Re: Mother's Day Challenge

Today is my first day of my 2nd around, I'll join the challenge if its ok. I'm not sure what type of exercise I can squeeze in I'm still thinking on that, I just got divorced and I am raising my 2 year old boy & my 6 month old boy and working fulltime. So as far as goals i guess i want to:

Lose at least 20#
Clean Induction extended until mothers day.
Drink more than the 64oz. of water daily.
Not be a slave to the scale, only weigh every 2 weeks.
I may think of more later.

Morning Everyone!

Heidi, you crack me up girl!

Welcome Danny, you have some great goals!

Welcome Stacy, your goals are great too. No frankenfoods, I should have added that one!

Elsie, I'm glad you're enjoying some spring weather up there. Our weather has turned cold again this week. Actually had to use the seat warmer in my car the last two days!

Cypressgirl, glad your feeling better!

Recitalmom, hope your doing well!

jsj, hey there, thanks for adding our goals up front, easy to see what eveyone is doing. I like that.

Lisa M., hope you're spring break is relaxing. Well, not too relaxing, you should be having some fun too!!!!

Have a great day everyone. Keep your goals in mind!

Re: Mother's Day Challenge

Okay, I rode my bike again this morning. Butt.....hurts!!!! Next week should be better. I got my crunches in too.
I've had no DR this week so far.
Am struggling in the evenings with sinus headaches, due to pollen allergies. So have to get as much accomplished in the mornings as possible. Guess I better get to it.

TGIF!!!!

Re: Mother's Day Challenge

Heidi, I hope I didn't make you fee guilty. I didn't see your post about walking and pouring rain until after I posted.

You are better than me, I wouldn't go. But good for you!

Re: Mother's Day Challenge

Good Morning Everyone!!!!

Welcome to the challenge Danny and Stacy! I will add you guys as soon as I'm done, Promise!
A two year old, and a 6 month old, I think that's exercise enough! LOL. You must be a great Dad, juggling so much at once. You can do this, we all believe in you. I think your goals look great, you too Stacy!

WELLLLL, I haven't lost anything yet, my enemy TOM is stopping by...I really hate that guy, ya know?!? LOL

BUTTTTTT TODAY IS JOEY"S FIRST BIRTHDAY!!! I am sooooo thrilled, it's rediculous. I am so proud of him and us too for making it this far! LOL. WE had a ROUGH year, between the hospital visits, the jaundice, the reflux, the delivery! LOL. IT was all worth it and I'd do it all over again in a heart beat.

Okay, I'm getting all teary eyed over here, so I better stop.

We are having a huge celebration for him tomorrow...presents, food, cake, balloons, pinata (pull string ) and 30 people. It's gonna be a blast. Tonight he is getting a big boy dinner and a little cupcake. I am so excited.

I have a million and 3 things to do today, so please forgive me for not being around much lately. I have a lot to finish up today and tomorrow will be craziness, and I can't wait! LOL

I will check in asap. Right now Jo-JO is taking a nap. He got his shots today and he is sleepy....

Re: Mother's Day Challenge

I did it!! This morning I went for a twenty minute bike ride. I turned around at just the right point too, because my thighs hurt so bad on the way home I was afraid I would have to walk. And I REFUSE to take my bike for a walk!!!

Lisa, does my hiney look smaller? I tried to pedal as much off as I could.

All you lovely Momma's have a great day!!!



Erin

Woot woot! Look at that hot mama!

Hi! Welcome Danny!

Re: Mother's Day Challenge

Hi all! I am almost recovered from the saga that was strep throat so I'll be posting more. I didn't eat or drink hardly at all for nearly 3 days so my system is having to make some adjustments to real food again

I wish I could weigh but I made a 2 week commitment to no scales so we will all have to wait and see!

jsj - how was the 1 year old birthday? Did you let him mash up all the cake?

How you feeling today??

[Lisa M]

Re: Mother's Day Challenge

Howdy!

So far my exercise today was cleaning my mom's place....yep, that was fun. As fun as cleaning can be.

I dropped a pound somewhere. Guess I could be excited. The problem is, I'm 6 pounds away from my low of 204 that I reached last fall....ugh! Oh 190 looks so far away right now. But it'll happen, one way or another, it'll happen.

Suddenly I have visions of running a marathon or ridding my bike. On second thought, I think I'll take my legs for a walk on my tread mill while the girls watch Cheaper by the Dozen...laugh and walk at the same time.

Re: Mother's Day Challenge

Welcome Danny! My kids are 18 months apart and it is great. A little busy at the stage you are at right now but you will be finished with the diaper stage. potty stage and bottle stage so much sooner. I have a boy and a girl and they are very close to each other. Enjoy them and take lots of pictures because they grow up so fast!!!

cypress...I already checked and it is set correctly. Very strange. I even tried resetting it just in case.

Erin...way to go on the bike riding. I am going to get one this year so I can ride with the kids...but am afraid of the butt hurt ;^)

Heidi...cleaning the garages sounds like a workout in itself!
