.......... clean it up WEEKEND ..........

Nope, I'm here!! I was watching some video on weather.com about the snow storm that is supposed to hit the east coast this week. I hope it snows a foot!

Kate, don't sweat the cupcake, I ate something similar last night:eek:

Yesterday ended up being a rest day and another HORRIBLE eating day. But the scale scared the sh*t outta me this morning so I swear today will be better. I am going to do some step cardio this am -- I'm thinking BM2, my fav, and then 1RM testing with Chris. I have lots of cleaning and laundry to do, movie with Collin this afternoon, and that's about it.

Have we heard from Colleen this weekend???
 
Morning girls,

We are back from Belgium (yes, Morris, we did drive - it's about 90 min away).

I had a great time out with some of the other expat wives here (most of them with CAT but some not). We went out to dinner which was super yummy and it was just so nice to have a chance to talk with other women.

Ellie didn't sleep well last night and was up like every hour (she takes some time to adjust to a new place). So, I'm pretty tired this afternoon and could use a nap!

Katie, sometimes that scale is a good motivator, right? I'm going to check my weight tomorrow morning. It could be a pretty scary reality check for my eating! Glad you had a good birthday week!

Kate, did you have a better night with Julia? I can't believe Feb is over! :) I'm looking forward to our chat tomorrow.

Robin, I think you're funny with your STS/1rm stuff. It sounds like you're enjoying it!

Klaudia, how have you been the past week or so with the hypo stuff? You sound like you've been better. Just thinking about you!

Anne, hope the rays are treating you nicely! :)

Hi Colleen, hope you are having a good weekend!

Today is GS chest/triceps. I've heard crazy things about the push ups on this WO so I'm slightly scared... I'll let you know how it goes.

Have a great day!
angie
 
morning everyone!! happy sunday. i feel soooooo good today! aidan slept from 8pm until 6:45am! finn stayed asleep until 6:20. i ran 9 miles (4 were tempo runs), and did pubabs and mmabs. hoping for some upper body later. also, yesterday was so squeaky clean and my body feels wonderful today. lets hope i don't sabatoge my efforts:mad:

katie, you might have just needed a break yesterday. how often in collins with his dad? enjoy bm2 - i love that cardio. also, have fun at the movies.

katie, we did go sledding yesterday. it was sooo fun. had a big pot of soup for dinner with salad. i am making chili today too - white chicken chili. also some guacamole with some baked chips and veggies. what weights are you doing today? hope you slept some last night.

hi colleen - where are you?

angie, where did you stay? finn, my older son, also has trouble sleeping while away. i love gs c and t. i love pushups, though. it is such a good feeling to do them. you will be good and sore after.

robin, i think you should be a trainer. maybe you could train me:D you are so organized.

klaudia, what is on tap today? i made the scoats for this am - yummmy!!

i am hoping to go for another walk or snowshoe today. it is cold this am - 8 degrees! but, if i move fast enough, i will be warm. i would love to go shopping, but i do not see that happening. we will just have to see. bbl
 
Monrning!

Just got my bum out of bed-Darrin got up with the girls and made coffee. He even brought it to me in bed ao I could finish watching Bridget Jones' Diary! I think I owe him later;) Company was fun-they stayed til 10. Dinner turned out good except for the dessert they brought-crockpot chocolate cake? Sounded good in theory-cake mix, pudding, chocolate chips, sour cream,etc.-but tasted blech:( Ah, well. Nothing planned for today. Maybe a trip to Target with Danica this afternoon. And I'm hoping to do Plyo Legs.

Kate, did Mike like the partner abs? I was telling Darrin how we need to get a med ball so we can do them. I'm thinking chili today, too:)

Katie, have fun at the movie today! I'm avoiding the scale myself-don't wanna know!

Angie, you need to go to Portugal! There was a front page article in the Detroit News travel section this morning about how warm, sunny, and cheap it is. Sounds beautiful! I've been doing much better with the hypo stuff. I think I've been too busy to think much about it. And having the meds around for back up helps, too. Thanks for thinking of me.

Morris, your workouts never cease to amaze me! They are total motivation. I'm so glad you liked the recipe. I always worry when giving out a recipe that the person will think it's gross and think I'm nuts!

Hi Robin and Colleen!

b-kashi, orange

bbl...
 
G'afternoon ladies

kate valentines cupcakes were they red velvet?

Katie do you eat more on the days that you don't work out? I do. Did you try the assisted pull up? It scares me.

Angie YAY you are back with my Belgium chocolate ;) I'm glad thatyou enjoyed your trip.

Morris that is sooo good that he slept a long night. What kind of soup are you making?
I was looking at Goya website for some new ideas. I wouldn't say that I'm organized more like obsessive/compulsive. That's why I'm so good at spending money :D LOL

Klaudia chocolate chips & sour cream :confused: it doesn't sound too good. Maybe that's a good thing b/c you did not eat 2 slices.

I went to church today and the pastor said that many people will be leaving the church in the next 10 weeks because we will be studying the 10 Commandment! :eek: Ooooh noooo:eek:

d-BBQ tenderloin, rice and cabbage.

I was helping Chris with his workout manager and I forgot I was logged in as him and not me. Oops! I need some sleep!
 
Okie - fixed. Deleted it under Chris' profile and here is the post under mine:

I here!!! Sorry yesterday just wore me out. We drove up to Philly for the day and they shut down 1-95 to clear up an accident. So we just sat for an hour. My neices birthday was good. My sister decided to get a cupcake for her because she really wanted a chocolate chip cake for the adults. My sister sat the cupcake on her tray and she very nicely picked some pieces of the icing and put it in her mouth. We expected her to shove the cupcake in her mouth. I guess we underestimated her.

Katie, sorry about the Frank drama. Enjoy your movie today.
Kate, mmm valentine cupcakes.
Robin, I don't think I am going to import my STS cards into word. I used it for pylo legs and I didn't have any problems logging my weight used.
Angie, sorry you didn't get a lot of sleep last night. Glad you were able to meet with other Americans.
Morris, I hope I can get up to 9 miles in the Spring.

Off to make my superbowl dinner. It is not clean or tidy so I am not even going to mention it.
 
katie, sending clean-eating vibes your way!
sounds like a nice day! let us know how c likes the movie

angie, im excited to chat tomorrow too!:D 10 still?
much better night, thanks!
so glad you got to get away and ave some fun! you deserve it!

klaudia, what a nice morning! sounds like youre going to have a nice night too!:cool:
i have a recipe for that cake. never made it. now i wont for sure!
mikedid like the abs. we used an 8# ball. some exer's it was too light, others just right. we had fun.

morris, im in desperate need of shopping!! i need clothes!!
sounds ilke youre having a good weekend! any decisions about dh's job?
keep up the clean eats!!!

robin, yellow cake. but i made pink frosting & sprinkled them.
be careful on that "thou shall not kill" commandment!;):p seriously tho, that would be interesting to hear.:)
sour cream is actuaally really good in cakes. keeps them super moist.

colleen, glad you hada good time but bummeron the traffic. i am so impatient in the car.:eek: realxing today or busy to make up for being gone?

=============
today is carby for me:mad: but we have almost no food, so ive done the best i can. after j eats i'll go to the store. roast is in the oven& smelling so good!
 
Okay, just finished GS chest and triceps. Boy was I shaking. I'm proud to say I hung in with the push-ups even though I thought I was going to die. I only did the first 8 on my toes but I'll get better. :) My weights were ridiculously low compared to Cathe's but I have a lot to work up to I figure. I did BC core afterwards which was hard because it moves so quickly and there was NO WAY I could do the plank work after all that chest work.

I had Ryan take some pics today so I could get a better idea of my changes over the next month. Wish I had done it last month but I didn't... I'll check in with the scale tomorrow. I'm not sure I've lost anything this last month. Maybe 1 pound. We'll see how my bf % looks though.

Colleen, sorry about the back up on the highway. What a bummer. That stuff is so annoying. Enjoy your sb dinner. I'm so sad to be missing it!

Kate, tomorrow at 10 sounds good. Would 9:30 be too early? I just don't want to feel rushed and I have to pick up Anna at 11 your time.

Robin, send me your address and I promise next time I go to Belgium, I'll get you some chocolate. It is VERY good! There are choc shops EVERYWHERE!

Klaudia, your morning sounds lovely. I love BJD!

Morris, the family that we replaced here, moved to Belgium. They have a huge house and we stayed with them.

OK, time to shower and have a quick late night snack. Orange or apple or something...

See you all in the AM. Enjoy the SB!! :) I'll be soundly sleeping... :(
 
Katie, didn't mean to forget you... I actually wanted to ask you where you think I should be taking measurements? Any advice would be great! Hope you are having a good weekend.
 
angie, 8 pushups from your toes is great! i *suck* at pushups but i can do chest presses all day.:confused:
i'd better stick w/ 10. i have some things to do after i drop off isabel and by 11 i have to start heading back to preschool anyway.
and if i were in your shoes i def wouldnt have lost weight....or stayed the same.....id have gained a ton! you are doing awesome!

well, no groceries.:( i just woke up from a nap! picture this: im in a lazyboy w/ my feet propped up on mufasa, laptop on my lap, julia sleeping on my chest and i'm conked out! i havent had a nap since she was a couple weeks old! it felt great! now i'll have to get groceries after dds go to bed which means i prob wont get a wo.:mad: maybe the nap was worth it tho....
 
Yes, Chris is going to do STS with me. We are starting tomorrow. Wish us luck!!!!

Kate, glad you got a nap - they always feel so good.
Angie, you can take measurements and store them in the workout manager. It appears to be working with Safari now.
 
......still in the chair w/ julia.....
i dont have time for this!!!!! i have too much to do!
guess im having a good old fashioned lazy sunday!

colleen, are you and chris doing the wo's together? how great!
 
i am jealous of you all working out with your husbands:(:( oh well, what can i do?

angie, you will improve on pushups in no time. you will really feel that tomorrow for sure!

kate, i am glad you are havin g a lazy day. i too am awful at naps. i don't remmeber the last one i took! it is good, though, and the sleep alone is probably better for your metabolism than a workout. srry for the latenight grocery shop.

colleen, have fun at your party!


i did start ff's rotation today. the weight work was short but sweet - pub chest, mm chest, pub tris, mm tris. i went really havey on tris and it was good. off to feed my wild indians. bb tomorrow
 
morris, thanks for the nap encouragement. i prob would have a better metabolism if i slept more but i havent figured out how to get more hours in the day!:eek::p
that rot. looked good and i loved her dec one, but i didnt want to mess around w/ taking dvds in and out. seemes like it wouldve aded too much timee to the wo and im already pressed.

dinners done.....so is my cupcake.:eek: i wish i was a bad cook!:p

i think im going to do mm push pull before i go to meijer. i have to have my wo time!!!:D
 
kate, i am sure your metabolism is just fine. i do know i feel better about myself when i am rested, that is all. enjoy mm. as for the rotation, it is not bad to swap out dvds like that. overall the weight segs are short anyways. ff does really good rotations i think. i am sooo jealous of you all with sts:p:p
