Morning girls,

Off to do some shopping this morning.

Max Recovery - holy planks! It was tough but still made me feel strong.

I'll be back later!

Have a great day everyone!
 
Angie, have a great time shopping!! Yesterday you asked about mineral makeup - I use www.everydayminerals.com and I LOVE the stuff. Not sure about the shipping to France though... Most days I wear some mineral powder and some mascara, maybe some lip gloss. I really like Everyday Minerals more than anything I've ever tried!

Nina, I think the idea of volunteering is a great one - I know it will not help with the finances, but it may very well help land you the perfect job down the line. Do you still have the option of working with that one vet in November after her baby is born?

Klaudia, I am jealous of your "You're in great shape!" comment! I would be blushing too! Enjoy it!

Robin, I've never been to a Tasefully Simply party - what kind of stuff do they sell?

Kate, are you starting STS over again? When is Julia's birthday - I know it's in October but can't remember when.

Becky, which smoothie did you pick? Both sounded delicious!!
 
(If you have ever wondered why I post multiple times, it is because my beloved laptop has a tendency to mysterious delete my many lines of writing on occassion, so I'm trying to avoid that. It kind of makes me angry!)

Yesterday was ANOTHER crazy day, and I was going into it with a sleep deficit which did not help. I had a Dr. appt (check-up) before work, and I specifically told the nurse that I did NOT want to know my weight. But then later on in the appointment, I "accidentally" (meaning ON PURPOSE) glanced at the sheet and saw it, and was SEETHING for the rest of the day (as some of you noticed on FB). How could I be running so damn much and GAIN WEIGHT. I swear, my eating has been squeaky for 10 days (today will be 11!) so I really don't know what gives...

After that happened, I really wanted to just say screw it and go eat some Mexican food for dinner. But I didn't. I held it together and had a very clean day.

Off to run a few miles - I think it's 3.5 on my schedule, and i'll do intervals. BBL!
 
Angie, I've grown to love planks. Did I just say that outloud?!?!?

Katie, Good job yesterday! Not easy when you're mad at the scale. Maybe you haven't gained that weight tho - maybe your scale is diff then your drs.:confused:
Her bday is OCt 12. Comin' right up!:eek: She is soooo close to walking. She'll do a few steps at a time then she gets too excited and dives for me.:D I love her!
I don't know if I'm restarting STS or not.:p I just felt like doing it yesterday. I'll do all of Week 1 this week and see what I feel like next week!:p I hated all those pushups and by the end I was subbing in xhest presses.:D

-
CLEANEATS TODAY!!!! MUST GET RID OF BELLY FLAB!!!!! My arms are better than ever and my legs are hard as rocks. BUt the belly must go!

Gina has an ortho appt today. Girl has NOT stopped sucking her thumb!:mad::mad::mad: So I'm sure he's going to say braces. Cha-ching!

WO will be cardio - not sure what!
 
Have a great day at work, Robin!

CS Hip Flexibility done! Who wants to do chores?!! Not me!:p

b - oatmeal & fruit
l - turkey on Arnold Thin, carrots
s - Honeycrisp, peanuts
d - chicken, potato, carrots, onion in crockpot (white bread for the fam, not me.)

What do you gals think of SunChips? Now, I know it's not PURE CE, but .... they are so good and not too bad for you! I think I want some at lunch today!:confused::confused::confused::confused: I buy them for Gina's lunches and they look so good right now! Be totally honest! If you wouldn't go near them w/ a 10' pole TELL ME!!!!
 
Back from preschool drop off. It's such a crazy rush here on T/Th that I don't have time to check-in before school. Anyway-no workout yesterday:( Couldn't take the class cause Darrin had to work late, then my parents were here and we had dinner-marinated pork tenderloin, sauteed zucchini, and pasta. We let Danica make break and bakes cause she had a rough day at school-all of her friends were chosen to be school bankers and she wasn't. It broke my heart:( And today she's trying out for student council-ugh. So I'll be heading down to do legs after breakfast-oatmeal,yogurt, and fruit.

Angie, happy shopping! I "heart" planks!

Katie, it was nice to hear from a fitness professional instead of just people who don't work out at all, ya know? Great job on not caving to the Mexican. I hate the doctor scale-it's always more than what I weigh at home-in my skivvies, first thing in the morning. So don't put too much stock in the number, ok?

Kate, can you give me your legs, please?! I just sent out evites for the girls party-way easier than mailing them! And I'm being "green", right? We'll be paying for braces sometime soon too-Danica's teeth, according to a 4 year old we know, are "jacked up"! I love Sun Chips!! But I did see they are in the "Eat This, Not That" book as a "not". Baked Lays were his rec.

Hi Robin!
 
morning! breakfast was 3/4c lf cott cheese with 4 strawberries and handful of pecans, plus coffee/skim/sug. last night was not a clean dinner. i had no water on and off most of the afternoon/eve and couldnt cook so we ordered in. dh chose since hes doing all the work...of course it was greasy subs! i did pick most of the stuff out of the huge sub roll so theres that. on to a better day today. that choc/coffee/pb shake mentioned looks fab! will have to try it one morning.

angie, enjoy your insanity! boy, that sounds silly =) woohoo shopping!! i love to shop but only when im my "right" size so no shopping right now, that will be my treat when goal is met!

katie, that stinks about seeing your wt at the dr. but agree with kate your scale might be diff, i know mine is. also dont forget as women we naturally fluctuate more than men due to our monthly hormone cycles. and the # doesnt matter! its how you feel and how your clothes fit! but easy for me to say. i obsess to.

kate, hope gina does not need braces but if she does, get them asap! we were pretty broke when they said ods needed them so we held off. now hes begging at almost 16 because he hates his teeth. poor guy, they are so self conscious at his age, i feel like such a bad mama =( told him yes this fall/winter and now need to find someone who takes our ins. you have great eats planned!

robin, and everyone else, have a great day!
 
kl, hope you can try the class next wk.
sorry abt danica! i hope today is better for her. Were you able to avoid the cookie monster?
I'll look for Baked Lays....grumble.......:p
 
Wendy, Sorry about dinner last night. I love some bread but I agree - big subs are too much. Sounds like you rebounded well this morning!:)
ITA on the braces - We def don't want her to get self-conscious about her teeth so we'll fork it over now. We have an ortho we know well (DH does his plumbing) so I trust him to do what's right for her and not just scam our $ away. Hope you guys find a dr you like.

Angie, What are you shopping for?:D
 
klaudia, i missed you in there! work those legs!!

i also neglected to mention JJ is feeling under the weather the last day so going to dr this afternoon. that means no gym today. just got women health ultimate fat burn from the lib so maybe ill try that. its a cardio/wts circuit. im also waiting for tosca renos book from the lib... looked at a while ago but you ladies are inspiring me to look again!

someone asked what JJ stands for -- he is johnathan jr, daddys little guy =)
 
kate, i forgot your dh was a plumber! mine is in the bthrm right now with our plumber... hes doing a lot of the work himself but there are some things you dont mess with! i hrt the plumber for making sure everything is just right!!
 
Hi Everyone!

Busy day yesterday and then the last 2 nights I have been doing CTX UB work in the evenings just to reacquaint my body to weights again. This morning's workout was the same as Angie's - Max Recovery and a 20 minute run. I'll do the same workout as Angie tomorrow then an easier workout on Saturday. Next week will be tough because there is no recovery workout.

Kate, I stay away from Sun Chips but I don't remember why. I need to look at the label again.
Katie, I have had the doctor's scale be really off for me. Sometimes the weight was really low and sometimes a little high.
Lisa, sorry about all the stress - hope today is better.
Angie, I must in some strange insanity haze because I didn't think the planks were that bad. Maybe I just getting used to being on my hands or elbows.
Klaudia, sorry you couldn't make it to the fitness class last night but what a great compliment. Are there any T/Th morning classes you can go to?
Nina, maybe the relief work will lead to something permanent. At least you will get your foot in the door.
Robin, long day for you. hope it goes by fast.
Wendy, is your water back on? DH always picks bad food but I try to find something clean.
 
Hey girls,

I've had a weird day. I went shopping for various things. I needed groceries, a few kitchen items (scissors, spatulas), library bags for the kids, underwear for Ryan (he can't stand boxers with all the jumping in insanity... TMI?:eek:) and I actually went to Sephora where a very nice girl tested Bare Minerals on me and I bought the "try it" package. I've had it on all day and my face just feels soft and I like it. We'll see if I can make it look the same.

I got home and was exhausted. I crawled in bed and slept for about 10 minutes but then just stayed there listening to The Time Traveler's Wife. Ryan and I bought the mp3 audio book for our drive to England and we only got about 1/3 of the way through. Interesting story. Would like to see the movie.

Katie, I'm so sorry about the scale at the doctor. I would have been annoyed just like you. I have been trying so hard to stay away from the scale. I know it "lies" and I have to tell myself that the number doesn't matter. How did you find everyday minerals? Looks exactly the same. Is it significantly cheaper? Have you tried BM?

Kate, I don't mind planks - I'm actually decent at them. It's just that my shoulders really start to hurt with all the work he does in them. Plus, he did tons of push ups again and my triceps were killing me from something a couple of days ago that I just couldn't muster the strength! Sorry about sun chips but I LOVE and MISS baked lays. Probably good though - I could eat a whole bag. Especially the cheddar something or other ones.

Robin, have a good day at work.

Klaudia, that's so sad about Danica. I am not looking forward to stuff like that. Personally, I don't deal well with disappointment and I know seeing it happen to my kids is just going to break my heart. I hope she has a better day. And ^5 on the in shape compliment! Those are the best. I have a hard time believing them though.

(Interlude... neighbor cat just came into my house... so weird... I miss my kitties though and it's a nice visit. She's a loud cat and has "conversations with me and I pet her.)

Wendy, I don't clothes shop a lot here. I've bought a handful of things but the prices are so crazy and I can't not think about the exchange rate so I do most of my shopping in the US. Sorry about greasy subs... Jimmy Johns would have been yummy!

Colleen, I'm thinking of throwing some weight work in next week too. My ub is so sore this week that it's not even an option but I know it will go away. I am already dreading the last week with no rest day or recovery. EEK.

Hi to Anne and Lisa, Patti and Steph, Jennifer and Nina!

Off to pick up the girls soon.
 
eeek! we;'re 3rd from the bottom!:eek::eek::eek::p

wendy, yeah, plumbing isnt something you want to cobble thru!:p:p
i think tr is a taaad nutty, but its good for motivation!

colleen, ive never done the wts from ctx:eek:. am i missing a gem?

angie, youve had a great day!
will you guys get kitties back in the usa?

-
i had a half-serving of sunchips w/ lunch. :eek::eek: they are sooo good, blast it!:p:eek::eek:
 
Where my girls at today?!?!?
:D:D:D:D

I did 35 min of Steady State Step then finished up with Step Blast challenge.
I would love for Cathe to use more recognizable music. SBCh music is fun and I do like most of her music, but why can Amy and Tracey use recognizable music but Cathe can't? There are some DVDs (BodyBlast comes to mind) where Cathe uses rec music. Why not more?? I know they say cost... but if TS can afford it I would think Cathe could? Not complaining, just wondering....

Lookin' forward to my Honeycrisp in a bit! :cool:
 
Finishing up work stuff....computer issues...grrrr. Going to do Insanity then be back. Seriously regretting signing dd up for cheerleading. Eugh. Anyway, be back ladies!

Lisa
 
Hey girls! Just came back from a walk-a-thon meeting at my friend's house. She made lunch for Nevena:) I got Legs and Glutes done before I left to pick Nevena up. My butt's gonna be on fire tomorrow! Lunch was clean-turkey and cheese sandwich on ww w/tomato and mustard and some bell pepper strips. Hoping Nevena takes a nap so I can chill with my new Women's Health and make some phone calls.

Wendy, my husband would eat like that everyday! We don't get subs too often-cause we're always having sandwiches for lunch. Hope JJ's feeling better.

Angie, glad you like the makeup. I love The Time Traveler's Wife and am leery of seing the movie-don't want the image in my head ruined.

Kate, I'm having a honeycrisp later too! L&G has lots of good music-definitely helps!
