Good morning ladies

What is everyone up to today?

Right now I am trying to get ready but DD is crying (not really crying) and won't let me finish fixing my hair.

I still have to give her a bath, do my make up, take baby out, and try to pick up before 9:30.

She has her 4 month check up at 9:55 then I have to go with my mom to the dentist at noon.

It's going to be a busy day..

I hope everyone has a great day

Hi Bridget! Hope Isis's 4 month check up goes well. 

I'm working till 4 (and I have already finished everything I need to have done for the day, but 1 thing that I can't do till after lunch). After that I have to run and pick up my prescription and return a book to the library (Robopocalypse very good read). After that I'm not sure if I'll do dinner or my walk.

I did my first walk yesterday (I didn't Tuesday because I was waiting for a friend to come over and join me and instead the friend went back to sleep haha) and I forgot how amazing I feel after my walk, tired, but I also have energy. Since I walked around the mall I also used 2 different sets of stairs (one 2 flights other with 3) in my walk. 

DH is talking about trying P90x when he's back on third shift and wants me to join him. I think he should just join my walks, but I'm willing to give it a try.

Hi @nightmare_of_beauty, that's awesome! I'm glad you started walking. The first step is the hardest but you are already past that!

I seriously need to start working out, I want to work out here at home with a DVD since going to the gym is difficult with a baby but my downstairs neighbors would probably kill me. Lol.

I have been thinking about getting my nephew to come over after school (once DH gets home) to make me work out. I want him to be my personal trainer. Lol.

Good luck with the walking and dieting. Keep up the good work

If you do, take measurements! I'm going to take some Sunday night. Measure your arms, thighs, and waist. You will see inches come off there before you see pounds come off. 

I have a Turbo Jam cardio party that also shows cardio without jumps to the lower the noise you'll make, maybe you should try that. 

Or even just to start, pack Isis in the stroller and go for a walk. Like you said, starting is the hardest part. And like others said, always give yourself credit for the good things you do.

Gooooood Morning!

@nightmare_of_beauty Great jon at walking yesterday!

This morning I went to bootcamp at the local gym.  It kicked my ass!

Today I'm just working working working.  There's lots to do, and I need to buckle down and get some things done.

Then tonight I have a Tastefully Simple party, and I'm excited to get my business back up and going.

@brij2006 what is tastefully simple?

LuckyAngel07

Working from home today. Spent the first hour with the dog sprawled across my lap. 

Also, I'm bummed out. DH had the pork shoulder in the crock pot to make the pulled pork I loooooove, but he didn't put it in with BBQ sauce, and the smell is bugging me. Not making me sick or anything, I'm just not enjoying it. I better love that pork later once I slather it in BBQ sauce!

@nightmare_of_beauty Yay for getting started! It is so hard to start working out/dieting but once you get started you realize how good it feels!

@bridget0117 I tried doing those DVDs at home many times but I just could not stick to them...right now I have a few workouts saved on pinterest and I have been doing those during nap time

@brij2006 yay for getting started back up with your tastefully simple

I am just hanging out. DH is home today. Ava Nichol and I have a play date at noon. Today is my workout day but I think I am going to wait until the evening. I need to get a ham in the crock pot for dinner before we leave for the play date.

@nightmare_of_beauty It's easy to prepare food that takes 2 ingredients or less.  Here's a link to my website.  www.tastefullysimple.com/web/bmaupin

I'm working. its been hectic today and I need to stop for 5 minutes and like go to the bathroom and eat something! I have a serious love/hate relationship with days like today

It just turned 12:00 here! Just finished my lunch of Cheesy Bread from Papa Johns. H surprised me with a box just to myself last night. He knew its my favorite and that's all I craved last time I was pregnant. Such a sweetheart.

My mom stayed home with Lexi today while I work. I recently mentioned that I do not get paid anything while on maternity leave. So I've been trying to figure out how I will at least get my insurance paid while I'm away for 7 weeks because I don't want it all to be taken out my first check back. I'm hoping I can take 16 hours of leave each week and it should cover my insurance. Plus, I need to figure my leave schedule so I don't take too much time away from ML.

I'm also trying to find a full size mattress and box/rails for Lexi. She's going to be going into her big girl bed at the end of this month. So I'm trying to find the best deal .

@nightmare_of_beauty That's a great start to your workouts! My H did P90X. It's very intensive so make sure you have a bottle of water and a towel near you. But the results are freaking amazing. Their website has printouts to keep you on schedule.

@bridget0117 Hope Isis has a wonderful 4 month appointment.

@LuckyAngel07 My mom had this beef and potato soup in the crockpot yesterday and asked me to move it into a dish and put it in the oven to dry out the food a little. It smelled and looked good before putting it in, but as soon as I tried to take it out of the oven, it turned me off. And I like that dish too. Maybe in a couple of days.

@wiggyslilsis Have fun on the play date!

Work until 3 and then heading to my monthly check up at 3:30. I'm excited to hear the heartbeat again and to find out when my a/s will be scheduled for. Since I am already 17 weeks I am hoping they don't make me wait a full month before having the scan!

After that we will find a quick dinner and then DH has a basketball game to coach tonight. I am keeping the book for him. I am so glad tomorrow is Friday!

Play date cancelled I was looking forward to getting out of the house. Plus MIL cancelled our weekly dinner on us tomorrow. I need out of the house but we can't spend any money....ugh.
