Commit to get Fit and Lean...MAY 23rd

[gidget1978]

Good Morning

Im up pretty early. Couldn't really sleep. I fell asleep just fine but woke up about 3:30 and couldn't get back to sleep. And now its almost 6 and I am ready to start my day. Its a holiday here today so I shouldn't have a manager under my feet Hopefully I will get some reading done at work.

We had a good weekend. We weren't up as late as I thought on Sat night b/c this crowd is a bunch of night owls. Yesterday we drove back, picked DS up and went back to the cabin again and didn't get home until 10 last night. Of course when we came back midafternoon to pick DS up, I did 50 mins of cardio.

Alright.....so here it is......I don't know how else to say this then to spit it out....I'm expecting again. I was gonna put a face next to that but I don't know which one to use to be honest. As if thinking it last month wasn't bad enough...you would think I would have taken some precautions this month. I took a test yesterday afternoon, just b/c I had it here. One line was faint and the other bright but they were both there. We picked up another one so I could take it today. I woke up at 3:30 b/c I needed to pee and thought WTH...just as well. Sure enough. I have mixed emotions about it but DH is beaming from ear to ear. I just think about trying to manage 3 kids. Trying to manage a baby, while trying to help DS catch up as much as we can. We were almost free from child care, now I'm back there again. I only work PT, what kind of unemployment will I get while I'm off of work. I def have to finish my course. Now we don't have a spare bedroom in our house. Should I even buy a car now or a van? Will I hate the smell of coffee this time and the look of salads? When should we tell people? Should I still do the HM? There goes shopping! Oh...and then there is the sick,tired and fat part. The three things I hate the least. Anything you could possibly think of is going through my brain. A BABY??? AGAIN?? :s There...there is the face! All in all, I am sure I will be happy in a few days. I am just not thrilled right now b/c I know how gross I'm going to feel in just a couple of weeks. I love being able to go,go,go....now I'm gonna want to nap, nap,nap!

Anyway....this time it will be different. I am going to stay active instead of sitting on my behind and gaining 50 lbs. And I am still considering doing the half but just doing it comfortably. My period would have only been a week late when it was time for the HM anyway.....some people probably are and don't even know it! LOL And I wanted to spend some money at lulu sooooo bad!

So, today's workout is a run outside I think. I was going to get on the TM but its a beautiful day. I have a feeling its cold though b/c there is frost on the ground. Hopefully I will get time for some weight before or after the run.

Iris** I am sure you will find the perfect dress! Now I am really going to be living through you. No shows for me anytime soon

Melissa** That's awesome news! You must like this guy. Every women loves a nice big kitchen, Lord knows I do. Thankfully I have one (not with surround sound though) but sometimes there still isn't enough room.

Helene** Nice workout!!

I only had time to read yesterday's post. I may dig deeper today...depending on how much time I have! I could be on the phone off and on.

Lori: just had to check in b4 work. WOW congratulations!!!!!!!! I look forward to seeing all your posts and follow you along. So glad it's for you! But I understand too. I think I would feel the exact same way you do. You are right, couldn't choose a face then, then would all apply. Ok, big hugs.

Gotta jet!

Hey Girls

Been at work for a while but had to make a couple of phone calls, ya know? My mom guessed b/c she is a freak like that but she didn't believe me after I told her it was true. Now I need to call my running partner and see what her thoughts are on the HM. My sister thinks I shouldn't do it. And there is no point in going if I can't run. Its the only time I haven't bought insurance for canceling a flight....go figure!

My workout was 10k outside and 4DS S,B,T. I also did abs before I went for my run. Hoping to be able to keep this up to a certain level. And I hope the stupid summer heat don't kill me Ok...seriously! I need a f'ing CRYING face! Why is there no CRYING FAAAACE!????

Helene** Thank you for your kind words You guys will be asking me to leave this check in b/c you will be tired of listening to me whine!

Lori

 

[helened]

Awwwww, where is everybody? That is some big news from Lori!!!!!!!!

Lori: Oh oh..... looking for the crying face already?! Please do keep posting. If I'd been part of this thread during my preggo years I probably wouldn't have gained as much. Plus, I remember being preggo myself so def fun to hear it from someone going through it again PS great shopping for kids clothes in the US I hope you work out your HM problem. Maybe best to talk to a doc about it?

OK, back to work.....

 

[Pinny150]

Whoa...checking in LATE today! I didn't wake up til 7 and had to fly to work... Forgot to turn on my alarm.

Lori- CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know you have mixed emotions about it, but I think it's wonderful news! Please do keep posting! My mother is the same way....knows when everyone's pregnant, seems like before they do!! LOL. Definitely keep posting...bitch and cry as much as you want! We'll be here!

Helene- Maybe next Saturday night? Are you available?? I dont' know where to really go....and I don't think I can afford anything until after the 1st of the month anyways! But one of these weekends lets go dress shopping!

Ok...I need to fly back to work now. My concert for tonight got cancelled, and I needed to get water for the gym anyways. I couldn't have it all in the car at once, so stopped home to drop my instrument off. BBL!

Melissa: I know. Quiet huh? You are right lulu probably does have something for Lori ;-). I'm going home soon for BM2 scrambled eggs and biceps from M2 d22. Should be good. I'm on a tear to transform this old body before it's too late. And for meeting you at the RT!

Kristin: I hope everything is ok in your world

Hi to everyone else

 

[jnka825]

Hi all. So I just want to thank you guys for the support regarding my mom. I did end up talking to her on Friday before tee ball. We talked over the phone. She told me she didn't want to tell me because she did not want to upset me but she does have Alzeihmers. She is in the mild to middle stage. She is taking medication and trying to enjoy her life and take it day by day. It is very upsetting and I am trying to stay positive. The thought of her one day not knowing who I am, not knowing who my kids are, is gnawing at my heart, to be honest. I am trying my best to not think about it and dwell on it. I cannot change this. I can just be good to my mom and appreciate the time I have with her. It could be years before it gets worse, so I know I have to stay positive. Thanks again for the support though. I hate to bring it up here because I like to keep things on a light and happy note, but that day when she first mentioned it just was horrible.

On a lighter note. . . Saturday we went to NYC, which I thought might not be the place to be if the world is ending, lol. I took a spin class with my friend. We went to this place called Soul Cycle. It was an experience. It was a cool place. First of all, the room gets dark when you start, and they have some candles in the corners and the music is pumping. There is a spotlight on the instructor's area, the mirrors get all fogged up from the body eat. Oh, and the class we took was called Soul Bands, and what that is is cycling with an upper body workout in between cycling sets using resistance bands that hang from the ceiling. My triceps and biceps were fried, no joke. Okay, ten minutes in, the instructor had us going full speed, and I was trying to go as fast as these other women. Then he told us to slow down. Well, thank God I was in the back in the dark, because I freakin' fell. The worst part was they make you wear special shoes that snap into the pedals and I could not get my feet off. When I went to slow down, my pedals kept going and it was painful, lol. No one saw me fall, not even my friend, we had a bike in between us, but I was still mortified. Of course, I got myself back up and finished the workout. My knee and inner thigh is all bruised up though. Crazy!!!

Lori- COngrats!!!! I know you have mixed feelings and three does seem overwhelming, but I have lots of friends with three and they always tell me two is hard, but when you have three, it gets easier. I know that does not make sense but they all swear this is true. My friend Linda says that you just realize that you cannot take care of everyone all at once and you don't try to split yourself in three, you are more relaxed with the third baby, and so on. I think it is so cute that DH is beaming from ear to ear. You will be fine! You can run 26k, you can handle 3 kids, lol.

Helene- As you can see from above I am trying to get my head around this, accept it and make the best of it. Thanks for the support. I checked out the website of the Alzeihmer's Association and I found a lot of useful info. Thanks again!

Melissa- I am counting down to the RT too. Cannot wait. I wish I could do the disney one too, but NJ will do, lol. A double STS workout is crazy!! You go!! I have to read the prior day's post to see what is going on with the new guy!!

Hello to Iris, Amelia, Cookie, Deb and Trish. I am beat. I will be back tomorrow to catch up, promise.

Oh BTW, I did B & G tonight.

Kristin

Evening! My internett satellite hasn't been working much the past few days again. I've missed you all. Has there been a change made since I'm not finding the click at the bottom of the pages to go to other forums nor the ability to scroll and see the first bit of a post.
I went back and read yesterday's but didn't catch up on Friday or Saturday yet.
Lori, congratulations! That's so exciting for us. It's our check in's first! I can really relate to your feelings, though. I'm thinking it is a whole 'nother excuse for clothes shopping, and doesn't lulu have maternity wear?
Iris, proms and end-of-year dances are going on; Friday evening was my girls' night. So the selection will probably increase in the next couple of weeks.
Melissa, oh good! Glad to hear the date went well. Like the kitchen and wine cellar idea!
Helene, did you manage to get both those workouts in? Incredible.
Had to take a rest day today. Yesterday was doing suicides, tripped into the step and twisted my ankle again. Hoping it is recovered enough in the morning to do legs and a hiit wo. Saw the new Pirates on Saturday and thought it was okay. Yesterday visited with friends and went for pizza.
Belinda, have you finished all your moving?
Amelia, how's your mil doing?
Deb, how's your family?
Trish, busy with work?
Kristin, hope you're not too busy with tball.
