Today's work out will be Burn Intervals. My knees have been behaving very well lately but I still may do the killer kettlebell swing version this time just cause I love it so much. 
Dinner at mom's last night couldn't get much farther from the clean/lean diet I've been trying to stick to lately....hot dog, mac-n-cheese & baked beans!!! I admit that it was super duper yummy but OMG, I don't even wanna know the nutrition stats on THAT meal! Good news though is that I did good on portion control front so no gross feeling! YAY!
I have to work this morning but then this afternoon, aside from my work out, I will be doing cleaning cleaning and more cleaning!!! I was supposed to clean yesterday but totally ran out of time. I really wish I didn't have to work today. I am going to be like a crazy lady getting prepared for DS' party tmrw. Thank goodness I invited everyone for 3pm instead of something silly like noon or 1!
Jacque: Heck, I should have paid you to write my resume for me or atleast look it over and help me clean it up! Who better then an HR mngr to give someone resume advice right!?!? I think I did a pretty good job. I fretted over it and the cover letter for a long time before I was satisfied. The last time I sent them out (for a personal training job which I never got!), I sent out 8 resumes. I only got one phone call back and the woman said she was very impressed with my resume so that made me feel good.
Diana: I find the same thing with the sleeplessness. The other night was a fluke because DH was working late but usually the problem comes and goes in waves. Last night I slept like a rock! Make sure with the increased cardio that you are eating enough. How are you doing staying away from the treats? I know you have a sweet tooth like me and I know it can be hard to win that battle at times. Keep tryin'. You can do it!
Lori: Welcome back! Sorry life has been so crazy since you got back from vacation. Hope it mellows out for you soon! Don't neglect those weights girl!!!!
Gotta go but I'll try to pop back in later!

Good Morning!
Wendy** Sounds like you have one of my crazy/busy days Imagine that everyday!? Dinner sounded yummy last night. Im not a lover of mac and cheese or hot dogs so I probably would have over down it on the beans! Its good if you can eat meals like that and keep the portion control sensible, sometimes when we eat bad we over eat as well....cause its just as well right?
How old will DS be? 4? I can't believe time is going by so fast! I hope he as a great party! His your hubby working now?
So I am just getting out of bed, not a whole lot of sleep but I will manage. I wake up to a screaming/needy child...just lovely! What a great way to start my morning. He is obsessed with being outside. Its to cold right now, plus I am not ready to face the outdoors! Should be another interesting day!!!!
BBL!

Good morning ladies !
Popping in before I get ready for work. Today is Bi's, Tri's and Shoulders after work. Should be a goodie if it is the usual 4Xeach exercise as the others have been this week. Can't wait to see how heavy I will go.
Wendy - you are welcome to PM me anytime if you want me to take a look at your resume. No need for pay girl ! Hope you get some good spring cleaning done for the party - then you'll be done for a while and can come visit me for my spring cleaning? Ha !
Lori - good to see you back. Hope I didn't "guilt" you into taking too much time by posting over here. I just worry about those that don't post all of a sudden. You have been busy lady so if you don't have time, no biggie ! My fav saying is "caca pasa" and it happens to all of us sometimes. Good to hear you have been getting runs in at least. STS is coming soon, right?
I can't believe Diana and I (I think Laura too) will be done in a few weeks. Time sure flew on that one. Time to start getting another rotation figured out here soon.
Okie dokie - off to get ready for work. Enjoy the day ladies !

Good Morning, Girlies!!
I have to be super quick, because the boss is in her office but I'll just report for now that I did Burn Curcuit 1 last night, as scheduled, then I got up early this morning and did an HIIT/SS (a la Alwyn) on the tread this morning. Felt pretty good about it.
Wendy: http://www.foxwoods.com/Haven't found one I like better. It's pretty amazing. Whatver we decide to do first, we have Option #2 to look forward to on another weekend! I hear you on the unclean eating front... I had some sort of sugar breakdown yesterday and scarfed half a bag of candy I had in my desk drawer. Ugh...the other half went in the trash.
Lori: Glad to see you back! I know what it's like trying to get back into the routine. It's awful. I won't even mention the amount of laundry I'm facing this weekend.
Jacque: Soare there any beach plans in your near future? San Diego and Santa Barbara sound awful good to me.
K, gotta get back to work, but will bbl~

Lori: Yes, DS is turning 4 next week. Where has the time gone is right!?!? I definitely tend to over-eat the bad foods which is a big part of the problem. If I could control myself I wld probably relax more about eating that stuff, ya know? Hope Rylan relaxed a bit for you so you weren't pulling your hair out with him all day!!!
Jacque: Your STS rotation went by very fast, you are right! I only have 3 weeks left of CLX unless I want to do the final phase which mixes up all of the work outs into one final month long phase. Thanks re the resume help. I will keep your offer in mind for sure!
Jen: Sorry the boss keeps cuttin' in to your posting time. It's a bummer, aina'? I have never been to either casino in CT so either would be fine with me! Would you mind sharing a hotel room with me? Any suggestions on where to stay? I am thinking the casino itself will be uber $$$. I know there are hotels close by because I researched it once when me and my BF were thinking of going up there so perhaps we should do that instead. Any thoughts?? All I know is if we do this I don't want to have to drive between the hotel and the casino cause one of my fave past times at casinos aside from gambling is the booze! That being said I think I recall atleast one of those off site hotels having a shuttle or something???
Well I've been cleaning all day long. No work out yet. Got my new BB order though so if I can get in a work out today it will be Get Lean Intervals instead of Burn Intervals! There is also another ab work out on the deluxe disc so I can do that too if I have time.
Time to rustle up some grub. I'll try to get back here later once it's quieted down around here...
ETA: Keep meaning to let you girls know...Debbie Meyer Green Bags ROCK! I love 'em and want to see if I can find the ones for bread now!!!!!
BBL!

Happy Friday Ladies!!!
I was up in time to do plyo legs this morning before heading to the school. I don't normally wear my HR monitor when I do weights, but I decided to wear it for plyo legs this morning. I burned a whopping 399 cals.
The rest of the day was spent at the zoo with 7th graders. It was pretty fun. I did eat a fresh grilled burger with lettuce, tomato, pickles. It was delicious. I try to stay away from burgers but didn't want a hotdog.
Jerod has a disc golf throw bowl tomorrow. The weather is supposed to kinda crappy-50's and rainy. I do want to watch him, but I hate the wet cold weather.
Cody is moving to Oregon to be near his girls. He leaves on Wednesday and I'm not looking forward to it at all. One of his buddies is going with him and staying for a week. He's already rented his apartment and paid for the Uhaul. Poor kid, just lost the clutch in his jeep and had to pay $1200 for a new clutch and other repairs. It couldn't have come at a worse time.
Wendy-is the house all ready for Joey's birthday party? You can come do some cleaning at my house.. It's in dire need of some attention. Hope you have a fun party and tell Joey Happy Birthday from you cyber pals!!
Lori-hope you able to keep Rylan happy inside. I don't miss those days at all. Maybe you will sleep better tonight.
Jacque-Not sure if I will get SBT done tomorrow or on Sunday. If I get up early tomorrow I can do it....but I usually sleep in on the weekends. I can't believe this rotation is almost over. I need to peruse my rotations folder and come up with something. I won't start another rotation until the 2nd week of june, after I get back from vacation.
Jen-I have problems posting at work sometimes too. Nice workout this morning. It sounds like you are getting back into the swing of things pretty quickly. I too would love CA roadtrip. I'm hoping our financial situation will look better towards the end of summer-we should have everything paid off by then.
I'm going to relax in front of the tube..

I just had this big, long post in the works, and I LOST it when I hit ctrl+ a random letter (which happended to be "w")! That's frustrating!
I wonder if it had anything to do with the cosmo and the wine I've had tonight? Nah....
Diana: Is Cody your oldest son? I'm sorry you have to see him go. ((((Hugs))) to you. Doesn't matter how old they get, that can never be easy, regardless of how noble the reason.
Wendy: I'd not mind at all sharing a hotel room with you. If we're doing the CT casino thing, you won't need to worry about the $$$ of the room. SO has firmly instructed me to tell you that the room can easily be comp'ed (yep, we've spent enough time there...). He's also getting promos in the mail all the time for free rooms, so one way or another we can make our stay pretty cheap. (Now, I realize I'm sounding like a big gambler...I'm really not. I'm small time. SO likes to play with the big boys though ) What's pretty cool is that the two casinos, Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun, are close enough to each other that we could easily work it out so that we spent some time at both seeing we'll be staying overnight! Each one has its own style for sure. In fact, I'm going down to Mohegan tomorrow night with my sister and my niece. My niece and her friend have tickets to see The Killers and my sister and I are having dinner. Looking forward to that! So how long do you think it would take you to get to CT?
Well, I've been typing for way too long now...gotta see if either the Bruins or the Celts can manage a win tonight. Gotta tell ya it's not lookin' good tho
