Katie, do you miss starting our threads???
Morning gals!
Sorry I never came back yesterday. Our friends actually got back around 4 and then stayed through dinner. It was so nice to have some company and be social and just laugh. I needed it!
Thank you to all of you so much for listening to my little life issues. Thank you all for your support about me and Ryan. I know we just need to talk and be in constant communication. He's so insecure sometimes and I forget that because he puts on this "manly" front and I just don't think about him needing me. I know that our family is going to gain a lot of strength through this experience and come out of it closer. It's hard to see that now though!
Robin, I am planning a trip to a lingerie store (and yes there are plenty here) - I just wanted to lose a couple extra #s before I did that. I'm getting close to feeling more comfortable though. Great job with the kb stuff by the way!!
Anne, awesome job with Imax2! That's me today!
Those plie jacks will kill you. I might try to squeeze in a stretch max tonight too. That WO is such a killer. I am working hard to get 6 workouts in a week. I know it's not a huge accomplishment but I've never worked out 6 days a week for 3 weeks in a row so I'm really hoping to get through the whole month and see what kind of results I get.
Kate, (and really everyone who commented), I think I'm going to do Cathe's Jan rotation next month and that includes GS. I'll see what it does for me. I know I have to ignore the calorie burn but it's hard. Ryan was telling me that burning 500 calories is really nothing in relation to what I eat so I have to just focus more on the general good it does for my body.
Klaudia, ITA on information overload. That's what I have such a hard time with. I honestly don't want to look too muscular - I don't even want to be close to what Cathe looks like but I want definition.
Katie, here's what my test said:
Based on your answers to the Body Type Quiz,
As a Body Type E, your body has trouble building and maintaining lean muscle. Muscle is the primary component of your body that burns calories. The fact that your body has less lean muscle tissue means it can't burn as many calories. Plus, despite the fact that your overall metabolic rate is not as slow as several of the other body types, your metabolism is still not fast enough to keep you lean. The speed of your metabolism is the primary consideration in how your body gains or loses weight. The good news is: This plan will cause your body to gain and retain lean muscle and speed up your overall metabolism at the same time. By increasing your metabolic rate in two ways you can start shedding pounds and reshaping your body very quickly. Once you start eating according to your Custom Eating Plan, you'll begin to increase your metabolic rate and start losing pounds and inches faster than you ever thought possible.
So, what does this mean for me? (I'm obviously not going to join their program...) But how does it mean I should eat/wo? Sorry about your roast! That is so frustrating. I made one last night - it was just OK. Not anywhere near as tender as I wanted it to be. I can't seem to find tender meat here unless it's a filet.
Morris, thanks for the cyber hugs. I know I need to ask Ryan specifically what he needs - the problem is sometimes he doesn't know. He needs what all men need. Sometimes I wonder why God couldn't have created us a little more similarly in that aspect!! I am a total stress eater too - it's so frustrating. I can feel it coming on but can't really seem to do anything about it. This group helps me too! Sorry about the issues with your mom.
Klaudia, I think a Cathe X rotation could be interesting. I could tell that the X was really a good program when I was doing it but I just got SOOOOO bored with Tony. No fun. Especially the cardio.
Ok, so drop off went a little better this morning. Ellie cried all the way there but then when we got there I just started talking to her about how she'd play and what she'd do and then really fast her teacher would tell her I was there to pick her up. Whatever was going on in her little brain, I don't know, but it worked because I took her into her class and she didn't cry. So, that made it better.
End of novel. Must clean.
I'll be back later!!!
