marie

Thanks lady!

(oh, and I added in the pic of the kids into my siggie, to make me laugh when I'm on here. It's been a while since I had them follow me around the DIS. )

And one last thing....I started my WDW planning spreadsheet for the you-know-what. That definitely perked me up tonight!

I'm sorry things haven't been great recently Hopefully things will look up as the weather gets better. It's hard to convince yourself to go outside when it's crappy!

I can help with the Garmin. I bought the 205 recently (if you hurry, it's on sale for 192 plus a $50 rebate on amazon), and although it's only been a week, it's been a huge help. I love knowing all of the data (like pace and stuff) plus, you can download all the info to your computer and keep track of it all. It makes me work so much harder, but more importantly, smarter.

Have a better tomorrow, but if you don't, we're here to listen

Kim,

I go through times too where getting a workout in is like pulling teeth. Maybe you can try some other types of workouts and commit to running just once or twice a week for awhile. I'm currently doing the Power 90 workouts with my DH and I love them!

Sending you lots of prayers and for your surgery.

Hope you have a great week!

Me too. Not much goin on here. Same old stuff. Not doing great with the food the past couple of days. But the good news is...............

my BEAN has arrived! Maybe tomorrow night I'll be able to take it out of the box! DH and DD have their daddy/daughter dance tomorrow night (you know I'll be posting pics), so it'll be just me & DS bean-in' away.

[traceycooper]

Hi Kim
Have you tryed the bean yet?
Hope your having a great weekend

 

[Blueeyes101817]

Hey lady-
Where have you been?
I wanted to see pictures from the daddy/daughter dance--you did promise your daughter i could see some pictures--im waiting (not so patiently!)

Hope you are having a great weekend--with your bean !

 

[Foxfiregrrl]

Hi! It's been awhile since I've posted, but I went back and got all caught up.

I can't wait to hear about the Bean. I have seen it on TV and wondered if it would work well. Let us know!

Good luck on the WW also! I know you can do it! You have done really well all along and you will keep up the good work, I know it!

About the gyn treatment... I think that is what my mother had about a year ago... I took her to it, but she hasn't mentioned anything since. I will ask her about it and see what she says. It may not be the same thing though... Hers was due to really heavy TOM and I am thinking it was very similar to a DNC. Is that what yours is going to be? Sorry if that is too probing. I'll let you know what she said (she's out of town though so it will be at least a week).

I can't wait to see what you come up with to "trick" your kids w/ for the November trip I am not getting to go this year, so I will live vicariously through you guys

It was great to see that Janine's pregnancy came out ok!!

Have a GREAT week!!

 

[kmp1191]

Hey...McBean....check in!!!

 

[kimwim8]

Hey everyone! Sorry I was M.I.A. all weekend. But we finally got some sunny, warm weather and we went out & enjoyed it!!

First, I'll start with the daddy/daughter dance pics.

Here's Em at home before the dance:

And here's daddy putting on her corsage:

One of my favorites from before:

Em and her best friend:

This one turned out freaky, but it's pretty cool!

 

[kimwim8]

Ok, now...on to what's been going on.

I got the BEAN all set up and I LOVE IT!! I've been on it every day since then and it's really cool!! I'll proudly bear the name McBeaner!

Friday I went for an awesome walk outside at lunch by myself with my MP3 and walked 3 miles in about 50 minutes. That night, my mom took the kids overnight and DH and I went to see Harry Connick Jr. at the Borgata. Let me tell you...that man can entertain!! The show was only 1.5 hours, but it was great! In the am, we had the sprinker guys come at 8:30 and then DH and I went out for a walk/run together!! (now I understand why you love it so much, Ree Ree!!) He did really well, and we had a great time. We did just over 3 miles in 47 minutes. My poor man is paying for it with some sore legs and a sore back, but I really enjoyed it and I look forward to the days when we'll be able to leave the kids at home alone and go out for runs together. (probably another 2 years for that)

I'm putting it here, so that I HAVE to do it....I am going to run in the am. I know I'll feel awesome during the day, and I'll want to eat better if I do. So I will.

One last thing...my gmom is back in the hospital. Prayers are welcome, if you can spare them.

Welcome back, Amber! I'll pm you with the details of the gyn procedure I'm going for. Thanks for checking with your mom!

Take care, guys. Have a bean-er-riffic week!

 

[toystoryduo]

Those are great pictures, Kim! Thanks for sharing them.

I'm glad to hear that you got your run in and your time in with the bean.

Prayers on the way for your grandmom.

Hope you have a great week!

 

[kimwim8]

Hey guys. Had a pretty good day. Gmom is doing better. I went to see her on my lunch break and she's back to not eating or drinking, but the nurse said she's on the mend (sorry to be vague, but her issues are pretty gross). I was able to make her laugh a couple times, so hopefully that helped.

I DID run this morning before work! What a beautiful morning!! I was only out for 1/2 hour, but I walked 3, ran 10, walked 4, ran 11, walked 2. And felt GREAT! I don't like that I haven't run very often, but at least I'm not starting back at square one. Oh and I beaned it after my run.

My food choices were mostly good, but I was starving by the time I got home from DS's t-ball practice, so I had a few mini chocolate donuts before my dinner. Oh well, life goes on.

The plan now is to run again on Wed, and keep on beanin' every day.

Hope you're all doing well.

One last thing...Skyelar is up to 3 pounds 9 ounces and has started to suck on a bottle (big thing for preemies). So she's doing great and should be home in a few weeks!!

 

[traceycooper]

Hi Mrs McBeaner!!
Glad your Gmom is doing better
Love your pics, DD looks sooo cute (DH doesnt look bad either )
Great news for Skyelar
Can you post a pic of your bean? It proberbly wont hit the UK for at least another year - were always behind

 

[kmp1191]

See, I told you your DH was a hottie!! Tracy thinks so too!!
Great pictures!! Your daughter is adorable!! Looks just like you!! I hope they had a fun time!

Hope g-mom is doing better....she's in our prayers!
Same with Skylar....she's doing great!

Enjoy your walks....the scenery and the weather...hopefully it will get better!
I almost called you last night....then the kids started up...
Anyway, have a great day....talk to you soon!

Hey all! Just poppin in with some updates.

Yesterday I went for a walk with some people at work on a trail around the base. I used my Garmin for the first time (LOVE IT ) and it said we did 3.67 miles in 1 hour 3 minutes! We rocked it! Such a beautiful day.

Today I should have went running before work, but I stayed up too late last night, so I plan on getting up tomorrow morning. Food has been horrible today (pizza, KFC) but I'll bounce back tomorrow. I think I needed one of those comfort food days.

Gmom had an endoscopy today and is tentatively scheduled for a pacemaker on Friday. We'll see how it goes. Keep her in your prayers if you can spare them.

Tomorrow is my hottie's bday (quoting Marie ) He's the big 3-9! The kids and I will be wrapping his presents tonight since he's out. He's off tomorrow....is it wrong to give a honey-do list on his bday? Actually we might be going to the car dealership tomorrow night to check out the GMC Acadia. My lease is up in July and I really like the Acadia (have to get a GM car since I have the GM credit card & earn $$ for downpayments).

Tracey - I'll take a pic of the bean & post it over the weekend! I'm still lovin' it. It's a quick, intense workout.

Have a great night, all.
