Superbowel is cool, but our babies are cooler Check-in

Morning Ladies!
Kara is on a roll...yayyy! 8-5 then back asleep til nearly 7..ahhhh. Haley is home with a major head cold. No fever, but I don't want to subject everyone to her consant nose blowing and whining about it. Oh, I hope K doesnt get it!!
No workout yesterday..grrrrrrrrr. Dh leaves for Vegas today and will be back Friday..mom is here..so she will be here to help me out with K.
Will be back in a bit.
 
Morning ladies! Last night was my first night "on duty" while Dh was working and I had to work this AM. J went down around 9pm and slept til about 230a and then went back to sleep around 330-4am so I got about about 6 1/2-7 broken hrs. Not bad for his first night. He was awake when I picked him up at daycare and zonked out around 6p until about 640p. He played for a bit and then I bathed him and fed him about 745-8p and he fell asleep right at 9p. I am hoping that this can be our new schedule although I would like for him to sleep past 230a. But we will take it in baby steps.

It was a hectic morning because I have to be in at 8a so when DH got off at 6a, he woke J up and fed him and got him dressed and ready for me, which helped immensely! I probably won't get any w/o's in this week until I get into a routine. At least I have my weekends (hopefully).

Hey Allison! Does Drew sleep any better/longer after you give him cereal? What cereal do you use? I am so lost when it comes to choosing cereal.... I can't believe he is 5 months already!!! Time goes so fast..... No my IL's live about 40 min away so yes, it is for a few hours but even sometimes THAT is enough! :0

Thanks Mel for your input! I think I have tendonitis in my left wrist from holding James. It felt better last week because I didn't lift weights but I did on Sun so I think it is aggravated again. It feels a little better after using the Tiger Balm on it although the girls in my office aren't enjoying my new "scent." :)

Susan- Did you get a workout in? Hope you had a nice time with your mom and bought something nice for yourself if you went shopping!

Have a great day ladies!
 
Allison, I have no idea what Cardio Fusion is? It sounds good though. I have the book You on a Diet. I should read it. I tried to read it once & couldn't get into it. I also have the Sonoma Diet....which seems good, just have never tried it. You just can't try them all! lol I cannot believe Drew is so big already! Wowzers.

Jen, none of my weeones stayed on any sort of "schedule" until closer to 4-6 months. When cereal is introduced, it's normally rice cereal that is given first. Some people "swear" that it "sticks to baby's ribs and they sleep longer". Never worked for me & literature says it's a myth. lol Don't fret about workouts this week. If you can....just even 20 minutes every other day may help with your moods-- changes in your routine are going to be more prone to stress.

Susan, are you having fun with your mom? How's the cake doing? I hope you can squeeze a workout in today. Yeah to Kara for her sleeping roll!!!

Christine, you out running in the sun? I"m having fun w/GFW. Yesterday was just over 3000 calories. I did xStretch (an hour long p90x stretch) plus 4miles on elliptical. That was a "lighter" workout day for me. It must be calculating nursing calories?

I am so excited! I"m down another lb today. YES!!! I like to consistently lose & get so discouraged when the scale doesn't move for 3 days. This is the 3rd day....so yeah!!! I'm at 148...

Menu yesteday:

3/B: Turkey, mexican cheese, 2 egg omelet
S: none (company)
5/L: 1/2 roast beef, cheese, spinich, mustard, WW bread sandwich + 8 oz milk
4/S: Double Smoothie (blueberries, milk, pp, orange, benefiber, yogurt)
1/D: 1/2 cup nuts
5/S: 1/2 roast beef (the other 1/2 from lunch)

Total PF: 18

I received my steel oats in mail yesterday so I tried a crockpot recipe for this AM. I haven't tried it yet. It has cinammin & apples in it. I'm a little scared. I usually am boring with my oats.

Workout today: 3 miles of hills (per training schedule) and 4 mile walk w/bambino
 
one handed so will type later for more... john has been a wreck. he did not nap from noon yesterday till almost 11pm. and then up a lot of the night. i am questionming if there is a god. we are running off to cooking class in a few.
cardio fusion is my fav high calorie workout. it takes the cardio blasts from drill max and body max 2 as well as the extra cardio segments from low imp circuit and body max 2. i burn over 800 calories when i do it.
allison- you crack me up. glad drew is doing well. we have big boys!
jen- you have your hands full. wow, how do you do it all?
sysan- yay for kara but boo for the head cold.
mel- yes, the calories are very accurate. you will seee big changes and decrease if you do not get enough sleep. kind of cool. you burn 75% of daily calories when you sleep, so that is why us tired ladies feel porky! glad you are liking it. and give yourself a sexy pat on the back, you look great!
jen- i have the same problem in my wrist.
ok, got to load up the kids. bet you a dollar john poops at coooking class.
i might kill my husband, he renders himelf useless at night.
 
Christine~ I hear you on useless husbands at bedtime! lOL You won't like my cure,....HAVE TWINS! lol He's great now...has no choice

We're off to grocery store. Jadon and I have a date....my goal is 3 hrs or less...it's an hour away! Wish us luck!
 
Did not gen todya, did Cathe Hi0/20 and the ChaLean Burn Disc ne. NOt a hugeof the chaleafar. I think I need heweights to like it. truction is good and she annoying, and offers many variations in equipment that you can use. I like that. I hate staring a program only to realize you need a million new pieces of equipment. I loved the 40/20. Wow, got my heart rate up and it was short, which is great for mister no sleep. Go figure he has now been asleep for over an hour. Grrr. We have a play date coming over. IT is like a blind date, I have never met the mom or the kid. Too funny. A friend from high school saw on facebook that we live near eachother and got us together. Hope she is nice, we coudl use some friends! Cooking class was great today. We made sugar cookies with icing. Mmmm.
My MIL is coming on THursday so that hubby can go to the superbowl. We are DIEHARD Saints fans, so this is his lifelong dream. She is fine in small doses and much better without FIL. She will be able to help with the kids so I can get some much needed rest and great workouts! Hooray!
I am making a tri tip roast and big cobb salad for dinner. I am craving red meat. Yummmmm.
So, Jen did you get James? How was day care today? How are you adjusting?
Mel- How was time with Jadon?
Susan- Haley feeling any better?
I am excited. I got into my size 28 jeans today! Woo hooo!!! A few more months and I will be a 26 again, I hope. It is nice to not have to unbutton my pants when I sit down on the floor. I have added a lot more strength training in and have been less aggressive on low sleep days. My body is thankful.
Off to put on mascara so that I do not scare off the play date. I smell like a barn and need a shower, but what is the point. I will get pooped on and barfed on shortly.
 
I have Cardio Fusion. I don't have CORE fusion. Did I miss-read something?

Christine~ Sorry weeone is being difficult.

Grocery store took 4 hrs. I"m beat...I only got 5.5hrs of sleep last night (according to GFW). I might skip the 4 mile walk tonight & try to get baby to bed by 10PM instead? We'll see....

How's everyone else fairing today?
 
you are right, I read it wrong! I had the same bad night of sleep. We got JOhn down at 11 last night (after 11 hours of no nap). He slept till 1, got up to eat and barfed. I got in bed again around 2:30. At 3, my other son peed in his bed, so I had to strip that bed and remake. HE needed me to snuggle him to sleep. THat was 3:45. At 4, john woke up to eat and barfed again. Awesome. THen hubby's alarm went off at 4:30. I broke all the rules and had a mountain dew today. yikes! but it helped!
 
No Christine! Tell me it isn't true!!! You didn't have a MOUNTAIN DEW, did you?!?!??!!!! lol I hope it was a 2 LITER....after your night you deserved it!!!!
 
Hi ladies.
sorry I have been mia..mom being here has thrown me off. will try and check in tomrrow..no workout today.
You girls make me smile!!! Thanks!
 
Don't worry SuzieQ---we will be here when u come back.....go ahead and finish off the chocolate cake...we'll never know. We're still shocked that Chrsitine had a MOUNTAIN DEW!!!
 
here is the funniest part...
I was at Toys R Us getting some cars for Jimmy who now mops the floors and sets the table, os we had to cash in. John was SCREAMING and we were checking out, I grabbed a mountain dew (gasp!), knowing stopping for coffee would casue a family meldown and the checker would not sell it to me. My response was "are you retarded?". He said , "No, maam and that is not the way you should speak to me."
So why not sell it to me, because it was expired. I told him, I do not care if it expired in 1985, I am a tired bi#CH and need caffeine, so ring the damn thing up. Can you believe he would still not ring it up? I said can you get another? No. Are you high? He said that it was not appropriate to declare he was a dug addict. I marched over to lane 2 and had the woman who does not speak english to ring up my damn mountain dew. Cheers. IT was mmmmmm good.
 
Kids in bed!..ahhhh Since Haley is sick she wanted to sleep with me. I have been sleeping in Karas room...Haley would normally sleep with dh..but since he's gone i had to come up with plan b. Kara's carseat is in the middle of Hlaey and me in the king size bed...settled!
Christine-you go girl...I am lol so hard from your story!
Melanie-I did have a little cake!!! Its about gone now and Im throwing the rest out!!! Otherwise I have eaten well...just the darn cake! I'll count my pf's tomorrow. Did you decide to walk tonight??
Jen-hope James went down early for you tonight! Hang in there
Allison-hi!! Yes, I am using the carseat in her crib. When she wakes up at 5 to nurse I put her down in her crib minus the carseat...and for naps I don't use it...but it really helps at night!
Hi everyone. Im off to bed!
 
Christine, I think I woulda been scared of you....and just GAVE you the MD if I was your checker. He does sound retarded. :p Did you get your sleep then?

Susan, I just KNEW you were eating that cake. I could smell it on your words (internet breathe). lol

Jen, how's the childcare situation going? You hanging in there?

Allison, tell me about this Core fusion! I love to work my abs!!

I DID end up walking tonight. It's not even so much that I crave it (I do love it when I do it).......but the girls are so crabby this time of night & they snuggle in & sleep for the duration of my walk. It's peaceful. The problem is that I get the endorphin high & then can't sleep until midnight. I was so tired earlier, now I"m typing to ya'll.

Today's Menu:

3/B: Steel Oats w/apples+ walnuts + chocolate milk
S: none
5/L: 1/2 sandwich: roast beef, cheese, mustard, spinich, ww bread + diet pop+ cashews
4/S: the other 1/2 sandwich
2/D: fried walleye + 2 cups veggies, milk
2/S: diet pop, vitamuffin, cashews

PF: 16!! I didn't feel like I really ate that well. I'm so proud of my body, it seems to know when I"m hungry & when to stop eating now. I have all but stopped "mindless" eating and now have "on purpose" eating.

Night Night Ladies!
 
Morning!
Ok night here. Haley is such a mover at night that Kara woke up 2 times. MIght have to try another arrangement tonight.
I am challening myself to a totally sugar free day here. Wish me luck
Not sure of my meals yet. Im sure some type of soup lol. I made a double batch of the broccoli chowder...and pea soup is on the horizon again. Did I mention I LOVE soup???
Mel-do you walk with both the girls?
 
Susan, sorry Haley isn't feeling better? Is she staying home from school? I walk with just one girl. Am I a slacker? lol My double bjorn isn't comfortable enough for both of them....together they weigh about 16lbs....I'm probably not strong enough to do that either!

Baby Jadon gets his haircut this AM. Tomorrow i get my hair done...which normally is exciting....except I"m fixing it up to prepare to go back to work. :( I enjoy my job, but oh how I long to just stay home with my kids. I love them soooooo much!!

I think I will try Kickbox Surge, haven't done it yet.
 
Melanie-Haley is fine today. Yesterday she was bouncing off the walls feeling good! She did have fun with my mom. Besides a snotty nose she is fine. I didnt want the teacher to have to endure her constant blowing and whining yesterday..mom just took her to school!
Let me know how you like KS. bbs
 
Christine- You are the voice in my head that I wish I had the nerve to let loose! LOL I laughed so hard at your check out story. That guy was retarded.

Melanie- I know how you feel about the job. I enjoy my job and am lucky enough to work w people I call friends but how I long to stay home w James!

Susan- I haven't tried the soup yet but I plan to soon. I've been on a soup kick lately too. I think its because I am trying to get my veggies and salads dont appeal to me right now.

James seems to adjusting well to his sitter. He slept last night from 9p-4a! Daddy is picking him up today and then will have James home w him all day tmrow since hes off! Yay! I will get sleep tonight because DH is taking the night shift.
 
I stuck with my training program....just 30 min tempo run today. I feel like such a slacker, running just a few miles at a time....but this is the "intermediate training schedule"...and I know that I"m not advanced. Tomorrow I have a light run + strength. Maybe I can justify doing kickboxing for strength if I use hand weights? LOL

How's everyone today?
