Good morning,

Yesterday we picked DD up from Munich. Glad she is here!

Lori, now one knows why her BF broke it off? Alesia (DD) is so confused, poor thing. And yes, it's the same guy who wanted to move in in our house and planned a futrur with her just a few weeks ago. As a mom a tell her stay away from him he is no good!

Not sure if I will do cardio or do a FB workout today?

Have a great Monday,everyone!

Morning

Lori, congrats on your race...you did FANTASTIC girl! How are you feeling this morning?

Belinda-So your DD's BF brokeup with her without any explaination? What a jerk, maybe its for the best. How long were they together? Glad to hear she is with you...nothing like being with your mom when your down

Hey to everyone that follows. I plan on doing a CC on the TM later this morning...DH fell asleep early last night so he won't be sleeping all day today,yay!

Good morning,

Belinda: That is really weird about DD's boyfriend. You don't plan a future and then break up like that. Makes me wonder if he was using her so his family could move in. The whole thing is just beyond weird. We're all rooting for her. I hope she can bounce back soon being with you. How is your health by the way? Sinuses and back doing OK?

Lori: That is an awesome time. And your placing is awesome! I am so impressed! Hope you are feeling OK today post race and with the cold coming on.

Amelia: You results (weigh in) are incredible. I am so excited for you! On Thursday my parents leave and I am going to refocus my energies on loosing these last 20 pounds that I have not been loosing for a year and a half. I just can't do it with visitors. Time to workout and clean eating are just so hard to do in that case. If you could post your calorie rotation again, that would be cool.

I did Step Blast yesterday. My throat is still bothering me from that cold I had a couple weeks ago which is getting on my nerves but that's OK. I'll have to keep choosing wo that don't make me huff and puff too much for a bit more. DS' Bday was fun yesterday. The cake was awesome: the green monster from Monster's Inc. and it had a little microphone that made a burping sound if you pressed on it. I'll try to post a picture later if I remember. I can't wait to reclaim my workout schedule and time. My parents have been very helpful with the kids and the house, but it's not the same because I still have to entertain. My dad complains about not seeing me because I am always going to the basement. So I'll do short ones until they leave and refocus then.

Have a good day everybody.

Helene

Good Morning.....

from the crippled girl Yep....not as bad as last year but I am taking the steps one at a time again. And the calve that was crapping up yesterday is super sore today Gonna be a rough couple of days. And the stupid cold came fast and furious! Ugh!

So yesterdays scoop was as follows. It was windy and cold but we kept warm by staying stood behind the buses before the race started and jumping up and down I guess you could say it was a small warm up. I didn't eat a whole lot before the run. I just couldn't get it down. I ate a banana, my drink, my coffee and some sharkies (energy candy) but looking back now, I should have suffered down 1/2 a bagel as well. The first hill is 1.5 kms long and we were only 3-4 mins into the run, the next hill was 3 kms long, just when you think that one is over, there is another little hill after a tiny flat. At the 16 km mark I was fading. Not sure if it was the lack of sleep, lack of food or this bug that was in my system. About 2 kms from the finish line my right calve started to cramp up so I had to walk, but everyone is walking at this point anyway. So I walked and ran when I could. I was 30 sec slower then last year. When I got time last night I looked through the list to check out peoples time who had did it last year and I could only find one guy who did it a few secs faster. Everyone else was slower, some by 7 mins. So I should probably be happy that I was only off by 30 secs! The winning this time was off by 8 mins and the womens winning time was off by 9.

I am very sore today. Im thinking I will do a tough UB workout though. I need to get my head wrapped around a rotation now that the race is over. If I decide to do a marathon this spring, I won't make up my mind until Christmas time.

I did a nice bit of shopping yesterday BUt all Christmas gifts. I feel like I have a good dent put in my shopping now.

Belinda** I even feel bad for DD! I remember what that feels like! When I was 15 DD's dad broke up with me and I was devasted! LOL Young love! hehe! Im sure she won't have any trouble finding someone new b/c she is a beauty! HE will be kicking himself later!

Ameila** Can you do a CC workout for me today?? hehe! Cause there is no running for this gal. Im not as sore as last year though so I am hoping it will be eased up by tomorrow.

Helene** Your dad is funny! Mine sooooo does not care about seeing me! LOL Not that he doesn't like me but he is in his own little bubble and when he is here all he does is flick through the channels and fall asleep with the remote in his hand. I don't even really like leaving DS home with him...when he SLEEPING...b/c if he woke up he wouldn't have a clue what to do with him or even hear him for that matter.

Alright...I will shut up now!

BBL!
Lori

Hey! right now im eating 1600 a day (monday-friday) and saturday and sunday I allow a little more(around 2000 a day)

When i was calorie cycling it looked like this: two days @ 1400, 4 days @ 1600 and 1 day @ 2000. I Quit because i started having the urge to binge later in the week(which has always been a problem for me), so i decided to eat a little more on saturday+sunday, listening to my body, so far its helping.

Thanks Helened, my weightloss is suprising me too,LOL. I completely understand what you mean... Ive been in a weightloss rut f-o-r-e-v-e-r (the girls on here have heard me whining about my weight for yrs now)! You can do this!!!! My diet isn't 100% clean(can't kick artificial sweetners) but its getting better,LOL

Have a good day

Good Morning Ladies....

Not such a great weekend here.....started off with Friday having to leave work to meet my parent's at the docs for mom to have an emergency MRI on her brain......*sigh*.......and what they found wasn't good, but not the be all end all. So to make a long story short, it's radiation time again......starting tomorrow. I almost cancelled my trip, but she got upset with me, so I'm still going. Even though the excitement is all but gone.

I don't even feel like working out...i'm so sick of working overtime, and having it questioned as to why I left work for 2 1/2 hours....my boss can bite me....I'm just in such a pissy mood altogether. All I feel like doing is sleeping.........ok I"ll stop being depressed now. I have to do laundry today and clean the house and pack.....etc..... probably bbl for personals.

Hi girls

This morning I did MIC and took the dogs for a walk. DD wants to do some yoga later and another dog walk. LOL!

Amelia, that is exactly what DD’s BF did! In my eyes he is a big jerk! Have fun with CC later. Congrats on your eating.

Helene, they whole thing is weird. At least Alesia slept the entire night, she is resting a lot with is good. I hope she will pounce back soon. Thanks for asking about my health! I made an appointment with the PT today, she will see me in the morning. I think my sinus is getting better. Sorry to hear about your throat. Hope you feel better soon. Nice job on SB yesterday. LOL about your dad! So he doesn’t like you in the basement? Enjoy your wo in the basement today. Happy birthday to DS!

Lori, excellent job on your race yesterday. You need to rest today!

Iris, (((HUGS)) hope you day is getting better! Take it easy, today and relax!

Hi to everyone that follows!

 

[helened]

Quick Lunchtime checkin.....

Iris: I am so sorry to read all you are going through. Stay strong and try to enjoy yourself in Daytona. It sounds like that's what your mom wants you to do. We're here to help you with any motivation that you would like when the time comes. But I think cutting yourself some slack is the right thing to do.

Belinda: I remember my young heartbreaks too. All I can say, is that I am glad all that is behind me. I was always too tender hearted. It's great that you are so close to your DD. Still can't believe the BF. Unbelievable how callous young men can be! Glad to see that you are trying to take care of yourself as well. Enjoy walking the dogs again, I am sure they will!

Amelia: I am liking the sound of 1600 and 2000. Think I'll try it. I always have problems with days where I go completly off the wagon so to speak. I think with the workouts I get in, If I stick to these numbers, I should see some results. I can't get away from the artificial sweeteners either by the way. I think I might post my cals and my workouts. Might help me stay on track. Especially since I log my food throughout the day but don't always do it at night. What worked best is when I log the food before I eat it too. I know what I need to do. I'm probably an expert at nutrition by now. The truth is in the getting it done......

Lori: Sounds like you need a good soak in a nice warm bath. Any chance you can get one? That sounds like one tough race! I once did a mountain half marathon when I was younger. Very tough. Very hilly and I couldn't walk very well the next day. Thankfully overall the race was downhill or I'm not sure I would have finished. But I still have my t-shirt from it 15 years later LOL!

Hi to everybody else

Helened-Thats exactly what i do....log my food before i eat it. I usually plan my meals in the morning and write it all down with supper being my last meal of the day(around 6pm) I even went out and bought some 'reward stickers' to stick to my diet journals..LOL. Good luck..and let me know how your doing!

Belinda-Glad to hear you sinuses are getting better! My dh has a sinus infection now...i knew he would sooner or later.

I finished CCV4 earlier...it was a good workout. 43mins and 390 burned. My stomach has been growling all day,ugh...its going to be one of those days.

Well the sun is shinning and its in the 60's outside...think i will tackle the yard with the lawn mower have a good day girls...
