Oh, one more day until it's Friday! Who's singing it with me???

Just wanted to check in and say I did Hi/Lo KO this morning, just combos 1&2 and then abs and 100 push up challenge. I'm going slow with this - only on day 4 and up to 15 consecutive (i'm SUPER bad at them) but a total of 63 today so I'm getting closer to Cathe's 72! :)

I love hi/lo ko. It took me FOREVER to figure out the kick ball change seg of combo 1. I seriously spent my whole workout on Saturday going over and over it. I could not figure it out - the rhythm, the movement, nothing. Finally have it and it seems really easy but for whatever reason it was stumping me and I would NOT let it master me! :) Anyway, once I get going with that WO I know it's going to be a total sweatfest and in the meantime, I'm in a rut just learning it.

I was going to take MIL to bruges today but the weather is junk so I'm guessing we'll just stick around here. That's fine by me. I have some school work to get done before we leave for Dublin tomorrow morning.

Kate, I hope you can figure out a good WO time. How will you wo right after dinner if you just ate? Will you eat later?

Colleen, are you enjoying insanity and weights or is a dread factor? I hope your day was relaxing yesterday!

Anne, so happy for you with your rowing and TCB. What a difference I see in you over the last six months! :)

Robin, sorry for your WO buddy and her inconsistency and lack of effort. That is no fun! Way to keep it up though!

Nina, are you ready for that move? Sorry about the hormone screaming!

Wendy, I've been a lackluster poster lately too - it happens to all of us - way to keep kicking those WOs!

Katie, so sorry for your Chris issues. I wouldn't know how to handle that. Hopefully you guys got some time to talk yesterday. I'm so glad to hear you are feeling up to your WOs and sleeping well!

Klaudia, sorry about Darrin! I'm so thankful my husband has no work issues when he gets home... we all have our issues though. He's always doing something new with his computer that causes him to be off in his own world! The dress is cute... what's it for? I missed that.

Clintonya, what's new with you??

Lisa, how's that little bean growing?

Ok, super sweaty me needs a shower. Have a great day all!
 
Morning Angie! Glad to hear that you will get some "down time" before leaving tomorrow, and I'm sure it made you feel good to workout. 15 cons push ups is good! My push ups are suffering right now....

Kate, I just read what you wrote last night about potatoes. I *love* to take baking potatoes and microwave or bake them for awhile so they are starting to get soft, then cut them length-wise into wedges, brush on some oil and sprinkle with favorite seasonings, are grill on low for a few minutes each side. YUM!

Klaudia, the dress is cute! What's it for? I missed that too - not that you need a reason ;)

Nina, how is the packing going?

Robin, your workout yesterday seems great! I think your gym buddy may get the hint!

Colleen, I am so jealous that you have the option to work from home sometimes. In theory I think I would love that, but I'm not sure I would really get as much done...

Wendy, workouts sound fun! Next weigh-in is.....tomorrow? Make today count!

Anne, that's great that you are going to get together with an old friend this weekend!
 
Good Morning Girls !

It's so beautiful this morning ! I'm shutting off the a/c and throwing doors & windows open !

Leg day.....one of the STS workouts that I am enjoying so much again. :)

Kate, the potatoes done that way sound wonderful. I have to admit, I haven't tried potatoes......we do mushrooms, zucchini, tomatoes, corn, peppers, onions, .....stuff like that. But now I'm going to try potatoes too !!!

Dh & I went out and bought him some new jeans, in a smaller size !!!
He doesn't carry on like I WOULD if I were in the process of losing all that weight, but I can tell he's really pleased . :)

bbl.......
 
Angie, I REEEALLY need to pull out that WO! WTG on the pushups! 15 would be a feat for me! I think they are my biggest weakness. I can do chest presses til the cows come home but I loathe pushups! I should do the challenge too!
FOr my WO I'll just eat a light dinner & hopefully call it good. I dont get too bothered by WO w. food in my belly unless I've stuffed myself. Guess this will be a good way to make sure I dont overeat at dinner, huh?!:D

Katie, ITs' Friday EVE! One more day!:D:D
ROFL! We are amazing! That's EXACTLY what I did with my potats! They were so good! I can't wait to do it again!

BEcky, Same weather here.....:D
Have a great WO!
Now I need to grill some kebabs too!:D
WTG DH!!!!

-
No plans for the daytime today. But tonight we are goign out! Can't leave til I get Ju down (8PM) but its better than nothing. Not sure what we'll do.... its too late for dinner & most stores wont be open long. Maybe shopping then ice cream.:eek:

Our 1st day of summer vaca went great yday - heres hoping today is just as good!
 
Waaahhhhh!! I am jealous of you mamas at home with all your babies for the summer!

I did 30 minute walk/jog on the treadmill. The scale says I am retaining water, so I need to be super careful today, drink lots of water, and maybe walk some more tonight.

Kate, that's funny about the potatoes. Maybe I will grill tonight....
Becky, I know your DH is so proud of himself and you are proud of him!

Off to work.... :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
 
Morning!

Going out to breakfast in a bit with the moms from school as a last hurrah before school's out tomorrow:) I should watch what I get since I had a brownie frozen custard last night in solidarity with Danica who had a bad day. The lady we carpool with for dance was upset with her fror running late, then she called me to see why Danica was quiet and didn't say bye or thanks (Danica says she did), that maybe I should start driving, blah. But then says she'll pick up, calls me at 8 to tell me her daughter called cause she was done but Danica was still in class. I said ok, could you just ask her when she'll be done, we'll come get her and the mom tells me she's already in the car!! Danica got out of class looking for her friend and another mom told her they had left! She called me sobbing, poor baby. They couldn't wait an extra 10 minutes cause her daughter wants to get home and watch tv before bed! I'm still steamed this morning! We aren't going to carpool anymore that's for sure. Anyway, got LL done last night so that's good:) Today we're going to the park for lunch with some friends. My workout will be LIC upper body and maybe some cardio.

Angie, great job on the push up challenge! I wish I liked Hi/Lo-not a fan. It feels too jumpy for me. The dress is just because:) You're right about us all having issues and i know I need to not get so mad, but man, sometimes...

Kate, yay for date night!! Shopping and ice cream sounds awesome! Have fun!

Katie, good workout! All this talk of potatoes is making me want to make them for dinner tonight!

Becky, congrats to your dh!
 
Klaudia, Poor Danica! That's shameful that a grown woman would treat your DD that way! She def deserved that IC treat w/ mom!
Good job on LL!

Katie, Hope work goes fast and you can get to YOUR baby ASAP!
and OF COURSE you're retaining water - you are pregnant, my dear!:p I know blood volume increases dramatically and I would imagine water goes up too.
 
good morning. iam so glad i got up and exercised . this next week is going to be so so cray, i really need to make myself get up and do it, kwim?

klaudia, you are not alone with issues. sometimes dh comes home and hides behind the paper. i am always busy with the kids and would love 10 min to relax, but... and i know it is tiring to work all day, but for me, after a day of work, i just want to be with my kids. so sorry for danica last night. ditch that carpool!!

katie, you sound fabulous! i am glad it is thursday too, but friday is looming - i need it over.

kate, have fun tonight. date night is awesome. we are going to try to do it more regularly.

becky, enjoy your leg wo. i need to do some leg stuff later.

so i ran 6 miles and did ccc. need to do some leg stuff later. eats went really well yday, and i think today will be easier as the hormones are dying down. bbiab
 
Klaudia- ugh at carpool mom , yay for mom & daughter ice cream :)
Hi Nina !!

Just did Pure Barre for my leg workout today . WOO HOOO !!!
 
Good morning everyone!

I was exhausted this morning but I managed to do a 2 mile run followed by Max Cardio Conditioning. Great sweaty workout this morning. Feeling better now - just stuffy.

Becky, way to rock your leg workout.
Klaudia, that mom is mean. If her daughter was tired of waiting, why didn't she call you on a nondance night to discuss. I hope Danica is doing better today.
Nina, I hate the craziness of moving and I am glad you can get your workouts in now.
Katie, you get a lot done when you work from home because you don't have all the interruptions at work. Sorry about the bloat.
Angie, I am dreading it because I haven't been feeling well but I always feel better after it is done. WTG on the pushups and have fun in Dublin!
Wendy, glad you are enjoying being with DH. Sorry for the craziness but it sounds like it has been good.
Anne, that's great you are going to catch up with an old friend and exercise at the same time. Are you sore from rowing?
 
hi ladies! heading to the gym for pump and then a pilates reformer session, we get one free as part of the challenge. just had my smoothie and now i've got to get us dresses and out the door!

later!!
 
OMG! Things just went from bad to worse! I called carpool mom to tell her we wouldn't be carpooling so Dancia wouldn't be rushed and she wouldn't have to worry about being late. And then I told her Danica was crying when she came out of class and that's when the proverbial s@%$ hit the fan! She was like it's not her problem my kid was still dancing and that she should've apologized for not saying thank you and being rude and I told her that I had sent Darrin up there (out of his way) to talk to her and that she was going to but she wasn't there after class for her to do it and frankly, after what she did, Danica didn't owe her an apology anyway. I'm shaking, I'm so mad right now. I told her all she had to do was let them know in the office or tell one of the other moms that they were leaving and Danica would need a ride home from someone else. How would she have felt if I had left her kid up there?! She's the adult, Danica is 10, for crying out loud! I cannot believe this! I haven't had an arguement or lost an adult friendship ever! But she was on the attack! As soon as I sad Danica was crying she lit into me!!
Ok, I'm sorry to burden you guys with this drama but I"m sitting here crying and can't believe what happened. I've been friends with this woman fro almost 7 years! I feel so sad and hurt.
 
((( Klaudia! ))) That just plain sucks - no other words for it.... Danica gets ice cream again tonight too!
 
Yikes! 4:58 already? Klaudia, {{{HUGS}}} I'm so sorry!

Off to row again tonight and I have plans with my good friend for Saturday morning. Yay!

Sorry for the lack of personals I will do better at some point tomorrow. Mwah!
