Commit to get FIT and LEAN...SATURDAY

[gidget1978]

Good Morning!

I feel pretty rested...I could have slept longer of course but thats the story of my life these days. I wonder when I will get to sleepin again? Im working the next 2 weekends b/c of the race and then the weekend after that IS the race so there ain't no sleeping in that morning, I probably won't even sleep

Im wondering what DH will be like while we are away.While I was at work last night DH said he was going around the house looking for me....probably b/c it was BED time! We aren't taking the kids with us. We just found out yesterday that DD made the senior girls v-ball team so she as a tounament the same weekend! Obviously we won't get to see her play and she won't get to see me run. I have to try and get that all figured out so that she as her rides straigthened out and someone is watching her....ah....grandparents

Im up for a run again. It doesn't look very nice outside but I am really tempted to take my run outside. I don't think I can get on the TM again. It hasn't stopped raining in about 4 days now

I also skipped the b-day party yesterday. I had a flight @ 7:15 so there was no way I could swing all of that. I called and of course she wanted me to drop DS off to her but I couldn't do that either. Geez...he could have snuck out the door and no one would have ever noticed! They have handles on their doors that he can turn.

Ameila** Did you find any motivation after? Is today your weigh in day? You never know...today may hold better things for you I am trying to help my friend lose weight. Last week she lost almost 5 lbs, this week .8. She wasn't happy. I haven't really had time to talk to her about. I have a feeling she wasn't eating what I told her to!

I gotta get out for my run. Made the choice to run outside!

Early check in for me and sorry for not getting here yesterday. Noticed Fridays seem to be a day I often don't get around to it.
Wonder how Belinda's doing? Anyone hear?
Lori, I would have skipped the b'day party too! Doesn't sound like it would have been relaxing. Congrats on your DD making the team. How does she feel about you not being able to attend and her not being able to go to yours either?
Amelia, I'm with you. Change has to come from within. But those bugs are mighty tempting and some people seem to have had good luck with them. Honestly, I might be more tempted if they weren't such a visible thing.
Deb, cell phones, alarm clocks, etc., but it seems to be a human that rouses my kids from the dead. Lately, even my DH has been that way. Wish I could be that deep a sleeper. Admire your willpower and strategies for dealing with temptation.
Iris, so are you all outfitted now? Did you go dancing last night? How's your mom?
Trish, hope you have a good day at the Y today.
Helene, when do you return?
Did 4ds LIS/HIS cardio yesterday. Was tired but once I got started - fun. Gonna try 8/09 rotation - not sure my shoulder is up for the 10/09 one yet - hopefully next month. This weekend is another wonderful one of driving the DD around and running a gazillion errands. Plus I have so much office work to do, I'm drowning! Off to MIS.
Have a great day and workouts!

Morning gals! Its sooooo pretty outside this morning! The lake is sparkling and the birds are chirping!

I got online last night and read through alot of success stories that helped motivate me. So im back in the game today...and i peeked at the scale this morning(I literally peeked with my hands over my face) and i weigh the same i did last saturday How could that be? Ive been eating crap and over my cals for the past two days? not complaining though

Im thinking a circuit would be nice today, maybe scrambled eggs or C&W...LIC,still deciding. Would love to do a CC but i would have to wait until DH woke up(he worked last night). I could wait until this evening..my kids are going over to my moms to spend the night and DH is working so i will be by myself tonight(which i like) I could go by the park on the way home....

Lori-Congrats to your DD for making the VB team! Were thinking about getting our DD into gymnastics...she loves that kind of stuff. I can't believe your race is that close, im sure you will do very well in it with all the training you have been doing. What kind of program do you have your friend on?

Cookie-Have fun with MIS...good for you for getting in your cardio yesterday even though you were tired! I haven't seen a post by Belinda in a while...i hope she is ok?

Hey to everyone that follows...i will bbl to report my workout!

Hey Girls

What a good run I had. I decided to do it outside and at first I was thinking, "why didn't I just stay inside where it is warm!" but of course, once I got into it I was o.k. I ran 14 kms in 1:07 That was a 4:48 pace. My friend was happy the other day that she did a 15 km run in a 5:03 pace, this is the same girl I run with. The race is kinda concerning me b/c I know she is going to stand next to me when the gun goes off and I am wondering how I am going to keep MY pace and not stay with her. We are so use to running together. Unless I block her out altogether. It would be easier if I could just tell her to go on the other side of the pack...but I can't do that

Phone rang....bb for personals!

Good morning girls,

Today, I'm going to do Butts & Gutts. My DH had bought me tickets to see West Side Story for b-day so tonight's the night. He hates going to the city but I love it

We woke up to a leak in the living room coming from the upstairs bathroom earlier in the week our oven stopped working. This week I did a job at Pottery Barn, photographing furniture and getting feedback from the store to give to the manufacturer. Of course, I loved and wanted everything Well there goes my dream of redecorating my house in Pottery Barn

Lori - Wow, I can't believe your friend had 38 kids over Your time is amazing . . . you may come in 1st You could mention to your friend that on race day with it being so crowded it's best you don't worry about staying together. Congratulations to your DD, this should help keep her busy and avoid trouble. It's an ongoing struggle with my DS's but when they are busy it does help.

Amelia - You sound better today and great news about the scale You should write your own success story I love time alone, enjoy!

Cookie - I hear you almost every Friday night when I sit down and watch TV I fall asleep. I'm sure you'll be happy when DD gets her license . . . or will you It looks like you don't even get to sleep in on Saturday's maybe Sunday

Hi Belinda, Trish, Iris & Helene.

Have a great weekend everyone

Workout done..decided on 30day shred. I was fun, not as challenging as Cathe but fun.

Lori-Fantastic time...i bet you will come in first! I agree W/Debb about your race.

Debbie-So sorry to hear about the leak in the living room,bummer. Enjoy B&G(if thats possible) Is today your B-day? Enjoy west-side story and Happy Birthday Ive thought about writting a success story but then i think that i haven't reached my goal yet...maybe then i will.

Hey to everyone...have a good day

Hi Girls!

Quick check in. I have dinner ready and I am waiting for DH to come home. I just made cupcakes for the baby shower tonight so I get to put the icing on them AFTER dinner...I may have to taste the icing...not sure yet

Ameila** Look at it this way...you probably would have lost a lbs or two if you hadn't fell off the wagon, so thats probably why you stayed the same. I bet if you stick to it this week you will see a big drop next week b/c you will get rid of that water weight.

Deb** Sorry to hear about your leak. Hopefully there won't be to much damage. Sounds like you have a nice evening planned.

Ah...you guys are to sweet but I definitly won't win this race. I will probably do better then I did last yr but there are alot of great runners around...me is just average!

BB in the a.m!

Lori

Howdy girls,

Sorry for being so extremely MIA...just couldn't pull it together to check in. Glad to see you're all doing well. Mostly I've been doing CC in the AM and hitting the gym during lunch. Crazy thing is that the last two times I weighed in I gained weight. The clothes are fitting great so I decided to just put the scale away for a month or so. As long as I like what I'm seeing I'm not going to worry about the scale Tomorrow I am participating in Pilates for Pink in NYC. It's a breast cancer awareness event. My bookclub and I signed up for two sessions...hope I can last through 2 hours of pilates.

Lori - Glad I didn't miss your race I'm sure you've been training like a maniac. Hate to hear you're not sleeping well. That seems to happen to me every few months. It's no fun.

Cookie - Both DDs have colds so we skipped our Saturday routine and I was more than a little happy about it. Felt so good to sleep until 8AM and then lay in bed til 9AM. Heaven! How is your shoulder doing? Have you been to see anyone yet? ^5s on your 4DS wo.

Amelia - Well, you must have done something right last week since your scale didn't go up after your cheats. My scale has been up for two weeks now so I've decided to hide it! I just felt too bad when it didn't say what I'd hoped it said after working so hard. Hope this week will be better for you.

Deb - Have fun in the city! The weather is great for going out tonight. Sorry to hear about your leak. We had one last year from our bathroom into our kitchen. We ended up remodeling the bathroom so in the end I was a happy camper. I love pottery barn furniture. There is an outlet in LI which has really, really good deals. Only stinky part is they don't ship.

Iris - How is your mom doing? My MIL just got word this week that whe won't need any chemo or radiation. She has been on cloud 9 ever since. Hope work hasn't been driving you crazy.

Hope to be back tomorrow.
