Sunday Check In

[jenmgo]

What..130 and no check in yet?? Guess i'll start

Good afternoon everyone. I hope you are all enjoying your sunday.
I got about 9 hours of sleep which was welcome. I did a 90 min workout today called Athletic Step Jam with Sharon Money Twombly. Its a CIA workout. Its long and i always get tired near the end, but felt good to do given all the junk i've been eating. I even made blueberry muffins last nite.

My husband just got up so im off to have some coffee and breakfast with him. He is leaving for work soon. THey told him be prepared to work his nite off for the upcoming hurricane. My dad is coming over tonite to put up our storm shutters since my Husband will be at work. Im really nervous, i've never been thru a hurricane before. im scared for the dogs and our property. I dont even know if they will make me go to work or stay home since i'm not in a deputy position right now.

Time will tell I guess...

Jen, I hope you and your loved ones stay safe! Good job on the workout!

Autumn, My lean proteins are chicken breast, lean cuts of steak, hard boiled eggs, scrambled eggs, nuts (huge almond fan here).
When I make scrambled eggs (in a non-stick pan, no butter) I take 1-2 whole eggs and add 2-3 whites, all depending on how hungry I am. Salsa adds a wonderful taste to scr. eggs while adding in lycopene and lots of good-for-you nutrients. The commercially-available salsa tends to have a lot of sodium so I make my own. Very easy - if you're interested let me know. I also use salsa as salad dressing. I never use ranch, italian, etc - hate the taste, thank goodness!

-----
Uneventful day here. Church this AM, out to lunch, no plans the rest of the day. I love Sundays!

Workout will be either LB or cardio, after DDs go to bed, whichever I'm in the mood for.

Ugh--all the painful contractions of Friday and Saturday have all but disappeared. Now I know I'm going to be late. Labor inducing behavior is having a desired effect, but not THE desired effect--KWIM? (devil smiley).

The heat is less today, but it is overcast and muggy and I feel hot and sticky and out of sorts.

Ds14 is on his 50 mile hike. There are lots of forest fires in Oregon right now. I'm trying not to worry.

Our computer "broke" again and I had to do a system repair--that's 2 days in a row. I have know idea what's going on or what to do about it.

++++
Autumn--feeling any better?

Kate--enjoy your day of rest--I love days with no plans.

Jenm--stay safe re/the hurricane. What state are you in?

Maggie - sorry to hear you havent given birth yet! I'm sure it will happen very soon for you. Just hang in there. And sorry to hear about computer problems. I HATE when computers dont cooperate. They really try my patience when they dont work the way i want them to!

I live in southwest florida, on the gulf coast. Im in Fort Myers. My dad and DH are putting up the shutters now. The house is getting all dark. Its very depressing actually. No more sunlight. I think tomorrow morning it'll hit Cuba and then its projected to hit here mon nite into tues. I've never been thru one of these before so hopefully everything will be ok. Maybe it will die out and go out to sea. Doesnt sound like it though. Ugh...Poor DH has to get ready for work in about 30 minutes and he wont be able to relax. I feel bad. He doesnt want me to lift anything. Meanwhile my dad is barking orders at me to lift stuff haha. He doesnt seem to remember i'm pregnant. Then agin...i do lift weights...

Kate your breakfast and salsa sound good. I just made sausage and peppers, a big batch because DH requested them. Altho he might not be around to eat them if we get activated
I'll have to send dad home with some too.

Well, if you guys dont hear from me for the rest of the week starting mon/tues its because i dont have power or the hurricane was worse than I thought it would be. Wish us luck and pray that the deputies keep safe out there on the streets! ... We really should get paid more...

Hang in there, Maggie! It will happen soon! Hope DS’s trip goes well. Maybe baby sis knows she should wait til he comes home??

Jen, I hope the hurricane amounts to nothing and you all keep safe. That’s sweet DH is watching out for you! My DH? Not so much! Y’day at the grocery store I was loading all of our groceries into the back of the Durango while he was just standing there with DDs watching me! I was like “Hello! Pg or not, get your butt in gear and help me!” Men! I think he's just used to me doing a lot, but still.....

Mike and the girls went outside so I did B&G, minus the G. Also had to skip low-pulse lunges (Julia was in the way!) and a majority of the floor work. Oh well - I can still tell my glutes have been worked!

Hope everyone is having a good afternoon!

Wow--quiet day around here--everyone must be having a busy weekend...

Jenm--I'll be praying for you re/the hurricane. We don't have tv, but they did talk about that particular one on the news break on the radio. Stay safe. Will your dh have to be out in the hurricane?

Kate--maybe she will wait for big brother. He was bummed about possibly missing the birth, although I assured him that she would still be "fresh" when he returned. Those low pulse lunges kill me (although right now I couldn't do one to save my life-LOL).

My feet are so swollen I have a permanant crease between my ankle and my foot....

Good evening ladies! I'm busy uploading pics to myspace..... oh DH snapped some great pics today!! He is so talented! I love my DH!!!!!

Jenm ~ Are you feeling better about being Rh-? I will keep you and yours in my prayers!

Kate~ thanks for the info. I really need to take care of myself. The veggies are easy right now. I have been eating tons of maters from the MIL's garden.....and cucumbers. We have an aerogarden full of lettuce. I worry about fall & winter when my veggie selection is pitiful. Tell me more about your salsa..... I got maters ya know. I usually throw tomatoes, garlic, lime, onion, & cilantro (I know everyone doesn't like it but I think it is sooooo yummy) together in my handy dandy chopper. I like to mix it with black beans.

Maggie ~ LOL about desired effect. Sorry about the painful ctxs and no baby to show for it yet.

I do feel pretty good today..... but that makes me nervous.

Hi Autumn--I remember that really early on, morning sickness with some of my pregnancies would sort of come and go before it really kicked in. It made me nervous too. I'll be praying for you. When do you go in for an appointment?

If the pics are on your Cathe myspace, I'm off to look at them now. Ds 14 took a belly shot yesterday, but I haven't even got it on the computer to see how it turned out. I look so chubby.... but I promised one.

Autumn--the ones I just viewed were uploaded on Aug 3, so I guess the others aren't up yet. I'll check back later. Your kids are sooooo cute. I love the one where your son has what we call "naughty boy hair" (all spiky).
