*!*!*!**CLEAN.is.the.only.option.FRIDAY**!*!*!*

Ladies, let me tell you - if it wasn't already obvious from all of my bitching and moaning these past few days/weeks - I NEED A BREAK FROM MY DAMN JOB!

I need a few days off like you wouldn't believe! I earned enough comp time this week to leave at noon today, and Monday is Columbus Day (gotta love the random court holidays!) so I am working only 8 am to noon, then I AM OFF UNTIL TUESDAY!

:D:D:D

I am going to do my HIIT/interval tm workout this morning. My mom is coming this evening, and we are going to the pumpkin patch (either today or tomorrow, depending on weather).

I'll check back in a few!
 
from last night:
Wendy, Ju's bday isn't til Monday - you're not late!:)
I haven't made that BBQ sauce but I meant to all summer! Don't be hesitant tho - I've NEVER had ANYTHING come out bad from them!

today!

Katie, I'm glad you get a long weekend! MIke is itching for some extra time off work, but they don't close for Columbus! We were talking baout going away overnight for my bday next weekend but there's just too much going on.
Hope you have a fun weekend w/ your mom! The PP sounds fun - I want to go but again THERE IS NO TIME!:mad:
Have a great run!

WO tonight is ......Insanity but I dont remember which!
b - oatmeal, blueberries
l - enchilada/salad (the last of them! - finally!)
s - GF granola & apple
d - pizza & veggies @ inlaws (will keep pizza in check!)

I posted a pic of my girlies yesterday of anyone is interested and missed it!:D

Lots of housework today and also meeting w/ Builderman again. We are definitely not starting htis project in 2009. I don't want the side of my house ripped off when it's snowing!:eek:
 
YaaaY It's Friday:D

Boy do I need a long stretch but work this morning. I should be home by 1:30. My kids have off today but have to go to school on Monday. CRAZY.

Kate I hear ya on the house redo. Plus the holidays are right around the corner.

Katie enjoy pumpkin patch.

Tomorrow we are going downtown rocky mount for a festival. Next weekend the state fair comes.

Next week I start Meso 2 :D:D bring on the tri sets.

good morning everyone. i slept in:eek::eek: so no tm for me this am. i need to wo during quiet time later. i. will. get.it.done. not sure if i will do another insanity or a tm run.

good morning katie, so very glad today is short for you and you have a 3 day weekend. i love the pumpkin patch (even better when it is not 90 plus degrees). have fun!

hi kate. it isn't that the diamond jumps are too difficult, i just don't like how they feel. i like plie jacks much better (a la imax 3). just one of those moves that feels awkward but not fun. maybe i will try your wo from yday. not sure yet.

eats were totally fine yday despite eating more in the am. i am going to really try to keep it clean today, esp with dh gone. it is just harder to mroivate myself to get up to the tm.:eek: ah well. no more whining. back in a few
 
Robin, That's weird abt their days off!:confused:
Fun weekends ahead for you!
TriSets - Love to hate em!:D

Nina, Good for you for sleeping in!
LOVE the burn from Plie jacks!
Have fun w/ the boys today.....and keep those eats clean! I am so motivated for clean eating w/ doing Insanity. Cause there is no way I'm putting myself thru that torture to not see results!!!!:D
 
hey robin, sorry i missed you. what will the kids do today while you work? funny, but there is a rocky mount where my in laws live in virginia too. sounds like fun. i think we may go to the beach this, if i can brave it with the 2 little guys.
 
Okay, full disclosure here ! I lost it with the eating in the afternoon:eek: and I'm not gonna talk specifics....but it got UGLY !!!!!!:(:(

I love the title CLEAN is the ONLY option and will try, try, TRY to go by it today ! Clean Slate and all that !!!

Today is supposed to be Imax1, NOT a favorite, but I'll either force myself to do it or find another step workout.

Robin, are you in NC ? I have a friend who lives in Rocky Mount .

Hi to everyone !

I'm off to workout !

Becky
 
Hey

Yes I live in Rocky mount NC and I live far away from the beach.

Nina don't feel bad yday the manager wanted to thank us for meeting our quota so he brought 4 dz crispy cremes and orange juice:rolleyes:. What's wrong with apples and bananas?
 
robin, that just says it all about the obesity epidemic, doesn't it? so how far are you from the beach?

hi becky. sorry for the rough day y-day. i am totally following kate's motto (she is my idol;)) - no ruining results. if you don't like imax 1, why not do imax 3? i LOVE the blast only premix. may have to do that today. ahhhs o many choices.

okay, this is why i rarely skip am wos - i obsess for the rest of the day when/if i can fit it in. i miss my endorphins. okay. no more obsessing. i just will do something at the boys quiet time.
 
nina, LOL! you're MY idol!
oh, how I would love to go tot the beach. We were waiting for Gina's bus w/ umbrellas and heavy sweatshirts!

Robin, Boooo to KK and OJ!

Becky, CLEAN SLATE! I really like Imax1 - at least I think I do! It's been a while!:p

MY CONFESSION - I had a mini pancake w/ NO syrup. Isabel's been beggin gfor them so I made some. It was fluffy and delicious!
 
LOL @ confessions ! :)

I am very proud that I did Imax1 ! and Very glad it's done !! ha ha!

Now , I get a protein pancake and green tea .
 
Hey girls,

It's late in the day here. I don't know why I didn't post earlier this morning. I went walking again this morning with one of the moms (Helene) which was nice - it was cold though.

Girls were home at lunch, normal stuff. I'm glad it's Friday. I miss my husband. I really wish we were going on a date tonight. I just want to get out with him.

WO this am was max interval circuit. This WO definitely has a dread factor for me. I can't pinpoint it but it's just really hard. Either way, it's done and I'm thankful I only have to do it one more time!

Got a pork roast in the crock pot for dinner and I'm going to make sp fries! YAY! I'm going to use the recipe in Clean Eating... does anyone have a better one? Wish me luck.

Katie, I'm so glad you're getting a long weekend. I'm jealous! I hope you get some much needed rest.

Kate, pancakes are tough to resist when you're cooking them. I don't even need the syrup - they're a treat all by themselves. How's your DOMS from insanity? Ours lasted about a week and then it was just slight random soreness.

Nina, I hear you on regretting not getting an AM workout. It's really starting to be a habit for me and yesterday I told Ryan I was going to sleep in because I was up with Ellie and I would just do my WO later. But then I couldn't get back to sleep because I just kept thinking about how I didn't want to do it later so I got up. I've never done that before. :)

Robin, I hate KK! Ryan loves them. I think they're gross. I agree with nina about the obesity issue.

Becky, WTG with Imax 1! It's a toughie! I'm excited to do all those WOs again. :)

OK, going to do some bible study before I have to get the girls instead of waste time on the internet...

We've decided to leave a few days earlier for our trip to the US so now we're leaving on Oct 21. It's coming fast! EEK!

Have a great day girls!
 
Good Morning Everyone!

Yesterday I had a full day of meetings and interview at 4:30. I really far behind at work but my interview went well. The guy is going to Spain for the next couple of weeks but he will contact me toward the end of Oct. if the contract comes through. This morning's workout was HISM because I am not a big fan of Imax 1 either.

This is my complaint of the week - I live in MD but close to VA who is having a governor's race. If I have to watch one more stupid political ad, I am going to scream.

Becky, I am proud of you for braving Imax 1. I wanted my first step workout in a couple of months to be fun so I did HISM.
Kate, I love your motto - you need to eat clean so you don't ruin your results. I will keep that in mind.
Katie, enjoy your extra long weekend. I don't have Monday off but took a day off just to take a break from work.
Nina, I obsess when I don't get my workout in first thing. I am always worried I will be too tired or hungry to do it at the end of the day.
Robin, I need a long stretch too. Maybe I can squeeze one in tonight.

b: oatmeal w/ almonds
s: banana
l: probably grilled chicken salad
s: blueberries & yogurt
d: pizza night
 
now i am thinking i need to try max interval cardio today:eek: but really i want to run, but i suck at running if it is not first thing in the am. hmmm

angie, you should be proud for your am efforts for sure. i made the lentil portion of the chick and lentils this am and they are soooooo delicious. aidan loves them. i keep sneaking bites:eek: not so tidy, but i know i cannot eat lunch before i try to wo. what a nice thing to go for a walk with a friend. i would melt.

kate, it was so hot at the beach, but so nice too. i love the ocean.

colleen, great am wo. glad i am not the only neurotic one:p i hope you get good work news.

okay, lunch for my boys, then i will not be back until i can report a wo.
 
no workout yet, but i am getting there.

becky, great job doing a dread wo!

kate, did you make the muffins you posted the other day? i want to know how they come out before i decide if i am making them:eek:
 
Nina, I havent made the muffins yet - I was thinking today but prob tmrw now.
Now, go get that WO!!:D

Colleen, I hate political ads too. Always makes me glad we don't have a TV so I dont have to see them!:p
Hope the interview works out foryou!
HISM sounds fun!

Angie, A cold walk is better than a melty one!:D Glad you had fun!
Ditto what you said about Friday and Hubby.
When I make sp fries I cut them into strips, drizzle on a little olive oil and toss them w/ kosher salt, black pepper, and um, brown sugar.:D I think I bake them at 450 for 20-30 minutes. Does that help? Probably not!
*Raises hand for random soreness!* Mike gets DOMS in his LB but I htink it's just bec he's not used to workoing that way
Enjoy your bible study! Where are you reading? We started reading recently about the creation w/ the girls again. they love it.:)

ok, I must go be productive too.... ah, I love a quiet house on a rainy day!
 
G'night girls.

Nina, did you get that wo in? Glad you liked the lentils!

Kate, I'm studying a variety of things right now. I'm doing Revelation, a Beth Moore study on Daniel, and I listen to a bunch of podcasts. It's good to keep me busy!

Colleen, what's HISM? I'm drawing a blank.

Just got Cathe's email about her downloads and SHOCK CARDIO FILMING!!! YAYAYAYAYAY!

See y'all tomorrow!
