staryb - glad vacation was good and you had a unicorn road tripper.
I slept really well. Dd was up once, but it was before I went to bed. Naturally, I feel super tired today.
It's supposed to rain all day, which means I likely won't get a run in. I feel like I may have given up on winning notch bet at this point.
Don't give up! Jillian Michaels and that evil 30DS can be done rain or shine!
Ugh. Thanks! I know, I should really try to do 30DS again. I stopped because dd no longer let me put her in her jumper to do it. And if she's not in the jumper she'll run around the house causing trouble if I don't interact with her. I can't seem to do it when she naps because our TV is right next to her room and she'll wake up from my jumping jacks. Once the weather is nicer we'll be able to shut her door - but right now with only a window AC unit, if we shut her door for naps it becomes 4003039 degrees in there rather quickly. Maybe she'd cooperate in her pnp. Alsothough, I hate Jillian.
jellykat2 and other discouraged notch betters, whether you win or not I think you've been doing great. Plus, Jellykat obviously I've been stalking you on my fitness pal so I know you've been killing it! From what I can see this notch bet has been super motivational. I'm still kind of bummed that I didn't participate but I'm pretty sure I gained 4% on vacation so I would have failed hard core haha. If we do it again I am all in!
Thanks! It sucks because I have been working out and eating pretty well. And I feel better, and my clothes fit better. I know I probably put a couple pounds of muscle on, and that if I stick with it the weight loss will show on my scale eventually. I'm just impatient, and I want the scale to be my friend NOW!!!! haha.

Yah, I hear ya. Last time I did it, I put DS in his high chair with some puffs, then toys, then I used him as a weight for a modified chest press. Damn mobile babies ruining our plans to get skinny! I haven't done one in awhile, but DS used to love doing Mommy & Me workouts that I found on YouTube. Maybe try that?
DD was a bear the entire morning. H had to leave early for work, and my MIL came late to pick up DD today. DD wasn't having any of it today.
I have a work event tonight and I want to go, but thinking about backing out so I can spend tonight with H and also avoid all of the yummy food and beer. :/
I also took some dulcolax before work, and I am really thinking it probably wasn't the best idea. I am sure I will be regretting this later.
Sorry dd was such a bear this morning. I assume you don't mean this type of adorable cuddly bear?
But more like this?
I hope when you get home tonight she's back to happy baby.
Work event sounds fun! But I hear you on avoiding it to avoid delicious beer and food. I have ZERO self control.
I hope that dulcolax doesn't create any problems for you at work today. The pooping of the pants thing, it's not a competition.

I keep forgetting about those! YES!!!! :::::runs to look up Mommy & Me workouts::::::::

I hope she is a happy baby as well. Although... IF I go to this work event, she will be in bed by the time I get home. Problem solved!
staryb - thanks for the encouragement! I think the Notchbet really did motivate us. I would do it again, even though I am not going to win this time around I think it will take a miracle to get these last few lbs off before the weekend. These ups and downs with the scale mess with your head!
Question to notches that have weaned. Did you gain weight right away? One of my fav things about bfing is the extra cupcakes. Just curious if you noticed a difference.
I actually finally started losing that last bit of weight after I weaned I think I am one of those weird people whose hormones made me hold onto all the fat for bfing.
We are having lunch brought in all week because we have meetings. We have a sandwich shop that brought food in today and they have what we call a "Thanksgiving day sandwich". It has pulled turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce and mayo. It is the most delicious thing ever. I am contemplating eating one. But, notchbet. I guess I am not going throw in the towel just yet.

Y'all I just did 30DS since I was a bum and didn't go run this morning. It sucked. It was level 2. Yes, I have had 30DS since April and just did level 2 for thy first time.

Level 2 is hard! good job!!
H PROMISED to do 30DS with me tonight. I have been asking him for so long to work out with me. I will be starting back at level one tonight and if I feel REALLY energetic maybe do 2 right after.

Granted I just weaned a few weeks ago but so far I haven't gained anything and I'm still eating terribly.

My mouth is watering reading that. I would not be able to turn that down.

Agghh. I'm almost done with my 4 zillion performance evaluations on my employees. I reward myself after each one by checking pb. So here I am. Here's to another person rating themselves as perfect when they are really just average!

I have never done level 2. Last time I did level 1 (probably 5 months ago) it kicked my ass.

The best part is during the first circuit, I was thinking "this isn't so bad." Then I could hardly breathe by the second circuit. I do like most of the moves better in level 2.

It is nice to change it up in level 2. The strength circuit kills my arms! I actually like the push ups, where you stand up and drop to the ground and then back up. I was proud of myself when I did it and actually kept up with the video.

That sounds delicious!
I stayed away, and someone ate the last one. Saved me
kellrr hair pic??? Even from the back if you have stranger danger?
I had to wash it. Then wait for it it dry:
I tried to find a before, and 1. There were 4 pictures of me from the last 3 months and 2. My hair was in a ponytail in all of them. Reason enough to get a haircut. It was straight yesterday, but, surprise, I put it in a ponytail last night and kinked it up. ETA: I am not cut out for the 21st century. Selfies are hard.

I'm finally back and settled in from the long weekend. It's hard to stay caught up when you're out and about. But I thought I'd AW a picture from the wedding and one of DS. He's 11 months old now!
