{@} {@} Clean & Tidy Tuesday {@} {@}

hi ladies, i am totally dragging over here and really need to pick myself up. my eating was atrocious this wkend and had to see the sil i love so much (insert sarcastic tone here). the weather has been yucky and that doesnt help. in the bathrm we finished sealing the grout, and put up the med cabinet and lights. also carried the sink up and placed it but need plumber to hook up, hopefully soon. i am so ready for this to be over! aaaaa!

oop, JJ is up from nap down the hall, bb soon for personals. for real this time.
 
katie, dont get fired on our account! lol! i didnt see your pics but with your awesome wo's cant imagine you look heavy...

robin, great strategy to get thru the wo!

colleen, bummer about work drama, that is something i do not miss.

klaudia, nice dress =) did you get shoes?

nina, glad you have dh back home. lol at it being so hot...we are in full-fledged fall over here!

kate, ITA with robin, a big brkfst is not a bad thing. bummer on dh working late. any routine change is hard on our kids, totally understand... good plan keeping them busy!

becky, yay for lifting heavy! dont you love when you do more than you thought you could??

angie, isnt it annoying how easily men lose lbs? they dont have the same hormones fighting their metabolism we do!
 
OMG kate, just saw those pics!!!! i would skip the cake and eat those chubby thighs!!!!! i just love her =) hope it was a great birthday.
 
Angie - My DH loses weight fast also, but he can also put on weight quickly too. He dropped 20 lbs in 6 weeks. He stopped Insanity though and went back to weights. He says he will start it up again next week. Congrats to you and Ryan for sticking through the program!

Katie - I think we tend to be our harshest critics. I'm sure on race day you will look and do fab.

Klaudia - That dress is hot! How's everything going? How's the Nutcracker schedule treating you?

Nina - Sorry about the job woes. It's going to be humid and muggy here this week also. I want to bake also though.

Kate - Ooooh, oatmeal muffins! Recipe by any chance, please? Have fun costume shopping! Are you going to dress up?

Wendy - My weekend was bad eating wise also, but now I'm determined to stay on track.

Colleen - Boo for work drama. I hope it all works out.

Robin - Yay for making it through the whole workout!

Becky - Pretzels aren't considered a cheat in my book unless they are buttered!

Kids are back in school so hoping for a peaceful day. So much to do though. Trying to plan out my meals so I don't stray. WO today is Insanity and shoulders. Did I tell you guys that I got my Halloween costume for P's party? I'm going to be a nun. Well, a modified nun. The dress is above the knees and I'll be wearing fake lashes. Still debating between heels or boots, but I'm thinking boots will be more comfy at the party. Anyway, off to search for some recipes then feed P then workout.

Can't bring kids - AGAIN!!!! :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: The resort allows them but the company that would be sending us doesn't. TO say I'm disappointed would be putting it VERY MILD.

Eats are on target. Need to start payroll so I'm not up all night doing it.

Colleen, Sorry for the WD. You're kind to not bother the preggo mama.
Hope your cold doesn't get worse! Doing core SUCKS when you don't feel well!

Katie, Don't get fired!!!:D IF IF IF your thighs looked big (and I hghly doubt they do!) it was no doubt all the muscle on em! You are a fit woman!!!

Wendy - re your SIL - at least you can pick your friends!:D Sorry eats went South... back on it today!
ROFL at eating Julia's thighs - they are definitely something to behold! All of our girls have been that way - nice and rolly and squishy and yummy!:D:D
How much longer on the bathroom?! You have been so patient!

Lisa, So are you like a stripper nun or something?!?!:p I'm probably dressing up. My beef w/ costumes is your either swimming in them or have to look like a slut. sigh.... I'll see what they have!
The muffin recipe is Mel's - I'm pretty sure its in the recipe section.
20#!!!!! AMAZING! Men......
Hope you have a good day!
 
okay. at least there is no emotional eating going on but, we got back from target and i was RAVENOUs. i ate a pb wrap (low carb ww), small bowl cereal, big apple, some carrots, and a prtein bar (yes, i know they are hideous, but it so hit the spot - 180cals). and for a snack this am i had had a low fat cheese stick, piece of fruit, and some turkey jerky(yes, it isn't the cleanest, i know). i way way over ate, but i honestly was so hungry. luckily i did not munch mindlessly, but, what can i say? i am a bit disappointed in myself. i did just finish pub - both gs premixes seemed too daunting. i am wiped out i think. so, please do not kick me out of here:(

kate, i love aidan's chub too. it is disappearing so fast, though, lol. why won't the company allow kids? is the thought of a vacation alone with mike so awful?;) i am not ready for that, plus there is no one competent to watch the kiddos, but, an overnight would be so so great! great job with the eats.

lisa, good for you for dressing up! butter covered pretzels? make mine peanut!

klaudia, i am positively drooling over that dress. can i borrow it sometime? not sure i could zip the top over my torso, though:( you will look amazing. i hope you and darrin get some time together tonight. i hope he is being really supportive. yea for doms!

colleen, hoep your cold gets better quick.

wendy, hope the bath is done really really quick. gotta love the family relations, for sure (oozing sarcasm)

katie, do not get fired!:p

going to read a few pages of my book. wish i had the energy for insanity, but alas, i do not!
 
House is vacuumed. Dinner's in the crock pot-creamy chicken and broccoli. Hope it turns out! Nevena's napping on the couch so I'm going to head down for my workout. Still don't know which one!

Colleen, sorry about the bad day. Hope you feel better!

Robin, good job pushing through! Is the bean soup homemade?

Katie, don't get caught!;)

Wendy, don't let the sil get to you. One of mine has driven me crazy before so I can relate. The finished product is so close! Can't wait to see it and be inspired:) No shoes yet-going tonight. Need some killer stilettos;)

Lisa, I can't wait to see pics of that costume!! I've seen a peggo nun but not a cheeky one! Nutcracker is crazy busy. This weekend is 10-12 then 1-3 and 3-3:45! And the teachers are trying to wrangle us into dancing in the party scene:eek: No way! I'd need alcohol and Xanax to get near the stage!

Kate, what a bummer! You positive on not going childfree? You guys deserve a break! I only have one costume and it's a hoochy pirate that I wore with boots and fishnets:eek: But it was an adults only party:)
 
Nina, I will send you that dress in a heartbeat! It'll totally fit you! We're built the same:) Darrin's really trying-poor guy. He's dealing with my hypo and pms and NO SEX and now I'm taking him shopping-ha! What are you reading?
 
Quick drive by--it's meeting madness Tuesday in my world. I had a meeting from 8:30-9:45; 10:30-12:30 and another at 2:30. Ugh. How am I supposed to get any *work* done? I guess I'm not.

But my sister is visiting my parents this week and she's bringing my mom to town. We're having dinner with my brother, my aunt and my aunt's grandkids, then we're taking my mom to see my new condo. My aunt won't come because she doesn't want to drive in the dark, but at leas my mom will get to see it. Then my mom and sister will stay over at my aunt's house. That's one advantage of not having a furnished guest room--no place for guests! I love my sister, of course, but she makes me crazy.

I'll try to bb for personals, but please don't be mad if I don't get it done until tomorrow.

NIna, I would LOOOOOVE a vacation alone with Mike! BUt I would imagine Julia will still be nursing then and it wouldn't be fair to leave her for so long. I'm sure there will be another trip but it's like JEEZ! 2 trips in a year we can't go on!
NOT TO ENABLE....but....With as much exercise as you do I don't think your food is out of line.
Enjoy your book time!

Klaudia, Probably shouldn't try to pull off the pirate costume taking the kiddos out!:p
Vacuum - don't remind me!

Anne, Meetin gmadness for sure!
Hope all the company stuff goes well!
No worry on personals!:)
 
Kate - Bummer on the trip! LOL about stripper nun. No fishnet stockings or anything of the like. Wouldn't that be appropriate for a kids' party!!!??? :p I know what you mean about the costumes though. I bought a size too big and the skirt was still short for me. I can't imagine how short it would be on a person the real size.

Klaudia - You are crazy busy woman! I was just telling DH that I should have worn this costume last year and be a pg nun, lol. I hear you about being on stage. My DH on the other hand would be happily volunteering to be on stage! What was the wo for the day?

Nina - Your eats are not that bad, really. You have dinner to reign in if you're feeling guilty, but you work out so hard and eat well 99% of the time. I wouldn't sweat it.

Anne - My sister drives me crazy too!

Bfast was oatmeal pancakes. I had one small piece and was super full. Snack will be yogurt and flaxseed. Lunch will be salad. Dinner is squash and chix. P is napping so I'm going to work then go to run some errands. Workout will be done when DH gets up (worked overnight last night) and then off to take the kids to practice.

Robin, I'm doing the October rotation. Not a full STS rotation. I'm anxious to do another 3 month rotation but also loving the difference of the Oct. rotation.

Today was SUPPOSED to be a nice, sunny day. Instead it's cloudy and in the mid 50's. blah.
 
Yay! Workout is done-30 minutes of incline intervals on the treadmill. Gotta shower and get ready for my "date":)
 
Lisa YAY for piece ops I mean peace:eek: good menu too

Kate DAG that's messed up!!!

Becky I so want to do that rotation too.


Anne HAHA :D not having a furnished guest room would never stop my family from sleeping over.

Klaudia no I cheated. I open a can of hopin john, rinsed in water and then warmed up in low sodium broth.

Nina great long w/o and no one gets kicked out of clean and tidy...not this close to the holidays anyway

My DD is in driver ed this afternoon.:eek: Oh noooooooo
 
Robin - What is hopin john?
Klaudia - Yay for getting in your wo. Have fun on your date!
Becky - I'll take a little bit of the cool down in exchange for our humidity! Bleh!

Eats are spot on again today! Had a chix salad sandwich for lunch and string cheese and few raw nuts for a snack. Will probably eat an orange then do my wo. Not sure which Insanity is on for today.

Lisa
 
We skipped our WO tonight. We are both tired and mentally drained. Mike worked really late too. Will do tonight's WO tmrw during the day.

Didn't find a costume for me - will try another place tmrw

Lisa, WTG on clean eats! Feels so good, doesn't it?!

Becky, Blah weather here too. I want summer back!

Klaudia, Hope it went well tonight!

Robin, I cannot even fathom my DDs in drivers ed! Good luck, mama!
 
Kate - Rest up! I did that over the weekend and my wo's feel so much more productive when I do them mentally and physically rested. Yes, it feels great!

Finished Insanity and a little bit of shoulders. Not enough time to do a full shoulder wo plus Insanity and the heat is knocking my eagerness out! Off to take the kiddies to practice.
