Damage Control In June..It's Monday!!!!

Good Morning Girls. :)

Today's work out plan is Jackie's One on One Training: Lower Body (yes another new one!) and Jillian's Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism for cardio.

My interview is at 11am this morning. Wish me luck! *fingers and toes crossed!*

Good news: The weather turned nice y'day afternoon so we got to go outside for sun/pool time.

Bad new: My car broke down last night. :mad: I am so glad we have an extra car so that Joey can still get to school and I can get to the interview. We were supposed to go get food and go to the park with Joey for dinner. Well, Joey started complaining of a bellyache so we nixxed the park idea. DH was going to pick up the food and bring it back to be eaten outside in our yard. 10 mins after he left the phone rang that he was broken down a couple miles from the house! Now my car is in a parking lot waiting to be towed. FUN! :rolleyes:

Lori: I hear ya on the whining girl. Last summer's indulging (but in my case there was a lot of FOOD indulgences too) is what caused the weight gain I've been struggling with ever since! :eek: I have to say though, it's going down painfully slowly but it IS going down. At my highest since last summer I was 5 pounds heavier then I am right now so I guess I can't complain. I am only 2-3 pounds from my goal now and do not throw up when I look in the mirror these days. ;) That being said, I need to be careful this summer. I intend to continue to log my food in spark people though and I am sure that will help. I wasn't logging anything last summer.

Jacque: I agree with moderation though I have to watch how often I do it! :eek: The bowflex select techs that I bought go up to 52.5 pounds a piece. They also sell a set that goes up to 90 pounds! There are many many different sets of adjustable DB's out there that are not as pricey as the select techs but are also not as well made. Not so to say that another brand would not have been fine but BF is a well known name with a good rep and after getting 2 personal recs for them from fellow Catheites, I decided to splurge a bit and get the best. :) Yeah, I agree...if possible you should get up on weekend mornings and dive right into your work out so that it's DONE and then you'll have the rest of the day for housework. I don't do it that way as I usually prefer to wait for DH to get up before starting so that DS isn't "alone" while I work out if I can help it.

Jen: So what was the calorie burn for mowing your lawn and how long did it take?? So seriously, is there a Melting Pot up in CT??? :D

BBL!
 
Good Morning girlies!!

Wendy: Good Luck on your interview!! You're gonna kick butt, girl, I know it! It appears that there IS a Melting Pot in CT, I just don't know how far or where it is in relation to the casinos. That's easily found out, though, with a bit of research ;) Not sure what the calorie burn for mowing the lawn was exactly, but I think it took me and hour and a half. I also went for a walk with the kids afterward. And for a day with no organized workout, my calorie burn at the end of the day was 2397. Not too bad. I'll take it. I logged about 1800 cals in, so still a good deficit. Gawd, sorry to hear about the car breaking down! Car repairs s*ck!! But TG you and Joey weren't with him when it happened. What a PIA that would have been :rolleyes:

Hello to everyone who follows!

Today I started the Push phase of CLX, and I think I'm gonna like it. I was wiped afterward!

K, work is calling, but will bbl~

Hi Jen and all who follow.

Just checkin' in quickly with my work out. I have to grab a shower and head out to my interview soon so I'll catch up with personals this afternoon!

I did the One on One Training lower body work out donning a 10 pound weighted vest. I never picked up a set of weights and got a great work out! There are a few short spurts of cardio in that work out but nothing I would consider enough to COUNT as cardio for the day. I took off the vest for the cardio. I followed it up with BFBM circuits 4-7 which were the remaining ones I didn't do the other day. GREAT WORK OUT over all. Very happy with my purchases so far! :D

Off I go. Don't wanna be late!!!!:eek:
 
Morning Ladies!!

We had a GORGEOUS weekend .. full of sun and fun!!! We didnt overindulge SAT .. but we did partake in a lot of drinks .. stayed away from the rum .. kept w/my coors lights .. SUN SIL, DB, and DN came over and we went fishing and then we laid by the pool again while DH and DB pressure washed our cars and cooked :eek: yeah .. we had it made!! ;) LOL

Wendy: Good luck w/the interview .. YOU GO ROCK IT GIRL!!!! I am keeping my fingers and toes crossed too!!!

Jen .. are you liking CLX??? That one is still on my "may have to purchase" list .. LOL!!

Hello to Lori, Di and Jacque ..

I am working myself into a frenzy about our Vegas trip .. I dont fly well .. :( and I am a worryer:(:( ... and get ticked off at myself for worrying so much .. :mad:... and the first thing I wake up to is the news about Air France MIA probably crashed .. :(:(:( .. not helping the nerves!!! I worry about the flight (or crashing) .. I worry about my house .. mostly my big babies ... Buster is almost 8 .. and it is hot here ... my aunt will feed them and check on them but still cant help but worry ... aahhhhhhh .. plus I have a MILLION things to do .. DH is fishing for 2 days so I have to pack and remember everything and get the dogs stuff fixed ... aahhhhh .. better get to work on my check off list!!! :confused:

Today's plan is circuit class tonight .. errands at lunch!!! OK .. I will BBL to check on everyone! Havea great one!
 
Hey Peeps! :)

Laura: (((HUGS))) They haven't confirmed the crash of that jet yet but I guess there really isn't much else that could have happened, huh? :( I know you are nervous but try to relax. My BF is leaving Hawaii tonight to come home so you are not alone! The last few times she's flown it's been on the heels of an airplane going down but she's been fine and I'm sure this time will be no exception. You'll be fine too! :) I am not a fan of flying so I feel for you but try to relax. I was nerved out about our Vegas trip but I took some dramamine, had a glass of wine and was good to go! ;):D

Jen: Investigation is a good thing. Do you want to do it or should I? :D Having a cal deficit is what you are after so that's great regardless of how many cals mowing the lawn chewed up! :) I never got out to buy that pedometer y'day but I am going to pick one up this week! Yes, car repairs do s*ck and I hope this is not a costly one!!!! Push is great! I loved that phase! Good stuff! Enjoy it!

Well, I think the interview went well. She hardly interviewed me as SHE did most of the talking! :D Spent lots of time talking about the company and what they do and what the job would entail. Also talked about issues with childcare. She has a son who is in kindergarten and he does the wrap around, summer camp thing so she gets it. I really liked her and that's important as she would be my immediate supervisor if I were to be hired. The company is very laid back-she was wearing jeans-which means that I don't have to shop for a whole new wardrobe! The starting salary is indicitive of an entry level office position (receptionist basically) and that is fine with me. She said raises are based on merit and they look from within when there is an opening so there is the possiblity of advancement down the line. She thinks she'll have a decision made within a week or two so I should hear something by the middle of June. *fingers crossed* :cool:

The office is close to home. Takes about 20 mins to get there with alternate routes available in case of a bad traffic situation. The 5:30 aftercare deadline shouldn't be a problem. It will only be neccessary when DH won't be around anyway so it's not something I'd have to worry about on a day to day basis. So all in all I think it's a good fit. Now we have to see what SHE thinks!

Okay, enough babbling for now....BBL to see what everyone else is up to!
 
Hey Wendy .. I have not thought about Dramamine .. hhhhmmmmmmm .. that may work ... makes me sleepy ... ???? .. just made my to do and check off list to make sure I dont forget something ... got butterflies again thinking about it .. :confused: ..

Hey the interview sounds promising ... I will keep my fingers and toes crossed for you .. as long as you keep sending "good/safe flight" vibes my way ;)

OK .. I have been working nonstop .. trying to get my desk caught up .. I am ready for 5 .. workout some of this nervous energy ... I will work tmrw then will be off to Vegas (biting fingernails and sweating) .. I am sure once my feet are firmly on the ground and I hear the sounds of the slot machines calling I will be just fine!!! :D
 
Hey Gals!

Late checkin for moi...surprise...surprise!;) I had to go back to work last night and I didn't get home until 3:30! I was soooo tired this morning. DH let me sleep until 10 but I wanted MORE!

I still got out for a run though. I did over an hour I guess and it was warm! It was also windy, which was nice. I then went for a walk with a friend, got supper, went for alittle jog with a friend who wanted to start running, came home and did Disc #10. My arms are FRIED! I went a little heavier tonight and I can't beleive that I am also done with the 1st set of dvds!:D

Wendy** when will you hear about the job? Its always nice to get raises or beable to move up. Jobs with a stand still are no fun at all! When this economy business picks up I am asking for a raise. After all the crappy callouts I have had...I deserve another dollar an hour!:)
I doubt that you looked so bad you wanted to throw up! Silly girl!:eek: Its good that you are close to your goal weight though. Scale is back down for me...it usually doesn't take much.

Jen** Sounds like you are going to enjoy your new workouts! I am really enjoying STS and am looking forward to the next set of workouts!

Laura** I hear ya on the flying. I was just watching the news...still no sign of the a/c.:( How awful! The night before we went to FL I was lying in bed thinking..."i cant get on that plane" I was thinking of every worse case scenerio you could imagine. But I made it safe and sound, and Im sure you will to!!!

Howdie to Diana and Jaqcue!

Thats it for me folks! I am going to call it a day!

Lori:)
 
You girls are SOOOO not going to believe this but we had ANOTHER car break down today! :eek: We are now down to ONE running vehicle out of THREE! :eek: I had to get coverage at work tmrw and am walking Joey to/from school (bringing the stroller ofcourse!) and DH will take the car to work. Tomorrow is going to be a bad day....:rolleyes:
