Klaudia, how was your anniversary last night??
Morris, when I broke my foot, I really wasn't an exerciser so I can't speak to that. But I was off of crutches and into a boot within 3 weeks I think.
Colleen, I feel you on the busy meeting wednesdays. I can't stand wednesdays. Hope today is better!
Kate, did you get some fresh produce yet? Happy One Month to baby Julia!
Angie, how are you feeling today? Gonna try to hit the gym?
Anne, my day off on tuesday was amazing, thanks for asking!!
Robin, are you enjoying KBs?
Today at work I am scheduled to see NO CLIENTS so that's good. I am doing a file review, so it's a good chance to (finally, hopefully) get caught up!
Gotta get going, bbl.............

Morning
Y-day was busy. Klaudia no pudge bs sound good. What type pull up bar do you have?
Morrris ColleenAngieAnne thanks for asking. I've just started with k-bells. So far it very different than regular d-bells because there is a technique to it. I'm plan to do cardio and k-bells for Nov and Dec to get ready for STS. This way when we start STs comes in the mail. I won't be bored with weight training. The main adv when using k-bells is that you only need one or two. Y-day I used my 15# k-bell and boy I can feel it in my back, arms thighs and shoulders. I think I may do one of Cathe weight training per week.
Angie I agree muscle definition comes from how you eat. Body builders diet like crazy a few weeks before competition. They eat very little carbs and no fats (no even olive oil). At the time I don't think they care much about their hearts, they just want to win.
Anne congrats on the new computer.
Kate YAY you were able to w/o y-day
My w/o today will be Cardio Hits Step Works and k-bell core with Amy
b-salsa and egg whites (thanks Kate)
l-left overs
d-casserole with ground turkey pasta and cheese

Morning, everyone! Not much to report today. I did Timesaver workout #2 last night and it was great. My cardio capacity has suffered, too, from not working out for about a month. I'm sure it'll come back, I just have to be consistent. If I could just get up in the morning and get it done before work, but I'm *such* a sleepyhead that I stay in bed. Sigh. I'll keep trying, though, and get back in the early AM habit. Especially with the holidays coming up I need to get back on the bandwagon.
Katie, good luck getting caught up today. I need to do that, too.
Kate, you are brave if you're going to go to Meijer with two little ones. Do you go to the one on the west side? I was there the other night, but don't go often. DH hates crowds and that one is usually busy when we're available for grocery shopping. But, we needed a plate or something for the microwave and decided to try there. I was making microwave popcorn not long ago and the glass dish in the bottom cracked in half! It was the second time it happened, so we decided to go with a cheap alternative. We'll see how it works. I haven't tried to make popcorn again yet. Thanks for asking about the fam--everybody seems to be doing okay.
Morris, how did you break your foot? I hope it heals quickly.
Klaudia, did you make that frittata last night?
Colleen, Tuesday is my busy meeting day. I never feel like I get anything done on Tuesdays. I hate that.
Robin, your kettlebells sound so cool, I'm definitely going to investigate them some more. I just can't justify buying more stuff right now, but the holidays are coming, right?
Angie, I hope you're doing okay. When do you and the kids go to France?
Okay, I have to get some work done. Talk to you later.

Hi Everyone,
Well today was supposed to be quiet but then it was filled with meetings. I have a long meeting that I just need to listen in this afternoon so hopefully I can get some work done and get out of here a little early tonight.
Katie, enjoy your quiet day today.
Kate, a night without kids. Enjoy!
Robin, thanks for the feedback on the kettlebells. I think I will try them after STS. How do you make your turkey casserole?
Anne, I am a sleepyhead too but if I don't work out in the morning I probably won't work out.
Hi Klaudia, Anne & Morris!
w/o was Hi/Lo Knockout, Coremax seg 1
b: oatmeal w/ almonds
BBL with rest of menu!

Good morning!
Getting ready to go to Nevena's class. Today is my rest day. I think I'm gonna walk on the treadmill later though-indulged in ice cream with crushed Oreo's and syrup with the girls last night!
Katie, my actual anniversary is on Saturday. And from the looks of the weather, I may be a "Snow Widow" that night. DH will have to go out and salt/plow if we have any accumulation. Ah, well. We'll make it up somehow I love the cardio premix on BM2. I haven't stepped in a while. I'm going to add it back in after my 5k next month.
Kate, Have fun on your date One kid is better than three, that's for sure. I've done the Meijer thing with all three in tow-not a good time! I've come to the conclusion that shopping is best done alone-it's like a date with myself
Robin, my DH built us a pull up bar from an extra barbell! He mounted 2x4's in the studs of the basement ceiling. Cheap, but it works.
Anne, keep it up! I wish I could get up in the am, too. But, no. I console myself with the fact that studies show it's better for your body to workout in the late afternoon/early evening cause your body temp is optimal then. And I did make the frittata. I added broccoli, spinach, mushrooms, zucchini, and onions, and 2% shredded cheddar-so good and relatively healthy.

I know what you mean Annie the holidays are just around the cornor. And oh no Thanksgiving is just 2 weeks away. I need to lose 5# before that day. So that's my new goal. Who with me?
I could not pick up the k-bell today so after the cardio I di Amy ASC3 resistance tubing core work. I had the wrong sneakers on and kept snapping myself with the tubing.

It is cold and rainy here today -- I may have some hot tea when I get back to the office!

kate, glad you skipped the store. have fun tonight!
katie, i love bm2 - scrambled is my fav.
robin, i'd like to drop 5 but it is probably too much for me - i will settle for 3!
klaudia, great idea for the pull ups.
anne, i am a morning exercise addict - i can run 10 miles in the am (when i do not have a broken foot!), but would struggle with 5 in the afternoon. you gotta do what works, though. i am trying to be flexible right now until i can do more impact cardio as cannot go swim at 5 am and leave my little ones.
okay, must go pick up kiddos - wish me luck with my crutches. also, must keep it clean for the rest of the day as i cannot undo what i have done

Afternoon everyone... you guys were chatty today!
I DID IT! I made it to the gym and did a triple cardio class. I was done about 45 minutes in when she started doing tuck jumps. I started feeling dizzy and had to stop but it was a great WO. Will try to figure something out for tomorrow too. Eats have been so-so. I went to the grocery store to buy a few cleaner/lower fat things and had a lean cuisine today for lunch and having a soft preztel for a snack (vast improvement from pizza and cookies!).
Thanks to everyone who's asking how I'm doing. Things are good. I miss Ryan and can't believe he's only been gone 5 out of 16 days! We leave as a family on Nov 30 but he comes back on the 25th.
Katie, glad you're having a productive day. I miss BM2. Can't wait to get my Cathe workouts back! We are going to have a WO room in our new house which I'm so pumped about!
Kate, I don't blame you for not braving meijer. I had to shop with both girls today and I have never had to shop wtih kids in crummy weather so this was a new one for me! YUCK!
Robin, I'm glad you're liking your kettelbell workouts. I'm totally up for losing 5# before Tgiving! I'm not sure I can do it but I'll try. I'll have to weigh myself tomorrow... no clue what I weigh!
Anne, I struggle with working out in the AM too. But I also can't do it at the end of the day - 9 AM is about perfect for me and I figure that will work out well once my kids are in school in France!
Colleen, you are always so busy! I hope you get a rest soon. I'm glad you had that vacation!
Klaudia, I'm glad you had a happy anniversary dinner and splurged! Sound fun! Your frittata sounds good. I can't wait to cook again!
Morris, I am a TOTAL stress eater. It's horrible. Especially when it's TTOM! Your "stress eating" is way better than mine though! I didn't see any cheetos or hohos in there!
Well, I'm going to try to figure out what I'm going to do at the gym tomorrow!
Have a great rest of the day!

I'm here! Just got back from picking up Danica from dance. And she's still dancing Had chili lime salmon with roasted aparagus and and sweet potato-yum. And the fish was marinated and frozen, but it was really good.
Angie, great job on the workout! The end of the month will be here before you know it:0If it makes you feel any better, I don't know anyone who ISN'T a stress eater or a boredom eater.
Kate, where'd you go on you date? How was Julia?
Morris, take heart. Every meal is a chance to eat clean(er). And from the looks of your menu, it really isn't as bad as you think. Hope your day got better.
Gonna go decompress. The girls have a 1/2 day tomorrow-wish me luck!
