nina, what a start to your day/yr!
no major plans today - thank goodness!
Hope you have a great day!

--

Our financial planner says that the market over the course of the year typically follows what January does. Let's make that the case, fitness-wise! Let's have an awesome January, girls, and our year will be awesome too!

I'm going to do a great WO today and kick some butt!

HOW ABOUT YOU!!?!?!?!!?
 
from last night...

Becky, I don't have Walking Strong - I always mean to order it but never get around to it.

Clintonya, I'm a horrible runner!:D I'm slow & clumsy but my sister and I like to do it together. Works good 'cause we both suck!:p
Did you manage to stay up til midnight? Conked out by 11 here.
Good job w/ your WO & cals. Healthy fat is good tho!:)

Lisa, Steak & veggies sound great!
WTG on teh scale! Mine was particularly kind to me Monday - we'll see what next week rolls around. YUCK to being sick tho. I'm def sick of bugs floating around this house!
 
ugh....

Do you ever have those morning where every single person in your house is JUMPING on your last nerve??!?!?!? Well, I'm having one of those mornings. Yes, even my little Junie Bean is about to drive me over the edge. It has just been one spill after another, fam not wanting to help get breakfast on the table, dishes need to be done, etc, etc..... GRRR! And I wanted to start out so good today!!!!! Sometimes it seems liek the harder you try, the harder it gets.:confused: So I'm locking myself in my room to clean up in here. I'll be in a better mood soon. Maybe a solo trip to Meijer too.
 
Happy New Year !!!!!!

I didn't make it till midnight either..........about 11 here too.

I WILL workout today, not sure what yet, but I'll get in there and do it !

We are going to the mall this morning. It's the one day of the year DH doesn't mind going..........no one is there ! Everyone is sleeping in !!!!!!!!:p

This whole weekend we have been and will keep organizing and dejunking. Today the tree comes down !!!

Have a good one !!!

Becky
 
Happy New Year!

Last night I left work and came home and did KCM 30 min to muscle definition. It was a good workout for UB but the leg part was not that great. I might add on some legs today. I have not decided on my workout but I will do Core Cardio Circuit and either some leg workout on a MMA workout. I love doing a long workout on New Year's Day. I have a million things to get this done this weekend and I am not sure what I will do when. I need to clean out the extra bedroom so they can move our existing bed there when they deliver it on Friday. I also need to return some things from Cmas. Today PSU plays in a bowl game so I want to watch that. And do some reading. And get another set of sheets for our new bed.

Becky, yeah for the workout! I hope to make it to mall this am too but I need to get going.
Kate, ikwym about the harder you try... I hope the rest of the day gets better. Walking Strong looks appealing but I need to sort through my workouts.
Nina, this year the holidays were ho hum for me. I am not sure why. Good workout to start the new year.
Lisa, sorry about the stomach bug but I am glad you are better.
Clintonya, I have had the same problem this last week with food. Portions good but fat is too high. It will change for me starting today.

Off to get my workout in...
 
aaaahhhhhhh.......better! Got some house picked up and some nice playtime w. the girls!

Becky, Have fun this weekend!

Colleen, I like the sheets you got! very nice!
Have a great WO!

Baby in bed - time to get busy! Later gators!
 
I miss you all

Happy New Years Ladies.:D The Holidays is over and I'm so glad.

Nina let me know how the HITT goes. I'm thinking that I won't be able to do that workout...the right way because of my knee. I can do little hops but not jumps.:confused:

Kate I love your attitude!!! Last month I only w/o 12 times:eek:. So this month is kickbutt month. Sorry about your morning.Shopping always help me.

Becky great plans I need to dejunk..my whole house. First thing Christmas tree and deco. Then laundry and then...then...then. The good news is that I only work 3 days next week.:D
\
Colleen what do you think of the new Cathe series.
---------------------
I have off the next 4days. YAAAAY.

I plan to do the step workout today. Tomorrow circuit.

What kind of rotation will you all be doing this month.

I need to check out Cathe rotation.

My eats were crazy last month but I did not gain weight. So back on the wagon today.

bbl
 
Happy New Year Everyone!

Kate, yes I know those days well; take a couple of breaths :) Sounds good about focusing on having a good January and the rest of the year will follow! Yes, I did stay up way too late – about 1:30. As you see I am getting late start!

Nina, thx for the encouragement on the workout. Didn’t realize your dh wasn’t home for the holidays:( I saw he was military, was it hard on the kids or are they accustomed to it? I understand about the holidays been over!

Becky, have fun at the mall. We had started on that also working on fitting in a play set kind of thing for Jasmin. Then we got carried away and kept on cleaning and came up with 2 big bags of trash and 2 bags of clothes and other stuff we can donate.

Colleen, I am thinking about doing Cardio Core Circuit also. Sounds like a busy day!

Robin, the 4 days off sound great! Have fun! I was thinking of checking what Cathe is putting out for a rotation also. I have just been picking what I feel like doing. That is great about not gaining weight last month.

Hi to everyone else. I’ll be bbl.

Clintonya
 
anyone done any of the mma workouts? what is most intense? what is most fun? i wish i had a heavy bag, but, how much use would it actually get?? wish there was a good improve for it. grocery store done with boys as it is raining and we cannot go outside. i am getting kind of depressd actually - dh will be a bit delayed getting home:( i have gotten a bit snack happy this am, but hopefully it is out of my system. hiit coming up, and soup for afternoon snack and dinner.

clintonya, my kids are too little to be used to daddy gone, but i guess they are. you win the award for the latest one up i think.

kate, ikwym about the harder we try sometimes.... story of my morning. hope the day is rebounding.

colleen, nice day planned!

becky, feel like taking another trip to fla? i need help decluttering and dejunking!

robin, enjoy that time off, and how awesme your weight is no different!!

okay, i won't come back until my attitude adjusts.

ps - when is angie due back??
 
Hey
Clintonya that a great feeling to donate a lot of stuff. Is your daughter's name is Jasmin..my daughter's name is Jazlyn.

Nina I was going to do a new step w/o but now I want to do a MMA. I wanted to get a heavy bag also but Cathe and Amy Bento's heavy bag workouts are so short...now if they came out with a $100 heavy bag series. :rolleyes: Enjoy your HITT sorry about the blues.

I've cooked our New Years Hoppin John (spicy black eye peas and rice) No pork ..gotta keep it clean.

I was looking at youtube clips of the HIIT and I think that I can do the first 2...the last one, the one without the step looks a little too hard.

Workout was Core Cardio Circuit and most of the standing work of Butts and Guts. Core Cardio Circuit took my breathe away. I guess I am not over this cold yet. Shoveled what was left of the snow and made Ellie Krieger's Chicken & Mushroom enchiladas for lunch. Watching football now and then off to do something on my to do list.

Robin, yeah for 4 days off!!! I am glad you will be able to do some HiiT. I thought the SC would be more intense so I am a little disappointed.
Nina, I have only done MMA fusion and I think that is the most intense one. I have the same issue with the heavy bag too. I want one but the high cost doesn't justify the storage and that I won't use it everyday.
Kate, glad your day is getting better.
Clintonya, I am anxious for the January rotation too. I won't start until Monday but I want to see what it is.
 
Nina, I can only imagine how hard it must be to try to be up for your children while feeling down about him being gone. You sound like you do a good job at it though.

I do think Fusion is supposed to be harder.

Yes, I was up way too late, but was in the bed as of 12:00 but just kept watching tv for some reason:confused:

Robin, I did 30/30 and if I made it through, it must not be that bad :) It says that the pyramid one is the hardest I think. \My left knee can get pretty bad at points so I have to really watch it. I did quite a few of the new workouts in row and was starting to feel it, so the last few days have done workouts with no jumping.

Colleen, great job on Cardio Core Circuit, some of those moves are really hard for me. And shoveling the snow is an extra workout!

And yes, my youngest dd's name is Jasmin. I love your dd's name!

Clintonya, 1:30???!!?!?! WOW! I haven't seen that time of day since....well, only nursing and teen years come to mind!:p

Nina, NOt sure when A is coming back. I think her cruise will be wrapping up soon if not already
Sorry for the blahs...hang in there! You are a great mom and a terrific friend too!:D

Colleen, I've got some weird chest thing effecting my cardio capacity too. I'm HACKING thru my wo's and it's tickin' me off!:p

Eats are on track and will remain that way.

Hope everyone is having a great NYrs Day!
 
MMA-boxing done and I love the upper body boxing moves but did not care for the jumping part. Next time I'll subst the jumping with some squats :cool: The core section was great.

Hey colleen WOW what a workout.

Kate I'm with ya with the core work.

Clintonya thanks for the info on Hiit

BTW my DD is going for her 2nd driving lesson....:confused: in a car...Oh noooooooo
 
We just finished our good luck meal........Robin we had the same as you, spicy black eyed pea gumbo, I put in some chicken/spinach sausage in place of pork , made greens and corn bread but I didn't eat any corn bread !

Tree and decorations are DOWN and the house looks empty! :(
