Good morning,


It feels good to be back:D I still feel like someone sucked the life out of me! I will go to the gym with DH and try to get a short cardio wo in! I have to build up to it again. Monday I have to see the doctor here on base again, until then I will take it slow!

Thanks again for all your prayers! You girls are the best!

I haven't gotten around the forum yet, I will try to catch up with personals! BBL!

Have a great weekend!
 
Oh, Belinda, it is so good to "hear" your voice! Very relieved you are feeling better. Please do take it easy, and thank the dh for us. Maybe windowshopping pace around the track instead of an intense cardio circuit?
Lori, glad you are'nt trying to lose any wt! Really sounds like you are all enjoying the hot tub. Hope you have a king-size bed for all your nighttime visitors.
Deb, I logged on this morning thinking about the rt, and here you mentioned it yesterday! I think she's so organized, if she wants it done it will happen. And I hope she wants it done. How was your evening out? Do you like hip hop?
Amelia, you are so close to reaching your goal that it probably is even more aggravating. If you can drain that on your own, you should be a nurse. I was wincing just reading. Sorry, but I'm a wimp. After spending so much time recently at hosps, I am even more amazed by nurses.
Iris, dancing last night? How are you doing on getting your 7 hrs of sleep? Wish I could do that, 'cause I need it. I did athletic step the other morning not step moves, as I mistakenly said. Which one do you prefer?
Helene, hope you got to sleep last night. You sure have a hectic life. How much longer to your trip?
Trish, are the girls still doing cooking on Sat? How's your shoulder and knees?
It is so cold here, I'm drinking coffee to wake up and warm up. 7 degrees! Think I'll do CCC or Step Moves, not sure yet. Of course, if I wait long enough it could be hiit. Have to take dd to school for a program, get my roots done, and errands. Feel like I'm getting a cold and am even more foggy-headed than usual. Hockey game this evening and we're hosting a brunch tomorrow, so I need to get house cleaning done also. What's on every ones's plans?

Good Morning Ladies

Never made it back last night.....oops. I got home about 7:30 and it was onto page 3 of my cookbook...lol I made an egg white and turkey scramble. It was alright, something I might make once in awhile. Next week will be Breakfast Burritos....I might like those better. Then I caught up on General Hospital, yapped on the phone for awhile, and went to bed late! I will do D4 again today. I really liked MMA Kickbox!! It's between that one and Fusion for my faves.

Belinda- So glad you are home!! And yes, take it easy! (((hugs)))

Amelia- Nice workout yesterday! How's the mood? Any better? (((hugs))) to you too!

Deb- I seriously need to do zumba!! Dang.... And the stretch is about 15 minutes. The bar I work at is a very very big bar AND restaurant. I have a pic of the restaurant part somewhere, I'll have to see if I can learn to post!

Trish- Were you able to squeeze a workout in yesterday? So you like the paper plates eh? It's funny how we all like different things!

Lori- LOL@ eagerly awaiting my return. I bet you were up all night weren't you? :p I can't imagine having kids in and out of my bed all night! I get pissed off enough at the cat! LOL :eek:

Helene-How was the rest of your day yesterday?? I'm glad our long days are over for a minute! Thursday night was hell for me..right outside the bar flooded, and even though no one could figure it out until the next day, it was the pump for our Soda guns..leaking like crazy. I'm changing my name to Polly the Plumber...When I got to work yesterday it wasn't fixed and no one from OTB seemed to know anything...REALLY? I was pissed, and almost pulled out some of my new kickbox moves.

Cookie- You girls need to calm down with the plate exercises...LOL I think the 3 of us should do din din and martini's at Barcelona's one of these nights! Don't you hate when you are so busy and the house gets out of control? So which of the Hiit's do you like the best? I haven't done pyramids yet, but so far 30/30 it is.


Have a great day ladies! BBL

 
Cookie- Just missed ya! Yeah what's up with this cold weather again? I'm glad it's going to get warmer for a couple of days, even though it will rain! I like both step workouts, I could go either way! No dancing last night, I haven't been in awhile...lately I'd rather be home, which is so not like me, but right now I need to focus and not be out partying. (as much) lol. Hope you feel better soon and that you have a great workout!
 
Good Morning!

Feels weird to be using a normal size computer. I have been using DD's mini laptop all week. Now I am back to the computer that skips all over the place if I touch the mouse pad:confused: Drives me crazy!

I had a weird belly yesterday and I think I still have it. I thought it was b/c of the food I ate on Thurs night but now I think I may have caught some kind of bug or something. I feel fine other then 10 ( and Im not lying) trips to the washroom yesterday and 2 already since I woke up and I have only been up for 30 mins:confused: When I lie down I can hear my stomach turning and rolling. Something going on in there!:eek:

I had to go back to work last night until 1:30-2:00, didn't get to bed until then and thought I had to go back at 5 but that flight diverted somewhere else! Thank Goodness!!!! So I slept in a little bit. Im gonna call, just to make sure everything is o.k, then workout and then go in. I probably won't get there till 11'ish or so.

Belinda** I read your post yesterday but didn't have time to respond. Im glad your doing good. I am the same way when its come to be embarassed. When i knocked myself out at work a couple of summers ago, I didn't ask for help after. I got up and went to the washroom where I waited for a while and then I DROVE home! Wasn't bright at all. Then when I got home i started throwing up. So I can see where you are coming from in that regard. I think we are all like that to a certain degree unless your an attention seeker and then they would do anything to get anyones attention:eek: Take 'er easy though! I would love to get an assesment done on my fitness level. I know I am in good shape...but I would just like someone to tell me:p

Cookie** Have a good workout. I enjoyed CCC, it was fun. We have a queen size bed which is o.k for the 3 of us. Last night DS slept with us again b/c the girl that lives with us...that is moving out, as no furniture left so we told her to sleep in DS's bed cause there was a good chance he was gonna sleep with us anyway. He woke up around 4'ish cause I think he was hot. I can't imagine that it is very cold sleeping between DH and I.

Helene** Did you get your workout in yesterday???? Im sure you will make up this weekend.

Ameila** Good job with your workout today. When I go to walmart today I am gonna see what they have in yoga dvds. I wouldn't mind having some short yoga dvd workouts. I really need to stretch more.

Im gonna make sure I didn't miss anything and then I will return!

Lori:)
 
Iris** We were posting at the same time as well. Its probably a tie to see who as the longer post....you or I!;) Are you working this weekend? I like making different things for breakfast as well but rarely ever do. I was trying to find a good recipe for healthy waffles but my stupid waffle maker was cheap so it was a flop!


Deb** Did you have fun last night?? Sounded like fun! You certainly had more fun then I did;)

DS has a b-day party after I get off of work and then we are going to my MIL's friends house for dinner. Its oh so enjoyable for me b/c all you see is glass....glass...glass....great place to take a 3 year old!

Lori:)
 
Morning,

Time to catch up on personals! :D

Belinda: Glad that DH is going with you to the gym. That makes me feel better knowing that. I hope you don't have another spell. These weird things freak me out really! But great that you impressed the docs with your fitness level! :eek:

Amelia: Yikes about draining the thumb. I still got shivers on that one. Yeah, I am a bit squeemish. I hope your workout goes well on Sunday. I am up 2 pounds. Work always gets in the way of my best laid plans for fitness and eating.

Cookie: You are so busy! How is your mom doing? Is she much better now? Enjoy your busy weekend. Hockey games and all. I wonder what sports DS and DD will take up when they grow up. I have no preference, I will an equal opportunity cheerer :p

Iris: Yikes about the bar plumbing problems. And yes, I could do din din at Barcelona's. That's a great idea. Let's set something up in February. It would be a lot of fun to get out and let DH take care of the kids one evening too :p I loved Kickbox MMA too. That wo defines having fun and working out at the same time. I didn't give fusion another try, I wasn't good with the rolling thing. Hiit pyramid is a lot of fun. I like all of them. I love the running man on the step in 40/20. I couldn't believe how that one move for 40 seconds made my legs feel like jello.

Lori: I think you should get a bed for yourself and DH and not tell anybody else where it is. Then maybe you could sleep just the two of you just once in a while! Have a good workout later. Is it hard to go back out in the evenings for these flights or are you just used to that being your job now? Have a nice wo today! And good luck keeping DS away form all the glass!

Deb: Sounds like Zumba would teach me some dance moves. Are you having to drive DS around a bit. I had to laugh at him being able to go to the docs but you having to do the rest :confused:. Have a great day today. I think you asked me how STS was going. I only got one week in this month. Don't know how that happened. :confused: Is it hard to sign up for the road trip? I might try to go this year if you and Cookie are there as well. I just have to be careful with my vacation time.

Trish: Hope you have a good crazy weekend planned. I didn't realize you were doing elliptical workouts. I thought you were running that fast :eek: Wouldn't that be cool!

Well what a week it has been for me. I put in close to 60 hours :(. Oh well, it is what it is. I was working like crazy to finish my work last night too before I leave for a week. Oh yeah, I won't have internet so no checking in for me for a week. Which mean I can't check work email either :p So I only worked out a couple of times and didn't eat so well. Thank god MIL was still here to help. They left yesterday morning and will be back for a couple of weeks in March.
I am "treating" myself to BM2 scrambled eggs this morning. Then I am going to pack the bags because we are leaving tonight. I have plans to do a lot of running and playing as my workouts for the coming week. I already know where the gym is so I'll just need my running shoes. I can't wait.

OK, I will be back next week. Have a great one all of you.
 
Good Morning girls,

mmm,have no idea what workout to do today. Im doing MM agian tomorrow so today will have to be a cardio...but what? So sick of doing step aerobics. Maybe i will wait for DH to get up then jump on the treadmill for some Coach Sean;) and since im still in a 'mood' i will do some yoga..its the only thing lately that keeps me sane:confused:

Belinda-yay,your back!! so glad to hear your ok. Im glad the doctors couldn't find anything wrong with you but im sure you wondering what it was that made you so faint. Please listen to the doctors and take those rest days....superwomen;):p. I admit that i was lol at you taking advantage of the stress test to get your cardio in,sounds like you:p. Do you like yoga?

Cookie-Busy day for you today. No plans for us today,besides sitting on our rear ends;). Im sending you some anti-cold vibes...ugh. How is your mother doing?

Helened-Have a great week! If you get a chance, check in and let us know how your doing,k. Im sure your 2lbs is water...im still up two myself:rolleyes: Ive been doing great too,right on target w/my cals and workouts... TOM is next week so maybe thats the culprit.

Iris-Enjoy your workout today. How is your mom doing lately?

Lori- Walmart has a few(the one down here anyway) yoga workouts. There are a few that i want to get but there always sold out. It never occurred to me to order them online until recently:rolleyes:. Im really enjoying yoga, I can tell im getting stronger with every yoga workout. enjoy your workout today...

Debbie-What on tabs for today?

Trish-How is your day going?

i will bbl

Hi Girls,

Workout complete and I am at work now. Its gonna be a short day considering I just got here and its lunch time:D Maybe getting called out at night isn't so bad after all?

I did Circuit blast today and I have to say, I didn't think it was very tough at all. I barely broke a sweat so I hoped on the TM for 30 mins and ran just over 3.5 miles. Im still trying to figure out when I will get legs in.

Helene** I guess working a crazy week is paying off b/c now you get to go on a nice holiday! Woo Hoo! We have opted not to do anything this year but there is a good chance we might change our minds:p Enjoy your workout today!

Ameila** I have seen a couple of dvds here, if there good or not remains to be seen. I would like to run out now b/c walmart isn't far from here...but I just got here:confused: So maybe I should sit still for a while!

BBL!
Lori:)
 
Good morning girls,

I drive DS to work again, the good thing is we get to talk so I don't mind. Both DS's girlfriends went to see Lady Gaga in concert the other night. Wow, it sounded like a great concert. They were right behind Puff Daddy and he said hello to them. I would love to go just to see the costume & hair changes:eek:

I'm feeling much better now. We had a lot of fun last night but had 2 glasses of wine and was quite buzzed and had 2 more:eek:. My SIL's couldn't believe it . . . but for some reason when I'm out with friends I just pick at my food so the liquor hits me hard . . . ugh! Well I'm going to do Disc 9 legs and hope to finish back on Disc 8.

Belinda - Please do take it easy and follow Dr.'s orders;) I bet DH is keeping an eye on you.

Cookie - The brunch sounds so good . . . the cleaning part not so much:D

Iris - Your breakfast ideas look good. Which cookbook are you reading?

Lori - You have a lot to do after work today. I could just imagine all the little fingerprints on your MIL's glass:eek:

Helene - You earned your vacation after last week. Maybe it's a good thing no internet. Have fun and enjoy:)

Amelia - I just read in OD that Sean is in the process of making more Cardio Coaches can't wait.

Trish - Any plans for the weekend?

Have a great day everyone:)
 
Hey girls, workout done. I couldn't decide on what cardio to do so i did Winsor Fat burning cardio, it was fun...i did the ending part twice so i could squeeze out few more calories. Burned 260 in all.

Debbie-Yeah, Lady Gaga has some interesting costumes. She was on Ellen(i think it was ellen) until then,ive never seen her before and wow, she was over the top with her whole outfit:eek:. What kind of wine do you like? So far my favorite is White Zinfandel, I think i will join you tomorrow and have few glasses myself...cheers!!;)

Lori-Great workout...I want to try Gaiam workouts, i hear there really good. There are two at walmart that ive noticed.

hey to everyone,have a great day!
 
Amelia: nice workout. I hope your ticker will have moved by the time I get back (you have two weigh-ins).

Lori: Haven't tried circuit blast yet. Hum about not getting a sweat. LOL at have to get a run in afterwards.

Deb: Glad you get to talk with DS. Yep, I earned a bit of vacation!

Did get BM2 scrambled eggs in. 669 calories gone.
You enablers. I got a couple coach cardios to take with me :eek:. I'll repport on them when I get back.

All right, I'm out. See you in a week!
 
Hi girls,

Legs workout done so far. DH is still not feeling well not sure what we'll do for dinner.

Amelia - I actually prefer sweet drinks but for wine I either have red or white. My SIL's love white zin too:)

Helene - I'm not sure if you left yet. The NJ roadtrip is hard to get into you should be on the computer when sign up begins. Cathe usually gives a couple weeks notice when it will begin.

Have a great night everyone:)
 
Figured I would check in while I am waiting for DS to go to bed. He has had a little bit of a temp all day so I think we will probably be in for a rough night cause he must be brewing something. We didn't go anywhere today....no b-day party...and no house with glass;) It was just as well to keep him inside and germs to himself. I would have enjoyed going to the party though and chatting with my friends.

Helene** Enjoy your CC workouts while you are gone! Good job with your workout!

Deb** I bet Lady gaga was awesome! I think she is wicked...bit of a freak...but wicked! She is an awesome singer and entertainer. I would love to see her in the future! You sound a bit like me last weekend, 2 drinks and I was done!

Ameila** Thanks for the tips on the yoga dvds, I will have to see which ones they have here.

O.k...its bedtime I think. He was yawning an hour ago but now he is WIDE awake! Go figure!

Lori:)
 
Howdy girls,

Sorry for being MIA yesterday. I had great wos though - B&G Overall Leg in the morning and Shoulders and triceps @ the gym. I have pretty good doms going on in my rear and legs;) Today was a rest day. Not sure what I will do tomorrow. I'm going to get on itrain tomorrow and see what's new so probably I will do some cardio.

Belinda - Glad you are feeling better and following doctor's orders and taking it easy!

Lori - I know...when she first mentioned the "toasting" pound cake thing, I thought she was kidding, but after tasting it, OMG!! Soo good! What wo did you do today?

Amelia - Fingers crossed that we both have good weigh-ins tomorrow;) I had mexican for my cheat meal today and then honey plaintain chips from Trader Joe's. I hope it didn't do me in.

Deb - Your zumba class sounds like fun. I tried one at my gym but didn't care for it much. I may give it another try one day. Did you see Lady Gaga's interview on Oprah? I have been meaning to see it on youtube. Supposedly the performance was awesome.

Cookie - The girls are still taking cooking lessons. They actually take them from my dietitian so I see her pretty regularly. They enjoy it, but I'm hoping to introduce them to them to new foods through her. So far it's working. We did a kids food tasting today at Whole Foods and my 7YO tried EVERYTHING. It was unbelievable, but she is definitely opening up a bit. How has work been treating you?

Helen - When do you go on vacay? I've already started planning our Dec. 2010 trip! LOL! I need a life, ey?? You and Amelia are both doing so good on your mini challenges! I hope the scale has good news for me tomorrow.

Iris - Breakfast burritos...sounds yummy! Have you ever made a frittata? I've been meaning to try it. I'm trying something new this week and am planning all my meals for the upcoming week ahead of time. I'll see how I do next week.

I'm getting sleepy so off to bed I go. Hope I didn't miss anyone.
