Marvelous Moms Aug 10 - 16

Hi ladies! Quick drive-by post. Been super, super busy. Eats were horrible yesterday and no workout. Oh well. Today is a new day and I've worked out everyday except yesterday so I'm not going to fret. Anyway, will be back later on tonight with personals.

Kate - I was going to suggest gentian violet. Glad you're better!

The pottery place was so much fun and lunch out was nice too. Came home for a quick nap for Julia then we went to the inlaws' pool. Thinking about installing one at our house for next summer..... hmmmmmm

Need to do some cardio.....but feeling very blah. The longer I sit here isn't helping!:p

Lisa, Sorryf or the bad eats....You're busy and it's so much harder when there's no time. But you're right - no fretting! That leads to spiraling and we don't need that!
 
Motivation found again!!! WAHOO!!!!
I did CTX All Step. I've never done that one and boy, was it fun! Will def do that one again!
:cool::cool::cool::cool:
I am nice & SWEATY!!!
 
Hi moms,

It's been forever since I last checked in!!! Things are sooooo busy here that it isn't funny. I am once again out of town. The hotel that I am in only had one room left... the honeymoon suite!!! How sad is that???? I'm in the honeymoon suite without my honey!!:mad: oh well.....

Anna has gone and gotten her very 1st tooth!!! My she is growing up fast. She is a sweet little girl and she is at the stage where she fusses when me or DH walks out of the room. too cute...

I was frustrated with having no weight loss even with running and Insanity that I broke down and got the gowear fit arm band. I have been wearing it now for 6 days and I am down 3 pounds. I changed the way that I ate, because I was eating way too much. well... good night ladies....
 
I know I promised personals, but my brain is fried right now. It is so hot and muggy here it isn't funny. I sweat just sitting. Anyway, life is so crazy with all this football practice. DS wanted me to hang around and watch him practice so I have been which leaves me very little time to do much of anything. I did get C&W in tonight and I sweated a ton. The heat even at night is bad. I'm having P's bday party on Halloween and getting excited about planning it. I am planning on making a pumpkin shaped cake so I need to make one for practice and see how it turns out. Anyone know of a good homemade cake recipe I could use? I see a bunch on the internet I'm thinking of trying. We ended up renting a small hall to have it because I just couldn't bring myself to clean up our house before and after the party, kwim? It just felt like added stress. Anyway, I promise to catch up this weekend.

hey everyone. just posting to say hi. I am really not getting much as far as w/o in lately. Liams sleeping is crazy. some nights are ok others awful. sometimes he takes little short naps the next he sleeps alot. kinda unusual for him. I think he may be in a growth spurt or something? like now hes taking the longest nap ever! but I was making lunch and cleaning up. my folks took a weekend trip somewhere they had planned for ages so I'm just holding down (their) fort. ha. I went to the used clothing store and got a few shorts that fit. I just really needed them. atleast they were cheap! and cute. ;) I'm only one size up from pp size. once I can w/o regular I know I can loose the extra lbs I just can't now. I have my hands too full and the amount I get in isn't enough. sigh! well hope everyone else is doing well!!
 
Howdy girls!

Kate~yay for the workout again! you rock! Was it you that has LL?? I FOUND it in my VHS stash. I had forgot all abotu that one.. gosh probably 3 years.. LOL I might do that one Monday as well us pyramid upper. How hard is LL?? Ican't remember.

Sydney~aww the honeymoon suite and no honey. : (

Jess~I always shop the consignment shops! I think 1 size up is no biggie! You'll get there!

Well I am proud to report a 90/A on my first quiz. Now I am studying like crazy for the other one I need to take before tomorrow at 11pm. The best news is that next week in my developmental psych. class we are studying pregnancy. Now if I don't get a 100 onthat test something is wrong. LOL i am planning a run today when it cools down. I also told the kids if they are good todya so I can study then tomorrow we'll go see Ice age III They are beyond excited!

Lisa~don't blame you. I hate having people over. My house is usually clean,but I stress myself way too much. Idon't like having events at my house.
 
trish, awesome job on your test!! lol at finding leaner legs, thats a good one, good as in HARD!!

hi jess! we love consignment shops... theres a great baby/kid shop less than a mile from me, great to have around! when i am bigger (like now) i dont have luck in 2nd hand stores as much but have lots of things that i will fit into again soon that were purchased used =)

kate - ive done all step a few x since i got ctx last month and really love the choreo in that one!

lisa, awesome that you got c&w (one of all -time faves!!!) in even with all youre doing...football? work? omigosh. and ikwym about hosting things... but i always do it anyway...i do actually love the hosting part, just hate the cleaning up after. dh is so great with helping but i am super ocd about some things and it HAS to be my way.

hi sydney! stephanie!

the JJ sleep report: i am still in sleep he;;... hes GOT to be getting that 4th tooth and its just not popped through yet, pretty sure his top left gum is swollen and tooth will pop out any second, when i try to touch it he screams bloody murder. dh putting him down worked the first night, 2nd night was horrible, he gave up and called me to come home, think i already rept that? so im back on bedtime duty, dh gave up, lol. pushing the am nap to later so its just one nap/day... worked 3 days but today the stinker as up FOR GOOD at 4:30am, did not go back down. he needed that nap in the morning. i really do hope to keep pushing that am nap up so we shall see. i am also hoping that this freaking tooth pops through and that helps this craziness to end!!!!

my knee has not been great and my brain even worse, lol, due to a lack of sleep unparalleled by even the end of my pregnancy and early pp!! did yoga vids last 2 days (baptiste long and lean, ravi/ana beg and beyond, k voight yogasculpt, has pilates abs too). i would absolutely trip over myself with any cardio right now. maybe can try a leslie tomorrow. trying to work back up to yoga class-ready slowly but surely. i am adding to length of practice/wrist pressure each time and so far wrists are not bad. one vid from library was pretty weird when previewed but i actually felt great after doing it - the ravi/ana one. its VERY woo-woo for me, spiritual/eastern influenced, however you would describe it. so dont know whether it was the meditation or the movements or the breath practice or a combo of all these but i felt FAB after doing this both times. dh thought it was positively dreadful.

went out for a walk earlier with my flip flops on, stupid me, and my knee started hurting almost immediately. came straight home and changed into my sneaks and it was like, aaaaah, much better =) even a short walk requires good sneaks.

tomorrow my grandparents are coming for dinner - bbq. looking forward to that!

sorry for the novel, ladies. happy saturday night and have a wonderful sunday!
 
Well LL has pretty much left me speechless. OMGOSH! That is going to be a once a week workout for sure! The burn is well GREAT.. shaking legs and all. AND the bonus was abs at the end. LOL

Wendy~ a 4th tooth! Oh dear. WE haven't even worked in one yet. Teething is so rough on them.. maybe once that took is he he'll sleep better for ya. ((hugs))

Well happy to report a 96 on my criminal justice test!! Now time to work on the next weeks reading.. fun fun! Also going to take the kids to see Ice Age 3 today at 4.. should be fun. I need to try to do some cardio too at some point.. after that LL workout I am thinking a walk might be all I can manage. THAT was intense!
 
Great day here! Church this AM, then home for a bit. INlaws have big girls for the night so Mike and I went shopping and out to dinner then to Sams. Came home, got Julia to bed and we did our WOs. I did LIC and had FUN! Abs are WORKED!

Sydney, Yay Anna's 1st tooth!
and HUGE YAY for the 3#!

Lisa, Good for you planning the party to be elsewehre! REMIND me to get you cake recipes! I know I'll forget and I don't have the extr time tonight.
C&W = FUN!

Jess, Sounds like all is as well as it can be....
Re the sleep....this too shall pass!

Trish, You're kickin' butt on your tests! Good for you!
Glad you "liked" LL!:p

Wendy, I love your long posts!:)
Sorry abt JJ's sleeping issues. Sounds like you're making progress tho....:confused:
 
Kate~sounds like you had a great evening! Remind me LIC is low intensity cardio?? How is that one? Yeah I "liked" LL alright.. oye I bet tomorrow will be horrid. I decided not to do anything else. I willdo upper tomorrow and try a run. ah it's gonna hurt!

We went to Ice age 3 and it was CUTE. I love when they add adult humor to the kid movies. It keepe me and the kids intertained Sara sat throughthat movie.. well she had a bottle, binkie, cheerios, and crackers.. and tried to get the popcorn on several occasions. LOL Both older kids are in school tomorrow! YIppee!
 
Hi mommas! Sorry to do a quick post, but it is LAAAAAATE! Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! I ate badly and skipped two days of workouts :eek:, but the scales have been kind, and I went shopping today and fit into a size that I am VERY happy to see again! So, tomorrow is a new day, and I am going to get back on the healthy eating wagon! Still CLXing.

Oh, I ordered Pure Strength!! Can't wait to start a rotation with that next month!!

Nighty night guys!! :)
