Commit to get Fit and Lean for January 2014

Good morning,

Last night I did STS D14 legs and P90X3.Accelerator. I was busy cleaning/organizing my son's room. DH and I will paint the bathroom on the second floor this weekend. What color is your bathroom? The old color is lavender, don't like it!

Today is P90X3 Pilates and maybe STS D15.

My ENT appointment isn't until Friday:eek:

Cookie - I can't wait for warmer weather. That DVD is w/Chalean Johnson from her Turbo Jam series. I love those workouts, so much fun and yes, there is a modifier which is a plus in my book. Can't do those high impact moves anymore, in P90X3 I have to modify a lot.

Debbie - the roads are really bad here too:( It's really cold on top:(

Melissa - I think all your snow blew to our side:p This is a lot of snow we got this year and it's cold. Good job on your workout yesterday. Haven't done step in ages. Amazon sold UY half price a few weeks ago.

Waving Hi to Kirstin, Lori and Amelia!

I will be back after my workouts.
 
Good morning! Today's workout will be MM upper body only and Circuit Blast. This has been the 3rd day in a row where I a) went to bed (relatively) early and b) got a full night's sleep. Thank God because I was kind of concerned with whether my sleep patterns were going to improve before school started up again :D

So I have a dilemma: we have to decide where we want to do our 2 internships next spring. I definitely want to try and do Burke Rehab in Westchester, but initially I was thinking of doing my 2nd one in West Palm. I have a lot of family down there and I really love the area, plus I'm considering moving there. Only thing is, if I moved it wouldn't be for another 5-10 years; I want to work up here and save some money first, plus my parents won't be ready to move until my mom retires and I don't want to be too far from them. I was thinking, since our last clinicals are basically where we get job offers, should I even bother with FL right now, or stick to NY since this is where I am going to live for a few years? I need a job right out of school because I really don't want to move back home, I'll have loans to pay off, and I want to build my resume. What do you guys think?

Cookie, I'm curious: what do the sulfites do to affect your foot the way they do? Nice workout yesterday!

Deb, one more day! You must be excited for your trip. Wow, you guys got hit hard too. I'm not sure how much snow we got. I haven't left the house so I'm not sure what the parking lots look like yet but I'm heading to Kohl's today to look for sports bras so I guess I will find out :eek:

Belinda, you need to teach me how to be more handy around the house lol. That is one thing I definitely want to learn! My parents' bathrooms are cream and they have dark wood cabinets. Let us know how your ENT appt goes tomorrow!

Amelia, are you still working on your blog? I haven't logged in to blogger in years so I tried yesterday and all my subscriptions are gone :eek:

Waving hello to Kristin & Lori! Have a great day!
 
Hey girls,

Just finished Step Moves. My knee's kinda hurt during some of the turns but I did pretty good. My plantar Fasciitis is back :mad: It comes and goes, guess it will for the rest of my life..gah, I need to buy some more shoes I guess :rolleyes:

Whats up with the weather in Ga? Its like Antarctica outside:eek: good grief:confused: it actually started snowing yesterday...nothing was sticking but it was enough for people to get excited. LOL

Melissa-Great job with PRS yesterday and have a great workout today. Loved reading about your date, sounds like you have a nice guy!:) I would stick to NY for now..you can always move to FL later :)

Belinda-How was your workouts? Good luck with your ENT apt.

Debbie-Have you started packing yet? 50's and 60's sound nice. Hope you have a nice time!

Cookie-Nice workout yesterday, how was your day today?

Hello to Kristin and Lori:)
 
Good evening,

Today I did STS D15 (BB) and P90X3 PilatesX, that one was tough:confused: My core was on fire.

Melissa - with time you will be handy around the house too;) From what I am reading here, you are not doing to bad:D Still haven't decided what color I want for the bathroom? The cabinets are white! I'll bet your parents bathroom colors.

Amelia - if you want to see snow, I mean a lot of snow..come to VW:p I haven't done a step workout in ages, my PF is still mess up. Need to get an MRI on of those day's:eek: BTW, good shoes are a must when working out! And good insoles. I can't do any jumping, have to keep everything low impact. Getting good at modifying workouts:)

Debbie - can I come with you to Florida?:D I really hate this cold/snowy weather!

Cookie - how is your foot doing? Why did you get your foot problems? I still didn't google sulfites. What do you do about it? How do you threat it?

Kirstin - how is Baxter doing in this weather? My dogs won't even go outside! Wimps! LOL!

Lori - hope you have a great workout.

I will be back tomorrow. Good night, ladies!
 
'Evening!
Belinda, I heard WV had a lot of snow. Typing that, I thought of John Denver and that song Country Roads. When I was young, I remember going to a church camp in WV. That was a long, long time ago! So, tomorrow is your ent appt?
Melissa, I'm not understanding what's going on w/my feet to tell the truth! I developed morton's neuroma in the right one. Then a few months ago, starting getting needle-like pains from my toes to the middle of my left foot. The dr says it is probably a reaction to sulfites in wine. Let's just say my alcohol consumption has cut way, way down b/c the pain is really aggravating. I have lupus, and he said it went along with it. If you are pretty sure your parents are moving to FL, you may want to do the internship there so you can find out if you would want to live there yourself.
Kristen, how are you doing? Are you walking Baxter in this cold?
Lori, where have you run off to?
Deb, bet you are soooo happy to be going to a warmer clime. We're jealous. How long will you be there?
This morning in my rush out the door, I realized my fitbit was missing. Looked but couldn't find it and had to run a meeting, so I couldn't be late. Was so happy to come home and find it just laying on the floor in my closet waiting for me! Didn't realize how much I got used to it and checking on my steps during the day.
Cookie
 
Amelia, sorry I hit post too quickly. Isn't this weather crazy. DH was back in Augusta and he couldn't believe the temps! Do your kids have winter coats?
Cookie
 
Good morning,

After my ENT appointment I will do P90X3 CVX.

Cookie - your post made me laugh! I also have to think about John Denver every time I drive through WV:p My husband sings his songs just to get me rolling:eek:Glad you found your fitbit, I never found mine:confused: Missed it at first, but after a few weeks I was relieved:) No more pressure!

I will be back in the afternoon. Have a great workout.
 
Morning

Im up early getting DS on the bus & drinking my coffee. I plan on getting a workout in before work this morning. I don't have to be there until 9:30 :)

P90X came :D:D:D Think I will start it Monday.

Belinda-I certainly don't want to be around any snow. LOL. You can keep it up there :p I know - I need to get some more work shoes and workout shoes. It seems they wear out so quickly :( and good shoes can be expensive :confused:

Cookie-So glad you found your fitbit. Where do you wear it on your body? I used to wear mine inside my bra then I switched and started wearing it in my pocket. None of us really have heavy winter coats..I just tell the kids to wear layers until this cold snap is gone. They have those heavy hoodies that work ok - there not really outside that long anyway.

ok.. I will check back in after my workout. Not sure what im doing?
 
Power Hour done this morning. Didn't have time for core but will do it tomorrow :) I'm just glad my workout is done for the day now I can relax after work :cool:

have a great day girls
 
Good morning! Today is an active rest day for me, so I plan on doing 30 min of yoga and some abs. Honestly, knowing today was a rest day is the only thing that got me through my workout yesterday. I don't know what I was thinking combining MM and Cardio Circuit Blast, but my body is feeling it today :eek: This afternoon I'm gonna do some homework (so it begins...I have 3 40-min lectures to listen to for Tuesday :() and then I'm going to the new guy's house tonight.

My roomie has been doing Crossfit for a few months now and really cleaned up his eating; I noticed he looked like he lost weight since I left for break so I told him, and now he is like my BFF lol! We got along well before, but now he's being super nice like doing my dishes and taking out the garbage without prompting. It's the little things lol ;)

Amelia, I didn't know you have PF :( YAY for P90X! You will love it! Let me know what you think of the yoga when you get to it. I think I only did it in its entirety twice because I wimped out :eek: Nice job on PH; that workout is so much fun!

Cookie, oh man I'm sorry to hear all that is going on with your foot. MN sounds awful :( I'm gonna look up the effect sulfites have on the body, that is interesting. My parents are only moving to FL if I go, and even if they do they will only spend half of the year there. My friend wants to do her clinical in Hawaii, and we were weighing our options together yesterday and both came up with the same pros & cons. I'm meeting with my clinical advisor next Thursday to talk to her and see what she says. Glad you found your FitBit!

Belinda, how did your appt go? LOL I know what you mean about not missing your FitBit; I charged mine yesterday with the intention of wearing it today and I just couldn't be bothered putting it on lol. Maybe once classes start and I am moving around more I will. Maybe you can do a neutral color, like a lighter brown for the bathroom? I love neutrals.

Waving hello to Kristin, Lori, and Deb! Have a great day everyone :D
 
'Morning!
Belinda, is today your painting day? You must sleep well from doing your workouts. Thanks again for mentioning Jessica Smith til I finally tried her.
Amelia, with you I think of Ray Charles' version of Georgia on My Mind. Love that one. Good shoes are important, and it has taken me a long time to start accepting that. So are you doing P90 now?
Melissa, how was the date? You're right it is the little things, plus making someone else feel good makes me feel better.
Kristen, hope you're doing well. Have another pd day - when did teaching turn into six days a week of going in?
Deb, are you in Florida? Hope so, for your sake. It will be a welcome break from snow and cold.
Went to hockey game last night, and our team won for a change. They play again tonight but against a tougher team. It sure isn't easy being a fan. Going to do some 100s before getting ready to leave for work.

Good morning,

Sorry for not checking in yesterday. Yesterday I had two ENT doctors in (Walter Reed) did a Endoscopic Sinus Exam for Sinusitis. I had Endoscopic Sinus Exam done at least 100 times, it still get sweaty palms every time:( They looked at my CT scan, they a little worry about the swelling/air pockets on my right sinus. They put me on a month medication, than I have to get another CT scan in 4 weeks.

I never got a workout in yesterday. So today means I have to double up!

Cookie - glad I could help:D And JS's workouts are all free!

Melissa - now, you get me interested in a fitbit again:confused: How was your date?

Amelia - P90X is a fantastic program. Have fun next week.

Hi Kirstin, Debbie and Lori!

I will be back later. Have a great day!
 
Hi everyone. I'm back from the dead. I was so sick all week. Luckily we had a snow day on Wednesday. I stayed in bed all day Monday and then again Wednesday. my first workout all week was today. I did FT.

DH and I are going out to dinner with friends, so I have to get ready. I will BB tomorrow with personals.

It feels good to be back :)

Kristin
 
Evening girls! Today I did P90X Kenpo X. I like that workout, even though it is kind of slow compared to Cathe's kickboxing stuff. Today was pretty busy; I helped conduct interviews all day for the potential incoming PT students at the new campus. I was nervous for them lol! Some of them were a little arrogant though; one girl actually wore jeans and another was arguing with one of the staff and pretty much talking down to her. Good luck getting in, people! Tonight my friend may come over but the roads are pretty bad by me even with the small amount of snow we have :rolleyes:

The new guy and I never wound up hanging out last night; his video shoot ran later than expected and I had to get up early this morning. I have decided that I need to let go of what my last A$$**** boyfriend did to me though, because I can feel I'm already carrying that baggage into this and I really shouldn't be. He would constantly blow me off and cancel plans, saying he was "too tired," meanwhile he worked MAYBE 30 hrs a week and most of the time, he went out with his friends after lying to me about wanting to go to bed. I've only known this new guy for a month, but so far he hasn't given me a reason not to trust what he says. He actually called me when he got out last night but I was already sleeping (he's probably called me more times in these past 4 weeks than my ex ever did during the 10 months we were together). This is part of the reason why I want to take things slow, because I need to feel him out due to the atrocity that was my last relationship (why I stayed as long as I did is beyond me). We are gonna spend the day together tomorrow.

Cookie, good shoes are SO important lol! If there's one thing I took away from my prosthetics & orthotics class is that shoes can really make a difference. Hope you had fun at the hockey game last night!

Belinda, hopefully the medication will help a bit and maybe they can figure out what's going on. Nice job on your workout today!

Kristin, welcome back! Glad you're feeling better. Have a great time at dinner tonight!

Amelia, great job on the workout today! You're on a roll :)

I wish I was with Deb in FL ;)

Waving hello to Lori! Goodnight ladies!
 
'Morning!
Belinda, hope this medication finally takes care of the problem. That was a long day. I really like Jessica's upbeat way of leading; for me, that is very motivating and makes me want to keep coming back. To me, that's more important than the music and backgrounds. It is interesting what appeals to folks.
Amelia, nice job on the workouts, girl! My new nemesis is Sun Chips! WTH thinks those are good to provide as a snack? Apparently, where I've been having workshops lately. Believe it or not, I never had them before the past couple of months, and now they are like a siren calling me to them. So, here I am on the record, stating I will not answer that call any more. Nope, I've withdrawn from Doritos and I can do it from Sun Chips. Evil little 210 calorie wasters.
Kristen, sorry to hear you were sick. Thought something had to be up. Whatever is going around sure gives folks a beating. Hope you're taking the time to rest and fully recover. BTW, I told a colleague at work the other day, I try extremely hard not to open doors at work with w/o a paper towel or something else to attempt to ward off germs. So he took a wipe and swiped the door knob - it was filthy. Sure made that second-year teacher think twice!
Melissa, its hard to let go off past experiences, but you're right in that you can't judge him based on someone else. It's amazing to me how rude and entitled some folks can be.
Deb, hope Florida is warm. I'm looking at the thermometer and it is 1 degree here! I heard even Atlanta is cold! Do you bring workouts with you?
Push/Pull is calling me this morning, and I'm going in a few minutes. Forgot to answer about the FitBit yesterday: I usually wear it on my bra but had it loosely attached to me pants the other morning, just to have it on, when it fell off. I don't belong to any groups or anything, but like seeing how many steps I get from moving around. I only use it for steps and log them in them in an Excel file. Then I can pretend I am walking across the country. A few years ago, I did it w/a pedometer to walk the Appalachian Trail. On days I don't get a wo completed in the morning, it motivates me to keep moving. Now, dh has a zip and is a very competitive person. He likes to try to get more than me, but I really don't care. However, since he clips it on his pocket, he often forgets to move it between work and other clothes, so you can guess who actually has more steps so far in 2014.
We didn't make it to hockey game last night but our team won!!!! Beat their big rivals.
Cookie
 
Good morning,

Yesterday DS and his fiancé talked us into going to the IKEA with them:D I bought the bedroom dresser/night stand for my guest bedroom a few month ago, Now they discontinue the Hemnes dressers, which I absolutely love:) I am been looking for a dresser for our sitting room in our bedroom for a very long time and couldn't find anything I really like. So yesterday I picked up another Hemnes dresser. I love the dresser they have yellow/white stripes on the inside. Really pretty! The night stands come with sliding drawers, such a neat idea.For the price you really can't beat IKEA!

Cookie - thank you! I really like JS's personality. And the best part, they all free on youtube. LOL, about the fitbit. Your husband sounds like mine..he is a very competitive person. You didn't registered your fitbit with fitbit.com?

Melissa - thank you! I agree with Cookie. I tell Aleisa the same, she had a very bad experience with her last BF. You have to let go of the past and move on.

Amelia - good job with your workout. You are doing fantastic!

Kirstin - sorry to hear you been sick all week long. Glad you starting to feel better. Hope you had fun night with your husband.

Hi to the rest of the gang!

Today I will do P90X3 yoga.

I will be back later this afternoon. Have a good day.
 
Good morning! I got my food shopping done before 11AM: SCORE lol! We start classes tomorrow; I'm not sure if I'm excited about that or not haha. Today I plan on doing PLB & abs. Then I want to get a head start on some of my homework for the week. The plan is to be better at time management this semester and write out everything I need to do on a weekly basis so I don't feel so crazy overwhelmed. We'll see how long this plan lasts ;)

Cookie, oh man I was on a Sun Chip kick this summer. Those things are dangerous. 'Entitled' is putting it tamely when it comes to my ex; his head was so far up his own butt it was disgusting! Live and learn though, right? That walking across the country feature with the FitBit is pretty cool! I didn't know they had that. You inspired me to put mine back on today. My friend has the Nike band (I forget exactly what it's called) but now I wish I had held out and gotten that because it tells you all your stats right there on the bracelet so you don't have to log in to the app.

Belinda, Ikea is dangerous! I love that store! I could literally spend all day in there. Have a great workout!

Waving hello to Kristin, Amelia, Deb, and Lori. Enjoy your Sunday!
 
Hi ladies,

P90X3 yoga X is done!

Melissa - it is:p Love IKEA! I have to get my food shopping today too. Have fun tomorrow.

See you all tomorrow. Have a wonderful day.
