Natalie, ^5 on the squeaky clean eating, I cannot imagine that would be easy right now with everything going on. How exciting to set up your new workout area this weekend!
Colleen, whew, sounds like a really busy time for you in your job. Sending you willpower to make it thru the day today, then hopefully you can have a nice relaxing weekend.
Klaudia, today is a new day! We all cheat sometimes, and we all make it back onto the clean-eating-wagon eventually, it's all good!
Kate, PACK YOUR BAG ALREADY, WOMAN! Are you gonna post when you go into labor? And by the way, my favorite cookies are oatmeal chocolate chip!
Emily, I don't blame you for needing a nap after IMAX3, that one kicks my a$$. What did you decide on for dinner?
Angie, when are you moving?? Do your best to get your workouts in at the hotel, but don't beat yourself up if it doesn't happen -- life is a little bit different right now.
Robin, your menu yesterday sounded delicious!! How did you like the steak??
_______________________________________________________________
I am feeling good this morning -- I have had three days of 100% squeaky clean eating and I really do feel so much better when I'm eating better.
Today will be busy at work -- my colleagues last day on the job, so I will spend all of my free time in his office coming up to speed on his case load.
I am leaving work early to go sit at an information table and talk about my organization. This event, I think it's called "Fireproof U", is put on by the local fire dept and it is taking place at a student housing/apartment complex. My understanding is that they have built a model dorm room, and then are going to set it on fire! So that should be cool, and my boss is letting me take Collin, so that's a bonus.
Tomorrow we are going to the pumpkin patch to take a hayride out into the field and pick our pumpkins. I'm excited, will try to post a family picture!
WO this morning is PUB -- be back later!

Klaudia, Sorry for the off day with the eating y‘day - and no WO!. I think you look absolutely fantastic, but I understand about not eating so hot. Glad you had fun with your friend though!
Colleen, I hope today goes better for you at work. C’mon weekend!
Natalie, It must be so exciting to be in a new house! I think it will be a while before I get to do that again.
Katie, I will do my best to let you girls know when I go to the BC. Sounds like you have a nice day/weekend planned. Have fun with PUB!
----------------
Both girls will be at school this AM so I’ll probably WO then do some paperwork. No plans for the afternoon. In the evening we go to Fall Family Bonfire at the preschool. It’s cold and I have no appropriate maternity clothes to wear so I really don’t feel like going but Isabel is so excited so off we go! I know we’ll have fun and we’ll be glad that we went. Gina’s excited to visit her old preschool and that she’ll be “the oldest kid there”! LOL!
WO - hopefully UB weights while Dds are at school. Maybe MM UB?
b - shredded wheat, apple slices
s - Clif Bar, post WO
l - taco salad, grapes
s - ???
d - !!!!!!!! At the bonfire there will be hot dogs to roast. I do NOT want a hot dog!!! I’ll have to figure something out for me.
Tomorrow Mike is doing some shooting comptetion so the girls and I are making and decorating Halloween sugar cookies. yay to the fun, boo to the calories! Soooo hard to resist! My sis is coming home from college for the weekend so she's coming over to do that with us. I'm excited to see her! It would be so great to have the baby this weekend so she can be here to see her right away, but I'm not holding my breath.

For the first time EVER, I matched Cathe's weights on PUB!!!!
I FEEL LIKE SUPERWOMAN!
Kate, the bonfire thing sounds like fun. Take a blanket! I wouldn't want a hot dog either -- ever since the scrapple incident, I can't eat any type of processed meat! Eat some protein before you leave home, and take a honeycrisp apple with you to much on!
Off to work, check back MUCH later -- I probably won't get home until 9 pm or so!

Good going with the w/o Katie!!!
The steak turned out very good. Thanks
Kate enjoy your bonfire and Katie enjoy the hayride pumkin patch trip. Here they are having a NC fair but I'm not sure if I can drive there. I may ask my cousin to take us b/c it's in Releigh NC.
Today's plans are to do Leaner Legs, laundry max, and new members church meeting tonight.

KAtie, Scrapple.....shudder! Blech! Thanks for the blanket idea - I didn't think of it. ^^^5 on PUB!
Robin, I really want CTX - maybe for my bday if I drop the appropriate hints to MIke. Like, "Honey, buy me this!" Hope you have a fun weekend! How are the kids doing?
Gina's off to school, Isabel will be soon. Then I can MM to my heart's content!

Hi Everyone,
I have a pile of work to do and I have barely started. I need to get moving so I can get out of here today. Otherwise I will be here until 7.
Kate, I don't eat hot dogs so I would definitely need a plan B for the bonfire.
Katie, I would love to see them burn down the dorm room. Why are we attracted to such drama? ^5 on matching Cathe in PUB.
Klaudia, don't worry about the bad eating. I will probably blow it tomorrow because we are going to a wedding.
Robin, how far is Raleigh from you? Have fun with Meaner Legs today.
Angie, how long do you need to stay in the hotel? Will you move into your house when you get to France?
Emily, sorry you were stuck working in Vegas. My last trip I got a terrible cold but started feeling better when we went to the buffet at the Wynn. The food was great and it was so good to eat.
w/o was GS BSB, Step portion of Step, Pump & Jump
b: oatmeal w/ almonds
s: banana

s: chopped veggies & hummus, apple

Okay, we're back from the park. It was a beautiful morning and the girls had fun. I pushed Ellie in my new stroller (Quinny Zapp - love it!) and Annabel rode her bike. Fun morning. I am trying to cherish the weather here because I know I'm going to miss it. The best part was that Ellie (who just finished potty training) decided she needed to go while at the park. Well, we had to be old fashioned and pee on the ground becuase there was no bathroom. Well, she decided she had to poop too.
Anyway, no WO this morning. Ryan made me sleep in. He gets worried about me when I get super obsessed. I just like to be consistent.
So, the gym situation at the hotel - I'm not sure how good it is. Haven't seen it but I still have access to our club here which is pretty good - just no classes. But they do have childcare for 4.50 for two kids for an hour so I'll be using that a lot I think.
Katie, WAY TO GO on PUB! That's so awesome. Have so much fun tomorrow at the pumpkin patch. I'm not sure what we're going to do about that. Hopefully we'll still go.
Katie, seriously get your bag packed. That little one is going to come before you know it. Have fun at the bonfire.
Colleen, we'll be in the "hotel" which is really a one bedroom, VERY nice condo starting next Tuesday through the end of October. Then Ryan will go to France and the girls and I will stay with my parents in IL for the month of November and then we'll all go to France Dec. 1. But, I'll get access to a Lifetime gym while in IL so that will be good! Hope your work all gets done today!
Klaudia, hope you're having a good day! Your menu looks good!
Okay, so yesterday's eating wasn't too bad. Had a subway chicken sandwich with lots of veggies and some baked lays for lunch and then another turkey sandwich for dinner. Not super clean but at least low fat and no grease!
Going out for dinner with a friend tonight and shopping - I'm looking forward to it. I'll eat well.
Katie, I'll definitely have you make me a new rotation when we get settled. Can you or anyone else recommend good "gym" workouts? I'm so bad at doing things myself but if I have it written down I'll probably do it.
OK... long enough.
Hi Emily, Natalie, Steph - hope you're all doing well!

Angie, LOL! We've done our fair share of squatting beside a tree too! Glad you like your stroller. I'm trying hard NOT to buy the Bumbleride one I want. Only a matter of time til I give in tho I think! Good job with the eats! That's nice DH is concerned about you, too.We were looking back at old pics and Mike was commenting that I'd gotten too think in the past. LIttle does he know I'm planning on getting that back post-pg! I loved losing the weight after Isabel - hoping it goes easy this time too. But I'm closer to 30 this time so I know my metabolism is different. Hope you have a "bon" afternoon!
Better go get some things done while Isabel sleeps.....like pack! Yeah, right. I'm gonna do office work! I really want to have that stuff completley done before she arrives.

Today was much better. I got my workout done. Holy moly! 4DS BC is tough! I was a bit queasy when I finished.
Eats were good, too. Ate what I had planned. For dinner I ended up making an asparagus and portobello mushroom frittata with feta-delish.
Kate, if you lose anything but the baby weight, you'll disappear!
Angie, I'm in the throws of potty training my 2 year old too-fun stuff, n'est pas? Hey, maybe we can do the check-in in French once you move
And hi to Stephanie! I knew I'd forget someone. I'm sorry.
Hope everyone had a great day!

Klaudia, J'adore 4DS BC! I made Mike do it with me once - LOL!!! You're too kind - I'm sure not disappearing anywhere! Eats were clean today except for a carb attack on the tortilla chips at lunch! Oops! Those blasted things are so darned addicting! Bon chance with the potty training! WAH - I thought I would never have to do that again!!!! Actually, the girls were quite easy. Isabel had it down pat by her 2nd bday. Gina was a little after hers.
The bonfire was nice - I kept it clean too! No hot dogs for me! The girls had fun. I smell liike a fire pit now though, so headed off for a nice hot shower. It's 65 degrees in this house - freezing! But I don't want to turn the heat on yet because then we'll never turn it off. I'll have to think of *something* to do tonight to keep sweaty, oh I mean warm.. That's right...warm!
