Well, add yet another day to my "rest week." I had planned to do some cardio, but I didn't make it out of bed in time. Maybe this evening, we'll see.
Colleen, the vacation countdown is ON! I am sure you are so so excited!
Kate, I must mention again how precious that baby is!
Natalie, so good to see you check in last night! Hope things settle down for you soon!
Eats have been clean, and my weight is holding steady despite not working out.
Off to shower and try to get to work a little early.

Good Morning Everyone!
Yes, the countdown is definitely on! I can't believe it is almost here. I have a peaceful morning and a crazy afternoon. I already blocked off my calendar on Friday so I can get out of here at 3. I left 1 hour open if someone must meet with me.
Katie, it was so cold this morning, it was really hard for me to get out of bed too. But I am working on vacation energy
Kate, I am glad Mike has been so helpful - you need it.
Steph, good to see you back. Glad you are keeping up workouts - it will help get through this mess.
Robin, sorry you are sick. The Carolinas are not far enough south to have summer year-round. You need to go to Florida.
Nat, hope your daughter is recovering well from her surgery.
Hi Angie, Klaudia and Anne!
w/o was HISM 2 Intensity Mix and Circuit Mix step parts, Coremax segment 2
b: oatmeal with almonds
s: 1/2 larabar
l: chicken and vegetable soup, banana
s: 1/2 larabar, chopped veggies, strawberries w/ banana
d: ?

Oh, you gals are the best! THanks for all the sweet comments on our baby! She had a terrific night last night - woohoo!!! Miraculously, I have ZERO PPD!!! I usually get it like a freakin' bat out of h*ll, but I'm taking these supplements my midwife recommended and I am doing awesome!
Katie, Enjoy one more rest day! You'll come back to doing WO's with a vengeance and kickin' some major butt! (I'mhoping for the same for me!)
Robin, Sorry you're not feeling well. Relax with some of that hot spiked tea! A lazy day sounds great!
Steph, I'm so glad to see you! Pic of Julia is posted over our weekend thread. She's changing so much -I need to get another one up! I hope things are moving forward for you. You're in all of our thoughts - ((((hugs))) And I am SO NOT surprised you're still working out!
Colleen, Sned some of that vacation energy over here! My poor DH needs it! As helpful as he's been, I know he's ready to give up the house husband title! He was doing laundry at 10 last night! What a guy! I can hardly believe this is MY husband! It never ceases to amaze me how you can stop yourself at HALF a larabar. Those things are so small to begin with!! You have a will power that I surely do not!
-----------
Still no exercising for me. I go for a post-partum exam 1 week from today (my bday! and oooh, what a present! A vaginal exam!!). Hopefully they/ll tell me I'm healing up well and can at least start some mild cardio on days I feel like it.
Eats:
b - Honeycrisp apple, smart start
no clue on the rest of the day. I'm eating anything and everything-- Mike is so excited!
Last I weighed myself I had 10 lbs to go. That was a few days ago and I think I look a lot slimmer than I did then.
Still haven/t gotten out of lounge clothes, but I DID put on a bra today!!! My boobs are HUGE! I look like a stripper!!!!
Have a great day everybody!

Good morning girls,
The weekend was super busy and I didn't get any workouts in which is frustrating. Today I have to drive up to Phoenix to return something to Ikea so no WO again. Tomorrow I have to take Ellie to get her crown on her tooth so NO WO AGAIN! UGH. What a few days. I'm just starting to feel sluggish. Plus it's TTOM and so I am totally bloated and blah. Hopefully I can snap out of it soon.
Katie, you deserve some major rest! Take it! I hope you are feeling awesome!
Kate, LOL about the stripper comment. I can totally relate. Most days I'm barely a B cup but post-pregnancy I was a 36D!!! Ryan LOVED it.
Colleen, it is crunch time for your vaca! YAHOO! I hope you guys have a wonderful time.
Steph, it's so good to see you back here! It's no surprise to anyone that you are still working out and eating well. I'm sure there have been some rough times. I think I would have gained 20 + pounds by now.
Robin, sorry it's cold. I hope you have a nice day of rest and recovery.
Hi Natalie, Klaudia, and Anne!

Angie, WalkMax at Ikea counts, doens't it?!?! I hope Ellie does good with her crown. Will they give her nitrous? Gina had to have a crown put on last year and they gave her nitrous. It just about killed me to see her like that. I hope we never have to go thru that again. I'm in D territory right now too. Mike WOULD love it but I won't let him near 'em! I feel perverted or something..... I can't get into the romance side of things when a newborn has groped my boobs all day. Maybe when my milk supply evens out a little......sigh.
Julia has been sleeping all AM!! I've gotten so much done (paperwork and thank you notes, cleaning up....and deoderant!!!!!). Better keep at it........

Hi, everyone! It was a quiet weekend for me, but unfortunately not for DH. He spent Saturday night at his parents house and by Sunday morning he had one of his sisters take his dad to the hospital. He's being treated for renal failure. He's 94, so he's no spring chicken, but it's still hard. I haven't heard anything so far today, so I'm going on the no news is good news theory.
I am planning to work out when I get home tonight, then I have tap class later on. That always helps me relieve stress. Eats will not be good today, so I'm not going to post them. How's that for stubborn?
Kate--I saw the picture of Julia, she is just too precious! Keep resting, nursing, and cuddling that baby. And how fun to have a vaginal exam on your birthday--you know how to live!
Katie--don't worry about another rest day. If you can fit in later today, that's great, but don't sweat it if not. (Okay, that was a *really* bad pun.)
Robin--sorry you're under the weather. Rest up and try to sleep as much as possible.
Steph--sounds like you're going through a rough time, (((((hugs))))) to you.
Colleen--your trip sounds fabulous and well deserved. I hope you have a great time, getting ready is such a chore, but so worth it!
Angie--good luck with all the errands. Don't you hate it when life interferes with your workout plans? I sure do.
Hi to Klaudia and Natalie! I hope everyone has a great day.

Hi everyone!
I just got back from taking our Durango for its pre turn-in inspection. It passed, thank goodness. No money in the budget for silly repairs. Today it's back to P90X Week 5. I think I'm going toswitch days and do cardio today, weights tomorrow. So it'll be a 30 minute treadmill run/walk and abs. Eats are back on too, after the weekend.
Katie, good job on keeping the weight gain away! Enjoy your extra rest day-you deserve it.
Robin, I hope you feel better. The chicken soup and tea should help. And if it's any consolation, it's colder here in Michigan and will keep getting colder
Colleen, hope the week flies by for you
Stephanie, glad to see you posting. Don't be so hard on yourself-you've been through a lot lately. Awesome workout and eats!
Kate, you could never look like a stripper-even with the huge boobs-you're too cute And only 10 pounds to go?! Wow! Poor Darrin! When he married me, I was skinny with a full 34D. When I was nursing I got to a 36E!! After kids and nursing, I'm a small 32C! He claims false advertising-ha! And I had a hard time nursing and wanting lovin'-not fun in the beginning. Glad Mike's been such a help. It makes things way easier.
Angie, you'll be ok. A few days off won't hurt you in the long run. Hope Ellie's dental work goes smoothly.
Natalie, hope you get some time to visit us
Hi Anne and Emily!
b-steel cut oats w/apples & cinnamon-made in the crockpot-yum! and an orange
s-bare naked trail mix

d-panko crusted pork chops, roasted potatoes, and steamed broccoli

Wow, busy morning and slow evening in here!!
Another exhausting day at work! No clue what to fix for dinner! It's really hard to think all day at work, then get home and have to think some more -- about dinner. It's a lame excuse, I know!

Anne, (((hugs))) for you and the FIL situation. Have fun tappin' tonight.
Klaudia, What are you getting now for a vehicle? Another Durango? I would love a Nissan Armada, but alas we have no payment on the Durango and I don't want a car payment right now. An E!!!!!!! Oh my goodness, girl! You must've been about to topple over!!! Giving Dolly Parton a run for her money! Good luck with week 5!
Katie, I think Chris needs to come up with dinner tomorrow!
I threw spag & meatballs in the crockpot tonight. I made dinner 2 nights in a row! Getting back to normal....slowly but surely. Now if I could just get a handle on getting the girls going in the AM without Mike....
