CLEAN.IT.UP.TUESDAY!!

Morning girls,

Today I started my first "doubles" day. It was pretty good. My first WO got interrupted a couple of time by kid issues. So I did RS but only the first two combos. Then after I took the girls to school I did KPC. It was awesome! That WO always makes me feel spent in such a good way and the ab work at the end (those pikes on the ball) is so great!

So, I have to go pick up the girlies in a few min for lunch and then to the grocery store this afternoon. I'll check in when I can!

Keep it clean and tidy today. Your body will thank you and you'll be happy!
 
Thanks for the motivation Angie! We all need it!
Glad you had some good workuots!
Enjoy your lunch w/ your girls!
Is navigating the grocery store getting easier?

Nina, Are you getting your kick*&*&^*^ run?!:D

Wendy, You did GREAT yday! Good for you!
We always shorten Julia's name up to Ju (sounds like Jew) - I don't even think about it but when we're out and about and say it I wonder what people think!!!??? Oops! Maybe we should rethink that nickname?!

-
I have an 8am meeting w/ our financial planner. He called and wants to go over things - hope it's good news!:confused::eek::p I need to get groceries today and housework too. Going to chiro too for a checkup on my knee. Someone asked if I was going to go to PT..... not yet. I trust my chiro more and te exercise he gave me is REALLY helping!

WO - Barre total body
BTW, my chest, tri's and bi's are ON FIRE from PUB on Sunday. yaaaay!
Breakfast isgoinfg to be oatmeal w/ prunes.:eek: Can't wait!:rolleyes::rolleyes::eek::eek:
 
I always run myself out of time for my check in/personals. Aggghhhh!!! I need more hours in a day!

Eats are totally clean since last Wednesday and I am determined to continue.

Yesterday I ended up back in bed with Chris:eek::p I did my cardio when I got home from work last night, then this morning I did GS Legs and Chest. I will catch up with tris tonight. Chris is being awfully helpful with me getting my missed workout done!:p
 
Katie, A little extra cardio is good for the soul!;):p:D
^^^^5 on clean eats!

Breakfast is down! For all the fuss people make about the taste of prunes they're actually not that bad....kinda sweet. Let's hope their "magical powers" work!:eek::eek:

Went thru our cc bill.....we spent $965 on grocs last month! Another $250 on out to eat! DANG!!!!!
 
Hi Girls ! :)

I'm trying to choose a weight workout and am just not commiting to anything !!!:confused: I NEED to just do eenie-meenie-minie-mo and GET BUSY !!!!;);)

I will definitely do a rotation after we get back from our Thanksgiving trip because choosing my own workouts is NOT working for me.

Okay. I'm going now. I'm picking SOMETHING & getting busy. Will post after I finish.

Becky:eek:
 
Morning!

Quick check in before the school rush starts. Feeling yesterday's workout already:) Today is cardio and abs-maybe some kickbox? I also have returns to make from my shopping trip this weekend and I have Kohl's cash to spend:) Tonight is parent-teacher conferences which should be interesting. Eats will be clean!

Katie, your FB posts yesterday were cracking me up;) Glad to hear he's being so accomodating:) Great workout!

Angie, cardio doubles?! Wow! I'm lucky to get 2 cardios/week, much less in one day!

Kate, are you going solo to the meeting? I would be lost! We have a refinancing meeting this week and I have to go-I just sign and nod my head-so sad. My friend posted some cake the Adventists where she lives make called Prune Cake that she says tastes like chocolate. I don't know about that one, but I do know my family-mom and dad-loves prune paczkis that my uncle makes for Fat Tuesday:) Me, not so much.

I'll be back after drop off...
 
Okay, I did 30 Day Shred (Jillian Michaels) . I did the whole thing, which is 3 , 20 minute workouts. In the LAST weight work of the last circuit, I tweaked something in my left shoulder. Hopefully it's nothing , but guess I'll see as the day goes on...........

I'll be back later.

Becky
 
Good Morning Everyone!

Last night when I got home from work I did 2.75 mile run. It was dark and I was tired so I stopped before 3 miles. I discovered I run a little slower when it is dark - we have some areas that are really dark so I must slow down in those areas. This morning was KPC.

I received a call from the company I interviewed with yesterday and they want to interview me tomorrow morning. So another crazy morning will be on tap. I scheduled it at 8 am which means I need to get my butt out of bed on time. I also heard from this one company that they are going to call me about an offer in the next couple of days. I feel weird going on the interview tomorrow morning knowing I will get an offer but there are no guarantees in life and I don't want to be left with nothing.

Klaudia, I guess we won't be friends this weekend if you are going to the MSU game. I hope PSU wins but they have been playing so erratic that you never know.
Angie, you are brave for doing double cardio. I get burned out after about 4 days of straight cardio.
Katie, glad Chris is helping you get your workouts in.
Kate, pool vs. addition. I would go for the addition. The pool is a lot of work for just a couple of months a year.
Wendy, great dinner last night (sounds delish). Hope you have recovered.
Lisa, I can't believe that there is no school on Fridays. Everyone already complains that our kids don't spend enough time in school.
Nina, did you get your run in? 24 days is a long time for DH to be gone.
Becky, what workout did you decide on?
Robin, are you better yet?

b: oatmeal w/ almonds
s: 1/2 clif bar
l: grilled chicken salad, apple
s: blueberries & yogurt
d: either ce salmon patties or ce fusion enchiladas
 
Becky, Nce job on the WO! Hope the shoulder isn't anyhting!:confused:

Klaudia, Mike met me there!:) I *can* do it alone but he needed to hear first hand what $man wanted us to do and sign some papers too.
Prunes.... seems like the cake and packzis would defeat the purpose!:eek: I'll stick to my oats!;):p
Get in that WO!
Good luck at conferences! OUrs are Friday

Colleen, I vote enchiladas! mmmmmmmm! You've got awesome eats all day! WTG!
Great wo's!
Exciting on the interviews! ITA - Keep your options open. Let us know!!!

-
SQUEAKY clean eats here! Made my dinner menus out for the rest of the week. Breakfast & lunch are always easy.:)
 
Ok, my mil put me in charge of finding some holiday events we could take the kids to. I researched for a long time yesterday and came up with a list of stuff-teas with Santa, breakfast/dinner with Santa, etc. Both sils said any of the events were good, but nothing specific. Arrgh! I also found a train ride breakfast with Santa and a "Polar Express" version where they read the book, the kids wear their pjs, etc. Here's the link: http://www.rail-road.com/FamilyTrains/MSC/FamilyTrains.php

My sil sent me and email saying, "The train thing looks a little weird." When I asked her why she said, "I don't know-just does."

Do you guys think it's weird? I thought it sounded fun-we love the book and the movie. I'm thinking I'm going to let my kids decide what they would like to do and if DH's family would like to join us, great. If not, oh well.

Colleen, we can still be friends-I won't rub it in if State wins;) And I happy already-MSU is gonna play in a bowl game regardless:) Good luck with the job hunt! What are fusion enchiladas?

Kate, your posts are always so sunny:) Thanks for today's kick in the pants! I'll workout after lunch!
 
Kate - How cute about J running when her sisters' bus comes home! I love PUB. Prunes and oatmeal has to work, lol!
Nina - Hope you had a great run this am. When is DH coming home?
Wendy - Awesome wos yesterday! I know what you mean about busy days. I am full of them here.
Katie - No worries on personals. I know how time just flies by.
Klaudia - You're on it with Xmas! I need to start early also. I have ideas, but nothing came to fruition yet.
Colleen - Good luck at the interview!
Becky - I have that wo, but haven't done it in forever.
Angie - Yes, those pike things on the ball are awesome! Thanks for the reminder on staying clean! I so need it.

Okay, Insanity wo done! Now I have to shower then off to work. Eats will be clean! I feel like I have a million things to do. Ack, anyone else feel like that? I didn't realize how challenging having a 7 and 10 yo could be esp. when it comes to school and sports. Anyway, the goal is to not eat when I feel stress so please keep me accountable!! Have a good one ladies!

Lisa
 
Kl, I think the train thing looks fun! Good attitude w. the fam!
NOW GO DO YOUR WO!!!! Wish I could do mine but I've got to wait til tongiht. Too much to do today.
And glad I can make you :).
:D:D:D:D


Lisa, When the kids are tots the busy-ness pales in comparison to having school-age kids, doesn't it? (Nina, please don't take offense!!!) Part of me misses the simpler days but part of me loves having older kids you can have real conversations with. Its so bittersweet
Good job w/ your WO! My chiro said to give my knee another 6 weeks before resuming impact. Boo! NOT what I wanted to hear but my knee is getting much better so I don't want to reinjure it.

-
Lunch was clean and my resst of my day will be too.
Repeat after me: "afternoon snacking will not get the best of me!"

hi everyone:):) yes, long run was awesome - 11 miles, and i zoomed. did pub too (thanks for the encouragement kate!). fun but stressful day here. fun with kids - i love home days. stressful with fd:mad: i leave it that my mom may or may not be coming over, but i told her if she does, leave the drama behind. i am so mean:(

kate, glad your knee is better. does elliptical leave it feeling okay? what does he think you did? and i do not take offense to school age children being busier. i jsut have not gotten there yet:D. what dinners did you come up for for the rest of the week?

lisa, that is crazy about no school on friday. what are y9u doing for homeschooling? where do you get info and ideas? i am really interested in it for suplementing. and i will be there with you on the stresss eats. that is what got me with the container of nuts yday.

klaud, what wo did you do? the polar express thing looks awesome.

angie, great wos! you inspired me to do hi impact drills only from kpc too! did yo home school your girls at all?

colleen, congrats on the 2nd interview. good luck!!

becky, what is your verdict on jm wos? i got one once from net flix and never tried it:eek:

hi robin - how are you feeling?

katie, way to catch up on your wos. i am jealous of your time with dh;)

super clean day here, and it will stay that way. i have a sub job on thursday at hte boys school in kindergarden. i am excited! bbiab
 
Nina, You are not mean, you are setting boundaries and that is a GOOD THING! Be proud of yourself!
Ellip doesn't seem to bother my knee. He thinks I twisted it and since I did Insanity I have no doubt he's right. Ski abs, anyone?
Glad you had a good run & weights!
Hope the sub job goes well! ANymore leads on vetting:p?

Whew! J is finally napping - off to work in the kitchen! Making pasta, veggie & bean soup for the teachers lunch for tomorrow - hope it turns out good!
And pulled pork for DH for tonight - ooooh, he's gonna LOVE ME!!!!
 
please pardon my space bar issues

JJ is finally napping and i have a few minutes. went to 9:30 group power class and i am already feeling my bis, sh and chest...cantwaitto see the domsthat develop tomorow =) JJ fell asleep on the way home so i kept walking and then we went to the library for a while -- this seems to be a new pattern i guess!

b - luna bar, banana, coffee
l - pesto chicken and salad
tonight is ods XC banquet at a local fam-style restaurant. i do well there when i can order off the menu (shrimp cocktail and tom/mozz salad usually) but i have no idea what this catered menu will be =( maybe i should eat before i go??

kate, youre always cookin up something great, dh loves you EVERYday! sorry bout6 more wks but wait it out, so worth it. lol at calling J ju/jew...

nina, yay for subbing job!! ITA agree with kate, set those boundaries! and dont feel bad about it for asecond.

lisa, so right abt busy-ness with schl-age kids, and if you miss a single event/mtg/game/show the worldis ending. good news for you, when they are teens you betternot miss anything orthey will just DIE, AND theydonttell you athing until itshappening in 5 mins...

kl, the train sounds cool, tell the rest of your fam to come if they want! whats your WO?

colleen, salmon patties sound good. hope BOTH jobs make offers and you get to choose!

hi becky! ive never tried a JM wo, are they easily modified formyknee issues?

angie, KPC used to be a fave and havent done it in forever! maybe i should break it out tomorrow. how many days a week will you do dbl cardio? or will it be cardio and wts some days?

hi katie! hi anne!

need to wake JJ up soon and get ready to go.
 
I am finally enjoying a quiet evening at home. I just finished my book finally and I will start making dinner soon. I think I will try the salmon patties tonight since they will be easier to take for lunch.

So I am having cleaning lady drama. There is a woman and her daughter who clean our house. The daughter sends Chris a text yesterday that she forgot her key. He tells her he is Chicago and sends me a text to see if I can help. I say no, I am in a meeting. So last night I came home expecting a clean house but she didn't come. So I called her and she said she misplaced the key to our house and she didn't think she could find it before she came on Wednesday. She asked if I could leave one under the mat for her and I said no. I also told her I couldn't wait for her on Wednesday when she wanted to come. I am betting that she lost the key but I told to call me when she either found the key or figured out a day that was convenient for me. I haven't heard anything. I guess I need to change the locks and find a new cleaning lady. So frustrating.

Klaudia, I think the train looks like a lot of fun. I don't know why SIL thinks it is weird.
Kate, sorry about the 6 weeks. I hope you can do the elliptical.
Nina, you are not mean - the drama gets old pretty quickly and it is hard to be supportive.
Lisa, I agree it is hard to keep it clean when you are stressed.
Wendy, I hate it when you don't know what is being served. I think you should just watch your portions and do the best you can.
 
Wendy, WTG on a great day!
You're prob back already but I would've just made the best of what they offered. If I try to pre-empt and eat a little before I go somewhere it usually backfires and I end up eating more than I should've to begin with!

Colleen, So are you kind of enjoying some solo time?:)
EGADS on the cleaning lady drama! New locks for sure!

-
Just finished Bar Method Designer Sculpting. I think my arse is gonna be burnin' tomorrow night!

CLEAN EATS ALL DAY! Gonna settle into bed with a clementine! Who needs ice cream? (Ignore the voice that screams "I do!!!! I do!!! I do!!!!!!!!!!!!":p:p:p)
:D:D:D:D:D
