Morning ladies,

Today I will do some weight workouts.

I will be back after my coffee to catch up on personals.
 
Good Morning:)

Two more sleeps to go...or more like one. I probably won't even sleep the night before. Not to mention that I will have to get up before 5 :confused:. I'm not worried about me...thinking about the baby. I'm sure he will be fine to considering that his eyes were open at 4:30 for to long.

Yesterday I did GS chest,tris and back in the a.m. And last night I did TTM plus some leg work.

There isn't much happening here today. It's my sil's bday and mine tomorrow so we are going to my inlaws for dinner tonight. She's making chicken lasagna and I made Mac and cheese yesterday for everyone...to much pasta:eek: so I think a nice long cardio is a good idea for today. It's not hot here so maybe DD will watch the kids so I can run.

Belinda** you don't drink your coffee while your checking in with us!? Lol...that's what I do and have been doing it for years. I don't know what I did when I didn't check in when I was pregnant. Probably cleaned or something silly like that :p

Kristin** I love how you were trying to keep your eating half clean yesterday! Lol if I try to be really good I usually fail miserably...so it's just as well I don't tell myself that I can't have something. I'm not looking forward to all the eating out I will be doing in the near future. The hotel does have a gym and free breakfast which is a plus!

Cookie** I went a little darker with my hair color and she put a few blonde highlights in. I'm not sure what it looks like yet cause I haven't actually done it. I don't get her to style it b/c it's curly and I'm the only one who knows how to do it...plus I was coming home to workout. I'd like to workout early today so I can't get at it and see if I like it.

Deb** I don't know how I pulled off being blonde before. I'd never be able to go back to having highlights like that again. Im sure you still had a good workout on the elliptical.

Ameila** nice workout!

I will bbl to report my workout!
Lori:)
 
Morning all! I am getting ready to go to the beach with my friend and the kids. I am hoping it does not rain here. A big, but fast thunderstorm hit NYC and Westchester this morning. The sun is out and then in the clouds, and out again. It is a humid day, perfect for the beach! Not sure what my workout will be today. It will be cardio for sure though. I am in the mood for Intensity or IMAX 3, or CSS, lol. I cannot make up my mind.

Cookie- I am definitely enjoying my time off. I usually read inspiring "teacher" books in August. I want to get some new ones this month. Last year was a really tough year for me emotionally. I felt so burnt at the end. The testing is killing all the joy in this job. This year it should be even more fun :rolleyes:. Anyway, I am hoping to do just do my job and stay positive. Not much more I can do. I am excited that I am going to teach The House on Mango Street. I love teaching new novels instead of the same ones year after year. I have been planning the unit this week. I am excited about that.

Lori- I have been eating so much crap lately it is not even funny. When I work, I am able to keep it healthy and clean for the most part, so when I have pizza or Fridays boneless wings, I don't feel guilty. However, in the summer I just give in to all the tasty but bad food, lol. I carry weight in my middle and the second I eat too much salt I bloat up and it looks like I have no abs, lol. Two more nights!!! Woo hoo! I love it when the hotel has a gym. As a matter of fact, that is what sold me on the resort we stayed in Florida. I narrowed it down by the pictures of the pools and fitness centers, lol.

Deb- None of my friends eat clean either, lol, except my friend that is a personal trainer, but I haven't seen her this summer, lol.

Belinda- Do you think your workouts will be arriving soon? I live in NY (as you know), so whenever I order from cathe.com I normally get my order within 2-3 days.

Amelia- what are your plans for today? I am still thinking of peanut butter fudge, lol.

Okay, I will bbl,
Kristin
 
Workout all done. I did Step Blast/SJP premix, cardio circuit. It was a great premix. Step combo from SB, then hi/lo 1, then combo 2 from SB, hi/lo 2, etc. I love premixes like this that give you a "whole new workout" with a dvd you've done many times already.

So we went to the beach and we were there for a half an hour. The sun was out, th ebeach was lovely and we practically had it all to ourselves because no one was really around. Then a thunderstorm came and hit us hard, lol. Just my luck! We stayed in our cars for a bit, but the kids got restless, so we decided to go home. The funny thing is when we got home we realized it didn't rain in our twon, just the north shore, lol. Figures.

Anyway. . . TOTM is here officially, and I am craving chocolate and Twizzlers. .. luckily there is nothing like that in the house, lol.

Belinda- nice job on your workout. Slow and Heavy is one of the few series I still don't have, lol.

Good night all!
Kristin
 
Hi,

Ugh, I can't believe it's August already:(

A really busy day & sat in so much traffic because of the rain so I have seat DOMS:rolleyes: I didn't get a w/o in because I had to go to 2 malls & finish up all my computer reports. It's not looking good for tomorrow either SIL wants to leave at 9:30AM, I said as long as we stop for coffee:)

Belinda - Great workout & don't buy too much at Costco;)

Lori - Happy Birthday!!!! it will be by the time I finish typing this:) It's great that you'll see DH for your birthday.

Kristin - My friend wants to go to Robert Moses beach tomorrow unless we keep talking & never leave the house. I have a feeling I'll be really close to you. Great workouts today.

Cookie - Ugh, on the car. I'm really tired too so I'm welcoming the unplanned rest days:)

Goodnight:)
 
Good Morning:)

We woke early this morning....the baby and I are the only two awake but he is in his jumper and squealing so it's only a matter of time before DS walks down the steps.

I decided to take 2 suitcases with me. I have to pay for the 2nd one but only $20 and he will need so much cloths (he spits up a lot) so its just as well I pack two suitcases....it will be worth it. So I have his bag almost ready. I started mine but realized I needed to do laundry.

Yesterday's workout was 3.5 miles on the tm, tabata spin and MMA boxing combos and I know I did those yesterday. My UB is fried! I was leaning towards cardio and a fb workout today but my UB might be to sore.

Belinda** thanks for the bday wishes. I forgot how old I was. I've been saying I'm 34 forever so actually turning 34 wasn't a big deal! Lol

Kristin** sounds like you had a eventful day with the kids, the rain and TTOM:eek:. If I was craving something, chances are I would go to the corner store and get it! If I gain weight it's in my middle as well. I'm short waisted so it has no where else to go!

Deb** what do you mean aug already ;). I'm probably the only one who can't wait for dec to arrive! Thanks for the birthday wishes. Im guessing it will be like any other day around here.

Ok....I will bbl to report my workout!

Lori:)

Happy Birthday, Lori!!!!!Hope you have a great day today! I am sure you are all busy packing up and filled with excitement to see DH! Hope you have a wonderful birthday and a wonderful trip!

I just finished AT. That one always reminds me of the roadtrip last year. I did the workout with my boys, lol. I gave each one a mini step (fanny lifter from the FIRM), and bands and light weights. They were too funny. My younger DS was done after five minutes, but he was encouraging us. My older one was saying, "I feel the burn," lol. Too funny. I had to do the workout while DS was awake, because we are going to my parents house, and he won't be napping later, lol. It was an experience.

Deb- Robert Moses is a great beach, about 30-40 minutes away from me. It is near the district I work in though. Have a great day!

Belinda- did they arrive? That picture is too adorable and funny. Makes me want to get a dog. .. I better look away, lol!

Cookie- How are you holding up with the humidity at your job? Do you have a/c in the place they moved everyone?

Kristin
 
Hey girls, Just finished After Burn and I have the puke factor going on now. :confused::eek::( that workout was tough..i kept having to pause it to catch my breath:eek:

Happy Birthday Lori..

I will bbl with more personals:)
 
Amelia- I love, love, love AB, but there have been a few times where I felt lightheaded or sick from doing it. If I didn't eat enough that day or if I do it first thing in the morning (I did that on a day off once), I get sick. SO, you are not the only one, :)
 
Morning girls,

No dvds:confused: I was waiting all day long. I did ended up doing Cathe's RT BC via live streaming. Lovethat one! I also did 15 min stretching on the end.

Lori - hope you had a wonderful b-day yesterday. Have a safe trip!

Amelia - I felt like that before too. Like Kirsten said, maybe not enough water or food? That one is tough. Good job.

Kirsten - I agree, AT + AB reminds me too off the RT:D :This year RT reminded me off last year's too. Good job, w/AT yesterday. So cute, your boys worked out with you. Even it was only 5 min.:p Hey I am done after 5 min. Don't get a dog;) they are cute, but a lot of work! You doing a lot of circuit workouts, hah? I need to give that SJP premix a try, I still haven't made it to all 28 premixes. LOL! Maybe I will play around with the premixes next week?

Cookie - sorry about your car. My windshield is cracked:confused: don't know how that happend? Went to the inspection 2 day's ago, it wasn't broken! If is not one thing is another....


Today I will do S&H legs/shoulder.

We are getting ready to paint our living room this weekend.

I will be back to report my workout. Have a good one, everyone!
 
Hey girls! Happy Friday! I did a whopper of a workout today. I did KPC, kicking and punching premix (just the combos and ab work), then I added on CSS, 5-8 premix. Overall, I burned 706 calories! I liked doing two short premixes and making it one long workout.

Today we have DS baseball game. I am taking the boys to the library to return books and get new ones. Then stopping by my parents for a little bit.

Belinda- just saw on MFP that the dvds arrived! Woo hoo! Let me know what you think! I am doing circuits this week and then next week I am starting my own August rotation. I have STS TB and have never done it. I previewed it this week and decided to make this my weight workout for one month. So I am doing STS TB, then LIS workout, then a high impact workout, then STS TB, KB of some kind, LIS (some type of circuit) and then yoga or rest day. If you want, I can post the rotation here.

Lori- I hope you are having a great time!

Waving hello to Amelia, Cookie and Deb!

Kristin
 
Holy Crap, Kirstin!!:eek: That is one cal burn! What is CSS? Those premixes are amazing! Yeah, I like to see your rotation;) sounds interesting!
 
ey girls,

Cross Fire is done! That one is a lot of fun and a nice sweat fest. I burned 557 cal in 55 min. That one reminds me off the RT workouts! No wonder I love it! Now I am tired.

Hi Amelia, Cookie, Lori and Debbie!


Off to the shower. I will try to be back later. If not, good night!
 
Hi,

Yesterday was a lot of fun with my friends. We ended up going to the beach at West Hampton it was really nice. We also ate in the little town there & it was really cute. We were gone for over 12 hours. My one friend wanted to stop at the cemetary to visit her parents & afterwards wanted us to stop at a funeral for another of her relatives, which we never found (that was a little weird) but whatever!

I took a Yoga class today & it felt really good.

Belinda - Yeah your workouts arrived:) I'm sure you'll love them. Your dog has the life!

Lori - Have fun visiting DH:) & I'm not looking forward to December;) Hopefully you won't have to change clothes too much!

Kristin - Nice workouts today. My friend does live in Smithtown. My friend said Robert Moses beach is really nice, it would have been much easier if we went there, maybe next year.

Amelia - Great job with AB, I have a feeling Cathe's new series will be just as tough . . . can't wait.

Cookie - Are you packing for vacation?

Going to grab a bite to eat . . . Have a great weekend:)
 
Belinda- Here is my rotation.

Deb- WOw so you went all the way out east!!! That must have been a long drive for you. Robert Moses Beach is wonderful, but I run into students there and it makes me uncomfortable, lol. I don't like bumping into students in my bikini, lol. That is a bit strange about visiting cemetaries/funerals, but whatever. It sounds like you still had a great time.

Had a great time at the ball game. Now trying to get the kiddos to bed!

Kristin
 
Morning everyone,

I will do S&H Bic + Tric today.

Debbie - that is wired about the cemetary /funeral. At least you had fun:eek:

Kirstin - your rotation looks amzing;) I am torn between your rotation and Cathe's August one. They both look amazing. Thanks for sharing! I think you would love TTM and CF. Have you watched the RT live streaming? Or followed/done via live streaming? Too me, they are very similar in the format. Give it a try!

Waving BIG HALLO'S to Cookie, Amelia and Lori!

We will start painting the living room today. Not sure, how much time I will have to post. I will try to check in tonight.
