Precious pics! Thanks for sharing!!!!
Today I did C&W....but a friend came unannounced about 1/2 way into my workout. DH let her in...and she walked into my workout room as I was huffing & puffing (about 70% done with workout). I told her I was sorry, that I couldn't visit right then...I'd be done in about 30 minutes....so she visited w/DH and her kids played with mine. It was akward....DH came downstairs to rush me through....he said I could workout again later! So about 6 I think I will do another workout. I felt so guilty for not just finishing & visiting...but my workout time is so precious to me...and the only "me time" I get in the entire day. What do you guys think? Am I an awful friend?
Wed is my postnatal check up with ob/gyn. He's 2.5 hrs away, so I've talked DH into coming with (ob/gyn wants to see my twins...since I was transferred to another hospital he never got to meet them). We're going to stay at a waterpark hotel overnight....our first whole family event!!! I'm so excited/nervous.
That's about it......still listing things on eBay like crazy!! I"m up to 12mos boy clothes. DS#3 is in size 3T so I have a ways to go yet!!!
What's everyone up to? Waves to all!

Melanie,
I do that too. I don't like to be disturbed when I am working out. I won't answer the phone and if someone comes over. Too bad you have to wait until I'm done. I know if I don't get it done I won't get back to it.

Good Morning Hot Moms-
Kara has been asleep for 8.5 hours....ahhhhhhh. I really needed some uninterupted sleep!
Today will be weights and CLEAN eating!
Melanie-I don't blame you at all. Your workout time is precious! Your friend was not invited over for a visit. If shes a true friend she will understand! Is your ob appt today?
Morning waves to everyone! bb after workout

Melanie- I am the same way about my workout time. DH hates it because I don't even like for him to come into the room and talk to me, esp when I am lifting weights. I hate to be interrupted and even more so now that I have James. Unless it is for James. 
She came by unannounced and I think that's rude. Esp when you just had the girls. Don't feel bad at all, shes the one that should feel bad.
Susan- Yay for Kara and the 8.5 hours! I loved when James slept his 9!
How are you doing Priscila? Still getting workouts in??
I did GS B,S and Bi's yesterday. It felt nice to be able to lift heavier (well only 8 lbs compared to 5) but I can feel my strength coming back. DH is going to MILs today and will prob stay for dinner so hopefully I can get a run in before he gets home with James.

Morning Jen! Thanks! Kara is looking more and more like Haley too. SHe is changing so much now. Reaching out to grab stuff..talking all the time. And she loves me to read to her. She sits so still for the entire (short) book. Good job on your workout...hope you get your run in!

Quiet here today!
Kara ended up sleept until 7..thats 9 hours. She was up until almost 9 then slept until 12:30....its 2 now and she just passed back out! She must be growing. She just as happy as can be when shes awake so shes not sick or anything. Hope it doesnt mess her night up!
Lunch is done and Im having a homemade granola bar instead of the dip for a snack.

Hey Susan! That's great that Kara is sleeping more. I noticed that after James has had a couple of nights where he is up a few times that there are a few days where it feels like all he does is sleep. I guess that is their growth spurt???
James has his two month appt tomorrow AM and I am hoping to leave work for an hour to go with Daddy. He gets his two month shots which I am a little worried about. Not so much that he will cry but the fear of autism. I know there are plenty of babies that are fine but it still worries me esp since it can be more prevalent in boys.
I've never done any of Jari's workouts?? What don't you like about them?

My friend called last night...they all have the stomach flu (the ones that stopped unannounced). Urgh. I hope I have powerful breastmilk to keep the girls strong (and that my boys can miss it too). Urgh!
Today I took Myranda to dr for labs, her hemoglobin went up. They'll re-do next week at 2 month check up.
CC8 today, 5.5 miles & 800 calories! YES!! I'm going to try to do TravelFit later tonight....we're leaving town tomorrow and won't be able to workout for TWO days. I'm so nervous that I'm going to gain weight. I know that sounds so silly, but when your on the road meal choices aren't as good, and no exercise....I'm keeping everything so tightly controlled right now. *sigh* oh well!
I tried my swimming suit on today. Comical. My bottoms barely fit. And my DD breasts look like porn boobs in my B cup top. LOL. Little thongs like strips that just go over my nipples. Not a good thing for a "family friendly" waterpark. lol Looks like i'll be wearing a t-shirt over it. lol
So...unless my hotel room has wireless internet (Indian Reservation) I won't be around for a couple days.
Jen, Susan....I'm glad I'm not a fitness snob. I know THIS crowd would understand. lol

Hi ladies,
I've been MIA lately. My aunt and cousin came from Boston and will stay until Saturday, so I don't have much free time.
Jen, I rested during the weekend but started working out again today. I got a little discouraged last week after working out hard for 6 days and eating right I lost no weight..
Oh well, i'll come off ventually. I have 15 more pounds to go. Jari's w/o are very efficient total body w/o with a lot of reps. my body responds well to them. I agree with Susan, the last 2 w/o are good for calorie burn but no as fun and a little bit unsafe IMO
Melanie, I like the Slim Series but they are boring. I like them for the same reasons I love Jari's. You made me laugh like crazy today... I hope you enjoy your time at the water park and Yeahhh for Myranda's bloodwork results
Susan, how sweet! Daniel just started smiling at me a lot when I nurse him, melts my heart
Off to drink some coffee

Hi Prescilla! Have fun with your company. It is discouraging to work so hard, and not have the scale move. URGH. I also have 15lbs to lose for my goal weight (20lbs to pre-pregnancy). My girls have smiled at me a handful of times. I need to remind myself that they are preemies & will be a month behind on all milestones....which is fine with me. Keep them small as long as I can.
Waves to all!

Hi, ladies!! Sorry I've been out of the loop with what's going on with you all -- I hope everyone is doing really well
Susan, love the pics of your girls! I am pretty sure you posted your protein pancake recipe months ago, but I'll be darned if I can find the paper on which I jotted it down. Would you mind sharing it again?
Priscilla, sounds like you've been really busy! It is so awesome when the babies start smiling Suddenly, there's some interaction and it makes the fatigue more bearable somehow.
Jen, James is 2 months already?!?! Holy cow! Glad you're starting to feel stronger; it's nice to start feeling like yourself again, isn't it?
Melanie, I hope your friend didn't infect your whole house I trust this water park is indoors
Things are busy here. Drew will be 4 months in a week. Like Kara, he's sleeping through the night (but only when he's in his car seat...sigh), which is a wonderful development LOL
I managed to lose 5 pounds in December by keeping a food log. That was very encouraging. I'm not done yet, but I was pleased with the start. Tonight I made Chicken Cacciatore from Ellie Krieger's Food You Crave; lots of veggies and lean protein -- yum!

Morning!
I guess Kara's sleeping 9 hours was a fluke lol. She did ok last night..but didn't sleep all night. She fell asleep with dh while I was cleaning the kitchen at 8:30.slept till 11:30, then woke again at 3 I think. She never fusses..just nurses and goes right back to sleep. I have been making myself stay in bed longer to get sleep. I hate missing my coffee time with dh..but I feel so much better with an hour more sleep. I think he would rather me stay up later with him at night anyway
Alllison- good to see you! Im glad Drew is sleeping for you. My good friends baby will ONLY sleep in her car seat...gotta do what ya gotta do, right!!!??
protein pancakes..easy peasy. I triple this and freeze
1cup oatmeal
1cup cottage cheese
6 egg whites
dash of vanilla
Put all in a blender until kinda smoothe, then cook like pancakes. Some people put a little sugar and cinnamon in theirs. I will post another oatmeal pancake that I make alot. Its a little more invovled so I need the recipe in front of me.
Melanie-oh my I hope you avoid the stomach flu! I lol at your porn boob comment..bowchicabowbow!! Indian reservation hotel..did I miss something??
Jen-I agree with Pricilla- Jari's last 2 workouts are a little unsafe...and more circuit than full body weights only. My fav is Slim and Lean. How was your night??
Pricilla-have a nice visit with family! Can you drink coffee in the evening and still sleep or is it decaf?? Dh has been making espresso after dinner, then he sleeps like a baby. I would be up all night! Do you like Get Ripped and Chisled?
Ok..coffee time is about over. NEed to get Haley up and running.

Melanie- I had a great mental picture of you in your swimsuit! Thanks for the image so bright and early! I was wondering the same thing Susan was...Indian reservation??? Hope the water park is indoors! You can burn plenty of calories if you splash around with the kids!
Susan- Our night was good. Dh gets up with James so I can sleep because I am back to work but James went down about midnight and woke up around 730a which gave DH some good sleep. I'm nervous about how much sleep I will get when DH goes back to work. He works two days/two days off so if I don't sleep for two nights then I will hopefully catch up the next two nights.
Allison- I know, time flies by! We watched the video that FIL took when James was 20 hours old and he looks SOOO different already! I'm glad Drew is sleeping at night, even if it has to be in the carseat! 5 lbs is great!
Priscila- Try not to focus on the number. My number hasn't budged but I do feel my pants fitting a little (but only a little) better. Plus you got 6 DAYS in! That's awesome for a new mommy! I hope you have a good visit with family.
Got my run in last night which felt great! I think Mel posted this too but I LOVE CC4! It's difficult but when I complete the challenges I feel so accomplished! I still have to walk on some parts but I am back up and running for the most part. James' appt is at 1020a so I will update after I get back. Have a great day!

Up where we live there are lots of Indian Reservations. They are casino/hotel combos that offer many amnities for next to nothing in cost....they hope families will waste their $ at the casinos. So that's where we are headed.
I'm not starting off on the best foot. Super sleep deprived. The twins had a colic sort of thing going on last night. Nothing short of four hours of continuous crying.....really wore us out. But noone has thrown up...so that is good!
Computer is going off! Be back later!

James rocked his two month appt! He is such a good little guy. He weighed 9 lbs which is up 1 lb and 3 oz from two weeks ago so the dr was pleased. He got three shots and mommy cried while he cried. He went home with Daddy so I told Daddy to give him lots of loving today. He calmed down pretty quickly though.
Off to eat lunch...BBL!

LIS this morning! my blood sugar was low again. I felt kinda shakey and it was in the 60's...grrrrrr. I need to overhaul my diet and cut out the sugar!!! Its been carb city today!
Jen-arent those shots heartbearking! I was also crying with Kara. She goes back Feb 18 for round 2. Great on James' weight gain!
Allison-I have Ellies book too..love it! Have you tried the Green Pea Soup? I make that all the time..minus the tarrogon...oh and the Aisian Bean Salad??
Melanie-have fun!

Wow! It's real slow this AM! Well I got up at 530a, pumped and then did CC3 this AM. Felt real good. I think I will slowly try to transition to early AM workouts while DH is home with James. I will just have to see how it goes once we are both working.
James had his 2 mo shots yesterday and is still running a temp of 100.1 today. Dh has been giving him Tylenol but I am a little worried. Is it normal for him to have a temp the next day? I know the dr said he might last night. I wasn't going to call the dr unless James started acting different but DH says he has been fine, eating well and smiling.
Anyhoo, I have to go pump before my case gets here at work. I'll try to check back later!
