Commit to get FIT & Lean for August!

Good morning,

I am up early. Couldn't sleep.

I just ordered the bed. I am going for the gray one. Here is the look, I will copy for my guest bedroom.Clean, Contemporary Master Bedroom : Rooms : Home & Garden Television

Today my plan is to do: STS D9 legs, yoga and abs.

Debbie - Costco had very nice dryers;) and the price isn't bad. If my son isn't coming with us to the beach, I may leave the dogs with him:D? Maybe I will see your SIL at the beach.

I will be back later. Happy Hump Day.
 
Morning girls, Im off today thank goodness because I was ready to strangle somebody yesterday.

I've got exciting news!! I have an interview tomorrow morning at my husbands job:eek::eek::eek::eek: They start off 5 dollars more than what I'm making at my crappy job. And the benefits are a lot better, not to mention the raises. Please keep your fingers crossed that I get it. Im so nervous but excited too. This job could mean great things for my family:) And most importantly, its only 3 days a week ( 12 hr shifts) I will be off 4 days a week:cool:

I'm also excited about maybe putting in a 2 week notice. Oh the grin on my face if I get a chance too:cool:

Belinda- Love the bed. I viewed the other choice too and this one is prettier. Have fun with your workout today, superwomen:)

Melissa-Hope you enjoyed your rest day! Glad to hear the date went well. Yup...I remember the awkward dating days. It took a few days for my husband and I to feel comfortable with each other. Keep us updated and have a good workout today.

Debbie-Great job with your workout at the gym. When is your gym closing? If I remember correctly you haven't been there too long. Im thinking about changing my gym, there is one down the street (6miles away) that is a lot nicer then the one Im going too.

Kristin-Happy Belated birthday to your little ones!!! They grow up so very fast. My baby boy is 8 too. We watched some home videos yesterday of the kids and OMGosh I don't remember them being so tiny. It almost made me want another baby...almost;)

Hello to Cookie!! Hope your doing well.

No workout yesterday. I did an upper body premix Monday afternoon. Today I plan on getting in some cardio at the gym. Will bbl to report.:)
 
Hi all! I forgot to tell you that my workout Monday was BM2, I did the cardio (no blasts) plus the cardio bonus (all three put together) and then the abs. It was a good, fun workout. No workout yesterday. Today I plan on doing Slide and Glide and maybe bike ride with the kids.

So. . . DH has been hinting that he wants to have another baby. WTH? NO! I am sooooooo not having another baby. We just got done paying daycare and I don't want to go through all of that again. Diapers, bottles, midnight feedings. Plus, I took a year off for both my boys. With the new house we cannot afford for me to take off, so this kid would be shortchanged, lol. I don't think I could handle working with the infant year, and I don't know how other women do it. Anyway. . . to get him off the topic I did a guy trick. I said how about we get a dog for the boys? Well, he went for it. We went to an animal shelter on Monday night, but nothing appealed to all of us. Then we went to a kennel last night and found an adorable boxer pup. It was great with the boys and with us. They are great dogs with kids. . . but I had a boxer, a white one, mind you, but he was a bit crazy. Then again, my house at the time was pretty abusive. My dad was a bit abusive when we were younger to all of us, including the dog. We fell in love with this dog. I told my kids we needed to think about it. I mean, on the one hand I think every boy deserves to have a dog, a best friend, but on the other hand. . . What about when we go away for vacation? Day trips? When everyone is at work and school? It is a lot to think about. . .

They are winning me over though, lol.

Belinda- I've never been to Virginia beach, but I hear it is great. Have fun! Are you staying at a hotel or are you renting a place?

Deb- my mom's short-term memory is getting worse. She repeats herself A LOT. It is sad.

Melissa- yay on the date going well. . . has he called? I always try to take a rest day every week otherwise I burn out. Good for you to for listening to your body. You need to do that.

Amelia- at first I thought you wrote they start off at $5 an hour. I was like WTH? LOL. Good luck today! It's funny you were thinking how you almost want another baby and I am thinking of getting a chastity belt, lol.

Okay, bbl,

Kristin
 
Good afternoon,

I will do STS D9 today and yoga. Maybe abs:D

Amelia - keeping my fingers crossed.

Kirstin - another baby:eek: LOL, about the guy trick:p That's funny! We have 3 sometimes 4 dogs, they are a lot of work. Love my dogs. Like you said, what to do when you go on vacation? Well, we bought an RV, so we bring the dogs with us. My son's dog is a female, she pees constantly in the house. I have to replace all the carpet in the house. My German Shepard only throws up on the carpet:eek: not on the tile floors/wood floors. They are a lot of work! Even going to the vet is expensive. It's a lot to think about..

I will be back later.
 
Hello girls! Today I did P90X plyos. I still think Cathe's HIITs are a lot harder than that one. I've been in a serious funk lately and I don't know why. I just feel down. Today I started crying for no reason :confused: could be TOTM, who knows! Hopefully it'll blow over.

Belinda, that is a cute setup for the bedroom! Now all you need are some of Alesia's pillows to complete it ;)

Deb, yeah dryers are so expensive! I guess it's better than burning the house down though :eek: awesome workout today!

Amelia, that is such awesome news about the interview!!! Fingers are crossed and prayers have been said! You will rock, just make sure to come back here and tell us all about it. Lol yeah I'm not good at the whole dating thing; I don't like not knowing what's going on, I'm very impatient haha.

Kristin, you're right: dogs are very intensive but maybe a neighbor or someone can walk and feed him when you go away? Hey if you need, I'll do it for you! And boxers are so cute. I think the environment it's brought up in has a lot to do with the dog's temperament so I think he will do just fine in your house :). Ugh no he hasn't called and I'm freaking out. So the thing is we met online and I noticed he updated his profile with a new pic so I called my BFF like a hot mess, cuz now I'm like wtf I guess he's looking for other girls cuz why else would he update his profile? I don't get it, I really don't. I mean, I get that we only went out twice and we aren't technically dating but still, I was under the impression that it went well. Maybe that's why he didnt kiss me, because he isn't interested :(

Have a great night girls!! Be back tomorrow :)
 
Good morning,

I was sick all day long yesterday. My stomach is upset and my throat is killing me.Not sure, what is is all about:confused: We are leaving this afternoon for the beach. I am so excited.

I will do D9 and yoga today.

Kirstin - to answer your question, we are taking the RV to the beach. We have reservation at Fort Story (Navel base). Hope I didn't talked you out of getting a dog:eek: my sister had a boxer, they are very cute!

Melissa - (((HUGS))) hope it will blow over soon. Have fun with your workout today. I would like to keep the guest bedroom in gray and white. Aleisa's pillow would look amazing.

Waving Hi to everyone that checks in after me.

I will be back later.
 
Hello ladies! Today I did P90X shoulders & arms (love that workout) and ab ripper x. ARX always makes me feel like a spaz. It's so hard!! After I finish eating I have to go pick up my kits for the weekend; I'm doing Avion tequila and cupcake wines. I'm very excited about the wine, especially since I'm running low ;)

Belinda, I hope you feel better before you get to the beach!! Sending healthy vibes your way.

Amelia, I'm dying to know how your interview went, girl! I've been thinking about you all day lol

Hi Deb, Kristin, and Cookie! Have a great day!!
 
Hi guys. Sorry I was MIA. I was very busy getting a new boxer puppy, lol. He is soooooo cute. His name is Baxter and he is adorable. My boys are in love with him. We brought him home last night and since the moment everyone was awake this morning it was all about the dog. I got up first at 5, I couldn't sleep. I was worried I would find messes in the crate, but the dog held it in. He did pee a bit when I opened the crate, probably because he needed to go so bad, but I stopped him and brought him outside to finish, which he did. The puppy is exhausted. I already taught him SIT and COME. We walked him four times (short walks down the block and back) and played with him in the backyard. Housebreaking is a bit stressful for me. He only had on accident this morning, but that is because I kept taking him outside every 20 minutes trying to get him to go in his designated spot. Needless to say, no workout the last two days. I did do Yoga Max today and it felt good. Looking forward to Meso 2 next week. My right hipside has been bothering me for the last few days and now the right shoulder/neck is bothering me too. I wonder if it is from the way I've been sleeping.

Anyway. . .

Belinda- although you scared me a bit, I got one anyway. I couldn't say no once my boys thought we were getting one it was a done deal. They are so happy. I hope you are feeling better and getting to enjoy your trip to Virginia Beach!

Melissa- are you mixing P90X with STS? That is awesome! I am curious about the results! That stinks about that guy. Sorry you've been feeling down. TOTM and hormones just stink. If I have to be reincarnated in the next life I want to be a MAN! Cupcakes wine. . . oh I need to try that!

Deb- enjoying your new dryer yet?

Waving hello to Amelia and Cookie!

Kristin
 
Hi,

Sorry I was MIA yesterday, DS called me & ask me to go to a funeral for his ex-gf's cousin who was only 24 yrs old. It was tough to handle:( I went to work afterwards & didn't end up getting home until after 10PM.

I finally did D19 c,s & tri's tonight. I doubled up on work today so I can take off tomorrow & go to the beach with DH.

Belinda - I like the bed & does the view come with it;) I hope your stomach is feeling better. Enjoy your trip!

Kristin - I'm so excited about the puppy for you. After a few weeks you'll love having a puppy & wonder why you didn't get one sooner. Lucy (gf's dog) is finally going outside to the bathroom.

Amelia - Keeping my fingers crossed & wish I could see the look on your bosses face when you give notice:eek: My gym closes 8/31:( I hope to get over to the YMCA & sign up with the deal they are giving us.

Melissa - Cupcake wine sounds yummy! I really don't know how that works but would you consider calling him:confused: I love that workout too:)

Cookie - I hope everything is ok with you.

Goodnight:)
 
Morning girls,

Happy TGIF, im off tomorrow. Yay! I have to work Sunday - Tuesday though but who cares, im off tomorrow;)

So...the interview went well I think. I feel like I answered all the questions to the best of my ability and the interviewer seemed satisfied with my answers. I should get a yay or a nah within two weeks. I did find out that there hiring 25 people so I've got a pretty good chance:)

I've been so lazy this week. The only workout was on Monday:confused: I plan on doing something after work and for the next few days. Its time to tighten up on my eating as well. One thing I won't miss about my job is being around all the tempting food. Its hard to eat healthy when your surrounded by food bliss!

ok, will catch up later with you guys. Have a great Friday:)
 
Good morning ladies! I have some serious upper body and abs DOMS today from yesterday's workout. I guess I did something right lol. Today I'm gonna do the first half of Yoga X; I can't bring myself to do the full workout. 90 min of yoga is just waaaaaaay too much for me. Then I'm doing the Cupcake wine tasting in the afternoon :D. I'm excited cuz they gave me the Red Velvet as one of the varietals and I love that wine; it's a red blend.

That guy actually called me yesterday so I guess that's a good sign? I dunno, I'm just bad at this whole dating thing in general. I've never done the whole "seeing each other" thing, it usually just wound up after the first date we were exclusive. I guess I'm old fashioned :eek:

Kristin, awwww you got the puppy!!! That is so awesome :). And Baxter is a great name. He's pretty smart to have learned those commands already! My parents' dog is 10 and he only knows sit lol. Yeah, I couldn't decide which one to do so I'm alternating 1 week of STS with 1 week of P90X. Hopefully the results will be good :eek:

Deb, I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. That is awful, so young. Have fun at the beach, that is a perfect way to unwind.

Amelia, I'm so happy for you that the interview went well! That is awesome, and 25 hires is a great number. Have a great workout!

Hi Belinda & Cookie! TGIF!!
 
Hi everyone. Everything is going fairly well here in puppy land. The dog slept in his crate all night. I got up at 5:30 to take him out. He did have one mess in his crate. When DH took him out for the last time he peed but did not poop. I told DH he should keep him out until he does both, but of course being a MAN he did not listen. I should have woken his sorry butt up to clean the crate. Anyway. . . all is going well besides that. My neighbor next door that I met when I first moved in has a boxer and she saw our puppy while I was walking him today so she gave me some quick tips and has some books she said she'll give me.

I just finished SLide and Glide, cardio plus abs premix. I grabbed a quick shower and now I am going to take the puppy outside again. This weekend we have a lot of parties and things. I'm not sure how we are managing this, but we shall see.

Melissa- 90 minutes of Yoga?!? I would not be able to do it that long either, lol. Yoga Max seems long to me, lol. The dog seems to be pretty smart. DH is concerned because he says you can tell the dog thinks of me as the master, but not him yet. I told him I've done all the training so far, kind of like when we had babies, lol. He better get more involved, haha.

Amelia- glad the interview went well. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you. I saw your post in the OD. Keep your head up. Every day is a new day. Just tell yourself you are going to do SOMETHING, whether it be a ten minute walk or a short premix. Don't beat yourself up so much.

Deb- it's hard to go to a funeral for someone so young. It's tragic. I'm loving the puppy. I just need to get him fully housebroken as fast as possible, lol.

Waving hello to Belinda and Cookie.

Kristin
 
Yoga X done! That vinyasa stuff is no joke. I was sweating bullets. I can't even imagine doing a whole other 45 min of it :confused:

Kristin, it seems like the puppy is dong well so far with the crate training. Getting them not to poop in the house took awhile but he will get it. He seems really smart! Lol @you being the master of the puppy!!
 
Morning girls, Im off work today so I plan on getting in a good workout.

BBL to report and to catch up on personals.
 
Hi,

A busy weekend for us too. Yesterday the beach was really nice the weather was perfect. Today we went to my Mom's to celebrate my brothers birthday. We had a lot of laughs. Just too much beach traffic yesterday & today:) Not as lucky as Kristin & Melissa to live so close;)

No workout but a yoga dvd I ordered just came in so while DH is showering going to give it a try.

Belinda - I hope your enjoying the beach:)

Kristin - It's really good that you have the puppy before school starts it gives you time to get a routine down. The boys must love him. That was so nice of your neighbor.

Amelia - I hope you had a good workout.

Cookie - Hi

Goodnight:)
 
Morning girls,

Yesterday was a 40 min cardio at the gym. Today will be the same thing.

Im kinda upset right now. I just got an email explaining why I didn't get the position I had an interview for :( my husband is going to talk to the HR manager tomorrow and see why. oh well, guess I keep looking.

Gotta get ready for work now. I'm sorry to be so bad with personals:(
 
Busy weekend. Yesterday I had a kid's birthday party to go to and then a bunch of friends stopped by to see the dog and stayed for a BBQ. Today I did All Out. Tomorrow I start Meso 2!!!!

Things with Baxter, the boxer puppy, are going well. We were gone for 3.5 hours for the party and he was fine in his crate. I am falling in love with this dog. He already gets excited to see all of us in the morning. He fits right into our family.

Anyway. . . don't have time for personals. Going to a party. Getting dressed now. It is a five minutes away so we will come back to check on the dog periodically.

BB tomorrow.

Kristin

P.S. sorry to hear about the job. Keep looking and putting yourself out there. Maybe you are meant for something better :)
 
Hi,

I did a barr workout today. I bought a set called Barr 3 workouts on QVC they were a good price & they have a studio in my town but the classes are so expensive (even on Groupon) so the DVDs were a good deal not Cathe though:(

For the next 2 week I'm covering for the NYC Macy's girl (3x a week). I sort of regret it because I would rather have the days off in the summer, winter I don't mind.

Belinda - Wondering when you get back.

Kristin - That is the best part of a dog unconditional love & always so happy to see you when you wake up & come home:) Love coming home to my part-time dog Lucy. She doesn't have a tail but she wags her body;)

Melissa - Forgot to post to you yesterday that I haven't picked up Yoga X in years so thinking I should try it again & see if I see any difference. I don't think I could do the full tape either 90 minutes?:confused:

Amelia - I wonder if it could have just been a husband/wife kind of rule. But I'm sure you will find the perfect fit soon.

Cookie - Hi

Goodnight:)
 
Sorry for being mia.
Belinda, nice bed! How was your trip?
Amelia, sorry you got that email! That's so disappointing.
Melissa, great job with your workouts. I enjoy those dry red wines.
Kristin, a puppy! And what a great name for a dog. My family teases me all the time about my love for dogs, but it is something I can totally defend.
Deb, sorry about such a young loss. Too sad. How was the beach?
Ok, I've been working out, did a strength wo this morning. On my way to work. Had my beach vacation, but spent at least half of it working, and now am feeling resentful that I did. Crazy huh? Trying to think about being grateful I have a job, but have spent some time thinking about that too. As you know I requested a transfer but it looks like I'll be doing the same the last few years... juggling too many different ones. I like work, just not this much of it.
Cookie
 
Good morning,

I am back since last night. We had a nice relaxing, long weekend. Weather wasn't so great on Saturday, but we still had a blast. We plan on going on another road trip in 2 weeks:D

Having a lot of sinus problems last view days.. My noise is stuffed up and my throat is killing me. That explains why I am so tired lately:confused:

Cookie - sorry about you having to work on your vacation:confused: Not a vacation, really? Hope something else will open up for you soon.

Kirstin - I didn't mean to scar you:p Love the name, so great for a dog. Did you get the dog from a shelter? Can't remember?

Debbie - I am gonna have to check them out on QVC? Yoga dvds aren't cheap.

Amelia - sorry about the job. Hang in there.

Melissa - I never done that yoga X....that's a long time. I need to pull that one out soon. I think after STS, I will do P90X.

Today I start STS Week 4 D10.

I will be back after my workout. Have a great day.
