Commit to get fit and lean for July!

Hey guys. Happy Friday! I know some of you are going in the RT, enjoy! Wish I was there. I just finished AT and the stab. ball abs from B&G. DS is supposed to have a game tonight, but it is looking as though it will rained out. It rained and roared last night. The sun was out this morning, but now it is getting darker and darker out.

Anyway. . . I cannot believe July is almost over. The summer is going by way too fast for my liking ;).

Belinda- I made whole wheat -pasta. . . although I was thinking of trying my own pizza. Maybe when I am feeling more ambitious, lol. You are too funny, promising DH to not work out, and then doing "something" anyway. I am the same way. I hate missing a day of working out when it is not my rest day.

Lori- sounds like you had a nice evening yesterday. I don't know why, but I thought your parents lived close by. Anyway. .. enjoy the weekend and the packing. I hear you on the airfare. It's ridiculous all around.

Deb- have fun on the RT!!!! Tell everyone I said hello!

Amelia- what workout did you do today? Do you get a weekend day off from work? I used to hate working retail because it meant working on the weekends, always :(

Cookie- I forgot. . . are you going on the RT too?

BBL,
Kristin
 
Hallo again,

I ended up doing a 39 min full body circuit workout with Chris Freytag "10 Pounds Slimdown Xtreme - Total body circuit". Awesome workout! She does compound moves, which gets your HR up! I burned 311 cal! Not bad for a short workout! I found the workout on youtube for free! Love youtube! You find lots of full workouts over there.

Kirstin - wow, on making pasta! You go, girl! If you have time would you mind sharing the recipe? LOL! I don't remember the last time I made pizza? Taste so much better! Good job, on AT and your ab workout today.

I will try to be back later, can't promise!
 
Good evening,

I also did the live KB class from the RT.

Cookie and Debbie - had no idea you girls went to the RT:eek: Looks like you having lots of fun.

It was fun watching the Cathe and the RT'ers live!

Good night!
 
Hi Girls,

I have a minute to check in while I am waiting for DD to get ready for dinner. We are going to the dinner theater and the boys are staying with my parents. It will be nice to sit and eat.

Yesterday's workout was tm and AB ( not sure if I already reported that) and today I ran outside for 10k. It was way to hot when I left but when I turned around to come home there was a breeze in my face....thank goodness!

Belinda** lol...DH is going to catch on to your sneaky tricks! I don't think DH would believe me either if I said I wasn't going to workout. Whenever I can't figure out what workout to do my running partner always tells me that a day off is an option. But I consider my working out time MY time and if I don't get MY time then everyone else best stay out of my way. I will have a couple of days off when I visit DH.

Kristin** my parents live little over an hour away. It's not that far but far enough to stay for a couple of days when I go. There isn't anything else to do he but relax which is nice b/c I don't get to do that much anymore.

Alright...DD is ready...away we go!

Lori:)
 
Hey girls, quick check while DH gets ready. We're headed to town for some school clothes shopping. I can't believe they start back on the 13th:( There getting so big and too fast!

I haven't had a chance to workout in two days but I have been pretty active. I cleaned up the house yesterday and planted 6 rose bushes :confused: I was sweating buckets after that:eek: Today was inventory at work so I've had my nose in a calculator and paper work all day long. Tomorrow will be the same thing:rolleyes:

Belinda- LOVE the workout room pics...awesome!!

Hello to everyone. I will try and check back in tonight before bed with some more personals.
 
Hi everyone. Yesterday was an unscheduled rest day. I was going to do BM2 Cardio and Weights, but time got away from me. We spent the evening in the city with Jessica and her family. The kids went to a karate class party that Jessica's husband was in charge of and then we walked around and had a fantastic dinner. So to make up for yesterday's workout missed, I did BM2, but the bootcamp premix. I've never done this premix before. I loved it. I sweated buckets, plus in the original BM2 sequence by the time I get to the power circuits, I am so beat that I don't jump very high or I get sloppy. I thought this premix was perfect because I was able to give it my all and have good form too.

Amelia- we don't go back to school until September up here. I was starting to feel down seeing that August was rolling in. The summers go by so fast. Now that I know your schools are opening soon, I don't feel so down, lol. What grades are your little ones starting? My older one is going into second grade and my youngest is heading to pre-k.

Lori- hope you are enjoying your stay with your parents. What show did you see at the dinner theater?

Belinda- I see you've been watching the videos from the road trip too. Are you thinking about next year? I know I am, lol.

Kristin
 
Good afternoon,

I did another RT workout via live stream:eek: I did :eek: Today was Slide & Glide + CF low Impact Tabata!! Loved it! I felt like I was at the RT and sweating it out with all the others:p Thank goodness, my workout room is huge...I even ran all those laps! My dog was running with me, he thought I was playing with him:confused:

Well, I kinda left DH stranded with the painting all weekend:p while he was painting the bedroom upstairs, I was working out:p LOL! Poor guy:eek: At one point he said to me..next year you are going:p It's all good. I had a blast following Cathe and the RT'ers.

Lori - so what did you end up seeing? Have fun at your parents house. At least you get a little brake. LOL, about your running partner! You gonna see your husband soon, right?

Amelia - hope you had fun shopping. Can't believe school is starting already.

Kirstin - sounds like you had a fun weekend with Jessica! DH is making me go to the RT next year:eek: did you see Cookie and Debbie?

Cookie and Debbie - hope you had fun at the RT this weekend. Did you see Helene and Trish? I am sooo ordering CF and TTM:p I loved the band workouts this weekend. Woke up this morning with DOMS!

Cookie - was that your daughter?

Debbie - loved the black workout cloth, so cute!

Not sure, if I take a rest day tomorrow?? We shall see.

I will try to be back later.

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for keeping the thread alive & looks like you guys put in a lot of workouts too!

The RT was a lot of fun, missed all of you. I was lucky too meet Cookie's daughter who is adorable & sweet. It was awesome hanging out with them. We caught up with Helene, Trish & Melissa here & there but they had a pretty large group with MFP, I never did get around to checking in at that site:eek: They looked great. Belinda that's amazing that you did the workouts with us, can't believe you saw us too . . . too bad we couldn't see you too:eek: The workouts & the whole RT was very similar to last year. I thought the hardest workout was Sunday mornings class also it was the most crowded.

Belinda - I'm sure your gym was as big as the track at Cathe's gym. I think this mornings w/o was my favorite too! I think the band work in CF & TTM was a great idea. So you skipped out on the painting, I bet DH left some for you;)

Lori - Have fun at your Mom's this weekend. We thought about you when we sat with a few RT'ers who are running 1/2 marathons. Are you packing for your trip yet?

Kristin - It seems like a lot of people from the waiting list were able to get into the RT this year so I'm thinking next year may not be a problem. I'm excited about the new series because Chris said there will be lots of premixes. It sounds like you had a lot of fun with Jessica & your families.

Amelia - I'm always amazed when your schools start so early. I would have to eat a lot of the cookies so there would be less to count;)

Cookie - So how fast did DD fall asleep, when you left the driveway:eek: I'm guessing she'll sleep till Wednesday:) I really enjoyed the weekend & you & your DD were a big part of that.

Goodnight:)

Good morning :)

Trying to debate if I should workout before the baby's immunizations at 11. Doesn't leave a massive amount of time but I like being showered and ready for the day. And b/c I worked out last night, I washed my hair before I went to bed so I have bit of a disaster going on here right now.

I didn't have time to workout yesterday morning b/c my mom was to busy to watch the boys. So I did 25 mins on the tm, CF and GS shoul and bics last night. It was late and I debated not working out but what would I have done instead? Sat in my rear and went from cupboard to cupboard? Lol

Belinda** I can see your dog (or any dog) chasing when dng laps...lol. I saw parts of the workout but my iPad kept freezing on me so I logged out. It was nice to see though. I was going to see if my sister wanted to go next year. We always say we are going to go. I should hurry up and do it....maybe we will finally get to meet each other!

Kristen** I use to do BM2 a lot. I think when I wore a HR monitor it said I burned over 600 cals. Meanwhile HST was only little over 200! I was so rotted! Lol I've been pulling out DVDs here and there lately. It's nice to do some of cathe older stuff every once in a while. It's still tough.

Amelia** the kids dont go to school her until the first week in sept. They didn't get out until the end of June. When I visit DH I am going to do DSs school cloths shopping. I can't believe he is going to school. I'm not sure what I'm in for!

Deb** sounds like you had a awesome time! I bet it's nice to meet people that you've chatted with over the years. Hopefully we will get to meet some day!

I should feed my baby and then decide if I'm going to workout or just get ready for his appt.

Lori:)
 
Morning girls,

I had a really busy weekend with no workouts:( I'm off today and plan on getting in something. Im not feeling to well so It may not be my best effort. I've got a scratchy throat and stuffy nose + I just don't feel good.

I will bb after my workout.
 
Morning girls,

Not sure if I will workout today? I am tired from all those workouts this weekend. Yesterday I did the RT via lives stream BC, loved it! Have some nice doms going this morning too.

How was your weekend and what are your plans today?

I will be back later w/personals!
 
Hey girls, 30 minute punching combo's done earlier today. I still don't feel too good.

Belinda-Did I mention how much I love your new workout room? Nice going on the streamed workouts girl...i viewed the zumba one today and it looked fun.

Lori-How did the baby do with his immunization shots? I remember my DD screaming and my DS not even flinching. Nice workout last night did you decide on getting in a workout before the doctors appt?

Hey Deb- Glad to see you back and had a good time on the RT! I wish Trish, Mel and Helene would check in here, i sure do miss them. How are the muscles today?;):p

Kristin-Great job with your BM2 premix, I think I've done that one before and yes..you definitely do sweat buckets. But then again...all of Cathe's workouts has me sweating buckets:eek:. My little DS will be in 2nd grade and my DD in 5th:confused: I can't believe she will be in middle school next year:( where do the years go?

Cookie-How was your weekend? I will have to check out that workout you recommended I love low impact stuff.

Hello to anyone that follows. I will check back in after work tomorrow:) Oh and here is a little pic I took of some peanut butter fudge that I had to chop up into bite size pieces and then package it. :eek::eek::eek: I didn't have any:cool::D
fudge.jpg
 
'Evening!
Belinda, my husband would have definitely left part of the painting for me! Did yours? Sorry we couldn't see you, but glad you were sweating along with us. Yes, that probably was my daughter. She's Chinese, about my height, and she's Deb #1 fan.
Amelia, hope you're feeling better now. Were you tempted by the fudge? Can't believe your dd is going into fifth grade! Wow, the time does fly.
Lori, are you saying your hair looks like mine does all the time? It would be fabulous to actually see you face-to-face. That's a lot of Lulu that you have!
Kristin, your weekend sounds like a lot of fun. Please tell Jessica hi from us. Do your boys watch the Olympics?
Deb, Mei slept once we were on the highway til home! Her arms, especially her shoulders, have doms today. Used my new tote bag today and got compliments on it. My report is done! Was your dh lonely?
Had to take a rest day to get paperwork done this morning. Had fun at the rt, but kept wishing we could all be there. Perhaps next year... Cannot believe it is the end of July already. Went to Chipolte for lunch, but ate pretty good, and then only had a salad for dinner.
Cookie
 
Hi,

I took a rest day this is going to be a busy week. My SIL called & our friends want to get together on Thursday all day so I'm trying to squeeze in work, foodshopping & w/o's . . . cleaning maybe;)

Lori - Well you certainly have enough clothes for the RT & it would be great to meet you. Wow, DS starts school that should be helpful to you. Will you have to drive him?

Belinda - Weren't you really sick last year after the RT? Take it easy it was almost like you were at the RT without the food.

Amelia - Wow, your bakery even sells fudge!! It looks yummy. The punching combos sound like fun.

Kristin - What are you up to? I think we're meeting near Smithtown?? on Thursday not sure if that's even near you.

Cookie - I didn't eat too good today need to get back on track. I love Chipolte. I'm sure DH was lonely not that he would admit it LOL.

Goodnight:)
 
Good morning,

Took the dogs for a short walk last night, that's was it!

We have to return the elliptical. The tech came yesterday, to put on the screw on the fligh wheel. He told us the fligh wheel is bent, the handles are on the wrong side (I noticed the first time I was on it) one on the foot padels was set/stuck on a 15 incline. No wonder, I was huffing and puffing after 15 min on that thing? Also couldn't get into iFit. The tech wanted to sent someone else out for the computer, I was like hell no!! I don't have time for for that. From my understanding, the elliptical was dropped when they delivered it. Way to many problems right up front for me, I told my husband I don't want it anymore. The tech had the nerves to leave all the pieces on floor next to the bowflex?? WTH??? I told him, you better clean up that mess and put that ellipctial back together. I wasn't so nice...if you know what I mean. Not only I can't workout on the maschine, but he wanted to mess my workout room up. I He is dealing with the wrong person! I was so ticked off yesterday!! Sorry for venting!

Debbie- I did see your lovely daughter. She is so pretty! How old is she? I love Chipolte, Aleisa and I split the foold. Way to much for me.

Debbie - good for you taking it easy yesterday. Yeah, I was sick last year at the RT. Believe it or not, have an infection right now!

Amelia - so proud of you for keeping up with your workouts. We are all into this together. Good job! Not looking at the pic...making me want some, lol!

Lori - heard a lot of peoples ipad was freezing while watching. I watched it on my laptop. How did the baby's immunization go?

BTW, I ordered the X-Train,To the Max (10 DVDs + downloads)/ Cross Fire and some new weight lifting cloves yesterday:p I couldn't resist on ordering CF and TTM:p:eek: not after the RT workouts. Those band workouts are way to much fun:p

Not sure, what I will do today?

Hi Kirstin!

I will be back later.
 
Good Morning

I have the yawns this morning....feels like I had 3 hours of sleep or something

DS is suppose to have soccer at 11 but it's raining. I probably won't bother to go which really frees my morning up for working out. I also have a hair appt tonight. I'm not sure what color I will try. I did red highlights the last time and they didn't stay in. I was thinking blonde and copper ones maybe....

Last night I went for a run and I did abs. I am certain that garmins don't work at night! Lol. I felt like I was motoring! Even my legs were sore and my arms were moving ( like they do when I race or run fast) and I barely broke a 5 min km? WTH??? I ran faster at my moms with the warm weather and tons of hills! Here, it was a cool evening with no hills! You may laugh at me but I don't think it's right...lol. Then I did abs when I got home. Today I need to catch up on weights b/c I want to get as much in as I can before Friday. I still need to check out the gym in the hotel.

The baby did good yesterday. It was only one needle so no biggie. He weighs 17.9 lbs now. I also received a few compliments yesterday. Always nice to bear after having a baby. But I won't having another one!

Belinda** did you workout after??? I have days like that...just not often. I usually workout early so I don't have to fight with myself.

Cookie** good girl not having any of that fudge...I can't say I would have done the same. My sil sent over candy Sunday night, cake yesterday morning with the girls and they just brought over banana muffins!!! I don't know what she is trying to do to me! Lol

Cookie** yeah I wouldnt need any new cloths for a rt. I remembered the other day that I haven't even tried on my newest pair of capris:eek:....just a sign that I dont need more. Maybe if we move I will put my pt course to good use and I will use all of that workout cloths:p

Deb** my sister and I have talked about going on the rt sometime. Maybe next year this time. It would be awesome. Who do you share your hotel room with?

I will bbl to report my workout. Happy Tuesday! It's almost Friday!

Lori
 
Hi girls. Yesterday ended up being a rest day for me. We went to the water park out in Riverhead, Splish Splash. Everyone had a lot of fun, but by the time we got home and showered and changed I was too tired to even do a Yoga workout, lol. I ate a bunch of crap yesterday too :mad::eek:. Oh well, trying to keep it halfway clean today. I ended up doing HSC. I am really hoping that Cathe creates a kickass rotation for August, although she is so busy, I am sure, with the new series that if I have to come up with my own game plan, I will.

Belinda- so funny how we are both caving in and buying the new workouts, CF and TTM. I did not do the RT workouts, but I watched them and I want them, lol. I am still waiting until I get my first paycheck of the school year though ;).

Lori- I love getting different highlights, color. Let us know what you go with tonight. LOL about the garmin not working right. I think it's possible it wasn't working right, though. Three days to go!!!

Deb- I am about 20 minutes from Smithtown, lol. I live off of exits 62 nd 63 on the Long Island Expressway. The new workouts sound so good. I love lots of premixes, :D. Did he say anything else about the new workouts?

Amelia- ooooohhhhh fudge. . . one of my weaknesses, lol. One more year until middle school! I don't knwo how I will handle that. I was crying all through Ds kindergarten graduation, lol. I am such a wimp. I will have to try really ahrd not to be a helicopter mom then, lol, ;)

Okay, I will bbl. DS has a baseball game tonight, but it has been really dark and cloudy all day. I am thinking it might rain.

Kristin
 
Hi girls,

Back to report my workout: Did the RT live stream "Slide & Glide + Cross Fire Low impact Tabata":p I LOVE that workout:p I was sweating bucket.

Kirstin - you need to do the workout via live stream. You gonna love it:eek: Isn't it funny how we both caving in and buying CF & TTM:eek:.What was I thinking, not wanting those workouts:eek::p I should get my DVDs this week, can't wait!

Lori - I think, you picked a nice color for your hair. You little one is getting big. Woohoo, 3 more days:eek:

I need to shower. BBL!
 
Hi,

I showed up late for spin & all the bikes were taken so I did the ellipitical for 30 min. & bi's & tri's. I've been so hungry all day:confused: fighting to stay away from food even as I type this at this late hour.

Belinda - Ugh, on all the problems with the ellipitical & trying to mess up your w/o room:mad: Wondering if you get an infection certain times of the year. I'll have to check out the live stream w/o's haven't watched them.

Lori - Blondes are supposed to have more fun LOL. I'm sure the Dr's office is amazed that you lost all the baby weight. Cookie & I share a room some people do go solo.

Kristin - I can't imagine exercising after spending the day at the fun park, sounds like you had fun. Even though I've been to my friends house several times can't remember the exit:confused: will let you know. I hope I don't run into you because my friends do not eat clean at all . . . they may not even know what that means:eek: they are my friends that I grew up with as well as my SIL.

Amelia - Great job with your run!

Cookie - I have more DOMS today then Monday:confused: How are you?

Goodnight:)
