I cannot sleep!!!!!!!

Isabel woke up an hour ago and wanted to come to bed with us. She's had a snotty nose so I let her. But now I can't get back to sleep. I'm thinking about everything I need to do in the next couple days and all of the plans we have this summer. After I finish here I'll do a little paperwork and try to get back to sleep for a bit.

I work at preschool this AM - should be fun. I'll have payroll to do sometime today - not sure if I want to do it at 4 when Amy leaves or after DDs go to bed. Pros and cons to both. I really want to make a roast for dinner - its thawed and ready. So if I go at 4 I won't be able to make my roast. But if I go at night I'd probably have to skip my WO. Ugh - decisions, decisions.

b - kashi, banana
s - pretzels, raisins (this is what I'm taking for preschool snack. I might sneak grapes for me, but at $2/pound those kids aren't getting my grapes!!!)
l - ?? maybe scr. egg whites and fruit and 9-grain toast?
s - ??
d - I really want to make a roast w/ carrots and potatoes and onion!!

If I get to WO I want to do C&W. I need a good circuit today. I took the last 2 days off and need to give myself a kick.

Well, off to work for a little bit - anybody else up? Robin??
 
Oh my word!

I was just checking the RT forum! A certain male posted about women wearing "see-thru jammies" at the RT then posted again hoping he didn't offend anybody. Sicko. If I recall correctly this is the same guy that threw a hissy fir on OD that he was "leaving Cathe" because it was too female-oriented. Wierd.....

Anybody *really* creeped out by this???
 
Hey Kate, sorry you can't sleep. I don't know what to tell you about dinner/payroll/workout. See how you feel at 4 pm and then decide. Could you put it in the crock pot and let it cook itself while you do payroll?

Yes, I saw the thread that you are mentioning and it was a bit weird...

_____________________________________________________

GUESS WHAT?? As if I didn't already have enough excitement in my life, I GOT A NEW CAR!! YAY!! Well, it's not brand new, but new to me. It's a 2007 Toyota Highlander, black, 3 rows of seats and a sunroof. Definitely the nicest car I have ever owned.

Chris has a BUNCH of cars, and my car is starting to feel too small, so we decided to get rid of all of the existing cars and get just two that were nicer and newer. Plus now that we are combining households we will have more money between us.

Today will be crazy again. I will work my butt off at work, then come home and bake my butt off -- gotta get these cakes going tonight!

Menu--

b cereal
s apple, almonds
l sandwich, strawberries
s protein bar
d chicken and pasta, green beans
 
Morning early birds.

Congrats Katie, I love toyotas and I need to swap my Rav 4 for a highlander.

Sorry you did not sleep well Kate. I hope that you can take a good nap later on.

My w/o will be GS Legs
Menu:
b-english muffin and egg whites
s-smoothie
l-turkey sandwich
D-??

Can anyone tell me again what is a good website for calorie counting?
 
Morning clean eating insomniacs!

That was me last week! Couldnt sleep to save my life!

Kate, i know those nights, its a mix of excitement (somehow) and stress! I'm totally freaking about the RT, it keeps me up at night, i want to get in sooo badly. And i want all of us in soo badly, i start thinking about what if one of us doesnt get in, or me, or no one, then what...good lord! I dont have a slow cooker, but can you do the roast in the slow cooker, so you can have the best of both worlds? Can the new book keeper cook :) Add that to her job description :)

Katie, congrats on the new car? I'm so moving in with you! You've got great stuff.

Robin, my favourite site is the daily plate as Kate mentioned. I find it easier that fitday, but tons of people like fitday as well.

Hello Jenn, Shirl and Colleen!

Last night i had my trainer, HIIT on the treadmill, then circuit stuff with squats, kettlebells, hanging core. New gym, lots of blonds with big fake boobs though. Not sure...

I was wiped last night, never know what to do the day after Rouven. I think MIS, and core, i was going to work legs, but he kinda killed me yesterday.
Menu:
B: egg white mayhem
s: cc/pp/almonds
l: tofu noodle soup, veggies, hummus, apple
s: ryveta/pb
d: probably stir fry, i have soo many veggies chopped ready to go into the wok.
BBL

Good morning Katie!
yay on the new car! That's exciting! You'll look like secret service! Hope the ckae baking goes good tonight! Chew some strong peppermint gum so you're not tempted to sample.

My dream vehicle right now is a Nissan Armada. Sooooo cool! Its huge - it looks like a dinosaur! But I really like having no car payment so I'll keep the Durango. Which is pretty bad-a$$ too but I really want the Armada.

Robin, I think its dailyplate.com. Free too! What are you rplans for Day2 of Spring Break?? Are you lovin' it?
 
Steph, yeah, I was thiniking about RT too. Anytime I put a roast in the slow cooker it ends up tough and nasty. Any tips from anybody? You sure wouldn't have fit in at that gym! LOL! But I'm sure you whooped em! TAKE A REST DAY TODAY!!!!
 
Preschool was a blast - we were outside most of the time.

It is GORGEOUS outside so DDs and I will be taking our lunches outside to eat. Its sunny and warm and slightly breezy.

Everybody having a good day??
 
Hey Colleen - how are you feeling today? Did you do the whole 1.5 hours???!!! I've only done it 2x - thank goodness for premixes!!!

Lunch was tidy - big salad, watermelon, slice of pizza
 
Where my peeps at???

Roast is in the oven, just got home to throw the veggies in. Dinner in 1 hour. Yummmmm..smells so good.

Have I said recently how much I hate wokring???? Well I do! I have a big meeting Monday with the CPA - yuck. I can't wait to quit!!!!

I have NOT gotten my nap. Hoping to eek out enough energy for some sort of WO tonight. Send me some vibes!

Katie, sending no-cake-batter vibes at ya!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
Kate, I ALWAYS chew gum when cake decorating so that I won't sample!! I am making white almond sour cream cake with strawberry filling, YUM! I agree that the Nissan Armada is a bad looking vehicle! When I cook a roast in the crock pot, I cover it with beef broth and mushroom soup and it gets so tender and wonderful, never tough!

Off to start cake bake max, bbl!
 
Katie, I'll have to try your roast method sometime. I must have about 30 roasts in my freezer!!! Have fun with the fondant. I like using it but man, that stuff tastes AWFUL! You can flavor it with different extracts but it never totally loses that plastic taste and it just plain FEELS like you're eating plastic!

Roast was yuuuummmmmmyyyyy! And guess what? I resisted the gravy AND the homemade french bread I made! 10 points for me!!

Feelin' good so far - still hopin' for a sweatfest in a bit. Then paperworkmax. Yuck!
 
Hi Everyone,

Finally home, had dinner, cleaned up. Busy day at work and my trainee is very high maintenance. He gets stressed over every little thing. Today it was my turn to help him because my boss had a headache and asked me to help out.

Katie, congrats on the new car!!!! Good luck making your cake.
Kate, glad your roast turned out great. Yes, I did the whole workout. I am feeling better and the workout felt great.
Steph, you are brave to do strength training after your trainer sessions. I would probably do light cardio after such intense training.
Robin, has your spring break started yet?

Have a good night everyone!

Colleen
 
Colleen, ITA about high-maintenance trainees. Mine's dong a good job but likes me to double-check a lot of what she does despite the fact that she is very capable. Need to remind myself she's only been with us for 2 weeks. Glad you're feeling better. Wow - all of BM2 before work - you go girl!

I just finished C& W but didn't do the abs. Can't lay on my back anymore - bummer. Need to find some DVDs for that....

Off to paperland!

How's the cake comin' Katie!! Take a pic when its done! Lets see your handiwork!
