Commit to get fit & lean for August!!

'Morning!
Belinda, so what do you think of TurboBarre? Just this morning I realized I could really deep fry my legs by adding on the barre portion of I think it is LBB to it.
Amelia, know what you mean about wishing for a gym, but then I wouldn't want to drive anywhere to get to one. After spending an hour each way to get to work, I usually just want to go home. A couple of folks are trying to get me to do a Zumba class with them, and that is real tempting. The money adds up for the classes tho, and I keep thinking of how many dvds I could try for the price.
Kristin, my kids used to help me also. My dd was really good at it; the boys disliked it greatly. There is so much to do with getting ready and once the darlings come, it is too late.
Lori, wish I had half your energy! Your wo seem to be getting longer and longer. Did you click on the Lulu coat yet?
Deb, what are you doing for your birthday celebration? Are you going elsewhere, rescheduling or still going? I haven't had a day off, and worked for a few hours each day on vacation. Is the yoga instructor you like the same one who challenges you?
Started a ballet body rotation on Monday, so today was day 2 - a total body one. Didn't get to go to sleep so early last evening; wish I did.

Good Morning

I have the key pad separated on the iPad and I don't know how to fix it. Anyone have any ideas?

I didnt sleep real well last night. I keep tossing and turning and having weird dreams. I don't think I would remember the dreams if I didn't wake up so much. The baby woke at 3 and i nursed him back to sleep. But then at 5:18 he tried to start his day. He eventually went back to sleep around 6:30

Yesterdays workout was CF and MMA boxing combos with ankle weights strapped around my hands. I'm pretty sore from the punching combos. And I thought I was gonna miss my weights. Makes it hard to carry the baby around. (this key board is driving me nuts). Today I plan on going for a long run. Probably the same route I went the last time when the dog chased me. My buns are still sore from that run.

Belinda** I enjoyed CF the way it was made. I often take cathe workouts and turn them in to circuits or run before hand. It was nice to just stick a DVD in and do it.

Ameila** i don't know if anyone likes doing inventory! When DH had the business it was the biggest pain ever. To many little things to count!

Deb** never did order the jeans...I've been on bit of a shopping spree though. I think the boredom Is taking over. I ordered 9 workouts, 4 shirts, 2 pairs of boots and 2 pairs of skinny jeans to tuck into my boots:eek:. I should really go home!

Cookie** my goodness...what time do you start your day if you go to bed that early?:eek: I would be a machine with a nights sleep like that. I usually only get about 6 hours, 7 if I'm lucky. I still havent bought the coat! Amazing isn't it?

Kristin** sounds like you had a wonderful time at the wedding. We haven't had a wedding in a long time. Most of our friends are married...and headed for divorce...lol. I suppose 2nd weddings might be in the future! So do you get a pay check during the summer months? I know that teachers here get paid the same all yr around. They have enough deducted from their check to pay them through out the summer. I've also heard of some teachers working for 2 yrs and taking the 3rd off. They stretch their 2 yr salary out of over 3 yrs. I'm guessing it's worth it in the end. You should really move to canada:p. You could also have another baby and get a years mat leave...not sure it's worth it though! Ha!
Yay...fixed the keyboard! Never thought to google it! Mr.Google knows envy thing.


I can't believe one week from today DS goes to school! Kind of gives me a bad belly! Ugh!

I was contacted last night by a girl who wants me to start training her. I tend to stick to people I know for legal issues...lol...b/c i have no lawyers! Ha! In her email she told me that she was extremely sick while she was pregnant and has some kind of disorder that has caused her metabolism to slow down and now the weight is t budging. That's pretty bad luck! It's all bad enough! I can't imagine. Poor girl

Anyway...must get more coffee. I'll be back after my run.

Lori :)
 
Morning girls,

I will do HiiT 40/20 plus AC stability ball abs after bfast.

My internet didn't work yesterday, weird?

Cookie - TB got me good. I always forget about the premix. 74 min is long. Your rotation sounds interresting. What dvds are you using? I am also preferring more stretching and less impact workouts lately. My back is killing me with all that high impact.

Lori - sorry, I have no idea about your iPad? Son is sleeping, can't ask him. Your workout sounds intense. I just ordered Susan Chung new KB workout.

Debbie - I been thinking about STS a lot lately? LOL! Maybe I will start the 3.4 month rotation soon? I like TB but think the workout is a little long. Need to do the premix next time.

Kirstin - have fun setting up your classroom. Can't believe school is starting soon. Time flies, doesn't it? What rotation are you doing next?

Amelia - Cathe has a timesaver rotation since you short on time. And you still get some workouts in. Good job keeping up with your workouts. My PF isn't doing so great, had to wear my shoes doing TB yesterday. I was in tears. Need to stop with all that high impact workouts for awhile.



I will be back later. Happy Hump Day, everyone.
 
Hi Girls

Just back from 16k....10 miles in your American language:p. It was ok. The sun started to come out so it got warm. Oh and about 2 k in I realized the dog was chasing me again. I told DS to make him stay with him, I kept glancing and there was no dog...I don't know why I looked behind again a little later and there he was:mad:. So then I had to back track. I hate back tracking! I heard someone blowing their horn behind me on the way back, I'm guessing the dog was in the road and at that time I didn't care, I was to pissed again.

Belinda**enjoy your workout!

I'm not sure what we will do for the rest of the day....we will be heading up tomorrow morning cause dd has to work at 12

Lori:)
 
Hey girls, back with a quick check in before I go grocery shopping. Did slide-n-glide this morning along with the core work on there.

Im so tired lately:(, just no energy at all. Im sure it has a lot to do with all the junk ive been eating lately:eek:

Belinda- I will go check out that rotation by Cathe, my pf is back too. My problem is I don't rest my feet enough:confused: hope yours feel better

Lori-Great run...as usual;)

Cookie-I would love to do Zumba too but the $ that I could spend on dvd's always has me thinking twice. Nice job with your ballet workout

Hello to Kristin & Deb
 
Hi girls,

HiiT 40/20 plus AC stability ball abs is done.

Amelia - my PF is from all that high impact. I haven't ran in so long, can't remember when? LOL! I think it's Cathe's '07 rotation.

Lori - the dog really likes to go for a run, hah? Sorry, he pissed you off. Awesome run!

Waving HALLO to everyone that follows today. I will try to be back later.
 
Back again!
Belinda, sorry I didn't realize you had pf. I've heard it is really painful. I'm doing Ballet body dvds, Cathe's tb, and a couple of others. Wanted to try something less jarring.
Lori, how did you do that to your ipad? I usually only sleep about 4 hours a night. Wish I could get a lot more. Sometimes I just get so tired I'm good for nothing and that was last night. That dog loves you.
Kristin, is your room all set? Numerous teachers asked me to stop by and see their rooms today. I love seeing how things are set up and organized.
Amelia, you also have pf?!! No wonder your feet were so sore. A friend of mine used to roll her foot on a tennis ball and it seemed to help her pf.
Deb, hope you're not on your way to New Orleans. Had to go to the mall tonight to get a couple new pairs of slacks, and I always think of you when we go to the mall. Was walking down a flight of stairs only to be told at the bottom they had just painted the edge trim which was by then on my favorite most comfortable pair of work slacks. Couldn't find the same but found a pair that fit and got a couple of them.
Such a beautiful day out I walked to a meeting and got about 2 miles in (walking both ways).
Cookie
 
Evening everyone. I had a busy day. Getting everything ready for tomorrow. My classroom is all set and all I have left is photocopying for the first week. I am excited and sad to be going back. . . if that makes any sense. I am ready to be in the classroom, but not ready to be away from my boys all day (although they were driving me crazy today).

I went to the dentist for the first time in three years and oh boy, am I in trouble. I have periodontal disease, pretty moderate. I have bone loss too. It is scary. Both my parents had this and lost their teeth. Obviously, it is genetic. It doesn't help that I am not big on flossing. Anyway, I have to get two deep cleanings in two weeks. Then I have to get a deep cleaning every three months. On top of this I might need a root canal or crown. The dentist says my x-rays are calling for a root canal, but because I didn't feel a lot of pain when he tapped my tooth, he thinks I might just need a crown. I was afraid to tell him I have a high tolerance for pain, lol. Pretty gross stuff, huh?

Cookie- that is great that so many teachers wanted you to see their rooms. It sounds like the district you work for is very positive. I was greeted by an unhappy secretary on Tuesday. She did not even say hello to me. She just nodded and then continued complaining to another secretary. Granted this time of year is always busy for her, but she is always like this. Also, on my welcome back letter from my principal, the first sentence is "Welcome to another challenging school year." It had such a negative tone to it. After reading some inspiring books, I questioned why I lost my positivity tha tI usually have this last school year. I realized that a lot of it had to do with the negativity around me. I am going to do my best to keep my positive attitude, despite whatever negative "energy" there is around me. I just wish my administration would be more positive too, lol. :rolleyes:

I did Yoga Max tonight. I needed a good stretch. If I did cardio now, with all my first-day jitters, I would never get any sleep, lol.

Belinda- nice workout! Not sure what rotation I will do next. I am waiting to see what/if Cathe puts out a September rotation. I think I am going to do some kind of splits rotation, with cardio 3x a week, circuit 1x, lower body 1x, upper body 1x. We shall see.

Amelia- I love slide and glide. It is a great workout to do when you lacking energy. Do you take a multi-vitamin? I have been taking One a day energy, and I am finding I have a bit more energy lately.

Lori- I cannot believe that dumb dog followed you again, lol. That is annoying. Didn't he learn his lesson? You have paid maternity leave for one year by law? That is fantastic! It'll never happen here in the U.S. Funny though, isn't it? Some politicians want to force women to have unwanted babies, but then don't want to help her when she has the baby, such as healthcare and maternity leave. :rolleyes::mad::rolleyes::mad: We get a choice of having 21 paychecks or 26 paychecks. I have always opted for 26, but this year I am taking the 21 because they are holding back more money at the end, and I cannot afford for them to do that. I need $$$.

Deb- I have bad dreams every year. I think I am so prepared because my biggest fear is being unprepared, lol. I'll never forget one of college professors told us all the time, to be a good teacher you need to be three things: prepared, prepared, prepared. Lol. Obviously, I took that message in, lol.

Okay, I have to go now. I am not going to be able to sleep tonight. I am such a child, lol. On top of everything else, TOTM is coming. blah!

Kristin
 
Hi,

I took a yoga class today. Ugh, waiting for a shipment for a new product line & it's not arriving in the stores so that means I'll need to go back such a waste of time & money:rolleyes:

Cookie - The yoga instructor I like teaches Wed. & Fri mornings and love her power yoga. I'm waiting the storm out & crossing my fingers we can still go to New Orleans, DH wants me to book something else if we can't go but it will be so costly to book last minute. They should pay for your pants if they don't have wet paint signs up:confused:

Lori - I cracked up imagining your face when you saw the dog;) I thought dogs like to lie around this dog must like pain. Thanks for the mile conversion could never remember that wish they taught us in school. I love google too you get the answer to any ? That was some shopping spree . . . you may have to take on that client.

Belinda - My SIL had a cortizone shot when she had pf & she said it really helped. STS would be good choice for your pf. Hiit must have killed your feet today.

Amelia - I was going to suggest a vitamin like Kristin either a multi or adding a B complex. The big thing with my boys when they are tired is redbull:confused: not crazy about that. A few years back they used to go around handing them out to the teenagers for free.

Kristin - I'm sure your going to miss they boys but it sounds like you made the most of the summer & had so much fun. Well hopefully your sleeping soundly. I would have suggested melatonin or sleeptime tea. Hopefully your covered for the dentist because it adds up quickly have a couple of more months left of payments after a couple of years.

Goodnight:)
 
Good Morning:)

Enjoying my much needed coffee this morning. I didn't wake up as much as the night before but I was still awake a few times. I'm looking forward to getting back in my own bed tonight. DD has to work at 12 so I need to be out of here but 10:30 the latest.

I will wait until I get home to do my workout. I'm not sure what it will be yet. Probably UB heavy weights. I may do slow and heavy again. I was going to take the time and do up some kind of rotation while I was here but that didn't get done. Sometimes I like having the DVDs in front of me or I forget about some of them.

Belinda** I'm guessing the dog will go wherever someone will allow him to go. I think he's kind of a wander'er. He isn't wandering with moi anymore.

Kristin** I despise the dentist! I remember going as a child and hating it and it backfired on me. For years I didn't go b/c I couldn't afford it. I remember being in the city, talking to DH's friend in the car and part of my tooth chipped off. I ended up having a root canal done, thinking that would solve the problem. Stupid like I didn't go back to get the crown and my tooth fell out! I've thought about chucking out the 3G to get a fake one but no one can notice it. Then the year we went to fl I had problems with a tooth at the bottom in the back of my mouth. I also needed a root canal on that one but. I needed to see the specialist b/c the roots werent straight. I waited and waited for this referral.....in a lot of pain mind you and just couldn't take it anymore. Not to mention I was going to fl and the last thing I wanted was a tooth ache the whole time. I was at work one day and just started sobbing b/c it hurt so bad and that's when I made the call to have it pulled. I was back from fl for a while before I finally received the phone call from the specialist. I would have made away with myself if I had still been suffering that one out. I go every 6 months now though and catch it all before it happens. DD is 16 and doesn't have one filling or cavatiy. I'm very proud of her for taking such good care of her teeth.

Deb** I figured I could convert for everyone:p I know not everyone knows. I think there's 1.6 kms in a mile.

Ameila** that might have something to do with your lack of energy. And sometimes who knows why we are lazy. I don't allow myself to get lazy! Lol. I just keep moving!

Cookie** that's not much sleep. I wouldn't last very long on that amount of sleep. I went to bed at 11 last night and up before 7. I was also up at 1:52,3 and 5! Yawn!!!!

I will check back in later today. Going to do my workout when I get home and get sorted out. After dinner we have to go get DD's school supplies.

Lori:)
 
Morning, a quick check in before work.

Total body trisets UB CST done this morning. I have multi-vitamins but keep forgetting to take them:confused: I will start today:)
 
Morning girls,

I have AT on tap today.

Amelia - good job getting your workout in this morning. Take your vitamine! I bought some gummi bear onces, they are so yummy. LOL!

Lori - I don't get much sleep either. Not sure, what's going on? I am like a Zumbie these days. Need some sleep!

Debbie - what I need to do is stay off HiiT and all that jumping for awhile. If it doensn't get better I will see a doctor. Hope your shipment arrives soon. What a pain.

Kirstin - I hate going to the dentist. Which reminds me, I have to make an appointment. Sorry to hear about your all your problemes with your teeth.

Cookie - I am sure you will see nice results with your Ballet workouts. PF is very painful. Sounds like you are not getting much sleep either this days, hah?


I will be back later. Have a great workout, girls!
 
Good evening girls,

I did AT this morning, forgot to post my workout. I been kinda lazy all day long, not sure why:p really didn't get much done, except I made homemade applessauce. We have lots of apple trees, now I need to figure out what to do with all those apples:eek:

I will be back in the morning. Good night, everyone!
 
'Evening!
Belinda, what kind of apples are you growing? The applesauce is making me hungry and I just ate.
Lori, how far did you run today?
Amelia, hope your feet are doing better.
Kristin, are you enjoying the last couple of days?
Deb, how are you doing? Are you still going away this weekend for your birthday?
Took the dogs for a walk and it is sad to see how they are slowing down. Don't want to think of them as getting older. Think these nights of little sleep is starting to catch up with me. I'm yawning like crazy.
Cookie
 
Hi,

I didn't get a workout in today:( My shipment came in and now I have to go to 11 malls:eek: With the holiday & going to New Orleans next Thursday I will try & squeeze 1/2 in before I go away.

Belinda - My vote is for apple pie:) How are your sinuses?

Lori - I hope you made it home in time for DD, do you have to drive & pick her up from work?

Amelia - Great job with your workout.

Cookie - I checked the hotel is open & has power but the airport is closed but we don't leave for another week so it should be ok. I think your going to have to sleep one whole day this weekend to catch up on your sleep.

Kristin - Wondering how your 1st day of school was.

Goodnight:)
 
Good Morning:)

We left earlier then planned yesterday b/c the baby was ready for a nap and DD was awake as well. I was home by 11'ish. There was plenty to do....so much dog fur to sweep up:confused: ugh! My workout ended up being a mindy spin workout. It's about an hour long and it's tabata training with floor intervals as well. Then I did HR. I had no clue what I wanted to do...tbh I don't think I really wanted to do anything. My parents ended up here for the night. My mom was afraid I was going to be lonely so she came in for the night. Little does she know that fri and sat are my loneliest times. I would have been fine last night with all the things I needed to do.

Ive been looking for a dress for DHs graduation and I found an awesome sight. He doesn't graduate until the 3rd of dec but I've been looking. I think I will wait until oct sometime before I buy anything.

Ameila** good job getting your workout in before work yesterday!

Belinda** I guess there are all kinds of apple things you can make....but then you have to eat it:p.

Cookie** I use to take our dog running with me all the time. When he started to get older and his hips were bothering him, he would stop about half way through the run and we would walk home. It was so sad. That's when I decided not to take him anymore. I never take our other dog running, I don't know why. Probably b/c a dog and a stroller isn't a great idea and my relaxing run could turn into something that makes me very angry! Lol

Deb** I guess you've been kept busy with work. Isn't that the way it goes...in order to take holidays you have to work extremely hard before you get to go. Or else you have a pile to do when you return.Just not right.

I will bbl to report my workout. I may go for a run soon while my parents are here. I was kind of hoping the ps series would be here today.

Lori:)
 
Hi,

I went out with my SILs for our birthday one of my SIL & I are the same age but she is older by 2 days:p We 1st went to a pub for drinks & appetizers & to a friends for dinner it was really nice but ate so much food my belly hurts:( This morning I took a yoga class TG it was tough but need to do more tomorrow to make up for this crazy weekend.

Lori - Your burned a ton of calories today send some my way;) Does your Dad still come to stay with you when he works?

Waves hi to everyone . . . enjoy the holiday weekend.

Goodnight:)
 
Good Morning:)

It was quiet here yesterday. Figured I would have lots to read.

The baby is up bright and early again...although its not that bright out. It's dark and dingy and I can hear thunder. I guess we are in for a down pour.

Yesterday I went for a 11.5 k run. Thats all I did. I was going to do weights in the evening but I went to a friends house for coffee and I didn't come home until 8'ish last night. By the time I got the boys in bed the last thing on my mind was working out. I think I'm going to do PUB this morning and cardio after I take DD to work at 11.

She wants to go to my parents house again this evening...only cause she met a boy:confused:. I dont really want to go again this evening...maybe tomorrow for just one night. I know DS isn't going to be happy about this. He just got home and he isn't going to want to leave again. But Monday is a holiday and I have a feeling that it's going to be pretty lonely/quiet around here the next 3 days.

Deb** my dad is retired now. He does the odd job here and there so I would t be surprised if he comes back from time to time. But for the most part he does the odd job from home. When I was home he was going to my aunts house every morning for something he was doing. Sounds like you had a good evening!

I will bbl!

Lori:)
 
Morning girls, I planned on getting up and working out this morning but my nose is all clogged up:( . I'm hoping it lets up throughout the day and by the time I get off work I will feel better. Today's workout will be LIS Total body trisets CBB.

I've got to get ready for work...everyone have a great day. I will catch up on personals this evening:)
