^^CLEAN.TIDY.WEEKEND^^

So, I had a little break this afternoon with no pages, codes, or admissions and was able to do a short 20 minute yoga session via my iPhone. That made me happy.

Angie, I too like Step Moves. There's only one part that I screw up on. But, I didn't even preview it and got it pretty well. I'm sure that after a few more times through I'll be able to get my heart rate up even more once I feel confident with all the choreography. Have a happy birthday tomorrow!

Morris, awesome on the 5 miles. Parmesan is higher in sodium, so that may be cause of your bloating. Broccoli always makes me toot. (TMI? :) )

Jazcam, with both you and Angie doing Step Moves, I feel out of the loop. BTW, do you regularly eat spaghetti tacos? Or is this a kid thing?

Klaudia, you are a strong woman for resisting Klondikes!!! I bet those chocolate hearts were dark chocolate, right? Then it is good for you! Hope you have fun with Circuit Blast tomorrow. That is a fun one.

Kate, have fun bowling.

Wendy, have a great time at Disney

Becky, did you do Fusion? I really like that one and had a great time with it this morning.

Lisa, that's great about your daughter and her ears. I think I've set a goal for Z not to get them till she's 10 (if she wants them). I had them done at age 8 and then they got infected and grew back. I got them done again at 12 and I still have them pierced today! So, I feel 10 would be a good compromise. We'll see how much (if she does) she begs though.

Colleen, how is the choreography in ASC3? I liked ASC but never quite spent enough time to learn ASC2.

Back to work now.

Becky
 
Colleen - ^5 on the clean eats and on bill paying day, lol!

BeckyMD - I just realized that there are 2 Beckies now, duh! Yes, we were thinking much older for her to get her ears pierced, but she has been asking for almost 3 years now and she has been doing so well in school that we figured we would let her. Yay for some yoga time at work and for work being nice to you.

Got back from the game, Costco shopping and now P is down for a nap. The older two have their friends over so that is keeping them busy. Off to do some work and hoping it clears up so I can go for a walk when P wakes up. Eats have been 100% clean! I was tempted once today to eat a muffin then I could hear Klaudia's post about keeping commitments to ourselves. I'm so glad I found this group!

Lisa
 
Angie, So where's the next vacation?!:D I can't wait for our Florida trip!
You have such a good hubby! Hope your bday is wonderful!
My core work was stuff on our decline bench. I'm finding I get a better core WO when I do my own thing rather than Cathe's. Weird, I know. I think I just need basic strengthening exercises, not necessarily the crazy superhero stuff. My core just plain sucks since I've had Julia - the bench is helping.

Wendy, I bet YOU are getting so excited for your trip! YAY!

Dr. Becky:D, I love the mental pic of Zoey all bundled up. Makes me :D:D.
WTG w/ the iphone yoga! That is awesome!

Becky, Another busy weekend for you guys!
Enjoy "your" book!:p

Clintonya, I don't sew either - thankfully I have a MIL I can send our mending to!:)
Get that WO! We always end up doing one late. When we feel like being lazy we jsut remind ourselves "Would I go to bed? No, I'd putz around and waste time on the computer....so I might as well get up and MOVE and work that body!" Hope that helps!

Nina, Nice day!

Lisa, Your walk w/ Pomai sounds wonderful! I miss tossing Julia in the Beco and heading out for a couple miles. Maybe soon!

Colleen, Spring clothes sounds great! Where did you go shopping?
I have ASC but haven't taken much time to learn the combos. I just abt had the 1st one and then my belly got too pregnant for stepping!:p

0-0-0-0-00-0-0-0-0-0-

Well, bowling was a bust. there was a 1-hr wait for a lane so we went to a really cool pet store instead and out to dinner. Eats went due South and just wow. Haven't ate this bad in a long time. No sweat tho. It was a fun family outing, a rare treat, and I'm not dwelling on it. :)

WOs today: Step Moves and abs this AM. Tonight I did GS back (really heavy - felt awesome) and a CS Essentrics Arms/Abs that rocked!

off to do some laundry or somehting productive. See ya!
 
Lisa, I got my 2 dd’s ears pierced for their b-days at the end of last year. Their b-days are 23 days apart so they just did it together. My oldest never really cared that much so she had never got hers done – she turned 16. My youngest is the more adventurous type and wanted it done, so they decided they would do it together (she was turning 10). Great job on the clean eating!!

Nina, yes, dress rehearsal was over at about 5:15 so one big step is done! 1st competition will either be the weekend of the 6th or the 13th. W/the economy it seems a lot of the competitions aren’t getting the # of entries they need to hold the event.

Becky-md, glad you got a break. I hope the night goes by fast for you!

Becky, let me know how the book is - I always love a new book!

Colleen, hope you got some good stuff . Sometimes you have to get it now because they change the clothes so quickly! Good job w/ your workout after the legs the day before – those can really bring on the doms! Enjoy your rest day!

Kate, yes you had a good evening w/your fam so all is well:) Your workouts have been great this week! Sorry about the bowling:(

Workout is done and got my extra cardio in! Fusion tomorrow. Eats were clean EXCEPT for a small bit of Starbucks Mocha Cappuccino Ice Cream. Went to Target and was swayed by the combination of caffeine and chocolate!

Have a great night everyone!

Clintonya
 
Clintonya, Good for you having a portion-controlled treat! We aren't body builders training for a comp...we are women who love fitness and there's nothing wrong with enjoying an occasional treat. :)
Nice job w/ the WO! When I did Fusion I wasn't crazy about it - think I need to learn the moves a little better first.
 
Kate - Yes, I can't agree with you more. We definitely are women who wo consistently and eat healthy overall that treating ourselves once in awhile is really nothing to get worried about at all. Glad you guys had fun. We did that on Friday night and went to IHOP hence my total indulgence day! I ate out plus ate all that chocolate. I was on a junk food roll and now I'm off.

Clintoya - Yay for getting your wo in!

BeckyMD - I meant to tell you that I thought that was sooo cute about Z holding on to Elmo! Love this age their at!

So wo was a bust. It was overcast and I didn't want to chance getting stuck in the rain with P. Tomorrow I will be back on P90X. Decided to just stick it through since I'm almost there and I like what it has done for my body and strength. My arms are def. more defined and I'm much stronger than before I started. Four more weeks of Tony and bye, bye for awhile. Anyway, kept away from the sweets today despite MANY temptations. That's a big one for me esp. since I turn to them sooo often. See you in the morning.

Lisa
 
Morning ladies! And Happy Birthday Angie!

Sorry I did not check in yesterday, I am in a bit of a funk... Hoping for a good workout and a good sermon to turn my day around! I'll check back later.
 
Happy Birthday Angie !! I hope you have a wonderful birthday ....eat cake and ice cream! It's a special day !!!!:D:D

Katie, I hope your day gets better .

Hmmm... I hate to say this, but I really didnt like MMA Fusion.:(
I don't have a lot of room in my workout room for some of the moves and I'm not a fan of floor to air moves.......I can't keep up the pace and I feel like I am risking form.
Of course, I will give it another try and I DID love the core drills. I think the ones on boxing and fusion are AWESOME. I love that there are so many new moves and I feel like they really WORK IT !
I'm sad though because for me, the step dvds are fantastic , and I like boxing, though it's lower intensity then most other Cathe workouts imo, (try adding weighted gloves for more intensity), but the rest haven't really been for me.
I know we can't ALL love every single workout Cathe has EVER put out, and I will try them all again- just to see if it was the newness of so many moves, but I think maybe the Hiit -type workout just isn't my preference.:(

Oh well ! I have so many of Cathe's workouts (almost all) so if I end up not "bonding" with these, I'll use something else !!!

Today is a run to Wal-mart, dinner after church with my mom & dad and then PAINTING ! We are painting the living room. Big job because we are pulling off all the old trim and putting up new, changing doors, etc.. but hopefully we'll like the change !

Rest day for me !

Have a great second half of the weekend !!

Becky
 
Morning

Lisa good for you for sticking with Tony. I watch p90x infomercials but never done any, except the kickboxing. ^5's on the clean eats.

Colleen take a rest day if you need to. I was thinking of doing ASC3 on saturdays after I learn step moves. Amy Bento had a baby girl, so maybe she is thinking of working on her new series.

MDBecky spegetti taco is a kid thing for sure:)
We do have 2 Becky's...do you have a nick name?

Kate those decline sit up are crazy hard for your core. If you keep them up you will be able to do 1 hour of sts core. I with you on Fusion. I'm not sure what to do with this w/o.

Clintonya I love Starbucks and I have a gift card that I'm waiting until summer to use. I love their ice coffees.

Katie enjoy church.

Happy Birthday Angie!

Robin, What's up for the day?

Nina, Sorry for the non-WO AM. ENJOY THE BEACH! We are all jealous!

-
Church and fam time here - peace out!
 
Morning!

Yesterday turned into a workout bust:( My friend came over with her daughter and stayed 3 hours! I think she needed a break from her toddler;) The older girls had playdates too-one home and one away so it got crazy around here then we needed to get ready for the b-day party. Ah, well. Circuit Blast later today. Darrin is on his way to the cottage to stain and hang doors, etc. He's taking Danica and Milla with him so it'll just be me and Nevena. Not sure what we'll do since it's pouring with gusting winds.

Lisa, my girls got their ears pierced when they were 8, 6, and 9 months!! Luckily we've never had any problems with infections, etc. We have lost a few earrings though! Glad the post helped someone! I feel like such a hypocrite sometimes-saying the right things but not following it. Good for you for sticking out P90X-you will be so happy when you're done and have the bod to show for it!!

Colleen, I want new clothes/shoes bad-and new workout shoes, exercise dvds/equipment, and a bunch of new house stuff. Where's that money tree?

Becky, the chocolate was supposed to be dark, but I grabbed the girls' milk chocolate by accident-it was dark in the pantry!:eek:

Kate, add me to the no sew club! My mom does all mine. My eats were bad yesterday too-can you say Reuben dip? And Buffalo chicken dip, and a a slice of pizza, a cupcake, piece of b-day cake and a scoop of ice cream:eek::eek::eek: But it's ok cause I had Coke Zero!;) Awesome workouts!!

Clintonya, great job on the extra cardio! Danica made our competetion team but we decided against it for financial reasons-extra costumes, classes, fees, hotel stays, etc. She was ok with it though-we told her if she did comp, we couldn't afford for her little sisters to dance too and she didn't want that-sweet kid:)

Becky, enjoy your rest day:)

Robin, I agree-decline sit ups are tough!

Nina, why is he gone? Darrin's been gone a lot lately too-he feels so guilty about it, he's driving me crazy! Enjoy the beach! It's nasty here today:(
 
I'm home!

Last night ended up being kind of rough. The ICU went crazy and I had to help admit 3 of their patients, put a hemodialysis line in a patient, and intubate another. I ended up going to the call room at 1 am and slept off and on until 6 am. So, I did get a good amount of sleep, but I was running around like a chicken with my head cut off prior to that. I ended up eating half a turkey sandwich at midnight because I was famished. Oh well, I don't think I would have been able to sleep at all if my stomach was growling. I'm thankful I got that extra yoga in earlier in the day.

As for something else to call me since there is another becky. McG? My last name is funny and starts with McG. You could call me Becky Sue since that's my first and middle name. Or Zoey's Mom I guess. I'll let you guys decide.

The in-laws are in town. I missed the first day of their visit (awe shucks ;) )and I think we're going to the aquarium later maybe. Its rainy and we have to get out of the house.

Today is a rest day for me.

Becky, or McG, or Becky Sue, or Zoey's Mom

(one of my coworkers calls me Big Money because my initials are B.M...but that is sort of goofy, so I didn't throw it into the mix :) )
 
angie, happy happy birthday to you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i am busy packing and trying to stay totally positive/healthy. this has been such a weird cold. JJ and i are not anywhere near 100% but dh and ods never did get sick which is a relief! POSITIVITY is a must... heading out on vacation after a week of ICK and hardly any workouts because of it. the good news is my eating this week has been decent because im not that hungry, lol!

It's my DREAM to someday live within walking distance of the ocean !!!!!!!!!!
