PP Thursday!!!

[jaypea]

Yeah, I am so excited. Today, we are getting Verizon Fios TV. And, with it, a free year of their DVR service. I will now get Fit TV too! The only thing is, they will arrive between 8 and 5...gotta love that! So, basically I can't go anywhere today.

Aidan slept in his crib all night. I have been guilty of putting him in his bouncy seat (while in his crib) to get him to sleep. But, lastnight, no bouncy seat needed. He slept for about 2 1/2 hours at a time. He's up now, though. I can't believe he will be one month tomorrow!!!

Stephanie-How did the workout go lastnight? I have that one, and I may give it a try today too. The ab binder is basically a girdle, and I hope it helps hold my ab area tight during workouts. There's nothing like shaking flab! It didn't come yet, but I will let you know how it works.

Kate-yeah on the ab workout and the kind words from your daughter! What w/o do you have planned for today?

Lisa-Congrats on your new baby!

Trish or Candra-Which one of you said you have the Taut Tummy thing? I think what I ordered is just like that, but it's from a different company.

Hello to everyone else!
-Jen

Hi ladies!
Jen--Sorry you have to wait on the cable guy all day. You'll love FitTV, though! Glad you had success with the crib! We bought a Graco pack n play and are using the bassinet attachment in it so we can keep him in our room (our room is upstairs, and the other rooms are downstairs -- something that DH likes but I have always hated). Anyway, the pack n play bassinet has a vibrating feature, which Charlie LOVES. He's been sleeping really well in it. As for the workout: I didn't do it. DH worked late, and by the time he got home I was exhausted, so I flaked out. I told him that I definitely needed to workout tonight. Hoping he doesn't work late.

Hi to everyone else! Hope everyone is having a good Friday-Eve!! Can you believe that it's just a few weeks until THANKSGIVING!!! How crazy is that? It's 77 degrees here today too. Feels more like summer than fall!

So I know I'm beating a dead horse talking about this, but my body image is totally blown --I almost threw up when I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror last night before getting into the shower. I don't know how I'll get my old body back. SOOO.... all you clean eating mamas, please write down a sample of your daily food intake --bfast, lunch, snacks (if you snack) and dinner, etc. I'm having a hard time falling back into my clean-eating routine and need some new suggestions. Thanks ladies!! One day I'll quit complaining.

not that im a perfect model of clean-eating, but this is my general day

s - clif bar
l - salad of some sort (big!)

Thanks, Kate! Sounds like what I'm doing, but I've not been getting my fruits and veggies in like I should. Happy cleaning!!!

Hi ladies!

Let's see if I can figure out how to post a pic on here....ok give me another post for the pic. Have to resize or figure out how to do it w/ photobucket on here.


Anyway, I'm finally feeling somewhat normal although like Kate I'm doing the one hand typing thing. The first night home was pretty hard but now she sleeps like an angel. She gets up to eat and right back down. The hardest part is finding time for all mykids. DH has been wonderful so can't complain here although my owm guilt is a different story.

Can't wait to start working out. Breastfeeding has done wonders for now.

Hope everyone is doing well and babies sleeping well for their tired mommies.

Stephanie - My overall eating is pretty clean - a lot like Kate - whole grain cereal, salad, sandwiches, etc... BUT I tend to sneak in chocolate and such in between although the halloweewn size candies make it easier to do it in moderation or so is my excuse.
I'm trying to break the sweet tooth habit though and it is hard.

Lisa, Glad to hear all is well! I'm so exicted for you! I absolutley love having this baby! Even more than I thought I would.

I GOT TO GO OUT ALONE TONIGHT!!! I went to Kohl's and Meijer! I feel all giddy! I raced home before Julia's next feeding but it was so worth it!

My abs are WICKED sore from CoreBlast y'day!!! wooooo hooooo!

See ya in the mornin'!
