Good morning Lori and all who follows,

have fun with your training sessions and run today.

[helened]

Morning all...

Belinda: Do you think you will do the two months of Insanity. One hour workouts You the woman. Are you needing new clothes again or not yet Glad you are taking your vitamins. That explains it then. LOL. I just reconnected with my boss from when I worked in Germany. He is now in Munich. Thought of visiting both of you.

Heidi: You managed to make this entire thread green with envy with that little comment. Quite a bomb. Living by Epcot..... LOL. Great job on your workout. A bit about me just in case. Married, work, 2 small kids (DD will be 4 soon and DS is 6). I'm in upstate NY and after I joined this thread I found out I lived by Cookie and Iris. I see Iris somewhat regularly actually. It's been so much fun. We talk workout stuff which my DH cares not much for. LOL. My big battle is with food and lately getting my workouts in. I just need a break and I have one coming soon .... to FL woohoo (Ft. Myers area).

Kristin: LOL yep, I for sure have my count down. I think my sanity is going at the moment. Vacation cannot come soon enough. And it is so cold. When I went to pick up the kids yesterday the Bank nearby said it was 15F. Brrrr. Kids don't seem to mind as much as their mom though. LOL

Melissa: ROFLMAO. You are going to be the most popular girl in school. Maybe you can throw tasting parties. "Can you help me with my assignment? I have some chocolate Vodka you can try." I can hear it from here. Swear to god, I'm not the one drinking the Vodka as I write this. Still just coffee at this hour. LOL.

Lori: How is DS' speech going by the way? How much longer do you have to do that for? You are my hero by the way. (Well everybody on this thread is ) I just feel so overwhelmed and when I think of what everyone else has to do I just bite the bullet and get to it. There is no other way. Kind of funny when you think about it that you would call yesterday a "rest" day. Bet you did anything but

Hi to everyone else.

Nothing new on my end. This is my morning treat. Reading and trying to catch up with you ladies. I am having a hard time working out in the morning. I am wondering if it's because my basement is really cold right now (no heat) so it's really hard on waking up. I have a little space heater but still.... Maybe I'll put a little timer on it. If anyone has spare motivation for food and workouts at this time of the year, send it my way

Have a rocking hump day everyone!

Morning ladies! Great job on the workouts so far, yesterdays intensity became one of my new favs. Low impact hiit is about the greatest thing ever for me!! It was tough but so much fun and I will spend today walking in the Florida "cold" at Epcot.

Helen, I would send some of my motivation if I could figure out how to get it out lol. Cut yourself some slack and remember this time of year is always difficult and if all you do is maintain and not lose you're still doing better than most people. When the frantic holiday season is over there will be more time to get your focus where you want it to be

A bit on myself: live in ormond beach Fl originally from colorado. One adorable girl who is 3 1/2. Her daddy and I reently broke up but I think it was for the best. So for now I'm a single mom, thankfully my family is here to help, I work at starbucks (8yrs now) and recently became a massage therapist. I workout to stay sane as often as I can.

Everyone have a wonderful day!!

 

[stepitup]

Howdy girls!

I can't even remember the last time I checked in...this is becoming a really bad habit. Well, this will only be a brief return...vacation starts tomorrow and we won't be back until New Year's day. Resolution #1...get back to regular check ins! LOL!

So, my eating has been a bit messy, but the workouts have been decent...I missed one cardio session this week because I'm having trouble staying asleep and had no energy. Hope to put in some good wos on vacay though. Btw, we are in Aruba for 9 days and Puerto Rico for 7. Looking forward to soaking up some sun. Today's wo was M3 week 2 Squat Rack Legs...not getting as many DOMs as I did with M1 and M2

Belinda - I see you are moving right along with Insanity! So, how would you rate this routine? One of your toughest ever?

Lori - How have your sessions been going? Have you picked up any new clients?

Helene - Like you my gym/basement is freezing in the morning...It's usually about 62. I wear a sweatshirt during the warm up and first few exercises. After that, I'm pretty warm and don't notice the cold.

Heidi - Welcome to the check in!! You will love it here I've been dieing to try the low impact hiit!!! So you loved it huh?? Trying it out is at the top of my to do list once I get back home. So...a little on me...I have two girls, 3 (turning 4 on 12/28) and 8 and a DSD who is 20 and let's say...a handful at times. We live in northern NJ but hoping to make our way to TX (that's where most of my family lives) one of these days. You'll see me dropping off the check in every now and again, usually due to something stressful going on in my life.

Hello to everyone that follows...miss you guys!

 

[gidget1978]

Ahhh...a few mins to myself. My manager stepped out of the office. Its quit boring here today. I have 90 mins to punch and then I am outta here. A very slim chance that I will get called out tonight. Its been really foggy (this weather is weird!) and planes tend to go elsewhere when the weather is crap.

So...I had my sister shopping for me yesterday. She is travelling for work and I had her visit a lulu lemon for me. Anyone know what I am talking about? I mentioned it on another thread and no one knew anything about it. Maybe it isn't as big in the us as it is in canada. Anyway...I gave her a budget but she went over it. It is very expensive workout clothes but soooo nice! She picked up two outfits and a sweater....$450! Um...now I have to pay her back! LOL DH will give me most of it for Christmas anyway. I can't wait to get it.

Belinda** Nice workout!!! Are you tired of picking up after the kids? LOL

Helene** Im your HERO! How sweet is that!?? LOL My life is much crazier then I ever thought possible. Its to the point where I can't take anymore clients. I won't be doing anyone any favors. I enjoy training people early in the morning but not so much after work. I like going home and just doing what needs to be done, not working out. DS has one more apt for a while. He has come along way but still isn't at the level he should be at. I am just really glad that he was a Jan baby and not a Dec baby....he soooo isn't ready for school!

Trish** I didn't know you were going on vaca! How exciting!!! I could use some of that sun right now. I have atleast 4 people who want to start in the new year but I need to finish my course as well so in my downtime I will be finishing that and when its time to study I will probably have to stop training for alittle while.

Heidi** Thats much easier. Typing your fill name was hard! I have little boy who will soon be 4. He is quit the cutie if I do say so myself!

I may bbl!

Lori

Uugghhh! I'm finally out of work and on my way home. Forgot to mention my bff got us tix to see Prince tonight so i'm excited about that. Always liked his music, especially the old stuff.

Lori - ^5 on the fog!! I know lululemon! Believe it or not, I first became aware of it because Michelle Obama wears a lot of their stuff. Very cute! They also have a pretty good online clearance area.

Well, I may not get another check in before the holiday so everyone have a Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!!

 

[dr.mel_PT]

Hi ladies!

I did STS disc 26 today and abs from 4DS Step. My eating has been pretty good considering I started baking for Christmas. Let's see if it stays on par after the weekend

Belinda, great workout (as always!!)

Helene, you are a GENIOUS!! I didn't even think of bribing classmates with free booze. Hmm, this could turn into a pretty good deal lol! I'm sending you some motivation/workout vibes!

Heidi, how was Epcot? Hope you had fun! You are so right; it's totally ok to maintain over the holidays. God knows that is hard to do!! We can do it though! Ok, a little about me: I met Cookie and Kristin on the RT this summer and Cookie invited us to join this thread. It's such a great group, totally motivating!! I am single and just moved back in with my parents because I am leaving my hell hole job and going back to school FT in Jan to pursue physical therapy. So when we talk about the countdown, I have 2: 1 for quitting time and 1 for the last day at the hole. I also work part time doing liquor tastings around the area. I love my job! I meet some really interesting people and get to keep all the unfinished booze, so my house looks like a bar storage room right now lol.

Trish, glad you're back! Oh my bf would be so jealous that you're seeing Prince! He is a huge fan. If I had known he was touring I would've tried to get tickets for a Christmas gift. Oh well And I don't think I need to tell you how jealous I am that you will be enjoying warm weather for the next 2 weeks Have a great vacation and wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year too!

Lori, never heard of lululemon. I could never afford it anyway from the way it sounds lol

Ready for some hole drama? So when did I decline the invitation to the holiday party? 3 weeks ago? And why did I decline? Oh yeah because I have a 2nd job being that I took a 15% paycut that they never gave us back. So apparently my boss is ticked that I'm not going and she was talking behind my back calling me a LIAR!!!!!!! She thinks I made up the whole liquor thing just to get out of it. So I said "Really, why would I waste a sin on this place and lie? If this is the biggest thing you're worried about, get a life because I would love to have my main problem be something this petty." Over a freaking Christmas party?! OI!

Evening!
Belinda, have your children already recovered from jet lag? Did they recognize you? You are amazing.
Lori, glad you're able to juggle so many things. But then, you've probably already have your Christmas gifts bought and wrapped too. Glad your ds has had improvement from the speech lessons.
Helene, I'm so hating this cold. I'm wearing so many layers I feel like the little brother in A Christmas Story. I dislike going in the basement when it's so cold also, but like Trish I wear a sweatshirt til I'm in the wo.
Trish, I'd love your vacation. It sounds wonderful, and warm! Hope you relax and enjoy it. Is your dsd still w/her friend?
Amelia, how's work going? Can't be too much longer.
Melissa, that's terrific about SB being near the liquor. Oh wait, that's redundant - a college and booze. Sometimes it seems others don't have enough that they can perseverate on others so much.
Kristin, the black ice is also bad up here. I live in a rural area so the snow looks nice until you have to drive in it. I just heard tonight that Scrooge means to squeeze. That old guy must have squeezed every last pound out of poor Bob Cratchit and then squeezed all the fun out of his own life.
Heidi welcome. I'm the old lady of the group. My kids range in age from 17-27. Right now only my youngest is home along with an exchange student for the school year. One of my sons arrived home last night after being away for a year.
Deb, hope you're okay. I'm going to try calling you tomorrow.
The rotation called for Step Blast but did Athletic Step instead.
Cookie

Good evening,

Cookie - you are funny! The kids recognized me right away. They are doing much better this time with the jet lag. I am sure, you and your son have a lot to catch up on. Enjoy your time with your family. Nice job, on AS today.

Helene - are you coming to Germany? You should! I would love to meet you! I will do the 2 month of Insanity, I have 6 more weeks to go. My eating is all ove the place too, so don't feel to bad!

Heidi - love Intensity! I am German. My DH is in the Army, I met him 28 years ago in Nuerberg/Germany. We are stationed in Grafenwoerh/Germany. I have 2 kids, my son is 21(he goes to collage in Texas) and my DD is 25 (works in DC). They both here for the holidays, we are having so much fun.

Trish - yeah, Insanity is one of the toughest workouts. I do have to say they are a lot of fun. Enjoy your vacation. Have fun with Prince tonight;
　
Lori - we are hardly home, so there isn't that much picking up.never heard of lululemon! I am sure, my DD does
　
Melissa - nice job, on D26 & abs!

Hallo to Amelia and Debbie! Hope I didn't miss anyone, if I did I am sorry!

Good night, ladies!
