Sexy moms and happy babies 4/11-4/16

Christine- You are not ancient! Bah! Plus you are hotter than me so if we went out together, all the dudes would flock to you with your rockin abs and body! I'm might do revabs in the AM and then Insanity or STS in the PM if I can fit it all in! LMAO on the soft porn and the "hallway" comment...it took me a minute to figure that one out and then I remembered what my DH said. I should ask him if the "hallway" is smaller now. :p I'm sure we can find the rotation online. I will look and let you know so you don't have to worry about another task in your already busy life! We appreciate you so much! I noticed the last two weeks when I was doing the Insanity/STS that I am exhausted most mornings. But I love the results I am getting! I weighed myself last night (after eating all day) and was down to 132! I'm not trying to be but I guess I still have body fat to lose. I'm hoping with the next two rounds of STS I will put on muscle. Big hugs to John! I hope he feels better soon! And I hope you get some rest momma!

Melanie- The countdown is on and you will rock your race! I am so proud of you getting this far with your hectic schedule. You make me pale in comparison but I look up to you. And you and Christine motivate me to work harder with all of your challenges and you continue to set hard goals!

Susan- I think less is definitely more with your house. I'm not much of a decorator and I don't like alot of things on my walls or knick knacks around my house. I do love family/friend pictures everywhere because I think its warm and inviting. We've been in our house almost 6 years and I have yet to really "decorate" it. It's my home, not a museum. :D

Hi Priscila, Lisa, Judy and Kendra! Have a great Friday!
 
quickie here K is up squirmy
didnt feel like workint out this AM...but did Travel Fit..not much..but I got al ittle burn here and there
OK..Christine....now I feel REALLY OLD lol

bb
 
real quick, will bbl, susan, I did not like travel fit either. did any of you pre-order the shock cardio? You get free downloads of them. I got an email about it. Too bad I am not a huge fan of the series!
BBL you young things!
 
Thanks Christine! I looked everywhere for a rotation to download and couldn't find anything.

Susan- At least you did something. I haven't done anything for two days! I am hitting Insanity and rev abs HARD on my rest week!

Christine- Are there certain rev abs dvds that are JUST abs and not a bunch of cardio? Which ones would be good to tack on at the end of Insanity for a straight ab workout???
 
hi! JOhn is asleep on me. He has a cold and has been a terror for two days, was up crying ALL night. I feel so bad for him but am frustrated and tired. Boo.
Jen- Full THrottle Abs
Merciless Abs
MErcy Abs
Again, the music is weird and it really sounds like soft porn. DH was doing MErcy Abs and I had to come downstairs to see if he was watchign cinemax. It works, though, so that is all that matters!
I was bad and had a lot of buttered popcorn before bed and am so puffy today.
Jimmy and I are headed to the hardware store to get seeds and stuff to plana summer veggie garden. We did it last year too and he LOVED it.
Susan- I do not decorate at all! It always looks like we just moved in (except all the kid crap everywhere!).
Jen- LOL about the age thing! Girl, if we got out for a night out, you know what would happen? We would talk about working out and kids and guys would think we were nuts! And I would be asleep by 8!
Okay, got to figure out how to get dressed and not wake up the sleeping bear.
Mel- Countdown! Hooray! Have fun shopping and you will rock the race!
Lisa- Your FB post about the teeth was a riot.
Hi Priscilla, Kendra, and Judy!
 
Hi ladies
house showing in 45 min..hope its the last freakin one!
Chritine-same here..my house usually looks like we just moved in. I have good intetnions to decorate..but never get around to it. I don't like clutter and so plain is better for me anyway. Poor John! Hope he feels better soon. You should be napping with him! I did preorder shock cardio..only done 1 of them
Jen-so are you doing insanity and revabs at the same time? Im sooo confused on what to do. clx,revabs,insantiy, sts/shock cardio..whew I do know I get great results from weights.
We have company coming from Nahsville on Tues thru Friday. Its my best friends and her daughter and Haley are best buds. Im not telling Haley and going to bring her friend, Avery, with me to pick her up from school She is gonna freak out! My friend, Amy , has 4..Avery, Aidan, Atticus, Abby 10,8,5,2..so this house will be jumping for a few days!
K just got up bb after showing.
 
Christine- If we did get all dolled up to go out, I could so see us dropping down on the floor doing pushups and planks. :p

Susan- I will now be doing Meso 2, Insanity for Cardio and the Rev Abs that Christine said are just ab work.

With that being said, I am eating a potato ball and beef empanada. YUM!
 
Like Jen, I kind of combine them all. I vary my abs and cardio in the rotations, and focus on Revabs and Clx for abs aand weights. I am not a huge fan of the clx cardio, it just does not push me enough, so i put insanity in there. I do the revabs intervals and stuff on days when i have the energy to throw an extra workout in, they are less than an hour, which i really like.
I wish I could nap when john does, but jimmy is here with me. WE just got home from the hardware store and are about to go outside and plant a garden. SO much for my rest day, I just hauled 8 30 lb bags of soil out back, and 4 40 lb bags of river rock! DH will laugh when he sees that I bought our kid bags of rocks. He said it was the best present ever. Ha!
Susan- I hate house showings, but how great is it that you have a clean house for your guests! You will be busy with the guests, guess DH is out of luck! Tee hee!
Okay, got to garden. An empanada sounds awesome. I am going to be a piggy today. Just feeling like the body needs grub. Ever have those days, where you feel your body craving fat and carbs? That is me!
 
No more Yoga - for now...

I started Yoga after my second baby was born and it really helped me slim down. I am pregnant again and have had to give up on the Yoga because i just don't have the energy. I am walking every day and that is helping.

Any ideas??
 
Showing went great. They will call this weekend..so we'll see.
Christine-do you have awesome weather there? I always here about how great SF weather is. Rocks are the best toys! ACtually dh might get even more lucky. With company I will be in our bed all night long lol. I plan on bringing the pack and play in our room and let the compmany have K's room...so needless to say he'll be all over me lol.Where do you find your energy?!?!?! I think I will do as you suggest and kinda combine everything. Is there an "easier" insanity to start off with so I don't get scared lol??
K is napping and Im eating a......brownie and coffee...Im bad!
 
You two are animals! Just finished the garden. We planted seeds in planters of red bell peppers, orange bell peppers, basil, tomatoes, orange and yellow carrots, baby carrots, sunflowers, stock flowers, and strawberries.
The weather here is great, really mild, rainy this winter though! Never really too hot in teh summer, except a few weeks at the end. I love it. I actually lived up here when I was young before we moved to Mexico. I have great memories here, it is so kid friendly. We spend every minute of the day outside if we can! Instead of nap today, Jimmy has quiet time in teh backyard just shoveling rocks and dirt. He is so happy. John is finally napping. He is awful when he is sick. I am actually enjoying giving my body a break from cardio and stuff today. DH said he will do baby duty so i can try to slep. My training schedul increased, so i am doing 18 miles tomorrow. I really need some rest. You know that this means john will sleep through the night, right?
We are takign jimmy to a car show at the high school tomorrow. Jimmy is like rainman with cars. He knows every make and model and year. He is so excited!
As for insanity, sadly, there is no easy one, but the ones for the first month are MUCH shorter...
Crap, he is awake. Boo.
 
K is still asleep and its about time to get H..I hate waking her up!!!!
Im so jealous of your weather Christine. I DREAD summers int he south. hot and humid..YUCK. I already dread walking to the mailbox. Im def moving in with you..I will do baby duty..there that will work.
Sounds like Jimmy is having a blast!! He will love the car show..fun! HOpe John feels better quick. He needs to be up at least a few times for dh! 18 miles..you are a maniac!
I guess I will jsut have to dive into insanity and hope for the best!
Better go get K up...luckily shes happy when she wakes up.
 
I swifter and every couple weeks use Murphy's Squirt and Mop. Where does the dust come from..I swear I dust 3 times a week!
 
I feel so out of the loop! I had a huge day at work yesterday and have felt blah the past couple because of the cold. Hoping to do some sort of workout tomorrow evening.

Susan-hope you gt an offer on the house! Once I can actually use a computer, I'll check out those pics.

Jen-I'm kind of getting in the swing of things, but the weeks...and weekends...just fly by! Never enough time...

Melanie-I'll be thinking about you tomorrow! Can't wait to hear how it went! Christine-enjoy the car show. It amazes me what kids can learn and remember when it's something they are interested in. I wish I had your greenthumb. My gardens fail, though I do think it's partially my soil. I've thought about doing some planters, but then I remindmyself that I hve a hard enough time remembering to water the TWO flower pots I have. Maybe some day..

Hi, Allison, Priscilla, nd Kendra!

Welcome, Judy and congrats on the twins! I'm 28 with a 19mo old son and 2 1/2 mo old daughter. I work full-time in the office of my city's Macy's store. I'm a MN girl wth Melanie...though we live hours and hours away!

time for a beer. I've fallen into a bad habit of drinking the 100 cal Mich Ultra Pomegranate Raspberry. It takes me forever to drink though, so at least it keepsme from nibbling other things...that's what I tell myself anyway.
 
Finally, I'm finally getting better and feel like myself again. It's been a hard week. Just finished taking with my mom who was in Honduras with my sister (my sister's DH is from Honduras). I was missing her so much and she got to hear Daniel making all kinds of funny noises.

Susan, your house is beautiful, you'll get an offer for sure! Are you not doing CLX anymore?
I haven't done it in almost 2 weeks due to the stupid stomach bug.

Jen, 132 already? Wow, all I have to say is that whatever you're doing is working! I'm down to 138 but just in the mornings ;)

Christine, thanks again!!!! I previewed some of the w/o but my volume was down to 0 because Daniel was napping. I don't usually get annoyed by music or outfits so it will be fine with me. Couldn't find the rotations tho..

Melanie, ready for the big day?? Sending you strong running vibes for tomorrow, will be thinking of you!

Lisa, are you sick too? I hope you get better soon. DH is with the flu too so I'm hoping I don't get that one too

Kendra, are you still around? How are things?

Judy, My name is Priscila, I'm 35 y/o and a mother of a 4 1/2 month old named Daniel. I have been married for almost 3 years and work as an orthodontist in TX. Welcome to the forum and please feel free to post anytime. We talk a lot about food, fitness and of course our little ones :)

Ladies, off to have a family night, maybe watch a movie with DH here at home

Waves!
 
hey..went back for some more reading since I can never seem to remember it all the first time :)


Prscilla-how was family night? watch anything good?

Jen-that's awesome you are getting such great results! enjoyed the hallway size comment, btw...very witty ;) There are so many new workouts I want to do AND keep trying to run..oh, where to start?! How many days/week have you been working out? Do you do an Insanity one day and then an STS another day? I feel like I need to set up a real workout plan...just not sure what I want to focus on, how to fit max work into min time, and still not over stress my joints.

off to bed. good night!!
 
Lisa- I do STS one day and then Insanity on the cardio days. I just try not to do a leg Insanity if I just worked legs or vice versa. I think the combo of Meso 1 and Insanity leaned me out quick! Now I am hoping to put back on some muscle to be a little curvy and of course, lose my jiggly belly. I've never followed a rotation before (too ADHD I guess) so I am really proud of myself. The only thing with STS is that I didn't do that 1 RM. I plan on finishing Meso 2 and 3 and then hoping to do CLX. I'm probably working out 5-6 days a week but I don't stress it if I miss a day here and there and just make my weeks longer.

Priscila- Yay! I am so glad you are feeling better! Hopefully you can workout soon! You must be super close with your mom. Sometimes I wish my mom and I were like that. We used to be..but things have changed. I never realized you were 35! You look like you are 27 or 28! Hot momma! After being sick with flu and stomach garbage is when my body started dropping weight so hopefully you will too!

Christine- I did rev abs last night after one of the Insanity's and it is cheesy but I'll tell ya what, I DO feel my abs this AM. I didn't do all the cardio bursts but really enjoyed the plank work in the one I did. Can't remember the name of it and its in the DVD player still. I think whatever his name is, is annoying. And the saying is cheesy but I can block all that out. Hope you guys have fun at the car show! I can't wait until James is old enough that we can take him to fun things like that. And I am so jealous of your garden! Its a running joke in my family that I can even kill fake plants....

Ok off to put james down for a nap. BBL!
 
Priscilla- HOORAY that you are on the mend! What a great thing to hear. I wish I had a mom to talk to, it is wonderful that you get along so well. I hope that you get to enjoy the weekend feeling better!
Lisa- Sounds like you have a great day planned. You are hanging out with mom today, right?
Jen- I know, so cheesy, but it works. I hae some Kari ANderson videos like that too. I find her voice annoying, but her workouts are awesome! Jiggly belly? I do nto think so.... Do you need glasses?
OKAY... MELANIE! GOOD LUCK TODAY YOU FAST STRONG MOMMA!
Susan- YOu have a full house, hope we hear from you, have fun!
Kendra and Judy- Hi!
DH did not do night duty. I got up with JOhn three times, 9:30, 10:30 and 12:30 and finally just brought him to bed in the guest room with me. He is a booger. I hope he sleeps better soon. Bah. He did sleep a few hours with me but woke up for the day bright and early at 4am. WTH? Why me? Oh well, I am having some coffee and enjoying that there is no noise in the house and nobody is asking for food or a fresh pot of coffee! DH brought home deep dish pizza last night and it was so good. I need the long run today to get that off! I am so bloated! OK, got to run, might watch 90210 on tivo before the troops wake up.
BBL, have a great day mommies!
