Happy Tuesday y'all!

After a few crazy days off, I'm back in action.

Just finished a power walk home from dropping off the girls and then tacked on :)eek::eek::eek::eek:) BM2! 850 calories baby!

Gotta shower and eat... BBL w/personals... I'm SOOOO behind!

Keep it clean and tidy!

Goodness gracious, Angie! You are back with a vengance! Talk about a comeback! I live BM2, absolutely great workout. By the way, I had a lot of fun looking thru your pictures on FB last night! When do you fly out, Friday? And how long will you be in Chicago?

Yesterday was very very clean. I had a blueberry muffin with my am snack (i'd call it tidy, but not clean) and a piece of chocolate covered popcorn that got shoved in my face by a co-worker yesterday afternoon. And I did get my workout in last night -- Disk 21 biceps and AC no-equip abs. But I think I pulled a muscle in my oblique:eek: I am so proud of myself for the weight I lifted last night. I didn't have the increments that my workout called for, so I did 34 - 36 - 40 - 34 - 36 - 40 for the double wave load for curls. WO this morning will be an intereval run/walk.

Kate, I hope Gina does better today and you make it to the store!
Klaudia, you dinner last night sounds good!
Morris, exciting news about the house! Keep us posted!
Robin, you are the most popular girl on FB!
Anne, how did Alexa do yesterday? Did you have a crazy work day?
Colleen, hooray for getting back a few hours in your day! How are you feeling about your job lately?
Lisa, yes I have a TM at home. GS Legs is one of my favorites -- how do your legs feel today?
 
good morning! i am so excited/anxious for today. please let these people buy our house!

angie, what a great wo (s). i love bm 2.

katie, great wt lifting! you should be proud. have fun running this am. and great eats.

welll, i got up early, cleaned the house, did gs bis 2x's, and i matched or exceeded cathe both times. after taking the kids to school i will run before i have to go into work. should be a good day! bbl
 
Morris, *fingers crossed* for an offer! Have fun with your run!
Kate, ^5 on the am workout. What cardio did you do?

4 mile interval run done, showered, and off to work soon :rolleyes: :p See y'all later!
 
Yes the FD is over my crazy family have gone back to NY.:D Kids are back in school. It's going to be a good day.

Angie you are the Queen Calorie Killer. You Go Sista!!

Katie Great w/o for 2 days I hope you did not pull anything. funny story about FD, I sign up for it last year and never used it. I just started using it on last Friday. Another addiction.

Morris it feel great to match or top Cathe weights. I think in sTS she turns her DB weights so that we can't see what she is lifting.

w/o today Ellip with cardio coach
b-egg whites or oatmeal
l- left over spegetti
s-nuts and apple
d-baked chicken and ??
 
Hey all, I'm having a really quiet afternoon. Finished my WO around 11, showered, ate (egg whites/toast/raisins) and watched the biggest loser from last week - Tara is my hero! I can't believe her... she's a power house! Oh, and I'm never eating another cupcake again - 520 calories!! Are you kidding me?

So, I have spent the last hour or so reading the posts from y'day and the weekend and watching friends. I've decided to watch all the episodes from the beginning. So, I just have one on during housework and such... I miss friends. :)

So, I was supposed to pick up my car today but it's France and therefore everything takes twice as long as necessary and I'm not getting it until Thursday! Ugh - at least the weather has been nice and walking to school isn't so bad. Just annoying to be stuck here for the rest of the day.

Kate, I'm so happy to hear that you had a "change in plans" this weekend!!! YAY! I'm sure Mike was thrilled! How was Gina this morning? Ellie cried again - it kills me! Can I have your cheesecake recipe? Mine was halfway decent but Ryan love cheesecake so I'll try anything!

Katie, sounds like your WOs are going really well! ^^^5! Sorry about Collin at soccer... Annabel used to be the same way with dance... sometimes I think they just need to grow up a bit. He's prob just jealous of your time! :)

Morris, I really hope everything goes well for the showing! What time did you get up this morning to get all of that done before work? You just never stop!!

Robin, I friended you on facebook. I love facebook. :) Glad your fd is over and everyone is back in NY! Are you going to do STS for 6 months?

Anne, Alexa is so cute. She'll get used to being in your home. That's sad about the foster mom. I'm sure that would be hard!

Colleen, I think Ryan would kill for a cheesesteak! Ahhh, American food! Did you get home at a reasonable hour?

Lisa, a little intro from me. I am 29, married to my HS sweetheart (Ryan), we have 2 daughters - Annabel, 4.5 and Noelle (Ellie), 3 in June. Ryan works for Caterpillar and we just took a transfer in December to northern France! Pretty crazy but we're adjusting! Welcome to the crowd! The more the merrier. :)

Well, time for mid day snack - I think it's going to be a pear.

Hopefully I'll be back later... not sure about dinner tonight. Ryan's going to be late and I have to walk to pick up kids... hope all are having a great day!

Hi Everyone!

Chris and I went grocery shopping last night and then sat on the couch and caught up on FB and email. My allergies have flared up and I am pretty miserable. We are getting some rain today so hopefully that will help.

Morris, ^5 on matching Cathe especially 2x's through. Hope your offer comes soon.
Angie, way to get back into working out. I bet you were a sweaty mess.
Katie, I want to leave my job but I should get my certification first. I just need to get my butt in gear and study.
Kate, hope today is better for Gina.
Hi Lisa, Klaudia & Anne!

w/o was DM long Cardio Blast - the long one
b: oatmeal w/ almonds
s: 1/2 clif bar

Ok, I'm annoyed. I just spent a little time looking at a few other forums here - have you guys checked out this STS shock thread:

http://www.thecathenation.com/forum/showthread.php?t=261639

This kind of stuff just gets on my nerves. I feel like people start threads just for the purpose of seeing how many responses they can get. I'm totally not a trouble maker... I'm a peacemaker.

Oh well, guess I'll just stick to our little check in.

Other topic, has anyone considered CLX? I really like Chalene but feel like I'd be cheating on Cathe...

?????????????:confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused:

But, people have mentioned a lot of belly fat loss... it's tempting. Maybe I just need to clean up my diet. That's not as fun as new WOs though.
 
Morning!

Yucky day-cold, rainy and dreary. Maybe that's why we all slept in til 8:30! Never did my walk-I should know better. Once 8 hits, my motivation disappears. Today is STS 19 C/S/T from last week. I'm already dreading the double wave load. I have a trainer coming over this afternoon for a consultation. That should be interesting.

Angie, way to go! I rarely do all of BM2-it wipes me out!

Katie, nice weights! I think mine were 32-34-37 and my forearms still hurt! Weird cause when I did week 3's workout 80% was 37# and I did fine. Ah, well.

Morris, sending positive vibes your way! I'll get that recipe to you, no worries:)

Kate, good job! What did you do?

Robin, I thought the exact same thing about Cathe and her weights in STS! It's near impossible to catch a glimpse of the poundage. FB is definitely an addiction-especially for a SAHM:)

Colleen, sorry about the allergies. I know how you feel-my allergies make my asthma worse-Danica too. Hope you feel better. Great workout, by the way!

Hi Anne and Lisa!
 
i think im going to have to be lame at personals today - dramamax!

gina was a little tearful today but not near as bad as yday...tx for asking! it means a lot!
 
w/o done 52min on ellip and sts core yoga

Angie I'm glad that you will be getting your car on thurs and why did it take so long? I read that CLX is mostly cardio. after I'm done with M3 I'm going to do a undulation periodization rotation which may take 4-5 months. It looks like this
recovery week
k-bells 3x per week
M1 WK1
M2 WK1
M3 WK1

recovery wk

Colleen I haven't done DM in such a long time. Thanks for the idea. I hope your allergies get better.

Kate dramamax with payroll?

Did you all know that Cathe is still having the new STS cardio on sale? Hmmm should I

I may read some of this stuff but I don't respond because there are much more important things happening in the world.
 
hi guys. i am checking in at the library. hopefully the people at our house are thinking of making an offer:p i had an awesome run outside - it is rare for me to run with:p the sun up. 13.5 miles in 1 hr and 50 min. it felt great. now i have to go into work for a meeting:( ah well, today has been good.

katie, great run! how is your arm feeling?

kate, sorry for the drama. glad you got in your cardio!

colleen, what do you want to study? what certification do you need? i definately am inspired to do dm this week. love those drills.

klaud, thanks for the recipe. sorry for the yucky weather. it is going to be 50 and sunny today but was 35 when i was out this am. i am ready for spring.

robin, you program post sts looks really good. when you do kb's, do you do basically total body? i don't know enough about them to knwo if you can separate upper and lower. i am hoping when we move there will be some kb classes near by and i can try them out.

lisa, good morning. what is on tap today?

eats are super clean. meeting at work will have pizza, but i am going to eat earlier - don't need pizza! especially greasy take out pizza. i am ready for 3 o'clock to get my boys
 
angie, i hate all the fighting on the other boards too...
im curious abt clx too....

kaie, great run! i havent in a while...

robin, which cc you do? enjoy a quiet day tp yourself!:)

colleen, nice night last night!

morris, your running would kill me, im sure of it! offer vibes!!

klaudia, yuck eather here too....
cant waiy to hear BOUT THE TRAINER! oops - sorry caps! julia!
 
I know I promised personals, but I don't have the energy. I must sadly report that we gave Alexa back to her foster mom yesterday. We talked and talked and talked about it on Sunday and we realized we just don't have the time and attention and energy that she needs. I'm heartbroken because I'm totally in love with her, but it was the responsible decision to make. She needs a family that doesn't have to travel almost every weekend. I cried and cried and cried Sunday night and didn't sleep because she was crying, too, so by the time I got up on Monday my face was a big, puffy mess. Just what I needed before a presentation in front of 200 people. I iced my face while Jim played with her outside. I miss her, but our priority right now is our aging parents and we have no way of knowing when that will change. We thought we could just make it work, but we can't. I feel horrible, but it was the right thing to do. She'll be a wonderful dog for someone. Yuck. Sorry to be a downer! I'm going to lay low for a while. I hope everyone's having a good one!

anne
 
((((Anne)))) I'm so sorry for you, Jim, and Alexa. Do not feel like you did anything wrong! You did what you needed to do for your family at this time and that is ok. We're here for you. Come back when you're ready.
 
Super duper busy day here. Collin busted his lip open right before leaving for school, so I was late. Now it's my lunch and I am home doing laundry and putting dinner in the slow cooker. Oh, and shoveling down a sandwich.

Anne, hugs, it sounds like you did the right thing. Angie, that's a loooooong time for them to keep your car! Robin, rotation looks good! Klaudia, FB is also quite addicting to those with an iPhone and a FB app;) Morris, your running AMAZES me!

Back to work, Drs appt, pick up Collin, home to fix the rest of dinner and fold the laundry... :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
 
Oh, Anne, I'm soooooo sorry about Alexa! I know you were so excited. I think you probably made the right decision though - dogs are a lot of work and need a lot of attention. Is Jim upset? (((HUGS)))!!!!! We'll be here whenever you are ready!

Klaudia, can't wait to hear about your trainer! I would love to have a trainer... then maybe I would make some progress.

Morris, how do you find the time to do all that you do?

Robin, your post sts rotation sounds good to me too! I'm trying to figure out what I'm going to do for the second half of the year. I'd really like to tone up quite a bit and I'm not sure what that looks like for me!

Katie, bummer about Collin's lip!!! I agree, the FB app for iPhone is addicting!

Kate, what kind of dramamax???

Just found out that some of our friends from AZ are on the verge of divorce. Please a prayer for them if you think of it. It breaks my heart into pieces. UGH.

Ok, gotta get dinner in the oven. It's almost 7... gave the girls leftovers!

BBL.
