good morning everybody! Why does the night have to go by so quickly? Today will go by fast too though - lots to do to get ready to leave Saturday morning. 9 days of vacation...ahhhh!!!!
Other than my typical kashi and fruit I have no idea what I'm eating today. I have potatoes to use up before we leave so any ideas on what I should do with them and/or make with them? Anybody else ever get tired of being the one to plan all of the evening meals? I guess it's nice that my family is so accomodating to eat whatever I make (as long as they like it that is!).
No idea on a workout either. Maybe cardio during the day, weights tonight. That would be ideal, but we'll see.
I had some seriously strong contractions last night so that's exciting. Less than 15 weeks to go! They weren't anything that I felt lke I was in labor but they were def. the practice contractions. 3 more months!!!
Hope everyone has a good day today!

Katie, I'm def. aiming for clean, but you can eat the cleats!;-) :+ Sorry about troubles with Chris. ((hugs)) Have a fun (clean) lunch out! No fries!;-) Great WO! Makes you feel so good doesn't it?
Robin, Good for you figuring out your workour weaknesses. Seems like it's almost harder for me on the weekends, tho I technically should have more time to do them with Mike being around.
Well, I haven't ate yet - busy doing payroll stuff and the girls are playing so nicely downstairs. I should call them up and get our day started.....

Kate, sorry about you mom yesterday, and you're not a bad daughter, you're concerned. I give my mom crap all the time. What about baked potatoes with salsa? or chop and bake them with olive oil and dill like fries? I love potatoes
Katie, excellent workout. Maybe the fighting are from post wedding let down, that can happen. Dont change who you are though, i gave up a lot of myself and took on a role, and that's bad!
Robin, you working out today? Maybe you should slow your workouts down mid week and kick butt early in the week when you have the energy?
Hello to Shirl, Colleen, Jenn and Angie..Shelley, you out there
Today, i'm thinking Jari's ripped and chisled, minus the leg stuff and add core, last night DM leg blast was enough on the legs thank you.

Sorry, Steph, about barfmax! Can you order from target on line and have it delivered? Thanks for the potato suggestions. Maybe I'll do one of them with grilled chicken. Do you like Jari? I can't get over how she looks - too thin. I'd be feeling super bad about myself by the end of the WO! What is Christian's goal for going away? Work on relationship? (((hugs)))

Good Morning Everyone!
Not feeling that great this morning so I skipped my workout. DH has told me to go to the dr's. So I guess I will call them and see what we can workout between all my meetings the next 2 days.
Steph, sorry about the barfmax. Maybe you can get one of those spacesaver bags and put the bedding in there. You'll just need extra room in your suitcase My friends swear by them for their trips.
Robin, I saw a 5 day rotation on the rotation forum I think. If I find it again, I will let you know.
Katie, sorry about all the fighting. You guys are probably just settling in.
Kate, I like making the potatoes with olive oil when I am craving fries. Lately, I have been making baked potatoes.
Hi Angie, Jenn, Shirl & Shelley!
b: oatmeal w/ almonds
rest of day is tbd.

Checking in to say "Clean as a whistle!"
We had leftover spaghetti stuff so I had meatballs and sauce over corn, raw green peppers and carrots. And a big bowl of watermelon. I am sufficiently satisfied.
Napmax is next on my agenda, then it's more cleaning and organizing. I *have* to have everyhting spic'n'span before vacations. Drives me crazy to leave a mess.
Katie, Hope your lunch is fun and clean!!

Kate I know what you mean about leaving a mess. No one likes to come home to a dirty house.
Katie you and Chris are both getting to know one another. You know the saying "you really don't know someone unless you live with them".
Talk to him and keep an open mind. Even though you work outside the home, most men still think that a woman is suppose to do it all.
LOL Steph barfmax on the bed. Hey I say shop-until-you-drop.
Colleen let's us know what the doctor said. I think that you should call him/her today. Feel better girl.
I was thinking of a rotation like this:
Fri- weights (like pushpull)
Sat- step cardio
Sun-Circuit
Mon-power walk or kickbox
Tues- weights
Wed and thur-off???
This way I will have weights 3 times per week and cardio 3 times per week.

Good morning all (still morning on the west coast!),
Sorry it's so late for my check-in. We went for a walk max first thing this morning since it was cool out. It's been so nice the past few days because it's been cloudy and cool. Great break from the 100+ weather we usually have in the desert.
I got in Turbo Jam last night and then had my chicken fajita. I was tempted to have a big bowl of ice cream with chocolate and reses sprinkles but I just took a shower instead and avoided it! All that ice cream talk yesterday was no good!
Anyway, here's what I've had so far today:
b: clif bar/orange
l: leftover mashed potato deal that I made the other night
s: two low fat chocolate meringues that I got at Trader Joe's. They're good cookie substitutions.
d: probably going to make spaghetti. Haven't decided yet.
WO will be 4DS as usual. I think it's the bi/tri one with boot camp. That one is so crazy hard.
Kate, I'm so jealous that you're going on vacation. I could really use one. Thankfully we'll be heading to France soon (just me and Ryan) for probably a week to check it out. That's a good enough vacation!
Katie, sorry about the fights. I really believe that my first year of marriage was the hardest. There is just so much to learn about each other (even though we had dated 5 years!). My only advice would be never stop trying!
Robin, I think your rotation sounds good. I can't wait until I have more videos than 4DS and turbo jam!
Steph, sorry about the bedding! Someone fill me in on all the Target talk!
Colleen, I hope you're feeling better. Did you go to the doc?
I don't remember who asked about home schooling yesterday. I think we will most likely home school long term but I am taking it one day at a time. When we're in France, the girls might go 2 mornings a week or something just to get immersed in the language but we want their main education to come from us. We've never lived in a place where we've been happy with the public education and we both very strongly believe in a solid education so this is our decision for now. I'm using a curriculum that I absolutely love so that helps - www.sonlight.com
Anyway, time for library books.
Have a great day all!

May I join your check in? What Clean Eating Guidelines are you using?
I've been doing Cathe for going on 3 years now, Fit Prime and Firm before that and I sometimes check in over at the Firm Ya'Ya's but not too often anymore. No time. I'm 54 soon to be 55 and I have an 11 year old son. My weight is going up and I have to make some changes but whenever I say I have to go on a diet I go crazy and eat more. I have to get 10lbs off. 5 #to fit into my pants and 10# to get back to a size 10. I've never been thin, I'm only 5'4 but I want to be healthy and I don't feel so good.
I've been running since early May doing 3 to 4 miles using Cardio Coach mixed with Cathe because of summer's crazy schedule with vacation travel but I hurt my ankle running too much so I've taken a break. Last week I ran only 2x & did TLT;s and this week I'm doing Cathe's 4 Day Split and then I'll see about running again.
Anyway. Food is the main issue right now.
I need some eating structure big time.

Angie, A mornign walk sounds great! And See! You're doing better with the eating already! Just remember next time you want an unsceduled cheat how good you felt that you resisted! IT'll get easier and easier. A week in France with DH sounds wonderful!! *I"M* jealous!! As far as the Target talk - Steph lives in Canada where there is *gasp* NO TARGET! How does she survive?;-) So when she's here for RT Katie, Colleen, and I are taking her there!
Hey Robin! That's too cute DD is ordering DVDs!
Colleen/Coco: Welcome! We really have no guidelines. We all do what feels best to us.Props to you on running - I wish I liked it bit the only way I would run is if I was being chased by a man with a chainsaw! And Food is ALWAYS the main issue!
I'm 28, a married stay-at-home mom of 2 girls with another on the way.
I just had my PM snack - 9-grain toast with some cinnamon (and a *tiny* bit of sugar) sprinkled on top. Time to tackle the basement - aka toy-box-threw-up!

Hi Colleen/Coco how are you? Welcome to our chat forum. Mostly we follow the ideas of Tosca Reno Clean Eating Diet. You can check her website to get ideas on how to eat clean. Also there is a clean eating magazine.
http://www.toscareno.com
My name is Robin and I'm a single mom of 2 kids. My diet always needs a lot of work so checking in daily helps me stay on track. I ussually eat 3 meals and 2 or 3 snacks per day.
Toy box threw up Kate? Have fun.;-)

Thanks for the warm welcome Kate & Robin.
I just finished 4DS low impact legs & shoulders/core. It felt good. I started running because I knew I'd be away from my home alot this summer and I needed a hard workout on the road. I miss my Cathe.
I'll check out the tosca link asap. Off to pick up my son from a 1/2 day sailing camp. Poor kid.
I'll check in tomorrow and saw hi to all of you then.

Hi Coco, and welcome! I second Kate, "clean" is different for us all, we just do the best we each can!
Tired, and dinner is not yet cooked (although I think I've guilted Chris into cooking!). Thanks for the advice on the newlywed strife!!
I'll check in with personals after dinner when things have calmed down a bit!!
