We had such a great weekend! I have so much personals to catch up on!!!! YIKES!
The race was so fun! I was 20 sec slower than last year but I'm happy with my time (28 min & some change) considering I have hardly ran at all this summer. G&Is did great - Isabel did her mile in 9:08 and Gina was just over a minute longer. My little 6yo LOVES to run! It was hilarious running with her - she would see a kid ahead of her and run faster! She would hear someone coming up behind her nad run faster still! I guess she's a wee bit competitive....that child is me thru & thru....it's crazy!
Yesterday we had church & fam time....so nice.
Weekend WOs were 4 miles on Sat & Adv Step Challenge yday. I did a lot better on ASC than when I did it a cpl yrs ago. Looking fwd to doing it again.
Oh, and my lovely period is def back and showing no mercy. I was hoping for a cpl days of spotting - no such luck. Full force. Blah. My sister said "yay, you're a girl again!" LOL. She also said "Your arms are huge....in a good way!" Made my day!
I will try to get pics on FB today of all of our last week's activities.... Yeah, right you all say! ha! No plans during the day today - might hit the library to get us out of the house. Tonight we have a visitation to go to and the funeral is tmrw AM. A good friend's grandma died. No sadness tho....wonderful, god-fearing woman, went very quickly & peacefully. WO is GS chest & cardio.
Katie, I hope the beach is fantastic! Ours is in 2 wks & I can't wait!!!!
Becky, Hope DH didn't have to wok too mch this weekend! How are the POOL plans coming along?!?!?
Angie, What's up in France? How are the girls?
Robin, You going to the gym today? When does the new job start?
Julie, We are sleep-time nursers too. If I am home Ju will NOT permit M to put her to sleep! It has to be mama and there has to be nursing! Do you guys have a "name" for it? We call it woobas...long story!
Klaudia, You had a full weekend! Glad its MOnday?! I'm excited for DZoo next week!
Nina, What's on for you & the boys today? Is your mom behaving? How's DH doing w/ his bad news?
Wendy, Your BL results are uh-mazing! BE SO PROUD OF YOURSELF! You rocked it!!!!
Clintonya, Did you have a good mix of relaxing & productivity this weekend? Hope so!!!
Colleen, CONGRATS on finsihing Insanity again! Did you take pics so you can get a tshirt?????
Anne, How are your parents doing? Everything patched up w/ TCB?
LISA!!!!!! Wherefore art thou? Pop in to say hello & tell us your lil belly is growing!!!!
I think I got everybody!!! closing this novel.....

Good Morning Girls !
I agree. Boo to Monday!
Just back from our walk . Dh tried to weigh himself this morning and I guess our scale is broken, so we gotta get a new one.
Kate, you ran a great race! Glad you had fun too. Impressive personals !!!!
I think it's Bodymax 2 cardio premix for me today.

Morning girls,
I'm here. Busy weekend. Spent Saturday in Belgium. I took the girls to see TS3 with the other moms and kids and the husbands went to a beer festival in Antwerp. It was a fun day but we didn't get home until almost 11. Then yesterday we celebrated Father's Day (we belated it b/c it was on the same day as Ellie's bday) and had the girls' end of the year school party. So, busy days, no workouts. Eats weren't horrible but not where I want them to be. Next weekend will be worse. We have our same friends from Belgium and their families coming here for a concert weekend. Friday night is Black Eyed Peas and Saturday is Pearl Jam. It should be fun but I'm not crazy about one of the families' kids so it will take a little bit of patience on my part!
Kate, wtg on your run! I'm so glad you had a fun time. And YAY on the arm compliment. That's awesome. Sorry about TTOM. Time for another baby!
Katie, your FB pics of the beach are awesome. That looks so relaxing. It makes me want to plan an OBX vaca with my fam some day. Where would we fly into? What's the closest airport?
Becky, sorry DH had to work Sat. IT has been super hot here too - especially with no AC. I almost wish it would rain. You're doing awesome with FF's rotation!
Julie, I can totally relate on the starve/binge pattern. It's horrible! I do so well for 5-6 days and then freak out. Have to figure out a fix for that. Your youngest is 2! I love 2 year olds. Will you have more?
Wendy, fun for an impromptu road trip. Sorry about the bad mood. Way to keep rocking your WOs. That weight has to be falling off you.
Anne, the ball game sounds fun. I miss US stuff like that. Sorry about your Dad and pneumonia! And yeah, how are things with TCB?
Nina, hope you enjoyed your alone time. What's dh's bad news?
Klaudia, what a fun weekend. I love girls' nights!
Clintonya, sounds like you're busy as usual. The giveme10 series sounds interesting.
Robin, does your gym have classes that you can go to? Hope the new job is awesome for you!
Colleen, I'm so impressed with your rotation dedication. You definitely should send in for the tshirt!
Well, I went to the doc for my lump this AM. They want me to have a mamo and a sono so we'll get that planned. I'll be happy when it's over. If they want it removed, I have a feeling I'll have it done in the States. Not sure I want to deal with a surgery here.
Have a great day all!

Oh, I forgot to say that I did Drill Max this morning. Wowza. That one always kills me. That last drill- I can do the cardio but then those lunges/explosive lunges, then the core push ups just kill me. I think I could muster through it at the beginning of that work out but 65 min... boy oh boy!
Morning Becky! Enjoy BM2 cardio!

Nina, #4.......sigh.....I'm happy w/ my 3 for now but not ruling it out down the road. I like the little bit of freedom I have right now to be able to do things like Warrior Dash.
Nice job on your WO
AND YAY DH!!!! Can't wait to hear more news!
Becky, I just want a new scale to read a different #, but I don't think that's gonna happen!
Fun WO! Did you do all of the WU?!
Angie, Busy days for you but so fun!
ACK!!! Those concerts would be great fun! BEP is my ultimate music for pump-me-up running!
Thanks for the tata update. I've been thinking about you.... (((hugs)) Hope they find its nothing to worry about!

Sorry I missed you Nina! YAY for DH. That's great news. I'm not sure when I'll have the mamo/sono done. The office is closed today so we need to call tomorrow to schedule it. I'll keep you all posted. I'm more annoyed than anything.
Kate, I totally think you should have another baby. You make such cute ones. Plus, you have great pgs and deliveries! And I LOVE LOVE LOVE BEP for pump me up music too!

Morning
Kate I'm glad you had a good time with your family at the race. Not sure about the new job but I will call human resources today.
Nina ^5s on the job interview. That is good news!
Becky sorry about the scale and body max 2 good idea.
Angie no planet fitness only have body building classes. I'll be praying for you and I hope it's nothing serious. everytime I see the word Belgium I think of dark chocolate and it makes me smile.
Nina I think you put it on the stove and boil water. Sometimes the hot water will losen it up. Is it cast iron pan?
today I think I may do a kickboxing/core workout plus some lunges, and squats.

Nina, Spray oven cleaner on it and wrap it in a garbage bag. Put it in the sun for a couple hours. Take it out and hose it down! Good as new!
Angie, Thanks for the vote of confidence on #4! You glas would be the first to know! BEP was what I mostly listened to for the 5K this weekend. And some Soulja Boy, Missy Elliot, etc....so bad, so good. I sing while I run so I dont think abt my breathing. I'm sure I offended more than one person along the way! LOL!

Morning!
Day one of dance recital week is in the books-only 3 more to go! The girls did well-no tears or misbehaving and we were there til 10! And that's after walking in a parade in the heat for over an hour! Today should go much quicker-no blocking, etc. I'm going to be trying out my new workouts today-weights I think. I previewed the kb one-looks pretty good.
Kate, I'm worse than you about uploading pics! You are fast, girl!! We might hit the library too, I need books for up north I can't wait til next week either!
Nina, congrats to dh!! It's nice to actually be sleepless due to excitement and not stress! Enjoy the pool! As for the pan-I do what Robin does or I put a dryer sheet in it and add hot water and let it sit for a few hours-that softens up the bits and then you can scrub it off.
Becky, I did BM2 the other day-whew! It did go by pretty quick though-for 97 minutes!
Angie, wasn't TS3 great? We loved it! Those concerts sound fab! Good luck on the OPK-my gf came to the parade with us and watching her kids wore me out! And I'm thinking about you too-hugs.
Robin, have a good workout! I need to start doing more kb-love it!

Good Morning Everyone!
Still not 100% yet but I trudged through GS C&T this morning. I was supposed to run too but it was 80 degrees at 6:00 am and I still dehydrated from my stomach thing even though I drank a ton of water yesterday.
Nina, that is exciting about DH and the job. I hope the interview goes well.
Angie, I hope you can get you mamo appt soon. I am thinking of you.
Becky, love BM2 cardio premix!!! Enjoy.
Kate, I am glad you had a nice weekend with the family. Sorry that you could not ease into your TTOM.
Robin, I never thought of Belgium and chocolate. That's a nice thought for a Monday. Enjoy your kickbox class.
Klaudia, I can't wait to hear what you think of KCM. Just a few more days until your vacation.
Katie, your OBX pictures are great. I hope you are relaxing in the pool.

Morning everyone!
I'm way behind. So much news from everyone.
I was up the whooooole night w/my little one (fever and vomiting). He's doing better now so hoping it's gone.
Was hoping to start a rotation today, but not sure I have the energy. May do slight cardio to pick me up. Becky, sorry I didn't get back to you. Thanks for the response yday. Decided to do FF's rotation also.
In case you are interested in reading, my success story is featured today. Don't know how to post a link. That's my sweet baby I'm holding. When I opened it up he pointed and with delight said, "Baby"!
BBL to catch up.
In the meantime, Angie, I'll be keeping you in my prayers.
