Moms that Rock! March 7-14

Mel- I feel better when I eat clean too. But I still crave my pizza and beer! I can usually see my obliques and upper abs and anything below that., forget it!

I'm making this veggie, brown rice, chicken and black bean casserole right now. I will try a bite and then post recipe if its any good.

Lisa- You look great in the brochure! That is so cool!
 
Well.......thanks to Christine I just had to do the "I've got Abs" workout from Charlean Extreme. I threw in a couple reps of shoulders, biceps & tricepts. Less than 30 minutes.

Tomorrow I will do kickboxing of somesort w/ the new (and super tight) 2lb handweights. That should help firm up my upperbody too!

I have to post my menu to keep myself accountable

B: steel cut oats, walnuts, coffee
S: 15 almonds
L: 1/2 super bean burrito + diet pop
S: banana & chocolate protein smoothie
S: 20 cashews
D: 2 eggs 1oz meatloaf 2 slices 100 percent WW bread, 8 oz chocolate milk
S: not sure?

water: 1 liter

Ugh! looking at my diet I see that it's super dooper poor in veggies, shoulda had another serving of milk (maybe bedtime snack) and definitely more water!!

Evening!
You ladies have been chatty! K was in bed at 7:30...H and I are watching Amerian Idol. I think we'll both go to bed early tonight! Haley and I have been looking at old pictures too. omg I found one of me at 13..with farah faucet wings and all. I will see if I can scan it..too funny!

Lisa-love the picture! You have a gorgeous family!!! You're a star now!

Jen-give your dh a hard pinch for me...you'll show him...kegal 1,2,3..we'll start a keagl bootcamp!

Christine-hope your night with the kids goes well. Do you plan on doing BOTH lowmax and lis? youre an animal!

gonna go try and scan this picture..remember I grew up in the 80s!
 
I can't wait to see the pic Susan! I'm sure you still look great with wings and all! I pinched DH and he said "Whats that for??" So when I explained he said "You're not supposed to tell them that stuff!" :eek:

Melanie- It might help if you add more veggies in. Just mix them into everything!

Here is the link to recipe I made:
http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Brown-Rice-and-Black-Bean-Casserole/Detail.aspx

It was pretty good, I only had a bite or two. But I thought about taking it for lunch and throwing it in ww tortillas. I made it as is except I added red bell pepper and my green chilis were expired so those were missing. Oh and I added Adobo to the veggies and chicken while they were cooking.

Christine- I don't have ab circuits. DH and I looked everywhere. But I found the Core Max you gave me. I can do that for awhile.

Off to bed...night night all!
 
I will check for it and if I have it will let you know and get it on the way! Only a bite or two of dinner! Whew. I made it up for you. Pepperoni pizza, no abs here tonight!
John has screamed for two hours, poor jimmy is watching handy manny whiel I get him calmed down. Bathtime. I will bathe john adn then Jimmy and I will hop in the shower while john belts out a tune. Grrr. I am pooped and di dnot exercise at all, glad I listened to my body but feel like a tubby tool.
By the way, I told my MIl about our kegel reminders and she laughed so hard. Told her that her son was kegeliscious and she almost passed out. IT was priceless. I guess i do not do subtle real well! Tee hee.
Hubby called from Philly, I suspect he had a night on the town. I htink he is relieved to get back to suburbia.
So, I miss allison, we have not heard from her all week!
In case you do not hear from me tonight, may all the babies sleep well and the kegels be aplenty.
TGI almost F.
 
Christine, it sounds like you and your MIL have a great relationship. That's so awesome! I'll have to look at your recipes. I'm in the mood for making some healthy stuff.

My girls were really good today. :D They are snuzzled together in a chair...looking really cute in their dresses. Ahhhh. I"m so blessed!! Will it ever "kick in" that I'm the mother of five children? that two of them are perfect little girl twins? ha ha. Oh I love them sooooo much!!!!!

Today the girls smiled at each other and cooed. I found that if I put them next to each other (chest to chest) they communicate. Shoulder to shoulder they are "at peace" but don't communicate at a level that is noticeable.

Oakie doakie....I'm off to eat my carrots & milk. Because i am a good girl!! (even though I cheated a little itsy bit with the little strength training). :cool:
 
K woke up and barfed and was up for a little bit so I didnt get to scan the pic. I'll try tomrrow. H is wanting me to come cuddle with her. Dh is calling in 10 min..then Im off to bed.
Christine-i LOL at your convo with mil..too funny!
Melanie-good for you for getting in your veggies, but carrots and milk together...ewww lol
Jen-your dh will thank us later!

dh just called..Im headed to bed night nite waves to everyone!
 
You'll love this.......I BURNED MY CARROTS. lol I wonder if that was subconsious? I chewed off the non-black crispy parts....and drank my milk. :eek:
 
Morning!
Melanie-even better..burned carrots and milk lol!
Hope everyone had a good night. K was up a couple time...then we were ALL up at 5. Its 6 now and I just put K back down...might be messed up nap times today.

I got my lab results back...I will need to get hep b shots again. I had the series 5 years ago while working as a dental asst...my "immunity level" is .31 and it needs to be over
.99........so I need the series again. Wonder if I can get them while nursing??? I will need one now, one month, and 6 months. I counldnt really find anything about it online.

Today is disk 6 legs. Are all of you planning on starting C asap?

Haley wants muffins..bb
 
Good AM ladies. I got over 7 hours of sleep last night, & dropped those two lbs that aggrevated me so much yesterday. I don't mind not losing that much...but I definitely want to keep it under 140. I know it's just a number, but to me it's a mindset......and I'm very anal....like the rest of you! ha

Susan, hepatitis vaccine is a deactivated (dead) vaccine...so you should have no probs getting it while nursing. I might have to re-do mine too. I had to show proof that I had it to immunize (influenza vaccines) patients....but could not, for the life of me, remember where I had them done at. I know I HAD to have them before starting pharmacy school though!

Kickboxing for me today (with my new 2lb handweights). Anyone want to join me? I work tomorrow.

I"m going to try SuzieQ's protein pancakes for lunch. Got all the ingredients!!

Susan, what do you think of the baby food making cookbook you got? I"m thinking I bought one years ago and it was really stupid and common sense stuff. I did bookmark Jen's website she suggested once.
 
Christine- Thanks for posting the recipes! You must've read my mind cause I meant to ask you for them last night and forgot! :eek: Weather is rainy and crappy here so chili is perfect! That is funny about MIL and telling her that her son is kegalicious! Bet you and DH will get caught up this weekend after being apart! :p Oh and I ate a turkey burger and salad for dinner. The casserole was for tonight and I was just taste testing! Me? Only a bite or two??? Definitely not my style. Don't you know that I workout because I love to eat?? :D

Melanie- Do you cook the carrots in the milk? Never heard of that..... I've thought about making some baby food here soon and freezing it. Do you start with veggies or fruit first? Have fun with kickboxing and your new weights! I might have to order some for STS so I increase my weight in smaller increments than what I have. Good job on the sleep and losing those pounds! My weight dropped to 134 last night and I think it's because DH has been home all week and waking up with J at night for me. It will probably creep back up this weekend. :(

Susan- I'm not sure if I want to start C or not yet. I have enjoyed STS (well, the first 2) so far. I need to do Legs tonight and am looking forward to it because you said you were sore for a few days! I don't know anything about hep b so I can't help, sorry.

I'm so glad its Friday! DH and I are both off this weekend and its just us hangin as a family and I can't wait! Things have been going good between us lately too. Not that they weren't but I feel like we are back to where we should be. :) I feel like there is always something we could be doing to improve our relationship. I am anal (can ya tell???) and I figure if we are stuck together for life ;) then we better make this the best it can be. Ok now I just sound mushy so I am out....
 
I have an extra pair of hand weights (used for kickboxing). The are the ones that go from 1/2 to 1 lb in each hand. They are gently used. If anyone wants them let me know & I'll put them in your package today!

BBL
 
K slept in so Im gonna run to the grocery after i take H to school..then wo during Ks nap. I will be back for personals..MORNING!
 
Happy Friday to everyone!
Susan-sorry to hear about your early morning! I had one of those as well. Reese was up a couple times and then when she woke at 4:30, I had the worst time getting her to sleep. She's so fidgety with me, so I gave her to DH at 6. She settled right down. She either senses my tension, or she settles with DH since she can't smell her food! Either way, was able to drift off for about 20min.

Christine-lol on the kegalicious. My MIL would die if I said that!!! SHe's a very conservative, I-love-my-grandchildren embroidered sweatshirt wearing woman!

Jen-enjoy your family weekend! Glad to hear things are going well with DH.

Melanie-ya for sleep! I can only imagine how much you'll get done in your day with that sleep! :)

I'm planning 2 workouts today...probably not more than 90min total. I had to cut my workout really short yesterday, due to some awful stomach pains. I want to run for 30min this morning and then do P90x Legs/Back this afternoon. I wish Reese would have told me she was sleeping in this AM...I could have finished my workout by now. Oh well. Hopefully, she's good in her bouncer.
 
It was a whirlwind last night getting the kids to bed, but it went better than I expected! John went down a easily and slept from 9-4am! Whoa! Jimmy slept in my bed and we snuggled. I got up and fed john and he went down for an hour. We are sitting here brewing coffee and then today is a run, some KPC with weights and then house cleanign. ANd clean sheets, hubba hubba hubba! I think john was up so much and fussy for the past week for a growth spurt. HE was eating 9 oz at a time adn every two hours. Now he is back to every 3-4 hours and only 6 oz. Goodness. That would be great.
Susan- I think yo uare okay too on the Hep B. You and DH goign to stay warm this weekend? Tee hee.
Jen- Thank goodness. I may be anal, but 1-2 bites is only applicable to carrots and milk! Ha ha! Glad to hear that you and DH are doing great and have a family weekend planned. That is great. I would continue STS and do Chalean after!
Lisa- Where are you? Hope the kids gave you some rest!
Melanie- carrots and mikl? Gag!
BBL, got to get some coffee so that I do not poop in any of my neighbor's yards today.
Feeling great after a whole night of sleep! Bring it on!
