Commit to get fit and lean for May 3, 2011

Good Morning Ladies

I've been a wreck job lately....but I think I've come to terms with the fact that I want to leave the gym. I'm in too deep of a hole financially and mentally NOT to....so I've been looking. Really looking. *sigh*. But I can't let my workouts go to hell, so I started STS yesterday...:D And will try and get 2 days of Legs in...(Tuesdays and Friday's) I hope.

So today I will do CSF Legs and No Equip. Abs ...and maybe a stretch max......

Belinda- You're here!!! On our time! ;) How you feeling after that long trip?

BBL...I have some catching up to do!
 
Good Morning Ladies:)

Feels like I have been awake forever! My coworker called last night and wanted to know if I wanted to do a flight @ 11:45. I said yes, but then the times changed to 1:20:mad: It was after 2 before I went to bed, couldn't get to sleep of course and then DS was awake at 6:30:confused: UGH!!! Anyway, I am probably gonna do my workout this a.m and take a nap when he goes to preschool this afternoon:p

I bought 30 lbs db's yesterday and I used them for chest...well, as much as I could anyway. It was tough! 5 lbs jump in each hand is alot! My chest is very sore today. I am looking forward to doing one arm rows with them today. Should be a little easier. Yesterday's workout was GS chest and shoulders, and a 9.2 km run. I would have pushed it to 10 if I didn't think the dog was gonna die. It was his first run this year and he was wiped after 5 k.

Belinda** Sounds like the time change isn't getting to you to much! LOL Your almost there!!

Ameila** Happy Birthday to DS! I think all kids are a tad bit older then their age. Sad but true.

Iris** What do you mean by leaving the gym? Looking for work in another gym? The PT thing is good here the way I am doing it b/c people pay me on the side. If I had to get paid through a gym...alot of the time its just min wage! I can't believe that.

Kristin** I am looking forward to having a smaller payment as well. I don't think we have never NOT had a payment. DH always wants something new before the old is either paid for or the lease is up. Don't worry about playing peek a boo.....check in when you can.

Trish** LOL....you really need to get you some lulu before the RT!:p I gained weight while I was on vaca as well and its sloooooowly coming off. And I mean slowly. Didn't help that the easter bunny made a little stop either. The race is at the end of May, the 29th I think.

Melissa** what is it about men and their foolishness. DH won't do a Cathe workout with me b/c she is a girl and b/c he figures I will tell everyone that he couldn't finish a girls workout....b/c that is exactly what will happen.

Cookie**I don't know if DH would approve of the smaller payment more lulu plan! Yeah...Im not surprised I registered either. This can be as expensive or as cheap as I wanna make it. We are staying with friends on Fri and Sun night so the only night we have to pay for a hotel is Sat night and we are splitting that 3 ways.

O.k...I will bbl to report my workout!

Belinda-Im sure you have told me before but how long are you going to be in GA? How was your flight?

Iris-Awesome job on starting STS again. Hope you find another gym soon:)

Hi Girls,

Weight workout is done. My arms and back are gonna be soooo sore!:confused: But in a good way:) Those 30 lb'ers are coming in handy. I used them for one arm rows, lying extensions and over head tri extensions. I think that's what I needed instead of newer workouts.

Drinking my shake now and I am starving! Hoping that this fill me up until after my run. I am kind of hoping to catch a little nap after DS goes to preschool and then go for my run or vice versa.

Ameila** I don't know....but I hope it isn't one of those kids on the end cause if it is, he has girls clothes on;) Hope he has a good day!!

I will BBL!
Lori:)
 
Morning Ladies,

Great sleep last night, makes for a happy lady:D!! I had a great wo this morning - iTrain on the elliptical followed by AC Yoga abs and I levitated for the first time!! I had always tried to do it indian style, but decided to go with the lotus position today. Huge difference:cool:

Belinda - Welcome back to the states! You and Amelia aren't too far apart. Think you'll have time to meet up?

Iris - Sorry to hear that about the gym:confused: Maybe there will be another, better (without DC!!) opportunity down the road. Keep your head up! I may join you on stretch max later tonight;)

Lori - Sounds like a rough night. Nice wo though yesterday - even though you almost killed the dog! I got new dumbbells over the weekend, too. I love new workout stuff. Oh wow, your race will be here before you know it! Are you napping yet??

Amelia - I know, I know...the cutie in the middle, right?? Nice wos you have planned for today;)

Melissa - So are you waddling like a duck? My hamstrings and glutes are sore, but not too bad.

Cookie - Next week are the state tests for 3rd graders. Once that's over, I will feel a little relieved. For the weight loss, I followed Tosca's recharged diet and a modified Muscle & Fitness Hers rotation using Cathe. Btw, forgot to tell you guys that Tosca will be at the Learning Annex in NYC tomorrow night. I'm thinking I'll go and check her out. Horrible news about your student. How are the other students coping?

Kristin - I'm thinking I might add push/pull to my workout this week. I needed another full body and that might fit the bill! Good luck on tonight's game!!

Deb - Hope you're having a great day!
 
Just woke up from a nice nap. I struggled with it on the way home from taking DS to preschool. All the way home I was debating. I finally decided to lie down and if I didn't fall asleep within 20 mins, I would get back up. I had a nice 45 mins nap or so.

Trish** Glad to hear you got a good sleep. I love new workout gear and now music. I downloaded some new music for my run today. Tired of the same crap.

BBL to report.

Lori:)
 
LMAO Lori, I didn't even notice the girls in there :eek: too funny. And yep! Trish got it right...he's the giant in the middle. Seriously guys, people think he's like 8yrs old at first glance:p

anyways....i finished Lean circuit then i was toast, or shall i say burnt toast:confused:
I woke up with zero energy then after those 2 cups of coffee i was cleaning my kitchen up. I even cleaned out my refrigerator:eek: so I'd say that was enough physical activity for today.

Lori-WTG on your workout and your new toys!!! I love that toasty feeling after a weigh workout.

Trish-Im trying to remember what the lotus position is in yoga? I want to say is similar to dolphin? I know the indian way of doing a levitation hold wasn't happening with me:confused: my @ss wasn't a levitating anywhere but down;):p Awesome job

hello to everyone that follows...have a great day :)
 
Just got back from 10.5 kms. It was a good run but I have this burning feeling in my belly. I just like it when I drink coffee before I run. When I got back DD was taking the dog for a run. From my bedroom window I seen her run by....doing her mama proud!:)

Ameila** I thought you would find it funny. I was gonna say the kid in the middle but I wasn't sure. He is a big boy! Look at the little guy on the end? LOL He's super tiny!

Lori:)
 
Hi girls,

I took off today and went to the gym for Cardio Barre (which is similar to Squeeze DVD). I'm about to do 4 combos of KPC after I type this. My boss called and I was one of the only one's who found a new group of wallets that came in this month but honestly it's really confusing.

Belinda - I was thinking DH must be thrilled with the Bin Laden event. Do you feel less overwhelmed now that you are in the states?

Lori - LOL, I saw Trish post about the dog and missed it in your post, so I had to go back thinking you must have dropped the 30lb dumbbell on her:eek: well I guess not you but I would have!

Iris - Sorry your having so much stress with work:( Sending you positive vibes to find a job that will work out better for you.

Amelia - So I guessed wrong I was thinking the little guy with glasses. Happy Birthday to your future basketball player:)

Trish - That sounds awesome you may meet Tosca. You'll have to let us know all about it:) I've been following Tosca's book on and off. This week I made a mac & cheese & turkey meatloaf from the Oct. 2010 Oxygen mag . . . it just ok.

Cookie - Sorry about the bad news with your former student:( Is it the son that's in Boston?

Melissa - Too funny that your brother woke you up at that hour. How is the testing going? Just wanted to let you know I would only do my roots with over the counter product not my highlights cause that you be crazy.

Kristin - Hopefully your game is tonight because the weather is beautiful:) After STS it's so hard to decide what to do but your right about getting stronger.

Enjoy the rest of the day:)

Evening!
Belinda, how are you doing with the time change? Did you get a workout in?
Iris, hope things work out for you with a different position. It must be so stressful.
Deb, yes the same son. He did an internship in Boston last summer and graduates from Cornell later this month. Some of the kids saw the stabbing so they're quite upset over it, but of course state testing goes on...
Kristin, don't you love SED? They don't have enough manpower or money to really operate but they sure can make our lives aggravating. Good luck tomorrow. Rumor has it the boy was stabbed over past bad feelings! So sad. Oh, my dh did sts with me, and it humbled him. A couple of my sons have done bits of some of Cathe's workouts and they couldn't keep up. They all say she's not human.
Melissa, are you off studying? Do you have many finals?
Trish, did you go meet Tosca? Hope so. How is the recharged different from her other eat clean diet book? I never lose wt. Seriously. And it is annoying. Which M&F rotation? I'm thinking of trying the one in this month's issue: three different type of tb exercises with cardio.
Amelia, your son is adorable; oh excuse me, very handsome. The time goes by so fast, doesn't it?
Lori, your poor dog. You need a dalmation, greyhound or something that will run and run and run. Five lbs sure makes a big difference.
Helene, hope you're soaking up some sun for the rest of us.
Did arms, shoulders, and abs today.
