Quick check in to say I did get my veggies in today! Rest day for me on the workout schedule. Today was definetly a Monday at work. Hopefully tomorrow will be better!

Workout completed this morning.

Veggies- 1 serving
Water- 16 oz.

Off to the shower and work now. Have a good day!

:snow:Home today with baby. Daycare closed. We are playing the battle of the nap right now. He is winning.

I ate 3 servings of kale last night so I think my total veggie in take was 5. None so far today.

NordicTrack, ab and arms tonight.

Hungry for lunch, no morning snack being home on a work day really thros me off.

Only 8 oz of water so far.

Hello Ladies!!!

Congrats Okie on the 2.5lb loss!!! and on the 3 mile run!!! I've been doing the couch to 5k program to get back into running. Haven't been much of a runner since I've been out of the army.

Went to the gym today and decided to swim!! I did 20 mins on the elliptical and then swam for 20 mins which was about .25 miles. I haven't swam laps in so long, that my chest and shoulders are so sore I can't lift them above my head. But, its a good sore!! My stomach still feels a little yucky so I haven't binged at all today. Actually had to force myself to eat dinner because I'm breastfeeding. I just wasn't hungry. I think my little one now has the same bug because he had a little diarrhea tonight. But it might be because he's teething.

Tomorrow I go back to the gym to do the bike and do the 2nd part of my week 5 run.

I just found out that there's a MOMS club where I live so I'm pretty excited about it. Haven't met many other moms since moving here and have been feeling kind of lonely at times. I plan on joining next month when things begin to slow down after my husband goes to Afghanistan.

Hope everyone is doing well!!!

okie- Congrats on the 2.5lb loss, I'll add it to the group ticker tomorrow. I'm to tired tonight.

I did get my 3 servings of veggies in today. I drank over 100 oz. of water, and as I posted this morning I did workout today. I will be able to check in with you all more completely tomorrow.

You would think a snow day :snow: off would be great but stuck at home with a teething baby is not so fun. I handled the stress pretty well as far as not overeating but I did not get my ab&arm workout done. He didn't go to bed until 11:00!!!!!!!

I did get off the bus early today and walked very fast and walked all 4 flights of stairs. And tonight, ab and arm and if the little bugger is up Daddy will have to take him.

Way to go Okie, you are on the cusp of Onederland!!!!!

I have been thinking of doing the Couch to 5K as my New Year's Resolution. I need to get a new pair of running shoes but I am thinking of doing trail running. I think I might not be so bored. We have a vitacourse here that is on a soft gravel path and has mile markers so I think I may take advantage of it.



Veggie challenge yesterday: another 3 servings of Kale

Amanda

I updated the ticker to include okie's weight loss, I got to include the 1/2 pound I couldn't count for Amanda earlier. Whoo hoo we are well on our way to a collective -30 for the month!

Okie- Wow 3 miles jogging that is impressive to me!

Lori- I've looked at the Couch to 5k, it looks like a great program. Congratulations on sticking with it! Sorry your tummy still feels yucky. Hopefully you will feel better soon.

Amanda- Great job getting off the bus early and walking!

I will have to get my workout in this afternoon/evening. I was to sleepy/groggy to drag myself downstairs and workout.

Have a great "hump" day everyone!

How is everyone doing today? It's very quiet here! It's been a good day for me. I came home early and workout, and now I'm enjoying some alone time before the kids get home from school.

I know, where are all the other gals? I so need to check in every so often. Typing keeps me from using my fingers to eat.

O.K. the baby just fed the dog bits of paper he tore out of the phone book.

I am expecting Aunt Flo so I am surprised I am not ravenous. But they do say keeping your diet and insulin in check controls signs of PMS..

My child loves paper, now he is eating it.
I did the stiar 2x today and on to the NordicTrack tonight. I purposely did not let ds take an afternoon nap so he will go to bed at a decent time. He is a night owl and a morning glory. Poor mom and dad.

We had our flu shots today. My arm is sore but I think working it on the Nordic Track should help break the shot up.

I got 2 compliments at work today. I am psyched. Fuels my diet ego.

Roll call, all lurkers front and center

Amanda

Hi Ladies!!
I went to the gym this morning and did my run, wasn't sure I was going to be able to get through it. But once I finished, I felt great. DId the elliptical for 25mins too. Tomorrow I'll do the bike and try to swim some more laps. DH has been in California all week so its been pretty quiet here.

Amanda- my baby's favorite pasttime is trying to eat the dog food. At least its dry. I remember when my daughter was a baby and she would eat the canned stuff!! YUCK!!

Does anyone watch Lost?

Did you all see the new holiday smilies?

Lori- on getting your run in. My DH watches Lost but I don't, in fact he is watching it right now!

Amanda- Congrats on the compliments at work!

Only 7 more days of school until vacation!

Hi ladies!!!! Well, I am soooooo sorry that I have not been in touch but finals week is upon my household (both dh and I are in school), plus piano recital for ds and his bday party planning!!!! Enough to make anyone

So I went to the gyn yesterday to deal with all my girlie issues and found out I lost 1 pound. I know it isn't much but considering I haven't had time to get any exercise in since I joined this group, I was pretty darn happy. I swear that I am going to start my exercising on Monday....all the events in my life will have settled down and I can actually breath! I am going to do my treadmill, weights and tae bo tapes. DS likes to do those with me. lol

In January, the family is starting the DASH diet.I don't think that it will be much of a change from how we eat now, just a little more structure. When we have money, we eat out instead of at home so I am hoping that this will curb some of that. If you are curious, here is some information about the DASH diet http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/public/heart/hbp/dash/
DH's parents both had bad heart disease and this diet has been proven to counteract that so we are giving it a go....under much duress from him, I might add!

Well, I will update my ticker and then get back to work...well, not taking care of my patients as they are all behaving and sleeping, but working on the final details of ds's party. We are so not ready for his party on Sat!!! We have 2 more days....

So, if I don't get a chance to post in the next couple of days, know htat I am trying to organize the most awesome CSI bday party for 30 kindergarteners plus finishing up my final for microbiology. sympathy anyone????

Talk to you soon!!!!
