Have a fun day Robin!
As far as regrets I'll have to think about it. NOthing comes immediately to mind, so I guess that's a good thing!
To maek a *mean steak*: (1 lb. of top sirloin)
1 hour before you grill it season it w/ 3/4 tsp. of kosher salt on each side
let it sit at room temp for 1 hour
Season both sides liberally w/ ground pepper (after the hour, just before you grill it)
have grill preheated on high for 15 minutes
just before you put your steak on grease the grates w/ paper towel.
Put the steak on med-high heat and CLOSE THE GRILL.
DO NOT open the grill for 6 minutes.
Flip the steak and grill for 5 minutes more, with the cover on.
Let rest for 10 minutes before serving/slicing
This makes a medium steak (how DH likes it). If you like more well done cook a minute or two longer on each side. I put mine back on the grill for longer than his.

I am planning on having a great day. It's almost 8:30 and I have *NO NAUSEA*. Today I am 12 weeks pg, I have worked out all week, eating is better everyday... I am feeling great!
menu:
b - french toast, cantaloupe, sm. cup of grape juice
s - hopefully cantaloupe!
l - leftover smorgasbord
s - ??
d - I think DH is "surprising" me w/ a dinner out without the kids. we'll see. I'll have grilled chicken salad wherever we go.
WO - upper body weights of some sort. I'm thinking about starting 4day split rotation but mixing up the cardios. I don't want to do the same 4 for a month again. Last night I did ASC1 warm up and a little bit of combo 1. I need to preview the crazy shuffle some more. I can't WAIT to get that move.
We are doing cleanmax this morning as a family. Our hose is CLEAN thanks to the cleaning lady but severly disorganized in closets, under bed, in drawers. After lunch we'll clean up gardens, etc outside. It's going to be 62 and sunny today! I am so excited to have nice weather ....and
I FEEL GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just had lunch - clean as a whistle, then I had 2 mini pb cups frozen! MMM! With all the cleanmax I did this AM I have no guilt. Got feeling a little nauseous. I skipped my AM snack because I was so busy doing chores. Full tummy now = happy mama. DDs are outside playing - I might go sneak in a WO!
Hope everyone is having a great day too!

Good going Kate with the cleanmax! I'm glad that your are feeling better today.
My menu is crazy!
b-yogurt smoothie
s-cheese-it and prezels
l-?? I'm hungry now!!!
I was not able to do Amy Hi-Low because of my knee said NO. So I did ASC II & Amy hi-loKO core and stretch. she uses DB for her ab w/o which is great because it's less boring.
Regrets?
I yelled at my son yesterday because I did not believe he stayed home from school bec he was sick BUT he was really sick. :-(
I guess moms are human also.

Robin, Regarding the menu: It's SAturday. And by the looks of your WO you worked it off anyway! And regarding the regrets: I'm right there with ya on mom-guilt. I do dumb stuff all the time. But at lunch today little Isabel looks at us and says "You are the best mama and daddy in the whooooole world!". I can't be doing *that* bad of a job, and neither are you!
No WO yet. DH had to leave to interview someone so I read some books in bed w/ DDs. We all fell asleep and they're still snoozing. DH will be home soon, maybe I can go downstairs then.
Feeling like I need a PM snack now but without knowing what we're eating for dinner I'm not sure what to eat.
Oh - cool thing - DH brought in my tote of maternity clothes from the barn. NOTHING will fit. All of the bottoms are going to be way too big. I can't believe how much bigger I was then! Oh well, guess I've got some shopping to do!!!!}(

Hi Everyone,
I have been running around all day and just finally had a chance to sit down. I was hoping to get more done before DH came home from work, but it didn't work out. Oh well.
Jenn, glad Shelby's fever finally broke. I am glad she was able to go camping.
Robin, sorry about your knee. I am glad you can step. I hurt my quad about 15 years ago and I all I could do was run. I lost about 5 pounds because I was doing something different.
Kate, congrats on your old maternity clothes being too big. Just another excuse to shop ;-)
w/o was LIC including the bonus cardio
b: oatmeal w/ almonds
s: banana & cashews
l: slice of pizza, broccoli & cauliflower
s: strawberries
d: tbd - maybe chili
I bought a foam roller for Tracey's new workouts. I really hope they ship next week.

Jenn, I'm glad Shelby got over her fever and could go camping. Isabel had a seizure last year because of a fever that spiked too high. Scariest moments of my life.
Robin, Today my sis said something about "in 4 years Gina will be 10!". wahhh - i want her to stay my baby!!!
For the steak recipe:
Make sure you preheat your grill with the cover closed!
Colleen, So you haven't sat down since you got up?!:7 Bummer on the hurt quad but ^5 on mixing it up! GREAT WO today!! mmmm..I love bananas & cashews together!!!! Hope you get your Traceys soon.
------------------------
I just finished 15 min of ASC1 and then did 4DS bis/tris. Now I'm pooped and resting! Off to shower soon and out to dinner, but I still don't know what he has planned! Maybe dinner and Riverdance???? A girl can dream!

Howdy clean peeps!
I guess Shirl and Katie are off for a lovely weekend!
Robin, i think we all regret something, its more important to apologize and mean it, then forgive. We can never go back...
Kate, fabulous workout!!! I'm sooooo glad you're feeling better. If i ate steak, i'd eat your steak for sure!
Colleen, great workout, and take it freaking easy, but not one to talk, but you kick my butt in the no rest department
Jenn, glad Shelby is feeling better too!
Today, treat day, so you can just guess! Had a biscotti too. Had a manicure/pedicure, grocerymax, cleanmax, walkmax, damn!!! Now dinner max, think sweet potato, salsa (Kate, i found a place that makes it fresh, bought some today!!), and soy somthing.
workout, get this, PUB/CIA kriss cross cardio, and 4D core, i'm wiped!
Have a great day everyone, Kate, i hope DH takes you for a great dinner

Hey ladies, I'm back, got the marriage license!! We also had some nice, relaxing time at my Dad's house. Food intake was not as structured as normal, but not bad overall.
The family wants blueberry pancakes for b'fast tomorrow, so I went to our nicest grocery store (with all the best, freshest produce) for blueberries, and I ended up with lots of great stuff for the week!!
ONE MORE WEEK until we move -- I think that that will REALLY help me eat better (when I have only ONE home and LOTS of clean food there!!).
I feel like I am waaaaayy too far behind to catch up on personals but I will say that I missed you all!!

Katie, Your b. sounds delish! Makes me want to go to my fave diner tomorrow AM!!!
Robin, I *am* a riverdancer, aren't I?! Looks like you have a good day & week planned. You're makin' me hungry for some Cheerios!!
--------------------------
My lunch was HORRIBLE! Dh's fam was going out to eat and DH wanted us to go w/ them. Of course they picked this rotten buffet. I had a baked potato w/ salsa, pineapple, and grilled chicken. I kept it clean but that place is so rotten and dirty and I HATE IT!!!! Nasty greasy fingerprints all over, the bathroom is a warzone, and the people there are, um, gross. If the areas you SEE are that bad I can't imagine what their kitchen looks like! Blech!!!! I hate that place, can you tell? I told DH we are NEVER going there again.
About to get DDs down for a nap. See ya!
