Commit to get FIT & LEAN for December!

Good evening ladies! Happy Friday! I had a great day at work, but it was as if every minute was an hour, and every hour, a day, lol. I don't know who was more excited to begin Christmas vacation, me or my students, lol. Anyway, TOTM finally came and so I was feeling very lethargic yesterday and today. Yesterday I did not work out and today I was too tired to do STS TB. I settled for TBT, total body timesaver premix. That is a great premix. You do one round of each triset. It went fast and I felt a good burn in all muscles. Sweet!

My eating had been out of control this week. I think the combination of holiday treats and TOTM approaching. Anyway. .. I am going to keep track of food after Christmas.

Deb- you made it to Friday! Hope you had a good day at work. Now hopefully things slow down? Do you work on Christmas Eve?

Cookie- a student that I had a few years ago (now at the high school) made a threat yesterday saying that what he planned on doing tomorrow (meaning today) would make Sandy Hook look like nothing. Scary. The police are involved. He is suspended, not sure if an arrest was made yet. He was always avery good student, but I never saw him with friends. It was sad to hear this.

Belinda- What does KCM stand for? I am drawing a blank, lol. Glad you decided to keep the dvds. How is your foot? BTW my cousin had the invisible fence and it worked for her dog.

Amelia- nice workout. love the premixes on that one.

Okay, night all!

Hello all. So because I did a weight workout yesterday, I didn't want to do a circuit today. I changed it up. I did AT, the cardio premix. Then I did TTM, triple tabata premix, oh my!

We are going to our friend's house later to take the kids Christmas caroling. Should be fun!

'Evening!
Belinda, bet you'll be happy you kept the preorder! We've had Invisible Fence for about 22 years and it was fine til a few months ago. Guess we need a new box and then new collars. We should be okay in about a week. This time w/o it has made me appreciate it a lot more. This dog from the shelter is sure costing a lot.
Kristin, you made it thru. Do you have everything wrapped. So sad about your former student. Hopefully he will get help.
Lori, hope all is well.
Amelia, I'm working on a panettonne. Do you sell them? Lots of steps in the making of it. Which KCM do you have?
Deb, hope you evaded those terrible steppers. The new one from Leah Sarago is really good - set, music, and her personality shines thru. You get a daily workout just with your job.
DD and son's girlfriend gave me a gift card for a massage for my birthday (in August!). Finally went today and had a hot stone/deep tissue one. OMG! Highly recommend one to all. Think I'll go for another in two months time. Middle son is arriving shortly; youngest one came late last night and dd the day before. Soon they should all be here. Went to a holiday party last evening before son pick up.

Hi,

Yesterday wasn't too bad but I pushed myself & went to a NJ mall after going to NYC my boss thinks I'm crazy but I want to just do computer work on Christmas eve & things around the house.

If last week wasn't bad enough we woke up this morning with a phone call that my MIL fell down, her blood pressure is really high so they are keeping her at the hospital we spent a good part of the day at the hospital:(

Well hopefully I'll get a workout in before Chrismtmas but I do get inspiration from hearing about your workouts:)

Belinda - I'm happy you are keeping the workouts . . . forgot they are in one case. Going to the Dr. after the holidays gives you more time to heal.

Kristin - Yay, Christmas vacation! Great workouts . . . I hope your vocals are ready tonight it's so coldddddd;).

Amelia - I went to the foodstore tonight and it was empty but wouldn't you know it I forgot something:eek: Do you do your foodshopping after work so you don't have to go back to the store on your day off?

Cookie - We had/have an electric fence but when the kids were little & the dog was young she would take the shock to play with the kids if they were at the neighbors house. I know you can increase the shock but I just couldn't. I think your dogs are going to miss you walking them;) Have fun with your family.

Goodnight:)
 
Morning girls,

I took the last two days off from workouts and it feels weird. I almost got in one last night but my house needed some TLC so I did some cleaningmax:p I cleaned my living room, kitchen and one bathroom.

Today I will workout after work, after grocery shopping...before bed. I kinda like how it feels to get in a good workout before bed.

Belinda-Im glad you decided to not cancel the preorder, I too noticed all the jumping but we can always modify those movements. Hows your foot doing?

Deb-I will be praying for your MIL. Hope she is ok. Wow, your quite adventurous going to a mall a few days before Christmas but I understand why. I would do the same thing if I was in your line of work. LOL at you forgetting something at the foodstore, yep...I do that a lot. On my days off I try my best to not step foot in at my job/grocery store. We usually get food one day at week at walmart...but lately here walmart isn't carrying everything we need so I have been shopping on my lunch break at my grocery store:confused:

Kristin-Sounds like you had a fun evening planned yesterday and good job on your workout. Nice...

Cookie-Mmmm panettonne sounds delish. The only thing we have remotely close to a panettonne is raisin bread:eek: Your massage sounds amazing..and what a nice gift from your DD and son's GF. I don't think I have anymore KCM workouts? I use to have two of them but sold them after DH was laid off back in 09'.

Hello to Lori...hope your doing well, I saw your tree on FB...so pretty!

ok girls. I will check back in tonight after my workout:) time to go to work now.
 
Morning girls,

Sorry for not checking in since Friday. Had so much to do and so little time. I never did Cycle Max on Friday, ran out of time. Did the Expess premix yesterday.

Cookie - we don't have invisible fences in Germany. I wasn't used to them until we moved to VW. Everyone here has it. They make me nerves when a bitbull sits on the other side, you never know. Believe it or not our yard is fenced and has an invisible fence. I never used it, because I don't trust it, lol. I love getting a hot stone/deep tissue massage. Glad you enjoyed it.

Kirstin - I miss those kids Chrismas caroling. Hope you had fun. Your workouts look fantasic. KCM stands for Kelly Coffey Meyer. I should sell all mine, never use them.

Amelia - all that jumping kinda scared me too. I did a lot of cleaning yesterday too. My foot is getting better, still have a lot of pain in my right foot. How is yours doing?

Debbie - Oh No! I will keep your MIL in my prayers too. Hope she is ok! I will stop buying anymore workout dvds for awhile. I do have enough.

Lori - check in when you have time,girl! We miss you. Hope all went well with your move. How are you and the kids doing?

Happy Sunday, everyone.
 
4ds LIS done this afternoon. Boy was I breathing hard, I increased my step to one riser ( been using the platform only) and it really kicked it up a notch:confused: I felt like I needed to be hooked up to oxygen afterwards! :eek:

Belinda-Nice job with your workout yesterday! My right foot is my problem too. PF comes and goes with it. Right now its ok but two days ago I was limping:eek:

Hello to everyone. Have a great sunday
 
Good evening,

I did D30 this evening. Been playing the Wii with my family, now I am beat:)

Amelia - good job with 4DS LIS. I use 1 riser and it kicks my butt. I am still in pain, I need to go see the doc again after the holiday's. My 2 weeks are almost up:( it's gotten a little better as soon as I walk a little to much I am hurting again:eek: Just don't get it?

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

I cooked almost all day today & my legs are hurting. I needed to stop at my SILS today & saw her new grandson (so cute) he was so fun to hold almost was able to feed him but he fell asleep in my arms.

DS went to the mall today & he said it was so crowded but every year he waits till the last minute.

Belinda - I hope you won at Wii:) Does biking hurt your foot?

Amelia - Kudos on getting your workouts in! I need to do cleanmax tomorrow & bake some goodies.

Kristin - How did the caroling go?

Cookie - The hot rock massage sounds awesome, it is on my to do list;)

Lori - Did you move yet?

Goodnight:)
 
Hi everyone! Merry Christmas Eve!!!!

Yesterday I did do a workout, although I was a bit hungover :rolleyes:. I did KM low impact premix. I couldn't do a high intensity workout yesterday. . . I think I would have died, but I forced myself to "DO something!"

I will be back later to catch up on personals. Running around this morning. Then more baking. Then working out and relaxing this evening!

See you later ;)

Kristin
 
Merry Chrismas Eve everyone,

Not sure if I get a workout in today? Still have to make run to the mall:confused:

Kristin - good job getting your workout in;) have fun backing today.

Debbie - Aleisa and DH won in golf;) DS and I were close:eek: DH plays golf a lot! The bike ride didn't hurt my foot, I didn't do the standing part! But something else is hurting for the last 2 day's:confused: LOL! What did you cook? Time to relax. Baby's are so cute:)

Waving Hi to everyone that follows. Hope I get a workout in later this afternoon.
 
Hello everyone. Well, I am coming down with a cold, darn it. Everyone has been sick at work and I thought that I was in the clear, but I thought too soon. DH got it first, now me :(. I still did a workout though. I have to keep up because of all the goodies I plan on having. I did CF, Low impact tabata premix and then TBT, TB timesaver premix. I totalled over 600 calories! Hopefully, I sweat some of this cold out. Anyway. . .

I did some baking today and we are having a pork roast for Christmas Eve dinner. My two DSs are beyond excited. They are so filled with anticipation, they are just so wired, lol. Hopefully they will go to sleep tonight. Last night, my older DH couldn't sleep because he was so excited. He kept coming out of his bedroom and asking for one of us to stay with him. I started to get annoyed and then I thought about those 20 little angels from sandy Hook. How lucky am I that I can still rub my son's back and send him to sleep. It took the feeling of being annoyed right out of me.

Belinda- you are brave going to the mall on Christmas Eve. The malls here are so crowded, you have to spend 45 minutes looking for a parking spot!

Deb- so cute about your grand-nephew. The caroling was so much fun, but cold, lol. The liquor warmed me right up though ;)Sorry to hear about your MIL.

Amelia- don't beat yourself up about missing out on workouts. January is around the corner and we'll be on a fitness train to keep our butts back into shape ;)

Cookie- just about everything is wrapped. After dinner tonight I plan on relaxing until the boys are in bed. I am feeling achy.

Okay, Merry Christmas everyone! Enjoy your loved ones and be merry! Let's agree to not feel guilty over the goodies we eat. Life is short and we need to enjoy the holidays :)

Kristin
 
'Happy Christmas Eve!
Belinda, I enjoy watching golf, only I'm a pitiful player. How was the mall today?
Kristin, hope you feel better soon. Your workouts should have sweated it right out of you. That was a lot. Good thinking to keep things in perspective.
Amelia, bet your little ones are excited.
Lori, thinking of you.
Deb, sorry to hear about your mil. How is she doing now? Do you have a traditional meal you serve on Christmas Eve?
Walked the pup 3 miles on the road today in addition to around and around the field. Now my foot is killing me. Of course, it could also be the 1.75 hours I stood at Verizon while they straightened out my account. What a mess. Oh well, it is over. Baking done and stuffed shells in oven. Appetizers are ready. Just waiting for my boys to come bac from visiting friends. Going to do some squats while waiting.
Merry Christmas!
Cookie
 
Merry Christmas,

I decited to do AB the 30 min premix, what a mistake! My foot is killing me since last night. I been resting my foot since 2 weeks, I am not getting any better, WTH? I guess, I have to stick with the bike for now.

I will do D31 and abs.

Cookie - the mall wasn't to bad. We went very early,lol. Enjoy your time with your boys.

Kirstin - I think Aleisa is coming down with soemthing too. Hope you feel better soon. Nice cal burn yesterday.
The mall in DC were not that crowded, it got croweded when we left. Parking wasn't a probleme.:eek:

Happy Holidays, everyone.
 
Hi,

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

It feels like I haven't checked in for a long time. Christmas was fun, but happy it is over. I made lasagna & sauce and overindulged in cookies & sweets. There is a workout out there calling my name but not sure if I can fit it in till Wednesday. Tomorrow I'll have to deal with the day after Christmas in NYC store!

I was having some stress with my older DS but both DH & younger DS really pulled through it was the best Christmas gift they gave me. Ugh, bought the wrong sizes for younger DS & need to do returns his weight keeps going up because he is putting on muscle.

Belinda - Wondering if there something else going on with your foot:( Did they do x-rays?

Kristin - How exciting you now have the week off!!! Sounds like you guys had a great Christmas. Christmas morning is so exciting at that age:)

Amelia - I'm sure I missed more workouts then anyone this month:eek: we'll catch up. I hope you had fun today with your family.

Cookie - It must have been great having everyone home for Christmas:) Kudos on squeezing in exercises while cooking. DH gave me a gc for massage seriously thinking about a stone massage always afraid it will burn LOL.

Lori - I hope your settling in & enjoyed Christmas!

Goodnight:)
 
Hi girls,


Hope you all had a fantastic xmas. I sure did. Time to clean up my eating. I got a fitbit from my son:p


Cycle Max is done!

Debbie - my husband did all the cooking yesterday:p We had Italien food too. Sorry about your son, hope all works out. Yes, they did xrays on my feet.

Waving Hi to Lori (where is she?), Cookie, Kirstin and Amelia.


I will be back in the morning.
 
Hi,

I did a quick shoulders & bi workout felt weird to workout but can't wait to get into the swing of things. I just read the newsletter & looks like we may get our workouts this week:):):)

I think everyone was either buying or returning today because even the Macy's employees were in shock with all the crowds:eek:

Belinda - Cool that DS gave you a fitbit! You may not want your foot to get better with all this pampering DH is giving you;)

Everyone must be winding down . . . I think I yawned 100x's today!

Waves hi to everyone

Goodnight:)
 
Morning ladies,

I will do STS today.

Debbie - we stayed home yesterday, didn't wanted to go in those crowded stores.

Waving Hi to everyone that follows. BBL!
 
Good Morning:)

Thought it was time I checkin! I don't know when I checked in last! It's been very hectic.

So after I moved out of my own house, we moved in with my SIL and her family, who lived right next door to us. It wasn't as weird as I thought it was gong to be and DS didn't seem to mind. He's such a home body that I figured he was going to have a hard time adjusting to the fact that he couldn't go home. DH left a few days a head of us and I made the journey with the kids alone :confused:. It wasn't that bad....but gravol doesn't work as great as I thought it did:rolleyes:. I was a few days trying to get our rental straightened out. It's not very big. It's basically the top floor of a 1100 square foot house...I'd think. There is a guy who lives in the basement. That's a little weird b/c we share the kitchen but I can suck it up for a while. Yesterday morning I applied on a few jobs. I'm not sure what the child care situation is here either. It's one thing to find a job but its another to find someone to watch my babies.

Christmas was good here. Santa still found us and I think the kids had a good day. They seemed to. Santa was good to everyone. I got some nice lulu running pants but I won't be wearing them anytime soon! Man, it's cold here! I didn't workout for 5 days and I knew it on Christmas Day. On Christmas Eve I did DWP and CF and I was so sore the next day! Christmas Day I did CTX UB and yesterday I did 30/30, 40/20 and LL. My TM should be moved into the house today I can't wait to run again!

DH has been working ever since we got here. Starting today he is on days off...finally.

That about sums it up. Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. I'll be able to start checking in on a regular basis again now!

Lori:)
 
Quick checkin for me. SO, working out did not sweat out the cold for me. . . it made it worse probably. I was very sick on Christmas and yesterday I stayed in bed all day and night. I had the chills and a fever. I was determined not to let this ruin my Christmas though. My boys were so excited, we were up at 6:40 a.m. They were so happy with everything they got. Then we went to my parents house, that is when I started getting worse. We got home at 6:30 and I passed out. I took Nyquil, love that drug.

Anyway. .. no workouts yesterday or on Christmas. Not sure if I will workout today. I am still feeling achy and hot/cold. I think I will give myself one more day to get better. Xtrain starts shipping today!!!

I will bbl to catch up on personals.
