Morning girls,

Sorry I never came back yesterday. Seems that I can get time to sit down in the morning but by the time you all post, I'm feeding my family and putting everyone to bed so it's a little crazy around here.

This morning was S&H triceps and Drill Max cardio blast. I also did most of the ab work from S&H but stopped during the oblique work. I'm still sore from TJ abs on Sat! My cardio capacity is still a little short. Not sure if it's still a cold or allergies or what but def had to do some modifying. I have insanity on tap for tomorrow. I might have to change that.

Katie, I totally hear you on the pg blues. It's so funny b/c we work and work to get pg and we are so excited and then all the sudden we're so down on ourselves for our self image. It's so not worth it. Just keep reminding yourself of the work your body is doing and do your best to take care of your body. Don't push yourself or expect too much. You'll be a new woman in a few weeks!

Kate, so glad you had a nice night out with the fam. I'm glad you can relate on the 5 lbs. It's so annoying how much of a difference it makes all around!

Becky, so fun on the tree swings! I'm motivated that you said you had good results from S&H. Have fun with pyramids this week!

Wendy, your oatmeal sounds yummy. I'm glad you've been able to do the ellip. I love those things and would love to have one in my home someday (along with a treadmill, stair stepper and spin bike :p). S&H music is eh. But it's not really necessary b/c the moves are SOOOOO slow. It's just a relaxing lift which is good for the early AM! And yes, most French are everyday shoppers. It's funny. I just don't operate that way! So we buy 5 of everything! :) Oh, and JJ is absolutely ADORABLE!!!

Klaudia, your weekend sounds nice and relaxing. Get your S&H back from your neighbor. I'm sure you'll love it! And I will definitely be pushing with PTO or whatever to get better lunches for the schools when we're there. Such a joke.

Colleen, sorry for the FD. Glad it all worked out ok. So annoying. I hate stuff like that. What is KBX? I think a few months ago S&H would have totally annoyed me but for some reason I'm into it right now. I guess it's just what I'm looking for at a given time. Hope you get that call soon!

Clintonya, yeah, the French are weird. I guess it's just cultural. We do have a fresh market 2 times per week. I don't go often though. It's just chaos and the produce and such isn't much better than what's in the stores. Plus it smells so badly of fish I can barely stand it! Hope you had a productive day! It's funny how "one serving" can be something that we should all learn to do (especially with chips!). :)

Nina, sorry about the rough start to your day. How does DH think you're unhealthy? Bummer. :( I hope the melatonin works out for you. I was on an anti-dep in college and it sucked. I would stay away. Check out that book Kl recommended.

Lisa, home made oreos? YUMMO! I would check out S&H. I think by looking at the clips on her site you can definitely get a good feel for it. Sorry about the eating this past weekend. We all find ourselves there sometimes. I think the trick is to just be conscious of it. I know that is my biggest problem. It's just mindless!!

Anne, are you back??

Well, today I have some studying to do (I am a broken record, I know) and housework. I am helping take Annabel's class to swimming this afternoon. Remember when I did that training back in Oct? Well, we're finally going. Wish me luck. I'm nervous b/c I don't speak french very well and I just am afraid it's going to be miserable! :(

Have an awesome day everyone!!
 
Morning!

MAC USERS HELP!!!!
My battery on my laptop WILL NOT charge!!! The little light on the cord wont light up and my battery is at 0%. WHAT is going on??!?!! I can't take my laptop off the power cord or it immediately dies! :mad::mad::mad::mad:

Errands today, again. Lots to catch up on from no vehicle all last week!
WO will be legs during Ju's nap and cardio tonight w/ Laura

Angie, I hope the swimming goes well for you! I would be very intimidated! Be proud of yourself for even attempting it!
Nice job on your WOs! I need to go watch some clips of TJ!
 
Morning ladies! Yesterday was a better day, thanks for the pep talks, and sorry for being such a moody preggo chick. I need to embrace it - fluff and all! I did a 30 minute walk on the tm last night, and a 30 min run/walk this morning. I will do BBL tomorrow and thursday.
 
Good Morning Girls ! :)

Angie, I agree ! You might end up enjoying the swimming, but even if not, you TRIED and you get points for that !!!;) It would be easy to just say you can't and not go.
Kate, sorry, no idea on a Mac.:confused: I have an HP laptop.
Hope someone can help.

I am SORE this morning from PUB!! HELLO biceps & chest !:eek:

Today is cardio & core day. I think maybe I'll spin.........:D:D

becky, yay for doms from pub! dontcha love it?!?!

kate, im no help with a mac either, sorry. but if it were mine (non-mac) i would think i needed a new battery. they aint cheap... might your comp still be under warranty?

angie, glad s&h is meh in music dept, all the more reason i wont buy it =) but i WILL buy myself an elliptical when i win the lottery (long list going for that lol)... then i'd have to buy a new house to put it in cuz theres no room here!!!!!!!! i remember only finding those small boxes of shelf-stable milk...do kids not drink much milk in fr?

b - oatmeal w/alm milk, pecans, apples
l - br rice cali roll
d - donno but it better be clean

hi ho hi ho, off to the gym i go... ellip and core today.
 
Hi Everyone!

Well this morning I finally tried P57. I received it last week but thought they did not send me a needle to blow up the ball. DH looked at it yesterday and found they did. It was hidden in the pump! Too funny. Anyway, it moved pretty quickly so I didn't get all the moves right away but my legs and abs were fried. I have a dr's appt. this morning then onto work.

Kate, you need a new battery. I don't know if the battery is covered under warranty or not. Chris deals with that stuff so if I need something it magically appears and it is fixed.
Nina, plyo legs is slightly different each week. She takes half the exercises from the previous week and adds on new ones.
Angie, good luck with swimming. I think I would get so frustrated I could not communicate well.
Wendy, enjoy your workout today.
Katie, glad you are doing better.

Need to go and cut up veggies before my doctor's appt. I am so sick of traveling on the weekends. It takes me until Wednesday to get all caught up.
 
Morning!

Another busy day-Nevena has school, then I have to head up to the girls' school for a Star Student assembly for Milla, workout, hit the grocery store, and make dinner. My upper body and abs are so sore. Today will be legs and a run/walk.

Angie, you'll be fine a la piscine! My asthma is kicking in smething fierce-hope my cardio doesn't suffer for it.

Kate, we have the same day planned!

Katie, good job getting those workouts in! Enjoy your solo time:)

Becky, have a great workout!
 
I had a great 45 minute SPIN and then abs! :) :) :) :)

Had a great smoothie too with a little almond milk, a little cold coffee that I made last night (hubbys K-cup) COCONUT flavored, is awesome !!......added chocolate protein powder, frozen banana, a little oatmeal (since this WAS my breakfast) and a handful of spinach ! Couldn't taste the spinach AT ALL. It tasted tropical with the banana and coconut and a little chocolate. AWESOME! Definitely a keeper! :)
 
Good morning!

Angie, great w/o! Are you in an area w/a lot of trees or more in the city? The last few mornings when I have left home my head has immediately stuffed up and my eye started itching all on the right side only! Good luck w/the swimming!

Kate, like Colleen said, a new battery! You should be able to order one from the online store or get one at the apple store.

Katie, hope you have a good day! And it’s not fluff :):)

Becky, yea for the soreness! :) The smoothie sounds delicious – I need something like that right now to give me some energy!

Wendy, have a good w/o!

Colleen, is that w/o from a series?

Klaudia, yea for the doms! Is the change of seasons affecting your asthma?

Nina, hope you slept ok :)

Hi to everyone!

Had a pretty good evening, but oldest dd was trying to test my patience! ttom for both of us so you can see how well that goes! And then youngest dd starts crying, cause she doesn’t like conflict :) Hope eveyone has a good day! Will bbl.

Clintonya
 
hi girls! Needed a new power cord. $80 - boo to that!

got lots to do just wanted to send y'all a shout out!
 
Angie - I will probably get it later. I'm eyeing the PUB/PLB on sale right now since I have the vhs version. I just got through a bout of allergies and that stunk! Hope you feel better.

Becky - I get the same doms from PUB also - chests and biceps!

Katie - I agree with what the other girls said, embrace being pg because it will be over before you know it. And I'm sure you look great.

Kate - Boo to a new $80 powercord!

Wendy - Have fun at the gym!

Klaudia - Yay Milla!

Colleen - Glad you found the needle. Sorry about all the traveling. That is hard.

Okay, eeked out Imax3 even though I really wanted to lay in bed. I have a cold sore on my tongue and I'm pretty sure I'm PMSing so not a good combo right now. Gotta jump in the shower, go to work, then off to run errands. Need to get to the bank today also. Not sure what I'm going to make for dinner. Thinking out dinner can be such a chore sometimes. Does anyone else feel that way?
 
GS Legs-standing is all done:) Still need to try and get a run in there since I went to TJ Maxx instead this morning;) Eats are ok, too. Not sure on dinner-still haven't made it to the grocery store:eek:
 
Kate, glad you were able to get it fixed!

Lisa, hope the day goes well for you, sounds like a busy one!!

Klaudia, did you buy some clothes?

I tried on my shorts this weekend and they fit better! Hoping for just a little bit more progress so they will be almost loose – for me, when I am out in the heat it helps to not have on something too tight! Will try to do MMA Kickbox but , I am getting a migraine.

Clintonya
 
Ooh, Clintonya I hope you feel better! Migraines are the worst-my dh and Milla get them:( I bought a going out top for Saturday night-we're going to a concert to see Stevie B, Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam, C&C Music Factory, Rob Base, and Shannon and the Cover Girls at the Motor City Casino-in a party bus! Oh, and I bought a quilt!;)

Lisa, hope you feel better! And I hate thinking out dinner! Trying to make sure the girls don't have the same protein they had for lunch, make sure there's a veg, blah...
 
I got my run in! My neighbor who runs marathons was going running and asked me to go with her-I even kept up with her pace(she slowed down for me;)) My legs will be screaming at me tomorrow!
