Commit to Get Fit and Lean - Wednesday, May 18th

Good Morning.

Today is PUB and some stretching. I really don't have too much to say today...lol.

Amelia- That's great that the Braves game was fun. :rolleyes: LOL! But did they win? What did your MIL have to say about you working out? I don't think I've ever worked out in front of anyone that wasn't at the gym....well, maybe my mother once, years ago. LOL @ the price is right in the background....did you hear the wheel spinning?

Melissa- Did you end up taking your car to Mavis? That's where my parents are taking their car to get a hitch put on. They had much better luck there than going to Uhaul believe it or not! My dating life couldn't get worse either. :confused: But then again, when do I really have TIME??? It's the IDEA of it...........but if it really came down to it, who's gonna put up with my crazy a** life.? I need to get over to fb yet...... ;) Btw, nice workout yesterday!

Helene- Hey girl!! What's going on with you?? I say start a blog!! :cool: Email me!

Cookie- Dang ...everyone and their allergies!!! You are not alone!! I feel like I'm the only one not huffing and puffing around?? It's bad this year, everyone I talk to...and my poor clients. I had to do some re-arranging of workouts to compensate...lol. LOL@ the track people not realizing your bed time. That makes me laugh, because my rehearsals get out at 9 p.m. (now keep in mind, the average age when I'm not there is like 85), and I'm the only one yawning!!!!! :eek:

Kristin- Here's how I feel about working out in the rain, (well not necessarily rain, but humidity). I sweat more, so I feel BETTER after, and release allll toxins. that's what gets me movin'! lol. Yeah...tee-ball and their last minute cancellations...it's nuts.

I think that catches me up?? Hello to everyone that follows! BBL
 
Morning

I took some OTC allergy meds last night and the 'medicine head' feeling is still with me this morning:confused: Today is very busy for me. Have a dentist appointment in a few hours then I have to get a tire for the car. I'm also getting groceries while i'm out. BLAH. Then i have work later....

i will bb with personals...

Iris-LMAO......:p:p:p
 
Good Morning,

I didn't get a chance to check in yesterday. I started training at 6:30 a.m and between more training, laundry, DS and my own workout, it was a full day.

I am home alone today and am hoping to do some studying. I always get stumped on certain things and I just wanna move on and just go back to it later! LOL

Yesterday I did GS B,S,B, abs and 20 mins on the bike. After I dropped DS off at school I did 6.5 k outside and it was mainly hills. Im not sure what the plan is today. I will probably run outside and do legs.

I would like to catch up on personals but I just wanted to check in and then bury my head back into these books!!

Have a good day everyone~!

Lori:)
 
Good morning!

UGH this weather is killing me. I don't feel like doing anything today. I have to get some kind of WO in though and that will be D2 of STS. Also thinking about running to Sephora and NY&CO cuz I have a coupon but then that means I have to drive to CT. Ah decisions, decisions ;)

The date went surprisingly well!! My mom was not happy with me going out w/ someone I met online and then I made her read his profile and she was a little more at ease ha! Of course I gave her all the info on where we were going and his contact info too, just in case. You can never be too careful. DA is exactly the same in person as he is on the phone! He's very nice. We were out until 12:30 last night :eek: The only thing I'm not used to is how open he is; he will tell you anything and everything. I'm also not used to getting complimented. I know, sad that positive things are what's kinda freaking me out cuz they shouldn't be. I told him I didn't believe he was really 27 cuz no 27 yr old acts like him but he is, I saw the license haha. I also blurted out how I still live at home and he was surprisingly ok with it. He's like "I have no problem with you using the resources you need to get to where you want to be in life. If that means living with your parents, then you do what you have to do; I don't judge." Seriously, I am still waiting for the catch w/ this one ;) We are going out again Sat :D

Helene, journaling really helps so if you can, def do it! I started doing it a couple months ago and it takes a load of stress off. You can always vent to us too! Don't hold back girl! ;)

Cookie, isn't this weather awful?! I can't believe it's going to be like this all week :( Are you doing a rotation?

Kristin, you will be awesome at spin! It's not too hard to master but it is a tough workout! I am SOOOOO excited for the RT!!!!!! Last year was awesome but like you said, we know people this year so I think it will make it that much more fun! Can't wait. I def need to take more pics this time around!

Iris, yeah I took the car to Mavis yesterday morning. It was actually a pretty quick job and since I bought the tires there they fixed it for free. I was thinking about whether I had the time or not too for boys :confused: Meh, I will give it a whirl LOL!

Amelia, good luck today!! Have fun at work too. Hope the weather is nicer by you than it is up here!

Lori, good luck with the studying! I need to start studying too for my GRE. I'm planning on taking that in July and really NOT looking forward to it! DA said it's hard and you need amazing vocab, something I don't have :(

Trish & Deb, what are you ladies up to today?

BBL!

Morning ladies,

really quick check-in. for accountability and all that :rolleyes:

Iris: I don't know what the f is up with me. But I am so struggling to make myself do stuff lately (and not just workouts). I kind of think it has to do with DH, he's supportive but he never believes I can stick to the eats and all that. So maybe my subconscious is trying to make him happy. But dang, it's making me miserable. I'm anxious about the BFFM challenge. I really want to do it, finish it and succeed. I know what it takes, but I am afraid of failing yet again. Isn't that sad? Still going to give it a go. I won't know otherwise. It starts tomorrow.

Melissa: Now that sounds like a swell guy. Here's to hopping he is that normal and sensible. OK, see I did a little bit of venting up there with Iris. I'd start a blog but it would make me feel even more vulnerable. See, I want to be wonderwoman. Can't let anyone see any weakness ya know :confused:

Kristin: Well, at least it was cancelled. Are you getting pummeled with as much rain as we are? Just Ugh!!! Awesome on trying out for spinning. I've never done spinning but I'm going to try (spinning, not for the video :p). All with Cathe talking about doing that wo and we are trying spinning. How cool is that, she is encouraging us to do new things even before it comes out?

Cookie: Can't remember your post, but lets see, no guests at the moment. FIL coming mid July and wanted to bring someone with him that is not family. And for once, instead of being nice, I said NO! He does take advantage of people anyway which makes it easier to say no. He is a nice guy though so he is forgiven but it is a NO. :D Keep letting us know how DD is doing.

Lori: Enjoy your day. It sounds like it might be quiet for once.

Amelia: I'm going to the dentist too :confused: How are you doing?

Didn't do Lean Hot Body this morning. Woke up too late..... but did do DM2 time saver cardio. I really enjoyed it. It was the first time I'd done it and will remember to tack it on once in a while. DD came and watched me (she didn't wake up her dad and instead came to the basement to watch me work out :mad: ). She wanted to try it and I said no. Took me long enough to force myself to start something so I wasn't going to stop. She kept telling me not to step on turtle (her stuffed animal), I was just trying not to step on DD. :D

Gotta jet. Hi to everyone else and have a great day.
 
Hey all. Just finished PLB. This one always humbles me, lol. This rain will not go away, ugh!!!!

Helene- I need the sun now!!!! I think it is awesome how Cathe and all of you keep me inspired to keep on going and try new things too. :)

Melissa- lol at your mom being worried b/c you met the guy online. I know two people who married people they met online and they seem very happy ;). This guy does seem like a keeper, if not at least a second date, lol.

Lori- when something is frustrating you when you are trying to learn and take it all in, it is sometimes best to walk away from it for a while and tehn get back to it. I know when I get frustrated with something, I cannot focus. High fives on the workout yesterday.

Amelia- feel better! Two more days until the weekend getaway, right?

Iris- I was sweating buckets tonight because it is so humid today. It felt great, lol.


Hey to Belinda, Trish, Cookie and Deb!

Kristin
 
Evening!
Belinda, hope all is well. Missing you.
Iris, thanks so much for starting us off again. My allergies are horrible today. DH stopped at the store to pick up more Tylenol Sinus meds and they were all sold out! My MIL used to stay up much later than my dh and I, and she was always the last one home on NYE. Perhaps whenever I get to retire, I can start emulating her, but for now...
Melissa, this guy sounds wonderful. Enjoy the date and conversations, but let us know how things are going.
Lori, I don't envy you trying to learn all that material. The older I get the more I have to utilize different strategies to help remember different things. We're busy and just have too many things going on to remember everything.
Amelia, glad you enoyed the Braves game. Hope the dentist appt went well. I'm rather envious of you and your idea of a therapist. You are so smart.
Helene, I'm with you and having a hard time also. Shall we make another pact? Oh, and I was also thinking of LHB this morning but didn't have enough time. Isn't that a great wo?
Deb, how's everything? Hope all is well.
Trish, are you swimming as part of your commute these days? I feel like we'll all have gills soon.
Kristin, is your ds disappointed when tball is cancelled? Where do you do spinning?
Did ccc this morning. tomorrow is the league meet, and it is 1.5 hrs from home, so like the bad mother I am, I'm not looking forward to it. So, I'm reminding myself only one more year and then's she'll be off to college.
