Commit to get Fit and Lean in December

Hi everyone. Yesterday was a rest day for me. Today I did AB premix (single intervals 1-10) and then I added CF, blue band tabata premix. My legs are fried, lol. I also walked Baxter for 40 minutes today. Tomorrow is DS's basketball game, and then my neighbor is having a ladies' night party at her house and she invited me, so I am going to that. I am thinking tomorrow will be another rest day, but I am ok with it, because I will have worked out five days this week and the workouts were pretty intense. Saturday will be a total body workout and then Sunday will be a longer cardio day.

Next week is my last week of school before Christmas break. It cannot get here fast enough, lol. I need a break in the worst way.

Deb- they are calling for 2-6 inches of snow this weekend. DH is taking off for the conferences as well so we are planning on power shopping that day. We may go out for breakfast too. We will see.

Belinda- I hope you are feeling better.

Cookie- I am so with you on needing the break. It has been a crazy, tiring year so far.

Amelia- how are you doing? Did you get a workout in the other day?

Off to relax

Kristin
 
Hi,

I didn't get a workout in today, worked late so I can take care of a bunch of things tomorrow, maybe just one store. We have a dinner tomorrow night with friends too!

Belinda - How are you feeling?

Kristin - Power shopping sounds like a great idea & you should get a good part of the day to get it done before the snow is bad. Great job with your workouts:)

Cookie - I can't wait to get back to yoga. I can't believe how the holidays are almost here:eek:

Waves hi to Amelia & Melissa

Goodnight:)
 
'Morning!
Belinda, hope you're feeling better. And that you are resting!
Amelia, co-workers aren't living up to the co-part. I'm challenged repeatedly by one of them.
Kristin, have fun tonight. You have a lot on your plate. Five days of tough workouts deserves a rest. Work is wearing me right out.
Deb, I can't believe Christmas is just about here! Will you be going away to Florida to recover? What kind of gym did you end up joining?
DWP hiit this morning. Wow, did that wake me up.
Cookie
 
Hey girls,

Today was my day off and i got some errands done. Did some grocery shopping, paid some online bills and ran to the library...i got a new book to read - which always excites me :D I don't remember the name but if its good I will share..

No workout, just not up to it right now. Im going to concentrate on my eating for now. I may get in a walk after supper :)
 
Good evening,

Thanks for all good well wished and concern. Means a lot to me. Sorry for not checking in yesterday. I was in tears all day long. Ended up going back to the ENT today. Couldn't take the pain anymore! I am having sharp pain in my ear since they put in the wick/tubing Wednesday. I was in tears all day yesterday, the meds the doc gave me didn't work at all. I felt like somebody is stabbing me in my ear with an ice pick all day and all night long. I am running a fever every day. The wick made my ear worst, the ENT doc had to take it out. I didn't released he put a tube in my ear on Wednesday too.DH told me what he pulled out off my ear today. I do feel a little better since the tube/wick is out, but still have those sharp pain/swelling. He gave me very strong pain meds, haven't slept through the night since my vacation:mad: I hope I get a good night sleep tonight. Putting my head on the pillow hurts, laying on my right side hurts.

I will rest this week, hopefully I am good as new on Monday. Take care, everyone. Good job on your workouts. I will check in tomorrow.
 
Hi,

I'm not sure how I am going to get it all done:( My Uncle passed & we may try and go to the funeral tomorrow on Long Island depending on the snow. Unfortunately I have to put workouts on the backburner but will try to be better with my eats.

Belinda - Sorry to hear about your ear, you been through so much. Hopefully the worse is over & your on your way to healing.

Kristin - How did the shopping go? The weather didn't start getting bad here till around 4PM.

Amelia - Your right if I can't workout I can at least try and eat better;) I'm looking forward to curling up with a good book after the holidays.

Cookie - We are actually thinking about going to Florida in February as part of our Christmas gifts. After 3 snow storms the past couple of weeks it does sound good. I ended up joining the YMCA & buying a book of passes for hot yoga. Did you have a hockey game this weekend?

Melissa - You must be happy that winter break is almost here.

Goodnight:)
 
Morning girls,

This week has been a bust with workouts. Im not going to stress over it though...perhaps on my days off I can do something.

Debbie-So sorry to hear about your uncle passing. My condolences to you and your family ((hugs))

Belinda- Oh no! How awful about your ear, I hope the new meds helped you sleep. Keep us updated and sending you healing vibes and ((hugs)). So sorry your having to go through that :(

Cookie-Great job with your workout the other day.

Hello to Kristin and Melissa!

I've got to get ready for work...have a great Sunday:)
 
Hi all. Yesterday's workout was HS. Not sure what I feel like doing today. It's a toss up between step and CSS. I'll let you know which one wins later.

Last night we went to our friends' house and hung out. It was fun. Today my parents are coming over for dinner. I texted my sister to invite her this morning but she never responded. I should have known better.

Anyway. . .

Deb- So sorry to hear about your uncle. Where on LI will you be today? The snow turned to Rain overnight and washed away the snow. It is like it never happened, lol. I didn't shop yesterday. I'm taking Wednesday off for my kids' parent/teacher conferences and I plan on doing the majority of my shopping then.

Cookie- five days to go ;). I can't wait yo get to Friday!

Amelia- what book did you get?

Belinda- it sounds awful. I hope you are feeling better and that the pain subsided.

Ok, off yo straighten up the house and then work out.

Bbl,
Kristin
 
CSS won today. I did the express premix 1-4 rounds, and then the bonus step and weights segment. Gotta shower and get ready for my parents now. My sister eventually answered and said she already had plans, whatever. I feel like an idiot for inviting her in the first place, should have known better. Why do I listen to my DH?

Kristin
 
Hi,

We went to my Uncle's funeral it was sad my Mom took it really bad, but it was really nice to see my relatives. Also it's really great that they put picture boards & displays together it lightens things up when you see all the good times.

Ugh, maybe more snow on Tuesday:( & it's not even winter yet:confused: Just heard on the news about a shooting in a mall I need to go to tomorrow:(

Belinda - I hope your feeling better today (((hugs)))

Kristen - The funeral was in Sayerville & the great part was we didn't hit any traffic! I think you did the right thing inviting your sister, you take the high road. You'll probably get more done on a weekday instead of a weekend.

Amelia - I can't wait to get back to workouts but I'm not going to stress about it either.

Hi to Cookie & Melissa

Goodnight:)
 
Good morning,

Thanks girls, I am doing a little better. Still have some swelling/pain in my ear. The meds made me very sick on Saturday, had to stop taking it:( Wednesday I have an appointment at the ENT clinic.

So Saturday we got an message from my friend in El Paso, that her son passed on Dec 11:( We are in shock. He was hospitalized with a high fever? So sad!

Debbie - I am so sorry for your loss (((HUGS))) I will keep your mom in my thoughts and prayers!!

Kirstin - Friday is almost here. Hang in there. Good job keeping up with your workouts. You are doing great.

Amelia - good for you for not stressing over your workouts. Do what you can. It's hard fitting everything in around this time of the year.

Where is Cookie? Hope all is well!

I will be back later. Have a great Monday, everyone.
 
Good evening,

I just finished D1 again:) Let's see how far I am getting with STS this week:p

I will be back in the morning. Good night.
 
Hi,

No workout but my back is hurting:confused: Not sure what tomorrow will be like with the weather but not too happy about it:( Thanks for your thoughts for my Uncle.

Belinda - A good sign that you were able to get a workout in:) So sorry about your friends son, so sad:(

Waves hi to everyone

Goodnight:)
 
'Morning!
Belinda, I sure hope that you're feeling relief and better! Wow, you have had a lot.
Amelia, I'm with you in that my workouts have not been happening the past few days. Well, I've gotten in steps and some stretching, but the real issue is not feeling well and then eating bad. When will we learn we can't outrun a bad diet? Or is it only me?
Kristin, I cannot wait for break. Don't you feel like you're drowning with paperwork and things to do?
Deb, I'm so sorry to hear about your uncle. Your poor mom.
Not much to report in workouts. Drowning, just drowning with work. Drama with son. Stress eating. Today's a new day and already I'm running late.
Cookie
 
Good afternoon,

STS D2 and extended stretch is done! I don't think I have time tomorrow do to this one, so I did it today instead.

Cookie - sorry you having some drama with your son (((HUGS)))
I will be back in the morning. Good night.

Debbie - OH NO! How is your back feeling today? Maybe a light stretch will help or rest for a few day's? Thanks about my friend's son. So sad!

Kirstin and Amelia - how are you doing? Check in:p

Good night ladies! I will be back in the morning.
 
Hi,

I almost didn't go to work today and regret that I went. The roads were really bad, snow was supposed to end at 2PM but instead started getting worse:confused: So much traffic & accidents but the slower speeds prevented it from being worse. All I did was day dream about summertime & vowed never to complain about a hot & humid day:)

Belinda - Thanks for keeping up the workouts for the rest of us;) My back feels so much better, I think it is just tight from not working out.

Kristin - I was wondering if the LIE being shut down was near you?

Cookie - I can't wait to get back to normal! I'm also trying to remind myself each day is a new day.

Waves hi to Amelia & Melissa

Goodnight:)
 
Good morning,

Hoping to get a workout in before I leave for my ENT appointment? I am gonna try to get one in before I leave:)

Debbie - sorry about the road conditions yesterday. Doesn't sound like fun. Glad you save at home. That's funny about you day dreaming about summer:eek: So glad to hear your back is doing better. Please, be careful!

Waving Hi to Cookie, Kirstin and Amelia! Hope you get a change to check in soon. Miss you all.


I will be back later. Happy Hump Day!
 
Hi,

Wow, one more week till Christmas Day! The stores were packed today but I made it & my displays looked good for about a minute:eek: No workout but lots of walking.

Belinda - I hope everything went well with your ENT appt. Are you on meds for a couple of weeks? Are they helping?

Waves hi to everyone

Goodnight:)
 
Morning girls,

Quick check in to let you guys know im still alive and stuff :eek:

No workouts to report, just trying to be thoughtful about my food choices. And yesterday wasn't a good example ( DD's B-day with cake :eek:) Today will be a lot better.

So my book came yesterday and I skimmed it last night ( The Body Fat Solution by Tom Venuto). I can't wait to read it and hopefully get motivated to start losing weight.

I asked my mom to join a gym with me ( the one with all those classes, its about 10 minutes from my house) and of course she said she'd 'think about it' and that's a 'no' :mad: I wish I had someone to join with so It wasn't so awkward :confused:

anyways, gotta get ready for work. GOOD JOB to those getting in their workouts. Its hard this time of year. I'm in hibernation mode right now, lol.

Hello to everybody!
 
'Morning!
Belinda, I'm sorry about your friend. That's horrible. How did it go at the dr's yesterday?
Amelia, I can't believe I'm the one who started this month's thread! I've been the worst. Work is just overwhelming me. Its hard to go somewhere on your own but perhaps you'll make some friendships there.
Kristin, how was your conf and date day?
Deb, it took me four hours to get home on Tuesday! TG I had used the restroom before leaving and purposefully did not consume much all day. Even saw a cop car do a 360. The roads were just so icy. I'm counting it as a workout! I'm with you not going to complain about heat, but not ready to take the oath for humidity yet.
