^^^^clean-it-up-for-STS-tuesday^^^^

Well, I did it. Rhythmic Step done. 435 cals burned (even though I know most of you don't care :)) It was just OK. I really do like that WO and of all of my choices for today, it couldn't have been a better one but I just still feel lousy.

Pictures of my cats seem to be popping up over and over on my screen saver today and I just miss them (even though I don't miss cleaning up the cat hair). I got an email from our pastor in AZ with a slideshow of pics from their 2 year anniversary celebration this past weekend. Just makes me think, WTH are we doing?!?! I really DO appreciate all of your encouragement and I don't want you to think I'm super stubborn and don't care, but Anne, I think you're right. I just need to have a crappy day.

Robin, thanks for the energy vibes! :)

Klaudia, wtg witht he 35# dumbbells! Keep it up! I hope STS gives you that umph that you are looking for. That's cool that Darrin is doing it with you.

Anne, I'm going to try to live vicariously through you on your vacation. Is that OK? :)

Kate, I love bath crayons! Such a great invention!

Ok, had a shower and a snack of pistachios. I know it's not the best, but believe me, it's far better than anything else in our house! :) We have NO fruit. I'm not sure that's EVER happened here. :)

Time to get dressed and go get Annabel. Thanks for being good friends.

Hi Everyone!

I have no idea when my STS is coming. I think I used my old email address which DH shut off in December so I guess it will show up when it shows up. I don't have the original email with my order # because I lost that when my hard drive crashed.

It has been snowing here since 5:30 this morning but they haven't closed anything yet. Tomorrow is supposed to be the really bad day since we will have sleet when we wake up.

Katie, enjoy your snow day at home. Let us know when you get STS.
Angie, I agree just have a crappy day. It will make you enjoy the good days so much more. Good job on RS.
Anne, I am jealous because you are going somewhere warm. I am tired of getting into a cold car.
Klaudia, ^5 on the 35# dumbbells! I am hoping STS gives me a little umph too.
Robin, take care of your knee - you will to be in top shape for STS.
Kate, I can't believe you have to take Julia to get her birth certificate.

w/o was ASC 2 - Combos 1-4 & powerups (I hate combo 5)
b: oatmeal w/ almonds
s: 1/2 clif bar
l: turkey cutlet
s: banana, mixed veggies
d: tbd
 
Colleen do your like ASC 2 more than ASC 3. I think it took me alot longer to get ASC 2 so it's more fun.

Angie we care (((hugs))). Why do you feel so down.

Anne I know that you are counting the hours until vacation

Klaudia wow 35# for one arm rows excellent!

Morris where are ya. I hope everything is ok.

My DD wanted me to come to her school so that she can drop one class and pick up another in her g.councilor office. IS SHE CRAZY:eek: Don't she know that I'm waiting for the STS delivery.:mad: she will wait until tomorrow. It's not going to kill her to have an extra day of drama class.
 
angie, happy crappy day!:D
thats an ambitious wo - esp for a crappy day! ^5 to you!
and i thinkpistachios are a perfect snack! dds will eat them as long as i sit and crack them!

colleen, you ordered right away didnt you? im sure youll get it this week.
eat your nacks/drink your water!:)
i need to work on asc2.....

robin, rofl at your daughters class!!! you always make me lol!

--------
there was another family at the county that had a home birth too! it was so cool to talk to her!

a.m. snack was triscuits on the road.
not sure on lunch yet - waiting for miss piggy to finish eating!:p
 
I ended up going in to work for a few hours and when I guess what, STS WAS ON MY DOORSTEP!! So excited I can't even think straight!!
 
urgg - sorry to be mia. crazy busy. i had school conference this am, walk dog, groceries, music class, lunch, now nurse, then hopefully some weight work! thanks for asking about my mom. she is okay, but i do not think she is following directions. she is up and about but should be resting more. what can i do?

angie, i understand grumpy days - i think it must be especially hard with no people to talk to there. and the cat stuff is steressful. vent here, keep working out, and enjoy your family as best you can.

kate, how cool to meet another home biorth mom!!

robin, sorry your knee is acting up. your workout plan looks good. very funny about drama class.

colleen, do you do public transportation? be careful out there.

katie, glad you are home safe. that is awsesome you have sts alreaady. and great wrokout!

anne, i am so excited for you and your vacation. do you and dh like to sightsee or just veg out on the beach?

klaudia, enjoy a workout today. i wish dh would work out with me, but then, i guess i like my quiet time too. how about doing boot camp today?

i did an 8 mil run and abs early this am. i feel so thick today, and i am not sure why. oh well. good motivation to keep it clean.

klaudia, can you post the sc oats in crock pot recipe again? thanks!
 
Morris, you got a ton done today! And a workout, too?! Great job! I hope your mom heals quickly so you have one less thing to worry about.

The steel cut oats recipe: In crockpot combine 1 cup scoats with 5 cups water. Add 1-2 sliced apples (I use Fuji), generous amount of cinnamon, and 1 tsp. vanilla. Cook on low, overnight. Yum! I tried 1/2 scoats and 1/2 quinoa, too. Not bad:)
 
You're welcome:) Just be sure to put it on as late as you can. I think 8 hours cook time, at the most. Otherwise it may scorch the bottom.
 
Hey, guys (or, whatever!), have you tried the frozen steel cut oats from Trader Joe's? I picked some up this weekend, but I haven't tried them yet. Maybe for dinner tonight. I don't have Trader Joe's around here, but that's one of the good things about going to MIL's--there's one near her house.

I hope you ALL live vicariously through me while I'm on vacation! I will definitely be sending sunshine and warmth vibes to all of you. We're going to do one day of sightseeing to the ruins at Tulum, but otherwise we're going to veg out on the beach. Reading and snorkeling are the two highest priority items. And maybe some indoor happy fun time, if you know what I mean, wink!

Klaudia, thanks for posting the recipe.

Morris, glad to hear your mom is doing okay. It's frustrating when the don't listen, isn't it?

Katie, I can't wait to hear all about STS! I'm very envious.

Kate, when are you going to start STS?

Colleen, I hope you get yours this week.

Robin, is yours there yet?

Angie, how was dinner time? I hope tomorrow is a better day for you.

BBL

anne
 
Anne yes I will live vicariously through u if you show us some pics.

Katie guest what :(I'm not going to get STS until tomorrow...it's still in Virginia....are you sure you did not open MY sTS;)

Klaudia can your freeze little servings steel cut oats?
 
Just got done with my workout. I ended up doing Step and Intervals and the abs from CTX KB. I'm nice and tired:) Lunch was a tuna caesar salad and a clementine. Now if only Darrin would get home so we can have some coffee.

Anne, I cannot wait for your vaction:) It sounds exactly like my ideal vacation;)

Robin, I've never frozen it. I just eat it for the week-it makes about 4-5 servings. Maybe try freezing one portion and see what happens.

Gotta think of something to do with my breasts.



My CHICKEN breasts!;) Any ideas?
 
Sorry ladies, I posted and then went to bed!:p

In the box that contains STS is each mesocycle packaged separately, and then there are two regular DVD cases (abs circuits and meso 3 squat rack stuff). Also, the users guide is in the box, and this is really impressive. It goes through each individual disc and tells you what exercises you are doing, what equipment you need, and what % of your 1RM you need.

Okay, Collin is begging me to go sledding, bbl....
 
oh brother! mike called and says he has "the cold and the flu"!:rolleyes: i think hes got a good old man cold!:p
maybe i'll take dds out to dinner. im sorry but i cant stand to be home when hes sick. i dont get hlf the coddling he gets AND i have to do e'thingi normally do. boy, i hope he goes to work tomorrow!:D

morris, you busy mama! yikes! need a nap?!

klaudia, i need to try thatrecipe....
lol on your breasts!!!! mybe chicken tacos? are your breasts feelin' spicy???!!!!! or maybe saucy?!
darrin gearing up for plowmax?

anne, i want a vacation!!!!! wah!:(:p
we are beach bums on vacation!
i wouldnt think the oats would freeze well. i think it woul turn out very mushy. but then again, if you like em mushy it would be a good thing!

katie, sounds great! are you going to do 1rms?
have fun sledding!
 
I just threw the chicken in the crockpot with bbq sauce, a little Italian dressing, worcestershire sauce, and some brown sugar. I'll make some roasted potatoes and something green.

Kate-go out! Men are worse than kids when they're sick! We're supposed to get 3-6 inches overnight:( Such is life.
 
kl - we'll come to your hpuse for dinner!
ill bring cupcakes!:eek::p

ooooh, i hope we get snow too......as in 2HOUR DELAY!!!!!
PUH-LEASE WEATHERMAN!
 
Just wanted to say goodnight. My night improved when Ryan got home... somehow it always does. Thanks to all of you for being my support system today. :)

XOXO
 
Goodnight Angie! Glad things got better.

Hey Kate-guess what my neighbor just dropped off? Cupcakes!!
