Commit to get fit and lean for Mon Feb-11-08

Good Morning Belinda(or afternoon)

Todays workout is a 20min HIIT(not sure what kind yet) and then this is my UB week so PUB!

Im just glad my arms aren't sore anymore! I did pub last wednsday and had major doms up until yesterday :eek:!

I need back on track vibes girls x( it did it agian,ate something I wasn't suppose to yesterday for dinner! Darn chicken wings x(. Today is a fresh new start and i am SO loving the scale going down :7! My free day is saturday and for some reason-for the past two weeks-its been on sunday evening too! gotta do away with that crap;-) NO MORE,this sunday NO MORE!;-)

My Dh starts his new job wednsday but until then he is home! Its SO hard to do anything when hes home...why is that? LOL

My rest day was so nice yesterday,i needed it !

Belinda-What leg workout are you doing today...the bfl style?

Hey to the rest of the gang!I have a test to take sometime today online so wish me luck! Oh and im going to try and go get a manicure and pedicure today(first time in over TWO YRS that Ive had it done,just don't have the time :-( with two kids)

ETA-I just had a little vent over in the challenge thread(LOL) so thought I would post it here too...feels good to get it out!

Its frustrating to go off track,even if it was just for one meal(also had some donut holes x( and shouldn't have bought them,hadn't bought them in a while but caved in yesterday) I cant whine about it now,its happend and its over and today is a new day! Hopefully that two pds loss last week won't come back :-(

And the worst thing about it my DH said"your gonna regret buying those(donut holes)" as I was putting them into the buggy! I wanted to throw them at him }( and he was eating those potatoe wedge things(as he was speaking)that they sell at the walmart deli area ! *rolls eyes* MEN!!! He desides he wants to start working out on the tread mill so he sarts walking and jogging last week and he drops over 8pds in one week! And never even thinks about what he puts in his mouth? Now THAT is frustrating-here I am writing in my food journal,measuring,making sure I eat every two-three hours,drinking my water, basically watching everything that goes in my mouth and working out six days a week and barely making the scale move(but it is moving so can't complain too much;-))! While he just 'decides' that its time for him to lose weight! Hes got 20 more pds to go and he will be done(and please don't miss understand me,Im thrilled that he is losing weight and working out;-))

AWWWWWWW,feels better ;-)
 
Good Morning Lovlies:)

Had another great sleep last night. Although I did dream that DH and i called it quits so he moved out...but we weren't married. Then when we changed our minds and he moved back in he wasn't DH anymore. Instead he was someone from the Young and the Restless and Nicky Newman had him in her bad books cause she was my mother! LOL Then the phone woke us up at 7:30, wanting to know if I wanted to work an OT shift. HELLLLLLLLLLLLO? Is 3 OT shifts this month not enough? Lets just throw another one in there! I don't think so. I don't even feel bad about saying no. I usually feel bad and I have always went in if someone called in sick but I have DS now and its a different story. I have already been away from him the last 3 days. Its my bosses own fault that he hasn't hired someone yet and until he has a few of these situations he isn't going to hire anyone.

Belinda** Enjoy wokring those legs today! I hate working legs, incase you haven't noticed:) I don't usually comment that i worked my legs and if I am suppose to it doesn't get done!n LOL

Amelia...Amelia** What can I say? You've been a naughty girl again!}( As long as you don't do it again, look at the bright side. You still lost 2.2 lbs last week...my goal for this week. I was 122.2 today so I want to see 120 by the time Sat rolls around. As for DH, a friend of mine was telling me the other day that her DH's cholestrol is up so he as been eating oatmeal every morning for breakfast. Just b/c of that one meal a day, he lost 10 lbs in one week! What is it with men?

Cheryl** Yes, I can remember when I started the ww's thread and you were aiming for 118 and you were only a couple of lbs off. I was thinking...Ill never see that #! And I wasn't even aiming for it, it was sooo out of my reach. But I got there without even trying and thats why this recent weight gain as me freaked out. Ill always remember the saying in the BFL book, "the only thing bad thing about losing weight is not knowing how you lost it" LOL

Carrie** Good job on the workout yesterday! Are you sticking with P90X again this week?

Laine** I hate complicated step moves. I just throw it down and put in something that I know. Hope your rotation works out for you!

Kristine** When does DH get back? I bet she is keeping you on your toes! Does SD live with you? Good job on the run yesterday!

Stacy** Glad to see everything is starting to look up! DH should be glad that you didn't act like a man and lie on the couch for 14 days,sick. You know what men are like when they are sick! They can't move!

Shannon** I don't think you checked in yesterday. Hope all is well!

Hope I didn't miss anyone!

I think todays workout is going to be BM2 and a full body weight workout, like PH or ME!

I will be back later!
Lori:)
 
I also wanted to add in here. A friend of mine called yesterday whom I haven't been talking to in monthes. We were fairly close. We use to walk alot in the summer time but then she just stopped calling. And everytime I called her, she would never answer. Of course, paranoia set in and I wondered what I had done wrong? She was getting married next summer and wanted me to be one of her bridesmaids. Then I thought she may have changed her mind and in order to demote me,she needed to get rid of me:-( Thats the only thing I could figure.DH kept asking where sara was and I told him I didn't know and that I had tried calling her and she never returned my calls, therefore I gave up!
She also works at the airport and works opposite of me. If I do days, she does nights, so we are off on the same days.
She called yesterday when I was at work and informed me that she was a single,cancer free women. Of course she had to back up and the cancer part didn't even sink in. She told me that she finally ended it with her DF, she had been unhappy for quit sometime.Then she told me that she had cancer cells in her cervix that she had removed two weeks ago!
She said the reason she cut everyone out of her life was b/c she was unhappy and she knew people would see it and she didn't want to answer their questions. Not only that she was very moody and irritable! Im glad she got rid of her BF b/c he was weird. She was the outgoing one while he was the needy one who stayed home and waited for her to show up! Strange relationship.
Anyway...she is gonna come over today for a visit.
She is a really tiny girl anyway, maybe 105 lbs, 5'1".SHe said that they weighed her before her surgery and she was only 94 lbs!:eek: She was sooo stressed out that she lost 10 lbs! Poor thing!

Just wanted to tell someone!
Lori:)
 
Lorie,glad to hear your old friend is coming over today and you guys get to talk! And congratulations to her for being cancer free,and for realizing that she wasnt happy and now working towards being happy!

ok,need to work out now,bbl
 
Hi girls

Right after I did my abs this morning, I did Leaner Legs for CTX! WOW! What a leg workout! My DH took me out for lunch (lobster & steak) Yummy! I didn’t eat the steak!

I had so much fun after the cemetery yesterday! My sisters and my BIL complimented my all day about my weight loss/inches! I was surprised they notice! Even my DH keeps telling me how small I am getting! They wanted to know how I lost so much weight in such a short time! So I told them about BFL! They are not ready for that one yet! LOL! They want me to give them the protein pancake recipes! Isn’t that funny?

Amelia** I am glad you enjoyed your workout today! As long as your scale is going down don’t worry about your eating! Good luck with your test!

Lori** Nice dreams you are having! I agree it isn’t fair your DH lost 10 pounds like that! My DH losses weight just like that! I don’t get it? I am sorry about your friend! I am glad you are talking now! Poor girl! I am glad she is cancer free!

Off to make some protein pancakes, I will be back later!

Hey girls,im done with my workout and im SO GLAD!!!

Hey,where is everybody?

PUB is one hard workout! I do have a question...why can't i lift in my chest with dumbells what i can lift with my bb? Its a struggle with my chest! i lifted 10/12/15 today,but with a bb i can do a 35pd bb!

is it because the weight is in each hand!?

Oh and I made a 100 on my test-I did crash in the bedroom last night and study like a mad women!LOL;-)

off to drink my protien shake and take a shower !!

Belinda-Great workout-steak and lobster sound yummy! I tried to eat a steak on my free day but there was a sixty minute wait x( next time we will leave a bit earlier!Why didn't you eat the steak? I have to sometimes be in the mood for a big hunk of meat,LOL;-)
 
Hello all!

How's Monday going for everyone? Well, I feel a little better today, hardly any coughing this morning which is GREAT, especially after last night when I was up with a terrible coughing fit! I have had the cough so long that my sides are killing me, probably strained some muscles. I have 4 more days left on my anitibiotic, so I'm thinking at this point the smartest thing for me to do is to rest and fully kick this cough before I workout again. I'm VERY hopeful that I can start back up again this Sunday. That is my goal. I've been off track now for several weeks, so I'll definitely ease back into it.

I was very productive this morning and have been doing Clean Max while my DS is napping. My kitchen is sparkly clean, even the floors, trash is out, and I'm working on laundry. Feels good to get my house back to normal at least.

Belinda, great job on the CoreMax workout and that is FANTASTIC about all the compliments you are getting:) That is such a good feeling to work so hard and lose weight and have people acknowledge that. :)

Amelia, don't stress on the slip up yesterday, just keep moving forward! You are doing SUPER!!!! That is really frusterating how men can lose weight so fast! My DH is the same way, he's been working out for the past month consistently and has lost nearly 10 pounds I think. I'm happy for him though, and we actually are really supporting each other on the excercise. Good to have a buddy:) Great job on your test score today too;)

Lori, LOL I love your wacky dream!!! I have some pretty odd ones too, so you gave me a nice laugh this morning:) That's good that you said no to the overtime shift, I think that's the best way for your boss to realize he needs someone else there. I swear, bosses will work their employees into the ground if they can get away with it! How is your little Rylan doing? Ryan is walking everywhere now, and is sooooo cute!! He is so entertaining.

Shannon, I had been meaning to respond to your post from a few day ago about starting a family and forgot. I think that is fantastic that you want to have a baby! Sounds like you've put a lot of thought into it and you and your DH are both excited about it. While it will undoubtly change your life, I can tell you that it is the most rewarding thing you will ever do. IMO that is;) Motherhood has really changed me in the best possible ways. And, you WILL be able to lose the baby weight and regain your fitness. The ladies on these forums are a testament to that.

Okay, hello to Lainie, Carrie, Cheryl, and Kristine! Hope you are all well today.

Better go get some water and need to go pick up my DD from preschool.

Stacey
 
Hey ladies,

Well it has been one busy and dramatic weekend. I went to my dad's Saturday to visit, I also got to see my sister and nieces. My sister decides she wants to come back with me for a night so she followed me back to my house. I swear I never get a minute to sit down when they are here, I love them but I wasn't ready for another visit at my house that soon:) Well that night my dad called and told us that my uncle had been in a gas fire and was being flown to a hospital in Dallas. He was at a bonfire and some idiot decided they would throw a can of gas in the fire and of course it exploded. Three guys were hurt but he got the worst of it, approximately 70% of his body has 2nd or 3rd degree burns. I was told it got his legs, torso, hands, and face. Sad thing is he is my sisters age, about 22 years old. I feel extremely bad for him, he will be hospitalized for the at least the next 2 months. Todays workout will be Imax 2 & MM upper body premix.

Belinda - Great job on your workout, I don't have Leaner Legs but I have heard it is mean to the legs:)

Amelia - 100% on your test, you go girl...Good job:) I remember the days when I use to cram the night before a test, now it's just writing extremely long papers along with loads and loads of busy work. Sounds like you had a good workout and I wouldn't worry over the little slip up. Yesterday which was my free day, I had a burger, fries, and this dessert called a cookie monster (well split between me, my sis, and niece). It was sooooo good..lol It's ok to endulge yourself every once in a while, if I didn't I would be miserable.

Lori - I'm sorry to hear about your friend having cancer, I bet that did come as a complete shock. It's good to hear that she is cancer free and doing ok now. I wouldn't feel bad about not subbing for someone again either. Your right your kids are more important and it is not your responsibility to take up all the slack because your boss refuses to hire as many people as he needs. Hope you have a great day:)

Stacey - Glad to hear you are feeling a little better, I agree let your body completely recover before you jump back into those grueling workouts:) Thank you for sharing your thoughts of having a baby with me. I will admit I am still quite terrified but I know it will be wonderful when it is all said and done, the baby will be totally worth anything I have to go through:)
 
I was up in the middle of the night coughing again, but only twice and up no longer than 15 minutes at a time, so it could be worse. I'm o.k. today, coughing a little here and there. Today is an upper body workout (Amy's Slo-Mo back & shoulders) so I should be able to handle that. I went to physical therapy earlier, so I got some lower body work there. Ewan's speech therapist has already come and gone so I have plenty of time to work out while he naps (in a few minutes)

BBL for personals but have to get him down for that nap and do my exercise soon!

Hi girls

Today's workout was Shoulders,biceps, triceps and abs, ala, p90x. I am sore, I am going heavy and trying to max out at 15 reps. It's hard, and I am not very strong.

Shannon-so sorry about your uncle -how freaky! I hope he is doing ok. Sounds like a good workout for you today.

Amelia-oh, I totally agree with DH being around. MY DH is annoying the crap out of me lately. I can't get anything done, and then I have to care for DS pretty much the whole time b/c his back is out. I sound crabby, but it really gets old! I actually look forward to going to work to get the heck out of here.

Lori-good for you for turning down that extra shift. I worked at a place where they would do the same thing. We would be down a person, and they would just have all the people there cover that shift. The managers then, would not have to hire another person. You are right, your boss needs to suffer, and THEN he will hire someone.

Stacey-sounds like you are feeling better, Yay!

Lainie-you are having a productive day.

Carrie
 
Carrie-you sound like your ARE ready to high tale it outta there,LOL! Im sorry,i know its hard! My dh is outside right now waxing the car-I sent him to the store for some diapers and he comes back with carwax? this morning I found myself turning on cartoons(for him and ds,lol)so I could chat with you guys. I was right there with ya today doing upper body as well! Good job!

Stacey-Glad to hear your feeling better! What workout you got scheduled for saturday! Im glad your resting your body! I kinda got some cleaning done today,didn't do any good though-as soon as I cleaned up...DH and DS messed it up x(

Shannon-Im SO Sorry to hear about your uncle getting burned! And at such a young age too! Im so very sorry! I hope his recovery is a fast one and his scars heal nicely!

Belinda-I hope the next time I do PUB i am able to finish those chest reps...I couldn't finish those 15's-no frickin way. I guess the more I push myself,the more I will be able to acomplish.

Lainie-Enjoy your back and shoulder workout!

so todays meals are:
#1-1/2 c egg beaters and 1 slice whole wheat toast(WW)
#2-protien shake with 1tbs NPB
#3-turkey sandwich with veggies on top and dill pickle
#4-string cheese, and a orange
#5-buffalo chicken mac(recipe from Rachel ray,gonna try it-looks bfl friendly!)and a side salad
#6-not sure yet!

Isaac and Ewan have been playing with a big cardboard box for several days. Yesterday Isaac cut a door into the side of it. So he sets the open part on the ground and goes in a door on the side and calls it his house. Kids. :)

I enjoyed Amy's Slo-Mo split for back and shoulders. I also did the abs from her All Pump workout. I expect some good DOMS. I had a good workout considering how sleepy I am today!

Anyway, back for personals.

Amelia, my DH is the same--if he decides to lose weight, he loses it pretty quickly (and easily compared to me). He'll just say, I won't drink quite so many Cokes or something (but doesn't give up Coke altogether or drink Diet, of course). It's so annoying. He's now the biggest he's ever been and I think he's officially overweight (according to BMI) but he really doesn't look it and probably only needs to lose 5-10 pounds. Men.

Lori, wow, what a story about your friend losing touch and it turns out she had cancer. It's great that she's better now and back in touch. I can sort of understand how you might cut people off if you were sick like that, but you'd also lose some great help and support.

Belinda, do you have any before and after pictures? It sounds like you are getting pretty buff!

Stacey, sorry to hear you're still coughing, too. I hope the antibiotics are helping--I might have to go try some again myself. x(

Shannon, how terrible for your uncle. Burns seem so terrible and painful--just a little kitchen burn does me in. I hope they are able to relieve the pain for him.

Carrie, you say you're not strong but I bet you are already a lot stronger than you were just a few months ago!

Hey Girls!

Sounds like everyone is having a good day! I only got to do BM2, scrammbled eggs today. DS woke up before I got to finish:-( Im thinking about doing PH tonight but Im not sure if I have the energy. My HRM said that I burned 415 cals today, which is pretty good.
My dental office called today to remind me of my apt tomorrow at 1:15! Which means I have to get up and workout early tomorrow morning b/c I have to go to the dentist during his nap time.I hate going to the dentist!

Ameila** Good job on the workout today. I know that when I lift my bb for biceps I can't lift as heavy as I can with db's so I have to opposite problem as you.

Belinda** Compliments are nice aren't they!? Makes you want to continue with your hard work. It wasn't my DH that lost weight, it was a friend of mine. My DH only weighs 143:eek: LOL

Carrie** Have some DOMS, do ya? Did you have a good workout today?

Shannon** OMG, thats horrible news about your uncle and he is soooo young! He is gonna have a hard road ahead of him! Sounds like you had a very eventful weekend.

Laine** Sounds like you had a good workout today! I reminded my friend today that you don't cut people out of your life when you are going through something... thats when you need your friends!

Stacy** Glad to hear your starting to feel better. You will be back to working out in no time!

Kristine** When does DH return? I bet you are ready for a break!

Cheryl** HOpe all is well!!!

I will be back in the morning. I hope my post made sense, there are to many people around...TALKING TO ME and I can't concentrate!

Lori

:)
 
Its me again! Just wanted to report that I just finished 4DS UB work. I know I said I wasn't going to go heavy this week but I felt like I needed a good workout!

See you in the morn'in!

Lori:)
 
Hi, everyone!

Crazy day - took me until bedtime to finally post. I did read everyone's posts though.

Belinda! Great workout! Fun lunch with DH - glad he's treating you right. I'd have eaten that lobster too. Yum!

Lori, so glad your friend is back in your life! So sorry she had to go through all that she did, but what a relief to find out that it had nothing to do with you and that it all has happy endings. YAYY!

Amelia, tomorrow is another day. And you are so loving that scale comming down I know you won't let anything get in your way!!! It's okay, girl!

Lainie, glad you're only coughing a little.

Stacey, Carrie - hello!

I did the treadmill 1 hour this morning. That's what I'm doing most mornings lately. The program is going really, really well. I AM SO GLAD!

Lori, I know you'll lose those few pounds again if you want to.

Have a great night, everyone!

Cheryl
