~~~~~~~~Clean & Tidy Sat~~~~~~~~~~~

[Jazcam]

Good morning peeps. What new?

I have bad news the sears repairman came yesterday and stayed 5 minutes he told me that to replace the broken parts will cost $400 . I told him that the oven only cost $500!!!

Anyway he did show me where the holes were....my mom had a oven for 20 years and it never had holes. These fancy self-cleaning mumbojumbo appliances are not worth beans. So now I will replace this oven with a simple oven for about $400. I will have to before the holidays


Wow Cathe has pre-orders, so does Amy and Tracey....hhhhmmmm maybe I can start saving for the oven next month LOL

What's your eating plans for today Kate, Katie, Shirl, Beavs, Steph D?
b- coffee smoothie (first day of Girl Scouts)
s- fruit pizza
l-?
s- early dinner of crab legs and veggies
s- popcorn or seeds

w/o Low Max. Yesterday I did not eat clean nor tidy.

Good Morning,

Ok, so I haven't been eating clean this week, but I am tidying(is that a word?) up my eating. A lot has been going on this week and I guess I am an emotional eater and it's TTOM as well. I know, excuses, excuses.

Robin, I'm sorry about your oven. I hope you find a nice oven on sale! They do not seem to make appliances that are built to last like they did years ago. My DH bought the larabar, it was apple and I liked it. I don't know if they have chocolate.

Stehanie, I am a certified personal trainer and group fitness instructor. I'm also certified in Turbo Kick and PiYo. I teach a variety of classes. Yesterday, I taught a bodyweight bootcamp class and worked with some clients. Today, I teach Turbo Kick. It's a fun class and I look forward to teaching it.

Hi Kate, Katie and Beavs!

b-egg whites w/homemade salsa
s-ezekiel toast w/natural pb
l-tuna & spinach salad
s-almonds & homemade applesauce(no sugar added)
d-we may go out to eat!
A friend in fitness,
Shirl

Hi Robin, Shirl, and all clean and tidy friends to follow,

Robin, i'm so sorry about the stove, i hear ya though. I always laugh when the repair is more than the appliance! I got a table from my mother in law, its lovely, but needs to be re-finished. I called some places, and they were going to charge about $700!! Its not worth that! So i'm going to try to refinish it myself, not much else to do with this back!

Shirl, what a great job! I'm glad you enjoy it. I might ask your advice when my back gets going again, in terms of easing back into a routine.

Well, today i managed to do some light stretching and very very gentle core work. That sciatic nerve just wont let up!!
Went for a walk as well, raked some leaves....trying to keep busy!

I will post menu's later, send me good vibes!!! No work out + eating lots of food = bad disaster! and i'm worse on weekends

Shirl and Robin, i'll send ya good vibes back too!

Kate, Beavs, Colleen, everyone else, hope to see you over the weekend checking in
Steph

Good afternoon everyone!

Robin - I am so sorry about your stove. I hate having to rush out and buy something just because it broke.
Shirl - you have my dream job. I don't have the natural ability to find the beat so it would be really tough.
Steph - I am sorry you are still in pain.

w/o was GS C&T, IMAX3 Step only
b: kashi w/ banana
l: salad, coucous
d: fondue at in-laws

Have a great day!

Hello Robin, Shirl, Steph, & Trixie!

Clean? NOT! Tidy? NOT!
It started with pancakes for breakfast. I wasn't even going to have 1 because once you start you can't stop. Well, I started and I didn't stop. I had 4. 4! For pete's sake. They weren;t huge, but when you go from 0 to 4...

lunchtime was great.

dinner....why even bother posting!? pizza. 2 modest slices w/ lots of veggies and fruit on the side. BUt then came the brownies. So good, so bad.

Needless to say me belly is HUMUNGOUS! I did do Power Hour but I had to use such light weights - so mad at myself. I used to be able to lift 2x what I did tonight. It feels like I "recommit" every other stinkin' day! After preg #2 I lost weight so easy and got so ripped. Now I'm just kinda normal and I HATE IT! Maybe I should just go around in my underwear - that'll keep me from eating!
:+ :+ :+

Robin - Sorry about your stove! Personally I would love for mine to die so I could get the Viking I'm lusting after! Sorry for your untidy day yesterday. Did you get in as bad a mood about it as I just did?

Shirl - I am practically addicted to salsa. Care to share your recipe? The classes you teach sound like fun! Aspiring to be our next Cathe when she retires?! I've decided she'll never retire - hope she doesn't mind!

Steph - Keep up the good fight! You'll be back working out in no time! Hope the weekend eating goes good for you!

Trixie - Tell us about the fondue! My MIL makes it every year for Christmas. All of that cheese is enough to make me puke right there at the table. I always load up on the veggies and am the ONLY ONE who doesn't eat that slop. Hers isn't just cheese - it's this saturated fat nightmare. I love MIL to pieces, but the food.....

Well, here's to recomitting - for what that's worth! I bought a really pretty dress at JCrew today that will look awesome when I lose 5 pounds. I bought it to motivate myself. I lose weight from my belly first and actaully pretty easily when I really focus on it. My bday is at the end of the month. My goal is to wear it on a date night w/ DH and knock his socks off! Wish me luck!

Good night!!
