Commit to Get Fit and Lean- Saturday, May 14th

Good Morning:)

What a nap I had:D DH went to his friends cabin for the night (which you guys knew about cause you were suppose to come hot tub'in ;)) and I fell asleep with DS. I then got into my own bed and woke up at 4:37 with the tv still on! Right back to sleep again until 8:45. We don't normal sleep that long in this house.

I am not entirely sure that the plan is here today. DH wants me to bring DS where he is and then I can go for my run but its raining and cold out there. I have no desire to run in this. Hopefully it will clear up. The only other thing I have on the go is having friends over for dinner. We have been trying to get together atleast once a month. We take turns going to each other's house and we pick a theme. Tonight its Chinese.

I feel some DOMS in my shoulders from yesterday's workout. But that's it. Today would have normally been a leg day but I still have some DOMS going on in my butt cheeks:eek: So I will probably lay off until tomorrow.

I will bbl to catch up. I read through the post last night but of course I have forgotten what everyone wrote now.

Lori:)
 
I'm supposed to be in NJ....:mad: * I know, I just can't let it go*

Wow...it's almost 8 a.m. and no one's around?? I think I will still take this as my rest day. And just do laundry.

Yesterday I did a CSF full body workout at the gym...and boy is my back sore today!! Holy!! I also stepped on the scale. If I can keep this up...I'll be much leaner than my first show. I'm only 2 lbs away from my show weight, and I'm 6 weeks out. :eek: I just have a feeling it's going to be not as much of a fight this time. I don't know how I dodged putting some serious weight back on.....but.....thank god..LOL.

So I think I'm going to move back in with the parents....*sigh*. Did I say this already? How I'm going to swing that....plus competing...and work..and a 2nd job, is beyond me, but whatever...lol. Unless I get a bang up job in the next 3 days, I'm moving!

Lori- lmao @ not wanting a load of towels morning... so what did you end up doing last night? And I have Lori Syndrome....meaning my space bar is sticking. :eek: I'm really pm'ing you today! And I'll probably start sending you pics of gowns at some point to get your opinion. Well, actually, I'll probably post them here, too....lol

Melissa- Wow...25? Yeahhh....I don't say guys are jerks at that age anymore...they just don't "know"...LOL. Hell, they don't "know" at any age...so what's the difference? lol. So what is today's tasting?

Helene- That's great you're doing the bffm! When does it start?? Yeah..no beer..:( BUT. Look at the bright side! Now I'll have allllllll summer! The 3 of us should get together SOON. Yikes about the termites next door! :eek: What does that mean for you guys?

Amelia- I'm sorry about your argument.... (((Hugs))) I can only imagine how draining it is...:( I have a love/hate relationship with Step Blast......sometimes it just sucks the life outta me....LOL. And I don't know why!

Ok ladies....have a wonderful Saturday!




 
Morning ladies,

Iris: Ok, so who wants to be in NJ anyway?!!! (unless it's to meet up with Cathe ;) ). I am sorry to hear about you moving. But maybe it will be a weight off your shoulders and help with the stress at least on the financial side. That will be good for your show. Awesome on being only 2lbs away! So if you move..... how are you going to meet up with DG? :p

Lori: I was in your hot tub all night chilling. You just didn't notice 'coz you were sleeping :p We were all there but we kept the noise down so we would wake up your DS. :eek: Yep, going to where your DH is wouldn't be appealing to me either. Hope you figure out something good for today.

Amelia: Sorry you had a rough day yesterday, but awesome workout you got in. Glad your hours are decent. I'm struggling with both of us working 50+ the two kids trying to workout and keep the house clean. Ugh. Hard to know what's more important too. I feel like Iris about SB. But most of the time, I love it!

Melissa: Have you gone in person to some of the hospitals and walked to the department you want to work in? You can hit up the nurses station and they might give you some hints to get stuff going? Also, maybe you can look up the doctors who work at the hospital and see if they have a private practice (a lot do). Then you can call up the private practice and see if they'll spend a few minutes giving you advice (maybe you can make them feel good by saying you need a mentor?). That's all I got. Sorry if you have done it all already. I was just thinking if you can somehow have someone else from the inside go to that never there lady that it might be easier. As for the termites.... I have to call someone, but I'm thinking it probably means I need to treat..... I'd rather prevent than cure in this case :confused: As for the groundhog. There was one hole in my hill last year. Now there are 5. I think mama started a family. :rolleyes: I was counting on the foxes in my yard to take care of them but it seems I'm going to have to take matters in my own hands. Whatever that means. Anyone know how to get rid of groundhogs? LOL

Not much on my side. Didn't get my workout in last night. DH decided to go grocery shopping and came home at 8PM :mad: And now DD is up since 6 and the boys (DH and DS) are still sleeping. I'm feeling like kicking some behind so I can get going.......

BBL, I'm now going to go and read up on all the threads I missed.
 
Morning

My MIL is here this morning. She's doesn't want to be by her self at home so my DH went by and picked her up until FIL gets off work. I will have to wait and get my workout in later after she is gone.

Lori-Mmmm, Chinese:D Have a great run...hopefully the weather will cooperate for you! From yesterdays post : My MIL is kinda underweight right now, ever since her health problems started appearing a few years ago she has dropped down to hardly nothing. She doesn't look good...but she was never really big to begin with :)

Iris-Send me some of that will power PLS!!! Awesome job on keeping the weight off...and awesome job on your workout yesterday!

Helene-ugh, 50+hr weeks, mygoodness:confused: I hear ya on struggling with whats most important - i couldn't imagine even thinking about working out with that many hours. So for you to get in a workout is just FABULOUS! My hats off to you:)

Hello to everyone that follows. Im going to do a cardio + abb work today..bbl

Morning ladies! I have such a busy weekend ahead. Today is my nephew’s birthday party. They are having it at a go-kart and batting cage place. I just hope it doesn’t rain. Tomorrow we have a Christening in Connecticut. Last night was tee-ball. . . I just want a day of doing nothing, lol.

Tee-ball is coming along. The team is starting to really act like a team, with the exception of about three boys who have the attention spans of Chihuahuas, no joke. The parents are getting to me a little. There is a set of twins that just do not behave well with each other or the other boys and they rarely listen. The assistant coaches and I have done everything to get them to behave, the mother seems to ignore everything or not see it. Well yesterday before the game, we were practicing catching and throwing at first. One of the little lovelies kept getting off the line and then coming back in and cutting the other boys. I finally told him that he had to get in the back because he cannot cut and he lost his place of where he was supposed to be. He went RUNNING to his mother hysterical that we are all being mean to him and I hear her asking, “Who is being mean to you?” And then she stormed over with him and was holding him, and he wouldn’t practice. I told her what happened and she said “that’s not what he told me” I just looked at her and then continued with the practice, because I swear to God I was going to snap. I may have to deal with this nonsense with the not-my-child-parents at work, but this is my own time that I am VOLUNTEERING to do a job that no one else wanted to do. She stood there for a few minutes, I guess seeing how red I was and then said, “I don’t think he was telling me the truth.” Really? What gave that away? The fact that the boys are playing nicely and doing what they are supposed to do? She was nice to me for the rest of the game offering me candy she brought the boys. Yep, that is what they need candy to get them more hopped up. Then she complained at the end that we played five innings and all the other teams only play 3 or 4. I turned to her and said, “Well, we are supposed to play six, technically,” and walked away. Ugh. Other than this kind of crap I have to deal with, I honestly still enjoy it. I just wished we can pick and choose who is on the team, lol.

Iris- I wish I understood what the deal is with all the testing. Personally, I think it is just a money-making business. Top companies like McGraw Hill make the tests. They also make the review books and workbooks and such. Then every few years they change the test, and schools need to buy new review books and workbooks. Originally, it was to assess what students were meeting standards and then give instructional support for those who did not meet the standards. Now the same tests are going to be used to evaluate the teachers. BTW- Diet easier to do that exercise? Well, you probably don’t have much to go to achieve your goal and with muscle memory and all that, you’ll be ready by “showtime” I am sure ;) So no NJ today, huh?

Melissa- I feel like I am living on the soap box these days, lol. Thanks for the feedback on Intensity and BC. I will definitely use one of the premixes for cardio, not to count as a weight day.

Helene- I know exactly what you mean about too lippy 6 year olds. My 5 year old has been “testy” lately. He is testing the wrong mommy, I can tell you that.

Amelia- is your MIL feeling at least a little bit better? Just keep looking forward to your getaway weekend next week ;)

BBL,
Kristin
 
Hey Gals,

Just shoved a bowl of cereal in me. I was starting to go beyond hungry but I was having trouble deciding if I wanted a shake or cereal. I will have the shake after my workout.

DH is driving me nuts. First he wanted me to meet him half way with DS, next he wants me to come out (text him back and said that was the last thing I wanted to do today) then he text back and said he will finish up and come home. Now....he's not the swiffest person around. Its 11 now...by the time he gets home it will probably be 4!:mad:

Iris** Your boss kind of sounds like mine. He is the worst with putting things off but he does seem to be doing better now that he is the manager and not the boss. If you asked him to do something he would tell you that he would but then something else would get his attention and that would be it. 2 lbs from your leanest:eek: Maybe I found what you lost then. Stupid scale will go down a little one day and then the next its right back up. I don't drop weight by eating less....its when I am always in a hurry and I don't get to sit until I go to bed. That's when the scale drops for me.

Ameila** Did you and DH make up after? Arguments are always draining, not matter how big or small. Esp when you know you are right:D...like women usually are. For some reason I thought your MIL was overweight. Maybe it was b/c of the comments they use to make when you were losing weight. I thought it was jealousy related.

Melissa** OMG...so he rides a bike as well. This story keeps getting better all the time! LOL

Helene** Its funny how we need to ask our DH's to watch our kids so we can workout. How did that ever happen? It must be part of our instincts or something cause I feel the same way and then some times I even feel bad:confused: Stupid, I know! I haven't even looked at the new workouts yet...SHOULD I!????

I think that's it. I'm going to look again just to make sure I didn't miss anyone.

Lori:)
 
Kristin** LOL...you are a saint. I hate people who think that their kids can do no wrong and they usually end up talking about other peoples kids.

I kind of had a situation re: PT and I was ready to snap yesterday. My SIL and this other girl wants the same workout time on Fri evenings. The other girl was in FL and she hasn't touched base since she has been back. She called thrusday night while I was putting DS to bed and I didn't call her back. I text my SIL yesterday and asked her if we were on for this evening and she says she couldn't make it:mad: I was sooooo MAD! I told DH that I pity the person who is gonna get the ear full eventually b/c I am going to end up taking it out on someone. I told her that I purposely didn't call this other girl back b/c I knew what i was faced with. She then tells me to count her out for good. My response...was a mad face (cause we were texting) and then I said "that didn't take long" She never was one to workout but don't pick a time and then back out 2 days later. I think the part that irritated me the most was that HER of all people should have known better. She's the one I vent to and I also asked her to do up a letter for me at one point in time. If she ask if Im mad I am telling her. Its not the fact that she doesn't want to workout but don't tell me 2 hours before your suppose to workout and then tell me your out for good.

Lori:)
 
Good morning girls! I finished my last WO for STS and added in some Yoga abs. I have a Chivas tasting at 1 this afternoon. I wish it was wine :(

Lori, LOL I have to open 2 tabs when I check-in to catch up with personals: 1 to write in and 1 to refer back to to see what everyone wrote :eek: I have the memory of a 90 year old I swear. I would be mad at the last minute cancellation too. I don't get people who do that! If I have to xl something (which is very rare, I always stick to my word but sometimes things come up) I tell people WAY in advance. You should've charged her ;)

Iris, awesome job on staying lean & mean! That is great!!! Don't feel bad about moving back in with your parents. You can do it all!! And if mom cooks dinner for you, that's 1 less meal you have to worry about preparing ;) Yeah this guy had no clue what he wanted to do with his life, which is fine at 25 but I can't deal with that AGAIN. 25 is just waaaay too young. I've been talking to some other dude, he is young too!! 27. But he has a good job and is going back to school for his PhD. I need to cut the phone convos shorter though; the past 3 nights we've been talking until 2AM :confused: I had to get up early today too and last night I kept telling myself you're gonna regret this in the AM and yeah I kinda do now. He's very easy to talk to and actually has something to say. I figure for now I just want to meet some people, not take things too seriously cuz I have a lot on my plate and let whatever happens happen.

Helene, now that I'm totally done with school that is what I'm gonna do...go to the hospitals in person. The problem with private practices is that the schools I'm applying to don't count those hours towards the application; I need 100 hrs in an actual hospital. I don't get why, it's all PT. Thanks for the tips though! My aunt did her observation hours at a hospital near us and she knows the director so she said she will put in a good word for me there. Haha, no clue how to get rid of groundhogs. Can animal control get them out? Not sure how that works :confused:

Amelia, I hope your day is better today than yesterday! Maybe you just had a curse of Fri the 13th :eek: Your vacay is coming up soon so hang in there! Have a great WO today and nice job yesterday! I love SB too. The music is so much fun!

Kristin, holy cow you are a busy woman! I know, I hate when the weekends are jam packed with stuff to do. Sometimes you just want to chill out. WOW at that mother!!!! How rude! I really can't stand that not-my-kid attitude. And really, YOU would be lying over her precious angel??? PLEASE.

Ugh, off to work. I'm not in a social mood today haha. I might need to down a huge coffee before I go to perk me up. Have a great day ladies!!!
 
Good morning ladies,

I finally got a workout in this morning. I did STS Total Body plus abs!I haven't workout since Wednesday, I was sick the last few days. DH wouldn't let me workout:confused:he said I needed to take a break. He was right, for the first time:p Feeling a little better today.

Sorry, I haven't had time for personals.I will try to be back with personals later. I finally see an end to this mad house!

Have a wonderful day, everyone!
