Commit to get fit and lean for Jan 11, 2010

Good Morning Ladies

Today is Disc 2 again...Back and Triceps. Yesterday I ended up doing 40/20
(I stuck with the rotation) and did Ab Circuits: Pilates. Let me tell you something, this is the first time in a very long time I have DOMS in my abs. What a workout!

Ok so quick little ditty about me for those who asked yesterday. I had a wind quintet rehearsal last night. My first time sitting in with this group. I play french horn, have for years. I have my degree in music, taught music, etc. When I left teaching, I stopped playing as well. (Stupid me) But now I've been playing again for six months with a local brass choir, horn quartet, and now wind quintet. And even though I can still play, I lack the endurance I once had. Just like working out, these embouchure muscles need to be worked everyday!.....and that's hard when life gets in the way! lol But it's getting better..............

Belinda- I love STS and Band work as well!!! Do you use the newer band?

Amelia- wow, kudos to you for going to wallyworld on a Sunday!! How did you fare??

Lori- Sunday's and Tuesday's are my days off. Does your schedule rotate?

Helene- Once you really get into Fusion I think you will like it! A lot of people like the boxing, and I do to, but I love the challenge of fighting...:eek: So I like all the different moves it offers with the legs and stuff. Have you done kickboxing yet?

Hi to Deb and Cookie! BBL
 
Good Morning Lovelies!:)

Im feeling pretty good even though I had a hard time getting to sleep. I checked on DS before we went to bed and covered him up, I knew I had disturbed him but I was hoping he was going to go right back to sleep. Just as I get in my bed...I hear him coming to get into ours. That's when he tossed and turned and did it all. The dog was in and out from in under the bed, DH was coughing, DD was getting ready for bed so you could hear everything she was doing...you name it...it was happening:confused: I finally took him back out into his own bed and took my pillow with me but my pillow seemed really high in his bed and was resting his head on my pillow as well. So I get up again and swtich pillows with DD. Then I have to get him some juice! The last time I looked at the clock it was 12:46. I don't think I was up much after that.

Todays workout is gonna be cardio and disc 3. I should have lots of time to do it b/c there isn't much going on here today. My dog is sheding and I don't know why. Isn't it to early? Could it be b/c of the weird weather we are having? Well, its freezing out today...maybe the sheding with stop! LOL If not he will be awfully cold for the next few monthes. As soon as I got home yeseterday I swept and mopped downstairs, then I vacummed the family room. One of DH's friends came for a visit this weekend ( if your wondering "NO" we are never home alone, as soons as one person leaves, someone else shows up!") and when I look he is petting the dog full force and Im thinking...COME OFF OF IT! Do you not see the fur that is flying everywhere??? All the work I just did was pretty pointless.

Belinda** Good job with your workout. I love the band work as well! Gets in there good!!!!

I am going to read yesterdays thread and see what I missed!

Lori:)
 
Belinda** You had MORE snow yesterday?:confused: We have a little bit, nothing worth talking about but it is freezing out there today! I wanted to take the dog outside to brush his coat but its to cold.

Helene** Good job with the weight loss. When do you leave for vaca and how long are you gone for? I was debating signing up for a Fall marathon yesterday but I think I should wait and see what happens with work. We haven't heard from the new owners in a while so no one really knows whats going on. We think things are going to stay the way they are but I should probably wait before I start booking trips!

Ameila** Glad you enjoyed your workout! I never buy anything thats not cathe b/c I have wasted so much money in the past. I purchased a few Mindy ones but she is just to hyper and annoying. I also use to own...geez...I forget what they are calling...CS (something) and I # always followed it. I never got the hang of those either.

Iris** So thats what rehersals were all about. Do you miss teaching or playing? You could always teach on the side to make a little extra dough?

O.k...I have dog hairs to sweep up again and breakfast to eat!

I will bbl!
Lori:)
 
Morning,

Today will be a cardio workout. May do a CC after DH wakes up.
The kids are home because of the ice on the roads...

Belinda-Nice job w/the workout. Im not sure about the ticker? Maybe i forgot to put in a loss one week? I plan on showing some after pics soon. Ive still got 14lbs more until i hit my original goal.(hopefully i will be satisfied with that cause im getting tired of dieting,lol, my husband thinks i i will never be satisified:rolleyes:)

Iris-You too,great workout yesterday & high fives on the doms. Ive got some doms from PH abbs the other day. Ive heard the french horn is hard to learn.... Why did you stop teaching?(if you don't mind me asking:eek:) Oh,and walmart was a mad house yesterday...everyone was shopping for food:eek: and i forgot my grocery list:mad:

Lori-My goodness...long night for you:confused: Maybe your doggie is getting an early start on the shedding? Enjoy your workout today!

Hello to everyone that follows...bbl

Good morning girls,

Yesterday was a bit lazy because of the anniversary party and too many drinks. For some reason I had major DOMS in my legs from M1 Disc 3 the only difference from the last time was I used Cathe's 10lb. weight vest:confused:

I'm going to the gym to either spin or run on the TM then off to work.

Belinda - For some reason STS feels different this time around for me. I'm glad your enjoying it:)

Iris - I'm impressed, I think it is great when people have musical talent and use it:) I'll have to try ab circuits pilates.

Lori - It sounds like you had a crazy night last night. Your home must be too comfortable and that's why you have so many visitors:D

Amelia - Great job with the weightloss . . . your doing everything right:)

Helene - Are you doing an STS rotation?

Cookie - I hope your weekend was relaxing.

Trish - Hi

Have a great day everyone:)
 
Hey Girls!

Just getting a few minutes to surf the web:D I did my workout early, laundry,cleaned up a bit and then after lunch DS and I ran to a couple of stores. It is sooo cold outside and its getting windier! I really hate everything about winter:confused:

My workout this a.m was ME abs, 30 mins on the TM (3.5 miles) then 4DSBC and then disc #3. I will probably go ahead and do disc 4 tomorrow b/c I am back to work on wed so I probably won't do weights on those 2 days.

Ameila** Did you get your workout done? We haven't had to many snow days yet. DD has a v-ball tournament this weekend. We told her last night that there will probably be a storm on Fri! LOL It was cancelled last fall b/c of the H1N1.

Deb** Maybe I should stop being nice to everyone;) When Dh's friend came yesterday we thought he was only here for one night. DH called me yesterday while he was waiting for his friend ...and I said " when is he leaving" Dh said " i don't know" He usually visits once a month. He is a police officer and he is living in a pretty rural area right now so whenever he as any downtime, he usually shows up here and of course, its usually on my weekends off.

I may bbl!
Lori:)
 
'Afternoon!
Belinda, but you are famous to all of us! Smart idea not to shovel. Please don't.
Amelia, no school? How much snow did you get? I saw on tv slippery roads and accidents in Georgia and thought of you. Hope you stayed home today.
Iris, a ms and hs music teacher? Never knew that. Usually that send people to drink not bartend. Glad you are getting back into playing.
Lori, can I come stay too? Or, wait, let me send over one of my many sons! You're a generous person.
Helene, one of the ds went to Atlantis and really enjoyed it Have you been there before?
Deb, how are you feeling now? I used her new 20# one on the last legs wo, and wow, did I feel it? I like the velcro closing in the new one - did you get one?
Well, my mom took a turn for the worse. Took today off again 'cause of it. That plus I am flat out exhausted. Think it is the stress of the hospital and trying to keep up with everything else and not being able to. I am behind in office work!
Gonna go down and try to squeeze in a wo.

Hi girls,

I was able to get done really quick today at work. The stores are quiet (everyone probably ran out of $$$'s) and no deliveries yet.

I'm going to try and do Ab circuit pilates and then watch some TV not much else to do this time of year:D

Lori - When I first read your message I thought you meant he was staying a month:eek:

Cookie - I'm so sorry your Mom isn't well yet. Will send positive vibes your way. Enjoy your workout tonight and take care of yourself. I think I may get the 20lb. vest in a few months.

Have a great night everyone:)
 
Evening ladies!!

I hope you are all doing well. We returned from HI yesterday morning. Still trying to adjust to the time difference. We all had a great time there - especially the girls. They were excited by everything! The temp stayed in the 80s most days but there were one or two days in the 60s which didn't bother us but the locals really bundled up! I am so out of touch..hope all has been well for you guys. I only worked out twice while away (Once was the result of a sit-up challenge by DH! You know who won that one;)) which I'm sure didn't put a dent in all the excessive eating. Oh well, I needed a new challenge for 2010.

Will check in with you guys tomorrow. Planning to get on the scale in the morning to see just how bad the damage really is.

Sweet dreams!
 
Good evening ladies,

Quick check-in. Never did find time to finish my workout yesterday. Did get athletic step done this morning and I really really enjoyed it. I am starting to get it done really good (I think I've done it three times now) so the fun factor goes up. Haven't done M2 legs yet, tomorrow morning will do.

Went to the pasta factory with the kids tonight. Now that was a cheat meal all right. Back to the grinder tomorrow.

I'll be back in the morning with coffee for personals.

Cookie: Lots of hugs!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will keep your mom in my prayers and please try and take good care of yourself.

Helene
