Hi Andrea. I'm here, but not in a good mood (again). Some days I think I need a new job. My clothes haven't loosened up much either if that makes you feel better. I didn't WO today - tired after traveling all weekend. Hope to get after it with a vengeance tomorrow. Guess I'd better...

Hi everyone. Didn't WO this morning - decided to cuddle up w/ DH instead. May get something in tonight or cram in one of the 4DS cardio routines tomorrow morning before I leave for the weekend. I DID lose 2lb this week, though! I was so excited! It seems like forever since I lost any...

Jean, I thought Jillian was pretty mean, but she always seems meaner than Bob. I have mixed feelings about the drill sergeant thing, though. Sometimes people need the wake-up call and it's not like they didn't know what they were signing up for...

Amelia, it sounds like you're getting your cardio by jumping up and down :D. Congratulations!

Good morning. Managed some situps during Biggest Loser last night (had a challenge w/ the kids), but that's it. Had a food meltdown courtesy of my foul mood (which seems to be taking up permanent residence). The one thing I CAN say for BL, though is that it motivated me to get my butt up...

Hey there girlfriends! Didn't WO this morning (lazy :confused:). Right now I'm thinking about just alternating jumping jacks and crunches during the commercial breakds of Biggest Loser this evening. I could probably get at least one kid to join in too. They LOVE Biggest Loser. Then I'll do...

Good morning! I did the LowMax 1-4 premix today. Didn't trip on my step TOO many times :p. Seriously, I felt like a total klutz this morning! Tomorow will be either LIC or the BM2 Power Circuits. Andrea, good luck w/ that endurance rotation. I'm doing Cathe's September rotation (after a...

Our family of 4 spends about $400-$500 per month, not including the $ in the kids' lunch accounts at school. School lunches are probably around $30/mo. and like someone else said, probably more cost effective and just as healthy as what I would send (and more variety too). I don't buy...

Hi everyone. Roxie, I put up a pic yesterday too. It's my FIL, my kids & me. I don't think I have one of just me LOL. I got my bike ride in today - rode 2.5mi w/ DS - he still struggles a lot on the uphill parts and it was WINDY (against us of course) today. It was kind of slow for me, so...

Hi everyone. No formal WO today - too much stuff going on to fit it in easily. DS and I did get a short walk in while DD was @ gymnastics, though. I'm planning to get in a run tomorrow - maybe a bike ride instead if I can get DS to go w/ me (he's a little tubby, could use the exercise). My...

I was 31 (near 32) when I had my son and 36 when I had my daughter. My DH was 40 and 44, respectively - DEFINITELY an older dad. We're in a similar situation to my parents with my brother & me. My in-laws had 3 kids in their early 20s. Like many other people have said, it's a personal...

Hey there! Better late than never to check in, I suppose. I ws doing my level best to talk myself out of WO today (L&G), but managed to gut it out :cool: (no pun intended). I think my legs will be jelly tomorrow, though. Just as well, I could use tomorrow as an off day. I have to take DD...

Hey there! Didn't manage to get in my elliptical last night :mad: Had a "thing" at the kids' after school program. Then homework and some other stuff that HAD to be done. Blech. Also didn't do the L&G that was on my agenda this morning. I think I'm gonna either do that tomorrow and skip...

Hi everyone. Andrea, before you congratulate me on doing BM2, you need to realize that I only did the step combos:o. Skipped the rest for lack of time/energy/etc. I really like that part of the WO and do it frequently. Amelia, congrats on the interview! What is it they say about one door...

Good morning girls! Andrea, sorry to hear about your puppy :(. Amelia, sorry you have to part w/ some of your WO - just remember it's temporary :) Hi Roxie and Elaine! Hi Jean! I got my WO in this morning. The step segments from BM2 - boy was I sweating! I need to try for longer WO, but...

Good morning ladies! We had a busy weekend - gymnastics, errands, etc. on Saturday and then we took the kids to the State Fair yesterday. Managed not to eat TOO much fair food - kept my weight the same over the WE (a MAJOR feat sometimes). AND, this morning I got up and did one of the...

LOL Laura! I'm there with ya!

Hi there. I got up and did a little yoga today. Not much, but I was talking myself out of a WO so I just got up and did it. I think I'm going to start Cathe's Sept. rotation on Monday (w/ mods for the DVDs I don't have ;)). Andrea, thanks for the shout out. I've been in a bad place...

Good morning girls! Still struggling w/ getting up to WO so I "owe" a WO this evening. I think I'll do a 30min iClimb - I did a GREAT hill WO a couple weeks ago on the elliptical so I think that will be on the agenda. Probably yoga tomorrow as I'm sure I'll need the stretch. Roxie and...

I had the same knot awhile back. In addition to the above-mentioned stretched w/ the 3lb dumbbell, I did quite a bit of yoga (you'd be surprised what poses stretch that area!) and it eventually worked itself out. Child's pose helped a lot as did down dog.
