Good morning girls,

Gotta study while girls are at school but wanted to get us started. WO this morning was GS C&T. I have decided to stop trying to coordinate with the muscle groups for STS and just do them how they are in the video. I'm tired of changing them around. So, I just did C&T how it is. Those push ups are brutal! Although, I know it's nothing compared to Meso 1...

Anyway, I have another exam on Thursday so I need to spend a lot of time this week studying. Otherwise, things are good. Had a great day with Ryan and his mom is coming to visit this Friday so I need to start preparing for that.

Have a great day everyone! Keep it clean!
 
Angie - Those push-ups are brutal! I love that wo though. Thinking of doing that one myself. How long is your mil staying?

Getting ready to go to bed. One more day of single parenting then DH comes home. He gets home on his bday so we're making a baked Alaska cake. Never made one, but he asked for it so hoping it turns out okay. See you guys in the morning!
 
Angie, Glad things are going well! Is MIL coming w/ her bags loaded w/ USA stuff?:D

Lisa, I have a recipe for Baked Alaska but I've never made it - looks good! Sounds like its gone well w/ DH being gone - good job, mama!

-
Yesterday was wonderful, hoping today is too! WO was Squeeze Stronger UB and CS UB. Today will be cardio/CS/LB - just gotta figure out what and when!:) Eats weren't awful yday but not stellar either.

Clintonya, Glad you made it home safe! How did the comp go?
DrBecky, Your Wos are amazing!
Anne, You are moving fast w/ TCB!:D I'm excited for you!

gotta run....bbl....

Katie!!!! Everything ok, girl???!!?!!!
 
Good Morning Girls !!!

Angie, you are so focused ! Probably why you are such a good student ! :)

Lisa, I've never made Baked Alaska either- can't wait to hear how it turns out for you !

Kate, Is today another busy day for you ? I hope you can slow down and get out in the pretty weather for a bit.

Yesterday it was 61 here and I had a nice long , HILLY walk with my son. It felt amazing outside !!! Same forecast for today ,but I'm not sure if it's going to be sunny or not. If it's not rainy I will get out and enjoy it for sure !!!

Today is cardio and clean eats ! :)

Glad you are back Clintonya :) and Dr. Becky- we missed you both !

I'll bbl ! Becky
 
Becky, Go get that cardio, girl!:D I HAVE TO make time to get outside today! I hear it's going to rain for about a week starting tomorrow.

Just finished 3 miles - pales in comparison to Dr Becky and Nina but it's good for me for 6AM!:p Ready to take on the day!

Gina's 8th bday party is on Friday (*actual bday Monday) and I have a lot to do for that this week. Making up some meatballs today - hope my ClingOn cooperates!:D
 
good morning everyone. i slept in and it was great.

angie, you are so diligent. hope the visit is fun, and gs c and t is hard work!

becky, i hope the rain stays away.

kate, did yuou really run 3 miles this am? fantastic!!

hi lisa - good luck with the baked alaska. what is it? glad dh is coming home - i am jealous.

plan today is good eats - yday turned out okay despite the nut misshap. today will be great. wo will be a run later and some yoga or disc 11, depending how i feel after my run. bbiab
 
Hey ladies! Please know that even if I don't always check in, I am reading about y'all and still love ya!

I am in a bit of a c&t/exercise rut. I haven't worked out in I'm-not-even-going-to-say-how-long, and I am ashamed. Part of it was because of all this sickness, and part is pure laziness. I set my alarm this morning and then slept thru it.

Chris is gone for the week for a work training, so that doesn't help my mood. I don't know how some of you ladies do it without your DH. Today is supposed to be really nice - mid 60s. I would really love an outdoor run, but have no childcare, so I don't know...

Please forgive my bad behavior...
 
good morning, SO SO SORRY for being MIA. we had family in town for a big sweet 16 for my niece and the whoe thing just turned out to be more consuming than I thought it would be.

katie, sorry for the funk. do you have a neighbor who could watch collin so you could run? or could you set up a playdate for him today?

nina, glad you got to sleep in =) hope you had a great time with your friend!

kate, did i miss that you are a runner now??!! what else are you making for the party? does the bday girl get to pick?

becky, hooray for nice weather! we have had fantastic days here as well.

angie, C&T is tough! all those pushups I couldnt make it through... and still it was tough for even without those! how are the little ladies?

lisa, i think i missed that your dh was away too. its never easy and its just about over!! baked alaska sounds yum =)
 
My eats have not been wonderful and I will not list them here.

workouts have been decent:
Thurs - 25 mins ellip, nautilus machines mostly lb plus shldrs, then yoga class
Fri - 4 mile stroller walk
Sat - KB class (my elbow felt GREAT! I missed this class!) plus 2 miles with stroller
Sun - 3 mile stroller walk and 30 mins yoga
Mon - step class and 2 miles with stroller

on tap for today - elliptical and nautilus. still no power class for me, unfortunately.
 
1 off to school, 1 to go, and Julia is totally cranky!:eek::eek::eek: She's getting soooo frustrated she can't talk. I work with her on saying words but she's being stubborn!:p

Nina, Nuts - my enemy!:p Have great WOs today!

Katie, We love you too. Sorry for the funk. Hope your cloud lifts soon!

Wendy, Nice Wos, sorry 'bout the eats.
Making some sticky wings from cooks and she wants hot dogs (eeeeeew!). Will do some fruit/veggies too. And cake o'course! She wants me to make a fondant hummingbird ontop! Where does she come up with this stuff!!?!?! She always dreams up the craziest things for me to make her her cakes!
 
Pyramid Hiit is done ! Whew ! I always feel like I've accomplished something BIG when I do that one !!!
I know some of you do all three Hiits back to back, but if I tried that, an ambulance would be involved, I'm SURE !!!:p

Kate- Jackson (who is right around J's age) is going through the same thing. He's not saying many words but jabbers non stop. He loves to call me and "talk" on the phone !!!! but when he really wants something he gets so frustrated ! Poor little guy ! And poor Mommy too ! They'll get it soon though, hang in there .;)

Sunny for most of the day and low 60's again ! I am SUCH a spring/summer person . BRING IT ON !!!!!!!!!:cool::D

Becky
 
Good morning everyone!

Well the repairman is supposed to show up today and finally fix my stove. I am so excited to finally have that burner back. It has been a challenge. Today's workout was Seasun Zieger's Step. I was going to run but we had about 4 fire trucks and 2 police cars in my neighborhood. I did not want to deal with all that drama. I guess it was nothing because they left pretty quickly.

Lisa, we are talking about going to the beach this weekend. The weather is supposed to be terrible but we just want to get away.
Clintonya, glad you were able to get out and workout over the weekend. I bet it is a challenge with the dance competitions.
Becky, Pyramid Hiit is a toughie for sure.
Kate, sorry J is so frustrated right now. She will get it soon. ^5 on the run this morning.
Katie, sorry about the funk. We all go through it at some point. Hopefully the nice weather will help you get rid of it.
Wendy, it sounds like your elbow is getting better. Yeah!
Nina, glad yesterday turned out okay.
Angie, I think C&T is harder with the pushups because you do them all at once.
 
Quick drive by, it's Meeting Madness Tuesday for me. But, guess who called me this morning? Oh, yes, it was TCB and we're making plans for his arrival on Thursday. I can't wait to see him, we're going to have such fun.

I'll bb for personals, I promise!

Oh, I did want to tell you I did Disc 22 on Sunday, Disc 23 last night and I'll finish up Meso 2 with Disc 24 tonight. Then no more works outs until at least 3/21. I have to get this toe healed up!

anne
 
Good morning!

Angie, glad you & Ryan had a great day! Good luck w/your exam :)

Lisa, glad your dh is almost home :) I am sure the cake will be delicious!

Kate, great workouts yesterday. They did great, got a platinum and 2 hi-golds! Have fun w/the b-day prep, that is always so much fun!!

Nina, glad you got to sleep in today! Have a great run! Sorry your dh is delayed again, it must be so hard to be expecting him and then it has to get pushed back.

Becky, thanks, I missed you all too! Those are great results for you and your dh!

Katie, hope you feel better soon. You’ve had a lot going on so just give yourself some time :)

Wendy, hope your niece had a great sweet 16! Great job w/the workouts esp. on the weekend!

Colleen, I know you will be glad to get the stove done with! Thanks, it is hard to keep up with the sched changes. At least now we will be back on regular sched.

Anne, I read the great news about TCB coming to visit :D I know you are excited :D Great job on finishing meso 2 and hope your toe heals quickly!!

Klaudia, hope Milla is feeling better today!

Becky Sue, great job on keeping up w/the rotation w/your sched! I saw the photos of Zoey on fb, she is so cute!

Will bbl this evening!

Clintonya
 
Okay, why is nothing easy? Oh, right, that's just life. My sister called (she never calls me at work) and it turns out my dad couldn't find my mother's medicine this morning. So my dad went to the pharmacy to get more pills, and the pharmacy called their doctor's office, because they were concerned. Their doctor's office, in turn, called my sister to tell her they're sending in social workers to evaluate whether or not my parents can still stay in their house on their own. Ugh. Luckily, my sister talked the doctor out of that and asked him to give us the rest of the week to deal with it as a family. He agreed. She and I discussed it and we think what needs to happen is for my dad to let some kind of caregiver come in twice a day to make sure they get their medicines. The last time something like this happened it was because my dad had the flu and once he recovered he was fine again. But I saw him on Saturday and while he was physically unsteady his mind was pretty clear. My sister's going to go stay with them for the long weekend and see what she thinks is going on. My brother may go over for his weekly visit as well. I feel guilty, but I told my sister TCB is coming and I don't want to leave the city where I live this weekend. She said that was fine b/c I do so much and she does very little (b/c she lives in PA). I think if we tell my dad he has get more help or leave his house he'll accept more help. You know, threats, they always work, right? ;)

Anyway, sorry to dump on you all.

Clintonya, welcome back! Your girls did a great job!

Colleen, is your stove fixed yet? That would make me crazy.

Becky, isn't this warmer weather and sunshine glorious? It's not quite as sunny here today, but it is really lovely. I'm looking forward to spring.

Kate, I know you'll do a great job on the cake. Are you getting outside today?

Wendy, have you been to your groove class? I'm glad your niece's party turned out so well.

Katie, it's not bad behavior, please don't say that. Remember how much time I took off? No one kicked me out of this group, did they? We're here to support you in whatever way you need. And remember, we love you too.

Nina, sorry your DH is delayed. :( I was planning to get Meso 2 off to you this week, but I don't think that's going to happen. I should be able to get in the mail next week, tho. Sorry about that!

Lisa, good job doing the single parent thing! I know it can't be easy.

Angie, how is your studying going?

Yoo hoo, Robin? Robin? Robin? Where are ya, girl?

Hi DrBecky!

Okay, off to run errands at lunch soon. I need to go to Target. bbiab

anne
 
hey everyone. clean lunch done, and 10 miles done! i cannot wait for yoga later. will do weights tomorrow - not enough energy today. the boys asre such fun today. we have a mini trampoline and i took it outside for some fun for them.

anne, so sorry about your parent situation. but please please, no guilt this weekend. your folks have help, you can take a break. and no worries on meso 2 - i will just repeat a week of meso 1 perhaps!

clintonya, you must be so proud of your girls!! how is it being back at work?

wendy, no worries on the eats, just back on the wagon today!!! and great wos. how is the arm?

katie, i am sorry for the funk. just an idea, but maybe try some short different wos at night to get back into it? like a premix or some kickboxing?

kate, busy girl for sure! and a hummingbird on the cake? you go!

becky, enjoy that weather.

colleen, great wo this am.

i need to shower so badly but i really want to do yoga first. i feel gross! bbl
 
Hello! Nice day with my girls! Lots of time outside and some cooking too. Just finished Pure Barre and I can hear my Julia making up. Stinker, she is! She is such a handful lately!:eek::eek::eek:

Becky, 1 HIIT at a time is enough for me too!
Thanks for the encouragement on Julia - I know this is a stage and will pass, but YIKES in the meantime!:p

Colleen, Has the repairman come?? I hate waiting around for service guys too! Never seems to work out when they initially tell you it will.

Anne, Sorry abt your parents!
What are you and TCB going to do this weekend?

Clintonya, ^5s to your DDs! They did great!

Nina, Nice day for you!
A shower sounds divine but I'm tired of taking one with a child in there too!:p

Katie, What's up with your mom's surprise party? Are you stll doing it?
 
great time at the gym today! 25 mins intervals on the ellip, did some back, bis and shldrs and some balance moves and then took centergy (yoga/pilates class). my elbow feels like 90% better! we'll see how it is tomorrow but i did most of the sun salutations no problem, just modified a few poses where you put weight on your forearms. so so happy!!!!!!! driving is going ok... basically i drive whenwe get in the car now even if its only to the gym or grocery store. i did my first big highway drive (through boston to the other side of the city where his brother lives) and it was TERRIBLE. dh had to grab the wheel to help me when merging =( i hated every second of it and plan to avoid highway driving as much as possible!!

b- oatmeal, walnuts, apples
l - grilled chs quesadilla with salsa and ff sour cream
d - dh is grilling venison steaks, i will saute spinach with toms and garlic

kate, we didn't get much of a nap today either. it must be in the air, the little stinkers. JJ is doing the same thing. its so hard when they don't have the words! he screeches sometimes when I am not understanding him.

becky, one HIIT is even too much for me at this point =) beautiful day for me, too! doncha LOVE it???? i'm out for another walk with JJ as soon as DH throws those steaks on the grill.

nina, my arm is so much better, thanks for asking! have you been doing bryan kest yoga? i think you mentioned buying one of his...

anne, sorry about the family difficulties but it sounds like you've got a good plan in place now. what have you got on tap for TCB? how far does he have to travel to visit?

clintonya, the sweet 16 was interesting...so different for me. but enjoyable! it was really nice to see my niece happy because she can be very moody. whats you wo for today?

colleen, i hope the repair guy has come and gone already. do you like seasun? i just got cia dbl cardio through trade and haven't tried it yet.
 
Kate - Gina is so creative, I love it! P is going through the same phase although she has up (to be carried or go somewhere or to tell the dog to stop barking since embarassingly enough we tell the dog "shut up" and she caught on :eek: ), cup (for when she wants to drink), quiet (you guessed who we tell that to) and mmmmm...(for milk to nurse). Other than that, I feel your pain. She had a tantrum the other day for the first time. Oh my, is all I have to say. What kind of cake are you making for Gina? Kids love hot dogs for some yucky reason. Although I did too as a kid until I found out about nitrates. ;) I thought sausages were disgusting though!

Becky - I'm a one time Hiit timer also. I do that love that feeling also.

Katie - Sorry for all that you've been going through! Don't sweat the working out and eating. You know you'll be back on track in no time and we've all been there before. I know I have.

Nina - Yay for a great day with the boys. When is DH scheduled to come home? Baked Alaska is a cake w/ice cream covered with meringue. There are different ways to make it, but my MIL says she has a recipe so we'll see how it turns out.

Clintoya - Where did you guys go? I must have missed it.

Colleen - We just recently had a burner out on our stove and isn't it always the case it's the burner you use most??

Wendy - Awesome wo! No worries on the highway driving. You'll get there soon enough. Take it one day at a time.

Anne - Aw, I hear your pain. My parents are getting older and I worry about them too, but also realize I can't be there for everything. I used to do the majority even though I live farther away from them than my sister and my sister hardly anything so now that she has started to help more, I try not to feel guilty and tell my mom to ask my sister if I have a full plate already. You enjoy your weekend with TCB and let your sister/brother handle it this time around.

I did PUB this morning and forgot how killer those biceps could be. I love that workout though! Eats are good so far, but I know I have to be on track since cake for tomorrow. Turkey on a whole wheat/bran pita bread for lunch and dinner is chicken I think, but I'm all chickened out. We'll see. I should get some work done from home although I'm feeling super unmotivated.
 
Wendy, Other than the highway mishap I'm glad your driving is coming along!
HURRRRRAY on the wo's! THat is GREAT news!
Your meals today are makin' me drool!:D

Lisa, Julia has a couple words too but the grunts are killin' us! Poor girl sits at her high chair pointing to the table howling while we frantically throw different foods her way trying to figure out what she's trying to tell us!:p
Gina wants a rainbow cake - I'll post a link later... very fun cake! I'v made one for my neice before and it turned out great
wtg on pub! i love the bis in that one too:D
keep those eats clean!

bbl....
