STS first time!

Marie, B looks absolutely darling! I could just sniff and cuddle him!
Congrats on the float pool job! High five! It's so great you have the post-partum goal to reach toward!
I tried Ferber with DS2. Can't remember if it worked. I remember he used to wake in the middle of the night and cry inexplicably, unconsolably, and it wasn't hunger or diaper. It would freak me. It was infrequent though.

Carolyn, your kids' sleeping stories are adorable!

Colleen, that bread looks incredible. And interesting!

Missy, hope Boots is better!

Jean, hang in there!

Hi Mary!

I hope it warms up. It was only high 30s yesterday!

Not much going on this weekend. Everyone enjoy yours!
 
Hi girls,

Marie, b is so adorable. I can't remember what method I tried but it was a method about sleep patterns and I followed it religiously and both my kids slept thought the night around a 2 months old. I did let then cry it out, it was so terribly hard, but it didn't take long and it worked. They both can sooth themselves to sleep. Although my daughter has always been more difficult to get To sleep and to this day she still is. My son on the other hand is easy.

The bread is very tasty and simple to make. It seems very healthy too.

Today I did yin yoga. I wasn't really in the mood to workout a d just felt like a relaxing workout.

I'm now getting my hair done. I'm getting highlights and a hair cut. DH took dd and DS to swim lessons today. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

AB today :) I just love that one. I had major DOMS in my legs from yesterday's workout so I made sure to stretch real good today.

B and I took a 2h nap today. That felt so nice. I am not much of a napper but I was just super tired today.

I put B to bed awake about a half hour ago in his crib. No crying and now he's asleep. Happy mama!

Missy- You had a productive day :) Gotta love getting new fitness clothes!

Carolyn- So true about one approach working for one baby and not another. We co-sleep with B too at times. He sleeps so much longer when he do. Last night he did good in his crib though. Slept 10-4:30. Fed and then back to bed til 7.

Colleen- You're right! It is so hard but if it works I'm down with it :) Feels so good to get your hair done! I bet it looks great.

Betty- Thanks so much! Poor DS2. That had to be hard. Glad it didn't happen too often though.

Hi girls. Happy Sunday.

Not workout today. DH and I have been in a spring cleaning mood. Cleaned the basement, went through all the kids toys in the den, cleaned out the laundry room and the hall closet. We also got the patio furniture from the basement and out it outside.

I'm very happy with how the highlights turned out. I don't do them all year round. Just the spring and summer. I have naturally very dark brown hair and in the spring summer I get tired of it being so dark. I also have lots of gray so I have to keep up with color and/or highlights. I'm go every 7-8 weeks. So in the winter I just get my roots colored to match my natural hair color. I also think the lighter color makes me looks younger. Ok. I'm babbling again. Lol.

I just showered so we are going to go for a drive and then maybe hit a park to let the kids play. It sunny and 60 today but a little breezy.

Missy, enjoy your soup. I'm in the mood for pizza today.
 
Supercuts for me today. First time doing that one and I loved it. Went super quick. How about those 8 sets of 5 sit-ups into 5 pushes?! Omg! Wow!

Missy- That figure comp will be super fun! Can't wait to hear all about it.
 
Good morning!!! Why do the weekends go by so fast???? I sure did NOT want to get up this morning. It rained all day yesterday....from about 9 am .....and it was still raining when we went to bed! Lets just say i was worthless yesterday...lol...the rain just makes you lazy! I did do hardstrikes....cook my soup...and a loud if laundry....thats it!! Good thing i did all the other chores friday afternoon!

Colleen...hopr you enjoyed your pizza!!

Hello mary, betty, marie, carolyn, and jean!!!!

Check back later!
 
Happy Monday Ladies. We have had such pleasant weather here. It has been sunny and in the high 60's. Today is cloudy with a touch of light rain. I love Spring.
I am finally done painting the basement. There are a few things to be done down there but they involve my husband. So we will work on that on his days off. Today I am painting the ceiling in the smallest bedroom. I hate painting ceilings.

Marie Congrats on the new job. When do you start? Seeing as you are still young , you will have plenty of years to work in the post-partum unit. That pic of Breckin is so adorable. He has gorgeous eye lashes and a perfect nose. It is so fun watching him grow up.

Missy How is Boots doing? Are you seeing any improvement in his ability to pee without pain? How do you roast your chickens? I have never roasted a chicken. I am afraid they will turn out dry.

Colleen That is so nice that your family enjoys going for drives.

He Everyone.

Jean
 
Jean---I take a whole chicken...rub with extra vir olive oil....put some seasoning on top....and put in a roasting dish with lid....oven @ 350 for 1 1/2 hrs...remove lid and bake for another 1/2 hr....when it is done it is so yummy...and moist....I have never had a dry chicken. I do buy "greenwise" farm raised no hormones/antibiotics meat!

Carolyn---I was doing so good...and saturday came....ate pizza, m&ms, and a donut....OMG....and then last night we ate at the inlaws....so I ate again when I got home....so basically saturday and sunday was a waste....so trying to be good today too! :p

Boots is doing really good...yesterday he napped in my lap all afternoon and we watched movies..... he is peeing without pain now...and he is not sitting int he pan...he is eating his new food....so he is feeling much better....but his bladder was full of crystals...hoping the food is disolving them....he goes back in 2 months for a followup. Thanks for asking Jean!!! Hugs!

Gotta run...at work and people are everywhere!
 
Good morning everyone! It's school vacation week so I'll be sleeping later every day. It's nice at first but not as much so later.... I hate my day all messed up and delayed.

I'm going to attempt Ride this morning with a new soft square seat I bought!:D. Will let you know how it goes!

Sunny & gorgeous! But the sky isn't blue or clear--it's clouded!
 
Enjoy your school vacation Betty! I'm like that every weekend. I love to sleep in, but I feel like I'm getting a late start to my day. If you call 7:30 a late start. Lol, but that's sleeping into me. Funny yesterday both dd and DS slept in and I wanted to get up. I was so nervous to go downstairs at 7:30 bc I didn't want to wake them. I did get about 20 more minutes before DS got up. Dd didn't get up until 8:15. Not a normal morning in my house.

Great job on packing Carolyn. Are you getting excited?

I did bb this morning. For some reason I was really lacking in energy this am so I didn't complete the whole workout. Only did about 45 minutes. I just wasn't feeling it this am. Maybe like finish tonight. It not like me to Not finish a workout. I did go back and look at my calendar and yesterday was the first rest day for me in 14 days but yesterday wasn't really relaxing wither. So maybe I just needed to rest today.

Missy, I didn't end up having pizza. I ended up making shrimp with crab meat in a garlic marinara sauce over angle hair pasta. Yummy!!!

I hope everyone is having a good Monday. .
 
Hi everyone,

Rather sobering and sad news from the Boston Marathon. An explosion near the finish line. Not much info yet on anything. It's definitely known that some people have severe injuries. No reports of any deaths so far.
 
Rather quiet here today.

So I did the full Ride this morning. I think I clocked fewer miles today than I did with Express CM! I am tired. It was disconcerting to be dripping sweat in so many areas, I had a new seat on, then all the new moves. Forget about keeping up with Cathe! I was too busy trying to get the right form; I still don't know what's right or not. Also, my quads are total novices in spinning!:eek: So, all in all, it was, shall we say, a learning experience. I did BS Bis too.

Colleen, there's nothing like a day at the salon! Aaaahhh!
I used to not budge in bed too, even if I had to pee, because the slightest noise might wake the sleeping kids. Somehow they always sensed movement when it was near time to wake up. Now, thunderous noise wouldn't wake them.
When's school vaca?
Do you sub coconut oil for butter? And if so, in its entirety?
Take a full-day rest day!

Carolyn, awesome for packing already! I'm a last-minute Millie.
Men can only think ahead to what they're doing at the moment. I get the same thing.:mad:
Have you tried CrossTrain yet?? I'm beginning to despair that UY will never go to the $50 threshold again!:(

Marie, isn't SuperCuts a gem? I love that one. But hate those situp/pushup combos:eek:! I can only manage a fraction!:eek:

Jean, nice job finishing painting the basement! What a huge accomplishment! There's definitely a light at the end of the tunnel.:)

Missy, that roast chicken sounds delicious! I can smell it from here!;)
A figure competition seems interesting. Keep us posted. I think Amanda used to do them?

Ladies, just enjoy your sweets and treats. Don't even call them cheats.;)
 
Betty I am watching on t.v. about the Marathon. They are now reporting 2 dead, 19 injured. What on earth is happening to our world? Where is all of this cruelty coming from? This is just sad.
 
Great job on ride Betty. It's a hard one!!! I recently made some chocolate chip cookies (gluten free) and subbed coconut oil for the butter. I used the same amount and they turned out great.

Carolyn, good job on AB. I feel ya today. Mine workout was really hard today too for some reason.

Missy, my eating was off this weekend too. Saturday night I ended up having two glasses of wine. And yesterday I was snacking all day and I has a cookie.
 
Unspeakable sadness at the marathon bombing. I cannot wait to hear the warped hate behind this one.

Colleen, I love the idea of subbing coco oil for butter! How do you measure out a stick of butter equivalent??;) It will be hard for the nonbelievers in the household too! I'll be getting major resistance. I"m already getting ribbed for 'my obsession'.

My bike makes a funny misalignment noise when I stand and ride. And I think we won't keep the new seat. It makes the height even more high for me, and DH doesn't like it either.

Everyone, don't sweat the sweet treats. You deserve it! That's what we work out for, so we can indulge every so often!

Think I might pull out AB for Wednesday.;)

Good night.
