Commit to get fit and lean for July 5, 2011

Good morning girls! How was everyone's holiday weekend?

Quick check in before I leave for class. Just got done with the original Imax and will do abs when I get home. This weekend I probably ate enough for 4 people :eek: I desperately need to get back on track!

Iris, hows the business coming along? I wouldn't even know how to start writing a business plan! :eek: Are you still gonna do the school thing?

Amelia, I totally hear where you're coming from: I'm sick of counting calories! Let me know how it goes, maybe I will give it a break too. I dunno!

Kristin, oooh I love MMA Fusion! I need to work that one in sometime.

Deb, we never wound up on the boat because of the rain :( We went to a bbq at a friend of a friend's house which was still fun but I missed the yearly boat party. Oh well!

A big hello to Belinda, Cookie, Trish, and Lori!

Have a great day girls!
 
Morning

For the past week I have been waking up with a headache and been fighting fatigue. I guess its my TOM that has me so tired? I keep sneezing too, I hope I'm not coming down with something:(

So my bootie and legs were sore all day yesterday and I had to work so I took a rest day. Today Is S90 Chest & back and if I feel up to it..i will get on the treadmill and get in a run interval or power walk. Maybe once I get the blood flowing I will feel better:confused:

I need to work on my eats, gonna really try and clean it up today. No sneaking bites at work. (sometimes I will eat a mini cookie or take a bite of something im making:p)

Belinda-Have a great workout today!

Melissa- I hear ya on the eating, lets get back on track today! Have a great day

Debbie-How awful about your MIL falling down the stairs. She must have been so scared:( Glad to hear she didn't break anything...that IS a miracle! and LOL at our MIL's being in competition. :p

Helene- CLX BC2 Twice? My gosh your MAD:eek::eek::eek: Definitely an OUCHIE. How are you doing this morning? Are you able to walk;):p

Trish-What is MFH? I seen you and Helene talk about it and always tried to figure it out:confused::eek: Maybe i should still check in on mfp with you guys, it is fun and i miss that support. I miss Sean too, maybe I will do one of his workouts today?

Iris-So how did the party go? Any news on DI?;) yes..im being nosy:eek: :p

Cookie-How did your fourth go?

Lori-Hows the pregnancy going? Haven't seen you check in for a while...everything alright or did I miss your post?

Kristin-When does your DH return? Its got to be hard being a single parent for a week (((hugs))) I can't imagine.

Did I miss anyone? :confused:

bbl to hopefully report a dbl workout:)
 
Afternoon ladies,

We had a quiet 4th of July at our house. Just the family and a little barbecue and then fireworks with friends. Nice and simple. Today's wo was legs (3x20 squat diggs, 3x20 leg press, 3x25 leg extensions, 3x25 leg curls, 3x20 romaine deadlift, 3x10 standing calf work + 3x25 seated calf work). I have chest DOMs from yesterday's wo, but nothing in the triceps:confused: My hamstrings were pretty sore from today's wo, so hopefully there will be some duck-walking tomorrow:cool:.

Belinda - Which TB did you decide on? I've been missing HR, but then again, I listened to it on the way in this morning:)

Melissa - Uuugghh, my eating was in the toilet, too. Downed a whole box of nilla wafers:rolleyes: plus a couple donuts and other junk. Sigh!

Amelia - Waking up to a headache?? Geez, that has to bite! I hope it passes soon. MFH is Muscle & Fitness Hers magazine. This is the second time I am doing one of their rotations - had great results from the first one. This one is called 'lift to burn' and combines heavy weight work high rep/light weight work. So glad you are still coming by on mfp:) Enjoy your wo today...sounds awesome;)

Deb - Sorry to hear about your MIL. I'm glad nothing was broken, but I imagine all the bruises must still really suck:confused: Just looked at the disney pics. Looks like so much fun...until the tryouts! Gulp! I was hoping for a dark studio filled with lots of people. Not!

Hellos to Kristin, Lori & Helene. Have a great day ladies!
 
Oh, almost forgot, I did STS TB abs this morning and signed up for a spin class for Thursday morning at a spin studio in the city. Looks like a swanky place...they even make you wear spin shoes which they didn't at my gym. Hope I can keep up!
 
Hi all! Hope everyone had a great 4th. I took my boys to my parents' house and we had a family bbq. It was nice, but I was a little melancholy with DH not being there. He comes home on Thursday, just in time for our first little league summer game, lol.

I did IMAX 3 step combos only premix and M2 D16 today. Needed to do some damage control, :p.

Melissa- I definitely overate this weekend too, plus I am craving bad foods. . . Pizza and garlic knots are calling me, lol. Trying to be good though, took out chicken breasts to grill. . . :eek: Too bad about not celebrating on the boat. I love boating.

Amelia- DH comes home on Thursday. . . Did you do the treadmill today?

Trish- that is some leg workout!!!! No, family is not coming along for the RT. I need some ME time, lol.

Iris- did DI's sister have anything to say? I love MMA Fusion. I don't know why I don't do it more often.

Belinda- how was the 4th in DC?

Deb- that is horrible about your MIL, but at least she didn't break anything. Geez. . . that is a lucky fall!

Helene- hope you had a good 4th too!

Lori- Hope you are feeling well and taking it easy!

Cookie- how was your 4th?

BBL!

Hey there!
I'm doing a quick check in towards the end of work, since my satellite hasn't been working at home. I just don't understand it - yesterday was a beautiful day and it still didn't connect! The joys of country life, I guess.
Belinda, thanks for letting us know about Lori. Guess you must have a king-size bed, or should we say, dog-sized bed.
Lori, hope you're feeling better soon. How are you managing ds when you're sick?
Iris, did you hear from DI or his sister yesterday? Doing up a business plan sounds like such a sound idea. Glad you know how to do it.
Helene, did you do that wo twice?!!! Crazy lady!
Amelia, counting is not good for me either. I can obsess and then get so aggravated that I overeat. Got to do what's best for you.
Melissa, did you get any hours yet with the hospital?
Trish, that must be a fancy place. Did you buy spin shoes?
Deb, glad your mil doesn't have more injuries. She, and you, are extremely fortunate.
Kristin, your question from last week was a topic of discussion yesterday, and I truly hope you don't mind. I mentioned it to a group of my friends and every one of them said they wouldn't enlarge or move but save it for college and/or travel. It was amazing that not one out of 12 had a different opinion. Pretty much, they felt that the kids are home for only a small portion of out lifespan, and they are soooo expensive when they are older. My husband constantly complains that we have a big house and land and yet we only seem to use a couple of rooms, and the kids just go outside to get in a car! My sympathies are with you with being a single mom this week - that sucks. I'm leaving tomorrow morning for three days, so my dh will get take-out, which just gets me since he never wants that if I'm home. Of course, next week he's away all week so then I'll be complaining.

Hi,

I took a spin class this morning & did S90 total body. It's funny I looked around our spin class today and realized there are so many different ages & sizes that spin. There is one older gentlemen (mid 70's) who spins a couple of times a week:)

Belinda - MIA an oldie but a goodie!

Melissa - Sorry your boat trip was rained out . . . I kept on waiting for the sun to come out.

Amelia - Not bad at all with all those temptations around you.

Iris - Just realized you didn't start us off:)

Trish - I thought it would be a studio setting too, will have to figure a way to calm my nerves:confused: Let us know how you like the spin class & studio, I think spinning in NYC would be great.

Kristin - My DH is extremely regimented so when he is not home I end up making dinner late & going to bed late:) It must be hard with the 2 little ones.

Cookie - You must be a good cook if DH doesn't want take-out, if DH doesn't like what I'm cooking he'll be like, your sure you don't want to go out:)

Helene - I hope you had fun on the 4th!

Lori - Feel better.

Goodnight:)
