[morris]

happy labor day everyone! hope you enjoyed the holiday. i unfortunately am starting the week with a bout of mastitis. i am hoping to feel better in 24 hours but right now am looking forward to bed. finn and i are otherwise well. after a rocky start with dh's absence (Finn decided to eat every 2hrs round the clock for the first 3 days), we have settled into a good routine. finn actually went 6.5 hrs between feedings last night.

i actually got in some very broken workouts last week which i was happy about, but i am definately not able to do as much as i'd like. oh well.

shopper and mary, i got a bumbo seat today as a treat for finn, and he loves it!! i have some good pictures, so let me know if you want them e mailed to you. he just smiles and laughs when i put him in it.

mon - run 8 mil, musc endurance lower
tues - imax 3, musc endur upper
weds - attempted to run, never could; plb stability ball only

Morris, I hope you feel better soon. Did you get antibiotics?I had it twice with Alexis and felt sicker than I ever had. Great workout week, as usual. Ashley has been loving her bumboo seat as well. I will post my workouts later. My weight seems to have risen a pound, ugh! Hopefully I just had too much salt yesterday and holding water.
Ashey is doing well and actually slept from 10 pm last night to 8 am. Amazingly she has been waking up happy and now watches everything.
Hope all you other mommies are doing well.

i am on antibiotics and feel better today luckily. i still feel the lump though and am not sure if it will go away. did you get it twice in close proximity with alexis? what was it attributed too?

Morris, both infections were in the first 3 months. The first went away on its own, the second needed antibiotics. I think I was blocking the milk ducts in the way I held the breat for her to latch on. None this time. The lump did go away.

Only 1 walk last week on Thurs due to rainy/cool weather.

Workouts:
Sun-terminator+BC cardio
Mon-Hardcore extreme-high impact with leg drills
Tues-gautlet +firm abs day 1
Wed-TJ fatblaster+TJ PKJ + 15 min. of tae bo total adv.
Thurs-tj CARDIO PARTY 1 + Turbo sculpt

morris i sent you a message. shopaholic...way to go on the sleeping. andrew is sleeping about 10 hrs. at night also which is amazing. my big guy is starting nursery school on monday and i am a wreck. i feel like he was just born and now i am sending him to school by himself(gosh it goes so fast) well as for workouts i have re-discovered the firm and i must say it has been fun. i bought the newer series which has the box that goes from 6inches to 14 and also has an incline option. these videos remined me more of the old time firm, they are a bit more challenging

Here is my week. It was great to go horseback riding again.

Sunday - Horseback riding 1 hour
Monday - Chest, Triceps/Back, Shoulders, Biceps/CoreMax
Weds - Imax 3
Fri - Imax 3

I am finally getting some 3-4 hour stretches out of Katie. I even got a 6 hour stretch one night!

My oldest started 1st grade! It has gone so fast. It is strange being home on my days off with just the baby.

I am soooo jealous of you ladies getting so much sleep. Alice has decided to do 4-5 hour stretches again. She was doing 8 hrs. I think she is in a growth spurt right now. <big sigh> Less sleep = crappy workouts = cranky mommy. Oh well, it will get better soon, I'm sure...

I missed last week's check-in. I had four workouts in and lost 2 lbs. Yeah. Lost another pound last week. It's kind of weird, but, after I have a couple of good workouts and then take at least 1 day off, I loose a pound. I like that.

Anyway, here are my workouts from last week:
Sun: off
Mon: Burn it Up
Tues: Imax 2 and Ab Ripper 200
Wed: off
Thurs: Jari Love's Slim & Lean
Fri: Low Max
Sat: off

Have a great week ladies!
