Sunday Check In

[jenmgo]

Good morning

I slept in again - 1045. I took the dogs out and im still sitting here almost 45 min later in pj's. DH had a long busy nite at work last nite. He got a late arrest which included fighting, tasing and spraying the guy. I told him the baby wants him to find a new job. LOL. I always use the baby to express how i feel. He is in such an active and sometimes dangerous area, that i worry. He is still asleep so i should get off my butt and workout...

i just cant decide what to do. i had a good long workout yesterday but of course i cancelled it all out by eating what i did. lately i just dont pick healthy things and that bothers me. i never used to be like this at all. and as the scale goes up im more aware of it and have issues dealing with it. so i need to try better today and of course remember its also natural in pregnancy. Im only 15 weeks tho - how much weight gain is normal??

I hope everyone has a great sunday!

Well..im back..but noone seems to be here today
I just completed Tracey Staehle's High Intensity STep Mix 2. Thats a toughie, i think becuase of the length - about 90 mins of step/intervals and tough ab work. go me..i'll spoil it by eating junk tho lol

well hope everyone is having a nice sunday!

Good afternoon!

Jen~great workout! 90 mins! WOW That is scary that dh has a dangerous job, but if I am guessing right he probably loves it. My dh is now a military police and it's not as dangerous (of course till May when he deploys to Iraq), but it's been what he's wanted to do since he was little so I try to remember that he's living his dream.. hard sometimes.

I went to the gym and did 60 mins on the elliptical. I feel so great after working out on that machine. I am going to try to go at least 3-4 x a week till the baby comes. The very low impact I think is helping. I noticed the walking in the neighborhoods here w/ the heat/humidity and hills was making me have more aches and pains. Probably what caused all my contractions the other day too. Hope you all have a great Sunday. We are heading to the pool to relax before this hurricane drama,

Fit Mommy - sometimes my husband enjoys it, others times..not so much. I am also a police officer which is good beacuse I totally understand what he goes through and what the job entails. We both work for the same department but in different areas (spouses arent allowed to work together). So, i know what its like but I still cant help but worry..

GOod luck with the hurricane. We thought it was coming here at first (florida). Fay visited us but it was only a tropical storm. I hear that Hannah is on the way though...sigh...take care in the hurricane, and enjoy the day at the pool!

Hi ladies,
Jen--Yey for the sleeping late! Don't you dare feel guilty. Sleep late AS MUCH AS YOU CAN -- while you can !! Great workout!

Trish--Great workout! I wish my eliptical still worked, but it's resistance is broken. I haven't worked out in weeks. But I think the baby has shifted positions. I feel a lot less pelvic pressure, so I may try to start again until he's born.
-----------
Today we're going to Chuck E Cheese. We decided not to go last night. Hope everyone has a great day!!

Everything is quiet here too. DH came back early this morning, and he is finally getting better (sick stomach). I took DS to friend's house for Labor Day party. It was way too hot for me, so we didn't stay too long. I took a nap when I got home. No workout yet...
We plan to go downtown Harrisburg for fireworks tonight-there is a street festival going on, and I think fireworks would be neat.
I am watching the news about Gustav....scary. Kristan, do you have to evacuate? I forget where you are.

Hey Jen! Glad DH is home and on the mend. Sorry for the heat. It's wicked hot here today too. Maybe that's why I feel like a fat lazy preggo! Or maybe I just AM a fat lazy preggo!

I really want some cc cookies! BAD. I'm so tempted to go make them. Somebody stop me!

 

[jenmgo]

Kate - go for the cookies! they sound really good right now you deserve it - you are pregnant and passed up on the waffles yesterday! (or was it pancakes) Plus you workout like a fiend. ANd im sure your kids and husband will enjoy some cookies

You have to join me so i dont feel so bad about this huge pile of fudge in my fridge that I made.

DH went to work early. A coworker is quitting so they all brought in something to eat on his last day and are having a farewell dinner before they started their shifts. I decided to try some FIRM workouts i got a while ago in a trade, cardio weight transifmer or soemthing like that. it has four workouts on it and i used my own weights. It actualyl wasnt that bad. I was expecting it to be lame and easy but the two i tried were decent. definately not for when you want a killer workout but good for days when you work out more than once (like me, today which NEVER happens) or for when you are low on energy or time.

its almost 9 already which means its almost my bedtime...get up early for work tomorrow...sigh...DH Is off so at least i can spend the evening with him. I inivted my dad over for dinner. im making a meditteranean shrimp pasta dish. Its pretty easy, olive oil, garlic, shrimp, angel hair pasta, tomatos, feta cheese and kalamata olives. Not a bad dish. I didnt get enough shrimp tho so i guess i'll have to stop tomorrow and get some more. We all love shrimp

im still hungry even tho i had some pasta salad. i just worked out so thats why..gonna go see what i've got in the fridge...

jen 1 have fun in harrisburg. did i tell you thats where my husband popped the question? Right on the capital steps at night. it was nice. we ate at that firehouse restaurant and then walked around town and he popped the quesion. We spent the next morning at the Hershey Hotel and Spa at their breakfast buffet which was AWESOME!! Good memories for me when you talk about Hershey

Nope- I am in the middle of the country- Missouri (but we live close to the Mississippi River, which could explain your misunderstanding). No hurricanes here but we do get tornados, earthquakes, floods, ice storms, droughts and locusts.
