MAMAS are the best! may11-may17

Kate-thanks to you I have an avatar! I would love to have another baby with you:p

Lisa-spinning sounds like fun! Did you enjoy your me day?

Sydney-did you not work while pg?

Me and Ryder are home alone!!! We are going to relax and watch The Biggest Loser finale tonight! I don't know why but for some reason I am addicted to that show:rolleyes:

Tomorrow Owen is graduating from Pre-School:( I remember his first day two years ago:( I have a love/hate with the end of the school year:p I wish I could be normal and not be sooooooo emotional over every milestone my children go through:eek:

Candra
 
candra, I accept your offer!:p
pre-k graduation....sniff, sniff!! Isabel's last day is Friday. Big graduation to-do is Sunday late afternoon. It is going to be a LONG 3 weeks til Gina is off school that we are home without her. I'm going to have to get creative with things to do...poor Isabel gets so bored with just me & Julia. Isabel has grown SO MUCH since her 1st day of pre-k...also 2 years ago. She would silently cry and be SO SAD I was leaving her. Now she goes off with other kids, barely noticing that I'm leaving. And she's become so social. Blows my mind!:eek:
Your date with your "babe" sounds wonderful! I love just having quiet time for me and Julia. I'm so looking forward to summer with all the girls but at the same time I know I'll be ready to have a quiet house of just me and Julia. I can't believe my baby Isabel will be in Kindergarten, gone half days....and Gina gone full days in 2nd grade. WHAT are Julia and I going to do with ourselves?!? Nap and workout!!!:p

-
Got plyolegs done. I LOVED that WO!! I am seeing definition in my legs, esp my quads, that I've never seen before. STS is giving me so much strength and definition. If only I could curb my mouth!:rolleyes:
 
Candra I worked, but I didn't instruct. I pretty much did office work. I didn't travel either.

but now that I am back, I guess that I have to make up for it. :eek:

it will be okay.
 
hi ladies! sorry mia...

well i went and got my learners permit today, 3rd time in my life but ive never followed through with my license. maybe 3x a charm? last night was my lovely hothothot yoga class. today was imax2 premix 1-5, boy did i feel out of shape dusting off that one and i didnt even do the toughest ones =( no risers either, havent used them since very early in pregnancy. plus the stretch max ball section. also, i just broke down and bought slim in 6 knowing ill either love it or hate it, we shall see. and if i hate it - back it will go!

sydney - that is one of those things that is hard for woman in the workplace, men dont have to worry about their shape after a new baby!!! nothing you can do differently, you already know everything you need to know about how to recover in a healthy way, dont be tempted to do anything drastic - you can do it girlfriend!

lol at candra and kate having a baby together =)

lisa, i heard spinning is a fun and buttkicking workout but .literally a pain in the butt lol but .. is this true? i heard ppl wear padded pants for spinning!! inquiring minds wanna know...

kate, your new kitchen sounds fab! i vote YES!! hehe.

candra, ive never watched the biggest loser but im totally addicted to all of the real housewives. its like watching the best trashy novel... they are all such train wrecks! and im really not much of a tv person anymore so even funnier that im addicted to like the most garbage shows.

becky, hows that workout room coming along?

hi jess, stephanie!

wendy
 
Wendy - My butt does hurt actually! I bring my own cushion seat cover so that helps, but yes, it takes getting used to. How do you get around without a license? I'm too reliant on my car, lol.

Candra - Yes, me day was good!

Kate - Totally hear you about the quiet time yet wanting to spend time with all the kids.

Hi Sydney!

Okay, gotta run off to the store after Pomai finishes eating. My head is spinning thinking about all that is going on this week. Hope everyone is having a great hump day!

Lisa
 
Hi mamas! Just wanted to pop in to say hi! Been a busy/frustrating week. Self esteem is back on the fritz. Still plugging away at the clean eating/working out, though. Tonight S&H chest/back. Hope you all are well!! School is out in one week an a day, and I cannot wait!!
 
Stephanie, I'm right htere with ya feeling frustrated with my body! Even eating clean I feel so defeated even WANTING cheats/treats. Wish I could just turn that part of my brain OFF!!!:mad:

Lisa, Hang in there! Just a few more days and the busyness will calm down! Wish DD good luck from all of us!

Wendy, I am AMAZED you have no license! NOT POSSIBLE in our area!
You are ROCKIN the wo's! Was orgasmo-man at yoga???:p

YO MAGGIE!!! WHERE YA BE??!! It's not like all those kids wouldn't keep you busy or anything!!
 
lol kate, no orgasmo-man this week =) i am so feelin the half of imax2 i did yesterday... that was one i didnt have the nerve to break out until now.

i had total body wts planned for today but was way too sore. i could totally get through on day 2 of doms from yoga (lately just tri and hams, totally expected) but when my wrists are achy its tough to pick up the dumbbells and my tweaky knee = bad idea to do many lunges, squats, etc. i did walk 2.7 miles, though.

i miss maggie...

stephanie, one week to go, you can make it! and in a month, youll be wishing school was back in session lol.

lisa - i know in most of this country i could not get away without a car but where i live its so easy, there are buses and trains everywhere and i walk around my neighborhood for errands. big shopping trips i go with family or friends but day to day stuff i just load up my bumbleride!

sydney - i think you mentioned military before? my husband too. and i dont get it, i know there are supposed to be standards but he works with some guys who look like huge bags of donuts!

candra, hope you enjoyed your alone day with ryder =)

goodnight, ladies, i must rest my achin' bod!

wendy
 
Kate - When you learn to turn that part of your brain off, tell me how also! Forgot about Wendy's o-man yoga friend!

Wendy - I think that's great to not rely on a car. I would be very thin if I had to walk everywhere! Reminds me of college days when I was the most thin because of it!

Hi Steph!! Hang in there.

Maggie - I miss ya' too!

Lisa
 
Hello all! Ryan is 3 weeks, 2 days today. He's getting big (not too much), but was so tiny when born. Sorry that I haven't written much, but I'm sure you all can relate. I'l lucky to get two hours of sleep at a stretch. Luckily, I don't feel too overwhelmed yet as I'm not working anymore (full time or as a personal trainer). Today I did the first two combos/intervals of Amy Bento's Dome Challenge and then shoulders/core. I'm down to about 1 hour of workout a day, but that's enough because I'm breastfeeding as well. I can't believe how much work it is to take care of this little one. Here's a cutie picture of him taken at the hospital. Love the foot by his mouth!!! I'm a proud mommy! Once Ryan gets more on a schedule (and I get more sleep!), I'll post more often.

Feeling very lean this morning...I like it!

-ATTN MAMAS OF AUTUMN BABIES!!!
Have you switched over to a bigger car seat yet? Or are you still using the infant one? I never carry Julia around in it....I always just get her out and carry/sling/cart her. I feel like she's huge for that car seat anymore.... Need to go out this weekend and get the bigger kind. Is it the Britax brand that has all those uber-cute prints??? Will have to dig hard in my brain to justify the $ for that!!!:eek:
 
Hi mamas!
Kate--I'm about to switch over to my convertible carseat. This infant carseat is WAY to small for Charlie!!

Hello to everyone else!! Hope you all are doing well!! I'm having a ROUGH week, and eager for it to be over. Today I had to do 24 "mud cups" (pudding with oreos and gummy worms) for Oliver's class. I THOUGHT I had to bring them to the picnic this afternoon at school. But I was informed by him THIS MORNING, that I had to have them there for the morning snack. Oh boy. So I RUSHED to get them all done and took them to the school and on my way back home noticed a huge screw stuck in my tire. Now I have to take the car to the mechanic so he can plug it. And of course I'll worry the whole way over there (I'm afraid the tire will blow out). Ugh!!! Tonight more soccer. Tomorrow more soccer. Oh, I did S&H chest/back last night AND a 20-minute run. My reward: I gained two pounds overnight. I'm beginning to think that this weight will never leave me. It's tough when you do it all right and get NO results. I'm totally disgusted in myself. I've been thinking very unhealthy weightloss thoughts out of desperation. DH just pacifies me by telling me there's nothing wrong with me. But it's so obvious he just tells me this to get me to shut up. I've never run into such a dead end. I've always been able to get results. I wish I could afford a tummy tuck and lipo. I'm beginning to think it's the only viable option. Anyway, as you can see, I'm very down today. I have to wear a bathing suit next Saturday when we go to the beach, and the thought makes me want to throw up. Ughhhhhh!!!!

(Sorry to be such a Debbie Downer.. :()
 
Stephaine.. I'm with you!! I know that it is about my food intake. I'm thinking about getting the bodybugg and see if that works. But it is pricey if I don't use it :eek: another week and no weight loss! :mad:
 
Kate-Ryder is still in his infant carseat, but I already bought his britax in camo:eek: You can't put a price on your childs safty:D Have fun at olympics!

Stephanie-Sorry you are feeling so bad:( I know how you feel, but try and remember Charlie is only 7mos. I think I told you this b/f but with Wilson I did not start losing weight until he was 8mos and I was trying:eek:

I am going to try and do pub during Ryder's nap. He has been taking very short naps so we'll see:confused:Not much of anything else today. Maybe some laundry FUN FUN;)

Candra
 
Hi ladies!! It's crazy this week!

Steph - Please, please, please don't get down on yourself even though I know how hard it is to not. You are on the right track with your eats and wos so don't give up. Try to avoid the scale. You will get there. It is taking me so much longer to get the weight off this time around for me being 35. I have yet to be prepg weight. You are not alone. ((Hugs))

Okay, I gotta get going because I have the kids' school program to go to. Regarding the carseats, the Britax is the ones with the cute prints. Not to be lectury, but if you guys do change over to the convertibles, please keep them rearfacing until the weight AND age limit. The babies spines and bodies are not developed well enough to take an impact front facing when so young. I know they recommend 30lbs to front face, but I think 20lbs is the law. Age also plays a big factor because of development. Just an FYI. Okay, gotta go.

Lisa
 
steph, yikes on the mud cups! i so wouldve been nibbling while preparing!
and :mad: to the tire!
re the weight....THROW THY SCALE AWAY! you KNOW how to lose weight.
the only weight you should be concerned with is the one you're lifting!!!


you can do this! keep up w// the clean eating, being brutally honest w/ yourself! yes, it succks, but being overweight sucks worse! do you want my ph #? we can call eachother iin total moments of weakness! lets get those abs back!! our vaca is 2 months away and im hatin my belly too. lets shed some fat and shred some muscle!!!

syndney, toss your scale too!

girls, i mean it on the scale thing! its an emotional rollercoaster that we do not need!
steph, youre doing the s&h series - of course youll gainn weight! retaining water, lifting those heavy weights!

candra, lol at the car seat! im thinking the same thing about the flowers...i mean the safety! yeah, the safety!
j& r can be short nap royalty together - prince & princeess! stinkers!
