MAMAS are the best! may11-may17

Kate-I got chest, back and shoulders done. I will have to squeeze in bi's, tri's and abs later. I don't mind having to break-up weight w/o's but I hate not being able to finish cardio:mad: Laundry is getting done:confused: Did you decide on the kitchen yet?

Hi Ladies!!

well my first week back @ work wasn't as bad as I had expected it to be. That's good. I found out today that sometime soon, I will be transfered to another job! I had asked for an assignment were I didn't have to travel so much. and I was told today that it is in the works!! (Paperwork, and phone calls have to be made, worker who is there now has to leave; e.t.c). but I am sooooooo happy!! Looks like some time in June or July. I have to travel until it is totally offical, but I am happy.

Workouts are not going so well but I am not going to give up!! I just have to do better next week.

Kate.. haven't stepped on the scale in 2 days!!! It was driving me crazy!

Hello to everyone.

candra, i fee; the same way abt interrupted wo's.
no kitchen decision yet.....i [rob wont decide for a yr!:rolleyes::rolleyes::p

sydney, great news abt work! what do you do anyways?:)
great attitude w/ wo & eats!
--
went to michaels for treat bag stuff for isabel's bday party tomorrow! just 4 friends coming...2 hrs w/ hot dog lunch....should be fairly painless - we hope!

headed out for mu 1st run for my 5k training....wish me luck.....and that i smoke my lil sis!:p
 
Good luck running Kate! RE: rearfacing, yes it is legally okay to turn them around at 12mos, but now there are studies saying to extend it until 30lbs. I ff my two older ones at 12mos, and I'll see with Pomai. If she's ok rfing then I'll try to keep her that way as long as possible until she hits 30lbs. We'll see though. If she fusses like mad then I might just turn her around because I can't concentrate when she's crying hard.

sydney-good news about the job!!!

Kate-have fun running!! Is sat Isabel's real b-day?? Owen's is on thurs:)

Candra
 
Quick note to apologize for my total rant earlier. I had a rough morning, but the day got better... SO glad this busy week is over. Next week will be a fun one wrapping up the school year. I'm eager to have us all home for the summer (let's see how long that eagerness lasts!! :eek:). Thanks for letting me vent... As for the scales... I agree, Kate. I was frustrated after trying on some of my "fat" clothes last night, which STILL are too tight, and then the scale this morning just pushed me into a very depressed state. But the jeans I wore today were much looser than the last time I wore them (and they had just been washed), so that's a good sign. Anyway...

Kate--Thanks for the pep talk!! You're such a great motivator. Good luck on your run!! I had a BLAST running last night on the TM. I'm really enjoying it. Hope you do too!!

Candra--I had forgotten about your lack of weightloss until 8 months pp, and then you said you lost it all by 12 months, right? That definitely would be wonderful!!

Sydney--Congrats on the new job!!! As for the bodybugg, I'd LOVE to have one, but I can't justify the cost. If I'm going to spend $200, it's gonna be on STS!! :p

Lisa--THanks for the sweet words! I'm 35 too and things just don't snap back like they did before then. I think multiple c-sections also doesn't help my big droopy gut. But I'm in better spirits now. Thanks to you guys!!

HI to all you other mamas!!

-----

OK< now I'm gonna decompress after a LONG day and have some wine then a salad and think I may skip a workout tonight (I didn't eat but one thing today, so I think I can afford it). Tomorrow: Muscle Endurance and hopefully another good run.

Thanks again ladies for letting me vent earlier!!! ;)
 
Lisa, I hadnt heard that about waiting til 30 lbs.... I feel so out of it with the current thinking on babies...So much seems to have changed sice Isabel - and its only been 5 years!!

Candra, FREAKY!! Isabel's bday is Wednesday!!!

Stephanie, I feel the same way about end-of-school year eagerness. Excited now...hoping the fighting isnt too bad!:eek: They get along well most of the time...just gotta keep em busy! Lately I've been giving them chores when they come to me arguing. Cures it REAL QUICK and I don't have to yell! Bonus!
Please vent away....we all DO feel or HAVE felt that desperation. I go in and out of being happy with my body. Right now I'm kinda mixed. We have a lot of family get together stuff coming up...and vacation in July. Want ti tighten things up. Im happy with every body part EXCPET MY ROTTEN BELLY! Need to up the cardio & do core!

-
Dd my run with my sister tongiht. We had fun but boy do I have a lot of work to do! Good thing I've got a month! We're going to meet up every other night and run the 5k course together.

Better get ready for bed!
 
Stephanie-Yes, I was back to pre-pg weight by his 1st b-day:) You don't have to apologize for your earlier post, that is what we are here for:)

Kate-when is Gina's b-day? Wilson's is Nov 5th.

I finished the rest of pub this evening! The rest of the family is asleep and I am up finishing the laundry. I wish mom's didn't have to sleep:eek: We could get so much done:p

Candra
 
Candra - ITA about mom's not sleeping! I love PUB.

Kate - You'll pick up running real quick since your cardio endurance is already up there.

Off for another busy day!!

cant wait for this day to be over... one day closer to my husbands return! its totally countdown time with less than 3 weeks to go. im also having a problem with my shoulder thats bumming me out. i woke up with it wed am (mon was yoga, tues was imax2 int 1-5 and stretchmax ball). im thinking i pulled something too hard, either yoga or stretchmax or a combo =( this SUCKS because not only can i not do any upper body work but even my daily activities are causing me discomfort... opening doors, picking up the baby and such. boo!!!! i did do low max int 1-4 and more stretch max yesterday just avoided arm movements and stretches. today walked 3 miles.

kate, happy no-more-pre-k day =)

sydney, so glad you will be getting a more stable position soon!

hi lisa, candra, steph!

sorry gotta run...
wendy
 
Wendy, I can't even imagine how excited you adn DH will be to be together again! Hope JJ doesnt have anxiety over this new "stranger". Julia definetly prefers Mama. She'll be content with Mike but very rarely will she go to others ight now. As it shoudl be I suppose...
Your bod's giving you fits isnt it?! YUCK! Rest up and heal up...as much as a busy mama can anyway!

-
Ran tongiht w/ my sister again. It was pretty cool out so that kept me from getting too hot - yay!

Cya in the morn!
 
Well, ladies. I need a total lashing. I TOTALLY overate/didn't work out this weekend!!!! I totally sabotaged my efforts!! But for some odd reason, I'm not feeling down. It was my DH's bday weekend, and we enjoyed it a little too much. BUT, I was watching Larry King last night, and they had some spiritual advisers on there, and they were talking about the power of forgiveness. And I got to thinking. I have no problem forgiving others, but I never forgive myself. SO I'm forgiving myself of this weekend. AND I forgive myslef for letting myself get "fat." And I feel great. I don't feel defeated, and I know that I will have a wonderful week and get back on that fitness wagon.

Sorry to sound all Oprah, but I wanted to share my little epiphany with you all. Here's to a new week!! :)
