Hello!

NikRenee22109

So you girls are SO lucky that you can go on the computer during work. I love my job, but from 9 to 6 I   am computer-less. Another thing, all you girls who are parents, I give you tens times more credit than I ever did before. HOW THE HELL DID YOU DO IT?!? I work 9 hours a day with kids and by the time I get home I am exhausted and don't even want to cook dinner. I can't imagine having a child to have to take care of after working...Also Kasi, I can't believe you already lost 8 pouns. I am super jealous, with the craziness going on with my family I have GAINED all the weight I lost back and then some.What is new with you all? I have looked at posts, but it doesnt seem like too many people are posting.

Hi Nik!!  It's been slow around these parts lately.  ooh, being a working mom is tough but it has to be done.  My kid is old enough to entertain herself and do things on her own so I have it a little easier than someone with a baby.  When they're babies you love them so much that the work and upkeep barely phases you .  Well, in my case that's how it was.About the weight...I may have gained it back after I ate a burrito.  I feel like it all came back.  :(Are you at a daycare center?  Did you move yet?

NikRenee22109

Yeah we finally moved. We live right by the Promenade, and the center I work for is in Murrieta. It is called Stepping Stones. They are great there, and I am so happy, but boy do I get worn out. I could see it being easier when they are older, but just thinking about having a baby and working makes me feel tired.What were you doing to lose the weight? Like what workouts, or where you just watching what you ate? I was so doing so good, but it seems like one bad day and I gain it back. =/

Having a baby is very tiring.  Egh, I don't even want to think about it.  I was super young when I had mine so it was easier on me.  Now that I'm much older I don't know how I will handle it.I just cut back on calories.  The first 5 lbs I los while working iut.  i stopped and mainained it but i got off the pill so I think that helped me lose the other 3.  Not sure what exactly did it.

Nik! glad to see you here girlie! Kasi has a very good point it is easier when your kids are a lil older and can do stuff for themselves :0)

NikRenee22109

I have cut my calories again, I guess I really need to start working out again. I loved when I was, but I got too lazy to keep it up. How many calories are you eating? I try to stay under 1200.

Kasi80

Well under 1200.  I know...not the healthiest.  I don't know exactly how much.  Working out is hard to do when you work as well.  I did it when I was single but when I met Andrew working out went out the door. 

NikRenee22109

Yeah, between work and trying to spend time with Anthony I have no time I feel like. I always say I will go in the morning, but I am not a morning person and am way to lazy. I always set my alarm though, so there is some effort. hahaWell whatever you are doing Kasi keep it up! Pretty soon you are going to be in the double digits of weight loss.

Kasi80

Thanks Nik.  You keep it up too.  Cut portion sizes, research what foods you can eat if you must eat out, etc.  Good luck!  :P  I struggle with weight constantly, I know how hard it is.

Hi Nik!! I miss you around here but it sounds like you are doing great. Do you love your new place? Hows your puppy? I bet she misses you during the day just like I do

Hi! I'm glad you like your new job I don't know how moms do it either. I am so not ready for kids.

NikRenee22109

Aww Amber I miss you too. And the poor puppy is crated ALL day. We are trying to get her more and more used to her being out when we aren't home, but she isn't doing that great. The place is alright, it isn't amazing, but it is better than being on base. We just hope we can find a house before our lease is up in 6 months... How are you doing? How is Oscar, still crazy?
