Good morning,

I will start week two with the TJ rotation. I will do TJ Cardio Party.

Have a wonderful Day and workout. BBL!
 
'Morning!
Belinda, cardio party sounds like a great way to start April, plus on April's Fool. Did you cook a big Easter dinner?
Kristin, hope the butterflies have settled down and you're back to being excited. When we bought this house, I had to excuse myself to the rest room. I was so sick from seeing how much we would owe in interest over time. My dh always says I'm going to nickel and dime us to bankruptcy, but the big items throw me so bad. Anyway, glad we bought it. Defnitely was the right thing to do.
Lori, I knew it would be a long drive and couldn't imagine doing it with a dog. And I remembered yours was a large one. He's probably crying b/c he misses your family and all the miles of running.
Amelia, how did you manage to cook dinner with working such long hours? A friend of mine started a fitbit challenge on earndit - walking 10,000 steps a day. I'm in and it will be good to motivate me to get in more steps. Perhaps I should be typing standing at the kitchen counter and stepping at the same time...
Deb, I'll bet the shells tasted great. Could they have been a different brand or made with a different type of flour than usual. It is amazing how much changes can affect the outcome. I used to make and then stuff my own shells, til my sister told me I had the family recipe wrong - it is to buy them stuffed and frozen. Now I do them the convenient way. Hope your dad is okay. It's good you're going to see him.
Have a dentist appt for a sore tooth. Sort of dreading what they'll tell me. Thinking of doing the Feb rotation, unless of course the April one comes up soon and tempts me.
Ate good food over in Providence and got to see my dd. So glad she decided to go to college in a place where there's a lot of great food choices.
Oh, and slept til 5:45 this morning. Have slept now for for a few nights. Thinking this might be telling me something about work stress and me.

Evening ladies. I finished ME tonight. I was a sweaty mess. I haven't done that one in sooo long. I looked at the February rotation. It looks intense. I made my own rotation for this month focusing on total body workouts, circuits, cardio and yoga.

I was back at work today. It was hard to get up at 5 a.m. I cannot wait for summer, hopefully in my new home, lol.

Cookie- I signed the contract and then all the doubt set in, lol. We are waiting now for the appraisal. . . we shall see.

Deb- when are you going to Florida again? Is it this week?

Belinda- Putting my weights away today, I thought about your beautiful workout space and then about how I cannot wait for my own space in the garage, lol.

Okay, I have to read last month's thread for more personals. I will bb tomorrow.

Kristin
 
'Morning!
Belinda, you are so good at getting your workouts in and starting us off. Thanks so much.
Kristin, it is so exciting. Feel like I'm living vicariously through you.
Waving good morning to every one else.
Started April rotation However, since have done burn sets a lot during the 90 day one and I missed PUB, did pub cbs. That wo always gets me. Have to leave to be at work for a 7am presentation! That is way too early for me. I have to get better at asking what time before agreeing in the future.
Cookie
 
Morning girls. No workout yesterday but I did a five mile power walk Sunday evening.

Six Flags today:D:D:D, so no workout today. And can ya'll believe that the kids don't want to go? Well, for one thing there still getting over there cold and the water rides aren't open yet. I've got my brother coming over to watch them for me. We're going with a family friend and her daughter...should be fun.

My old back injury is back. I was hoping it was gone but since starting heavier weight lifting a few weeks ago I guess I aggravated it. So no lifting until its gone. waaaahhhhhh :(:( I was suppose to start the Xtrain + LIS rotation yesterday but it will have to wait a few days ( or a week)

8 days now and only a third of the caffeine I used to drink. Im proud of myself:) I'm sleeping so much better and my anxiety is almost gone. :)

Belinda-Have a great workout girl with TJ. I love Chalene.

Cookie-Sounds like a fun challenge. I kinda wish I would have stuck with my fitbit but I got so frustrated with it...it was a very motivating tool. LOL at stepping while typing. I'm not sure I could do that :confused: About the cooking...my hubby cooks a lot and whenever we do cook we always cook a bigger batch for fast grab-and-go meals. :)

Kristin- you sound so excited! Im so happy for you!!!! whens the move in date? How was Easter?

Lori-Glad to hear your getting to see your family and getting your dogs back! Great workouts girl

Deb- No peeps? Well that stinks. Our store started marking down Easter candy Friday and we had 6 buggies FULL of it. no peeps though...apparently there the first to go. LOL.

Pam- are you still with us? Hows everything going?
 
Good morning,


Today l will do TJ 20 min & Ab Jam. And UP.

Cookie - glad you getting a good night sleep. You are welcome.

Kirstin - I know how you feel. I wasn't sure after we moved in, lol. It's all gonna work out.

Lori -/ you must be excited seeing your family and dog again. I am going through all my Dvds, then I will make a decision which ones I will sell.

Amelia - have fun with your kids.

Debbie - how was your weekend?

Have a great day everyone.
 
Hello ladies!

Work was a bit hectic today. It is hard to keep the classes engaged when I am doing "test prep." I think we will all be happy when this is all over. The seller is signing the contract tomorrow. After that it is time to get the appraisal and then a permit to rent this house out.

I am beginning to think about packing up. I am going to get boxes for this weekend and start packing up things :)

Belinda- nice workouts! As I get more and more excited about the new house, I get nervous as well. It is a big step we are taking. I know it is what is best for us. I just wish I had a crystal ball so I could see that everything will be okay. Why don't they have real ones around? LOL.

Cookie- I did the Jack London piece for seventh grade (the sample questions). Ugh! The selection was boring, there was no background info (no explanation as to what happened before), no climax, no real conflict, it was just awful. The students were frustrated. I told them it was good practice and more than likely there will be a tough piece like this on the test. They just need to remember to push through and do their best. God help me. I think they've made it so hard, and raised the bar so high that we are all doomed to fail. Furthermore, I am beginning to believe in the whole conspiracy theory that we are being set up to fail so that they can privatize education. It makes me sad as a teacher and damn angry as a parent.

Amelia- we will be closing on or about May 15th! It is crazy! Good for you with the caffeine. That is great, especially if it is easing your anxiety. That is excellent!

Deb- I'm thinking you are in Florida? :) Cookie is living vicariously through me.. . I'm living vicariously through you, haha!

Lori- how's the dog?

Okay, off to relax.

Kristin
 
Hi,

I'm still here, didn't sleep last night & have had a very stressful couple of days. I'll stop by tomorrow, we leave for FL on Thursday morning.

Goodnight:)
 
Hey Girls,

I thought I checked in last night. I think I'm losing my mind....not my post:mad:. Last night I did GS C&T and TTM. Phew! I have only done that workout once before, I didn't realize it was so tough! I was pooped. Tonight I did GS bics and shoulders, tabatise 1-4 and a bit of supercuts. I'm pretty sore from last nights workout.

Belinda** have fun going through all those DVDs. Just wean out the ones that you know you aren't going to use. That's what I do when I need to filter through stuff. I actually gave my neighbour some DVDs I never used. She gave me a day of free baby sitting:)

Cookie** I've always hated the dentist. It's one of those things that's haunted me as a child. I need to find a new one here.

Kristin** start packing:eek: fun times a head! I'm content where we are now and rent is cheap but when we drive by these bigger homes with space, I wish we were ready to buy. The dog is doing good, I can't believe it. I figured he was gonna have my parents drove crazy. But he's been on his best behaviour.

Ameila** congrats on conquering the caffeine! I'm not ready to give up any coffee yet:eek: Hopefully your back heals quickly.

Deb** hope everything is ok!

So my mom called this morning and the dog couldn't go on her flight cause its over 8 hours long:mad:. So what I thought was going to cost me $105, is actually $450 b/c he has to go cargo on a different flight. My parents arrive at 11:30 and he gets in at 5. BUT we bought a new van and the promotion with buying a new vehicle is a free trip to vegas:)...win, win if you ask me!!

I'll bb tomorrow!

Lori:)
 
Hi,

I'm not sure where to even start but didn't get a workout in but did a lot of pacing. My older son needed to go to the hospital so as of right now we cancelled our flight. He is upset that we cancelled, I feel bad because of my Dad but will wait to hear from the Dr. I want DH & younger DS to go & I can catch up but will see. My son has been very depressed lately but didn't realize how much. I should have known when I asked him to come to FL & he didn't want to go. It was my younger son's birthday so that helped to keep my mind busy. All day long I was dying to either do a Cathe workout or run:)

Belinda - How long is your TJ rotation?

Lori - Wow on the free trip to Las Vegas you will have so much fun! Will they give you money for gambling too LOL.

Kristin - That is a quick turnaround time to get into the new house. Are the boys excited?

Amelia - I wouldn't have even linked coffee to anxiety but of course. They said peeps is the #1 candy for Easter.

Cookie - I like your sister's way of thinking, I was rushing & didn't measure & leftout the cheese on top which maybe would have sealed them closed:confused: That is an early presentation hopefully there was breakfast.

Goodnight:)
 
'Morning!
Deb, I'm very sorry to hear about your ds and the stress you're under. Plus, your concern for your dad. Wish there was something I could do for you. I'm always willing to listen and empathize. As you know, I can certainly relate dealing with my son.
Belinda, do you have a target in mind with all your kicking and punching?
Amelia, do you still use a fitbit? I'm finding this competition fun. My friend is keenly competitive and it is really bugging her that I'm ahead. So naturally I want to stay there.
Kristin, almost a new home buyer! Thought of you when I saw how many home decorating mags there were in the checkout line at the grocery store yesterday.
Lori, so when do your parents arrive? And the dog? You must sleep like a log with all your workouts.
Pam, hope all is well.
Instead of cardio leg blast did Tonique. Today is our 32nd wedding anniversary. Hard to believe someone could put up with me that long.
Cookie
 
Morning everyone,

I am doing my spring cleaning. Totally forgot to chem in yestere:cool: DH and I booked our flight to Germany :eek:

Debbie - I am also here if you need to talk. ((((((HUGS)))))) sorry you are going through. this.

Cookie - not really, lol. Still having fun. Happy anniversary!

Lori - that's great trade. I gave some Dvds to DD already.

Kirstin - I still have my doubts about this house. Wished some
times the house wouldn't be so big. Alot of cleaning and upkeeping. Don 't give me wrong, I love the house. It's also a good investment. My husband and kids LOVE thhousefultop.

Hi Amelia.

Happy hump day. Bbl
 
Hi,

Today was a little more crazy but things are getting better. Just a matter of getting the right medicine. I've been packing because the worse should be over & will make plans to go see my Dad. He has been so understanding but that's what is great about parents:) Thank you also for your kind words (lucky to have you girls too). We are also lucky to have SILs who are very helpful.

I didn't get a workout but soon;)

Belinda - Cleaning is the worse part about houses:) How exciting you'll be visiting Germany!

Cookie - It's great to be able to some here it is a great distraction from stress & love hearing about everyone's workouts & days. I'm rooting that you win the competition:)

Waves hi to Lori, Kristin & Amelia

Goodnight:)
 
Hi Girls:)

Last nights workouts was GS back, DWP and most of 30/30 until my DVD started skipping. Tonight I just did hard strikes. I haven't been in the mood to do anything the last couple of days. I think I needed a day off, even thought I've been taking more now then ever. I was going to take one tonight but I may not get to workout the next couple of days so I picked something I wanted to do. It was just long enough.

We are leaving early tomorrow morning to get my parents. We have to leave around 8, they arrive at 11. Then the dog at 5. We are packing our bags just in case we stay all night.

Deb** sorry to hear about everything that's been going on:(. You just never know. Hopefully he will get the help he needs! Usually medication is all they need. Thankfully you caught it in time. Sometimes things can go over looked. I'm glad you listened to your gut.

Belinda** nice workout! When are you going to Germany?

Cookie** 32 yrs! :eek: that's a long time. Just as well stick it out now ;). DS doesn't know that the dog is coming. He is gonna be so excited!

I won't be around tomorrow but hopefully Saturday!!

Lori:)
 
Morning,

I will do cardio today.

Debbie - glad your son is doing better and getting help. You are a good mom.

Lori - how exciting! We will fight June 28 - July 20. I am excited.

Cookie - hope you had a great time yesterday.


I will be back later. Have a good one.
 
"Morning!
Belinda, almost a whole month with your family! How wonderful. You must be counting down the days. Will your children be joining you?
Lori, so exciting w/your parents coming and then the dog. Your kids will be so excited, there will be no sleeping anyway. Sometimes our body is just saying it needs a break. Perhaps, even yours?
Kristin, think I always have second and up to 22nd doubts on everything! Hope everything works out smoothly today.
Amelia, how's the bakery drama?
Deb, very glad to hear things are calming down. I thought of you a lot yesterday. Hope you're handling the stress alright.
Went for a long, long walk yesterday w/dh and accumulated over 42,000 steps! My friend was not sending me nice texts while I was accumulating them! Did bis/tris today. Off to judge the National Geographic Bee.

Morning girls

Since my last check in on Tuesday I've done.

wednesday-4miles + 100 body squats
thursday-cardio supersets
This morning- super cuts

My back isn't quite 100%, still a little tender but I HAD to hold some weights in my hands this morning. Super cuts was perfect. :)

Eating going good, workouts going good. I weighed this morning (after telling myself I would step on the stupid thing for 6 months:rolleyes:) and im down 3lbs since three weeks ago. Not bad...kinda slow, but still fabulous :) Im following Myfitnesspal calories. Sometimes I eat my exercise cals back and sometimes I don't.

Day # 3 NO CAFFEINE, and I feel great. I was so sleepy the first day ( remember I cut my caffeine way back last week) but im doing better today :) I have to watch what I eat even more now. Caffeine is in everything just about...

sorry to be completely self absorbed in this post:eek: but I wanted to check in with ya'll. Gotta scoot to work now...bbl with personals :)
 
Morning girls, quick check in before work ( if I can get my spelling down:confused:)

Belinda-I need to do some spring cleaning too. When do you go to Germany?

Deb-Im sorry so to hear about ds and depression. I can't imagine what your going through...im sorry you had to cancel your plans too. How is everything now? Depression is hard on everybody :(

Cookie-Awesome walk the other day!! How have you been? About the fitbit, I no longer use mine :eek: I got so aggravated with it that I took it back.(had trouble with the communication between the fitbit and my computer) I'm glad your enjoying yours.

Lori-Have a safe trip today. Nice job with HS.

Kristin-Have a great weekend!! Nice job the other day with ME, that workout is no joke.
