Hi awesome moms! What's on your workout agendas this week? I hope to do lots of running. I"ve been running around 530 before work and it's been going really well. My pants are getting tight. Urgh. Need to start eating cleaner. I'm hoping once my elliptical gets here I can squeeze in a couple more workouts during the week.
Any Memorial Day plans?

Mel- I wish I could motivate myself to workout early in the am.
Morris-how are you doing? Getting close!
Suzanne-how are your girls?

Trip went well despite some late nights. Ashley luckily fell asleep in her stroller for naps. Alexis had fun, Ashley not as much. Got stuck buying a ticket home for Ashley . Got her as a nap child on the way to chicago but Chicago demanded a birth certificate and even if we brought one she is now over 2!

Did 2 30 min. jogs on the treadmill and a day of 30 min. of weights on the trip, also went on some walks with the family.

Alexis got her "big girl" twin bed yesterday and loves it.
 
hello girls. cannot believe it is thursday and i am just checking in.

mel, have you tried your elliptical yet}( i was wishing for one this morning. alas, i think i had my last 2 runs this week with this pregnancy. i am 36 weeks, so i should not complain, but i will be getting back to it asap after baby!

elyse, glad the trip went well, and good for you for working out. so, are you a jogger convert now??? or is it back to the step? glad alexis likes her bed. does she still nap? my friend put her 2 year old in a big girl bed to free up the crib for her new baby - no more naps!!

hi suzanne - how are you?

i ordered tracy's strikezone and coreblast - not sure why excpet i am hormonal and feel fat:) h:* ope to get a tummy back soon. pregnancy has been great - i am still doing all my impact (imaxes, bm2, dm) and was running 8 or 9 miles 4 days a week, until today. but, i will not complain!!
 
Hi ladies! Where's Suzanne? Yew Hew?!?!?

A big girl bed. Wow. Congrats to your little princess. My wee-ones are still in toddler beds that are pushed together into one bed. :)

No elliptical yet. I paid extra to have in-house delivery (directly into my fitness room) fully assembled. It won't ship out until early next week & take up to 10 days to get, so maybe mid June even! Urgh! Oh well, I've waited 8+ years, I can wait 2 more weeks!

Morris, YOU are marvelous. Great job on workouts. Shopaholic, I wouldn't get a workout in if I didn't w/o in AMs. I find myself doing "simplier" w/o's though. I cannot coordinate "newer" w/o's or high choreography.

I ordered strikezone too. I bet it'll be fun. I didn't care for her core zone at all. :( Keeping my fingers crossed!

Morris- it is hard looking at our changed pregnant bodies but you have gained so little you will be in swimsuit condition by July I bet! It was funny I was able to jog on the treadmill but can't seem to do it otherwise. Of course, maybe its the double stroller!
Mel-my DH bought an eliptical at sears and reallly likes it. I never use it though. My parents foot the bill on Alexis' bed. It is a twin white platform bed with drawers undereneath. Her crib converted to a toddler bed which is what she was using. Ashley was in a crib we borrowed so we returned that one and converted back to a crib for ashley.
 
elyse, what kind of elliptical do you have??? i am soo envious these days as i am itching to run. but, i will wait until it feels comfortable or i deliver - whichever comes first. finn is in a borrowed crib right now, and i am truly grateful with ds2 approaching. big boy bed is all ready and looks so nice, but i am not in a hurry.

melanie, i went thru a 2-3 month period this pregnancy where i could not exercise in am more than 2 times a week. i have ALWAYS exercised in the early morning. now, thankfully, i am comfortably back to mornings. i don't mind complicated step or hi lo. sorry you did not like tracey's circuit. did you get her core workout? that is the one i am really interested in in the hopes of getting my tummy back quickly. i did kpc this am (with bc cardio only ), and i hope i like strike zone as much.

suzanne, how are the kids?
 
I borrowed several cribs, all which have fallen apart throughout the years! Poor Jadon waited EIGHT months for Justin to get out of his finally,...then it broke! ha ha So we just went straight for the toddler bed. I got Fire Engine & Race Car toddler beds from craigslist, hauled them 60 miles home, then found out that they both wouldn't fit in their tiny room. Life is just so funny, isn't it? So THEY got sold, and I just settled for matching oak style todder beds from WalMart & put cute race car bed sheets on them. Of course Jadon found a black magic marker when we were moving last July,...so...there you have it, toddler beds with beautifully decorated black magic marker race car bed sheets (that I refuse to replace). Ha Ha

I LOVE step & kickboxing. Jogging allows for a seasonal variety. I have my first 5K of the season next Saturday & I'm determined to beat my 14 year old!

My period is late. El cheapo pg test shows a very faint second line. More to come. (Just thought I'd jot that down at the end). ;)

Mel-did you read the directions right! Sorry had to joke! Keep us posted!
Morris- I believe the eliptival is a noditrac but will check it later! Be aware that it is hard to get a child for a nap in a toddler bed since they have freedon to get out. I would keep Finn in the crib as long as possible and keep the baby in the bassinet or a pack and play for a while.
 
Elyse, leave it to YOU to remember!!!!!!! That was about a year ago already.
Congrats Kate! A littl girl, congrats!!!

My 2nd cheapo pg test showed a faint line, will get a top of line one tomorrow or MOnday at latest.

monday melanie???? can oyu wait that long? i am not sure i can. i want to know now!! just kidding;-) how are you feeling? how late are you?
 
Hey Morris. We live in a small town, and don't want to be seen buying a pg test. Ha ha. I think my period was due b/w 24th & 27th of this month. Still not sure how I feel about it, we tried for 18mos& nothing happened,...I was hoping to have already had #4,....and with working 60 hrs/week and having 2 mortgages,...it's going to be, well, exhausting. I"m always so unsure my first weeks of pg so we'll see. :)

I did have a dream last week that our pastor was blessing our FIFTH baby. I was so curious, what happened to #4? ;)
