Okay, just finished a game of darts with dh. Dinner was leftovers and it was okay. Then dh brought home some suckers for the kids and I never eat hard candy but I shared one with Andrew and now I'm craving hard candy. He also brought me home some sugar free popsicles, so I'll have one when the kids go to bed.
Welcome Liz, I love the name Liz. Anyways, I'm Crystal, sahm to 3. Alisa 5, Ally 3, and Andrew 18 months. Found out I'm expecting #4 in Feb. I've been married for almost 9 years. I'm a Watkins rep and fixing to become an Avon rep. I also homeschool. I've been here for several months and it's wonderful. I decided to stay on to make this the healthiest pregnancy possible. Glad you're here.
Leigh, your pictures look really good. Keep up the good work.
Okay girls, I'm still not able to count calories or I could but I'm not because the thought of food literally makes me sick so I just eat what I can when I can. I'm hoping by the second trimester if not sooner that I will start back counting when I'm feeling more normal. Is that okay? Will that still help me if I'm starting later in the preg? What are your thoughts?
Well, I'm going to my sisters tomorrow, she's is going to sign me up with Avon. I'm gonna do Watkins and Avon and hopefully pull in some more money. Is it normal, I don't remember, to be hungry almost right after I eat? I mean I'll eat dinner or whatever and get full, but not long after that, I feel like I'm starving again. I hate this feeling. Well, I'm getting ready to put the kids in bed, so I'll check in tomorrow.
Good night to everyone.

Crystal...I think it is still important to count calories at this point to make sure you are getting enough for you and baby. But deciding to eat healthier is always a good thing, no matter when you start doing it. So I think once you get over the sickness you can get back on track to correct any problems you created during this time, just be sure you are getting enough now!!!

Leigh...I weigh in on Fridays and I hope it's good!

WElcome to Liz!! Glad you are joining us!

I will try to post again in a bit, kinds wild here for this time of night!!

Love to all!!

Hello ladies,

Late post from me! Working on getting some of the rummage sale stuff together and priced...my least favorite part!

Hi Liz, I'm Geri, 40 yo Mom of Will (3) and Tony (1) and have been married 4 years now. Got a late start! This is a great place to be.

Crystal...don't be silly! You can post as much as you like no matter how your diet is going! You're pregnant silly...and now that you're always sick, eat what you can when you can. We're here for you.

Ricci..weren't you doing body for life earlier? Or was that someone else .

Melinda...I want to go bike riding! I was tempted to go tonight, but I'm so totally unprepared for this stupid sale I figured I had better get my butt down here.

Cindi, I'll keep my fingers crossed for your WI! You're doing great! Hope Dh finds a job soon!!! Didn't he have a good interview either late last week or early this week? Ikes!!

Leigh...great pictures. Want to come organize my mess?????? Impossible! Your before/after pics are great also. I too have dark hair/skin tone...you remind me of me..but oh so much younger.

Nags....glad you could pop in! Sorry about TOM...

Hi Di...send some gifts my way. My Dh is impossible to shop for. He says he doesn't want anything...so that's what he's getting! He buys for himself on Ebay anyway. We don't exchange much and the boys are still too young to get "Father's Day" anyway. We'll do cards. I usually make them but with the sale tis weekend I picked some up at Walmart when I went on my diaper run tongiht.

Spryng...did you get some relaxing in tonight? What did you end up doing with Ava?

OK, I've got to get my butt to bed. The zoo was fun and alot of walking so I'm tired . I'll talk to you all tomorrow! Hi to anyone I may have missed!!

Good Afternoon Ladies!

Ok You have all made me feel so good.... blush blush Thanks for all the sweet comment.... but as you can see..... I hid behind the kids....LOL

Spryng,
Glad you got things back to normal and back to routine. I had the same situation on the night of Andrew's party. A friend's little girl asked to stay the night then started crying at 9:30 to go home. I had to drive 30 minutes there and then another 30 back! I know how you feel about wanting her mom to come get her!

Leigh,
YOU ARE ONE HOT MAMA! I think we are built about the same! Can I borrow that outfit.. You are doing awesome! And I will check out your new scrapbook space pics.

Michelle,
I am so happy you found those books! Are you reading them now? Have you ever ran into MrsJim on 3fc? She has been on Body for Life for a long time now and she is a moderator here. Please keep me informed on the program!!!

Nags,
I sure wish they had a drive in here! I hope you had a wonderful time and that is great that you are bringing your own snacks! Please let us know how the movies are! I saw Shrek 2... very cute

Di,
How did you do on your points today??? Do tell about the Father's Day gifts! My hubby is getting a stainless steel bbq pit and a little blower for the hot attic's he works in (he owns his own a/c business) Hope you had a great day!

Crystal,
That was nice of hubby to bring home the sf pops. Hope you enjoy them. I think you should stay on top of your points also. But that is your decision.

Misty,
Don't keep us in suspense. What is the name of the new plan??? Hope to see you post again soon!

Geri,
Glad you had a great time at the zoo! How's the weather there right now???

Melinda,
How is your appetite? I know mine changed alot after I weaned. You are doing great! How is everything going with JW?

Welcome Liz,
Hi! I'm Penny, Mom to three boys Hunter 4.5, Nicholas 3.5, and Andrew 1.
Tell us more about your goals! How much are you wanting to lose? It is great to have you here!

Welcome Jessica! Hope you love it here!

Ricci,
Congrats to you You did awesome at the recipe club! And with your exercise you will do great this week!

Cindi,
Please let us know how you are doing! I know the kids are keeping you busy!

Well,
I hope I didn't miss anyone

I did ok today.... Helped my mom start moving more stuff into the house. I feel like a burden though with all the kids there.... sometimes I am more trouble with all the kids than I am worth.... LOL But my mom doesn't seem to mind.

Have a wonderful night! Penny

Hello all!

Can't really get personal. It's been one busy day. I've been busy most of the day and then SIL and I ran to joplin to check out Hobby Lobby's crochet stuff... we were dissapointed with their prices, but it was fun to get out for awhile. MIL took Tanner and her little girl (she is almost 2) so we only had the older kids which made it nice. But we got home late, I got Tanner to sleep finally and now I'm ready to crash. SIL plans on coming over tomorrow too so I may not be on here too much. But it looks like everyone is doing great! I'll get more personal tomorrow! And welcome to the newbies!! I look forward to getting to know you better in the near future. TTYL!

Hi all, well after spending about two weeks at getting up at almost 8 am, I'm up at 615 this morning. Not sure why, just couldn't really go back to sleep. I'm hungry and I know the kids will be up soon. We're heading out after breakfast, so I'll get a little head start on them.
Well, sounds like everyone is doing great.
Michelle, glad you and dd enjoyed your swimming. Where do y'all swim?
Cindi, thanks for giving me your suggestions. I'll try to count my cals today if I can. You sound like you're doing better. Maybe because you're not watching that other kid, huh?
Hi to everyone else. Hope you all had a good night and enjoy your day. I'm going to sister's to have her sign me up with Avon. I'll talk to you all later.

Starting a new thread - talk to you there!
