Midwife on the POP weekend... can you believe my weekend was POP too, just 2 glasses of wine, and that's pretty good for me

Yesterday was POP too... I biked for 20 mins, just a quickie ride...jogged/walked for 50 mins, it was really hot we couldn't take the heat... then I did 40 mins of Jillian Micheals 30 day shread....Good workout I worked up a great sweat...

DePalma - I always smile at your veggie/meat/sauce meals. It's how my DH eats when I'm gone. Make a huge amount of something, eat til it's gone. Repeat.

OT, but my DH would do just as yours, Pat, except the "make a huge amount of something" part.

Be strong,
Kim
