Morning everyone!

I am determined to make this a better day! Got up early this morning and did the original Imax which I actually really like. Even though the blasts get a bit repetitive, I still liked it. Good wo! Those explosive lunges kill me though! Also did day 3 of the 100 push up challenge. My upper back is feeling it!!

Jus wanted to get us started. We are at dance/gym classes. Anna has a birthday party this afternoon so it will just be me and Ellie.

I'll check in later for personals!
 
Angie, WTG on the pushups (and Imax too!)! In all my busy-ness I think I missed that you are doing that! I should start that up too. Hope you and Ellie have a fun time together. I love when I get 1on1 with my big girls. I'll have some time with Gina on Saturday when Isabel goes to a party.:)

After a whirlwind weekend and busybusy day yday today looks a little calmer. WOs fell by the wayside the last couple days but hoping to get back at it today. I'll try to be better at posting today too.:eek:
 
Good Morning ladies! I am not feeling so hot - went to bed early last night, slept in late, feeling a little queasy and yucky. Not sure what the deal is....

Angie, I love the originial IMAX, I think it's my favorite. I started the push up challenge a few months back and never finished:eek: I'm not sure now is the time for me to try, but good luck to you!

Kate, (((hugs))) and :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: about FB drama. GROWN UP!

Klaudia, I am jealous of your weekend away! Did you make it to the grocery store?

Colleen, I am glad you enjoyed your 3 day weekend too. Any reason why you are running more these days? Are you training for a race?

Becky, great choice on the rotation!

Anne, did you get your workouts in last night and this morning? I packed pb&j sandwich, fruit (apple slices and blueberries), 3 cookies, and G2 for Collin's lunch. He ate everything but the cookies - LOL!

Nina, I need to catch up on weights too. I am really in a wo slump. Did I read that DH is gone now? For how long?

Wendy, you are doing so awesome with your BL challenge!! How was dinner last night!
 
Katie, Sorry you're not feeling good! Hope it passes soon!
And I am SO HAPPY for you and Collin that his new school is going so well! You are a great mama & it shows! LOL @ his lunch! The cookies woulda been the FIRST thing gone in my girls' lunches - MINE TOO!:D:p
How long will you take for maternity leave? Do you have any names you're thinking of?
 
Maternity Leave - honestly I'm not sure. I really need to ask - I got into it with my boss last week, so I am really not in the mood to talk to her. I am hoping for 8 weeks or maybe even 10. I hope they don't tell me I'm only allowed 6:mad: I have to use all my sick leave and annual leave, but with all the paid holidays in Dec and Jan, that will allow me a little extra time.

Thank you for your kind words about Collin. I get so nervous, and Chris the other day said, "Katie, he can make friends at the gas station. He has a gift" and he is right - he really does. He's an amazing kid...
 
Awww, Katie! That's so sweet what Chris said! YOu can tell that just by LOOKING at him!
You tell your boss that Kate said you can take all the time you need with Skunkette!:D
 
Good Morning Girls !

Angie- great workout ! Have fun with Ellie ! :)
Kate- glad you have a slower day today . Sounds like you might enjoy a break from the craziness ! ;)
Katie- hope you feel better soon. Yay for Collin's great first day ! :)

SB today but I just did that one so I'll probably sub it. UB is sore from MM yesterday .:eek:

It's going to be a stormy/rainy day here today , so I will clean and hopefully do some reading.
I called and asked if Brayden could come swimming yesterday since he couldn't come the day before and he came over in his shark swim trunks and shark flip flops .....too cute !:cool:
I changed into my suit and in we jumped !!!!! We had so much fun and he never fails to crack me up . He wanted to know all about "hunting birds"........which I finally figured out he meant HUMMINGBIRDS !!! :) :) :)
I went underwater and told him I thought there was a shark in the pool. He said it was just from his swim trunks and they were good sharks, but he told them to stay on his trunks , and not bite anyone !!!:p:p:p
Good times !:D
 
Becky, Stormy day here too...woke up listening to thunder rumble!:)
Brayden sounds too cute! I cannot say enough what a good grandma you are! To have a grandma that actually volunteers to take the children might make me pass out!:eek:
LOVE MM! Have fun with your cardio today!
 
good morning - i feel so so good, with no particular reason - major family drama had me up a lot last night. i kicked my wo, though - 6 miles of sprints and hills, dwp, and part of mma box. biggest news - -finn started swimming last night!!!!!! we were in the pool for 2.5 hrs, and he is doing it! i will be back shortly to catch up on personals, after i feed my monkeys
 
Morning!

Stormy day here too and I have to go out for groceries since I didn't go yesterday:( Nothing else on tap til the weekend-yay! Yesterday I restarted my rotation and did MM upper body and abs and I can already feel it today. Today will be either ME lower and 20minutes on the treadmill or some kb. Yesterday I signed up the girls for 3 weeks of day camp in July-August:)

Angie, nice workout! Do you do push ups every day on the challenge?

Kate, hop back on the workout wagon! I love time alone with my girls too-Danica and I had some time together on Sunday while Darrin took the little ones to the hardware store-we ate Doritos and watched HGTV:)

Katie, hope the ickies pass! Too cute about Collin! So glad he had an easy transition. I think maternity leave here is a joke! The U.S. is so hypocritical when it comes to that-talks about being pro child/family and then doesn't make it easy to be a working parent. I hope you can get a lot of time.

Becky, what a fun day you had! Your kids and grandkids are lucky to have such a young, fun and active mom and grandma!

Colleen, glad you had time to recharge this weekend. Darrin was ecstatic that he didn't have cell service at the cottage;)

Anne, did you get your workout in yesterday?

Nina, do not succumb to the FD! I know I need to tell myself that too but it's true. You can't change them-only how you react to them.

Wendy, way to go! You are gonna come back to Boston looking wicked fierce!;) Can you post the quiona salad recipe?
 
You girls say the nicest things, but I just LOVE spending time with my grandsons!! I'm sorry you don't have the same situation. :(
When our kids were little, my parents lived hundreds of miles away and my inlaws are much older and NEVER , EVER just asked for the kids....so I know what you mean !:( It's not easy.

I did Powermax in place of Step Blast. Great, sweaty workout!
Even with a/c and fan .......it's so humid that I was sweating practically before I started stepping !!!:p

I'm interested in the quinoa recipe too....if you care to share it Wendy !!! :)
 
Becky, Powermax was my first Cathe tape, so it has a special place in my heart. And you are a great grandma! I love to hear about your time with your grandkids.

Klaudia, have fun grocery shopping in the rain! It just started pouring here and it's almost completely dark out. Lots of thunder and lightening. Whoa! That one was close.

Nina, yay for Finn! Sorry for the family drama. :( You know you can vent to us if need be; we're here for you. {{{HUGS}}} I'm glad you're feeling good today, isn't it nice?

Kate, I'm glad you get some down time today. Can you stay in all day since the weather is so crappy?

Katie, sorry you're under the weather today, but I love what Chris said about Collin too! That is a gift. It's nice when someone can fit in wherever they go.

Angie, I'm embarrassed, but I haven't started the push up challenge yet. Can I join you next week and just be a week behind?

Clintonya, how is vacation?

Wendy, you are rockin' it, girl! I'd love the quinoa recipe too, please. I have a great one that you stuff into pita pockets. It's really old, but I should dig it out.

Colleen, what's new with you? I wouldn't be surprised if we're posting at the same time.

Hi Lisa!

I did do BM2 upper body and abs last night. I could not do the side planks with both legs straight, I had to bend my bottom leg. My arms were fried by then and I just couldn't do it. But I'll try to work up to it. I did not get up early today, but I think I can squeeze in a quick leg work out after work and before dress rehearsal. Tonight is the rehearsal for the recital, which is good because it means there's only one day between rehearsal and the actual recital for me to forget the steps. :p

I had a nice, long conversation with TCB Sunday evening when I got home from visiting with my dad. And I'm jealous! He got to go to the Yankees game yesterday. A buddy of his had an extra ticket. How fun would that be? I need to go see my local baseball team some time soon.

Okay, on with my day. bbl

anne
 
becky, can you be my kids grandma??? you sound like a dream for sure.

klaudia, wtg with the camp. mine are in for one week after we move. it is 1.5 hrs a day, but i am hoping it is enough to get organied in our new home.

katie, sorry for feeling yucky. i hope it passes quickly. i am glad collin had a good first day.

kate, i hate when my routine is upset, which it is a lot with dh's travels. back at it today.

angie, great job with the wos. when do you start classes again?

just took the boys for a walk. we head to swim in a bit, so i will be back this afternoon, hopefuly after some sweaty power yoga!
 
Good morning everyone!

I got a killer sinus headache yesterday afternoon which sucked. My sinuses are still congested this morning but at least the headache is not as severe. Unfortunately of all the days this week, this is the day I need to be at work so I dragged myself in. I have a lunch meeting at a Thai restaurant (does anyone know what is clean Thai food?) and then a happy hour tonight. I hope I make it. No workout this morning but if I feel up to it I will do Max Recovery tonight.

Wendy, ^5 on the weight loss. I am interested in the quinoa recipe too. I am on my own for dinner tonight so maybe I will make it.
Becky, you are a wonderful grandma. My mom is always helping out with my niece too. In fact when we had the snow over the winter, my sister had to take over to see my mom because my niece missed her.
Klaudia, yeah for summer camp! That will be a nice break for you. Good luck grocery shopping today.
Kate, glad you have a calmer day on tap today.
Katie, glad to hear Collin is doing well at school. I hope you get a long maternity leave - it is too hard to go back after 6 weeks.
Nina, so glad to hear that finn is swimming. Glad you feel great today!
Anne, I love hearing about TCB. I can't believe it is recital time for you already. Have fun at tap tonight.
 
I get so behind in checking in late morning!

NIna, Congrats to FInn!!! Thats awesome!
GLad you're avoiding the FD! Trying to here too!

Klaudia, All this talk of MM has me wanting to do it! I'm kind of in a funk today - hoping a WO will pull me out of it!
Tht's so nice you got some time with your big girl!

Becky, Nice WO! And you deserrve LOTS of g'ma praise!

Anne, We are DEF satying in today! I did get outside to vacuum the Durango between raindrops tho! Nice to have the a/c off!!!
Would you believe we've never been to a Lugnuts game?!
You'll do great at your recital!

Colleen, Sorry youre not feeling well! Hope Thai goes good!

bbl.....
 
WO done! I did 4DS LIS plus the finished combo from HIS. Also STS no-equip abs and CS Hip Flexibility.

The rest of the day WILL be a good one!

CHOOSE JOY!

colleen, sorry about the sinus headache. i hope work goes okay for you.

yoga done, and man was it hard today. great time at the pool this am, and finn was such a star. hoping it does not thunder this aftrnoon so we can swim with the neighbors. it is hot, but everyone here says it is nothing compared to how bad it will get:( i am looking forward to fall!
 
Nina, Thunder = LOVE! I love a good storm! Just as long as everyone is safe!:)
