Hey!! What happened to Megan??

She was bragging on the kids and disapeared!

 

[Alex2kMommy]

DS4 woke from nap today, and came downstairs. I gave him a hug, then went upstairs for a bit to check email. When i came back downstairs DH and DS7 were outside, and DS4 was playing a videogame on the TV.

So... picture my little blond 4yo, clad in nothing but a pull-up. His back is to me as he watches the TV screen, which shows two cartoon boxers going at it. Then I realize DS's arms are punching back and forth, and suddenly he bursts into a fury of fast punches, and one of the cartoon guys goes down. I was torn between:

My baby is boxing??? I don't like boxing, and I sure don't want him learning it!
Dang, he's pretty good at it! And back to
My baby is not only boxing, he's GOOD at boxing!

It was kinda cute to see him punching away in nothing but a pull-up though...

I don't know! Is her light out???

 

[Alex2kMommy]

I just checked; she seems to have logged off. Maybe she's getting the kids to bed.

How cute!!

Alex, what ever you do..........do not.........I tell you.........do not click on the healthy/heavy thingy at the bottom of this page. I did for fun, and it wouldn't let me out!! I had to shut down the computer to come back here. It was like I had accidently gotten into p**n page. I just spelled that like that on purpose too. You never know what will pop up!@!

That's interesting, because for the year or two before DH was diagnosed with his heart problems, he was getting frequent, terrible headaches. Nobody said anything about it being a symptom of high BP (maybe DH never brought it up, I don't know) but he did notice that the headaches went away when he started on all the heart meds. Otherwise the only 'cure' for one of those was to slam some Coca Cola! I'm not sure why that would help; the caffeine or sugar maybe? rotfl:

Caffeine. It totally helps headaches.. I am very addicted to caffeine, and with out it, I get headaches.

Sorry.. I was filling the hubby in on the kids swim classes, and had to run to the store.

So the Wii fit sounds cool.

So what do you have to do to loose 3 pounds in 2 weeks?

 

[staley7580]

I just checked; she seems to have logged off. Maybe she's getting the kids to bed.

Hardly.. They are watching Finding Nemo on the Disney Channel.

 

[Alex2kMommy]

Oh, how annoying! I get into something like that once in a blue moon; I was stuck last week and DH had to come over to use the Task Manager to get me out.

Oh dont you just LOVE that? I used to play a game that would do that to me every once in a while.

Hey the ad disappeared! Do you think it knows I'm ticked at it??

 

[tinkermell]

It's back!!

I have no idea!

When i was doing aerobics regularly (before kids) I remember they said if you went twice a week (what I was doing) you would maintain your weight, if you went 3/more times you'd lose. Needless to say I never lost any, but I was pretty heart-healthy and more toned.

The aerobics was an hour-long class, plus really WORKING for a good 15-20 minutes of it. I'd probably kill myself if I tried to do something like that now.

I'm not clear on what the stars given after an activity mean, nor the points (although the accrued points can gain you new exercise games.)

I was wondering if it told you everyday, what you had to accomplish that session to loose the weight.

 

[tinkermell]

I'm going to head to the shower.

Let me know the results of Gina's conversation.



Nite!

 

[Alex2kMommy]

Nope, not that I know of. I'll be curious if tomorrow (Day 2) it will tell me if my weight has changed. Or maybe it only does that when the timeframe for your goal is up?

So far it's all brand new, and fun. I like that there's a ton of stuff to do, a real variety, so hopefully it will keep my interest up if I keep changing what I'm doing.

I figured a 2-week timeframe is short enough to easily deal with (ie. I can commit to that!)

And then I can see how I do and adjust. I like the idea of short goals, because right now a big long term goal just seems insurmountable, you know? I'd love to eventually get back down to the 120s, but I don't know how realistic that is at my age. So I'll just take baby steps and see how it goes. Any progress is still progress!

Night Melody.

 

[Alex2kMommy]

Good night, Tinkermell!

 

[staley7580]
