CLEAN.IT.UP.MONDAY.FUNDAY

Morning girls,

We actually stayed in bed this AM and didn't get up to do insanity. The last week and we skip it. Ryan's back has really been bothering him the past few days so we wanted to give it a break and we were both just tired. So, our last week will start tomorrow, finish next Monday with the fit test (since there is no rest day this week). Then I will take a rest day on Tuesday and we'll be off to the States on Wednesday. Just in the nick of time!

I plan to do some sort of step this afternoon though. I'm going out with my friend Rebekah this morning so it won't get done then.

Eats this weekend were somewhat dreadful. I don't know what my deal was. We even stopped at the burger joint after church yesterday. I was feeling SUPER homesick and didn't feel like going home and trying to figure out something "healthy" to eat. I just wanted to go to a friend's house, eat chili, and watch football. :( I didn't totally overdo it though - small chicken sandwich, fries, and split some ic with ryan. Don't fee gross today but cals were DEFINITELY too high. Today/this week will be better. It has to be. This is my last week - need to see results. Ryan has lost 12 pounds! I've lost 2. :)

Anyway, real quick from the weekend:

Katie, I LOVE the house. I hope it works out. Have a nice day at home.

Kate, happy birthday little sweet baby!! I can't believe it's been a year! Sorry about Mike - tell him about Ryan's success.

Nina, I'm not a huge fan of any of the recovery videos. They're ok - I've just done them too much. My faves are the plyo ones. Enjoy snuggle time with dh!

Anne, welcome back. So glad you had a great time!

Lisa, thanks for the recipe, sounds yum!

Colleen, do you have today off too? How was Fridays? I miss that place. Thanks for the recipe.

Robin, good luck with meso 2. Do your kids have school today?

Wendy, I agree with Kate - 2 miles is good! Can't wait to see your bathroom results! :)

OK, gotta get dressed and ready to go. Have a great day all!
 
Good Morning !

Morning ladies! No work for me today -- HOORAY!

Chris just came downstairs and told me that - SURPRISE - he took the day off work so he will be home with me today.

Re: The House.... We went by there yesterday, and the neighbors were outside so we stopped and I got out to talk to them and ask them if it was okay to walk around the house. Turns out the next door neighbor is my eye doctor - she has a very nice young family with 3 young kids around Collin's age. The house is on a cul-de-sac and she tells me that everyone is very friendly and quiet.

But here is the kicker - the back yard is HORRID. Maybe I'm being a bit dramatic, but basically the yard is very high on both sides, and a deep rut in the middle. I am sure that water would collect there and get into the basement after a heavy rain. Ugghhh. It's an absolute deal-breaker:(
 
good morning!

katie, sorry about the yard. that is a deal breaker. are there any hters for sale there? enjoy your day off with dh. when does colin come back?

kate, happy b-day julia!! i too do not know where the year has gone. my very good friend from maine had a baby last week, her tird girl. i have total and complete baby lust. hummm, is there a 3rd in my future?;)

becky, good morning. enjoy imax 2. i love that one. i need to do that blast premix soon.

angie, hugs to you. i know exactly what you mean about that homesick feeling. i feel it so much these days esp when i see fall leaves or hills or anything that reminds me on maine. all you can do is carry on. i think a chick sandwich is a minor hiccup for all you were feeling. how long will you be stateside? thanks for the tip on the recovery wo. what about the core balance one?

this am i did pur cardio and cardio and abs. it was nice but short. kiddos woke with a few minutes to go, and dh did not get in until 2am! so, hope to get a run in later. i am not sure what to do with my wos. i think since dh is home for 1 more week i will focus on running, then go back to insanity next week. i love the length of the wos, the intensity. i have done all of them except the recovery and core and balance and look forward to doing them again. they have motivated me to really clean up my eats, and my bdy is responding. no complaints!

goals today - enjoy. every. moment. with. my. kids. and dh.
keep eats clean and TIDY
get a little alone time;)

biab
 
Happy Birthday Julia. she is one already:eek:
I can't wait to see the pics.

Katie run for the hills. Take it from me if you see a problem with a house before you buy it, it mean mega $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ who knows how long that problem has been there. It could be the pipes underneath the house $$$$$$$$$$$$$. Not worth it.

Becky have you tried writting down everything you eat? So here is your kicks LLLLLLL in the pants;)

Angie don't feel bad about the extra cal this weekend, just tidy it up and you'll be fine.

Nina I glad to read you seem like you are feeling upbeat today.

---------
My chest has major DOMS and triceps minor doms. I took it easy on my shoulders because I remember how the % of weight jumps up during meso 2.

Thanks for the bday wishes for J-bird! Still need to load the pics - this afternoon, I promise!

Katie, Enjoy your day with your hubby! I would love that!
Sorry for the house deal-breaker. What a bummer!:(

Nina, Insanity has motivated my eating too! Cheats are NOT worth it when you're working that hard!
Can I ditto your goals?
Baby lust - ahhhhh! We still haven;t ruled out #4.:eek:

Robin, cute kicks in the pants!:p:D
HOORAY DOMS!!!!

-
Quiet day at home for us. I need it after our every-minute-planned weekend!:eek:
 
Happy Monday:)

Girls are off to school and I'm trying to get back in the swing of things after a crummy couple of weeks. My hypo kicked into overdrive and combined with pms it was awful. I'm feeling better finally-maybe the meds have started working their magic? Now I need to get back on the clean eating, working out wagon that I totally fell off of. Not sure what to start with-something short and not too tough, I think.

Angie, have fun with your friend! My neighbor got me out shopping and out for dessert Friday night-it felt so good to be doing something. Your indulgence doesn't sound too bad at all. Don't look at how much you've lost-go by your loose pants! Great job:)

Becky, have a good workout!

Katie, so jealous of your day with Chris! I so need some quality one on one time with Darrin. Sorry about the house. We'd love to move, but it's not looking likely for a while-terrible market for sellers here.

Nina, are you doing Insanity? Nice! Baby lust, huh? That's one thing I don't have anymore:)

Robin, I can't wait to feel some DOMS-it's been way too long!

Kate, give that sweet girl a big birthday kiss from me!:) Enjoy your quiet day!
 
Thanks for the KICK, Robin ! I needed it ! Hopefully I am back on track now.
Imax2 and planks/core from RSS is done !
I made one of the pancakes that Patti put on FB and yummmmmm it's good !!! Great comfort food for fall ! :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JULIA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Time goes too quickly !!!

Gotta run !

Becky
 
Klaudia welcome back and I'm glad you are feeling better.

Becky you are welcome for the kick.:)

Eating oatmeal now.
 
Happy Birthday, Julia!
Please give her a snuggle from me. I can't wait to see the pics. Any news on the trip to Mexico?

Becky, great work out. Isn't IMAX2 fun? It's my favorite, by far.

Klaudia, {{{{HUGS}}}} I'm glad to hear you're feeling a bit better. Maybe we should meet this weekend for some girl time. I don't think I'm heading to my parents, but I could drive to Brighton or Livonia.

Robin, do you take anything for DOMS? I almost never do, but I hear aspirin helps.

Nina, sorry for the homesickness. It takes time to feel comfortable/fit in to a new place. At least you have kiddos--I swear that makes it easier to make friends.

Katie, sorry about the house, but water is the one thing you definitely don't want to deal with. It's the only thing that can ruin a foundation. (Well, okay, probably an earthquake could, too, but you don't have to worry about those, right?)

Hi, Angie, how long will you be in the States? I bet you're looking forward to it. Will you be here for Halloween?

Hi, Colleen! Who else did I miss?

Back to the grind for me. I was promised my new iMac would be here when I returned from vacation, but alas it is not. And no one has told me anything about it. I guess I'll have to ask. Hopefully soon...

Hey girls,

Quick check in. Today is going better. Ate lunch at friend's house and she made ww pasta with veggies but I ate too much. Got LIC cardio only blast in and it was a great sweat and fun. I missed Cathe. My agility has improved so much and I kicked a$$ on the blasts!!

Gotta shower and go pick up girls but I'll be back for personals later. Prob after kids are in bed. The sun is out today. I'm doing much better!
 
Breakfast: protein pancake & green tea
lunch: bean burrito with greek yogurt, salsa & brown rice on a fiber wrap and a huge honeycrisp apple, green tea
snack : I think I'll fix a blueberry/banana smoothie
dinner:not sure yet, a salad or oatmeal
 
ahh, becky, how i love oatmeal for dinner!

klaudia, welcome back. how is your energy level these days? fall used to sap my energy in maine with the short daylight.

angie, great wo! i hope ryan's back feels better!

anne, is it back to work today? i get overwhelmed by new computers.

robin, you are the appointed a@#$! kicker today:p

told dh i needed personal time when he finally woke. boys were being so naughty. anyways, i went to the gym and ran a quick hilly 7 miles. showered and home and they are all sleeping. lentils and spinach and a huge apple for lunch (okay, and 1 mini peppermint patty):eek:. perhaps a nap with me or some time with my book. biab
 
goooood afternoon!

Thanks for Julia's birthday wishes! She and I celebrated after lunch w/ a few dark choc m&ms!:eek::eek::p:D Squeaky clean other than that!

Becky, I'm itching to make those pancakes too! Look great!
You've got some awesome eats today! How do you make your smoothies?

Robin, Somehow I've learned to like oatmeal:confused:. I actually love it but not made the conventional way - too gloppy sloppy that way!:p

Anne, Nice to see you! Glad you had a good vacation! You deserve it for sure!
Boo to no computer yet!

Angie, WTG ON THE WO!!!!! I bet that felt awesome!

Nina, Glad you got your gym time! I hate that feeling of being annoyed w/ your kids - I need to work on that! Big time!
Enjoy your QT this afternoon! I still want to make those banana muffins!:D
 
Happy Birthday Julia!! You are too adorable!

Hello CT ladies! What a weekend. I'm pooped. Determined to eat clean and tidy all week. Yesterday was much better eating wise than Saturday. I was so tired by the end of both days from running around. Today is Fit Test and I'm going to do some ub weights. Kind of interested to see how much I improved over two weeks.

Angie - Don't sweat the weekend and just get back on track this week.
Kate - A year sure goes by fast doesn't it?
Nina - Yay for getting in extra time at the gym. Peppermint patties are hardly a cheat.
Robin - Yay for doms. Haven't lifted that hard in awhile since doing Insanity.
Klaudia - I'm glad you're feeling much better. You'll be in the groove of working out and eating right before you know it.
Anne - Hope you get your iMac soon!
Becky - I've had an up and down battle with the eating ever since football/cheerleading season started with my kids so I hear you.

Okay, off to do my fitness test. Kashi cereal or oatmeal for bfast. Not sure which. String cheese and almonds for snack. Gotta figure out lunch since I will be heading to work. Keep me on track ladies, I need it!

Lisa
 
Lisa, You ARE on track w/ that workout and healthy breakfast! Keep the momentum going!!!
A year has gone by WAY too fast! ****sob!**** I just may need one more newborn to pacify those urges!:p
We do our 2nd fit test Thursday. Can I just say right now how much I HATE-LOATHE-DETEST pushup jacks?!??!?! My chest can do it, it's my SHOULDERS that can't take all that! Hopefully I can do at least ONE more!:p
