Commit to get Fit and Lean for January 2014

Good evening,

Did STS D12 Legs awhile ago plus walked the dogs.

Kirstin - Oh no! Glad you got in the house again:p We also have sliding doors, they open easy:eek: We have a alarm system:D We always had one in the US! I saw in Low's or Home Depot they sell those door barriers for sliding doors. I think they like $10:eek: Not every expensive. Good job with your workout today.

Cookie - Target is selling Jessica Smith workout dvd for $5 on Amazon the same dvd is $10 :D Amazon.com: 10 Pounds Down With Jessica Smith - 2 Workout Set: Jessica Smith, Various: Movies & TV BTW, that dvd is out of print;) You find them at the cash registers;) Not at the sporting goods.

Good night, girls!
 
Hi,

I did Flex Train today. It was a sauce week and happy I have 4 more weeks worth in the freezer now:)

Some girl at the gym told me about a cosmetic testing facility near the gym. So I signed up to test a gel nail polish, must keep in on for 2 weeks & keep a diary and at the end they will pay $50. I thought it sounded good and it's been about 5 days and my nails still look good.

Belinda - Great job with your workouts. Are you feeling better?

Kristin - Too funny I keep pushing if DH or DS are in the room sometimes if I'm losing steam I complain how hard Cathe workouts are;) Our sliders came with a lock on the bottom as well as the handle, not sure if you can purchase that but the stick/pole sounds just as safe. We leave through a different door so we keep both locks on the sliders when we leave, not sure if that is an option.

Amelia - Great job getting 5 workouts in!! I love when they have special low calorie options on a menu, have fun.

Melissa - So sorry that happened to your house in Vermont:( I'm wondering if you should say part of the reason you disabled your account is because during the semester you don't have the time to be on the site. My books are still in my Mom's attic for that very reason I may need to refer to them one day:eek: LOL.

Cookie - You flight was delayed a long time. I couldn't have even kept you company because security is so tight. TG they didn't leave you on the plane all that time!

Goodnight:)
 
Good morning,

Today is a recovery week from STS but not P90X3:p

Debbie - makes me wonder what is in the nail polish to stay on that long:eek:
I am trying to empty my freezer, to cook meal for a few weeks…but my freezer is full. Plus How big is your freezer? Mine is small. Thanks for asking, I am still stuffed up? Have an appointment the end of this month with the ENT.

Waving Hi to everyone that checks in after me. BBL!
 
Morning girls,

Im off today and tomorrow, thank goodness. Yesterday was a rough day at work :(

Not sure what im going to do this week? I may just continue on with 4ds for another three weeks and see what kind of results I get.

Still no P90X. It was suppose to be sent off Christmas week...I hope it didn't get lost in the mail or something?

Belinda-I saw that those workouts were on sale for 5$ Were going into town tomorrow so we may go by target so I can pick up a few workouts. I love Jessica

Kristin-Glad you were able to get into your house. We too have a sliding glass door, its in the back of the house where our big Labrador rules, LOL. she's an excellent watch dog so we're not too worried about someone breaking in through there. We also have a stick that we put back there too. Great job on your workout

Melissa- Great job with your workout!! Bummer about ski trip and the house being flooded, that sucks!! I wouldn't worry too much about the comment, if he starts acting weird then perhaps explain a little why you disabled it?

Debbie- I want to try the nail polish too :D getting paid to wear nail polish sounds like my kind of job. LOL. What kind of sauce did you make? I though about making a soup and freezing it for lunches at work...

Cookie- Great job with your eating. I did really good this past week with my workouts and my eating. I finally took the plunge and stepped on the scale..my heart kinda dropped when I saw the #. But at least I have a starting weight. :)

Lori-What have you been up too lately?

Ok..bb later today with my workout. I rented a movie yesterday at redbox and since its a chick flick ( can't remember the name) I think I will watch it this morning since im by myself :)
 
Good morning! Today I'm going back to the island and I'm actually looking forward to it...I need a break! Yesterday I stopped the dishwasher from running so I could take a shower and I even said I was gonna restart it when I got out, and it was like asking my parents for their life savings lol! :rolleyes:

I have Burn Sets chest/back/shoulders and the Bootcamp part of Intensity on the schedule for today. I'm going to try and get 2 leg days in a week moving forward; my lower body has always been a major source of insecurity for me, and I don't want to spend the summer covered up on the beach again. I figured I can blast them one day with strength and another day with one of the STS plyo workouts, this way I get some cardio in too.

My mom came home from VA last night; she said my cousin's service was really nice and a lot of people showed up. I went out to dinner with her and my dad which was really fun! Back to the grind today.

Cookie, did you get a chance to get X10 in? What did you think? I think I have that one planned for later in the week; I'm excited to try it!

Amelia, WOW five workouts this week, you ROCK!!!! :D I'm sorry to hear you had a bad day at work. Is there any way you can check the shipping of P90X? Yeah, I'm not too worried about disabling the profile. It is what it is at this point. He texted me yesterday afternoon so hopefully he's not too freaked out lol. I just hate the whole dating game and am tired of it. If he doesn't like me, then his loss. I can't beat myself up over it because I've done that in the past and after the last jerk I was with, I promised myself I would never let some guy dictate my self-worth. Ok, getting off my soap box now ;)

Kristin, there's a bonus barre from XTrain?! I had no idea! I'm gonna have to try that one. Nice job breaking into your own house, lol! That was awesome. Our old dog Sandy used to know how to unlock the sliding glass door for me whenever I got locked out of the house haha. Hopefully you got some relaxation time in yesterday.

Belinda, enjoy your semi-recovery week :p Have you ever done the STS undulating rotation? I was gonna check it out, though I have to admit I'm not really sure what it is haha. But I heard people love it.

Deb, I keep forgetting to ask you: what do you think of Nature Box? I really love it! I just got a shipment and I ordered the cheddar pretzels; they are SO good. I also love the figgy bars. Ooooh the nail testing sounds awesome! I wanna get paid to get my nails done lol. My nails are actually pretty gross. With the weather, my hands have been so dry so my nails are breaking. I had to cut them off yesterday :(

Waving hi to Lori!

Have a great Monday everyone!!
 
Good evening,

P90X3 Synergistics and 40 min walk is done!

Melissa - No I haven't done the STS undulating rotation yet, for some reason I alway do the original STS rotation:eek: Good job with your workout.

Amelia - the Target I went to only had one JS dvd for $5. Maybe yours has more:eek: Yeah, on the 5 workouts. Keep up the good work.

Hi Cookie, Kirstin, Debbie and Lori.

I will see you all in the morning. Good night.
 
Hi Girls!


Can't believe I didn't check in all weekend. Saturday I did yoga and the challenge and it was my cheat day. I had the donut I had been craving all week. Yesterday I did cvx and GS legs. And today was abs, the warrior, 10 mins on the tm and chest burn sets. So that completes the 2nd week of P90X3 and I think dh is only half way through his first week. Lol

I just skimmed through the post but don't have time to read them all.

Cookie** dd is in grade 12! DS1 is on grade 1 and the baby will soon be 2. They grow up fast. I would like for them to be a little older but I want to stay 35. Lol

Belinda** depends on how much time I have. Last night I didn't sleep well. I woke a few times during the night. I like to get 60-90 mins in.

Hope everyone else is doing good!! I had a crazy day at work but maybe tomorrow I can check in.

Lori. :)
 
Hi,

I took a yoga class today & I can tell all the New Year's resolutioners are at the gym. The gym is so big you only notice in the parking lot so not too bad.

Cathe made the announcement for NJ RT. I'm thinking about trying for it is anyone else?

So there is no way my nails will last 2 weeks, already (day 6) they are slightly chipping but I do use my hands to much:confused: I wonder how I compare to the others.

Belinda - I know I did wonder what they put in the nail polish it will be in the news soon that it causes something:confused: My freezer is pretty big it has 4 shelves. I bought it along time ago so I am so used to it but really not sure if it is necessary except for my sauces.

Amelia - If it turned out to be a good chick flick let us know. We watched "The Millers this weekend and it had some funny parts but also some weird parts too. I make a tomato/basil sauce with chicken & meatballs.

Melissa - I love the Nature's Box. I've been having them pick the choices, just realized this month their is a list you can choose from. Your choices sound good will try them. My son started school today, you must start late.

Waves hi to Kristin, Cookie & Lori

Goodnight:)
 
Good morning! Today I have abs and a plyo leg workout planned, then I desperately need to go food shopping. Tonight, my roommates are taking me out to dinner for my birthday. The place we are going has whiskey on tap: my favorite!! :eek: Also, it's called Beer, Burgers, and Desserts so this could be dangerous, esp being that it's TOTM :eek:

I guess the profile thing didn't freak him out too much because the new guy called me last night and we were on the phone for 2 hrs. I told my best friend that if he remembered my birthday, I was gonna marry him on the spot; well not only did he remember but he told his mom about me already :eek: We talked about the profile thing too and he's like "Why would that scare me off?" and I said "I dunno, sometimes guys get freaked out by stuff like that cuz it's kind of hinting at a commitment" and he goes "First of all, if I didn't want a relationship, I wouldn't be talking to you for this long and secondly, you doing that makes me like you even more." I feel better after talking it out. We are going out again tomorrow :D

Belinda, I checked out the undulating rotation and it looks interesting. I have so many rotations saved and I want to do them all lol! I want to get some weight off 1st before I go back to hardcore lifting, maybe like 10#s and then I will start STS again.

Lori, what is "The Warrior?" Sounds intense! I can't believe the baby is 2 already :eek: Have you heard from Iris? I was thinking about her the other day.

Deb, that's good that the gym itself isn't too crowded. That's one thing I don't miss about belonging to a gym: the New Year's resolution people! I wanted to go to the RT this year but I think it falls during our finals :( I'm so glad you like Nature's Box! I'm really impressed with them and their customer service is awesome. Yeah, we don't start up again until the 26th. I can't wait to start; I'm bored out of my mind. I bet in a month, that will be another story ;)

Kristin, I had a dream last night about you lol. You posted a video of us at one of the RTs on my FB and when I clicked on it, it transported me to your classroom and we were teaching your kids how to do all the exercises we learned LOL. So weird, I know!

Waving hello to Cookie & Amelia!

Have a great day ladies!!
 
Good evening,

Finished P90X3 Agility awhile ago.

I will catch up on personals in the morning, busy day today:rolleyes:

Good night. BB in the morning.
 
Hey guys. Yesterday ended up being a rest day. After the dog trainer left, I was wiped out. Today I did Gym Style Chest and Triceps. I haven't done really heavy lifting in months, and I definitely have lost some strength. I am thinking of doing GS every other week for a few weeks and then move on to XTrain lifting, but mixing in different cardio with it. I don't know, just an idea.


Not much else to report. . . I am just wiped out today.

Belinda- nice job on the workouts. It'll be interesting to see the results mixing P90X with STS. I am itching to lift heavy again, but I don't want to try to commit to a 3 month rotation right now.

Deb- Where did you see the RT announcement? I don't know if I can go. . . I don't think I can afford it this year. We are planning on getting sod in the backyard this spring. We have to get estimates. Plus, I would like a pool. Not sure. . .

Melissa- HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! This new guy sounds like a keeper. I'm glad you talked it over with him, this way it was out there and you don't have to overanalyze every little detail. Your dream is hysterical. I wonder what my effectiveness rating would be if I taught them how to work out, hahaha.

Lori- too funny about you and DH with P90X3. You'll be done and he will be starting the third week at this rate, hahaha.

Amelia- did you like the chick flick? Sometimes Friday nights when the boys are watching WWE with DH, I'll go upstairs to my bedroom and find the cheesiest chick flick I can find and watch it by myself. It is heaven, haha.

Waving hello to Cookie!

Kristin
 
Hi,

Today I did part of Cardio Core Circuits I forgot how hard that one was but I tried. I found a really good deal on a flight to Florida for the end of January so we're thinking about going.

Belinda - Great job with your workout.

Kristin - The RT info is in the Newsletter at the bottom. I pool will give you lots of summer fun. I don't think I will ever get tired of the GS series.

Amelia - Are you following a rotation?

Melissa - Happy Birthday!!!
He does sound like a keeper!! Enjoy your time off:)

Cookie - I hope everything is ok.

Goodnight:)
 
'Morning!
Belinda, glad you have an ent appt. Just hope it gets figured out once and for all. Meant to respond the other day that I like Jessica's wo and personality, and they come in great for traveling and lighter days. That band wo was really good.
Melissa, so toniight's another date? So smart to talk it out. Happy birthday, sorry I didn't check in yesterday. Hope you had a great day.
Lori, 12th grade?!! Wow, where do the years go? How are your dogs doing? Lol at your dh on week three and you being done.
Amelia, how was the chick flick? I'm liking Jessica Smith also. You're right - that's a starting weight. I've had a small sweet the past two days but have been good otherwise. Tonight and tomorrow have dinner meetings, and those are hard for me.
Deb, I've had the gels a few times and also shellac. They did last a long time. Just didn't like the soaking in polish remover to get them off. They also seem to weaken my nails, and since mine break easily, I decided to stop getting them. However, my nails never looked nicer than when I had them. Mine crack and split a lot. Your sauce sounds great. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water.
Today was MM.
Cookie
 
Morning,

Today is P90X3 yoga.

Cookie - glad you like JS workouts. I like her band workout too.

Melissa - Happy Birthday! He is a keeper:D So happy for you, girl.

Debbie - for some reason, I didn't see the info on the RT on the Cathe's newsletter:) I went tough it twice:eek: DH and I will do a RT trip through the US around the same time? Tickets are expensive, glad you found one.

Kirstin - you always can through in a week or two of heavy weight lifting. I like how you mix up your workouts. Good job.

Amelia - did you get JS's DVD in Target? Good job yesterday.

Lori - you made me laugh about your husband and P90X3:p He is trying, give him credit for that:p My husband is trying to slack off, but I don't let him:p Hope you got more sleep last night. It always looks like you do like 2 hour workouts. LOL! I don't know how you do it? Fantastic job!

I am back later to report my workout. Have a good day and workouts.
 
Hey girls, Today was 20 mins of Slide and glide + 25 mins of total body trisets lower body split.

Cookie-How did your dinner meetings go? Yesterday I was off my calories slightly but today im back on track. 1705 total calories today:) I found two of my older food journals and it was so neat to read through it, it gave me some ideas about some different meals and things I forgot I liked to eat. Nice job with MM, one of my favorites..

Belinda- I never got a chance to go to Target. Oh well :rolleyes: How did your workout go today?

Kristin-The chick flick wasn't very good, I fell asleep on the couch :eek: Nice job with GS yesterday.

Debbie- Great job with CCC. Did I see Florida in your post? :eek::eek: DH and I were just talking about the beach the other day. We're suppose to go to the Tennessee mountains in about a month. I can't wait.

Lori- Awesome job with your 2nd week of P90X3 - wow, your DD is in 12th grade? I can remember you telling us about her being a pre-teen. I've got a 6th grader who's approaching pre-teens..ugh

Melissa-How did your birthday go? Great job with your workouts girl. How is the new guy? Come on..give us the scoop ;):p
 
Hey girls! Thank you for the birthday wishes!! My bday was a lot of fun; we wound up going to a different restaurant than we had originally planned because the one we wanted to go to is apparently closed on Tuesdays :confused: It was good though! Then some friends came over and we had wine and played Wii. My roommate also bought me a chocolate rainbow cake (my favorite), but we were so stuffed that we didn't touch it last night.

The new guy and I had to reschedule our date for tomorrow instead of tonight; he wound up getting booked last minute to shoot a video so he needs to edit tonight. He called me yesterday when he was on the shoot and put his friend/client on the phone and told him to say happy birthday to me LOL. I'm not used to guys actually calling me; usually they just text, so this is kinda nice :D

Today I did Burn Sets bis & tris and the bonus step part from LIS LIC.

Kristin, I'm with you: I lost a lot of strength too. I keep track of all my #s and had to drop almost every single one to be able to complete a full set :eek: Your workout idea sounds good!

Deb, where in FL are you going? where did you find the deal? I would love to visit my cousins for spring break but the flights are so expensive :eek:

Cookie, nice job on MM. My nails also crack and break a lot, so I need to keep them short. It probably doesn't help that I constantly paint them but I love doing my own nails. It's very relaxing.

Belinda, a US RT sounds awesome! Do you guys do those every summer? Where do you think you're gonna go?

Waving hello to Lori & Amelia!

Have a great night :D
 
Hi,

I didn't get a workout in today I hope to double up tomorrow. I'm not busy but with us going to FL for a week I need to double up my work:confused: DH is really stressed so I'm hoping he'll get to relax.

Belinda - A RT through US sounds like a lot of fun! There is still so much of US I want to see. I can't wait to try the yoga.

Kristin - I hope your day wasn't too busy today.

Amelia - I heard the mountains of TN are beautiful. It is going to be hit or miss for beach days but plan to walk the beaches even if I'm bundled up.

Melissa - Chocolate rainbow cake, I never heard of it but I'm sure it is yummy. The new guys job sounds interesting. I signed up for airwatchdog.com and they alert you of deals to the city you want to fly to. I booked directly on Jet Blue and the tickets were $200 each which is a good deal to Tampa, FL. The negative part of Jet Blue is they have limited flights & cities they fly to but they don't charge for luggage & free movies/TV & snacks.

Cookie - This is a paint on home gel polish but it is barely making a week at least for me. I can't do artificial nails because water always gets under them & it one mess. I haven't attempted gel nails because afraid of similar problems.

Lori - Must have been posting when you were & missed your post. Wow, can't believe your daughter is a senior in HS already! Do you have Proms in Canada?

Goodnight:)
 
Good morning,

Yesterday I walked the dogs for 40 min and did P90X3 yoga.

Debbie - when DH and I went to Antigua in Dec, we did nothing except eat and relax. Did wonders for the both of us. It's always stressful going on vacation, with the planning, packing and so on. Once you there, try to relax. You both deserve it:) I am excited for our US trip this summer, DH always been wanting to do it. We plan on going May/June or August/Sept:eek:

Melissa - glad you had fun on your bday. The guy is a keeper:D That's how a guys should treat a girl;) We do like to take trips with our RV. We haven't mapped out our trip yet?

Amelia - do you add cal for your workouts or you stay at 1700 cal a day? I am sure you can find JS's DVD another day in Target. Good job with your workouts.

Today I will do P90X3 CVX and walk the dogs.

Waving Hi to Cookie, Kirstin and Lori. BBL.
 
Hello ladies. Today I have XTrain legs and some form of abs to do. Maybe I'll do Core Max...not sure yet. Last night was the first time in 2 weeks that I actually got a full night's sleep. It was nice. I'm not sure why my sleeping patterns were all off but school starts in a week and a half so I need to get back on track. Speaking of school, one of my professors already started posting lectures/notes that we need to review before class :eek:

Amelia, I think we posted around the same time last night so I totally missed yours! Nice mix of workouts yesterday! I love mixing different workouts together. Which chick flick did you wind up watching?

Deb, hopefully FL will help your DH unwind. And you guys get to escape this weather so that's always good :D

Belinda, I heard Antigua is beautiful! I would love to tour the US in an RV; it's on the bucket list ;) Have a great workout today!

Hello to Lori, Kristin, and Cookie! Have a great day/workout everyone!!
