Morning girls,

Have to post quick before someone else wakes up. Today was cardio recovery which was nice. Eats are still really good and I'm dreading pure cardio tomorrow!

Hope everyone is having a good weekend. Ours is going to be quiet and involve some housecleaning.

Make it a good one!
 
Good Morning Clean Eaters !!!

Hi Angie . Great workout !

Today is RS, but since it's the weekend I will sub with a hilly hike with hubby ! (say THAT 10 times fast !!!:p) and I will add on some core.

I SLEPT last night !! Of course I cheated and took Tylenol PM , but I just HAD to sleep . The bags under my eyes looked like I was packed for a long vacation !!:confused: I hate the fuzzy feeling I have the morning after I take that, but it's worth the solid sleep !!!!!! Oh happy Day !!!

What's everyone doing this weekend ?

It's going to be in the 70's and sunny and not very humid, so I hope to get plenty of outside time !!!

Have a good one !

Becky
 
Angie, your dedication is inspiring to me! You will do fine tomorrow - just do the best you can!

Today will be 2 miles + total body stretching training. I think I have decided that I need to do lower weight / higher reps during my race training. I'm not sure if I will use a dvd today or just freestyle it...

Chris is working today, so it's just me and Collin. I am taking him to the fair to ride rides, and I also need to work on some things for work sometime this weekend.

And I need to clean house, like Angie!
 
Katie, 2 miles sounds good and I think that endurance training is probably a good choice for training. How's the hip feeling during/post runs? Have fun at the fair - I miss US fairs! :)
 
Good morning!!!! A wonderfully grueling hour of CS is complete! After Breakfast and Ju's nap we're going to the Detroit Zoo! I'm so excited! And talk about a cal burn walkin' that place w/ Julia in her front pack!:D

Angie, glad you guys are enjoying insanity!
Quiet wkends are nice!!

Becky, Glad u got some sleep - no matter how! your hike sounds great!

Katie, Hows the wo?
have fun @ the fair! all ours are overwith. might go to the renaissance festival next month tho.
hope work doesnt detain you for too long!
 
Morning Kate! Have fun at the zoo! I love zoos. I miss Brookfield. And that def is a WO carrying a baby (esp a chubby one) in the front pack! I probably missed this during the past few weeks but I want to hear more about the addition!

Girls want to go to the park to ride bikes...
 
Angie, I've never been to that zoo.....That's the Chicago one, correct?
The park and bikes sound fun too!
The addition.....we are so excited! It will be a large kitchen & dining and half bath on the main floor. Upstairs will have 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms with a laundry. IF IF IF we do go thru with this it will start this fall. Need to make a firm decision in the next week.

Made buttermilk waffles and sausage for the fam. I dutifully ate my oatmeal.:D Time for some cleanmax!
 
Good Morning Everyone!

I really wanted eggs for breakfast this morning but there was only enough for 1 person so I saved them for Chris and had oatmeal instead. Not much planned this weekend for us since we didn't know how Chris would feel. Workout will be Plyo Circuit, Insanity UB and L&G floorwork. My stomach is a little queasy so hopefully I will make it through all of that.

Kate, ^5 on resisting the waffles and sausage. I am not a fan of either so it is easy for me to resist.
Katie, I haven't seen the scale move from insanity but I am leaning out. I have just started refocusing on my diet so hopefully the scale will follow soon.
Angie, I really like how Cardio Recovery really stretches me out. You will make it through Pure Cardio tomorrow. Just hit pause if you need a break.
Becky, I am glad you slept last night. I hate that groggy feeling too. I have allergies and benadryl really works but leaves me really groggy in the morning.

Off to workout!
 
Kate, the addition sounds awesome! How many bedrooms do you have now?

Colleen, I'm really hoping that my diet changes will really move the scale this time. I'll be really disappointed if it doesn't because I feel like this is my last shot!

Did a lot of reading with Annabel this afternoon - she's so excited because she finished her Orange reading level with Hooked on Phonics. I love to watch her learn.

Watching Beethoven now...
 
c, what a sweet wife you are!:D hope your tum agrees w/ your wo!

angie, we have 4 bedrooms and 3 baths now. 3.5 bathrooms if you count the urinal and sink in m's mechanical rm!:p:p:p:p
yay annabel! ita - to see them learn new things is awesome!

-

Hey girls,

I'm feeling SO good! I love the way eating like this makes me feel. I still feel like I'm trying to fight off some cold or allergies but I'm taking my vitamins like a mad woman. I will NOT GET SICK.

Nina, Saturdays are never busy here. It's so slow. Plus we've had 2 major vacations lately so our money spending crazy so we have to stay in and not spend. :) Today is day 4 for me! I'm imagining day 60 in my head! :)

Kate, hope you're having a great zoo day. I miss "real" farmer's markets and american beef! :)

Off to bed to read a book/watch some action flick with Ryan.

Have a great rest of your days all!
 
Home sweet home! Boy did I miss you guys! Vacation was fun-got a little color, eats were ok-lots of ice cream;) and a few drinks. I managed to run 3 times and do some upper body in my bedroom one day. I am glad to be home though and to sleep in my own bed. Milla slept with us ALL week:( And to get back to my regular routine food and exercise wise. Too tired for personals today-I'll start fresh tomorrow-just wanted to say hi to my girls!
 
nina, saturdays fly by here too...boo!
did you get your pool time in?

angie, no-sickness vibes!:D have a nice snuggle w/ your hub!:D

klaudia, welcome home!! sounds like you had fun! kid in the bed = yuck:p. i dont sleep well w/ that either

-
zoo was great....eats too! angie, im on a roll with you! its been a solid wk of clean and i very much can feel it!
 
Morning girls,

I feel like our group was so crazy for a few days and now it's fizzled! :(

Welcome home Klaudia! We missed you. Sounds like your vacation was fun (aside from the kid in your bed part!). Great job getting a few WOs in!

Kate, clean eats are so great, aren't they. I'm starting to get the itch for a cheat so hopefully I can make it go away. I really want 2 solid weeks and I'm hoping the scale rewards me. I avoided pancakes yesterday that smelled SOOOO good.

Today was day 5 - Pure Cardio. I love at the end he says, "That sh#$ is bananas, yo!" Pretty funny. Everyone is laying on the ground moaning. Of course next week we have to get up and do cardio abs right after it. My body is sore in all kinds of weird ways but this program is making me feel accomplished in a different way and I'm really enjoying doing it with Ryan!

Today is laundry, cleaning, relaxing. I love the weekend!

Have a great Sunday!
 
Angie, I know how hard it is to resist pancakes!!! One of my all-time fave breakfast foods for sure! What has helped me the last couple weeks is a new oatmeal pancake recipe...mmmmm.... So healthy, so good. I make it when I'm making them something special too then I don't feel like I'm depriving myself. I will post later today for you.
Glad Insanity is going so well!!! That's awesome you gys are doing that together.
Have a great last day of the weekend! I wish MIke could stay home with us during the week....We need to win the lotto!:p

-
Churchand fam time today....see ya later!
 
Morning ladies! I am getting ready to head out for a nice 4-ish mile walk. Hip and leg are feeling pretty good lately - and I see Dr. McDreamy tomorrow for the official verdict!

Kate, the addition sounds wonderful! I can't wait to build my dream kitchen one day! Will you just have two kitchens?
Angie, I'm so glad to hear how well you are doing with Insanity and your energy and excitement is contagious!
Klaudia, welcome home! Glad you had a great time!
Colleen, take it easy if you aren't feeling well!
Nina, awesome run, I am sooooo jealous!

Busy day here, be back later!
 
Morning!

Got back in the groove with a 30 minute run/walk yesterday. Not quite like running on along Lake Michigan though. Today will be the same thing plus some abs-I need to catch up on my 5k training. Last load of laundry is in the wash and I need to head out to the grocery store in a bit-we got nothin'! Need to figure out what 2 week mini rotation to do before I start back up with STS once the girls are in school.

Angie, those workouts sound brutal! Way to go! I wish Darrin would workout with me-he doesn't even like it when I go downstairs. Keep up the clean eats!

Kate, I channeled your willpower on vacation. My bil made German pancakes and I had pb&banana on ww! And am proud to report my weight is the same as when I left:)

Katie, enjoy your walk! Good luck tomorrow!
