Hi guys!!!

I am back from my mini-vacation. I've been gone since Tuesday with no internet connection. It was actually kind of nice.

My eating was really clean and hardly any snacking. DF doesn't really have anything to snack on, so that was good. I got home this morning and my weight was actually down a bit. Although, I haven't worked out since Tuesday. I spent about 4 hours cleaning DF's house yesterday. Maybe I can count that as a workout! ;)

I hope everyone else is doing well.
 
I would say that you can count cleaning for 4 hours a workout! Wow, wanna come over to my house?:)

Yesterdays dinner ended up being pretty good I guess. We did enjoy some nice wine, and I had a piece of sourdough bread with a tiny bit of butter. But the rest of the meal was terrific. I ordered the grilled salmon and broccoli-ended up eating just a bit of that too, took the rest home to my dog:7 So not perfect, but I watched the portions so it was okay.

Today will be Kashi Lean this am, lots and lots of water for sure, we are having heat warnings here, its like 5 million degrees}(

The rest of the day will be broccoli, Ezekiel pita pockets and tuna, maybe some egg whites too.

Workout today-yesterday I actually fit in Cathes X-press Kickbox, and then used her upper body split and did shoulders, bi's and back, so that was good. Today will be cardio and the Squeeze tonight.:)
 
What is it about men??? If they do clean, it's just a "surface clean" and not a good cleaning. Upon appearance, you wouldn't think it would have taken me four hours to clean DF's house, but it did! Lots of dusting, straightening, mopping, scrubbing...ugh! I hope he keeps it nice. Since he's hardly ever there, it shouldn't be that difficult. We usually spend most of our time here.

Tneah, I heard about the enormously high temperatures you guys are having. I feel badly for all the people who have to work outside! So...aren't you LOVING the Kashi with chocolate soy milk??? I am addicted!!!
 
Congrats on the cleaning. My poor house is so far overdue it would take 2 days to give it the attention it deserves. But when all is said and done my girls will remember that we played together not that they watched a movie while I cleaned.

Well, after 3 days of company hopefully I did alright. There were some not so clean moments but overall it wasn't horrible.

B - not so clean.
l - salsa and veggies

For dinner we'll be at my SIL's. She's grilling kebabs so hopefully I can load up on veggies and no one will examine what's on my plate! You know, I never say to them " WOAH, that's a lot of saturated fat you've got there!" so why do they feel so compelled to comment on MY food?

Robin, I loved the comment about wishing you didn't like to bake. I'm in the same boat. More like yacht. More like fleet. I used to be able to resist it so easily. What happened?

Laura - THANK YOU FOR THE GRANOLA BAR RECIPE! I can't wait to make it. It was so nice to have the option to turn it into cereal!

To all of you who have posted about Kashi Go Lean....my all time favorite cereal. Give me that over Lucky Charms any day.

As much as I'd love to work out tonight I fear it's not gonna happen. I am so exhausted from staying up late w/ company. If I don't get some serious sleep I'm going to get sick. Then I won't be able to work out for a long time.

I was so excited to see all the Blog updates! I can't wait to do the new workouts.

Well, it's good to be back. Good luck to everyone who follows!
 
Yes I am addicted to the Kashi Lean and the chocolate soy (lowfat of course!) It is strangely filling and satisfying, never happens with regular cold cereal, I feel like I could down the whole dang box!:)

My DH empties the dishwasher and makes the bed in the am, so that is great, but when he gets into the kitchen, he makes such a mess all over the counters, he "picks" all day long and there is always food remnants all over the countertops! His office is such mess too-they say creative types leave messes in their wake all the time, so I forgive him...sigh.

The temps are murderous here, really. It is unbelievable when I see tourists trekking up and down the strip, at the airport yesterday, the temps in my car registered a cool 120!}( You basically a prisoner in your air conditioned home all summer here. It starts getting pleasant in October--like I said, someone please remind me why we moved here??:) Have a great weekend:7
 
It's good to be back on the forum after a couple of days away. I'm glad everyone's doing well with the clean eating. I have been doing okay--not terrible, but not super clean, either. Today I did Step Blast--still love that workout! I first tried to Imax 3, which I just got in the mail, but I'm having problems with plantar fasciitis and all the impact and twists were bothering my foot, so I switched to SB. How long did it take you to master Imax 3? It seems really tough! Anyway, today was wheat toast and oatmeal for breakfast, a grilled chicken and veggie wrap plus fruit for lunch. Dinner will be honey-mustard chicken, broccoli-stuffed potatoes, salad, etc.. Hope you all have a good Friday!
Valerie:)
 
I got IMAX3 a while ago and have only done it once straight through. I just couldn't get into it. Other people love it. I am sure I will take it out again sometime. Just not a favorite of mine.
 
Hello everyone!
I'm off work today, cleanmax, windowmax, me on a tall ladder bad idea max!
Lorie, i see you posted on the open forum about Ripped workouts. I love them, i have them all except the first one. I try to do one/week. they are very different, go lighter the first time, you may surprised!!
Today i did legs and glutes for the first time, but did the floor part of B&G. I usually do cardio, but i'm wiped, painted on top of cleanmax!!
Sounds like everyone is doing so well!
I have followed my squeaky pattern so far, but going out tonight. DH has a new band, first show, there will be booze!! Might have to have a drink, havent had a drink since January!!! Now that's crazy!
BBL

Howdy tidy eaters!

I only have time for a quick drive by as my SO is taking me out to dinner for my Bday, which is technically Sunday but this is the only chance we're going to get on account of horse shows all this weekend. My eating has been great the last two days, although I am making an allowance for tonight but I won't go crazy. I've even been able to squeak in some great workouts. This morning was SJP/SB step and weights circuit (68 min)...FUN!!!

Robin - black caps are the mini blackberries that grow wild around here. Maybe the name is a local thing :p. We'll be up to our ears in them for the next three weeks. Thank goodness the deer haven't found our bushes yet :7.

I'll see everyone tomorrow night, hopefully with excellent news on my pony (the kid who is looking to buy her is going to show her tomorrow...oh, she better be good x( ).

Have a good one,
 
I got on to read what has been posted since I was on earlier.

Just wanted to say Happy Clean Eating for the weekend!

We were at my SIL's for dinner. Thank goodness she's a horrible cook!:p :p :p Kept my eating in check!

See you tomorrow!
