Commit to get Fit & Lean January 2016 - 2023

Good morning,

Christi Taylor Totally Cool Step (1 without the step :)) is done. Holly crap! Totally Cool step is tough! LOVE, LOVE her music. Glad I done it without the step. The first combo was tricky, the 2nd combo I got the hang of it. Lots of fun. Got 7000 steps with Christi, not bad.

Debbie - I am glad I did the step without the step, lol. I probably would have fallen off the step today. Sorry about your DH's problem. Which reminds me I need to make an appointment for that too. Good job yesterday.

Good job, everyone.

Hi,

Today I did 10 min. booty lift ( I did 2 of the strength workouts). I forgot how much I like this one, tomorrow I will do the cardio ones.

Belinda - That is a great step count!! I would have fallen off too:)

Waves hi to Kristin

Goodnight:)
 
Good morning,

STS M3 W1 D27 + SBF barre is done.

Debbie - I really like doing step workouts without a step, lol. I don't have to worry about dripping over my step :) Great job yesterday.

Sorry no time for personals. Have to hurry to go to my appointment. See you all tomorrow.
 
Hey guys. This week was the most stressful week of my working life. I had to go to Central Office as a witness to the whole teacher accusing another teacher of bullying and then the assistant superintendent started questioning me as the union rep. . . I handled it very well, but I was upset at the end. Anyway. . . long story short. . . this girl tried to say that I and the other rep harrassed her to have the union mediate instead of her reporting the teacher to admin. We did talk to her twice about mediation. The first time she came to us, the second time we went to her. . . all in the same day. . . but we never bullied her or threatened her. . . this girl is crazy. I had the vice president of the union with me and she said I did a great job, but it was still stressful.

Anyway. . . it is over. I did hot yoga on Wednesday. Thursday was a rest day due to rain and feeling very drained. Today I ran six miles.

Belinda- how is Brawler these days? How is your knee?

Deb- Are you preordering this new series? I like the descriptions for the weight workouts. Just want to see pics/clips.

BBL,

Kristin
 
Hi,

The last 2 days were rest days. Tomorrow going to NYC with my SIL and friends so will do a lot of walking but not sure if I can get a workout in. Next week I can make-up for it;)

Belinda - I hope all went well with your appointment. Great job with your workouts:)

Kristin - That must have been so stressful:( That girl does sound crazy. TG you had the VP of the union by your side. Kudos on getting your workouts in. I think I will pre-order the new workouts I like the shorter workouts.

Goodnight:)
 
Athletic Training done this morning! It was supposed to rain here, but the sun is out and it is very humid. I'll take it. We are putting in a new patio (stampcrete) and the guys came today to break up the old patio. They left after an hour, saying that because of the wiring in the concrete in our existing patio, they need a special machine to break it apart. Now they will be back on Monday. I hope it doesn't rain then. Tomorrow I am supposed to go for a 10 mile run in the morning with some running friends.

Deb- The girl is a wacko. She is a millenial. The whole thing is ridiculous and could probably have been worked out and put to bed with mediation. I am sure the other teacher would have apologized. Now it is a big investigation. Next week more witnesses are being called in. What a way to end the year. One of the teachers at work wants to have an end of pear beach party. No one feels like celebrating. We are so defeated at this point. I cannot wait for the last day of school.

Waving hello to Belinda.

BBL,

Kristin
 
Kirstin - she does sound wacko :( Sorry you to hear all the trouble she is causing :( Thanks for asking about Brawler. He is doing well considering. He sleeps a lot lately. Good job on your workouts.

Debbie - The last few day's I been very busy with Ortho and dental appointments. I had my molds done TWICE :) She thought I was getting braces:( I was am getting invisalign. Thank goodness, they realized it before I left the office. What should have taking me about 45 min ended up taking me an 1.5 hours. They had to take lots of X-rays/ pictures. In 6 to 8 weeks I get Invisible.
 
Hi everyone,

I am still on the Christi Taylor kick :) I did Pure Spice workout. I had a blast. The workout had 12 songs, without any instruction. I had not problem following Christi. I can't believe I haven't pull that one out before. Bought it years ago :( I am slow, lol.

Not sure which instructor I will pull out next week? Maybe I'll keep going with Christi:)

Have a great weekend, everyone.
 
Hey guys. I forget to check in today. I ran a little over 9 miles today with my friend. We took an easy pace. Felt good. We ran by the north shore water.

I am really exhausted. When I wake up early and do a long run I feel so tired at this time. I don't even want to get up to go upstairs and go to bed, lol.

I will be back tomorrow with personals.

Hi,

I did a lot of walking yesterday when I went out with my SIL and friends in NYC. We all have cuts and blisters on our feet from all the walking and not wearing sneakers:( Today I also didn't get a workout in, we were at the emergency room with my FIL for seven hours (I am exhausted). He had a cut on his foot that wouldn't stop bleeding. The hospital have just installed a new computer system which was causing major delays too:( On a good note he was able to go home.

Can you believe how cold it is for June?

Belinda - I also wondered how invisalign was. It sounds like a great idea!

Kristin - It isn't a nice way to end the school year:( I can see why you can't wait for the last day, TG it is June!

Goodnight:)
 
Good morning,

STS M3 W2 D28 is done.

We started remodeling out guest bathroom this weekend. Paint is done. Had to return the new vanity, it had a crack. Got a new one, just to find out we have to do some cutting on the vanity too to fit the plumbing.

Debbie - I will have to change the invisalign once a week, for 14 month. At least I can eat whatever I want. I have to wait 6-8 week for them to come in. I probably have to see my orthodontist every 6-8 weeks for check ups.

Kirstin - I agree with Debbie. I would be happy too for the last school day. Are you pre ordering the new workouts? Today is the last day. I am not going too order. I will wait, plus I have more than enough workout dvd's I need to do first.

I been having lots of internet problem lately, I will keep it short. I will be back tomorrow.
 
I just realized I skipped D27 :) I did D28 instead, I will do D27 Wednesday. It was too early for me to workout this morning.
 
Hey guys. I just finished my workout for tonight. RWH: UBC, no blasts premix. I also took Baxter for a short walk.

I only have three more weeks of school. The investigation into the teacher is still going on. More people are being called in to give statements. The investigation into my role and the other union rep's role in trying to mediate is closed. We were both told that no disciplinary measures would be needed as we did nothing wrong. I am happy about that. . . I knew I did nothing wrong though.

Belinda- I am not preordering the new workouts. I will pay a little more if after clips and pics I am interested. I really would like to know about the cast and music selections. Invisalign, I had braces when I was a kid and my teeth went a little crooked again all these years later. I have often wondered about invisalign. Let me know what you think and it feels.

Deb- that is crazy about your FIL and his foot bleeding. Why couldn't they stop the bleeding for so long? Seven hours in the hospital is so draining. I always feel drained after leaving whether I am there for an hour or all day.

BBL,

Kristin
 
Hi,

Today I went to the gym and did the elliptical. I’m happy I went in the morning because was still tired even after having coffee this afternoon.

Belinda - The Invisalign sounds interesting and not as long as braces plus it’s good you don’t have to worry about eating.

Kristin - That is a relief that you are cleared hopefully a sign everything else will work out too! My FIL isn’t very healthy and he is on blood thinners so very dangerous when he gets cut. DH and I see how immobile his parents are and use it as motivation to stay healthy. Unfortunately, his sisters do not.

Goodnight:)
 
Hi everyone.

This morning I id ICE Low Impact sweat + Low Impact sweat buzzard blast are done.

Debbie- there a lot of pros about Invisalign. You can't eat with Invisalign, you have to take them out every time you eat. You also need to brush/floss your teeth every time you eat :) Four years ago, she wanted me to wear regular braces :( Glad she changed her mind four years later, lol. I am so sorry about your FIL. Why didn't they stop the bleeding? Why did he beed? From the blister? The last time DH and I went to NY, I had blisters too. I ran into the first shoe store and bought sneakers and socks :) My feet were happy. I was wearing cute shoes, but walking in them for hours didn't cut it. I ended up buying another sneakers you can wear for dresses/skirts. I learned my lesson, I always bring my sneakers now. I care less what it looks like.

Kirstin - that is great news you are cleared. hope the rest will work out soon too. You sure didn't needed the extra stress. How is your mom and dad doing? I didn't pre order either. I think I am done with buying dvd's.I had retainers for years, once we moved I lost them. My teeth went a little crooked too. Get yours done before you have to pay more $$. Both my kids had braces, both told me not get them. Glad I didn't.

Good night, everyone.
 
Hi,

Today I did shoulders and back with free weights. We also went to a funeral for my BIL Mom.

Belinda - Great job with your workout:) I agree, I will always wear sneakers when I am walking in the city. Also I could have easily bought them:rolleyes: don't know why I didn't. I always used to but for some reason I thought the shoes I was wearing were ok. My FIL has developed some bad sores on his legs but they are getting really bad from diabetes and because he is on blood thinners it makes it worse. He is going to a wound specialist and hopefully they could help him.

Waves hi to Kristin

Goodnight:)
 
Good morning

M3 W2 D30 is done. I messed up my workout for this week in the WM :( I should have done legs today. Oh well! It's all straight now.

Debbie - I learned my lessons not wearing sneakers in NY :) Nobody looks at your shoes anyway. At least I had a reason to go shoe shopping, lol.That is horrible about your FIL. Hope he feels better soon. Sorry about your BIL mom :(

Have a great day and workout.
 
Hi,

Today I took hot yoga. I thought I wouldn't be too sweaty because it was cooler out but I was wrong:)

Belinda - It's good that you have all week to straighten it out:)

Goodnight:)
 
Hey guys. I haven't had time to get online and check in, but I have been keeping up with my workouts. Tuesday I went to the high school track by my house and did a speed workout: 1 mile warmup slow, 6 X 400 (400 fast, 400 slow x6), then 1 mile slow cool down. All in all I ran 5 miles. Yesterday I did ICE To the Mat: Legs and Glutes.

Today I am chaperoning the annual 8th grade trip to Great Adventure. Every year I chaperone, I am exhausted by the time I get home. I plan on no workout today. Then tomorrow, I am supposed to get up early and run with my friend at 4:30 am. We shall see, lol.

Deb- Hot yoga is always hotter in the warmer months, lol. Even when it doesn't seem that warm out. I was supposed to go to hot yoga tonight, but my DS's birthday is Saturday. He wanted me to make cupcakes for his class for his class party on Friday. Can't do it tonight, so I had to do it last night.

Belinda- maybe I will look into invisalign. I have other dental issues that need to be addressed first, lol.

BBL,

Kristin
 
Good morning,

ICE Rock'm and Sock'm Kickboxing is doen.

Debbie - I always find a reason to go shopping. Love shoes and purses. Did you hear Kate Spade is dead :( So sad, she hang her self on Tuesday. Left a 13 year girl behind :( I am still in shock. Got lots of her purses.

Kirstine - enjoy your field trip today. I would be worn out too chasing kids around all day long. My Ortho told me Smile is basically invisalign except you don't see a Ortho. It's not a bad idea if your teeth aren't to crooked. I will have both my kids look into Smile instead seeing a Ortho.

Waving hi to everyone that checks in after me.
