow that doesnt have a ton of upper body work?

Off to spend some time with DH before he heads off to work. Have a great night all!

Oh totally forgot....baby boy is 1lb 11 oz and has a 60% chance at life. I spoke to my friend and she sounds hopeful. Please keep the prayers coming!!
 
jen- crossing my fingers and sending love to baby!
lisa and allison- we all have big healthy chubbies! yay!
mel- go for it!
kendra- yes, it is heavy, but you adapt. jimmy is 40 lbs, john, almost 20 lbs, stroller 28 lbs. but, i love it. they love it too and days we do not run we are all grouchy!
jen- you want insane? max cardio baby. i leave a puddle on the floor, and it has not got too much cardio...
spent today at hem clinic. i noticed a hematoma under the shot sites, so got infusions and should be ok from here. took jimmy hiking, watched planes land, weent to childrens nature museum, phew. in laws here. sil already making me look forard to my long run tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ok, got to fold laundry and cook and open a beer. tgif! cheers!
bbl, you all make my day every day, btw!
 
Don't know if I can take an hour of Insanity just yet.....:eek:

Made BBQ chicken pizza tonight. YUM!

Sorry about SIL Christine....will give you more motivation to get thru 16 miles tomorrow. Your day sounded fun! I love watching the planes land when pickin up family from airport!

Oh and I lost 2 more lbs and I'm not throwing up. :p My legs look tighter...and my arms ROCK! Now if I can tighten this belly.

Good night all!
 
Jen-did you make your pizza with the whole wheat crust? I have a recipe I use, but it's just so-so. We had pizza tonight too, but I tried to be good and limit myself a bit....and I had it topped with chicken, peppers, onions, and tomatoes. Yes, that's just me justifying my splurge! My boss has twins who were born at 26 weeks. They were near death a couple times in the hospital, but not only did they survive, they are THRIVING both physically and academically. Keep us posted. Congrats on the body changes!!!! Happy shopping at the garage sales! I usually have really good luck finding nice childrens things in our city...lots of $$ with all the docs...too bad I couldn't have married one!

Christine-Talk about going above and beyond booking those massages!! What a nice wife and in-law...and no one needs to know about your true motives behind it. Speaking of hinting to DH, I just went in to my DH's calendar on his phone and set an alarm for Mother's Day---2 weeks ahead :).

Melanie-did you grow up in WI? What part? Happy Birthday Jaron! How was his day?

Allison-24lbs? What percentile does that put him in? Reese had her 2 mo today. I'm not surprised about her length--upper 80s in the percentiles. Her arms and legs are SO long!

Kendra-I don't run very far....around 4mi in about 36 minutes. I also have to take a few brief walking breaks. I always feel so good afterward...it's a different feeling that I can't get from step or weight lifting.

Reese screamed murder during her shot. I remember Caden barely flinching during his shots, but he had such chubbers for legs that his nerves were probably tucked way down under the fluff :) I finally got in 2 workouts over the past couple of days. I broke 130 (129.8...I don't round up ;) ). We'll see if I can keep it there for more than a day. 5lbs to go.

Kids are sleeping, and DH is at the bar after his softball game, so I'm off to bed. Happy sleeping to us all
 
Hi ladies. Where in the world did my day go? I ran 5 miles at an EZ pace & had lots of fun....coulda went longer but don't want to over due it. I have 11 miles on tap for Sunday...this will be my longest run EVER!!!

Today's Menu
B: steel cut oats, 1/2 banana, 5 walnuts, coffee
S: fiber one bar, choc milk
L: turkey cilantro cheese spinich mustard sammy on WW flaxseed bread, diet pop
S: guacomole & chips & 1/2 slice buckwheat bread w/butter
D: ham, corn, 8 oz milk
S: ?

I think DH would kill me if I asked for a triple stroller. I really like Baby Jogger brand....$1000 delivered. LOL I'm already getting the bowflex adjustable dumbbells next week after I finish my 1/2 marathon.

Jen, your friend's baby is teeny. Is it a boy or girl? I will be praying. It's going to be a tough ride...and a long NICU stay...but so worth it when she brings her new weeone home. I'm glad her family is there for her.

Christine, your in laws sound so stressful. I'm blessed that ours rarely show up. I haven't seen SILs or BIL since my eldest was a toddler. My MIL drives me batty. She's coming sometime in May.

I decided to wait for my kettleball video before trying the kettleball. I don't want to knock myself in the noggin or anything. LOL

I"m excited about doing CharLEAN extreme....but I also want to run as much as possible & enjoy Spring/Summer running outside. I'm starting to wonder if I should continue to focus on my running while the weather is on my side...then do CharLEAN in the Fall when it starts getting cold again. I'd even consider doing a CharLEAN/Insanity hybrid. Of course then there's Turbofire coming out. So many choices! What does a girl do? LOL

Alrighty, I'm off to play with some pics online & take my Tylenol PM. Work tomorrow. Will be back Sunday!
 
Lisa, you posted while I was typing & missed it. :eek: You might not run far...but you are fast! I run just 10 min miles. My fastest 5K was 26:24 & my fastest 10K was under 57 minutes. I did grow up in WI b/w Chicago & Milwaukee. I hated it there & moved as fast as I could! I bought one Peg Perego double stroller in Rochester from Craiglist a couple years ago. DH had eye surgery at Mayo and we lost our double stroller during our move....so I needed a good used one. I think the seller was a doctor. Nice family. Nice stroller. The girls will use it now.

Okay, I'm off. Catch ya'll later!
 
Woo hoo, got some catching up to do.
Dh loved his massage and sil and bil never even thanked me.
Lisa- girl you run fast. That is awesome!
Mel- good luck tomorrow! You will rock 11!
Jen- you can do it. It is only 30 minutes, lots of stretching....
 
Lisa, I liked your new name. Who knows, if we decide to go for "just one more" I might use it. :p

Christine, I work tomorrow....run on Sunday. I'm going to run with my running pal & one other lady. I find it's fun to run with others (besides my drooling kids). I'm eager to be done with this training & equally eager to take the kiddos out running once it gets warmer. I'm thinking it needs to be in 60s or higher to take my twincesses out!
