Commit to get fit & lean for August!!

Hi all! I just finished Intensity. What a workout. I love working out in the afternoon as opposed to night, but as August continues to speed along. . . I know I have to enjoy it while I can :D.

So I was really upset yesterday because I went to my school website and noticed that Meet the Teacher night is September 6th. That's the third day of school. . . more importantly it is the evening of the Madonna concert at Yankee Stadium to which I have tickets to go see it!!!! :mad::mad::(:(:(. Unfortunately, now I cannot go. Fortunately, DH posted on facebook that we have to sell these tickets, and someone already bought them. Also, Madonna added Sept. 8th to her tour, so we are going to buy tickets for that one. Unfortunately, we are paying scalper prices, but still not too steep. Lol. My luck!!!!

Lori- I am sending good travel vibes your way. I hope you get nice people. People who love babies to be around you. Have a safe flight. December will be here before you know it.

Belinda- I love LIC (the original) too. The paint color sounds amazing. Cannot wait to see pics.

Deb- I can never drink iced coffee. Even when it is so hot and humid outside I have to stick to regular coffee. DH enjoys all of DD iced coffees though.

Cookie- I was telling DH now that the boys are going to sleep on their own, it will be easier for me to do my workouts once they are in bed. I usually have to wait for them to fall asleep or I'll do my workout before putting them to bed. Then I feel guilty for working out when I should spend time with them. I always have mama guilt.

Amelia- Good job with the workout. Was it all the push ups that had you on the floor? Those pushups at the end get me every time. The clock ones :)

Okay, DS has his second to last game of the season tonight. It looks as though it might rain though. We shall see.

BBL

I could take a nap right now:confused: took the dogs for a walk and the humidity/heat got me good.

Kirstin - good job on your Intensity. Love that one. Sorry about the tickets, that's messed up:( Can you sent me some of your energy?

I have so much work to do and don't feel like doing anything right now.
 
Good evening,

I did LM awhile ago. Forgot how much fun this one was I was not looking forward doing cardio for 70 min, but the time flew by I burned 733 cal, I was suprised :)

Lori - (((HUGS))) I know it's hard, but you are a strong woman:D It's only a couple more month. Hang in there!! We are all here for you. How was the travel today. Your little one looks so cute. Awww...what a cutie!

Hi Cookie, Debbie and Amelia.

I will now relax, I am beat and stressed out. It just downed to me...my son will be here on Saturday. We still have lots of work to do.

I will try to check in tonight, if I don't...I will see you all bright and early in the morning.
 
Hi,

I did Crossfire today. Tomorrow we are moving my son & I'm sure that will be stressful. He's only 30 minutes away so if he forgets something not too bad.

Belinda - I almost pulled LM out today it was on my mind. Your right it is fun + it really gets your lower body. Is ds's room ready?

Lori - It must be so hard to leave DH but December will be here before you know it. Will he be home by Christmas? I hope all went well with your trip today.

Kristin - Too bad you couldn't sell your tickets for the price you are going to pay for the new ones. Weird to have back to school so soon, you'll barely know the students names.

Hi Amelia & Cookie

Goodnight:)
 
Good morning,

Today I will do Pyramid UB.

Debbie - Good job on TTM yesterday, still haven't done that one yet:D One off my sons bedroom is ready, the other I have to wait until he decides where he wants his bed + furniture (all this stuff and boxes are in that room). I am not moving it:eek: Remember when we moved from El Paso, his stuff got shipped and alll this stuff got packed up. That entire room has his stuff still in boxes:D

Waving Hallo to the rest of the gang!

Happy Hump Day!
 
Good Morning...still being optimistic here.

Had a pretty interesting trip home but I made it home. My flight was delayed out of Winnipeg, by 45 mins which wasn't a BIG deal but I did only have little over an hour in Toronto and I wanted to feed and dress the baby for bed there. I don't know what time we actually left Winnipeg but the delay was more then 45 mins. When we were getting ready to land in Toronto the flight attendant made the announcement that a few connections could not be made and that we were rerouted. As soon as I turned my phone on I received my itinerary change and it wasn't a nice one. I would have left and arrived in another airport at 3:20 a.m, and left for home at 9 a.m. Who comes up with this stuff? They knew I was traveling with an infant...must have been a man:mad: Im assuming that they just booked me on the next available flight. Anyway....when I got off of the plane I had to find a tv with arrival and departures but of course I had to walk quite a ways to find that...then I had to back track b/c my gate was in the area I had left (add this to a hungry baby), when I found my gate to get her to switch my flight they were just boarding my original flight! I was so relived! It was almost 2 before I made it home. It feels good to be home. I'm still sad but I think after a couple of days I will be o.k.

So with that being said, I need to figure out my workout plans for the day. I should probably do a circuit or something. I weighed and have about 3 lbs gone. Who knew one day of stress could have that effect?

I will come back later and catch up on personals!

Lori:)
 
Happy Birthday, Cookie! Hope you have an awesome day!

Hi everyone. Just finished STS TB. I had written down the weights I used the last time, so this time it was a bit smoother. I also skipped using my weighted gloves because it is honestly a PIA to get those weights in and out of the gloves in time. I will probably stick to these weights next time I do it on Sunday and then maybe use the weighted gloves, adding two pounds to each move on Wednesday of next week. . . thinking about it anyway. This way I won't have to take the weight in and out.

Tomorrow is DH and DS birthday. Today I am baking a chocolate cake with whipped cream frosting, from scratch. I feel like Betty Crocker over here. :eek:

It will be hard to be good with the eats tomorrow. We are going out to dinner and then coming back for cake here.

Lori- I guess my good traveling vibes did not help. Sounds like a nightmare. At least you are home safe and sound. I was watching the news this morning. American Airlines is possibly looking at millions of dollars in fines due to not adhering to safety rules, not repairing things on planes before passengers get on board. . . WTF!!!! :mad:


Belinda- I say put off the work until DS comes. . . that way he can help, lol ;). Whenever I do LM, I start out feeling like ehhh, I am not into doing 70 minutes, just like you said. Once I get through the warmup I remember how much fun it is. I love the music on it too. That last blast always kills me too.

Deb- I know!!! I won't know anything about my students. I won't even be able to remember all of their faces, lol. Meet the Teacher Night is supposed to be just that- meet the teacher, go over expectations/curriculum/communication. Still, the first week? I am going to be exhausted, lol. I don't even sleep the night before school, lol. I am very much like a kid when it comes to getting excited and nervous, lol. :rolleyes:

Amelia- Where'd you go, girl?

Kristin
 
Hey girls,

Pyramid UB is done! I also walked my dogs this morning.

Kirstin - I should put it all off until son comes:p My legs are felling it today. I hear you on the weighted cloves, I only stick my fingers in the holes....don't even border to tighten them up:eek: by the time I am all set, Cathe is alread doing something else. Happy Birthday to your son + husband. The cake sounds delish, have fun!

Lori - I am so sorry you had to go through all this yesterday. Glad you safe and home again. Get a good run in and you forget all about it:p

Amelia - yeah....where did you go? :eek: Hope you sweating it out with us. Check in!

I will be back tonight. Need to finish up the living room.
 
Hi,

I ended up pulling out Supreme 90 shoulders & arms. I pulled out a bunch of Cathe's I haven't done in awhile to do the next couple of weeks. I have my physical tomorrow morning can only drink water when I wake up . . . it will be lunchtime by the time I can have a meal.

Belinda - My son's would take months to unpack the boxes but at their age they have all the time in the world. Good job on pyramid ub.

Lori - TG you were able to get on the original flight but it still must have been so hard. Too funny about losing 3lbs from the stress . . . maybe I can borrow the baby when I travel;)

Kristin - I'll really be thinking about you baking that cake tomorrow when I can't eat;) Everything always taste better from scratch. Don't worry about eats tomorrow because you have been really on track with your w/o's.

Goodnight:)
 
Morning girls,

S&G for me today.

Debbie - good idea going through all your dvd collection. I need to do that too. Good job on S90 yesterday.

I will be back later.
 
Hi Girls:)

I had a good sleep last night. I should have went to bed earlier but I slept well. I am not watching my nieces this week so I don't have to be up until one of the boys wakes.

I don't know where I got the energy for my workout yesterday but I did a run and AB, plus HR abs. I'm not sure what I will do today. My morning started out ok but quickly went sour. DH is gone and I'm left to deal with some of the business issues. A business that I know little about and had nothing to do with.

Belinda** I'm sure you will be organized and ready for DS's visit. I need to dig out a few rooms here but if we end up moving (which is likely) I will get some digging done this fall. It's really hard to dig with kids around. When I set my mind to something I like doing it with no interruptions.

Kristin** I did get the privilege to sit next to nice people on the way home and on my last leg I was sat next to a guy who has 4 kids so he was kid friendly and acted like my husband the whole way home! Lol. He got stuff for me, fast forwarded my movie....lol. I'd be rotted about the Madonna concert too. We had tickets for Coldplay that I had to sell. It was a bummer.

Deb** DH will be finished dec 3rd so I will be flying that same route the end of nov to attend his graduation. Seems so far away now. I think when the kids are back in school time will go by much faster.

Cookie** hope you had a wonderful birthday!!!

I think that might be it for personals! Bbl to report my workout!

Lori:)
 
Good evening,

I did L&G this evening.

Lori, glad you got a good night sleep. I didn't. DH watched TV and woke me up around midnight...I had a hard time falling asleep again. Wow, on your workout yesterday. DS isn't visiting, he is moving in with us. LOL! Going thourgh your stuff now, is a good idea. You really don't know how much crap you have until you move. :eek:LOL!

Hi Debbie, Cookie, Kirstin and Cookie.

I will be back in the morning. Good night.
 
Hi,

I did LowMax today. I worked longer hours today to have tomorrow off. I really need to get some CleanMax in tomorrow:)

Belinda - Wow, 2 workouts today:) you'll sleep really well tonight.

Lori - Did DS miss you? Once the kids are back in school the time will fly. Will you be taking the baby with you in Nov. too?

Kristin - I bet your enjoying that chocolate cake;) I'm still amazed that DH & DS share a birthday . . . have fun!!

Goodnight:)
 
Good Morning:)

Hoping for a better day today. I had to deal with more business crap yesterday. I didn't have anything to do with DH's business, he had a partner....why are people phoning me??? I had to deal with something yesterday that was in DH's name and the lady who phoned wasnt very nice to me. Finally I snapped at her....I never EVER say boo to anyone but she got a earfull yesterday...and then DH got one last night. So...no workout yesterday, just wasn't in the mood:eek:. Can you believe I just said that!? My plan was to workout in the evening, went downstairs around 9, was putting my shoes on and realized that I was just to tired. Physically and emotionally drained...so I opted to shower and watch some tv. Today I will make up for it:)

Belinda** lol...he's moving back home?:eek: Kids have it to good these days....why would they want to move out? When I left I didn't move back. I don't know if any of us did. I think my sister may have just for her work term. It's not that we didn't have it good there but there was nothing there to do. To find work there wouldnt have been easy. I did take a year off after high school and I stayed home with DD. I don't know how I got through that year!

Deb** I'm debating taking the baby when I go in nov but it depends on how much work he is then. He will be at the age where he isn't going to want to stay in my arms and he may even be learning to walk then. If I don't think it's going to be an enjoyable trip, then I may not bother. Of course DH wants me to bring him. It would be nice for all of the family to be there for his graduation...we shall see!

I'll bbl. I'm thinking weights and cardio. Probably UB and a run...

Lori:)
 
Morning girls, this will be a quick check in and I will bb this evening with some personals.

The last few days haven't been very good. My mood has been awful...just angry and real b*tchy for some reason? My eating has been terrible:mad: Oh well, I can always blame it on the hormones I guess :rolleyes:

I did however manage to get in Tri sets full body express premix Wednesday and this morning I just finished CLX Burn it off, im hoping it will kick these blues to the curb.

ok. Time to get ready for work.

Some real quick personals....

Lori-:eek::eek::mad: on your recent trip back, I can't imagine going through all of that with an infant.

Cookie- HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU SWEET LADY! Hope you had a great one.

Deb, Belinda, Kristin...awesome workouts ladies.

I will bbl. Gotta get ready for work.
 
Hi girls,

Today I will do KPC!

We couldn't finsih your living room, I steam cleaned the carpet since everthing was out anyway, made claning much easier.This morning I finished our living room, everything is back where it needs to be. I like it a lot! Funny what a little paint can do!! LOL! Good job today and yesterday.

Amelia - (((HUGS))) stay positiv! Hang in there, girl! Good job this morning. Working out or taking a walk helps me to deal with stress.

Lori - you only can take so much crap from other people. Nothing wrong lettiing it out once in awhile. Sorry you have to go through all that stress, it will be over soon. There is no work for my son in El Paso, TX. He just finsihed/gratuated collage this week. Work wise, he has a better chance around here than TX. Also DH and I spent way to much money on DS in TX. Him and my DD saving money this way. We want them to have a good start in live. Aleisa was paying a fortune on rent in Arlington, VA. Everyone in my neighborhood comutes to DC!

Debbie - nice job on LM! Have fun with cleanmax today. I doing that one too:p

Hi Cookie and Kirstin!

I will be back after my workout, but before I think I will take a nap!
 
Hello everyone. It is pouring over here. Lots of thunder too :(. DH and DS had a good birthday yesterday and we all enjoyed the cake :D. It was so delicious. DS birthday party is tomorrow, so we have a few things to do, such as put the goodie bags together. I finished my workout, Afterburn. I was thinking of Amelia because this time I felt a bit dizzy at the end. I pushed through it though. Did you guys know the presale for Xtrain is ending August 21st. I am assuming that is the free shipping, but the price will be the same as they do a less "giveaway" presale if that makes sense? :confused: I really wanted to wait for my first paycheck. :( There is so much coming up. We have my friend's wedding, my niece's Christening, plus my son's birthday party tomorrow. And of course, back to school shopping.

Amelia- hope you are feeling a bit better. How do you like that premix for Trisets? I haven't tried it yet.

Lori- sometimes you just have to listen to your body, right? When I work I have to workout at night, and sometimes I just don't have it in me at the end of the day. Your workouts have been so killer, one extra day of rest won't kill you. Don't you think airlines should have an option for us to sit next to people with kids/similar interests? It could be like match.com for flying, lol.

Deb- The cake was AMAZING, if I do say so myself :). DS was a premature baby, so I was not due to have him until October. He insisted on coming out and it so happened to be on DH's birthday. Something we will never forget, lol.

Belinda- lately I haven't been sleeping very well. I keep getting woken up by a snoring bear. . . oops, I mean my husband, lol. It is driving me nuts. He sleeps on his back a lot, which makes it worse!!!! I got so frustrated the other night, I pushed him, lol.

Cookie- are you very busy or having Internet problems again?

Okay, bbl

Kristin
 
Hi,

I took a yoga class & the thunderstorm offered sound effects for us. Yesterday they did my blood pressure & it was so low 90/54, personally I think the machine was broken I would have fainted with #'s like that.

Lori - With all the traveling you did it was probably good you took a rest day otherwise you may not have;) Even if you don't take DS at least your DH will be home the following week.

Amelia - I hope your feeling better, maybe a kickboxing workout is in order:) I'll have to check out the Trisets fb express workout.

Belinda - I've heard that the DC area is great for young kids for jobs & socializing. Your right it's so hard for kids to save with everything going up gas & food are on the rise again:mad:

Kristen - Wow that must have been a nice present for DH when DS arrived on his birthday. It's funny my nephew is having a baby & they know it's a boy & my MIL can't understand how they could possibly know it's a boy:) Cookie is on vacation this week.

Goodnight:)
