Commit to Get Fit and Lean - Thursday, May 19th

My upper body is so sore, it's unbelievable! :eek: Rest day today, I just couldn't get up. Clients are spread out today, and I need to go the market in between.

The gym was non stop yesterday! It was busy all afternoon. OMG....do I have a story, I can't believe I almost forgot!! It is sweet, sweet revenge time! So, quick background, DC owns the gym and a junk removal business which is right next door. I keep my food/fridge/etc over there. I was cleaning out the fridge last week, and left the bottle of sanitizer over there right by the fridge. Well he's always getting on me about leaving stuff.....to the point that I get annoyed and just put whatever I left on his desk and leave. :eek: But I couldn't make it to his office in time before he slammed the door in my face! LOL! So I left the bottle right outside the door.
I go next door, and am re-filling the big jug of sanitizer in the Mens Room. I hear DC in the gym, (I knew he was coming for me at some point...lol), so I lock myself in the Men's room. (Keep in mind, the gym is busy! AND, I have a consult coming in any second). He bangs on the door and asks me if I realize I'm in the men's room....I said well I'm busy..LOL! I come out, and he says we need to sit and have a two second chat. I say I don't have time *consult was there*. He says oh yes you do...sit down. So I sit down. He soaked my seat in sanitizer. :mad::mad::mad: He says..."that'll teach ya". :mad::mad::mad: fml. :rolleyes:

I'm sure you're all hysterical now.....lol. Onto personals

Amelia- How'd the rest of your day go? How as work? Allergies are so bad for everyone this year!! Rain helps, actually.....at least it's providing a little relief up here.

Lori- I would love nothing more than to train out of my own home, would be so much easier when you have a spread out day!!! I think that will be my main goal someday. ;) I was the same way as you studying! If I didn't "get it" and/or it didn't interest me, I wanted to move on.....lol

Melissa- I'm just so happy about this DA situation! Kind of reminds me of DB, just very open. Dang @ no brothers! Cousins, Uncles even??? LOL! Did you end up going to CT? I didn't know you lived so close?

Helene- I emailed you...if you haven't gotten it already..lol. LOL @ DD. I can picture her standing there looking at you wanting to try it. Maybe you should have just given her your phone!!! LOL!

Kristin- Hahaaa...you got humbled by PLB, and me by PUB yesterday. Man, I am SORE! You're right, it does feel good to sweat buckets!

Cookie- Omggg @ being sold out of Tylenol. That almost doesn't surprise me! People's allergies are unbelievable! How'd you manage ccc?? Very carefully I imagine! lmao @ being the bad mother. How many parents have said to me at the gym this past week "I wonder if my kid's game will be rained out".....and they look hopeful when they say it...LOL.

Have a wonderful day ladies!! Any thoughts on revenge, please let me know. ;)
 
Good morning,

Iris: OMG yes that is hysterical!!!!! Gotta give it to DC on that one. I logged in just for that too. All right, time to come up with something good. Hot pepper in the coffee pot? Problem is, how are you going to stop this if it starts?

Cookie: OMG at the gills comment. You are right, I am starting to think that flippers would also help. Be happy for another pact if you have something in mind.

Kristin: I hope the sun comes tomorrow. On more day and we should be good?

All I keep thinking right now is Deb is on vacation in FL. She must be having a nice time!

BBL
 
Morning

My MIL was suppose to come over this morning but FIL decided to stay home with her so that means I get my living room ALL to myself this morning. Its WORKOUT TIME:D

On today's agenda. Lean circuit 1 + a cardio....but I may do the cardio first so im not all 'heavy-stomping-horselike' ;)

So FIL asked DH if MIL could came over a few days a week (or more) and I told DH I didn't mind (sigh:confused::confused:). MIL and her sister, the one that was sitting with her, had a huge argument and the sister isn't coming over anymore. I'm hoping that they patch things up because well...if you can imagine having your MIL over at your house all day, im sure you can feel my pain. (as much as I hate to admit, she still drives me crazy:eek:)

Iris-Haha...gotta hand it to DC:eek: So...what are you going to do to get him back?;)

Helene-Good job on your workout yesterday...and good job not stepping on DD. My two doggies get in my way while I workout, one will just sit and stare at me lol. Im doing good:)

Kristin-Great job with PLB yesterday, whats on tabs for today? And yep...I've got two more days until my little get-a-way. We're leaving early Sunday morning:)

Cookie-awesome job with CCC yesterday..have a safe drive today with your DD. I'm still deciding on the Therapist...I will more than likely go, but I may try a free OA meeting first that is close by too. In the end, im sure the therapist will help more.

Melissa-So...did you find anything at NY&Co? We have one of those in the mall close by...nice stuff there. My DH likes old navy but I can never find anything there for me. I think my favorite store is Macy's. Glad to hear the date went well, keep us updated on him...sounds like a keeper.

Lori-How did your studying go yesterday...hopefully your were able to get it all in. I use to study at night when everyone was asleep...it was my only quiet time:confused:

Belinda-Sending you hugs my friend. The other day i was on my voice mail deleting old messages and I came across yours...i just had to smile when i heard your voice again:) Hope your having a great day.

ok...did i forget anyone? Debbie is vacation...Lucky Girl!

I will bbl to report my workout. I have to work later today and go to a end of the year thing at the school at 12:30 so its time to get in a good sweat fest!!!

so this was a wittle ambitious of me....:eek: I just finished 4ds/His. Tomorrow will be CLX. Im off work tomorrow too...yay.

Oh and hey, i forgot to mention. The produce department needs help so I may get in some extra hours over there...maybe one day a week. SWEET! (and i get to eat fruit & veggies for free;))

later gators
 
Good morning!! Never got a workout in yesterday...I wound up going to Danbury and spent a little too much time shopping :eek: I got 2 pairs of shoes, a bathing suit, and some self-tanner. By the time I finished grocery shopping I was beat! I'm also cooking 2 nights a week to help my mom out. I made this awesome Greek stuffed chicken breast w/ orzo that was in 1 of my Fitness magazines last night...dad wasn't too happy. He doesn't like healthy stuff but I said get used to it! Today I will do STS D2 and abs, then I have to pick up up liquor kit.

Oh yeah I finally got my grades too! 3.80!!!!! I honestly have no clue how I got an A in physics but I will take it! :D

Helene, the weather probably isn't helping with your mood huh? Sticking to eats is VERY hard. Sometimes it's like no matter how hard you try, it just seems impossible to stick to. You can do it though! Have you tried posting positive phrases and pics on the fridge or on a cork board? It sounds silly but it does help. You can also do a private blog that no one can read if you wanted.

Kristin, PLB kills! Actually thanks for reminding me, I need to add the floor work from that on to my WO today since I didn't do it Monday. I hear ya on the rain. It needs to leave NOW!

Cookie, ew sorry about the meet being 1.5hrs away :( No fun! Nice job on CCC yesterday. That one is a killer.

Lori, what's going on with you today?

Iris, OMG :eek::eek::eek::eek: @ the sanitizer on the seat!!! Sorry though, I was hysterical! That is a cruel joke but clever. Hahaha, I will find out if DA has any cousins ;) Last night he was like "Do you think it's weird if I disable my profile on OKC? Because I don't really want to talk to anyone else." Of course I was jumping up & down but I'm like "Not at all" trying to be cool. Ha! Yeah, I live about 25 min from Danbury so it's not too far.

Amelia, oh no @ MIL being there all day. Having anyone in my house all day would drive me nuts. I hate feeling like I need to entertain someone. Nope, nothing @NY&Co unfortunately. Old Navy is hit or miss w/ me too but I did find a cute tankini there for $20 (which was a relief because I saw a suit I loved at Annie Sez but the top alone was $80 :confused:). Awesome WO today and that is great about the extra shift in the produce dept!!! You go girl!!!!

Belinda, thinking of you!!! Hope all is going well. The end is near ;)

Trish, how are things? We miss you!!!!

Deb, hope you're enjoying your vacay!
 
Melissa-Awesome job on your grades! High fives!!! Greek stuffed chicken breast with Orzo sounds delish! Im ready to start trying some new things...all of my meals are getting boring:rolleyes: Glad to hear things are going well with DA.

Trish-Can't believe I forgot you this morning...hope your having a good day girl. And thank you for your comment the other day on my Blog! That means a lot:)

ok..gotta get ready for work. Off tomorrow, yay. I need to go buy some things for the trip:cool:
 
Hey everyone,

I'm still here, just busy as all heck, or at least it seems that way. I had a 4-day girl's weekend up in the catskills and haven't gotten back on track since (today was my first weight wo since Thursday:eek:!!). I'll get it together and be back to chat. My wo today was HR...my normal weights felt kind of heavy today:confused:. Didn't think I'd lose any strength after only one week. Last night I did iClimb18 (thanks for the motivation Helene!). This weekend is also busier than normal...I have 5 babysitter interviews set up between friday and sunday. Also, trying to do some "gardening". Basically, I need to rip out everything in the flowerbed in the front of our house and start over. I'm totally lost and am hoping that the nursery folks can point me in the right direction. I haven't played in dirt since I was a kid.

So, that's all that's happening with me. I am popping in and out to see what you guys are up to. (P.S. I have to say, Melissa - DA sounds like a good one!). Will catch up with everyone soon:D.
 
Workout done! STS D2, STS no equip abs, and the floor work + stretch from PLB. My legs are shaking right now!

Amelia, the chicken was so good and easy to make! If you want I can PM you the recipe, just let me know :D

Trish, I forgot to tell you...last week I took your advice on using the lotus position for levitation holds and I did it! Granted, I only did 1 but still I couldn't believe it. Thank you!!! Wow, you are a busy girl! 5 interviews holy cow :eek: Hope it works out!
 
Melissa - Ha! I knew you could do it! Being in the lotus position made me feel like I was using more about upper body strength than core, but I guess you're using both in the end. Nice job on your wo!
 
Hey all! I am so tired tonight. The sun did come out here and there today. Tomorrow we will probably be playing tee-ball. Then DH and I are going out to dinner or seeing a movie. Something without the kiddies for sure ;).

So, I got some depressing news today. Long story short. A while ago, around December, my mom was kind of forced to go out on disability because she was forgetting a lot at work and crying when she messed up, etc. She saw a neurologist and he put her on disability. On some of her paperwork he diagnosed her as having dementia. Now, we had all noticed that she was forgetting things here and there, but we just chalked it up to her being older and she gets stressed out easily (if the line is too long at a store, etc, she gets agitated). Well, since then, she retired (this March she turned 62), I have asked her several times what the neurologist has said to her. I asked my dad too. They both have evaded my questions. Today again I asked my mom, because she was complaining that her legs hurt her and she thought it might be the medication she is on, yada yada yada. Well, when I asked her if she has spoken to the neurologist she got a little teary-eyed. She said on some paperwork he had written dementia, but on the other paperwork, he had written alzheimers (not sure if I am spelling it correctly). I didn't want to upset her, but I am scared to death. I mean, I feel like both my parents are not being upfront with us and it is killing me. How much time do we have? I am sorry. I don't een know what my point is. . . I am just overwhelmed with different feelings and emotions and I am really just worried. I am sorry guys. I guess I am just trying to work this out in my head. This forum can sometimes help "release" thoughts and tension I guess.

I will be back tomorrow for personals.

Kristin
 
OMG Kristin, I am so SO sorry. That is horrible and I can't even comprehend what you are going through right now. Have you asked your dad about it when it's just the two of you or was your mom around at the time? Maybe if you pull him aside and talk to him alone he will let you in. You need to be in the loop as much as it kills to talk about it. I'm so sorry. If you ever need anything def feel free to ask me!!! {{{HUGS!!!!}}}
 
Kristin-So sorry to hear about your moms diagnosis...Ask your Dad about it or better yet, call up the doctor...heck, i would if my mom and dad were dodging my questions. {{{{{Hugs}}}}} I know whats it's like to be hit with news like that and feel all sorts of crazy emotions...im sorry your having to go through that.
