C&T Friday - keep it clean!!

Morning Angie!! I saw on FB that you were having a hard time sleeping. How are you feeling? What a nightmare trying to contact a bunch of families and explain IN FRENCH that the party is rescheduled! I hope everyone in your house gets to feeling better very soon! Yesterday you asked if I will continue to run regularly and the answer is YES, I will - I am ADDICTED to running AND to racing. The OBX was my first HM but it will NOT be my last! It is so powerful to run with people of all ages, colors, shapes, sizes simply because we LOVE it. I know, I'm weird! If I can get my HM time down closer to 2 hours I will consider the full marathon.

Klaudia, how was the BBQ chicken? We use Stubb's sauce and marindes all the time - it's so good!

Colleen, thinking of you today, good luck, please keep us posted when you can!

Nina, how scary about the accident. Is your car damaged? How do you feel today? How many miles are you running each day lately? I would love to find a way to start running every day or most days and do weights in the evenings.... I bet DH would LOVE that :rolleyes: (kidding!)

Anne, let me know when you start the challenge. Are you doing both or push ups only?

Kate, how is the knee feeling? Please do not hesitate to see a physical therapist if you need to - it definitely helped me tremendously!!

Day Two of squeaky-clean-eating in the books, and weight is down another 1.5# today. I swear, it's crazy how my little body holds onto water! (and I am coming off of my period too)

Plans for the weekend? Not real sure.... I have this "Friends & Family" coupon to use at Gap/Old Navy (anyone else get these? LOVE them!) so I will do a little shopping with that. I may take Collin to a dog show thing tomorrow that my friend will be at. And he starts basketball at the Wellness Center on Sunday. Oh, and also Chris and I vowed that we would start visiting churches once my race was over and my Sundays were no longer devoted to long runs.

Gotta do some lifting, bbiab!
 
So I was awake until 4 and then made myself get up at 9 so I am pretty tired and still feeling prety nauseous. All I have eaten in the past few days is toast and pretzels. Right now I just want to climb in bed and sleep but I really want to sleep during the night too!

I am really hoping I feel better soon. Nothing worse than nausea... And jet lag and ttom! UGH!!!!

We got our new washer this morning which thrills me because our other one sucked and was so loud it sounded like a plane was taking off in my house. So I will be doing laundry this weekend... Pretty exciting!

Well I am posting from my iPhone sitting in the car while Ryan gets some food at the store... I'll be back later!
 
MOrning Ladies!

Katie, Good job on the clean eating and quick results! You're my motivation today!

Angie, Hope the jetlag works itself out FAST! That would be awful!
HOORAY for the new washer!

-
Normal Friday here and normal weekend ahead -
Swim on Saturday AM,
church Sunday AM
but one extra thing Sunday - the girls have a mini dance recital at a Senior center Sunday afternoon. Tey are both terribly nervous abt performing in front of people and I'll bet my life savings on the fact that Isabel will end up chickening out completely.:( Hoep I'm wrong!

MUST have clean eats today! KLAUDIA, you with me?!?!!?

Off to go do my AM CS! See ya!
 
Happy Friday!

I'm already feeling some DOMS from yesterday's workout-tomorrow should be fun:eek: Today is legs-I'm thinking 4DS. Nothing else planned except for maybe a trip to a different Target and maybe ON/TJ Maxx:) Eats were super clean yesterday! I've decided to have a cup of tea in the evenings to help curb my cravings. And my weight/bloat is less today too! Darrin and I have decided to schedule monthly date nights and family nights-actually put them in the calendar. We're also going to schedule one on one time with each of the girls each month. I'm looking forward to it!

Katie, chicken turned out good. Darrin wants me to try "real" bbq chicken with bone-in, skin on meat-we'll see about that! Busy weekend for you. Jealous of your coupon!

Angie, enjoy the new washer;) Hope you can kick this bug soon and get some real rest.

Kate, I'm with you!! Hope the girls do the recital-they're so fun to watch! Can you offer them a little incentive. We did that with Milla-she saw Danica getting flowers and little trinkets/cards for her recital and did a great job the following year. Just a thought:)
 
Good Friday Morning Girls !

I was up most of the night. Too bad about the time difference Angie, we could have chatted .;) I'm catching something. Lots of stuff in my throat , coughing and clearing my throat all night and this morning.:(

I did today's workout on bodyrocktv. It was about 35 min. and even though it wasn't as tough as the 500 rep workout, believe me, I still felt it !:eek: But it wasn't timed, so I didn't feel the breathlessness that I did with the other one.
That's enough for today.

I feel like it's going to be a long day , but at least it's Friday !

Gotta eat something.

bbl, Becky
 
Just got up from a short nap. Feeling a little less tired but still no appetite. Just more toast. :)

Katie, I'm glad you caught the running bug. I've always wanted it but my knee has always prevented me. But I have visions of it being super fun. Glad the scale is being kind. Good luck with your church hunt. Are you looking for a specific kind?

Kate, I hope Isabel does her recital. Annabel was in one when she was 3 and I thought for sure she wouldn't do it because she barely wanted to go to her class without me but for some reason, she loved the whole process and it was super cute.

Klaudia, isn't it sad how we have to schedule in the things that are most important to us? Life just takes off without us noticing! Glad you've been able to control your eats and your tea is helping. Always makes you feel a bit better...

Off to play princess yahtzee!
 
Becky, you snuck in on me. Sorry for your lack of sleep too! It's the worst. When I get better, I want to try those bodyrock workouts. Look pretty awesome. Ryan likes them too!
 
Klaudia, ^5 on clean eats! BullsEye has no HFCS either. Mike likes that one a lot.
Good planning on your nighttime tea
I like your planned dates. We try to do that but well,,,, it never works for us!:(:p
Mike suggested recital bribery too....but it has never worked in the past. We'll see.....

Becky, WTG on your WO!

Angie, Thanks for the encouragig recital story! Hope the same for us!
Have fun playing w/ your girls!

-
Jsut had a loooong overdue shower! When Ju wakes up we're heading off on a walk - need to burn some extra cals. Clothes are TIGHT!:mad:
Thinkig about ordering the Squeeze wo's per Nina's suggestion. Now.... squeeze original or squeeze stronger.....hmmmmmmmm Any opinions?
 
Hi Everyone!

I only have a few more hours left of my fast and then I can eat again. The surgery place is across from Cheesecake Factory and Chris suggested going there afterwards. Not sure I will be up for it but right now I think I could eat a cheesecake. I actually really want a glass of water more than food right now but that is out of the question too. No workout today - figured it would be too much with the fasting, surgery, etc.

This weekend we are going to visit my family for my mom's birthday. Then back on Sunday and Chris goes to Chicago for the week. So next week I can experiment with new recipes. I am hoping to go through my cookbooks tonight and find some things.

Nina, sorry about your accident. I had a friend who worked in FL and said the same thing about the drivers.
Wendy, did you ever get the brown rice recipe? Is it from the original eat clean cookbook? If not, I can post it this weekend for you.
Angie, sorry about the jet lag. Hopefully getting up earlier today will help you. Enjoy the new washer.
Katie, I have the coupon too. I am not sure when I will get a chance to go. Maybe Sunday afternoon.
Klaudia, I would love to join your challenge but I need to wait until after my mom's birthday. My aunt is making her famous chocolate cake. Good idea to schedule family time so life doesn't get in the way.
Kate, I have never tried squeeze. I was thinking of either getting squeeze or a barre workout but I am afraid I won't like it.
 
hey everyone! crazy craxzy morning - long run, blood work (routine) for me, playground, cleaning, and dentist for finn, aidan in tow. i am beat! at quiet time, after chores i will try the 500rep wo as is.

katie, i run 6 days a week, 60-65 miles a week. usually one long run(14-20+), a few 10-11 milers, a 5, and a 7-9. not advocating it;), but i love it. yes, dh would love it too if i did weights at night. i try to do everything in the am or a short extra at quiet time. great job shedding the water weight!! you are awesome.

angie, sorrry for the nausea, hope it gets better soon. hope the party rescehdule goes well.

klaudia, what a good idea for your family time and date time. we used to go out every 3 weeks in maine, have not made it a priority here, and we need to. great job with the wo.

becky, sorry for the lack of sleep - must be going around. i was up from 12-2 for no good reason.

colleen, thinking of you. maybe get cheesecake factory food to go.

kate, i just have the squeeze original. it is great. not sure the benifits of the other. fyi - i have not done the ub portions.

gotta go clean up more. cannot catch up today!
 
Colleen, Hope it goes good for you this afternoon!
And I like how Chris thinks!
Too bad you couldn't go w/ him on the business trip! Is he not a fan of new recipes?

Nina, Busy morning! Monday is dentistmax for us! Isabel goes in the morning, Gina in the afternoon.
Hope our bloodwork comes back normal!

-
Clean eats and a clean house too!
I think I'll go do some LB floor work.....
 
i love the 500 rep wo! it feels awesome. it is kind of strange, though, to me, to not have a classic "burn" in the bis and tris, if that makes sense. the hardest move for me was the last - the reverse plank with knee tucks. any tips, becky? i don't think it would make a good circuit with that many reps, so i am glad i did it as is. i was really proud to do every single pu on my toes with no breaks!

kate, do you floss your girls teeth? apparently i need to for finn. not sure it will go over well, and he does not have the fine motor to do it himself yet:confused:

i need some luck with fd this weekend - please send me strength to not get too involved, but to still be supportive.
 
Did I say floor work? I got distracted .....I'll do it tonight! I promise!

Good job w/ the WO, Nina!
Flossing - they do their own. We get these little floss-pick things that have little animals on them to hold onto. We actually use them too - I hate flossing w/ regular floss.....all that dangly srtring is annoying to me.
And may the FD not bother you a bit! Focus on your boys and try to just see the foolishness of it all. (((hugs)))
 
robin just posted this in thursdays thread...

Hey i am ok but both computer r down...Storm drama
using phone to ckeck in


----
 
dh's day off wednesday really threw me off, my eating, my wo's, JJs naps... i just was feeling so off game yesterday. woke up this morning with a MUST MOTIVATE attitude and so far, so good...

went to 9:30 group step and then walked a bit while JJ slept in the stroller. hit BRU with my mom and now home trying to get JJ down.

b - boiled egg, coffee
l - roast beef, swiss, dark rye, mustard
d - going out, probably asian fusion place around the corner.

ods is off to a youth group weekend retreat. mil is coming to play with the baby and she never wants to be here for an hour or so, must keep our "date" close by.

sorry no personals right now, JJ is still crying down the hall, nap is not going very well (actually not going at all). will tryto bbl for personals and post recipes.
 
Quick shout out to my peeps! It's been a busy day. I had an 87-year-old here for computer training (among others). She's the director at a library and does not want to retire. She did better than I thought she would, but it was stressful to me as the instructor b/c it held everybody else up. Oh, well, onward and upward.

I'm going to a movie tonight and then my friend from Chicago is visiting tomorrow. She wants to see my new place and then we're going out to brunch. Should be fun!

Hi Everyone!

My surgery went well. I am a little weak so I am just hanging out and watching tv. We did go to the cheesecake factory and I had chicken enchiladas. No very clean but I wanted some carbs. I figured I can work on getting my eating back on track this weekend.

Anne, have fun with your friend this weekend.
Nina, good luck flossing with Finn.
Wendy, good job trying to get back on track. Hope JJ finally got to sleep.
Kate, hope the storms clear out soon and your computers come back up.
 
colleen, glad you are done and okay. enchiladas sounds like a good cheat meal:D

wendy, stay strong! yea for motivation.

anne, that would totally stress me out too.

i. am. so. tired. dh had to go out tonight with work people, so i did not see him all day. luckily, kiddos finally are settled, i will follow to bed. eats were very very clean and tidy today. i need to work on cutting cals, i think, as my belly is feeling a little soft. also, i think my muscles are getting bulky:confused: i have gotten at least one comment everyday about working out - makes me uncomortable. anyways, hope you all have a good night.
 
Nina, what are the comments about your muscles or working out? I would DIE for comments on my muscles!!

Colleen, mmm enchiladas! Hope you are still doing ok!

Anne, have fun with your friend!

SUPER clean day, YAY ME!
