Happydaisy,

I do yoga here and it's self-led taken from a website. If you want it I can give it to you, but have to warn you it's w/ adobe and takes a bit to load. It's a whole book, but I Just printed out pages 68-76. Some of it I can't do because I don't have the strength yet. But I really enjoy it

A good video is Denise Austin's Power Yoga. I can't remember the name of it right now, but it's REALLY good. I memorized parts of it that incorperate into my yoga routine.

Hello ladies,
Along the line of the bikini on the fridge, I have a picture of myself taken about 6 years ago when I looked my greatest. It helps, I know I will never look like that again if I give in. Although the last couple of days I haven't gotten much of a workout I have a sick kid and I have spent the most part of the last 3 days holding her. Maybe I will be able to sneak a little in this evening after my husband comes home.
Have a good day all.
Jen

man this is a true test..

I'm so stressed out right now by my 2 kiddos.. I just want to open the fridge and pig out!

Mama2aredhead - I hate to ask, but what are theydoing. My own little "angel" has been a bit of a handful tonight. He's sick, so I have to give him a break, but still....

Becca - Thanks, I'd love the website! I'll check out that Denise Austin DVD too. I have her kickboxing one and I enjoy it.

Debbie is teething, so she is just being awful..

Kaytie is really tired and will not go to sleep.. everytime I put her down she was crying....

Just one of those days I guess....

What is everyones goal today???

I have to tried hard and not eat crap. To day is DH's birthday.. I'm going to try and get him to go ou and walk with me..

Then he wants to go out to dinner


oh and get 1 gallon of water in today!

Well lets see goals for today....

Foodwise- I don't want to eat any more bread (I tell you bread will be my downfall!) Drink atleast 8 cups of water.

Work out wise- I want to take my daughter in her stroller outdoors for an hour walk outside. Then in the evening I want to hit the gym for 2 hours or so for a complete work out. I need to incorporate more strength training into my excerise routine. Oh yeah and mop the floors. Hey you beurn calories mopping too!

Ugh I feel so bad about yesterday. I did great Calorie wise but I ate my last meal very late because I worked durring dinner time. *sigh* so far doing better today.

Goodmorning ladies!!! I'm in an emotional rut...I think I may be one of the only single moms posting, but I'm going out of town this weekend (I leave in the a.m.) and my son is going to his father's house to stay. His dad "tries" to be a father, but in my opinion isnt around enough and doesnt help me monetarily enough, but needless to say, he's Gavin's father and it makes my son happy to be with him, so he's going. I'm sad. I miss him already, I've cried twice already today and I get choked up just mentioning it. I hate to think something bad may happen to him while I'm gone. I would just die. Being the fabulous moms you all are, I'm sure youve stared at your children while they are sleeping and just thought they are the most gorgeous things youve ever laid your eyes on....I just have enormous amounts of love for my child, and it grows everyday. I hope I make it through the weekend. Maybe a whole cheesecake would make me feel better! NOT. I will post Monday. Have a great weekend everyone.

Hey ladies. Im just checking in, so far i've been sticking to my little plan. I've been working out since Sunday..Im so soreeee ..So how's everyone else holding up ?? I hope you girls are sticking to your workout plans

Hi!! I would love to join this thread! My name is Pam, I am 28 and have two boys, Tiernan is 6 and Aidan is 20 months old. I have been married to my husband for 7 years and we currently live in Syracuse, NY. We moved here 2 years ago from California.
I currently weigh 198 pounds and I would love to lose at least 50 pounds. Before I had my younger son, I weighed 236 pounds, I joined Weight Watchers and lost 72 pounds (I got down to 164), then I got pregnant. I gained most of it back, lost 45 after I had him, and since have gained back about 20. It is very depressing. I have started doing weight watchers again on my own this week. I am really serious and motivated. I know that I can do it because I have done it before. I would love to meet other moms to help encourage eachother and help us stay on track . Maybe we could have a weekly "weigh-in"??
Talk to you soon ! -Pam

Hi Pam! I'm Angela 21 (2 weeks till Im 22!) I have a 10 week old named Clover- anyway I weigh in On Sunday's and I am not particularly looking forward to it this time around. I didn't really fail in my diet but I didn't get in enough physical activity in- however I did start work again so that means hours of not being able to sit down and running all over the place.

Angela

woohoo lost 2 lbs

just 2 lbs but damn it feels good to say I lost it.

Well sadly this weigh in I weighed exactly the same as last week- but atleast my bad habbits didn't let me gain any more!

Oh well it's a new week and I am more determined than ever! I also had this little idea to make myself work out. I love Soda, recently I switched to all diet but I still drink a lot of it (less than I used to though!) so I told myself I have to drihnk nothing but water until I have worked out 3 days in a row as last week I lost it about mid week and did nothing (except work) .

Angela

Hey girlies!
Pam-Welcome to the thread! Love your boys names....my son is 4 his name is gavin and he is the coolest thing ever! I'm sure you feel the same about yours! You definately sound like youre ready for some more weight loss...motivation is the key. I spend a lot of time without any! But I keep on pushing just to maintain my weight and get myself moving.
How did everyone do this weekend? Should we do some challenges? Does anyone have any ideas? I have my own goals I write out each week in my food journal...But I think we need to start doing some things together. Everyone pitch in some ideas and maybe we can get something going for next week. I'm thinking a veggie challenge is much needed since some days its hard to get them in. They are so low in calories though, we should eat tons each day. TAlk to me People!~!!!
