Hi ladies! Have you been to TTC Check in? Congrats to Anne and her BFP today!

I"m within 2-3 lbs of my goal weight. Although my scale looks good, I still have a spongy belly,...undoubtedly due to too many simple carbs in my diet. Oh well, noone's perfect. ;)

I have a couple things up for grabs. Let me know if you want them:

Altus 1-2lb weighted aerobic gloves (got new pair)
Solid Gold Cardio DVD
Anyone want some Tae Bo Advance Live VHSs?

I've been staying steady at 5 workouts/week. This coming week will mark the beginning of my 50+ work weeks (plus about 12-15hrs of driving). I"m expecting AF this week too, so we'll see what happens.

Sun: Kimberly Spreen's Step Kickboxing (forget name)
Mon: Turbo Jam Cardio Party 3
Tue: Mindy Mylrea's Extreme Intervals
Thurs: Kickmax
Sat: Imax 3

Little Jadon is starting to show some serious interest in potty training. Just about 1/2 hour ago he said he was poopy & began to strip. I was in the middle of something, so begged him not to take his diaper off yet. He climbed up on the changing table and patiently laid down, waiting for me to come in there. Too cute. ;)

Have a great week ladies!

Mel, which tae bo live adv. do you have? Good luck to Jadon is using the potty. Ashley tried to pull her pants down and sit on her potty but I know she is not ready yet.
Ashley is too funny these days, her newest saying is "I am making a mess". I thought it was a statement until right after each times she makes a mess, especially when eating.

Workouts:
Sun-Billy blanks-iltimate bootcamp+ TJ turbo sculpt
Mon-cardio from drillmax, 4DS kickbox and bootcamp
Tues-Gin miller-simply interval+bella strength
Wed- TJ -KPJ-up to capaira sect. +tracey's cardio sweatfest hi/lo
Thurs-Tracy stahle-HIS 1 and 2 intervals
Friday-amy bento-cardio pump step and cardio pump hi/lo-did circuit premixes on both
Sat-hardcore extreme hi/lo circuits

I have a cold and think Alexis getting it. Felt like crap yesterday.
 
Shopaholic, I have Volumes 1,9,10,11 & 12. :) Oh, I'm not planning on potty training Jadon yet. He has to be SUPER ready for us to tackle that project. Did you have a busy week? It's not like you to workout just 2 times,...

Mel- check out my post now, I edited itquickly after I checked out my workouts that I posted at vf. I'd love some of those tae bo lives. I have vol. 1. Ashley loves the video once upon a potty, have you tried it for Jadon?
Hi to all you other busy moms too!
 
Yep, that looks more like your style. ;) I'll email you for address

May I join you ladies here? My beautiful toddler, Collin Reid, turns 3 TODAY!! We had a big birthday party yesterday with lots of presents and cake (Diego!) and ice cream. I am sending him to preschool today, but I took off half the day to hang out with him this evening and do something fun!
 
Welcome Katie. Aren't toddlers so fun? My 4 year old didn't start talking until he was 3,...and then hasn't STOPPED talking. My 2 year old seems to be picking up 50 new words/day. ;) Growing up, yet still so little.

katie, welcome, and hope you have a fun b-day celebration. my ds will be 2 soon, but i cannot imagine 3.

elyse, finn is into messes too. that is so funny. finn is also into climbing - i cought him up on an ottoman syaing "up and down, up and down." i scraed him when i caught him climbing and he fell off. nothing serious though, thankfully.

Today is day one of a 12 week challenge for me -- I am getting married in 12 weeks, and I am determined to look my best on my day! Mostly I am focusing on upper body strength and definition.
 
Katie- congrats on your wedding. Is your DS going to be in the wedding?
Morris- I couldn't do your workouts nonpregnant!

Alexis is sick today so we had to skip her first swim class but she is perked up now though thanks to tylenol.
 
My DS will walk me down the "aisle" -- we are getting married on the beach, so he will really be walking me down the beach walkway & sand, but you get the point...:)
 
Katie, your wedding sounds romantic.

Elyse, I haven't gotten your address yet? [email protected] I hope Alexxis is feeling better.

I made it thru my first 50 hr week. I'm looking forward to having a couple days off. ;)

Mel-what a busy week! Mel, sent you an email, not sure why it didn't go through, [email protected]. is my address. Thanks.

Now, a story for you ladies. Yesterday I was happy that my workout was undisturbed as I left both girls upstairs while I went into the basement to exercise. I decided to add on pilates but ran up to answer the phone and found......

Ashley's face covered blue in marker, Alexis's face covered, Ashley's favorite toy and outfit colored blue as well ,wall, clothes etc. blue! Alexis got in lots of trouble!
 
Blue markers? Well, they could have been black! Ha Ha My boys got ahold of black permanent markers in the midst of our move. They colored our walls, their new matching comforters, and themselves. I was able to get everything off except their clothes & comforters.

Elyse, I sent out an e-mail your way. ;)
