Oops, that's what I get for being so long winded any typing so much!!
Here's what I've got going on today!
B cereal
S half sandwich
L fiesta bowl
S fruit -- apple slices and banana
D lasagna <----nervous about this one!
W/O will be GS BBS. I am getting my new DVDs today, so I will probably start that tomorrow. I am also itching to do some legs, so I may throw in some lunges and squats for good measure.
I have to go back in to work from 7:30 to 9:30 pm tonight to drug screen a class (about 15 people), so I will be up later than normal tonight. Hopefully the excitement of the new workouts will help me drag my tired butt out of bed anyway!
Check in later!

Another busy day scheduled for me today...but when aren't they busy. I get to work at DDs prschool today. Twelve 3-yo's...lots of fun. At "journal time" they say the GREATEST things...makes me wonder what mine says about our fam!
Hoping to grocery shop this afternoon, but I don't want to be gone when the UPS man comes! Hmm..groceries or Cathe?
b - 2-Nutrigrain waffle and an apple
s - will be at preschool. Not sure
l - salad w/ grilled chicken
s - ??
d - kids are asking for spag & meatballs. I won't eat the noodles. I put my sauce over cut-up fresh red and green peppers. Fam will want fresh homemade bread...very hard to resist eating this, but will try.
Workout - WHICH ONE TO DO FIRST?! Maybe HIStep?! I think I read that Cathe uses 25 lbs. for chest flies?! Oh my! I can do a few with 20's but I think 25s would rip my arm off! She's amazing. And if she's doing 25s on camera, imagine what she can really use for her own workouts! I'm in awe & inspired.
Well, hope you're feeling inspired / motivated / ready for a CLEAN LEAN day! "Make it a good one!"

Good morning, Katie? I wondered if we would post at the same time today!
What is a fiesta bowl? Taco salad? Don't be nervous about the lasagna. Just have a portion-controlled amount and eat a great big salad w/ it. Are you making it? When I make one I use very lean ground beef and my cheese is low-fat. But if you're going out to eat...good luck! THere are 2 places in town that make the most wonderful las....I never order it anymore because I'd imagine they make it as unclean as possible. I miss Italian.....
You really like the GS's don't you?
BTW, What is you job? I'm guessing with an attorney's office?
See you later!

Good Morning Ladies and Merry Christmas....my 4-day is coming today also.
High Int. step good plan Colleen I think I going to check each one out first and wait for the Nov rotation to see what Cathe has in plan, too.
Katie (LOL :7 ) many time I've fallen asleep while my kids and dog ran the house. In fact my kids are 10 1/2 and 13 and sometimes they still run the house.
Kate I'm like you, I don't want to miss the UPS man and 25# DB I don't even have.....hhhhmmm I wonder if I can run to Modells pick up the DBs and be back in time for the UPS man..... :+ maybe I should just wait.
Steph D how your vacation, I hope that you can chat online.
Hello to everyone else.
My w/o today Tracy Kickboxing
b- kashi
s- mix nuts and yogurt
l- chicken and salad
d- pasta whole grain and chicken (I'm going to turn into a chicken soon)
Yesterday I slip and ate some fig newtons...I saw that they were only 100 cal each...shame on me.
Someone asked me how to make Spanish Chicken. Very easy put the chicken pieces into a large pot with olive oil and brown quickly each side, add seasonings, green peppers onions garlic, etc. Depending on how much chicken, add 2 cups of water and 2 cups of tomato sauce. I also add olives and Goya Sazon seasonings(red coloring). Just stew the chicken until done.
I think I need to buy some fish. What is your favorite fish ladies?

Robin - It is like Christmas isn't it?! DH made me count my Cathes. The new ones today will make 39...and somehow I still want more. He was not impressed!
I'm sure Cathe's 1st rotation will inlcude lots of premixes - yay!
Good eats & workout today! I'm feeling kind of chicken overloaded too.
Fig newtons? Who gives a fig? The w/o you did and running after 2 busy kids will take care of those!
Fish? Yuck. The only way I've had it that I like it is deep-fried and I haven't had that in years. Would love some good recommendations...that won't stink up my house!
How's the water intake girls? Proud to say mine is sky-high. Maybe too much. I'm on the pot ALL THE TIME. More than when I was pregnant it seems! Yikes! Maybe I am PG!? NOT! I adore my girls, but I am definetly done.
See ya!

Kate, LMAO at being on the "pot" all the time!! My water intake is decent, could be better.
I work for VASAP -- Virginia Alcohol Safety Action Program. We are a court-ordered alcohol and drug rehab. program. We are also probationary, which is why I am doing the drug screening tonight. I also appear in court several times per month for the folks in my caseload who can't behave themselves!
I actually have court again today, so I will get the nice 1 mile walk in this afternoon. Today's court is for people who haven't had a driver's license in many years (usually due to several DUIs). They petition the courts to get their license back.
The lasagna tonight is Stouffer's -- DF loves it. I figure since I will be up late and active tonight, it's a good time to fix it. I will have a small portion and a BIG bowl of broccoli.
I do really like the gym styles -- getting great results with them. I just received them about a month ago, so I am using them a lot. I will probably go thru October with them, then switch to the weights on the 4-day split.
Have a good one ladies, i'll check back in at lunch time!

Good Morning!
WOW, you've been busy this morning! I did a little better yesterday and I plan on doing even better today! My water intake has been great. Ok, I have a question; Why have you decided to eat clean and/or tidy? I decided to do so b/c I feel better physically and mentally when I know I am fueling my body with good food. I also would like to lose those last few pounds and I know cleaning up my eating will help. Your turn!
I did Core Cardio this morning(Tracie Long). My recovery week is going well. I wonder when I'll get my new workouts.
I'll be back with personals. I have to get ready to take my DS to the orthodontist.

Hi Everyone!
Busy morning but I just wanted to say hi.
Robin - thanks for the Spanish chicken recipe
Shirl - I started trying to eat clean because I got very sick a couple years ago. I did some research and realized that even though my diet didn't cause my illness, it wasn't helping me to stay healthy. Since then I have made gradual changes to clean up my diet.
I will check back later with more personals!
BTW I did Low intensity step, calves, shoulders and abs today. Good workout!
Colleen

Katie - Sounds like you have an interesting job. It must be frustrating sometimes seeing all of the repeat offenders. (We have one in our family....)
Your fiesta bowl sounds yummy - homemade or take-out?
Shirl - Clean eating: Pretty much same as you. Apart from overall health being better I notice little things too. My nails are harder. I, um (TMI alert), am more "regular".... Even menstrual cramps aren't nearly as bad. Although nothing I'm sure of it will completely get rid of "Day 3 Cramps" Happens every time to me and my sis. Anyone else?
Colleen & Robin - I'm so jealous you have your workouts! I'm actually NOT going to get grocerie because I'm waiting for UPS! My dogs are outdoors and if the UPS man comes while I'm gone he'll do one of 2 things:
1 - Leave the box on the porch and the dogs will eat it before I get back. (This happened once w/ a very expensive pair of shoes. The dog is lucky she's alive. I chased her around the house screaming at her carrying my shoe!)
2 - They are great danes. Sometimes we get a driver that is scared of them and they'll take the package and return another day. How much would tht suck!?
Well, I'm off to sit on the front porch!
