Commit to get fit and lean for Dec 21, 2009

Hallo,

I am done with PH and abs! I am getting ready for a x-mas party, this evening is another one! :eek:

I do read all the post, I don't have time for personals!I wll be back later!
 
Good Morning!:)

I feel a bit better then I did yesterday morning:p Why do we do that to ourselves? I don't drink very often but when I do, look out! I have actually felt ALOT worse before. When I was younger I never knew when my cut off point was. So I would drink until I threw up:rolleyes: I have learned my limit over the years so I don't get in the messes I use to! LOL

I did CC#5 yesterday and I stayed on the TM until the 6 mile mark. I also did some abs work. I think I am going to do a circuit workout today. I got up a little bit earlier to fit a longer workout in. I wasn't a real good girl yesterday. Because I didn't feel #1 I kinda stuck whatever in my mouth but while everyone else ate dinner, I napped:eek: Then we helped my inlaws wrap some presents, we had them done in no time. Its alot easier when 3 people are wrapping instead of one.

Belinda** Did you enjoy your rest yesterday? I hear ya on the gatherings and thankfully,mine are over with until christmas eve!:) I am just having our family here. Actually, DH's family b/c mine will be away. I also debated having DH's uncle and family here but they eat to much:confused: AND they never invite anyone to their house. For yrs my MIL would host Christmas eve dinner and DH's other uncle (who died last yr) would host Chritmas day dinner. Since he passed away things are kinda all over the place. It wouldn't be so bad if the other family did something other then just show up to eat and then leave, but thats what they have done every year and b/c of it, I don't care to have them under my feet the whole holiday season.

Deb** Did you dig your way out?? We are having rain here now. Im not sure if we are suppose to have snow sometime this week but I really don't care for a green christmas:eek:

Ameila** My boss never really owned the place, just ran it for years. They sold it out from in under him. He did have the option to buy it, along with alot of other things, kinda like a package deal. But he doesn't have that kind of money....we are talking millions here. So he knew it was just a matter of time before it sold. Of course we knew nothing about it until it was sold. Glad you are maintaining your weight!!

Helene** This time of year is hectic for all of us. I manage to get my workouts in most days and I find it easier to checkin first thing in the morning. Wed and Thurs will probably be hectic days here again b/c I have to get my groceries and clean again. Then Thurs is Christmas eve so you know what that day is like.

O.k...so while I was typing this work called and I have to go in in an hour for a flight:confused: So much for my long workout! I will leave work after the flight though and come home and workout....unless another flight interfers with this!

BBL!

Morning,

Well looks like I'll be going the work without having gotten my workout in. I am so looking forward to January for the workouts. But I haven't forgotten I get a vacation first! :eek:

If the postman has a present for me today, I'll try to get a short workout in tonight. Probably one of the Hiits although the clip from Circuit Blast at 44 minutes looks to die for!

OK, off to work. Have a fantastic start of Xmas week everybody!!!!!!!!

BBL.....
 
Good Morning Ladies

Well I'm getting closer to the finish line with the 1RM's! (The important ones, anyways). I haven't gotten either STS or SCS yet....I just have this "feeling" that they will come at the same time...:) (Hopefully today)
Cookie day went over well at work on Saturday...I even ate some:eek: and then had a couple more:eek: and then later some more :mad:. My rest day turned into an hour and a half circuit workout when I got home.:confused: Yesterday did LIC Cardio...and today will be Legs, doing 1RM's and if time, floorwork from L&G or PS Legs.

Belinda- I'm glad your DD arrived safely and on time!! Hope you guys have a wonderful day!

Amelia- Congrats on your remaining steady during this difficult December time! I've yet to step on the scale......:eek:

Lori- is your DS super excited? LOL @ your DH's party...gotta watch out for those bartenders that do their own thing!! ;)

Deb- No snow here! I wish we'd gotten something just so it would be a whiter Christmas. So did you start your wrapping??

Helene- So when are you coming back?? We should def do a rotation! I will wait for you :) We will probably get ours at the same time....I have USPS as well...

Cookie- So how did shopping go?? I hit one half of Crossgates yesterday to finish up.....and then I was OUTTA THERE....I cant' stand the malls at christmas...in fact I almost dread it...lol My mom is doing well, thanks for asking :) She will be able to enjoy the holidays with no sickness, she goes back to her treatments next week.

OK off to laundry and legs....BBL
 
Good Morning

Today i will do core + legs & glutes. I also want to get out in the yard and clean up a bit. My dd and the next door neighbor kids have made a mess with toys and such. Its really getting on my nerves.

Ive got to get back on the wagon and start counting my cals agian. Im doing the 'eyeball' approach right now and its bound to backfire. So, starting today im back to logging/measuring my meals. well,until thurs & friday..i still have two x-mas get-togethers to go too:confused: ive got to be careful...ive lost 17 very-hard-to-lose lbs so far and i don't want to gain a single one back!:(

Lori-i see..so your old boss never really had an option but to leave..that sucks for him. I hear ya on the eating and leaving family members. My MIL host christmas parties and would always get left with the cleaning..well,until i came along and stayed and helped her:eek:. Afterall,i did live right beside her for almost 8yrs so it really wasn't a problem. And can you believe till this day i have never heard her once say 'thank-you':rolleyes:

Helened-I see that your ticker is showing a loss for this month..that deserves a very big HIGH FIVE girlfriend. I have yet to get my to shift:confused: I saw the clip on that new circuit workout...My first thought was on how pretty Cathe looked in the introduction. Then my second thought was how much i lOVED the outfits. Then i thought, wow...that looks kinda 'intense':confused::p Im crossing my fingers that you get it today!!!

Hey to Belinda, have fun with your family and friends this week. Great job with your workouts girl!!!

bbl, and im NOT going to forget to wear my HRM today:mad:

Oh, i was wondering if anyone has tried those 30-minute workouts by Kelly Coffey-Meyer? Let me know how you liked them.
 
Hey Iris-Nice workout yesterday...looks like you showed those cookies who was boss,lol. Im crossing my fingers your workouts will come soon too..
 
Afternoon,

Belinda: Well done on PH. Now that I bought the entire download library, I will have to give it a try as well. Enjoy all your parties.

Amelia: Thanks for your encouragement. Write down what you eat and keep us posted. You can and will start the year with that 17lbs weight loss in your pocket. Else, you'll have to double the CCs as a punishment when the new year starts! Hummm, wonder if I could think of ways to keep you to it. :p Seriously, you can do it! I have seen incredible commitment from you this year. It's just two punny little weeks!

Lori: Hope you can still get a good workout in. So how many more parties do you have? Sorry about your boss change. I always prefer to stay with what I know I have. But that's just me. I was wondering, do you know how many miles total you ran this year? It would be highly interesting. I bet it's some awesome number. Did you cross the US length wise?

Cookie: Sorry you are eating and stressing. I am doing OK though I dug in some cookies last night..... Wish those would never make it into the house! Anyways, Shock Cardio will get us all back on the right track!

Iris: Yeah, do keep us posted on when you get your packages. I plan on starting when I come back. That means my first STS rotation workout will be on the 6th of January (a wednesday). It would be fun to do it together, but I don't think it will matter if you start a few days before me. So don't wait if you don't want to! We'll have fun doing it together regardless! Are you going to do 3 or 6 1/2 months by the way?

Deb: So how much snow did you end up getting? We got nothing up here. Unbelievable! Loved your card thanks!!!!! I can't imagine what it will be like when my children are older, but I think I will enjoy them now because they are so cute.

Trish: Hope the season is going well for you. Remember your plans to stay fit for Hawaii ;)

Guess who finally made it to the post office :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: Thank you for all your cards everybody!

We're down to the wire. I hope to keep my workouts coming through the end of December and start January with a bang.

I just got done ranting at MIL (email). I hope she forgives me (think she will, we get along). But she mentioned to me that DH might not be encouraged to help me eat healthy because I had some cookies last night. I lost it and emailed back that because I slip once in a while doesn't mean I am a bad example here. After all, most of the time I eat super well and I get up at 4:30 most days to get my workout in. So now here I am ranting to you guys. I'll stop it now, but man it got me hot under the collar!

I hope STC comes today cause I could really use the treat!

Helene
 
Hi girls,

So I had to come home from work to let the plumbers in and when I answer the door he has a package for me and says "special delivery" little does he know how "special" it was STS Cardio:) They are in individual cases so didn't expect so many. Unfortunately will have to shelf them until January:(

Not sure what workouts I will get in this week but will try:confused:

Belinda - Any special plans with your daughter this week? Any malls in Germany:D

Lori - That is messed up for your old boss. Is he out of a job now? Kudos on gettting your workout in yesterday:) I wrapped my MIL presents too, not all of mine though:confused:

Amelia - Sounds like your doing all the right things so don't worry so much:) I have 30 minute workouts by Kelly Coffey-Meyer . . . they are not as intense as Cathe's but good workout when your short on time.

Helene - My SIL & BIL have a way of saying annoying things too . . . sure I'll be ranting about it too:) We got about 6-8 inches my mother who is South Jersey had about 2 feet:eek:

Iris - My weakness is homemade cookies, I'm sure STS will burn them off:) Only wrapped 3 presents yesterday:(

Cookie - Any snow your way? How it go with your son going to the city . . . I heard it was a mess there?

Trish - How many inches did you get?

Have a great day everyone:)
 
Evening,

Well instead of going to the pasta place with the kids and DH I went home hoping to find Shock Cardio on my doorstep. No such luck :( But I still went and did RS in the basement because I didn't get anything done this morning. I was almost done when DH came home and I had to stop because he had to go to soccer. I did 45 minutes and 414 calories (yep, I was jumping on that step :eek:).

MIL wrote back and we are all good. :D Rant over. OK, I have to pay attention to snow white ;) I'll try and BBL.
 
Hi Girls!

What a werid old day! I went to work early, came back, dropped DS off to the sitters, worked out, went back to work, came home and then back to work again. I had to go back to work tonight for the same flight I had earlier. They ran out of crew time so they had to rest for 8 hours. It was a pain waiting for them to call. I knew I had to go back at some time, just didn't know when.

So my workout ended up being a 5.5 mile run and 4 seg of DM. Im not sure what I will do tomorrow. I want to get my weights in when I can this week cause I know there are certain days I will be lucky just to get a run in.

Belinda** Good job with your workout earlier. I love PH! ME is a good one to. Did you order STS cardio?

Ameila** I didn't realize that you had lost 17 lbs! :eek: Plus the other weight you had lost. I guess I wasn't keeping track when you were reporting it to us. I can see why you want to keep this week under control. Its so hard to lose but so easy to gain back!

Helene** I had a giggle when I read you were ticked with your MIL. My family doesn't say things like that to me. It usually the opposite that annoys me. For yrs my mother would always say " I thought you were on a diet" I couldn't put anything in my mouth that wasn't healthy and thats what she would say. I think she thought b/c I worked out that I had to be on a diet as well. Then after having DS and losing alot of weight my MIL ( I think) was keeping an eye on me. I think she thought there was something wrong with me. Should would always pay attention to how much food was left on my plate. It use to drive me nuts! She finally let up when I gained some of it back. Im not sure how far I ran this year, but maybe I will keep a log book this year!

Deb** How come you aren't going to try out STS cardio now??? I think i would have to! My boss may actually end up working for the new owners. That would be a great situation b/c things would probably stay pretty similar to the way they are now. I hate change and I like the way things are now!

Iris** Yes..gotta watch those bartenders!:p I did the same thing the other day re: cookies. I think I ate and ate and ate cookies all day. I didn't have one meal until dinner time! Nice hey?

Isn't it sad that Brittany Murphey died yesterday? I couldn't beleive it when I heard it. Im not a super star freak, I could care less about most of them but I did like her. I guess b/c we are kinda the same age it hits closer to home. It will be interesting to see if it was just natural causes or if her past drug use played a part in all of this.

I will bb bright and early in the a.m!

Lori:)
