Good morning ladies!! Hope everyone has a great weekend!!

I got up early to workout, but I ***TMI alert*** have been in the bathroom all morning. I was not feeling well when I went to bed last night, and I am still not feeling well this morning. I was planning to finish out my 4DS week with legs and shoulders, but I just don't feel like it!! Combine that with my digestive tract situation, and I think it's probably a good plan to not attempt a workout.

Instead, I am printing wedding invitations -- YAY! I am going to go this morning to Michael's to pick up a few things, then I am hoping to put everything together tonight. I bought card stock in the colors that I wanted, and printed the invitations myself, but now I have to put it all together. I am sending out two different invitations -- for those invited to the wedding, they are getting an envelopment with a wedding invite in the middle and the reception invite in a pocket next to the other. Some people we are inviting to the reception only, so they are getting just the one invitation. The colors are metallic seafoam green/blue and white. I am going to tie white raffia around each one also. I will take a picture or two one they are done. I really love how they are turning out!!

I hope Collin takes a nap today -- I have had a hard time with him the past few weekends. Not sure what his deal is... Mommy really needs a nap today too. I think I will take him to the playground this morning and try to wear him out!!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!!
 
Sorry about your tummy troubles Katie. Yuck. I can't wait to see your wedding invites! Good luck w/ Collin's nap!! And yours!

We are leaving for the funeral soon. We should be home by 330, and I am RELAXING after that!!

bbl....
 
Good morning everyone!

It's finally the weekend but I am working for most it. I had too many issues this week that I didn't get much of my regular work done. I also have 2 practice migrations this weekend so I will be on a lot of conference calls.

Kate, how's Gina doing this morning? Is her throat still sore?
Katie, hope you can get some rest today. Good luck with the invites.
Shirl, congrats on the weight loss. Keep up the good work!
Robin, sorry your easter egg hunt got rained out. I think the girl scouts will enjoy the indoor event.
Steph, I have never made a lentil stirfry. How do you make it?

w/o will be PLB
b: egg whites, ww english muffin, vegetarian bacon

rest of day is tbd

Colleen
 
Hey ladies

Well it stop raining for a couple hours so we were able to do the hunt and it wore me out! I came home and had a two hour nap.

I'm having adware problems BRB
 
Happy Saturday clean peeps!

Sorry for my late post, my first Saturday home and not at work events in 3 weeks! Did groceries, workout etc.

Katie, sorry about the tummy troubles too, that stinks, i so didnt mean that pun either. Hope you get a rest in today. what do you think it is?

Kate, sorry about the funeral. Thinking about ya.

Colleen, i have never done PLB, you must share. Its our Easter weekend coming up, and i was thinking about pulling it out. Lentil stir fry...i'm not a cook so its easy as can be.
Get my wok out, chop broccoli, cauliflower, red cabbage, mushrooms, whatever you like. Put 1/4 can lentils in my wok, add garlic, onion, dill, and mushrooms. Steam other veggies maybe 5 minutes, sometime i microwave them for 6 minutes. Add all together in wok, shake around. Add organic tomato puree at the end, and bang, you got lentil stir fry a la Stephanie.

Robin, yeah, Easter egg hunt! That's a workout.

for me, workout, HIS/4D upper body and core

Menu! Treat day and i'm gonna post my badness
B: usual
s: plain cc after workout
l: mushroom barley soup, celery, hummus, carob raisins (like 100 of them) and malt balls (like....50 of them!)
nothing else yet, think i'm going to make Shirataki noodles to redeem myself! I'm at my lowest weight since highschool, so something is working!
Have a great day everyone,
Steph
 
I'm back my kids downloaded something and it is slowing down my computer.

Feel better Katie.

You are too funny Steph or should we call you MaltBall Queen.;-)

I got these GS cookies to get rid of. I have not opened one box yet.

My w/o today was ctx total cardio and shoulders
menu:
b-hot cross buns and strawberries :(
l-chicken and salad
d-chicken and brocoli

My stomach feels like a balloon I may have to take something for it.
It may be the FiberOne Yogurt.:+
 
Colleen, Sorry you have to work all day. Thanks for asking about Gina. Her throat is manageable. She doesn't feel super, but she isnt slowing down a bit so Mama doesn't have too much sympathy.

Robin, What are hot cross buns?! They sound good, whatever they are. Glad your girls got to go outside. Does your son join along or does he make alternate plans?

Steph, I like your bang! Cute directions on the stir-fry! Hope you've had a good day.

------------------------------
The funeral was nice and it was good to visit with everyone afterwards at the luncheon.

Eating was as good as it could be today under all the circumstances. I'm feeling better and better - hopefully on an upswing. I semi-feel like working out tonight but we've been so busy that I'm looking forward to a nice quiet night with Mike. DDs are in the tub and will be going to bed soon. I feel like I'm on the verge of coming out of this 1st trimester funk. yay!! My body is changing so much its scary. My boobs are spilling out over the top of my bra and my abs have gotten so loose its scary. I've only gained 3 pounds (couldn't resist checking) - the way I've been eating carbs I was sure I'd gained TEN!) but my waist is non-existent and I just don't look like me. Kind of exciting. I'm only 9 weeks today but I'm attributing the quick change to the fact that this is my 3rd pregnancy and my body just knows what to do. No real "bump" yet - just changes. Will post a bump pic when it happens!

Well, I've gone on too long! See you gals later!
 
Hello again ladies! Wedding invitation Max here today. I was not able to find the right color ink pad at Michael's so I have ordered one from the internet, so it will be at least a few more days til I can work on them again. Not a big deal I guess, I don't need to send them again for a few weeks. I just hate starting a project, then leaving it half done.

Robin, glad to hear that you got the egg hunt in -- and the nap!

Kate, glad you are feeling better!

Steph, yay for no work this weekend!

Colleen, BOOO for all your work this weekend!

My clean dinner is on the stove. We are going out to breakfast tomorrow --- mmmm, pecan pancakes and bacon! It will NOT be clean, but it's been a long time since we ate out for breakfast! I am really looking forward to it!

Where are the new blog pics????
 
Katie, I knwo what you mean about a half-finished project. Its so hard to get your head back into it again. We went out to b'fast today - pancakes for me!! They were delicious! I had some watermelon on the way so I didn't feel too bad about it. I'm anxios for bulog pics too.

Okay, I need to get off of here and get DDs out of the tub before they prune up!
 
Quick Hello!

I miss checking in more regularly with all of you! It looks like everyone has been busy. The blog pictures look so good; wahhhh I want STS. Oh well, it's a want and not a need. My eating has been not so good today, PMS. I hope to have more time tomorrow to chat!
Take care and good night!

A friend in fitness,
Shirl
 
Great to see you , Shirl!! Glad things are going good for you. Any new clients?

Katie, Are you enjoying your breakfast out? I hope so!

Gina's family bday party is today a couple hours after church so we have a lot to do today. Thank goodness the house is still decorated from Firday. Really cuts down on the prep time. The dog popped all the balloons so I'll have to pick up more of those.

Have a great day!
 
HI ladies,

Made it home from vacation and I'm ready to go back. There is still snow here and it is rainy this morning.

Had lots of fun at Hilton Head. Went bike riding, played mini golf, spent time on the beach. And ate to much food.

Good news is my weight is still the same.

Today will be laundrymax, and grocerymax. Hopefully a workout but I don't which.
Most likely a cardio. Have no clue about my menu.

Katie pancakes sound yummy. Maybe I will make some protien pancakes for bfast.

Kate glad your on an upswing. How old is Gina? Enjoy your party.

A big hello to everyone else. Have to go flip the laundry.

Jenn
 
Happy Palm Sunday ladies.

After church I'll have CTX cardio and tri (tri push up...love um ;-) )

Protein pancakes sound nice.

I'm glad you are feelig better KaTe.

I pack up those scout cookies so I'm safe.

talk later
 
Jenn, Glad you made it home safe and had a good time. High 5 on maintaining the weight! Gina is 6 now - my baby is OLD!

Robin, Sounds like you have a nice day planned. I hope I feel good to exercise tonight.

I was feeling pretty good this AM when I first woke up. I had about 2/3 of an apple and now its making me nauseous! Why on earth would an APPLE do that to me!? I am so frustrated with healthy food making me feel bad! Crazy!:) x(

see ya !
 
Poor Kate maybe anything you eat 1st thing in the morning is going to bring on that feeling.

Welcome back Jenn is seems like you had a good time.

Have any of you tried the new STS moves using a paper plate?

I did and it is scary to me but it makes you use your gluts more which is always a good thing.

The CTX circuit cardio had hi/low, step, kickbox and kickboxing on the step. I think this one is my fav of all the CTX cardio. I wonder why Cathe has not done another step/kickbox w/o?
 
Hi Everyone,

It's been a busy morning. No workout today since it is a rest day but I did segment 2 of stretch max. I think I might order that DVD instead of the Fitv version. I hate fast forwarding through commercials. I still haven't decided about CTX yet but I haven't really had time to think about it.

Robin, I have tried gliding discs which work like paper plates for Amy's core workout on APX. I don't know if I have done any glute work with them.
Kate, hope you are feeling better for Gina's party
Jenn, welcome back! Great job maintaining your weight.
Shirl, we miss you too!
Katie, what are your plans for today?
Steph, PLB is one of my favorites. My legs really feel the burn.

b: shredded wheat w/ almonds
l: grilled chicken parm w/ ww pasta
s: tbd
d: scallops, rice and asian veggies

Have a great day everyone!

Colleen
 
Hello again ladies!! It has been a low-key, almost boring weekend. We didn't do any house projects, so I don't feel like we really accomplished anything. I have done a lot of sleeping -- obviously my body needed it, but I feel guilty.

We need to hit the grocery store soon. I hate this point in the weekend where you stop relaxing and start getting ready for a new work week:-(

Oh yes, and Collin's dad just called to say he is getting to come home for Easter weekendx( I couldn't resist, I said, "well, we will make sure you get to see Collin, but remember that your driver's license is suspended (for failure to pay child support) so you can't drive him anywhere!"
 
Oh no Katie not him again. I guess you did the right thing. That fool has not paid child support x( !

Well ladies I start my new diet tomorrow. The WH Perfect Body Diet aka Gasmax diet.:D
It's the same thing of low (90-125 g) of carbs, low fat, high fruits and veggies. This is just like the clean diet but much more fiber. I brought some fiber supplements (Chitosan) which has glucomannan. I have to add 6 grams per day (six opened pills).

Also I have to eat more grains during my meals and no bad carbs during my snacks which mean no protein bars for snack :-( . So lets see how it goes.
 
Robin, I haven't tried the paperplates - looks good though!

Colleen, I would hate to ff trhu commercials too.

Katie, Sorry about Frank - hope it all works out. I agree - thumbs down on getting ready for MOnday! Mike is doing homework with Gina right now - we always manage to put it off til Sunday evening. Don't feel guilty about no projects - life's too short to work all the time.

----------------------------------
My apple ended up making me REALLy sick - threw up during church. Lovely background noise I'm sure! I had a small piece of cake and icecream at Gina's party and the sugar is making me sick now! Jeez! Guess I'll stick with toast. I actually think I'm gonna go puke - I'll probably feel better. The party went well - 90 minutes and everyone was gone! She got a ton of stuff and we haven't even given her our presents yet. She's gotten so much she hasn't even asked for what we got her!!

see ya
