Ok, frustrated for two reasons....
First, the scale still hasn't moved! I've been working out and eating good and yet in 3 weeks I haven't lost an ounce. Talk about a wicked plateau. I know, you told me that I'm building muscle, I shouldn't rely on the scale as much as taking measurements, etc. But come on, not even 1/2 a pound in 3 weeks?
Second, my twins turned 2.5 yrs old this coming week and suddenly it appears that they have outgrown their naps. My routine has been that I exercise everyday while they nap. So, now I'm fighting with them for the whole nap time (and they aren't sleeping) instead of exercising! Guess I have to get up super early in the morning to exercise now? This totally disturbs me. You have no idea.
On a related note, I also used nap time to do my photography business work. Now I can't do that either. Also, disturbing. And no, so far they aren't sleeping any longer at night since they are skipping their 2 hour nap either. ARGH!!!
Oh, and while we're talking about frustrations, let me continue to rant. Actually I won't rant. I'll just say this. I tried on bathing suits at the store the other day. I left empty handed. Enough said.

Kristi you look great! I know it is frustrating not seeing results on the scale but you are doing good! At least you're doing cardio and eating healthy. That's great and so much better for your health in the long run. Keep at it, you're doing a great job!
I don't envy you on no naps! Maybe the boys would watch a movie and have quiet time while you workout in the afternoon? Just a idea.

Ah man, Kirsti...that IS totally frustrating. All of it.
Nothing seeing any change on the scale would be annoying! But hang in there...you are doing your body good by eating right and exercising!
I hated the loss of naps! But that will become the norm and you'll work around it.
I know all too well about bathing suits....although you look great!!
Sorry -- that is super frustrating! I am pretty much at a bumpy plateau too. but instead of staying the same I go up and down with in 3 lbs. I can't claim I have been eating so great though... but I know if I had been I'd be even more irritated.
The nap thing definitely stinks... I used to make my two oldest girls still have "quiet time" every day. I didn't make them sleep they could look at books of play quietly in their room. But it worked well, because they knew they had to stay put and it gave us all some time to wind down. It probably would be a lot tougher to pull off with twins though.
