Commit to get Fit and Lean in December

Hi,

I did Lean Legs today. I needed to do some work this morning at my local Kohl's it was packed TG I don't have to normally work weekends:) I need to get ready DH & I are going to dinner tonight. I wanted to start decorating maybe tomorrow:confused:

Belinda - Your trip sounds awesome & the rest week was well deserved! It's funny how time flies on vacation:)

Amelia - For some reason I always think you have great weather because you are South.

Cookie - That's great that the weather worked in your favor today. I remember the time you went to the Christmas party on your snow mobile;) Funny I was just thinking this is my last sauce so next week I will need to make it along with extra for Christmas.

Waves hi to Kristin & Melissa

Have a great weekend:)
 
'Morning!
Belinda, welcome back! You were missed, but excited you had such a blast.
Amelia, I was wondering if you got any of the cold temps? You've been really consistent w/getting your workouts in.
Kristin, how are you doing?
Deb, that's right about the snowmobile trip! TG its not like that now but that was memorable. Don't remember you having to work on a Saturday before. How was your date last night?
Well, dh moved our his beer collection, boxes of papers, and we went thru artwork from when the kids were little, with the end result that we actually do have a walk-in closet in our bedroom! It's been bugging me for a while so it feels like a relief. There's still more in there for him to go thru, but boy what a difference! One side was neat, and the other was the opposite, with boxes on the floor. Anyway, that ended up being the wo of yesterday. Our team won the hockey game, so I had to treat to dinner. If they lose, he treats. And, yes, we have joint accounts. Today is checking on my mom who isn't doing well, groceries, hopefully a dog walk, cooking, and more yoga.

Morning girls,

ugh, another cold dreary-cloudy day here in GA. Its been over a week :(

Yesterday ended up being a rest day. My hubby is home today and he's talking about going to town for some shopping so I'm going to try and get in a good workout before we go. He doesn't like to shop so when he suggest it im thrilled :eek::eek: LOL

I made lasagna for supper yesterday and dessert was peach cobbler and it all turned out great, I'm not your everyday Betty Crocker so I was proud of myself :D

Belinda-I didn't know you went to Antigua? Glad you had a great time :) Sounds like a beautiful resort and :eek::eek: on all the restaurant! ^'5s on your workout during your vacation.

Cookie-Sounds like you had a very productive day yesterday! Makes me want to go through my bedroom closet...its a disaster:confused: Hope your mom is ok.

Debbie-Are you sick of the holiday music yet? I found myself tapping my foot to Wham's "last Christmas I gave you my heart" the other day. LOL :) Great job on your workouts.

Hello to Melissa & Kristin! :)
 
Good evening,

Yesterday I did a full body workout w/Stephanie Victorino. Today I did Rocking Body"Mark, Move & Groove + Disco Groove w/Shan T. Very fun workouts!

Cookie - I missed you girls too! Congratulations, glad your team won! Sounds like us with the closet:p Glad I am not the only one with a messy husband:p We also have to go through my husbands office:roll eyes: not looking forward to that one:confused:

Debbie - we had a blast on vacation. Sadly it was to short:( Hope you had fun with your dinner last night. Good job with your leg workout.

Amelia - yes, we did! It was our 30th wedding Anniversary. We had candle light dinner on the beach. It was amazing! Meet a lot of nice people too.

Waving Hi to Kirstin! Enjoy your weekend.


I will be back tomorrow. Good night, ladies!
 
So I jinxed myself. I did 5 workouts in a row and then I had 3 rest days, lol. It wasn't my fault. Wednesday we had the dog trainer and by the time she left I was beat. Then Thursday I had parent-teacher conferences at work until7, got home at 8, ate bad food (popeye's chicken, so tasty) and went to bed. Friday DH and DS had basketball and by the time they came home, 8 o'clock, I was beat. I did Circuit Blast Saturday and then last night we got the Christmas tree and we found a new tenant!!!! And. . . they are paying $75 more a month than our current tenant because they are paying the listing price! It all worked out. I will really celebrate once they sign the lease. Today we decorated the inside of the house and it was a lot of fun. I did KPC tonight. I have not done that one in a long time in its entirety. I was sweating buckets. I forgot how much fun that one is. I need to get my weight under control. Everything is tight on my lately. I think longer cardio mixed with metabolic training and one full body weight workout will work this month, if I can stick with it. Maybe not to lose right now so much, but just to prevent me from gaining even more.

I need to put the boys to bed. I promise I will be back tomorrow for personals.

Welcome back, Belinda!

Kristin
 
Hi,

I just finished up some computer work. I was too tired & sore from yesterdays workout to get another workout in. It seems the less workouts I do the more DOMS I feel:confused:

Belinda - The candlelight beach dinner sounds so romantic!

Kristin - I'm happy you found a tenant so fast. Seems like you are juggling a lot this year. KPC is my favorite love doing that dvd.

Amelia - Your dinner & dessert sounds yummy! My DH hates to go shopping so I would jump at the chance too.

Cookie - My New Year's resolution to clean closets;) at least your getting it done during a busy time of year. We had a nice dinner, the restaurants are decorated so pretty this time of year. Your team won, hopefully they are not on a streak or it will cost you LOL.

Goodnight:)
 
'Morning!
Belinda, candlelight dinner on the beach?!!! Wow, that's fantastic. How awesome. Are these new dvds?
Amelia, lasagna and peach cobbler? I think my dh just left for your house. You should be proud of yourself.
Kristin, a new tenant and one paying more?!! This group is just shocking me awake this morning. It must be fun and exciting to decorate your new house. Its hard to juggle and get things done, let alone with active children and a job outside the house. Don't be so hard on yourself.
Deb, did you get some decorating done? How are your boys doing? If the team wins, I buy; if they lose dh buys. However, even have it worked out for ties, he buys first and I buy second. I'm not going to be able to do this all season tho like he wants; I'm going to have to switch to water for no calories.
Got in an AOS kettlebell workout and lean legs & abs. Cathe sure got my heartrate up on that one, and a dog walk. Lost power right after I started cooking dinner, and it didn't come on til about 20 minutes ago. Have dr appt after work, but hope to get yoga in this evening.
Cookie
 
Good morning,

Not sure what I will do today? Deciding Maybe I will do STS today? Is anyone thinking going to the RT next year? It's really expensive this year.

Cookie - those dvds are from Beachbody. Bought them a long time ago, lot's of fun. Sorry about the power. Hate when that happens. What rotation are you doing this month?

Debbie - glad you had a great time at dinner. Love this time of the year too. Which all the lights outside. Still haven't decorated the inside of my house.

Kirstin - I am so happy you found a new tenant so fast. Even better they pay more:D I hear you on the weight gain, I need to start eating better this month. Vacation is over:(

I will be back after my workout. Happy Monday everyone.
 
Hey girls,

I just finished a 2 mile walk with leslie Sansone. I really should have pulled out a more intense workout but my theory is "its better than nothing" ;):p Im off Wednesday so I can sweat it out then. I think thats what im going to do...workout longer and harder on my off days and do something light or rest on the days I work.:) My calories are set at 1700, I decided to write down what I eat and stay off of MFP. For some reason that site distracts me :eek::confused:

Kristin- Yay on the new tentant!! Great job with KPC. We put our tree up about a week ago and decorated our house the same day. Just love all the christmas decor :) Now all we need is snow...jk ;)

Belinda- Oh wow, 30 yrs...congratulations girl!! AWesome job on yoru workouts. Are any of those on youtube?

Deb-Doms are so weird aren't they? I thought for sure I would get very sore last week when I did MM but no...no doms.

Cookie-Hope the doctors apt isn't too serious? Great job on your workout :)
 
Amelia those workouts are from Beachbody.com not on youtube. Bought them awhile back. Lots of fun! But you never know…….if you find them on youtube. Beachbody.com is checking youtube regular, once in awhile you can find a BB workout, never for a long time. Great job on your walk today. Like your plan. I don't post much, not like the others:p They are always on MFP!
 
Hello everyone! Happy Monday. I am counting down the days to vacation, lol. I am just tired and want to celebrate Christmas with my family, no more papers to grade or meetings to attend. I have nine days left. I hope I can make it. Actually, it's 8, because I have to take off on Wednesday next week for parent/teacher conferences with both of my sons' teachers. I have not even started shopping!:eek::eek:

Today's workout was Supercuts. I wasn't feeling like working out, but I stuck with it. Originally I was going to do AT, but I wasn't in the mood to do any step. I love that SC does not use the step at all.

Amelia- funny you should mention snow. . . we are getting some tomorrow. Just in time for my commute too, should be fun, lol! I love snow but only when we have snow days!

Belinda- they posted about the Jersey RT? I only saw the Chicago trip, or is that what you are talking about? I don't think I will go this year. I need to save more $$. Plus, if I spend any money, it will be on a family vacation. I'm looking at places that allow pets, lol. I've lost my mind.

Cookie- I know I shouldn't be hard on myself, but it just seems like since September I've been slacking off and some of my favorite workouts I dread now, like IMAX 2, I cannot even think of doing IMAX 2. I don't know. Maybe I need to try a new instructor. T25 has my interest, but I don't know how I would like it.

Deb- I definitely seem to have a lot going on. . . I think that is why the year is flying. I cannot believe it is going to be 2014! I am so thankful we found someone so fast. With the tenant paying the extra $75 a month, that will help me pay the taxes for that property because I don't have an escrow account for it and I pay out of pocket. The taxes are low because the houses so small. When I say low, I mean low as in Long Island low.

Okay, off to rest!

Kristin
 
Hi,

I was home really late tonight & did some cyber shopping so I'm going to come back tomorrow morning;)

Goodnight:)
 
'Morning!
Belinda, mostly doing UY yoga but mixing in some other things now and then. I'm thinking of you enjoying the beach as I look as the snow coming down.
Amelia, good plan - working out harder on your days off!
Kristin, I'm trying to give myself permission and believe in that I don't have to work out so hard. Like Amelia, I'm trying to be easier on days I have to work (go into work, as opposed to weekends where we work at home).
Deb, Hope you got in a good night's rest.
Had a hard time sleeping but then fell into a real deep sleep.
Cookie
 
Morning girls,

Today I will do cardio, not sure what yet? I have an ear infection since I am back from vacation:( I been avoiding to take antibiotics (I always have some on hand) but think I need it…..my entire side of my face/ear is swollen up( On top of everything else, it's snowing like crazy. We are covered in snow and all the government is closed, can't even go to see my doc on Fort Dietrich. Arrr…..Walter Reed is an 1:45 min away:eek:

Cookie - I wasn't expecting snow either. That a shock coming from the sunshine:( I need to look into UY, they sound interesting.

Debbie - what did you buy? I still have to do some shopping….arrr!

Kirstin - I don't like doing step lately:( Maybe because I been doing it for so many years.

I will be back to report my workout. Have a wonderful day and workout.
 
Hey guys! Today's workout was TTM, I did the no 30/20 Hiit premix. It was less than 50 minutes, but a great sweat. I've only done TTM in its entirety a few times, but I find it exhausting. I like doing the premixes.

We got snow, but not nearly what they said we would get, lol. I guess I am happy about that because the commute wasn't bad at all.

I cannot wait to get paid on Friday so I can start my Christmas shopping.

Cookie- I am trying to commit to six workouts a week, planning the week instead of the month, and doing shorter workouts (less than an hour) during my work days. I also walk the dog every day for 30-45 minutes, so I add that to it too. The weekends I am trying to do some of the older, longer workouts that I haven't done in quite some time.

Belinda- I feel for you. I can withstand the flu, strep throat, anything other than an ear infection. I hate having pain when I swallow. I wonder if yours has anything to do with the tooth problem you had right before you left for the trip?

Deb- how was your day today?

Amelia- I'm trying to stay on MFP, but not always consistent. I feel like I will have two days of decent eating and then three bad, lol.

Okay, off to rest.

Kristin
 
Hi,

I did MMA boxing today.

I thought I might be home today because of the snow, but it wasn't that bad. I'm happy I went to work because it was so quiet even though all the schools were closed. Also traffic was very light:)

Belinda - It's too early to snow it's not even winter yet:confused: Sorry you couldn't get to the Dr. today:( but hopefully tomorrow you can go. I bought my Mom a GPS and some clothes for the boys. I was thinking maybe for the NJ RT.

Kristin - I remember last year you get a hot chocolate on your Christmas shopping day it's going to be so cold the next few days. Watch the weather because I heard possible storm Saturday into Sunday. LI taxes are high but some towns are really high in NJ too:(

Cookie - I saw you did a kettlebell workout I was thinking I should dig one out this weekend. Did you have a snow day today?

Amelia - Do you keep journals from prior years of what you ate? I would journal my weight for many years but have slacked this year.

Goodnight:)
 
Morning girls,

I'm suppose to be off today but a girl couldn't work her schedule today ( she calls out all the time :mad:) so since im part time they asked me. gah :rolleyes: I'd rather be at home cleaning up this dirty house :confused:

So I ordered that Tom Venuto book Monday, can't wait to read it and hopefully get some motivation to stay on track. Im just not consistent enough right now to lose any weight. I will start a diet on Monday and by Tuesday night im in the kitchen going through the cabinets :confused:

I did get in 4 workouts last week :) only one so far this week..grrrr. I'm just so tired when I get home from work. :(

I will bb this afternoon to report a workout. I WILL workout after work.....


Oh and check out this workout series. Its by Chris Fretag, I'm thinking about getting it.

Hey girls,

No workout yesterday and today:mad: Ended up in the ER at Walter Reeds this morning. My ear is so infected, I couldn't sleep on my right side last night, swallowing food hurts and my lymph notes are the size of a golf ball.The ER doctor sent me right away to the ENT clinic. He cleaned and put a wick in my ear and checked out my sinus. I have to go back to the ENT next Wednesday.

I will try to get a workout in tomorrow:eek: I hope!

Amelia - all those workouts are on youtube;) except the 10 min bun/ab workout.
You always can sup another dvd for those:D

Debbie - everything was closed yesterday. Like the gift for your mom. I think I will wait for the NJ RT too. This one is close to a $1000 for a weekend:( That's kinda expensive.

Kirstin - I hear you on the pain, I feel the same. Unfortunately ear infections are painful. The doc cleaned my ears with a special machine, my ear is already swollen/infected….that was painful. He put a tube down my nose, it doesn't hurt(he numbs your nose first) but the stuff he sprays in your nose is awful:mad:

Hi Cookie!!!

I will be back tomorrow. Have a great day.
 
Hi,

A busy day home too late for a workout. So a customer freaked on me because she thought I was taking her picture but I was taking it of a table display:mad: At first I didn't understand what she was talking about this has never happened. I let her see the picture on my camera and she wanted to take it:confused: I needed to super zoom in and all you saw in the left hand corner were from her eyes up with the table blocking the rest of her. I deleted it but wasn't very nice to her & told her she was paranoid. (Sorry needed to vent:)).

Belinda - I did always wanted to go to Chicago but don't have much time to think it thru. Sorry you had to go to the ER hope your feeling better.

Amelia - I have that book somewhere (had DH print it out for me one Christmas) but don't remember anything about it:confused: I wonder if it's different from the e-book because it is one big book.

Waves hi to everyone

Goodnight:)
 
'Morning!
Belinda,how are you doing now? That's scary that you had to go to the ER but glad you did. Rest is not a four-letter word.
Amelia, I have that book also and should reread it for motivation. I need to get my eating more under control. Stress eating is my downfall.
Kristin, two more days and then five more days! I am so in need of this break.
Deb, that lady was not only paranoid but rude! Doesn't your head spin with the craziness? Hope you get some yoga in to relax and destress you.
Didn't realize I never checked into late last night. No snow day for us up here. Yesterday did a Bob Harper cardio shred dvd that I had never even opened. It was ok but it sure doesn't match Cathe's production or technique. Today finished up lean legs and abs and did UY. Had to start super early due to an early mtg.
