Commit to get FIT & Lean for August!

Morning girls,

Today I plan on a leg workout at the gym. :)

The kids 1st day of school is tomorrow & I'm off tomorrow:)

So I've got a little vent about my boss. In the bakery, we don't have a set schedule, its up to the department head to make a weekly schedule. Well, this past week she requested yesterday off to be at open house. Well, get this...now that her little girl is in pre-k she goes to the same school as my 3rd grader and open house was from 4-6 yesterday evening. What pisses me off is that I had to do my job AND her job yesterday because she 'had to be' at open house. WTH?:mad: Guys, she is always doing stuff like this. I get so mad and upset because of her selfish ways.
 
Good morning! I need to watch what goes into my mouth today: had a little too much fun last night with the parents at dinner. Ugh, my stomach is paying for it this morning. Today was supposed to be yoga but my mom invited me to go on a 5 mile walk w her and her friends. Maybe yoga later? Also, my friend from school is up here visiting her boyfriend who lives 5 min away from my parents' house, so we are going to lunch this afternoon. I haven't seen her since classes ended in may! So excited :eek::D

Belinda, wanna hear something crazy? My roommate pays $150 a month for a crossfit gym...and he goes 2x a week. I told him to DL the crossfit app, it'll save so much money. I guess he knows of a secret money tree.

Amelia, WOW awesome work yesterday!!!

Deb, that's why I like DVDs over the gym cuz there is so much more variety. I also like being able to workout whenever I want and not having to drive anywhere. I do kinda miss taking classes w other people tho.

Cookie, where you at?
 
Workout done. Did 60 minutes of legs @ gym.

I couldn't find my mp3 player and there was this guy that was in there talking a little too much :rolleyes:

Melissa-Great job with your 5 mile walk. Enjoy your yoga later and lunch with your friend :)
 
Good afternoon,

I am done with D5 + yoga challenge.

Melissa - I believe it:confused: There is a cross fit gym in town, it was over $100:eek: WTH? It looked like a lot of circuit style training to me:rolleyes: I want to plant that secret money tree in my yard:p What yoga did you do? WTG, on your workout today.

Amelia - lol, about the guy! Nice job, at the gym today.

Hallo to everyone else!

I still need to work my abs. BBL!
 
Hi guys. I just finished STS D11 back and triceps. I added the extended stretch. My triceps are so pumped right now, they feel so tight, lol. I was impressed with the weight I was able to lift. I had marked in my notes the last two times I did STS that the weights were a bit too heavy. This time I was able to do every rep, even though it burned I was able to finish. I also took the boys for another bike ride today and we played on the trampoline too, so I got a little cardio in today :). It looked like it was going to rain all day, but it never did, just overcast. I am expecting it to rain tomorrow, so I'm glad we got outside today.

Melissa- I am impressed that you do it straight through (tabatacise). I just cannot. I'll have to give a try one day. $150 a month for any gym membership is outrageous! What does he do for a living, lol.

Belinda- thanks for the link. I will definitely check it out, especially next week during the recovery week.

Deb- I know a lot of gyms charge extra for child care. It is crazy. That is why I love working out at home. . . with Cathe I feel like I have the best personal trainer anyway and I don't have to worry about what I look like. I could workout naked if I wanted. . . not that I ever would, lmao.

Amelia- sorry about your boss. She seems to be one of those power-tripping biatches. Sometimes working for a female boss is worse than a male boss. That has been my experience. Remember the movie Working Girl, lol. Sigourney Weaver was the boss from hell, lol.

Okay, off to shower!

Kristin
 
Hi there! Sorry to have been mia for so long. Life has been pretty crazy. I've managed to somewhat do workouts tho.
Belinda, how did you decide to do yoga every day for 30 days? Just curious, b/c it is such a great idea. I've eyed the Ultimate Yogi series a few times.
Kristin, omg test scores came out today and I'm drinking wine. Bad, very bad.
Amelia, your manager must be related to a few people I work with! Very annoying, self-absorbed folks. How did your darlings' day go?
Deb, I'll bet you're noticing amazing results from doing yoga. How is the gym search coming along?
I did a quick skim over the last few pages of posts but didn't go further back so need to catch up.
Did drop 2 sizes (month 2, day 1) yesterday and walked about 6 miles today.
Cookie
 
Good evening,

I also did my abs and walked the dogs.

Cookie - very time I do STS, I have lower back pain. I figured I needed the extra stretch. Those yoga wo are short. Nice job on drop 2 sizes. How do you like the program?

Kirstin - no problem! I really like her style. Erin, holds the stretches nice and long. I feel stretched out by the end. Good job, on D11 today.

Good night, everyone!
 
Hi,

Today I took a yoga class. I have to find a way & squeeze in STS this week:confused: It didn't rain till the end of the day but lots of rain coming our way tomorrow. I saw everyone playing Powerball today so I did too:)

Belinda - How far do you take your dogs for a walk? My ds was upset today because his gf's dog almost was hit by the UPS truck. They need to keep her on the leash.

Kristin - The other downfall of working out naked no place for the sweat to go:eek: I regret not recording my weights so I could look back. It's great that you can see your improvement.

Amelia - It's sad that your boss couldn't cover for 1/2 the time so you could have went too:( I always say what goes around comes around.

Melissa - I hope you had fun with yoga & lunch with your friend. Maybe you should offer to train your roommate for 1/2 the price he is paying;) Crossfit gyms are so expensive here too & it looks like work we do on Cathe dvds.

Cookie - Did you ever go on your beach vacation? I hope things get less stressful for you.

Goodnight:)
 
Hi girls! My stomach is killing me. I think it's from all the crappy eating I've done since I've been at my parents' house this week. Ugh what a horrible feeling :(. I'm planning on doing MMA Kickbox this afternoon when I get back to LI.

Belinda, I did Cathe's yoga max yesterday but the 2nd premix so it was only 30 min. Are you using youtube for your yoga workouts on the yoga challenge?

Kristin, awesome job on lifting heavier! That is such a great feeling. Also awesome getting in that cardio. Yuck, these next two days look like they're gonna be crappy weather. LOL he works in the SBU lab and brags about how he makes sooooo much money but the other night he told me how much he actually makes and my mouth dropped because especially in ny it really is not that much. I don't get it. Four months ago he bought a $1500 bike that he used three times literally. I mean, it's his money he can do what he wants but wasteful people who live way beyond their means annoy me for some reason lol.
And forget it: we have two fridges at the house and his produce takes up both of them, BUT 75% of it always goes bad because he buys it and never eats it all. It makes me mad because it would be nice if he had so much to share it so I wouldn't have to buy it and also to cut down on the waste. SMH.

Cookie, my mom was talking about the test scores last night. I really don't get it. I can't understand how these idiots think that this is a successful/good idea! It makes me so mad. Awesome job on dropping those dress sizes!

Deb, thank goodness the dog didnt get hit. Poor puppy :(. Hahah I tell the roomie to workout with me all the time and he always has an excuse. Typical man ;).

Amelia, your boss sound like a lazy selfish piece of work. I can't stand people like that! Nice job on the leg workout!
 
Good afternoon,

Today I will do cardio and yoga.

Debbie - we walked for 40 min:) I would be upset too:confused: I always keep my dogs on a leash.

Melissa - hope you feel better. Have fun with your KB wo later. I did the yoga from youtube. Love the short yoga sessions. I am thinking adding another challenge next week, for my legs? We shall see.

Waving Hi to everyone that follows. BBL
 
Good afternoon,

I have some exciting news to share with everyone-my daughter Alesia and her friend started their own little sawing business awhile ago and their some of her pillows were featured on a very popular blog Carrie Bradshaw Lied today. I am so proud of them. I am not trying to sell anything-I just wanted to share the news with you all as I am so proud-they got an entire blog post about their pillows:D Alesia gave me some outdoor pillows and I love them. If you are interested, here is the link to the blog - Carrie Bradshaw Lied: Spotted Pillows

I just finished Turbo Fire EZ45. That was a lot fun and a sweat fest! I also did Day 4 yoga challenge for the abs.


That's it for me today. Good night.
 
Hi,

Today I took a spin class at the gym. The one thing I notice when I go to the gym so much my appetite increases:confused: So this happens a couple of times of year when I'm working a parent is looking for a lost child and I get so nervous everytime. The Mom found her daughter (about 6 yrs. old) in the Coach handbag section:eek: she's starting young;)

Belinda - The pillows are beautiful & how awesome to be featured on the site. I love the patterns. The dogs must love their walks.

Kristin - Today the rain started late here, hopefully by you too.

Melissa - The other day my stomach felt that way because I ate too much:( I made a burger on a pretzel bun because I saw all those commercials but I'm glad it made me feel sick so it is out of my system. Maybe you roomate wouldn't mind if you eat some of the food before it went bad if you ask him:confused:

Waves hi to Amelia & Cookie

Goodnight:)
 
Good morning,

I will do D6 legs and Yoga Challenge Day 5 today.

Thanks Debbie! I am a very proud mama:D Glad your mom found the little girl! LOL, hiding in the Coach handbag section:D

Cookie - hope you had a fantastic day yesterday.

Waving Hi to Kirstin, Melissa and Amelia.

I will be back later. Have a great workout, everyone.
 
Hello girls! Today I have STS D2 on tap and maybe the tabata drills from Hard Strikes. It's a nasty day today but I actually don't mind cuz I got my books organized for the semester, made up a grocery list for next week, and went through my Pinterest recipes of healthy things to make (including paleo pb cups). Oh and I also whipped up a batch of protein bars too. Feeling pretty productive lol. Oh man but I am ADDICTED to the hautelook app. I just bought 2 pairs of sandals for $11 each; they were having an end of summer blowout and my sandals are all a few years old and look like it too :eek:

Belinda, congrats to Alesia and her pillows! That's so awesome and they are beautiful! I hooked up my wii to the tv in the living room and put youtube on there so now I can check out those yoga workouts on an actual tv ;)

Deb, that little girl knows what she wants! I'm glad her mom found her. Hahah I always ask him if I can have some and he always says "I'm gonna eat it all this time" and it never happens :confused:

Cookie, happy belated bday!!! How was your day?

Waving hello to Kristin and Amelia!

Have a great day/workouts everyone!
 
Hi girls. Sorry I was MIA yesterday. I took an unexpected rest day. DH was off and I took advantage my getting my hair colored and a well-needed pedicure. My feet were scary. Then when I got back, DH and the boys wanted to go out to dinner. We went to Applebee's. BLECH. I haven't gone there in years and the food was disappointing to say the least. I was pissed when we got the bill too, lol. Afterwards we went for a family bike ride and then watched Shark week. I was too tired to do anything else.

Today I did CF Low Impact Tabata premix and then STS D12, legs. I am done with MESO 1!!!!! Meso 2 is my favorite, so I am looking forward to it. I am looking forward to the rest week too. I will do some yoga and then cardio, no weights though. Today is DH and DS birthday. We have a baseball game and then I am having a few people over for pizza and ice cream cake. And that's that. . .

Oh, the NYS test scores came out yesterday. They were awful. I am not looking forward to going back to work. I wish I could win the lottery.

Melissa- do you have a heavy bag?!? I want one so bad. Maybe Santa will bring me one this year. That's a little crazy about your roommate. He won't share the food, but he'll let it go bad?

Cookie- Happy birthday! Hope you had a great day. The test scores are a joke. I don't see how the teachers and principals can allow this to continue. I feel like we need to take a stand at this point and refuse the testing. I do feel as if they are trying to end public education. . . How did King become the head guy when he has such little experience in CHARTER schools? I am sick of it. I am in the middle of all this with my job and then my two small boys. I saw the modules for first and second grade. . . I think it's nuts. I want my boys to learn the BASICS and learn them WELL.

Deb- glad the girl was found. When I worked in retail, I would see so many kids get lost. I got lost once and it was scary. What do we have to look forward to in the fall fashion?

Belinda- I saw the link on facebook. That is awesome!!

Off to shower.

Kristin
 
Good afternoon,

Yoga Day 5 Challenge and STS D6 legs done!

Kirstin - glad you found it. WOW, on your workout today.

Melissa - thanks about Aleisa! Good for you about the Wii.Enjoy!


I will be back tomorrow. I am beat.
 
Hi,

I took a yoga class today & had my hair colored too:) We did headstands against the mirrors again & with the instructors help I did it but would never ever try it alone. I worked up a sweat because of my nerves.

On a sad note my brothers first real gf died & was only 48:( I think it was lung cancer (need to check w/my SIL). My brother doesn't have facebook so a bunch of his friends have asked about him & she had some nice words to say about him. It looked like she was a great Mom.

Belinda - How long are the yoga workouts?

Kristin - It does seem like restaurant prices are getting higher:( It's hard on families. One trend I noticed so far is tribal, I'll keep you posted.

Melissa - I always feel guilty wasting food, usually try to freeze guess he doesn't feel that way:confused: The pb bars & protein bars sound good! I'll have to check out that app too.

Waves hi to Amelia & Cookie

Goodnight:)
