Commit to get fit and lean for Wednesday, June 15!

Good Morning Ladies

I'm not sure if I will work out today. I woke up way late. :mad: I had no desire to get out of bed...ughhhh. More back and forth with DC yesterday. It's like beating my head up against the wall.

I packed the car up with stuff to bring down to my parents...went to work for a little while, then headed down to unpack. When I got back to work ...DB was there. :confused: In the middle of the afternoon....*sigh*....BUT....I wasn't even in the door yet and he was smiling and waved at me. :confused: He actually came up and talked to me, and ANSWERED the question I had asked him last night before I left. I think he "knew" he was short with me.

I was supposed to do Legs (again!) today. Yesterday I did Intenstiy (Step Premix) for the first time...So much fun!!!!! And so hard!!!! I sweat Buckets!!! My legs can't take anymore...lol

Belinda- Have a great workout today!

Lori- I've never seen the Vezna I don't think. I have a Camry...I do like Toyota's a lot!!! That car has lasted me a loonnggg time.

Melissa- LOL @ your mom saying her hair was a mess...too funny!! So how'd it go?? I'm sure you'll share!! ;) One of these days I'll come downstate for a visit!

Deb- Nice run yesterday! Omg I felt the same way yesterday...very hungry!! I just kept snacking...*sigh* . Is it the moon?? lol

Ok have a great day ladies....
 
I forgot to mention, our house in El Paso is under contract, we are still waiting for closing...making sure everything is working out.

We will go to New York city next week!!

Iris - enjoy your workout today.

Happy Hump Day!
 
Good Morning:)

I woke up early'ish and went for my run before DH went to work. I felt fine while I was running but wanted to throw up when I stopped. Go figure! Coffee is kind of out of the picture now. I brewed a cup yesterday and again today and it just isn't going down. So then I am kind of lazy most of the morning:eek: Ugh! I guess I just have to wait until the addiction is kicked and then I will be able to move freely:rolleyes:

I have to say, this is the weirdest pregnancy I have ever had. There is no consistency to it. One day I feel prefect, then the next like *hit! I felt like a million bucks Mon night. I wasn't tired and DD and I played wii. I woke up yesterday feeling good and by lunch time I felt awful and it pretty much stuck with me for the rest of the day. I don't feel the best right now but I will survive. I think I was so set on having a baby when I was pregnant with DS , that I didn't care what came my way. Because this one wasn't planned, I kind of feel like "is the end near"! I think its going to be the longest pregnancy EV-ER! Once I get pass this ickiness I will be o.k. Not only that, it appears that I am working all of my shifts in July month:confused: I don't know how they keep getting passed back to me:mad: They aren't mine to pass back as far as I am concerned! So just when I will probably be at my max ickiness and tired...I will be working more:mad:

Belinda** Sounds like you are enjoying your trip!!!

Iris** Men are all idiots (esp when they get you pregnant without permission!) LOL If he knew he was short with you then he should have apologized. DH was trying to convince me to get a 2nd hand car last night...I probably should really.

I am thinking of tackling disc 2 shortly. DS is gone to the sitters for the day and I really should get my books out. Seems like its been forever since I opened them. I haven't figured out how to waddle in self pity and study at the same time!

Lori:)
 
Hey everyone......

Iris: I hope you figure out a solution to this mess soon. It's not good for you. Hopefully you can see clearly once you are completely moved and that is out of the way. Glad you finally tried intensity. I love the step portion.

Deb: Nice going on the TM. I read somewhere that the TM burns more cals (10-12 /min). Maybe I should take up a running routine.

Belinda: I'll see you at the RT. NYC is 2 1/2 hrs from me. I didn't realize you were 5 1". Now I understand why you can jump around in your RV.

Melissa: If this helps, I got GS after STS and I can't get into it. I would rather pull out STS discs that I like. They are good, but I just haven't developed a taste for them. I think if I'd had them before STS for a while then I would have gone to them all the time. Waiting for the mom/DA meeting update here too. :)

Lori: Well it's going to be fun being around you at work :p Maybe for once they will leave you alone. I say put on a show and they'll stay out of your hair. From what I understand, pregnancies are weird that way and each one seems to be different. Don't know why. How is your eating going? DH and I are thinking of trading in our gas guzzler for a second hand accord. The Venza is nice though. I've seen it. :D

Kristin: Last week :D:D:D:D:D:D You're almost there. :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: I keep thinking of you having to teach kids in awful heat. :confused::confused::confused::confused::confused: You and Deb are the celebrity sighting ladies lately.

Trish, Cookie and Amelia: Hello

As for me...... I guess I'll fess up. I am really struggling lately. I am supper tired. Dragging is about right. I worked out twice in the past 10 days and my eating is ..... well: awful. I slept a full night last night and still woke up tired. Tomorrow night I have a meeting until close to midnight. I think I am burned out. I don't know how some of you do it. I thought it was TOM but that is passed too. I would just like to have a nice consistent schedule AND be able to stick to it. I got home at 8PM from errands after work last night and had ice cream for dinner :confused:

OK, that's it for me. I'm hopping I'll get a short workout in tonight.....but I don't know with the way things have been going.
 
Morning

Since I don't do donuts anymore I'm staying up later at night...and my mornings are becoming shorter:confused: I've thought about setting the alarm clock maybe a few times a week and getting up to walk the dog so I can get in a workout before my busy starts.

Last week I worked 37hours. This week im working 28hours, not as bad so I should be able to get in more workouts. Im still adjusting to working(even though is been about 4months:rolleyes:). Trying to juggle everything is difficult :confused: Today I've got a cardio planned..may do a Cathe circuit, like LIC ?

STill not sure what rotation im doing...i had some really good results with Chalean. Call me crazy-but I'm seriously thinking about doing it again:eek: I just wished the workouts had that fun factor like Cathe's do. :confused::eek::eek: Tomorrow is the last day of my recovery week so I've got to figure this out quick.

Helene-pls don't be so hard on yourself, trying to juggle everything is so challenging sometimes. ((((Hugs))) you will get your groove back, meanwhile take it easy and get in a workout when you feel like it.

Iris-(((hugs))) I hope everything settle's for you soon, seems like you have been going through a lot lately...more hugs girl. Hang in there...

Lori-I've been told that every pregnancy is different, and after being prego with my son i believe it:eek: Great job on your workouts!

Belinda-Glad to hear your house in El Paso is under contract..thats fabulous!! Have a great workout today!

Hi ladies! Today's workout was the original Imax. Tonight I'm going to a fundraising event for battered women that my friend is throwing at her salon. They have tarot card readings so we are gonna give that a whirl :eek: Then the girls and I are going out to dinner.

DA only got to meet my mom for 10 min yesterday; we were going out to eat w/ my bro so they didn't have much time to talk. Tomorrow he is coming over for dinner though, so there will be plenty of time to chat :confused::eek: I think my bro really likes him; they exchanged #s yesterday so I'm taking that as a good sign. He is a really important part of my life so it's huge for me that he gets along with whoever I am dating.

Deb, yeah I thought the same thing about GS. I will prob pass on that and stick with STS and the weight workouts I already have.

Iris, glad to hear DB came around! He prob didn't even realize he was being stupid the other night ;) Intensity is a great one! You def need to come downstate!

Belinda, nice job on the WO! What are you guys gonna do in the city?

Lori, oh no, no coffee?! Can you stomach tea? That really sucks about your work schedule. Good luck with the studying!

Helene, sorry to hear you have been feeling down. Maybe you're stressed and burned out from working? Hope it gets better for you. {{HUGS!!!!}}

Amelia, is there any way you can create a rotation that mixes Chalean and Cathe?

Have a great day girls!
 
Hello everyone! I graded 150 final exams today. My eyes were hurting, lol. They did very well though, so I can pat myself on the back, :D. O:Dut of 150 students only 3 failed, another 3 were borderline failing with a 65-69 average. Their writing improved greatly across the board. Hopefully they won't forget everything by September, lol. So tomorrow I will be cleaning out my classroom, sorting through files, throwing things out, etc. Then some of my friends and I are going out to lunch for my birthday. I plan on having chocolate lava cake for dessert, mmmm, mmmm, mmmm!

Today's workout was M1 D5, back and triceps. I am definitely stronger this time around. I remember not being able to do all of the crossbody extensions with 10# last time, and I banged them out, struggling with just the last three. Last time I think I was able to do 8 or 9. Cannot wait for Meso 2 though, that was my favorite!

Melissa- have fun at the fundraiser. What a great cause to support. So many women suffer from domestic violence in this country, it is disgusting.

Amelia- being a working mom is tough, and it never gets easy. Things always come up. Look at what you are dealing with lately with your poor MIL. Life happens, and we have to keep plugging along. Keep doing what you can, you'll get through it all :).

Helene- I actually have one more week. We are not done until the 24th. Next week I am chaperoning the Great Adventure trip. It is a long day, but it will at least break up the last week about.

Lori- Every pregnancy is different isn't that what "they" say? Lol. Hang in there.

Belinda- nice job on B&G. What do you plan on doing in the city?

Iris- Intensity is awesome! I am sorry you are under all this stress lately. I agree, once you move it might make things more bearable.

Deb- I think IMAX 3 is my new favorite.

Hi to Trish and Cookie!

Kristin
 
Hi,

Before work I took a spin class. I also picked up some more things for DH for Father's Day. The stores were so busy today.

Belinda - Wow, on selling your house so fast in this market!! It must be such a relief for you & DH.

Iris - You earned your rest day. I'm happy that DB came around it's nice to leave on good terms.

Lori - How about tea? There are so many flavored ones out there now. Otherwise you might have to get your caffeine boost from chocolate:eek:

Helene - It's best to listen to your body and get the rest you need. Wondering if your low on B vitamins. Hopefully running does change things up, otherwise I might need a new wardrobe:(

Amelia - It seems like your full-time. I think you should repeat Charlean especially since you found it worked in your schedule.

Melissa - Hmmm, tarot card reading wondering if they'll mention DA? Happy to hear things are going well with your family & DA.

Kristin - 150 exams:eek::eek::eek: The only good thing is your days away from finishing another year:) Yum on the chocolate lava cake, wishing it were my birthday. Happy Birthday!

Hi Cookie & Trish

Goodnight:)
