All of a sudden I am so happy to be really old and worried about aching knees and hips and NOT menstrual cups. There is a light at the end of that tunnel, ladies.

ROFL! I want to see that light! I'm done having kids and would love to be done with all of it!

Thursday done!

(TMI WARNING)

Jenna I'm a big fan of menstrual cups too! I bought a Diva cup before I got pregnant with Molly (so 6 years ago?) and it's all I used until about a year ago when my cycle got so wonky that I had to do some backing up with pads (I don't mind the Always Infinity pad - super thin but crazy absorbent). A couple weeks ago I actually bought my first box of tampons since starting to use the Diva cup! LOL. It was because my period started unexpectedly and extremely heavily the day before a race and I didn't want to be dealing with the cup in a port-a-potty with no way to thoroughly wash my hands afterwards (eeeeeeeew). I thought tampons would be easier to deal with, and I suppose they were, but I find them almost worthless now. Even with Super Plus I'm leaking within 90 minutes which is just such a drag

I've never seen cups in other colors. Now I'm totally intrigued. What brand are they? I do think I've been using my Diva for longer than recommended and I'm sure I should replace it. The savings over the years have made me SUCH a believer in this option, though!!

Tuesday Zumba and treadmill
Thursday - Elliptical and Group Kick fitness class (which kicked my booty!)

I know I haven't been keeping up. I have a sick kid at home and I haven't been in the mood. all I want to do is sleep with her! so today I got off my lazy butt and did two videos I think it works out to 45 mins of exercise.

I wonder why we attract so few scrap guys??? Hang in there, ladies, it DOES eventually end!
And I got my walk in for today! Wish it had been a little warmer, but at least we are snow free.

LOL...yeah, it's probably a good thing there aren't any guys in this thread;)
I'll enter my own TMI, hahah - I loved the side effect of breastfeeding that I barely had any period - for the entire 18 months or so each time, even though at the end they were barely nursing. To quote Ann a teeny bit, it was like menopause but without the aching knees;)

It's crazy isn't it?? She'll be 5 in April. It blows my mind that in the fall she'll start Kindergarten and I'll be home alone with NO children!!! Imagine how productive I have the potential to be? I'm gonna be stocking the SG boutique shelves weekly hehehe.

I've not done well this week. and lost track of where I am. I've done nothing since I last checked in, except for today (Friday) I walked Ben to respite.

I actually think that as long as you take good care of it & there are no signs of wear (like the silicone getting tacky or splitting somewhere) there is no reason to replace your cup. I know that the Diva pamphlet says you can replace it annually, but every other cup manufacturer claims a lifespan of 10-15 yrs. My keeper (which is the only rubber one out there I think) has lasted nearly 10 yrs. It's biodegradable, so it is starting to show some signs that it's time to get a new one, so I just got a MeLuna (it's purple!

/> ). There are a TON of brands now, & several offer colors. If you like the Diva I would say you could look into Lunette or MeLuna. I hear you on the porta-potty issue. The cups that have a higher capacity claim that you can get by with only emptying every 12 hrs. I have found that to be true, I usually only have to "change" every 10-12 hrs so I can generally avoid public restrooms/porta-potty woes. Although I do carry a little baggie of flushable wipes "just in case" so I can sanitize if there is no sink available.

/>

I also enjoyed nursing for that reason, Cheri! With each baby I nursed & I had no cycle at all until I weaned. It was so nice! Also confusing though when I was nursing & hadn't had a cycle yet but ended up preggo with my second. I was 9 wks along by the time I found out! LOL

Wednesday - nothing.
Thursday - 40 minutes walking in the countryside. Walking shoes now caked in mud.
Friday - nothing again I'm afraid.

Ann...your post cracked me up. I never thought of it that way, but I guess the days that all I have to worry about is a few aches here and there might just be a positive thing.

Did a double loop this morning and glad I did....weather turned really nasty with winds, and a mix of snow and rain. Light the fire and bring me my fuzzy slippers!

HaHa...you think you'll get stuff done when all the kids are in school! Good Luck with that! Mine are in school all day and I don't get anything accomplished. But I hope, for all our sakes, you do so we have new goodies to scrap with!

Saturday - Ran/walked 3 miles in my neighborhood. 48:29 (3.15 miles) Not bad

Building up my endurance and speed again. Did the first mile with my 11 year old and 7 year old sons as we trained together for their elementary school's One Mile Fun Run coming up in a couple of weeks. Totally different experience to run with others. It's usually a very personal experience for me so my 7 year old's non-stop chatter was kind of hilarious and hard to get used to. But I was proud of them for rocking our 1 minute run -1 minute walk pattern. Took us a little less than 15 minutes to complete the mile. They did great! (Then I continued the extra couple miles on my own and did walk a song - run a song intervals. Worked out great!)

Looking forward to rest day on Sunday! It's been a good workout week

Saturday done, in spite of a bit of snow on the ground. Looks like a bit of a warming trend beginning tomorrow, looking forward to longer and longer walks.

Chart is updated for Sunday! Valerie, I put today's exercise in the whole from Saturday for you.

Not sure I'll get a workout in on Monday. It all depends on when the Verizon guy comes to fix the cable, anytime until noon...and I have errands I have to do tomorrow. Maybe I'll get lucky and he'll come early??
