LOSIN' THE BABY FAT - Finally Friday!!!

[BrattyChelle]

Good Morning Mommies!!!!!

Wish I could do personals..it's taken all I have time-wise to even skim the threads this week. We're hoping hubby's schedule calms down SOON as we're both at our wits end, but hanging in there. It's kinda' sad...the big "ta-da" in my life I look forward to is my friend and her hubby and daughter commin over to BBQ and swim next weekend for my birthday LOL...otherwise, every day is survival until he gets 3rd shift exclusively.

Weight wise....hovering between 278-280 due to the cheat the other night. Is ok, I'm eating clean again and drinking my water. Workout wise...can't remember the last time I did and miss it (never thought I'd say that!).

OK....so I dug out a pregnant pic of me...REALLLYYYY pregnant!



These are me being a picho and reposting the ones I posted last night for those of ya who didn't see 'em

"C'mon Mom!!! It's time to SWEAT!!"



"I CANNOT BELIEVE you squished my hair!!"



"This is my pouty look...Daddy falls for it every time."



"OK...what's with all the stinking hats?!?!?!"



Have a great day mommies...and a wonderful weekend!

[metroames]

Ditto on trying to do personals. It took all my down time on shift just to get through the thread! LOL!

Great pics Chelle.

Have a great Friday everyone....it's my Monday.

Morning Chelle, Ames, and Cyn!

Chelle: Those pics are so adorable! to you and I hope you get through this rough time quickly. Sometimes I joke with my DH that I feel like a single mother most of the time since he goes to work after I leave and comes home once I am asleep. The only time we have together is every other Wednesday and every other weekend. I understand how tough it can be and if you need anything please let me know! Too bad we don't live close to eachother or we could get together on those really tough days.

Ames: Happy Monday!

Cyn: Glad to hear the Crohn's is under control. My very best friend has Crohn's and she has had a very hard time with it. She went into remission about a year ago and she just recently got pregnant and said she never felt better. She really has to watch her stress level or else it gets aggravated so missy, take it easy and remember to take great care of yourself. Does your diet have to change at all?

Have a happy Friday everyone. I have an awful telephone conference coming up. We had one of our programmers walk out last week after demanding a retroactive raise to January 1 and not getting it. Duh! Well, on his way out he sent an email to every employee in the company basically trashing me. He said what drove him over the edge was that I, (gasp, a woman!) was allowed to reprimand him. Well, mister, I AM your boss! So, anyway, I have to conference with everyone and see if they have any questions and basically refute all the crap he spewed in that email. What a jerk! I'm not worried about it too much as I have been here for 8 years and love everyone that works here but it just sucks that I even have to deal with this. Wish me luck!

[cynicalcyn]

Summer- Good luck on the conference call! You know I can just see your avatar as a cover of a calendar or something! I REALLY LOVE IT!!

I have to "watch" what I eat in the sense of hardly any cheese, or fiberous foods, like beans..

Cynthia

[kiwiflower]

Good morning everyone! And thanks again for the nice yesterday! I'll work on posting some pics today to introduce you to my family!

Aw, thanks! I keep getting so many compliments on that picture. Maybe I should send it in for some contest or something? It's funny cuz it is a running joke with DH about what awful pics I usually take. Which reminds me....

BOODS: What kind of camera do you use? Your pics are always so great!

Looking forward to seeing your pics!

[Dar20]

Morning, everyone.

Cyn, good to see you! A strawberry festival sounds fun! The Florida one is held at the end of February, and I really wanted to go this year. But, it just didn't work out.

Michelle, Elana is just so cute.

BBL...

[blueyedgrl]

Good Morning All~

Wanted to pop in quickly & say "hi", since I don't have much time this morning - we're heading out of town for the weekend (again.) DH is getting off work early today, so we're going to try to leave by this afternoon, so I have to get everything packed up for us & both kids. We're going to drive up to my mom's house - it's normally a three hour trip, so it's not too bad.

Great pictures everyone posted yesterday! I don't think I have any preggo pictures of myself, I was too self conscious, I think the last descent photo I have of myself was taken before we left Germany last year.

Have to run get the laundry finished & start packing. I'll try to check back in again before we leave, but if I don't get a chance, I hope you all have a WONDERFUL WEEKEND!

[Friendship]

2 days before I went into labor...


6 Weeks postpardem (186lbs....GRRRRRRR)


Andrew and our neice Sarah this past weekend

[Friendship]

Hunter and my brother at there join bday party!


Hunter and Great- Grandpa (Liz- This is your harbor master's 2nd oldest brother)


Mmmm, Spinach pasta


All Done!


Playing around




What a long day (excuse my bra strap!)

[Friendship]

Well, weight is staying were at the same place this week. I really think it is because TOM should be here, hopefully it will come and take some stuff away with it.

I'll be back later to do personals, have a bunch of stuff to do here at work (budgeting stuff that people are waiting on), but I thought I would post my pictures first!

B- Bacon, String Cheese
L- Salad with sliced steak
D- ?

[Dar20]

Melissa, great pics! I'd post pictures every day, but I'd hate to bore everyone. LOL. Does Hunter get his dimples from you?

You're little neice is so cute. How old is she now? Is it my imagination, or does she have stork bites, too?

And I have to let out a fangirl SQUEEEEE!!!!!!! I'm so excited about tomorrow!

[Friendship]

Dar- Yes, Hunter and I have matching dimples! Baby Sarah is 4 weeks old this week, she doesn't have stork bites, it's just baby rash. Funny thing is that when Hunter got it around 6 weeks the entire family was making a big deal out of it, etc...now it looks like Sarah is going to have the same thing!

[Mrs Sarah]

Good morning! TGIF!

We've got a busy weekend planned, I just know it's going to FLY by. Tonight we're having Mason's cousin over for dinner and movie, tomorrow is a BBQ at our house with my cousins and Sunday we're going car shopping for a MINIVAN. Can you believe it? Who would have thought I would EVER drive a minivan.

Weight is good, it's slowly creeping down (and I do mean SLOWLY), but TOM showed up today so hopefully the loss will pick up here now.

Chelle: Again, those pictures as priceless. What a little model baby you have!

Ames: Morning!

Cyn: It's great to see you! I love your av, you are so cute! That sweater looks great on you!

Summer: Ugh, I'm sorry you have to deal with that! Are you going to FIRE that jerk?!

piggy: Morning!

Dar: Hi there!! I am so jealous, I LOVE Rascal Flatts!!

Emily: Have fun this weekend!

Melissa: Those pictures are so cute! You are really pretty. Hunter is just a doll!

[babyblue26062]

Hi mommies!

Chelle- What cute pics. I think that Elana's blue eyes are here to stay- She is adorable.

Dar- Have a great time at the concert- sounds like fun.

Hi Ames, Cheryl and Summer.

Emily- Have a good trip.

Cyn- I don't think you posted pics of Lexi walking. How exciting that she is already a year old- the time does fly. I am so glad that your case is mild- that's wonderful news. WOW you are having a lot of work done to your house- post pics soon! Have a great time at the strawberry festival.

Melissa- Sorry no loss this week. Great pics!

Jessica has a cold and has not been sleeping well the last couple of days - so I am very tired. It is raining her today but the weekend should be decent. Shawn's bday is the 18th and father's day is the 19th and I am trying to come up with ideas for gifts- Men are so hard to buy for!!!!

BBL-
Kristen

[babyblue26062]

Sarah- How far along are you on the BFL challenge? I am so interested to see how many inches you are losing. Have a great weekend- it will fly by! Good luck shopping for a minvan- I hate car shopping

[Jefinner]

I love all these pictures!!!

CHELLE - Sorry things have been so hectic... Hope everything calms down soon.

CYNTHIA - I'm so glad to see you! Glad the Chrons is getting a little better.

MELISSA - Look at you, ya pic ho!!! I love it! You look great. You're so pretty with the dimples and all! Hunter looks like you!

KRISTEN - Sorry about the sleep issues... I soooo hear ya. Hope Jessica starts feeling better.

SARAH - I would love a minivan if we could afford it.

I found this site where they sell shirts and other products basically promoting breastfeeding... LOL! I saw a mousepad that I really need... It says NAK and underneath, "Nursing At Keyboard"... LMAO! I swear that's what I do most of the time when I'm posting. (You wanted that visual, huh?) Another baby shirt was too cute... Says, "Nice legs, but I'm a boob man, myself."

As for weight, I'm at 227 now... Guess I need to adjust my siggy.

[Jefinner]

DANGIT DAR... I knew I was forgetting someone (I'm STILL suffering from PreggoBrain, I think.) Have fun at Rascal Flatts!!! Let us know how the concert is!

Good morning, mommies...!! The Vegi Nazi is back!! Sorry I was MIA. I posted in the thread last night that my internet was down for 2 days! I thought I was gonna go crazy! Weight is staying the same...but I'm not complaining due to not working out since I have been sick all week and now my sciatic nerve is acting up. I'm going tonight come hell or high water!

Oh, and to introduce myself, I am Vanessa. DH is Jared. I have 3 kids 3 and under!!LOL Alexis (3 1/2), Jared "Cameron" (almost 2), and Jonathan (5 months)!

Chelle-Gorgeous pics of Elana! Sorry you are having such a stressful time!*hugs* I hope everything evens out soon!!

Ames-Happy Monday!!

Cyn-*hugs* We've missed you, like always!! BFL isn't going great, only cause I haven't exercised this week. I finally got back on eating right yesterday after my Memorial Day strays!! Oh well, atleast I'm back on track!

Summer-Oh, that sucks, I hope the phone conference goes okay!

Melissa-YAY...I'm seein veggies...!!LOL Great pictures!! Oh, no, we have another pic ho!!

Sarah-I have a mini van, it's not so bad!!!LOL I hope you see a woosh at the end of TOM. I wish mine would come....maybe I'd finally see some weightloss!!

Emily-Have a good weekend away. I am really missing my family. I am going to go up there next weekend (it is only 1 1/2 hours away)!!

Hope I got everyone. Great pics yesterday!!

[Mrs Sarah]

Kristen: I'm 10 weeks into it, although I didn't do great last week with exercise or eating. I did "okay" eating wise, but not great. I've been really good this week though, so I'm hoping to see the scale dropping... I'll for sure do ending measurements, I'm really curious!

Jenn: ROFL at those shirts!

[GetNSlim]

Ahhh, crap, I forgot a couple people!!

Dar-I love Alison in your Avatar!!! I thought you weren't going to the Rascal Flatts thing!!! Did you watch AI??

Kristen-Are you gonna do BFL?? If you do let me know and I'll restart my challenge with you. I am going to restart and do the eating plan with it again. I was seeing losses again when I was eating that way!

Jen-LOL...too cute about Nak and the baby shirt!! I do that too...sometimes it takes FOREVER to do personals with one hand!!

[babyblue26062]

Jefinner- How funny! Great job on the loss!

Hi Vanessa. Sorry the computer was down- bummer

I am thinking about doing the exercise portion of it. I will not do the eating part. I need to look into it a little more-but I am considering it.
