•••••••••• clean it up tuesday ••••••••••

So.....I ran four miles yesterday. It hurt. And by dinner time I had multiple people ask me why I was limping :(

There is food everywhere - chips, cookies, danishes. It's awful.

I am getting ready to head to the fitness center - either a swim or lifting, not sure.

This is depressing. Appt with sports med doctor is Thursday. Cross your fingers for me.

Service in these buildings is weird, check back when I can.
 
katie, soooo sorry abt the knee! i can imagine how disappointed you are.
and all the treats around adds insult to injury - literally. do your best to portion control, keep your meals nourishing and your water intake high. got any altoids??

flooring starts today! its going to be loud im sure so we're gettin' outta here! picking up laura and going to the beach for the day!

need a stop @ the chiro too -mustve slept funny:confused::mad:

wo tonight - sjp
 
Hi Clean Eaters !

I've been a lurker but not posted in this check-in before. I think I need to tighten up my eating some and thought maybe checking in would help ...? Maybe ??:eek: ha

I'm pretty sure Patti posts here .....? and she gave me a great protein pancake that I've been eating almost every morning for breakfast. SO GOOD!! Thanks again Patti .

I just did an icycle that was 40 min. cycling, 10 min. abs, 10 min. stretch ! Good workout !

Oops! I should say my name is Becky . I have 3 kids. I know I'm older than all of you. I'm Cathe's age, but my kids are grown. Two out of the house and my youngest daughter is still at home but just graduated HS.

Nice to *meet* you all ! I'm going to make a pancake now for my after workout meal.

Becky
 
Hi Becky and welcome! I love recipes and post them often- Kate as you know from lurking, is also a recipe queen. :)

OK, sort of embarassed, but gotta tell you to check out the success stories. :D Please don't hold the before picture over my head- WAIT, DO hold it over my head when I fall off the wagon.

Katie: So sorry about the pain. I truly hope this passes.

Hi Kate!

BBL, gotta get legs in and get to a doctor's appointment.
 
Morning!

Sorry I never got back here yesterday-was in a bad mood. The kids were all driving me insane. I feel like such crummy mom. Why can't I be one of those moms that are so patient and calm? I did manage to get in a late workout-BM upper/abs. It's been eons since I did it-she goes way too fast. I like endurance and all but sheesh! Today starts week 4 of C25K so I'll be doing a run/walk tonight. Heading out to go look at some furniture and run some errands.

Katie, sorry about the food and the leg. Fingers and toes crossed for a good outcome Thursday.

Kate, great day for the beach! I can't wait til Saturday!

Welcome Becky!! This is an awesome group of ladies-super supportive, kind, and giving:)

Patti, I don't see anything in the Success Stories. Posted yet? Can't wait to make that apple recipe you posted last night-yum!

Morning Anne, Robin, Colleen, Lisa, Nina, Steph, Kath-did I forget anyone?

Kate, what beach are you going to?

Klaudia, BM2 UB is a great idea, I think I'll do that this week.

Patti, I haven't read your story yet, but will do so ASAP.

Becky, welcome! This is a great group, trust me.

Katie, I hope you're feeling better. Make sure the sports doc understands you're an athlete. Let him/her know how much you train.

Hi to Colleen, Angie, Lisa, Nina, Steph and Kath!

I did nothing last night. I'm such a slug. Oh, well, today is another day. I'll do better, I promise!

anne
 
Good Morning Everyone!

I am a little tight this morning. I think I will do a good stretch tonight. I did Insanity Pure Cardio this morning and it is tough because there aren't any breaks. I also did CTX Shoulders.

Katie, sounds like you are headed for PT. I have to do hip raises daily because my hips are weak.
Kate, good plan to go to the beach today. I don't think I could stand all that banging.
Welcome Becky! I haven't tried Patti's protein pancakes yet but I was thinking of doing that in 2 weeks when I have the week off.
Patti, I will have to check out the apple recipe you posted last night. I love apples.
Klaudia, I agree Cathe goes too quickly in BM2 UB. Take a deep breathe - you have vacation soon.
Anne, you are not a slug. You have a lot going on right now and sometimes you just need a break.

Robin! I forgot to say hi to you--I'm sorry. Bad, Anne, bad check-in friend!

You made LOL about the drunk mom comment--I totally agree. If anybody's that calm there must be drugs involved.

Thanks for the welcome !!

I just had my birthday and turned 46. :eek:

I like to cook but I LOVE to bake, so I think I'll fit in pretty good here from the looks of it.;)

I saw the apple crockpot recipe yesterday & I'll try that one soon ! It looks yummy.

Boy, it's hot here today !!! (Ohio) But I love summer!!:cool:

Becky

Morris (not sure if that's what you are called)....... you moved to Florida ? Do you like it ??
One day I'd love to live there. We spend some time near Clearwater in the winter. My parents get a condo there for the winter and we go visit. I love it.

Moves are so stressful though.
Nice to meet you!
Becky
 
hi becky - call me morris or nina:) we moved from maine, where i loved living, except for the entire winter - a bit long, probably like ohio. jacksonville is okay. we live in a pretty area, and in a few months it will be great. right now it is is just so darn hot. i don't mind sweating early in the morning, but all day gets to be a bit much.

snack attack:mad:too many nuts and dried fruit. could have been ice cream i guess. i just want to go to bed. dh is going out tonight, so if i can make it to kiddos bedtime, i am good.
