Commit to get fit and lean for July!

'Evening!
Belinda, don't you feel so accomplished after doing AT? What plans do yu have for the fourth?
Lori, how are you doing? Did you go away this weekend?
Kristin, are you still on vacation? The weather her is great.
Deb, you have a lot of wild life going on! I think you would really like the BB workouts; I'm certainly feeling them! I'm going to that conference, but it is a little earlier this year the 10-18, so I can go home before the rt.
Did Crossfire yesterday - my, oh my! Glad it was done right away - think I would have dreaded it. Loved it and felt really accomplished. Today tok dogs on walk but noticed one was having blood in his urine. Took him to an emergency vet to find out is some type of stone. Have his x-ray to drop off to our regular vet who will do the surgery. Was a large emotional drain. Watching the Artist this evening, rented it three days ago! Did read The Chaperone, a novel about Louise Brooks' chaperone set at the same time, so it should be especially good.

Hi,

Just realized I didn't w/o today:eek: I thought about it but made my monthly sauce, foodshopping, went to my inlaws, watched 1/2 of War Horse & some computer work & totally forgot my w/o:eek: I'll make up for it this week only working 1 day this week (yeah!!).

Belinda - Great job with AT today:)

Cookie - Sorry about your dog I hope all goes well with the surgery. Let me know what you think about The Artist. It seems strange to watch a silent film, feel like I would have the urge to talk;)

Waves hi to Lori & Kristin

Goodnight:)
 
Good Morning:)

Kept busy all weekend....that's the way I need to operate so that I don't get lonely. My sil was at the park so we visited them both days but I came back around 8-8:30 both nights to get the kids straightened away.

Yesterday's workout was cycle max and the floor work of B&G. I'm not sure what I will do today. It's a beautiful day so I would like to run outside but don't know who would watch DS. And by the time DD wakes up it may be to warm outside:confused:.

Belinda** Ive only done that workout a couple of times. I always pull AB out.

Cookie** sounds like you have an expensive bill coming your way with your dog. Vet bills are so costly! I've heard of people having insurance on their pets though but I've never looked into it. I think I'm going to purchase the new workouts very shortly:D

Deb** forgetting to workout is not something I can do ;) but wish I could sometimes! Lol

DS starts soccer this week and it's mon-thurs. Throw his speech sessions in with that and it makes for a very busy week but like I said before I need to be busy. I'm also going to look at putting him into swimming lessons.

I will bbl to report my workout!

Lori:)
 
Morning girls,



My last week of Cathe's June rotation. Need to switch workouts(weight workouts) around so I get them all in before we leave this Wednesday.

Lori - good for you staying busy on the weekends, those are the worst. Have fun with your workout today.

Cookie - we will stay home on the fourth. How about you? We will leave for Florida on the July 5:eek: Hope the surgery goes well with your dog ((HUGS)) they like kids!

Debbie - LOL, forgetting to workout! hope you get your workout in today.


I will be back to report what I did? Not sure, yet?

Have a wonderful workout and stay cool in this heat;)
 
'Evening!
Belinda, were you affected by that storm? Are you driving the rv or flying to Florida? I always try to juggle things around to be sure to complete a rotation too.
Lori, glad you were busy this weekend. Does your first ds have your energy? He's going to be a very busy boy. I think swimming lessons are a great idea!
Kristin, how are you doing?
Deb, the Artist was good. Very different, but I'd recommend it. What's interesting is the use, or non use, of sound at different points in the movie.
Thanks for the wishes for my dog. He's actually one that one of my ds brought home but left when he moved out for college and now work. The good news is he's offer to pay part of the vet bills! Can't believe how much I love my dogs - they are a big part of our family.
Did a dance class with a friend tonight. I have two left feet but had a lot of fun. Feeling it already in my abs and thighs. Credit Cathe with me being willing to try other types of exercise. If only I were half-way decent at any of them.

Hi,

I took a pilates class at the gym today & did back in the last disc of M2. So it was really weird but my legs were shaking a lot during leg exercises in pilates it's rare that it happens during any leg work I do:confused:

I bought herbs to plant but when I came home the hawk was hanging out on my deck!! DH says it's because we don't have a dog anymore to chase them.

Belinda - Do you have any special plans when your in Florida?

Lori - If you forgot a workout I would really worry:eek: you would feel weird all day. Kudos on keeping busy. I heard it was Canada Day not sure what that really is?

Cookie - The dance class sounds like fun. I want to try Zumba again at the gym this summer. That's so nice of your DS to help out. Someday we will get a new dog, SIL has a new puppy can't wait to see it on the 4th.

Kristin - Wondering if your back yet?

Goodnight:)
 
Morning girls,

I ended up doing LIS Total Body UB split last night. I am trying to juggle the workouts around this week, this way I get them all in. Today I will do LIS LIC and maybe LIS Total Body Trisets LB. I still need to get S & G plus Hiit 30/30 in.

Cookie - the storm took our fence down, we need a new one! We are driving with our car to Florida. That's nice of your son to help with the vet bills. I agree, they like family. How is he doing?

Debbie - good job on the pilates class last night. We have no special plans in Florida. I just want to relax and do fun stuff, not sure what that is yet. Don't come home with a new dog on the 4th, lol!:p

Hi Lori and Kirstin!

Off to get more coffee. BBL!
 
Good Morning:)

DS has his first soccer game today so I need to get on the tm before we leave for that. It's not until 11 and it's only 8 now. But add in feeding 4 kids and getting ready plus getting my workout in....those 3 hours will fly.

Yesterday I did GS back,shoulders, and bics...and BM2 abs. Then last night I went for a 40 mins run with my friend. My parents were here part of the day and I got to have a little nap but I think it was to long cause I felt headachish after my nap. I haven't been going to bed early because I try to talk to DH every night....I don't even know how I can work around that.

Belinda** I'm guessing you are going on a holiday real soon? Lucky you!

Cookie** my friend always says that DS comes by his energy naturally because DH and I are both pretty non stop and so is DS. He never gets tired. But there is a point in the evening where I need to get him in the bed even though he doesn't appear to be tired. If I don't (which is hard to do this time of year) he can be up till 11 making numerous trips out of his room to tell me something. Dance class sounds like a lot of fun!

Deb** I'm guessing your legs were getting a good workout if they were shaking. I tried to do something yoga yesterday but 5 mins in I was bored! Lol you keep talking about all these animals....do you live in the forest?:p Canada day is Canada's birthday....kind of like July 4th for you guys. Everything is closed and we often celebrate with fireworks

I may bbl today. When the girls leave this afternoon I need to run to the grocery store and get some more Greek yogurt. I usually have a shake everyday and I'm all out of yogurt. Now I'm already trying to figure out what to have for lunch.

Lori:)
 
Hello everyone. Well, we are home. We said goodbye to our Florida resort yesterday and flew home. We were all so tired. My younger DS and I conked out on the plane and then again on the couch. Needless to say, I did not work out yesterday. I did do SJP today to give myself a nice kickstart. DH had to go back to work today, which I think is just stupid because he is off tomorrow, lol. Whatever, better him than me. I am so glad to have taken a vacation where I do not have to go right back to work.

Anyway, still have a lot of unpacking to do.

I will bbl or tomorrow morning to catch up on personals. Just wanted to wave hello.

Kristin
 
Hi,

I took a spin class & did M2 last disc for bi's. My abs are so sore from pilates.

Belinda - I finally used a gift card for a pedicure today & the girl was from Germany she was so sweet & told me her interesting story on how she ended up in US & I thought about you. That is a lot of w/o's to get in before FL:)

Lori - Wow, on getting 4 kids out & ready for the soccer game & fitting in a w/o! Soccer should burn some of DS's energy. I think you would like the 1st half of the yoga class I take it's fast-paced & cardio based the 2nd half she has us hold poses & stretching.

Kristin - Welcome home! It sounds like you & your family had a lot of fun:)

Cookie - Any plans for the 4th?

Goodnight:)
 
Good Morning:)

Yesterday wasn't that great of a day. It was one step forward, two steps back kind of day so when everyone was in bed I had myself a much needed drink! Lol

I did 3 miles on the tm and DWP before soccer and that was the only thing I did yesterday so I guess today will be chest and back and cardio. If the demands of the kids keep up and this heat...I figure I will weigh about 90 lbs by the time summer is over:confused:.

Kristin** happy to hear you had a good vaca. DH should have just took the rest of the week off:). Lucky you get to be off all summer though....but then again so am I :p...to some extent anyway. I still have to tend to kids all the time but I don't have to listen to my boss anymore. I needed a break from that place, everyone was getting on my last nerve.

Deb** I managed to get it done but I was still sweating when it was time to go to soccer and then the baby was ready for his nap so he cried the whole time I was getting ready :mad:. Today he doesn't have it until 5 so we won't be rushing anywhere this a.m.

I booked my plane ticket last night from aug 3rd to the 7th. I think the next few weeks will be easier knowing that Im soon going.

Bbl
Lori:)
 
Morning ladies,
 
I did LIS LIC last night. Today I will do LIS TBT and Hiit 30/30.
 
Tomorrow we are going to Florida. I will check in when I can. Not sure, about what workouts I will be doing?

Lori - how did your DS soccer game go? Hope he had fun. We are going on holiday on Thursday, looking forward too. Hope you have a better day today. Hate day's like that. Woohoo..on booking your plane ticket.
 
 
Kirstin - glad you had a blast in Florida. Traveling is stressful, rest up!
 
Debbie - glad you had fun getting a pedicure. I am trying to get all my workouts in before we leave tomorrow.

Cookie - have fun today.
 
 
Happy 4th July, everyone!
 
Happy 4th everyone. We are going to a LI Ducks baseball game tonight. They are having a fireworks celebration after the game, so it should be a lot of fun. I ended up doing KPC today. Love that workout, but I always lose steam at the end of the last combo. My jumpkicks get lower and lower, lol.

Belinda- Enjoy Florida. It was so much fun. Are you staying in the Orlando area?

Lori- mothers are never "off," right? I love the fact that my job allows me time off with my kids, and I love spending the time with them, but it is work. Now that they are a bit older and both out of the baby phase it has gotten a bit easier. I loved going on this vacation without having to pack bottles and diapers, and worry about messing about my younger DS's schedule. He was a scheduled napper and it would be smack in the middle of the day. If he didn't get his nap, it was like the exorcist, lol.

Debbie- What are you doing for today?

Cookie- I too have two left feet when it comes to dancing. It is funny, being Puerto Rican (well, half anyway), you would think I would be a natural, lol.

Okay, I am off to shower and get ready for the game. My eats were super clean yesterday and clean so far today, but stadium food. . . gotta have a hot dog on the 4th of July, lol. :)

Kristin
 
Hi,

Happy 4th of July!!

I took a yoga class & walked part of the way to my inlaws (they are about 2 miles from the gym) DH was supposed to pick me up but I thought I would try to walk but it was torture with the heat & humidity & when my SIL passed by I jumped in her car. We went to my inlaws today in the pool.

As I'm typing this DS's new "friend" just stopped by he won't say it's his gf because he say's he's too young to settle down:rolleyes: but there together a lot:confused:

Lori - How exciting that you booked your flight the time will fly by & it will give you time to catch up on your sleep;) I'm surprised they don't have a set time for soccer practice.

Belinda - Have fun in Florida!!!! Great job getting your w/o's in.

Kristin - I was wondering if you would be at the fireworks in NYC but going to the game sounds like a great way to spend the 4th & fireworks too!

Cookie - How did you spend the day?

Goodnight:)
 
'Morning!
Belinda, enjoy Florida. Did you manage to get all those workouts in before leaving. That wave of storms was incredible. Hard to believe so many are still without power - that's a really poor sign of our infrastructure.
Kristin, glad you're back and had a great time. Look at you on the go again, now to a ballgame. sounds like a nice way to spend the fourth.
Lori, how many children do you have during the day? Did you start a countdown calendar til you fly off? Will you be taking your kids with you?
Deb, I'm with your dh on thinking the wildlife is coming around more now that you don't have a dog. So, it is a good excuse to get one. Did you get tempted with your sil's? Can't imagine trying to walk during the day with this heat and humidity. My friend wanted me to go out yesterday around noon, and I said she must already have heat stroke. That must have been some pilates class.
Did MMA boxing on Tuesday and to the Max yesterday. Today was turbobarre lb. I can't imagine doing the June rotation with Crossfire and Max! Finally saw Bridemaids - love the Meghan character and last night saw Descendents. Talk about polar opposite movies.
Cookie
 
'Evening!
Nothing really different to report - didn't get in any extra workouts or anything. Did have extra work, tho. I got up early this morning to redo and add in some papers, which my dh said he would scan then email to me. I went to a meeting and kept getting emails asking where my docs were, and I would reply in the forwarded email. Turns out he never scanned the file, just resent a prior file he had scanned for me - something from three weeks ago! Honestly, it costs me hours to straighten out and I felt like a fool. Can't help wondering if he did it so I won't ask him for more assistance. Oh well. Dog's surgery was today and he's doing well. Thanks for well wishes. He's so groggy from the anesthesia. Glad that's over.
Thanks for letting me vent.
Cookie
 
Evening everyone. Today we slept in because we did not get home from the game and fireworks until after midnight. The game was sooooo long. It was the length of a double-header, I swear. The fireworks show was amazing though. Luckily, the parking lot attendants were really good about getting everyone out fast. We were on the highway within ten minutes. Needless to say, we were all exhausted. I made a late breakfast, straightened up the house and then my younger DS took a nap, so I did my workout, TBT UB. Afterwards, we lounged by the pool, had dinner on the patio and called it a night.

Cookie- how do you like the new workouts? I am hoping to hold off until Christmas and then ask for them as gifts, lol. Then again, by that time Cathe might announce a new series she is working on and I'll be stuck with having to choose, lol. I sometimes wonder if DH messes up on purpose when I ask for something too, lol. I'll never ask him to balance the checkbook or do the dishes (he leaves the sink drain filled, blech).

Deb- the heat and humidity seem to be much worse by you than us, I guess because we are on an island. It was weird to be in Florida and see how Georgia and Virginia had such higher temps than Florida. The weather is definitely wacky. Your story about your DS's new "friend" had me cracking up. How old is he again? Why are boys/men so afraid to commit? LOL.

Lori-I didn't see before that you booked your plane ticket. One month to go, woo hoo! This month will fly.

Belinda- how's Florida treating you?

Okay, I am off the bed!

Kristin
 
Hi,

Just stopping by to say hi, will be back tomorrow with personals. I needed to cover a Macy's in Staten Island NY today for someone who has been out sick for over a month. When I arrived home DH & I had to go to a last minute meeting so just getting in a little while ago . . . so off to bed for me:)

Goodnight:)
