Commit to get Fit and Lean for January 2014

Hey everyone. I just finished PRS #2. I was going to do a longer premix, mixing step 1 and 2, but I previewed it and then decided I would wait until I feel 100% better. I think I am at 90% right now, lol. It was a great workout.

Dinner last night was fantastic. We went to an upscale steakhouse and DEE Snyder from Twisted Sister was there. He was sitting right across from me the whole time. It was hard not to stare, lol. I had "I WANNA Rock" in my head the whole night, and "We're not gonna take it," haha. Anyway, the boys slept at my parents' house, but DH started feeling sick, so we just slept in with no romance, ha. We woke up this morning to a freezing house because we ran out of oil. Luckily, we found a company that delivers on Sundays. DH was mad at me. He kept telling me we need to get oil, and I kept putting it off. I hate wasting money on oil, lol, if it wasn't for the fact that I like heat and hot water. . . lol.

It snowed again last night, a few inches. They are saying we might get more snow midweek. God, I hope not! I want to go someplace tropical!

Melissa- I think it is very smart of you to remind yourself not to make the new guy "pay" for the ex's mistakes. It is good that you can analyze yourself that way. For years in my marriage I acted in ways that were so defensive because of my childhood, and it really prevented me from being emotionally intimate with DH. Sometimes now I will catch myself, but I correct it. Baggage comes in all forms, but we have the choice how long we carry it for ;) Good luck with your classes tomorrow. I personally cannot wait for summer, haha.

Cookie- I know I didn't have the flu, but it felt flu-like with the aches and chills. It was bad. I usually will workout through colds and things, not this time around though. I just couldn't do it. I thought about getting the national cert. Maybe next year or so after I get a break from this year. I am worried about my test scores this year. It is not going to be pretty. I am doing all I can and teaching common core lessons. Right now I am doing the stupid module and I hate it. The worst part is though, is that I don't see my students "getting it." I have a lot of low performing students and this is not working for them. Get me to June!

Belinda- I like IKEA. There is one here on LI. I just don't like the flow of the store. I feel like I am following the yellow brick road or something, haha.

Waving helo to Lori, Amelia and Deb!

Good morning,


Today is P90X3 UB and STS D16.

Kirstin - you are lucky your water pipes didn't freeze, that would cost you more money than getting oil;) My neighbor,…last year her water pipe froze and broke. She didn't noticed, we had to tell her. I saw it from my deck that water was running from the side of her house:rolleyes:. she only ran a small electric heater in her bedroom. She had to replace her carpet in the basement too. I think this year she learned her lesson, to keep her heat on. As long as, it's that cold I ran heat in the house. Not very high, but enough that my pipes freeze;) Sorry, about your husband. Hope he feels better soon. LOL, about the yellow brick road.

I will be back later. Have a great Monday.
 
Morning

I've had a slight cough that started yesterday, my sinus's are draining too so I hope im not getting sick. My chest hurts when I cough and my ears ache a little too :eek: I may go ahead and see a doctor before it gets bad...

My hubby is at work and my kids are at school so its very quiet here today. I rented a chick flick to watch after my workout this morning. It's called "Blue Jasmine" about a women who's marriage crumbles and she moves in with her sister and tries to start her life over again. I will let you guys know how it is..

ok, not sure what workout im doing. May do a P90X workout...bbl with personals

Hey girls, well crap - now my throat is kinda sore :confused:

I finished 35 mins of Leslie Sansone's dvd 4 fast miles. It was a good easy sweat. My head started hurting so i quit after 35 minutes.

Kristin-so cool that you saw Dee Snyder! Glad you were able to get your heat back on again. Great job on your workout!!

Melissa-How was your first day back at school? Good job on your workout!

Belinda-You still enjoying P90X3? Hope your meds help you feel better.

Cookie- I never tasted Sun Chips, good for you for giving them up. I finally saw some movement in the scale this morning, not much - a pound I think. How was push/pull yesterday? I forget that I have that one, mmm maybe tomorrow.
 
Good evening,

I did STS D16 this afternoon, just finished P90X3 Eccentric Upper!

Amelia - hope you feeling better soon. Good job on your walk today.

Good night, ladies!
 
Hey everyone. Tonight's workout was X10, 42 minute premix, which is hi-low and fat burning circuit. Nothing much else new. Just trying to get my eating under control. Whenever I am sick I crave sweets. I had a lot of cookies and candy. I was doing so well, too. Anyway, today I really tried to cut back and eat better. This crazy weather is so depressing. I cannot wait for spring. DH had his first baseball meeting and registration for little league is coming up. That's a good sign :)

Belinda- my dad yelled at me about my pipes. DH called him to ask him about measuring the oil. Our tank is in the ground and in our old house it was in the basement with a meter. Anyway, DH told my dad that it was my fault because I always refuse to get oil and my dad wen ton and on about my pipes. I realize we were lucky with that especially with the frigid temps.

Amelia- take it easy. Sore throat for me is always the "sign". Lots of fluids! I finally am starting to feel almost 100%. Still have a runny nose after working out though.

Waving hello to Lori, Deb, Melissa, and Cookie!

Kristin
 
Good morning,

Plan for today is: P90X3 Yoga and STS D17 legs>

Kirstin - our tank is under the ground in the yard, there is a meter on there too. You have to ask your gas company. DH always makes sure, we have oil. Glad your pipe didn't freeze;) You still log your food into MFP? Helps me with my cavings, I log everything before I put it in my mouth:p

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

Its official, the state of Georgia has shut down due to an approaching snow storm. We're suppose to get between 1-6 inches :eek: The schools are closed down and everybody is running wild in the grocery store! It's madness!!

CAM00799.jpg

I'm not working today, thank goodness :)


Anyways. Today will be an hour long workout since I ate some pizza for supper yesterday...:D...it was my indulgence meal and boy was it good. I will check back later to report whatever I do.

Still not feeling great but I've got to keep working out if I want to keep losing weight. Seeing that small loss yesterday gave me some hope.
 
30 min chest, bicep and core work done today. I did 3 exercises of each body part. 3 sets of 8-16 reps each (until failure). It was nice. I got this off of body building.com. Lots of interesting info on there..

Its still snowing here. We have close to 2 inches, not sure how im going to get to work tomorrow ? :confused: DH is going to try and take me but if we can't get the car out of the driveway then it looks like I will have a snow day from work.:D
 
Good evening.

I finished P90X3 Triometrics awhile ago, I also did STS D17 legs. That wasn't a good idea:D Both workouts target the LB!

Amelia - thanks Amelia! I hope the meds will clear my sinus too.I love that site, lot's of great info! Arr…that's a lot of snow for Georgia:eek: Stay warm!

I will be back in the morning. Good night, everyone!
 
Hi all. Just finished my workout. It was RK plus stability ball abs from B & G. I love doing the kickboxing workouts with the gloves DH got me for Christmas. I also walked Baxter for 25 minutes today, despite the freezing cold, just to get him some exercise and air. We are supposed to get MORE snow :confused:. Wish I was in the tropics, lol. Now my other DS is sick. We took him to the doctor today and he has Strep throat. Hopefully this is the end of it and we all stay healthy.

Belinda- I hope you can walk tomorrow after those workouts today. ;) I haven't been on MFP to log in food. I just haven't had time. I know I should start logging it in or even just writing it down in a notebook again. Maybe I'll start a food and workout journal for February. That might help.

Amelia- Be careful with driving in the snow. I can't imagine getting snow in the South like this. What a crazy winter! I cannot wait for summer. I plan on soaking in the sun all summer long.

Waving hello to everyone!

I have my teacher class tomorrow night, so I do not plan on working out and I probably won't be working out either.

Kristin
 
'Evening!
Belinda, I know that dresser! I've seen in at a colleague's house. Very nice. How are your sinuses?
Amelia, I thought of you on the ride home tonight; the news was about Georgia shutting down! Incredible. I ended up doing pub on Sunday instead of push/pull. Still want to do push/pull soon. What did you think of Blue Jasmine? I've heard very positive and blah reviews.
Kristen, glad you're feeling better. Hope you're taking it easy tho. How did things go with Baxter's eval last week? I had a pd for untenured teachers after school. A few experienced teachers stopped by after to see if they could join in future sessions. Guess they are feeling like new teachers.
Melissa, how's school going? Kristin and Belinda had good advice on starting off w/a clean slate, so I'll just second/third theirs. I like keeping track of my steps w/the fitbit. I clip it on my bra, but sometimes around the house I don't wear one and just use the waistband of yoga/sweats. it seems more secure on the bra. Some folks I work with are very competitive with them, so I haven't ever mentioned I have one. Actually, think I had it before they did.
Deb, hope you're warm.
Got up at 3 and didn't get home til 8:20, so now I'm beat. Did a meta workout this morning, but now I can't even remember which one!
Cookie
 
Morning ladies,

Not sure what I will do today? I will go to DC shortly:D I will bring my workout cloth, no excuse not to work out, right?;) Before I leave I will do P90X3 yoga.

Cookie - my sinus are not doing so great in this weather. How are yours doing? I love, love, love that dresser. Is that a Tracey Anderson workout?

Kirstin - I log my food in MFP and I write all my workout into the WM and I also right all my workouts into Vera Bradley Agenda book. I used to buy Cathe's Calendar, I like a Agenda much better. I can't believe you walked your dog:eek:

Amelia - how are the roads in Georgia?

I will be back later today. Happy Hump Day, everyone.
 
Morning

Im not feeling good at all this morning. My ears, throat and head are aching :( I just called in to work, I can't go anywhere with the roads like they are. I need to get my but to a doctor :confused:

Not sure about working out today, unless I start to feel better.

Belinda-Have fun in DC. Doesn't your DD live there? The main roads are ok but the back roads are shut down...I live on a back, back road :eek:

Kristin-Oh no on the strep throat, hope he feels better soon. Great job with your workout. I too can't wait for warmer temps

Cookie-Blue Jasmine was a 5 out of 10 for me. It kept me interested but it was kinda blah...I didn't like the ending either. Long day for you yesterday, good job getting in a workout.

waving hello to Melissa and Lori
 
Hi girls,
We made it to Florida DH & DS had the stomach flu the day before we left. Both have recovered. The weather has been Spring like here so we are able to walk & eat outside. Today & tomorrow is cold and rainy but when we called home DS said not as cold as NJ. I will wear gloves and winter jacket for walk today. I brought my workouts but haven't had the chance to do. Today we are waiting for the cableman & taking care of some problems in the condo. Yesterday we picked up DH's godchild to bring to Bush Gardens it was so much fun. He is such a good baby so easy going too! I couldn't believe how expensive the parks are now, it's just unreasonable. The baby's Mom had strep throat we only spent alittle bit of time with her so hopefully we won't get the germs.

We come back on Friday need to get food in for the Superbowl. It's crazy that it is NJ and the weather is so cold this year.

Great job with your workouts!

Belinda - I still haven't tried P90x3 only one DVD player here on the only TV that is working. I haven't been to IKEA in a long time, they used to send me a really big catalog.

Kristin - It's funny we passed a Little League field and they were playing last night, we wondered if they play all year long here. Too many germs going around this year:(, glad your feeling better.

Amelia - Georgia weather is all over the news, wondering if you we're affected. Your kids must love it:). How do you like P90x?

Melissa - Good luck with the start of school! My Dad lives near West Palm Beach it is hotter there because it is inland and further south from where I am.

Cookie - Your up so early not sure how you do it. Are you still fitting UY in? DH really wants to move to FL someday especially after this crazy winter.

Lori - So many Canadians are in FL escaping the negative degree temps.

Stay warm!

Debbie
 
Hey girls,

KPC warm up + all combo's & stretch done today. I started to feel better

Debbie-Im jealous of your spring weather in FL :p Sounds like your having a nice time. Hopefully it won't be too cold there.

Hello to everybody. Have a nice night...
 
'Evening!
Belinda, my sinuses are also stuffed up. I try to use steam in the morning to help break things up a bit, and that seems to help. The best thing for mine was to give up dairy. You are so good with getting your workouts in and logging food and exercise. I used to do a calendar but this year am just inputting the info into an Excel file. I was being lazy it was a metabolic workout, not a meta one from Tracey Anderson. I've never tried one of hers. Have you?
Kristin, hope you don't get strep. Don't you hate it when the germs go round and round. hope your little guys are both well soon. Honestly, you amaze me with walking the dog. I don't even like to open the door to let mine in and out! The puppy, well she's almost two now but acts likes she's sixth months, loves the cold. Must be the Nova Scotia in her b/c she's happy as can be in this weather. She hates the heat tho.
Melissa, how are classes so far?
Lori, please take your artic weather back. I concede that you are much tougher than me.
Deb, sounds like you are getting a lot of walking in. How old is the godchild? Strange all the strep. Which team are your rooting for in the Super Bowl?
Did dwp hiit, modified, this morning. Got in over 15,000 steps today!
Cookie
Amelia, Georgia is all over the news, and I keep thinking of you everytime I hear something. Glad you're doing better but take it easy. it is such a germy year.
 
'Morning!
Belinda, just wondering if your feet bother you more if you're barefoot? I'm noticing one of mine is tingly if I'm walking around a lot w/o sneakers. I usually wear slippers inside and guess I need more support. Really more cushioning for my toes. Vera Bradley is very popular! Do you have a lot of other things by them? I have a tote but it is completely black, not one of the prints. Guess I'm just boring.
Melissa, any upcoming date plans?
Amelia, how is your dd's heart project coming along?
Kristen, I have a all-day mtg at SED. Jealous? I'm sure not.
Lori, hope all is well.
Deb, I wonder if companies still send out big catalogues or if they are online. What do you make to eat while watching the Super Bowl?
Did turbo barre this morning. I love that wo! Have no idea why, must be nostalgia, but I've been thinking of getting the old Firm videos on dvd. I truly do not need more workouts, I need more time to do them, but yep, I keep checking them out. The first four were so good, I couldn't bear to part w/the vhs til last year, even tho we didn't have a vhs player for a few years.
Cookie
 
Good morning,

P90X3 Essentric Lower and abs.

Cookie - oh, not sure why I thought you did one of TA workouts? I can't stand her personality and workouts. I don't have problems with dairy, mine has to do with the surgery I had in 2009. They didn't do a good job:mad: So what do you eat instead of dairy? Congrats on your steps!

Kirstin - I hope you don't get strep throat. Have you seen a doctor yet? Take it easy, ok!

Debbie - glad your DH/DS is feeling better. I wouldn't mind walking on the beach now, enjoy your stay in FL! How long are you staying?

Amelia - glad you feeling better and got your workout in.


I will be back after my workout. Have a great day, everyone.
