50 Shades of Sore Bits

I did day one of c25k. I found it quite easy but it is my third time round and have been doing some exercise. Am going to go again on Monday.

See FG your fitness bug is spreading. Well done you.

My plan is to be a size 10 again. Am a 12 now so not totally unrealistic. Though not sure it will happen.

He is alright once asleep just getting to sleep just getting to sleep some nights is a hassle. Tonight he fell asleep in the car around 7.30 but that has been the earliest for a while. Its been the school holidays that have sent him loopy. He was ok when at pre-school. I think he is also stressed about school.

Last night he woke in the night and fell asleep straight away in our bed. I usually move him (not that it happens often) but he was too cute so left him there.

DD sleeps like an angel at the moment but she isn't teething. She is however walking properly. She is so cute. Well worth all that SWI-ing.

I never did a dream feed. Ever. I used to wake them when they were super tiny as they were premature and needed feeding regularly but after we got past that I used to let them sleep. DD has had some nights of 14 hour stretches but they were a few months ago.

Anyway its the weekend. YAY.

Oh dear Lou! You have got a none sleeper then - Urgh. I am very lucky mine are both sleep addicts like me. How much is he awake for during that time Lou? My ds can be a pain and not get a move on when told to, but at least he stays in bed once he is there. Dd is also in bed, her routine is bed at around 8, feed at 11.30-12 ish, and then she either wakes at 6ish or sleeps til 9-10 ish. I am wondering if I have the courage not to wake her for the midnight feed yet?

Haven't had many rows with ds today, although have been to soft play place with friends so he disappeared and played for ages with very little input from me!

I only want to get rid of him between the hours of 8pm and 8am the rest is a joy.

Fair point.

But Fairy he is very sweet and you would like him. You could have a sibling for him too.

Thanks but no thanks Lou! One small boy is enough for me thanks. At the moment we are going through "Ds can you get dressed/take this upstairs/to the front door please/put your shoes on" "But Mum, I am too tired, and I don't want to, and I would like my breakfast first cos I am too hungry, and I am thinking up legions of excuses as I am standing here arguing with you" "Yes but dear ds, if you had done as you were asked first time then you would have finished and be back here now, not still standing here arguing with me"

In the breakfast scenario, he was too hungry to go and get dressed, but when finally persuaded, he didn't reappear for his breakfast for at least 40 minutes! (result!)

Dd is wonderful, she stays still and doesn't argue with me (yet). We do have to go back and get her heart scanned again as went to GP again yesterday and he can still hear the faint murmur.

Well done on the bfn . Fingers crossed it stays that way.

I have a 4 year old for sale. Actually I will give you money and you can have him. Umbongo he could be a playmate for your ds.

Dh trying to teach dd to stand up earlier! I'd rather not have an early walker thanks!

How's the diet doing Fairy - early days I know but Good luck. Any sign of rtd?

Good luck. Fingers crossed you aren't pregnant. You would have an April / May baby and that would be pants

It is both. Its running and star jumps and press ups and all things nice like that....

What is boot camp? It sounds like hard work and painful!

Food glorious food. Yum.

Did some boot camp yesterday and it was good fun.

Wow Fairy! That sounds like a serious exercise routine - lots of different things too, that should help stop you from getting bored and keep you motivated, sorry no weight loss yet, but inches are good too, remember muscle weighs more than flab and looking slimmer and feeling fitter is great. I mowed the lawn today and am knackered, so really am looking forward to being fitter. (but possible not the hard work needed!) I also need to stop eating so bloody much - I believe that may help

Doing Ok thanks FairyG. Surviving the school holidays, very glad it is not raining as much as it was before they broke up, ds is not easy when he can't get outside and it is hard to go out togged up in waterproofs with mini-bongo unless she needs a snooze under her raincover! We sat out this afternoons rain with the olympics and cbeebies games on the laptop

I know what you mean by heavy, but day 23 is a bit too early for your cycle isn't it, put it down to too much exercise. What have you been doing? I am looking forward to getting back to some exercise, not sure what or how or when. I am hoping that the relaxin is working its way out of my system cos I did a bit of running round chasing ds on his bike a few weeks ago and my groin got very sore and made it hard to walk for 2 days. Harumph.

for the Barlow family. Horrendous thing to have to deal with.

Really sad
