Post-Partum Hot Mamas!

Becky, What did you get today??!!?! I havent been outlet shopping in ages!:D

Candra, I copped out and did paper stuff for Gina's class and nothing for Isabels:eek:. Normally I'm the cookie-bakin'-queen but I just did nt feel up to it this week.
LOL on Owen!!!!
Re the stroller - I think I need to go to BRU and push a few. I wish I already had one I liked!:mad: I have spent a ridiculous amount of money since our 1st one trying to find th eright one. If I'd just bought a Bugaboo to begin with I probably wouldbe come out ahead!:eek:
 
STS3.legs - aaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!! the pain! the torture! the doms are a'comin'!!!!!!

I am all kinds of sore and I can't wait to not be able to walk tomorrow night!!!!
 
Hi ladies--Oh my goodness do I love STS--I did the legs (disk 3) today. I'll be doing back and triceps tomorrow. I'm trying to spread out more rest days between my cardio to save my joints. Also I need more recover time between upper body workouts. I've set it up like this:

Monday--cardio
Tuesday--STS CSB
Wednesday--treadmill
Thursday--STS Legs
Friday--STS BT
Saturday--cardio
Sunday--rest

I'd hate to get injured now, I'm loving this so much. Even dh wants to try it. He's pretty impressed.

Stephanie--I honestly get the best results with clean eating and heavy lifting. But keep up the running--that always got me results in the past. Please don't get discouraged.

Becky--I love Amy Bento, her cardio that is. I haven't really done any of her weight stuff. I don't have any of her original series, except the Boot Camp one, but I love the stuff I have and always look forward to the days when she's in my rotation--so fun! (although I definitely have to take some time to learn some of that choreography:p)

Lisa--Love those Gym Styles too!

Candra--LOL on the nail polish:D At least it didn't end up all over his body, like might happen to some small people I could mention.....:eek::confused::p...

Kate--I don't feel like baking now because I have no will power to stay away from the stuff, but I'm expected to make a 6 layer chocolate cake for Valentine's Day for the family (with seafood crepes in wine and cheese sauce....groan....I should figure out the calories just for fun, then again, ignorance is bliss....)

I think that stinker started 24 without me today--gotta go!

Maggie:)
 
Candra - No, just part-time, but I'm gone long enough for one feeding so I usually just pump in the morning before I leave so she has a bottle. I have frozen breastmilk, but she so far has refused the frozen ones which is why I'm pumping fresh milk before I leave. She's spoiled I know and so is DH because he hates defrosting frozen milk also. Oh and yes, I am the Peg Pliko mommy. I really love that stroller.

Kate - Pushing the stroller around is the best bet and also trying to fold and unfold them. I did the same stroller mistakes in the past also, but am really happy with my peg. DH and I had to do some compromising, but I am happy overall with my stroller.

Maggie - You're making STS sound so good! I'll wait though. You and Kate should post some before and after pics!!

Becky - How was shopping?

No workout last night except for the walking. I was so tired last night that I fell asleep with the baby at 8:00! Tonight I will def. be doing my GS BSB. I'm also hoping I have time to squeeze in some cardio. We'll see. Eating really well today so let's hope I continue this!

Lisa
 
Maggie, sts is almost addicting isnt it? my legs were quaking so bad last night, and today still!, but i couldnt quit! im loving heavy lifting right now too. im findong my 1rms gave me too high poundage to lift right now.:confused: i was really losing form on some exercises so i went down in weight.
that cake sounds great! send the leftovers here!!!

lisa, aaaahhh, sleeping w/ a baby! thats my favorite!:cool:
thanks for the peg review - hoping to get to bru soon.

--------------------

chefkate said:
so i was reading the reviews of the bumbleride......

unfortunately, not so good:(

the concensus was that once there is weight in it, it is noisy and cumbersome. if you put anything in the basket it sags and scrapes the wheels. and when you flip the handles to have baby face you you have to take a short stride to avoid kicking the stroller.

i am so bummed!!!!!
there were quite a few reviews like this.

after going thru too many strollers w/ dds 1 and 2 i'd hoped to get an awesome one this time around.

anybody have a maclaren?
Click to expand...

Kate- i have my 2nd maclaren now- and i LOVE it. i would highly recommend looking at one.
 
Well ladies, I discovered a problem my personal STS rotation--dead lifts 2 days in a row, so I'm off to my calender to tweak it. My hiney is so sore from yesterday's legs, that there is no way I could do them again today for back.

Lisa--I plan to take "before" and "after" pics, I just haven't got around to it. I'll do it today, but I won't post them unless the after is dramatic--I'm just too fat right now. I'll probably never look as good as Kate's "before" pics;):):eek:. Woe is me--I'm an endomorph with mesomorphic tendancies--build muscle easily and gain fat easily:(.

Kate--sorry you are feeling sick and I hope you feel better soon--and congrats on the 3.5--I never lose weight that fast unless I'm losing water after a bad eating day. I'm always stoked when it's down another .5 lb (my scales smallest increments).

Hi Loren!

Later
Maggie:)
 
Lorren, Thanks for the vote!:D Hoping to get out of the house soon!

Maggie, oh, deadlifts! I get DOMS EVERY TIME!!! love it! ITA - I wouldnt do them 2 days in a row....in fact, I want at least 2 days BETWEEN them!
My butt is SO SORE from disc3. It is unbelievable. Glad I'm not the only one!
No before pics for me. Dont want to relive the nightmare of SaggyBelly Syndrome!:eek:
 
Happy Valentines! Any romantic or funplans today?

I was going to make awesome dinner and dessert but I was SO SICK y'day I'm not sure I'm up to it yet. Bummer. I'll see how I'm feeling as the day goes on. Gina was sick all day too. We had some WIERD stomach bug.

I'm so glad Julia has avoided all the sickness! I hate when babies get sick!

Have a grea day everybody!
 
Happy Heart Day!!!

Kate - I hate stomach bugs! Maybe you got it from one of the kids on the field trip? Yay for bfing antibodies so Julia doesn't get sick and glad you are on the mend! You see my saggy belly and you'll feel good about yours!

Maggie - DH and I are both trying to lose weight so we're planning on taking before pics also, but just haven't done them. I can't remember what an endomorph and all that is. I know I tend to get half apple/pear shape. My belly and butt get it. My legs tend to stay the same no matter what I weigh.

I did IMAX2 late last night and it was fun!! Okay so I couldn't jump through all the jacks and plie on Interval 9, but made it all the way through otherwise. I of course jumped much lower than Cathe though. DH got me a card and gift card for a facial and full body massage!!! I think that will be my treat when I lose the weight. Let's hope they don't go out of business though with this economy before I redeem it! Hope everyone is having a nice weekend. Saturday morning and already screaming and crying kids, eugh!

Lisa
 
Hi Lisa! What a nice gift! Thats awesome! Mike got me a 90-minute massage for my bday back in OCTOBER that I havent used yet! need to schedule that/.....! I'm sure your belly doesnt look any worse than mine!
I hold my weight in my belly/lower abs and NOWHERE else! My ub and face actually get gaunt-looking when my belly is totally flat!:confused:
Good job on I2! Havent done it in a while....should pull it out. I've been using the vc a lot trying to increase how far I climb.:D

Cake is in the oven. White cake colored pink. Will do 2 - 8" layers and decorate it pretty. Cant find my heart-shaped pan.....:mad:
 
i ran to meijr for a couple things. when i got home mike was like "take herrrrr!:p" referencing julia! i was gone for 30 minutes! what does he think i feel like after all day, everyday! i love my girls, but, moms, you know what i mean!

no cake for me......it just doesnt sound good right now.:confused:
what has become of me!:eek:
 
LOL Kate!! My DH says that ALL the time. As soon as I get home from work, the second I step into the house, it's "Take her!"

I am getting old! I tweaked my back again and can barely walk. Eugh! I thought I heard my back give out last night while working out, but it didn't bother me while I was working out...jumped around fine. Then later this morning after I had Pomai in the baby carrier, I was like OUCH! I think that pushed my back over the edge. Lovely pg. side effects that linger way after pg...:(

Lisa
 
Hi ladies--I think I ate enough calories for the next whole week.:mad::(--but it was really good. I still haven't got around to my before pictures and I really don't feel like it now with the bloat and all. Today was KPC. Tomorrow is rest. I still have DOMS in my legs, especially my butt.

Lisa--Sorry about your back! I hate it when I'm tweaked! I try so hard not to get injured--it really bums me out, because I love to push myself and the older I get the more I have to force myself to hold back.

Kate--sorry you are all sick. Your cake sounds really pretty. In a way, I wish I had not been able to indulge in my confounded cake--oh the calorie count is unbelievable, I'm sure--back on track tomorrow with healthy turkey veggie soup with no carbs!

Someone is always handing me the baby with the words, "She needs you. She's hungry. You're the only one who can help." (not strictly true as she is eating some solids now....but how easily they all forget....)

Hi everyone else!
Maggie:)
 
Really quick post here....Happy Valentines Day. My mom and brother came into town this week (flew down here to Florida from Ohio) so I can't talk long.

Shopping Thursday was great. Found lots of stuff for the Zoester...especially 12 month clothes on sale. Got her a winter coat for next year (we're most likely moving to Ohio for residency).

Yesterday I did Jullian Michael's No More Trouble Zones. I saw people talking about it on the Open Discussion. It was really good...my buns were burning.

Today I did 40 minutes on the elliptical before picking my family up from the airport.

Tomorrow: rest day!

Have a great weekend everyone. I'll be back Monday after all the family is gone.

Becky
 
lisa, sorry for the aches & pains!
i need to use my carriers more.....but my arms are nice & toned! thanks, julia!;)
