Good luck and can't wait to see what's in store for you! There are LOTS of great lady's here who can offer advice as well as I'm sure you know...
Congrats!

Thanks...I am sure going to try! Hayden is our first we tried for him for 3 years and when I started concentrating on training for a competition...low and behold little mister comes along ;o)

I am sure I will needs lots of guidance...its true if you don't use it you loose it. I feel like I am starting over brand new. So much has changed!!!!

So I am sure with all of us together somebody had tried nearly every protein out there. I am looking for a really good tasting protein for cooking and one just for shakes...any ideas ladies??

I know Optimum Nutrition makes a plain one that may be good for cooking...haven't tried it so I'm not sure...but I loved Gaspari's Myofusion...I got to try some in chocolate and it reminded me of a yoo hoo!...I wanna try strawberry next...

Hey girl I see you are still rocking out that hard as a rock bod! You prepping for anything soon? I love to follow along with your threads!?

So today I have done really well with my eating and even though I am THOUROUGHLY sore I am going to do my workout today. I hope that I get a little more used to working out again cause my LEGS ARE STILL on fire!

I don't remember them being this sore the first time I started working out again. I love the burn but I can barely bend my legs to walk like a normal person and I did that workout THURSDAY! I think I will have to warm them up on the treadmill or something first cause I am doing full body workouts so LEGS every other day...whew...thats gonna burn!

The one that we have is still a little to high for hayden so I have to put a pillow under his feet which slides around...I will be happy when he can touch the ground cause he will LOVE IT! He loves to bounce!

Lets keep eachother going! How old is your daughter?

**palomino** · 03-04-2009, 09:26 AM

She just turned 8 months on the first- I really have no excuse why Im still looking like crap LOL. But at least Im starting somewhere!!
This will be fun!!!
