Morning ladies,

Thanks for asking & all the prayers about my husband. He is home and doing well:)

Saturday I did S&G cardio only plus Bast segment only from LIC. Yesterday I did TriSets UB splits only. The only thing I didn't do is Yoga Max Express, I will do that one today or this week.

Not sure, what I will do this week? Maybe I will do a Bob Harper rotation?

I will be back to report my workout.

Have a wonderful day and workout, girls!
 
Hi all. Got my workout in before dinner. Now I am relaxing with the boys before I get to grading some writing assignments. I did supersets. The rotation called for power hour, but I don't own that one. Tomorrow is LIC, one of my favorites!

Belinda- glad your DH is doing well. Nice job getting in your workouts.

Deb- found discount tickets online! So excited!

Bbl,

Kristin
 
Quick check in for me: I did Bob Harper Inside out M...." Burn (weight wo). 60 min. I really liked it, got a good burn. I will this rotation for the next 4 weeks.

DH isn't doing so well today:( sorry, I don't have a lot of time for personals.

Kirstin - good job, today.

Waving Hallo to Cookie and Debbie!
 
'Evening!
Belinda, so glad to hear your dh is home, and hopefuly very soon things will be well. Keeping you all in my prayers.
Kristen, did I tell you about a dinosaur park in NJ that was also in Saturday's NYTimes? How was the zoo? I find the time goes by so fast that it is hard to keep up with everything.
Deb, so you prefer the second one of P57. I'm really thinking about getting it. You are a very savvy shopper. glad you had a good time with your sils. DD got a beautiful prom dress - we started calling her Cinderella.
Today was drill max, and yesterday went for a 3 mi run/walk. It was so windy. Now, though, I am beat! The weekend just flew by again. Never did any yardmax, just a bit of lawnmowing.
Cookie
 
Hi,

I didn't get a w/o in today, but so much walking my legs are tired. I signed up for spin tomorrow so I need to push myself to go.

Belinda - I'm glad your DH is home & hoping for a quick recovery for him. The good thing is you can get your w/o's in while he's resting.

Kristin - Awesome on the tickets! You must be so excited, perfect way to start the summer.

Cookie - I bought it on Amazon & at that time it was less money than the official site. I could just imagine how beautiful you DD must look. It must be so much fun to have a daughter going to the prom after all the DS's:)

Goodnight:)
 
'Evening! Wow, hard to believe I'm the first one to check in for the new month of May! Hoping the weather starts realizing what month it is.
Belinda, how is dh doing? Hope you're hanging in there and things are well.
Kristen, I don't know how you get the energy to exercise in the evening. I got home at 8 and am dragging. Thought about exercising as I was driving, but that was as close it is got tonight.
Deb, after those boys, my dd is a delight! Well, at least with a prom. The boys certainly weren't into them. My Irish exchange student from last year is coming the end of this month for three weeks, so that's something to look forward to. She'll be here for my dd's graduation.
Did Intensity this morning. Not sure why that and drillmax have such a fear and intimidation factor for me. They were back to back in this month's rotation too. They are definitely helping me to make me feel tired. Had some good news in that we don't need to get our floors resanded and sealed, only resealed. That saved a lot of money and energy. We would have had to remove everything - even pictures on the walls, before sanding, now it is just anything on the floor. We'll have it done while we're on vacation so it can dry. Already am thinking about how many boxes I'll need and where to move things to.

Hi everyone. I just finished LIC. Two more workouts in this rotation. It has been fabulous! I booked my airfare through Southwest and they have discounts on car rentals. I got a midsize car for the 10 days with taxes and fees under $275. I am so excited!!!

Cookie- I am so sluggish in the morning. The last time I worked out in the morning was when I took my mom to Evita, and I felt like I didn't do a good job. I went through the motions, but I did not push myself at all. I am so used to working out at night now, it is like second nature. What is this about a dinosaur park? I am very interested.

Deb- did you spin today?

Belinda- are you getting in your workouts?

Night all!
Kristin
 
Hi,

I didn't w/o today and I am starting to feel it, didn't realize how it truly helps with stress. I have one more day to input my reports & finish up some last minute stores but no matter what will do something tomorrow:D

Belinda - How is everything?

Cookie - The day turned out really nice in the afternoon here. That's great that the exchange student is coming for a visit. I could use my floors to be redone but keeping putting it off for all the reasons you said. Great w/o's!

Kristin - It looks like you are getting great deals for FL . . . leaves you more spending money:) Which rotation will you do next?

Goodnight:)
 
Hi all! Crazy day from hell. A fight broke out at the end of the day and of course, I'm the only idiot doing my job so I was alone in the hallway when it happened. I broke it up, but not without one girl trying to push through me and then another boy tried to walk through me when I directed him to go down the stairs. I flipped out on some teachers who came out after the fact. Where were they? Everyone is hiding in their room while the kids are going nuts. I had to identify the girls (not my students) and write up the boy. It was crazy.

No workout for me tonight. Between the aggravation and this cough I am taking a rest day!

Good night!
 
Hi,

I'm going to join Kristin on a stressful day with some issues at home but TG DH handled it. I couldn't sleep last night so I'm about to hit the hay:) I will attempt a w/o tomorrow.

Kristin - I could just imagine how fast you heart was beating & the panic of not having anyone around to help you out:( One time I witnessed a fight at ds's HS & it was so scary but there were a lot of teachers around. On the positive TG you workout & have the strength to take that on:)

Waves hi to everyone.

Goodnight:)
 
'Morning!
Internet wasn't working last night so I couldn't check in. Also meant I couldn't get emails done, so that's what I have to do this morning instead of working out. Not good.
Belinda, hoping everything is okay. Thinking of you.
Kristen, a friend of mine got a concussion, multiple contusions, a strained neck and twisted ankle from a student. Apparently she asked him to please get to class, and he pushed her into a wall of lockers. Just wondering, where does this show up in the APPR?!!! The article on the dinosaurs was in last Friday or Saturday's NYTimes. Sounded interesting.
Deb, working out helps me deal with stress, so I wish I had the opportunity to do it today. Sorry you're dealing with it. Yeah, I'm so happy not to have the huge estimate for sanding and refinishing! They guy said it was remarkable after having so many kids and dogs, but I'm a big bug for no shoes in the house. Of course, my dh and some of the sons do not listen to that very well...
Okay, off to finish up emails. Don't think I'll get a wo in since dd has a track meet, and then I probably won't get home to 8-8:30.
Take care,
Cookie
 
Good morning girls,


Sorry, for not checking in the last 2 day's:( DH is keeping me busy:confused: I don't remember if I mentioned it, this week I started doing Bob Harper Inside Out Method rotation. Those are tough:p I like them.This is what my week looks like:


Monday - Inside Out Method - Bure Burn
Tuesday - Rest
Wednesday - Body Rev/ Cardio Conditioning ( I almost puked on that one:()
Thursday - Yoga For The Warrior ( will that one today)
Friday - Rest
Saturday - My Workout
Sunday - Rest


Since I have a few rest day's, I will try to get a run next week. We shall see!


Nice job, on your workouts. Looks amazing;)


I will try to be back tomorrow, hopefully I will catch up on personals:eek:
 
'Evening!
Belinda, glad you had a chance to check in. How did you hear about the Bob Harper wo and rotation? What are they like?
Kristen, I emulated you and worked out this evening. DD's track team was missing quite a few members, so she was done early! I know I should be happy about something like that, but it's true. So right away, I put in 0-60 and got it done. Even did the abs, which I probably wouldn't have had time for if I did it in the am. Thanks for the inspiration. What are you going to do now that you're done with the rotation?
Deb, stress is so wearing. Hope things calm down soon. How are you inlaws and mother doing?
Cookie
 
Hi,

Today was my last busy day for work, needed to get Kohl's & Sears done before Mother's Day. They haven't sent me to my local Kohl's in a year (my SIL works there) & I told her it looked like a year's worth of wallets in the stockroom:eek:

Belinda - I'm sure the 1st couple of weeks will be tough for DH. It sounds like you have a great rotation going.

Cookie - My Mom's actually in NC to take care of her sister while my cousin vacations . . . my Aunt has alzheimer so it's tough. My inlaws are doing well they are losing weight by cutting calories. Great job with your workout.

Kristin - I hope everything was ok at school today.

Goodnight:)
 
Hey everyone. No workout for me last night :mad:. DH had to work late and I had a wicked cough going on. Between no workouts the last two nights, and then I had pizza and garlic knots. .. I am mad at myself. I will have to do something good tonight. I am in the last week of the rotation and there is one rest day (obviously) and then a yoga day. I guess replacing yoga with a rest day is no big deal?

Cookie- WTG! I am not sure what to do. There is no May rotation. I am thinking of making my own using FF's rotation as inspiration. . . maybe two circuits, one full body, one lower boy and two pure cardio? Not sure. . . I will be thinking about it. I used to get the NYTimes subscription, but cancelled it when things were tight around here when I was home with my first DS. I pick it up once in a while, but DH prefers Newsday (for the sports, of course), so he always brings that home instead :mad:.

Deb- I love Kohl's!!!!! Today two of the students in the craziness yesterday were suspended out of school for making physical contact with a teacher (the girl and the boy). I was happy with that. I am still angry with my colleagues. They seem to think when the last bell rings, they can hide in their rooms and not deal with the nonsense (which only gets worse as we approach the end of the year). Each one of them came up to me with their poor excuses as to why they were not in the hall. Whatever!

I will bb tonight!
 
So quiet here :(. I did not work out last night. That is three days in a row of no workouts. I am mad at myself, but not too much because I have had a cold. Anyway, I created my very own rotation. I called it fat burner in May. I shared it in the workout mananger, if anyone wants to check it out. I am upping the cardio, but mixing a lot of weights. It is a mix of 4DS and then some BB series, LIS, MMAs and a little bit from the Intensity series. I really want to stay on track with working out and eating this month. My eats have been good until dinner rolls around. . . pizza, Fridays takeout.

I am starting day one of my rotation with SJP, which I have never even done, lol. So I am going to preview it as I clean and then do it when DS takes a nap. I am taking my older DS to see The Avengers with my brother tonight, which means popcorn for dinner :rolleyes:. . . Clean eating all day otherwise, and then back on track completely tomorrow. Pinky-swear!

BBL,
Kristin
 
Hi,

I'm finally getting back to working out started out light yesterday took a yoga class, today after lunch & food shopping going to do a CC on the TM. So I decided to make a Cinco de Mayo dinner tonight, fish tacos. I've had them at a restaurant and they were so good, hopefully mine will be:eek:

We went to eat italian last night & we saw one of the NJ housewives, not sure if your familiar with the show but it was Theresa's cousin Kathy & her husband. It was so weird.

Kristin - You earned your break so don't be so hard on yourself. I will check out your workout. Yum, popcorn:) I'm sure this nice weather doesn't help much with the students behavior.

Belinda - I hope you & DH are doing well.

Cookie - I'm hoping to watch "Moneyball" this weekend. Any plans?

Enjoy the weekend!!
 
SJP all done. What a workout!!! This was the best thing to get me back into the game, lol. I loved it. For a long workout, time sure seems to fly. I am spent! Okay, have to get ready for the movies now!

BB tomorrow!

Kristin
 
Hi girls,

Thanks guys for asking about my husband. Every day he feels different. One day is a good one the next is a bad one. Maybe he needs to slow things down, he is a tripple A battery to begin with....lol:)

Yesterday was a rest day. Alesia and I went to get a massage. I also got a facial. Than had a nice lunch went shopping. Had an awesome day. I also got a Kindle Fire yesterday, love it!

Today on Bob's rotation was Inside Out Method "Bob's Workout" since it was only 30 min long, I did workout 1 & 2, needed that after all that junk I had yesterday.

Cookie - I ordered Bob's DVD's in Germany, a year ago. Had them all this time, never got around. He did had a rotation posted on his webside (back then!), now it's gone? I wrote it down, if you google it you can find it. If you want it I can try to copy it and sent it to you? The workouts are great, I really like them. My HR stays up the entire time. His DVD's are now only $5, can't beat that! I payed $15, each:confused:.

Kirstin - good job on SJP! That's a tough one. Have fun at the movies tonight. Too bad, I can't see your rotation in the WM. I have to download it..in order to see it:eek: Can you post it here? If you have time;)

Debbie - that is so cool! I watched the show once, with Alesia. She loves it. Let us know, how your tacos come out. I love fish tocos. Aleisa made those a few time, yummy! Which CC did you end up doing? You are right, about the first couple of weeks gonna be tough! It's gonna take time with DH.

Have a great evening, everyone! BB in the morning!
　
 
'Morning!
I think I'm losing it. Just realized I never checked in yesterday. Thought about it and must have believed I did it! Crazy, huh? Sorry about that.
Belinda, you must be patient. My family is thankful I never went into nursing. I'm great the first day, okay by the second, but by the third - be better or that's it. He's probably so frustrated wanting his recovery to be already over. Your spa day was needed. How does Bob's wo compare to Cathe's? $5 is definitely tempting. Was that on his site?
Kristen, I'll have to look for your rotation. I think it is the third premix on SJP that has a fun circuit. Hmmm, maybe I'll do that one today. I'm feeling so lost without direction. Funny last night we were talking about the Avengers. My dh certainly perked up and is now interested in going to see it now that he knows Scarlett Johanssen is in it!
Deb, so how were the fish tacos? Let me know what you thought of Moneyball. So were the NJ reality behaving in the restaurant? Glad to hear your inlaws are doing well. Your poor mother. Alzheimers is terrible on the family. Didn't realize you and your sil have similar jobs. Have the ds settled down? My oldest - the biggest challenge in my whole life - knock on wood, seems to be doing better. Or maybe it is just this week!
Went out to a Derby celebration and had my oatmeal (stout). Okay, so it was two and they were the large size. Have to wo to avenge them. Yesterday did BodyMax step only, so today is supposed to be yoga to finish out FF's rotation. Think I may try a run/walk in addition. It is freezing here. 38. Did some yard work yesterday so was hoping to do some planting but now have an excuse to wait a bit.
