Commit to get fit and lean for July!

Morning,

LIS Total body trisets: back, biceps and core done this morning. I might get in a bonus cardio after work...

Belinda-Beautiful resort. Sorry to hear about your experience at your hotel, sounds awful:(

Hello to everybody...

Were doing good guys, the kids are shooting up like weeds! Elizabeth is 10 now and Dalton is 7, and the dogs are as spoiled as the kids:confused: We have four total...what in the hell was I thinking?

bbl
 
'Morning!
Belinda, that's disgusting about the hotel! Glad your dh and you spoke up. Is your ds moving in with you?
Lori, the poor little one with a black eye! When one of my younger brothers got one as a baby, another one took photos, and we laughed over it for years. Sorry for your ds though. Can you go visit your mother's again soon so you have another break?
Kristin, do you go back and reread your success story for motivation? I'm so frustrating with working out and logging my food and things not budging at all. It makes me want to cry sometimes. Here at this conference there is a lot of food, and I'm being really good. Only had one (1!) bite of chocolate cake, and have eaten so much salad all the rabbits in the tristate area are envious.
Deb, glad you liked the ballet body workout. Did you get any of her other ones? It seems like my body craves doing them - I know that sounds crazy, but it is true. One of my colleagues is here with me and she loves to gamble. I'm trying to pick up some ideas from her, but my problem is remembering them.
Amelia!!! I've thought of you so many times, and am so happy you're back. I don't have time to do all those other sites and check ins. Not that I wouldn't like to. We're in this weight issue together. To tell the truth, I really don't want to go to the rt, 'cause I feel ridiculous going when nothing is working for me. It must be so hard for your whole family coping with the loss of your mil. Glad to hear you're enjoying being the assistant manager. How are the little ones?
I am so ready to go home. This has been eight days of classes 8-5 with homework. In the evening folks want to chat and have a drink to relax, before doing homework. But that means I'm not decompressing until after 10:30, and you all know at home my couch would have been calling me by 9 at the latest. Oh well, it is over tomorrow.

Hi everyone. Yesterday was my rest day. I went to the movies with my friend and we saw Magic Mike. . . OMG. . . that is all I have to say, lol :eek::cool: We had a great time. Today I did LICH, premix 4 (warm up with bonus) and HR. We are having an early dinner and then off to DS baseball game. He is insisting on wearing his pants, even though he can wear his shorts, because he cannot slide in shorts. It is 96 degrees out. I guess I will have to make sure he drinks plenty of water. He is going to sweat!

Belinda- that sounds like a hotel room from hell. I am glad you got the money back. That is sooooo gross and disgusting. :confused: I don't blame you for never wanting to go to a Hyatt again. The other resort looks gorgeous! At least you had a good time there.

Deb- I feel the same way about men in any fitness class to be honest. . . If I take a class, I want it to be all women. I even get a little weirded out on the RT's when there are one or two guys. LOL.

Lori- your poor little guy. My second son is always getting hurt. He's got scrapes and bruises everywhere. Girls are so different from boys too. My friend watches two girls for her neighbor. We were over her house and my sons and her son were running around playing Power Rangers and the two girls were coloring, almost oblivious to the chaos the boys were creating. It hit me then how different having boys is to having girls, lol. Up until then I thought having kids means having kids, boys/girls it is all the same. I realize now there is a huge difference.

Cookie- I haven't looked at my story in so long. I'll have to skim through it again when I have a minute. Keep at it. If you are eating right and working out, eventually those stubborn pounds won't stand a chance. Howm much cardio do you do as opposed to weight work? When I upped my cardio and started doing more circuit type workouts instead of full-body weight workouts, I saw a difference. Sometimes changing it up that way helps.

Amelia- love TBT. . . have you ever done the full body premix? I want to do that one one day, lol.

Okay, game is starting in less than an hour. I will bb.

Kristin
 
45 min Nintendo Wii shadow boxing workout done. It was the first time doing this workout and I really like it...I got caught up in the challenge of it and forgot the time. :)

Hey Cookie-I wouldn't pass up the chance to go on the RT...forgot about the weight and have a good time! What kind of classes are you going to? Or are you teaching them?

Kristine-I saw Magic Mike last week and OMG is right:eek: Great movie and I can't wait until it comes out on dvd;) Nice job on your workout.

Hello to everyone that follows.

What do you guys think of the new workouts, To the max and crossfire? Worth buying? Crossfire seems fun...
 
Hi,

I went to the gym this morning but didn't get a spin bike. I did Cycle Max before dinner because I was distracted by so many things at home but it ended up giving me energy so I should have done it in the AM. I always forget how much I like that DVD so I shouldn't get bummed when I don't get a bike.

Lori - What is tabata spin? Your DS is having a tough week. DH broke a blood vessel in his eye & I can't look at him:eek: Please send some rain our way my grass is brown.

Amelia - Well 4 dogs is easier then 4 kids:) Wow I remember when your kids were starting school. Sounds like a fun workout.

Kristin - It's so hard to get the dirt out when they slide too but they sure do love it. I keep hearing how good that movie is now I want to see it to.

Cookie - I didn't buy the other ones but maybe I will. That is a really long conference you will be away from home for a long time.

Belinda - You must have a lot of laudrymax to do.

Goodnight:)
 
Good morning,

I will do cardio today? Not sure what yet?

Lori - sorry your son having a tough time this week. The sheet were clean in the hotel, the bathroom on the other hand wasn't:( That's why we own an RV, at least it's clean:D I wasn't to impressed with that hotel, not to mention the price:rolleyes: I almost passed out, once I found out the price too:eek: The hotel in Florida was kinda pricey too, but amazing:eek: right on the beach too. DH and I haven't had a vacation in almost 3 years, he wanted me to have a great time. Which I did! Except in the Hyatt hotel:(

Debbie - sorry about the spin bike! At least you got a good workout in with Cathe.

Off to take the dogs for a walk after my coffee. BBL!
 
'Morning!
Belinda, how are your dogs handling the heat?
Lori, my boys always were getting getting scrapes and bruises. Broken bones, too.
Kristin, I've heard lots of talk about the movie this week! Hope your little one drank lots of water last night.
Deb, her ub one is also really good. Looking forward to doing one of them tomorrow. Just curious, do you prefer riding your bike at home or the group experience/challenge of a class?
Amelia, wow, 10 and 7? Hardly seems possible. I've been thinking of getting a wii so I can get Zumba. Do you have that? The shadow boxing sounds like fun.
Okay, last day of conference, checking out, then traveling home! Of course, then I'll probably wonder why I missed it with laundry, cleaning and cooking. Heard they closed the floor my office is in 'cause it is too hot. Unfortunatelu, they found me another spot to relocate.
Keep cool,
Cookie
 
It is looking like a big thunderstorm is about to hit my area. I just finished my workout, so if the power goes out at least I won't have to worry about that, lol. I did Intensity, double hiit plus bootcamp premix. Question for all of you. I still do not have Hiit dvd from Shock Cardio. . . are those workouts like the Hiit on Intensity or harder?

Anyway, DS's game was fun yesterday. he got three doubles and one single, plus he made a good play at first. He was happy. Not much else going on. . . just waiting for this storm to hit.

Cookie- funny you mention the water. .. I was like a crazy helicopter mom yesterday. Between each inning I made him take a swig, even if he said he wasn't thirsty, lol. He is starting to say, "Oh Moooommmmmmm," lol. That was a long conference. I hope you get to relax a day or two before heading back to the office.

Belinda- what workout did you do today? Have you preordered yet? I am hoping to preorder with my first paycheck in September. If the deal ends before then, then I will suck it up and pay for it with some of the money in the savings account, but I hate doing that, lol.

Deb- I've given up on getting the dirt out, lol. Yes, they sure do love to slide. Boys will be boys, lol.

Lori- What workout did you do yesterday?

Amelia- I never thought about the fact that it will out on dvd one day, lol. Insert big chesire cat smile, lol. :D

Okay, I will bbl.

Kristin
 
Hi,

I did Trisets Upper body today. I met a friend from work & she told me she moved in with her bf but he needed to sign a contract 1st plus he's already sleeping on the couch, she is one tough cookie:eek:

Belinda - After the big thunderstorm the heat finally let up, hopefully your dog walks will be cooler. Do you still walk your dogs everyday?

Cookie - I hope you get some downtime before you go back to work. Hopefully your new office will be cooler. I should probably get the Upper body DVD too. The real reason I prefer to do cardio at the gym is because I have a dread factor doing cardio & going to the gym forces me to get to work or run errands at an earlier hour.

Kristin - The storm hit here too, made it home in time before it hit but DH & I needed to go out when the storm was hitting hardest but at least we were in the car. I don't really reach for the Hiit DVD but not because I don't like it just prefer to do weights more often at home.

Lori & Amelia - What are you up to?

Goodnight:)
 
Hi girls,


Sorry for not checking back in again yesterday:( I was on the phone, FB most off the day:eek::(:confused: didn't get much done at all. Chatted with an old school friend on FB, she lives in Ga for the last 25 years. Lot's to catch up on:eek: Late afternoon the storm rolled around, my dog was so scared..he was clued to my leg:eek::confused: no kidding!! So I called it a day at this point:D

So this morning my elliptical arrived, it took those guys 3 1/2 hours to put it together. Parts were missing/broken. The iFit didn't came with an access code. Those guys were amazing, they didn't wanted to leave without me having using the elliptical. They drove to Home Depot and bought screws which were missing (they are the wrong onces, but it's working):D I mean, I can use the elliptical, but we have to have a tech come out and fix the rest.

Cookie - my dogs hate the heat:rolleyes: they do like to lay on the deck:rolleyes:

Debbie - good job last night. I try to walk my dogs every day:D they love it! ROFLMAO, at your friend! That is funny!

Kirstin - I think HiiT is similar to Intensity. They all have the same moves, IMO!

Amelia - I saw MM when it released. My DD dragged me to the movies. OMG:eek:

Lori - must be busy packing for her trip already:p did you buy any lulu lately?


In awhile I will do the elliptical and check it out:eek:


I will be back later to report my workout. I need to get off the computer or I have the same problem I had yesterday:p
 
Hey girls, OMG its so quiet in my house:eek: I'm off work today, my kids went swimming at their mawmaws and my DH is asleep. Its so nice;)

I took a rest day yesterday and today I did total body trisets chest, shoulders and triceps. Then I hopped on the wii and did some shadow boxing for 30mins. I was pouring sweat, still am:)

Deb-Your friend does sound like a tough cookie. Why is the BF on the couch? Great job on your workout!

Belinda-Yay on your elliptical...if I remember correctly you have quite an assortment of gym equipment now! Im coming to your house;)

Kristin-lol at you being a crazy helicopter mom, ive never heard that phrase before...i will have to use it. I hope your power didn't go out...

Hello to Cookie and Lori...anyone who follows.

ok, off to enjoy the rest of my quiet day.
 
Hey everyone. Just finished LIC (original). Took my two boys to the library to get some new books and dvds being as though it is going to rain tomorrow. I am so excited because DS chose the Muppet Show season 1. I used to love that show as a kid, lol. I am trying very hard to keep my eating clean, clean, clean. . . it is so hard to do in the summertime :mad:.

Amelia- I use that expression a lot, lol. I am never overprotective. I do not put neosporin on every scrape and have bandaids in every pocketbook. Some moms at the park are sooo over the top and always hovering. .. helicopter moms, lol.

Belinda- congrats on the new elliptical. That is my favorite piece of cardio equipment. It is great. . . no impact and resistance cardio. . . good luck with it. I guess I will hold off on getting Hiit for now. What about Cardio Blast?

Deb- your work friend sounds like one smart cookie ;). Same question to you. . . what about Cardio blast? You know, I don't even think I am buying anything anytime soon, lol.

Waving hello to Cookie and Lori!

Kristin
 
Hi Girls

Sorry I've been a slacker;). I was up super early yesterday morning but I'm not sure why I didn't check in. I think I started my workout before the girls arrived....and I guess I just got lost In the day, easily done around here.

I never thought I was going to enjoy weekends with DH away but now that I have a house full of kids all week, I am learning to like them. I'm not sure what we will do this weekend, if anything. My mom wants me to go home but I probably won't bother.

Yesterdays workout was 30 mins on the tm, 6 seg of imax3 and abs from bm2. Today I ran outside for 45 mins. Ive been trying to figure out how to burn the downloads I purchased unto a disc and it's not working. I don't know what I am doing wrong.

Belinda** :eek: that's all I have to say about my lulu purchases. Have you bought any yet? If you have then you know what I am talking about...it's just so nice. I have 2 tanks and a bra on the way and a friend of mine text me while she was at the store and she picked up something for me that I couldn't get online. They made fun of me on the other check in b/c I said I was going to have to start being careful with my money b/c DH doesnt get paid a whole lot. So they started commenting on my lulu....nerds. Were you rotted with the eliptical issues? I know I would have been.

Kristin** oh boys and girls are so different and I know first hand. The only thing I am looking forward to is seeing if they are more laid back when they get older b/c apparently boys are suppose to be less work. We shall see. I love the HIIT DVD and reach for it often. It's a nice add on. I don't think you would be disappointed.

Deb** I hear ya on working out to blow off steam. It seems to be my favorite thing to do these days. DS was soooooo bad today, he was restless. My parents came for a visit and my mom told me to have a nap....but I went for a run instead...in the rain...by myself. I didn't want music either. Sometimes I need that silence.

Cookie** I'm guessing you are happy to be home and in your own bed? DS's eye is better now. Now that the swelling is gone , I can really see the spot where he was stung.

Ameila** sounds like you are getting back into the workout routine. Are you following and diet plans? I bought both new DVDs and enjoyed then both. I didn't think either one was extremely difficult but def a good sweatfest and I will be reaching for it often.

Alright I think I got everyone. I will bb in the am.

Lori:)
 
Hi,

I took a spin class today & did cleanmax it seems likes it's never ending!

Belinda - I love working on the ellipitical at the gym, don't have one at home can't imagine how hard it must be to put together.

Amelia - My friend & her bf are around 6ft tall, she has a queen size bed but she says it not bigger enough:confused: Would never understand that problem:eek: The Wii workouts sound like fun.

Kristin - I think you mean Circuit Blast (?) if so it's like Bootcamp but it has a lot plyo & jumps in it, it is a tough w/o. I think Cathe will have the presale until right before she ships so Sept. should work.

Lori - I enjoy silence too just not on the TM. I'm sure the kids bedtime is getting to be a favorite time of day for you too:)

Hi Cookie

Goodnight:)
 
Good Morning:)

Enjoying my coffee with just the baby awake. I cherish this time of day when it's just the two of us...I need that bit of time.

I'm not sure what today's workout will be yet. I am leaning towards legs or should,bics and tris again. I really want to do ctx UB but I stil, can't figure out how to burn the download.....well, I kind of gave up.

Deb** I so love bed time! Lol and I am starting to enjoy the weekends too. At first I hated them b/c it was when DH and I did things together. But after having a house full of kids all week, I like this down time. No matter how good the girls are, I am still having to feed them and sort out the quarrels with DS.

I have no real plans for the day. I need to workout, go to the bank and swing by a friends house to pick something up.

Bbl
Lori:)
 
Good morning,

We had a bad strom again last night, getting more today. My dogs gonna be happy:confused:

Had a great workout on the elliptical yesterday. I think, when the tech comes he needs to adjust the resitance on the elliptical. I was sweating buckets. It was tougher than the one in the gym. Even at a level 1:confused:

Cookie - we paid to have it put together, although DH ended up helping anyway:eek: DH didn't mind, since those guys were amazing. They even drove to Home Depot to pick up a srew, so I can at lest workout until a tech comes. They also had to order the srew.

Kirstin - I agree, with Lori on Hiit wo. I love that one. Especilly DWP! But if you don't have the money, than Intensity is close.Did you get Cathe's 2 new workouts? If so how do you like them? I don't reach to often for Circuit Blast. Only done it once or twice:eek:

Lori - did you get Cathe's 2 new workouts? How do you like it? I am thinking ordering them with the new 10 dvds series! LOL, about Lulu:p No, I don't own any:eek: We do have a store in DC. I went in that store once, have to say...cute stuff. Little to price for me, since I workout at home.:eek: About the downloads, saw a thread on here:eek: that explains how to burn them into a dvd. ;) I will look for the thread;) have fun with your UB workout today. Need to get a UB workout in too.

Debbie - we bought a NortiTrack E15.0. It comes with iFit:D Very cool! I still want a TM and a spin bike:p we didn't put the elliptical together:eek: the book was so confusing:rolleyes::eek: it took 2 delivery guys (the 2 guys that delivered the elliptical) and my husband to firgure how how to get the weel going:eek: the 2 guys said they are so thankful that my husband was there too and helped. LOL!

Amelia - come on over:eek: I got enough workout gym equipment. I still need a TM and a spin bike. Once they on sale I will buy it:p I like a great deal! You are getting quit some good workouts in this week, keep it up!

I need to get moving. Oh, did I mentioned we starting to paint again this weekend:confused: not looking forward too. Need to get my sons bedroom ready, he will get 2 bedrooms. They both smaller. Alesia took the big one:p than we still have the living room and kitchen. Oh, I almost forgot, than the workout room:eek: we still have lots to do on the house.

I will be back later. Happy Friday!
 
Hola! So baseball is cancelled for today due to the rain. We are going out to dinner tonight, to this place called The Burger Shack. . . the have the most delicious burgers (guess they should with that title). So I am going to be bad, lol. I did LBB today. I turned off my a/c veing as though the humidity dropped and just opened the windows to air out the house. Well, I was dripping, literally dripping with sweat. When it came time to do the floorwork, I was dripping sweat beads onto my mat, it was kind of gross, but boy do I feel good now, lol.

Did you all hear about the shooting in Colorado? Just crazy! My heart goes out to all the victims and their families. So scary. Here on Long Island, in Nassau County, there will be a police presence in the movie theaters. How insane is this? I think the city is doing something similar. I think that Suffolk County (where I live) will be doing this too.

Belinda- Never bought the new workouts, although I might when I preorder the new set. I envy your elliptical :). Painting is such a chore. I am always excited when we decide to paint a new color for a room and then after ten minutes of actually painting the enthusiasm escapes me, lol.

Lori- did you work the legs today? I love having time with just one child. In the morning they cannot even ask me for anything until I have coffee. . . I have them trained, lol. They see the cup and they'll ask, "Are you almost done with your coffee or did you just start drinking it?" LOL!

Deb- nice job on your spin class. Jessica wants me to do another Soulcycle class with her. I think I might once I get a paycheck again.

Okay, I am off to the shower!

Kristin
 
Hi,

I took a yoga class today & work afterwards, didn't even mind the rain since it's Friday:) I've been spending too much time reading about the movie theater shooting so sad:(

Lori - Like Belinda said I say a thread on how to burn a DVD, you may need some kind of software will see if I can find it for you. Hope you enjoyed your workout today.

Belinda - I think all the machines at the gym are broken in because the resistance on my TM is so hard even DH & DS think so. Just think how many times a day those machines are used but you'll have yours broken in no time;)

Kristin - I hope you enjoyed a rainy day, sometimes they can be fun. I was wondering if you still took Soulcycle sometimes. . . I'm sure if could be pretty pricey. DH's gym just added classes & they start at $20 per class. I'm lucky our gym doesn't charge extra for spin classes.

Waves hi to Amelia & Cookie

Goodnight:)
 
Good Morning:)

I'm starting to enjoy my Saturday's more then I thought. I'm glad I just get to do my own thing today and that there isn't much of a schedule. I have a feeling my fil will be by to get DS at some point in time. He usually picks him up on Saturdays. I was also thinking about taking him to see ice age 4 but I would have to drive 90 mins there and back, and the movie doesn't start until 7 which means we wouldn't get home until 10 tonight. I haven't ruled it out but I could also wait and see when it's playing in a closer town and hope they have a afternoon viewing.

Yesterday's workout was 20 mins on the tm, bm2 circuits and BM circuits. It was so weird doing BM. It was my first cathe workout and I swear I did it everyday. I remembered every move and everything she said I could say it word for word. How come we remember things like that.....and words to a song that we haven't heard in years? But yet anything of importance goes out the window?

Picked up some nice lulu from my friend yesterday. The crops are called run in the sun and they are so cute. She also picked up a tank to go with it. I may have to start a 3rd drawer for my lulu:confused:. Seriously!

Belinda** Id love to find a link regarding burning those workouts. I can try and search it. If I had a laptop it wouldn't be a issue. I could just take the laptop to the basement and I don't think I can download them unto ds's iPad. My dog doesn't really notice the storms. We don't have thunder and lightening very often....then again he isn't the smartest dog. A couple of my friends stopped by yesterday and the dog just stayed downstairs barking. He didn't stop and he didn't even come up to see what was on the go. I think that's what irritates me the most. He won't even come up stairs to see what he's barking out. Then he slacks off and then starts up again as soon as someone moves or makes a high pitched noise. He's a very annoying dog. I think his barking has gotten worse since DH left. He even barks at us when we come out of a different room sometimes....he's strange. I think there's something wrong with him...lol
I workout at home to but I really think you need to buy yourself a treat! Or get DH to buy you a cute little tank top:) I love the new DVDs. I don't think you will be disappointed.

Kristin** that's funny about the boys asking about your coffee. If only I could train everyone that well. Ive already been interrupted a few times since I started mine and started this thread! And now by the sounds of if the baby is doing his poop.....ugh.

Deb** I'm not sure what the world is coming to. Eventually we will have to be screened like we are in a airport wherever we go. It's sad to think that we can't go to a mall or out in public without being in danger. I think drugs plays a big role in the craziness.

I may bbl to report my workout! Have a good day!

Lori:)
