Oh man! I hope you feel better soon, I can't imagine being sick during the summer. I'm so sorry! Look at it like a blessing in disguise. You can catch up on your sleep and read a book! Or....watch the price is right.....hahaha

Buckeye! That is so funny that you said that. When I was a kid if I stayed home from school sick, my mom always let me watch The Price is Right. To this day when I see that show on TV I think of being home sick. I didn't watch it today though, my son required more interesting TV, so I watched a rousing episode of Clifford the Big Red Dog, followed by Curious George. I have found that I don't really get to watch anything that I want on TV before 8pm. Thank goodness for Tivo!

I hope everyone had a more productive day today than I did. I plan to go to bed super early tonight so I will feel better tomorrow.
 
Oh wow, nothing reminds me of being sick as a kid more than the Price is Right!!!!! Whenever I get sick, I lay in bed with tea and eat tomato soup and watch the Price is Right! hahaha It is an American past time!

I hope you feel better!!
 
Hey everyone sorry I have been MIA. I was feeling sick last week, then my sister closed on her new house on Friday, so I spent the weekend helping her clean it and painting. We are going back out today to paint some more.

I haven't been doing too terrible with my eating, but I have not been exercising like I should. I am going to paint some more today and try to get my normal workouts in the rest of the week. I will try to do better keeping my posts up.

Thank you for all of your well wishes, my whole family is feeling better!
 
Funmom - glad you are feeling better. how's the little one? I hope better as well. All that painting will burn a ton of calories, so I'm sure you are ok.
 
Thanks everyone!

BDM: my son is better, thanks for asking

The painting is going well, the part I hate the most is the taping. So many corners and so much trim to tape off. My sister is painting her kitchen too, so you can imagine how much fun it is to tape off all of her cabinets. (note sarcasm)

I am feeling totally bloated from TOM, I wish there was a way to stop that and still be able to have another baby. What a sad choice...be miserable once a month for the chance at a baby, or be comfortable with no chance of having another baby...Not fair.

Any way I am having a great time at my sisters house in between painting. Her house is on 12 acres, so we set up a volleyball net and have some frisbees out there it, is great fun to have so much space to run around in, my son really enjoys it too. Our yard is very tiny, so it is a nice change for him.
 
I'd take the being comfortable and no kids imo. Not a fan of 'em. But its only my opinion. Don't hate me!! :(
 
I don't hate you, but I do want a sibling for my son.

I have been feeling so sluggish lately, I don't know what my problem is. I don't feel motivated to do any working out, this is not good. I am going to do some Turbo Jam today. That will mix things up a bit, and hopefully reinvigorate my drive to workout.
 
Did you do your Turbo Jam yesterday? If it's still TOM, that's probably why. It's a horrible time for trying to lose weight lol. Try stopping by the before and after pictures and look at success stories to remind yourself why you're doing this. Hopefully you can get it back :party:
 
Funmom - all that painting in addition to TOM would make anyone tired. I had a hyster this year, after living with many issues for the past 10. It took 7 years between the two of mine (21 and 14) and not for a lack of trying. however, while it's nice not to have TOM, there are other issues to deal with. Hot flashes, mood swings similar to TOM all month long and water retention. I'm just now getting close to a solution, so it's not a lot greener on the other side of the fence. Hang in there, things will improve.
 
Thanks BDM, I was thinking more along the lines of getting back on the pill, not actually removing any parts. I appreciate the kind words.

It has been so HOT here, it is hard to get the motivation to workout when it is hot at bedtime and still hot in the morning when you wake up. I am trying to keep things going though. I have not given up.

I hope everyone is doing well with their progress.
 
Hey funmom! Just seeing what you are up to! I feel you on the weather. It has been unbearable here. I tried to go outside today and the humidity was unbearable. Hopefully it will rain soon so I can actually enjoy the sunshine without looking like a drowned dog. Hahaha Hope you had a great weekend!
 
Hey everyone, sorry I didn't post all weekend I was painting and helping my sister move in. The next thing on the list for her new house is installing her dishwasher and putting up a fence for her dog. I will help but DH will be doing most of that stuff.

I have a good friend who lives nearby but we have different schedules so we don't see each other very often. I saw her yesterday and we have a scheduled workout time on Wednesday morning. We are going to try working out on Wednesdays and Fridays. This will be really good for me b/c I can't wimp out and not workout if someone is waiting for me. I am pretty excited about this.

Hope everyone's weekend went well.
 
I agree. We all need a little accountability in our lives, and it seems like you found more! I work out sometimes with my super fit friend, and my competitive nature always kicks in and my workout (and she claims her's) is always more intense! I'm so glad you're excited! Good luck!
 
I am excited, I mentioned in earlier postings that I have what I like to refer to as exercise ADD. I get bored easily so working out with someone will definitely help.

My scale has been stuck for like 3 weeks. I lost weight initially, but now nothing. I am always telling others to just give it time, work on building muscle, the weight will come off... blah, blah, blah... but man it is frustrating!

I have to get ready for work now, I will catch up with everyone later.
 
Today my friend came over and we worked out together to a Latin Sizzle workout video. It was pretty fun, and it motivated me to get moving b/c I had someone here with me. She is coming over again on Friday and we are going to workout to Turbo Jam, we will probably just do the Learn and Burn session since we are not very coordinated yet.

I am supposed to go over to my sisters house again today and help with some more painting (it will never end!). At least it is cooler today, so I won't be sweating my butt off. If I finish with the painting before it gets too late, I think I will try to get DH to go for a family walk with my son and I.
 
OOooOOoo Latin Sizzle!!! That sounds fun!! Is it like those shows on FitTv where they work out to Latin music??? It sounds like a partner has spiced up your workout! Good for you!
 
Latin Sizzle sounds great! I"m so happy your have a friend to work out with. I'm sure it will help tons :) I know it's hard to get out when it's sooooo hot and miserable :) Sounds like you're doing good!
