Happy Easter Moms. Hope everyone is having a great day!

I wanted to make sure I posted, b/c my computer crashed this week (and I"m borrowing a laptop from a local pharmacist). My new computer won't be here until Friday or so, and I have to return this one tomorrow. Anyway,... long story short (or maybe not too short),...

I was able to fit in 5 workouts last week. I'm not sure if I'll be able to today with holidays and all. My workout log is downstairs but I'll try to remember best I can.

S: Hardcore Extreme Intervals
M; TBAL #4
T: Amy Bentos ASC1 parts 1-2 (twice) + ASC2 parts 1-2
W:
R: KPC (don't like this one much any more, I think I've done too much)
F:
S: Mindy's Cardio Option (really liked, haven't done in while)

Yeah! I remembered! Kids are doing GREAT! So healthy. I"m staying strong as well,...not fatiqued. It's amazing how I was so worried about being so fatiqued,...goes to show you that worry never helps.

Have a great week ladies. I'll try to check in from work. ;)
 
Melanie,

Worry can never help but that is easier said....
I hope everyone had a great weekend with family.
My Easter Sunday was one of the worst. My 2 year old acted
like a 2 year old hauled off and hit me in front of my family
and my dh's too. I was asking her to help Mom clean up to
avoid big and little people from tripping. I had my head down
and she got me. Before I said anything she ran to Daddy as if
she was hurt. I was still picking up toys with a line of
people looking as if I was the worst Mom in the world. I hear
hubby consoling Jennifer. I said in front of many," Please help
me once in a while I am always the bad guy." At this point my
eyes well up and I run up the stairs to check on my sleeping 7
month old. I could hear my Mom saying." Suzanne needs to cut back
on her hours, etc." Then my sisters and sister in laws saying,"
She needs help coping with Jennifer." Needless to say I felt like a
34 year old baby crying. My sister in law took me home where
for the first time in a long time I rested and read the Sunday
paper. I felt like a failure and need to address this w/hubby.
Jim is usually if not always sitting with my brother in laws
drinking wine while I am runing around chasing my very active
and sometimes mishevious Jennifer.

I know I should be grateful for us to be healthy but its not easy
when you and your spouse are not on the same page. x(
 
I will post later but just wanted to say Suzanne you are not a bad mother! Sorry to hear that you weren't given the support you deserved! Sending cyber hugs!
 
Marriage is HARD!!!!! Urgh! Hang in there, communicate your needs to your DH. You're a great mom!

this is my first chance checking in this week, and suzanne, i just am so so sorry!! it is awful to have public displays, horrible when family is around, and so sorry dh was not more in tune. you are not a bad mom at all!

mel, great workouts, hope you are doing okay this week. have you tried amy's new ones yet?

elyse, great workouts as usual. i bet the gym was fun.

well, dh willl be home next week, and i am ready. somehow i have gotten myself out of bed the last 5 mornings for cardio. almost didn't this am, but glad i did. i am going to try my new amy's either tomorrow or saturday and am excited. my current issue with ds is the climbing. we have a tile floor in the kitchen, and he is obsessed with climbing onto our chairs. he has fallen 2 times, no serious injuries, but it is a game to him to climb, esp if i try to get him not to!

can't ermember all my workouts but i did all the gym styles, and i did cardio everyday - 4 days of running, 1 hi lo, 1 step, 1 kb. i need to write things down!
 
No computer yet,but I have a loaner...

Elyse, how do you find the time 2 w/o? u must w/o 2 hrs/day???! I'm so sore from my 1hr of w/os ;)

Mel- I do around 1.5 hours a day, 2 hours including stops for children. I work out with the kids. I often stop and start to deal with them.
