COMMIT TO GET FIT & LEAN FOR FEB 19, 2011

Good Morning!

I am up to early for a saturday morning...that's forsure. I woke up to check the time and I couldn't get back to sleep. I figured it was just as well I get up. I have training before I go to work anyway and I wanna workout before that. I am sure I will be able to get a little snooze at work if I wanna. And worse case I will have a nap with DS before I go out tonight, even though I intended for DD to put him to bed.

I am going out with the girls tonight and am looking forward to it. I haven't been out in fine form in a while. I am thinking I won't be up this early tomorrow morning. I am looking forward to it!

Belinda** Have a good workout!!

I see all of you who tried to get into the RT were successful. You all sound very excited and I can't blame you! I didn't even bothering reading through yesterday's thread's b/c it was toooooo long and it was just RT yacking anyway:p

So I am going to do HR UB, a run and then KB. If I have enough time I may even do the leg work in HR as well. Lord knows I am up early enough!

Lori:)
 
Morning girls,

Today will be a rest day for me. I'm still congested and breathing out of one nostril:). If I do anything, it will be a little cardio on the elliptical.

Belinda - enjoy your cardio today!

Lori - so I'm thinking about getting some lululemon and have been looking at the groove pant online. Do you have a favorite?

Helene & Iris - have a fun time ice skating!

Cookie - still hoping you found time to sneak away and register.

Deb - the warm weather was fun while it lasted. I think today will be in the 40s and windy.

Melissa - you are right. There are rooms available. I didn't realize there were group codes for each type of room. Whew! That's a relief!

Amelia, Deb & Kristin - what's on your agenda today?

I think I'm going to start working on our taxes today...fun, fun, fun!
 
Good Morning Ladies

Rest day for me...unless you include rollerskating. That should be interesting! My mother (who has supported me competing, but hasn't really understood it so far), says to me last night "you can't afford to fall right now"....:confused:
Trained last night at the gym with my guy trainer friend....we did some legs, biceps, triceps and abs. It was fun!
DB.......he FINALLY came out with it....:rolleyes: So we're on the same page now, neither one of us know what the hell we're doing, how we're gonna do it, and we'll figure it out at some point. Going to take it nice and slow. He doens't know about the competion..........I'm guessing he's gonna know at some point!
A few people have commented on my sudden drop.....I wont' be able to hide it too much longer! lol (which is GOOD.)
I have to be honest, now I"m ready for it to be over........I'm four weeks out, and it's gonna get TOUGH....lol.


BBL with personals! After rollerskating and the market! Have a great day!
 
Morning girls.

Congrats to those going to the road trip! Sounds like a blast!!!

On todays agenda : CLX Burn It Off + Recharge then i have to work.

Work last night went well. Lots of running around and bending over, it's definitely not a doctors office position:eek: The only time I sat down was on break.:confused: My legs were aching by the end of the day. Talk about manual labor gesh,:confused: But I'm sure I will get use to it.

Belinda-How did your cardio go?

Lori-Have a good time tonight!! And thanks, at this point im pretty excited to get the job too. I can't believe I had such a hard time finding one:eek:

Trish-What is up with these colds lately, there so annoying? Mine is still lingering...what a P.I.T.A:confused: i woke up with one nostril stuffed too, hopefully a nasal wash will help...hope you feel better. How's the co-worker the ended up in the ER?

Iris-Four weeks out, wow...so proud of you!! Awesome workout yesterday!!

Kristin-LOL at Popeye arms...I know what you mean. I swear my legs felt like they were going to fall off yesterday. My mind was telling them to move but they had a mind of there own.:confused:

Helene-Have a great time at Lake Placid this weekend!

Debbie-Awesome job on your yoga workout yesterday. I work at a grocery store as a bakery clerk, its not in my field but its all i could get right now. Eventually I will be decorating cakes too...i use to do that when i was younger and really enjoyed it. Im not to eager to walk to work just yet,LOL...maybe one day. But its like maybe 2miles from my house...the best part about it.:p

Cookie-Hows your weekend going so far?

Did I forget anyone?

So I got to work yesterday and the girl training is very nice (thank goodness) and another lady, im thinking her friend, comes over and the first thing she tells me is "don't trust anybody, don't tell anybody your personal business!" ....:confused: She said they all act like a bunch of high school students here:eek: Should be interesting;)

ok...guess it time for Charlene to kick my butt again:rolleyes: Later gators

Hey Girls,

I am getting pretty lazy now. It could be a early afternoon nap for me!:D

My workout was HR UB, 3 miles on the TM, 4DSKB and MMA UB combos.

Trish** I like my groove pants but they are getting a little knoby. I am not sure why though. I don't wash them with anything Im not suppose to. I heard that the astro pants are better.

Iris** Woo Hoo! Love is in the air....or making it;);) HEHEHE!!! Oh to be 30 and single again! Oh wait, I was never 30 and single:eek: Maybe I will see cute walmart boy out tonight...its a small town. But I have the wedding rings back on now. I guess you kinda wanted to punch your brother in the head? I can't wait to see pics from your competition!

Ameila** If that lady told you not to trust anyone, then do as she says.I would beleive her. Its hard to find people you can trust. I am sure you will get use to the work.

I will probably bbl!

Lori:)
 
Morning!
Belinda, you must be so excited that both you and your dd got in to the rt! Congrats!
Iris Jane, lol at you and Tarzan. The wedding I went to two weeks back was very fancy and all the bridesmaids wore black. Lovely. Bet you are loving the definition, and so is DB. Texts and emails are so hard to infer.
Helene, hope you feel better. Last time I was at Guptil got knocked from behind and had a memorable fall.
Trish, you had me laughing with wanting to leave your coworker to go register. We could all relate tho. I was doing a workshop and told the participants I had to do something at 1. Well, doesn't a person try to chat w/me as I'm trying to get to the page, and I said in a minute please. Then someone else starts asking me a question! Don't folks know I have priorities? Anyway, I figured if I could try I would and did get in. Now I'm so excited since everyone else did also.
Deb, my exchange student is here til the end of August, and I don't have any stepchildren - sometimes I just refer to whichever child is driving me the most crazy as my husband's from his first marriage. Only he's only been married once, and it is to me. How's your other son taking the news of your first? Are we roomies?
Amelia, congrats on the job! So you're getting a wo while on the job. I always wanted to learn how to decorate cakes until I heard what some of the ingredients used are. How are you liking CLX?
Kristin, nice compliment on your arms. Isn't that so motivating to keep going?
Melissa, you must have been extremely fast on that registering button. I didn't read directions and had to go back do Tshirt size, and then take out spaces in my credit card number.
Lori, lol at you and your dh and your crushes. After all your workouts, I'll bet that guy was checking you out.
Thursday had a meeting that went til Midnight - some people just love to hear themselves talk, so yesterday was a rest day. Today is plyo legs and llb. Then its a birthday party for two friends.
Cookie
 
Morning everyone.

Great to read Cookie will be going also.

Question for everyone: Should we all try to book in the same hotel of the two? Any idea which one is better.

Busy weekend so I'll probably be mostly working. ;) Off to work out though. I'm not going to get arms like Kristin if I don't work 'em :D
 
OMG! Cookie is going too:eek:???? This is gonna be so much fun!

Helene - I made reservations last night at the Fairfield Inn for 2 queen size beds:p who wants to share rooms?

Helene - I stayed in the Fairfield Inn in 2007, that one is a little cheaper too!
 
Belinda: Ok I'll try and book the Fairfield inn as well. Thanks for the info.

Lori: Promise, we will talk about other things too. LOL. Oh and I meant that I'd be lurking today, not working. LOL. You are really starting to get to me with the Lulu and now Trish talking about it. I don't want to start because I know when I start, I don't stop. :eek: Too funny. I'm eying some cute KOS stuff lately too.

OK, first two segments of Intensity done and about 15mn of kettlebell combo (Katami). Time to run and take a shower.
 
Aaahhh, I'm back from taking Amaya to swim class. Now I can sit on my butt the rest of the day:eek:. Having a stuffed head is a great way to get out of housework:D Actually, I have some cooking to do and I still haven't started those taxes:confused: Oh well!

Cookie - That's great news! So glad that you are going also. I was starting to worry when you hadn't posted:D It will be so great to meet most of you at one time! I had a similar experience at registration time...two co-workers tried to talk to me at 12:58. I politely put up my hand and said 'Not now'. Of course they thought there was something major going on (which to me it was!). But after I got the confirmation, I told them and they said 'THAT was what you were doing!' WHATEVER!! Oh, and my co-worker is doing better. His hr finally 'converted' and went back to a 'sinus rhythm'.

Lori - Ok, I'll check out the Astro pants;) Really, I need to just go down to the mall and look at them/try them on, but the mall where lulu is is the worst one in the state IMHO. Way too crowded! Nice wo today, btw!

Amelia - How did I miss that you got the job!?! Congrats girl! Well, with all that extra manual labor, think about the cals you're burning:eek: Wish you were going to RT (sniff, sniff). Aaarrrgghhh, I wish these colds would go away!

Iris - How was rollerskating? So, now that DB is out, have the riddles stopped? I bet the 4 weeks will fly by especially once you get down to the last week or two. How exciting!!

Helene - Sounds like a great idea - booking in the same hotel. They look about the same quality-wise. Which wo did you end up doing? I think I have PUB on tap for the morning.

Belinda - So glad there are some RT vets on this check in to give advice on hotels and things like that!

Ok, ladies, off to start the taxes...but maybe after a nap first:rolleyes:

Helene -here is the info on the hotel: http://cathe.com/roadtrip/glassboro2011/event-info.php#registrationHotel
 
The Christmas decorations are FINALLY down!! Later I plan on doing some MMA Fusion and then we are heading to the city for my friend's bday.

Lori, have fun at girls night tonight!!

Trish, have fun doing your taxes lol. My friend does mine for me (thank God!!!). I have to send him my returns from last year sometime today. I'm hoping I will get enough $$ back this year to pay for my trip to Vegas in June :p

Amelia, glad to hear work went well. LOL@ the high school students. I think any job you work around the same people 24/7 will be like that. There are sooooo many immature people out there!!

Cookie, yay you got in!!! I'm so happy a lot of you girls are going :) I really can't wait.

Helene, last year we stayed at the Fairfield Inn. Like Belinda said, it's cheaper out of the 2 and they give you bfast and coffee in the morning. We spend maybe a couple hours in the hotel all weekend anyway so you don't need a fancy room or anything.
 
Iris- lol, you have me very curious about your rollerskating excursion now :)

Cookie- so glad you got in! This is going to be so much fun! What is motivating me right now besides that compliment is STS itself. I am looovvving it! I see more definition and strength. Already trying to figure out when I can start it again after I finish this round!

Amelia- I agree with Lori, I would just keep your guard up. However, I will say I think everyone acts like teenagers in the workplace thaws days. The stories I could tell you about some teachers, lol.

Trish- rest up and feel better!

Helene- I am also staying at the Fairfield. It is cheaper and that is where the bus picks you up, so most people stay there. I think the residence inn is better for whole families.

Hi Lori- your workouts have been so impressive. Do you do more when you PT?

Hi to Deb. How is everything going with your FIL?

Belinda- do you find any particular muscle groups are harder in STS? The chest shoulders ties DVDs are killing me! My DOMS from Monday finally are gone!

Kristin
 
Okay I forgot Melissa- sorry Melissa! When you say christmas decorations, do you mean outside lights? Mine I still up!

Amelia- I meant to write these days, not thaws days. I am typing on my phone, very annoying.
 
Hi girls,

Stopped by this morning to read and post went to do something and the electric was out for several hours, wind storm. I couldn't get my workout in but will try and do a short kickboxing after I type this:rolleyes: We are going out to dinner tonight and I'm sure DH doesn't want to wait.

I agree let's stay in one hotel even though Melissa is right not there very much. I've only stayed at the Fairfield and it was nice.

Belinda - So excited to meet you and your daughter:)

Lori - Have fun tonight . . . hoping you don't have to train anyone in the early hours of the day;)

Cookie - I'm so excited you made it in, if you want to room again it's fine with me. I remember from other RT's some people like their own room, so whatever you girls decide is fine with me but it would be great if we're in the same hotel.

Helene - I remember when I went skating with the kids they had the disco lights . . . did they have them? I have the urge to shop too . . . sometimes at the gym they bring in clothing vendors.

Trish - I didn't realize there was a lulu store in NJ but if it's Garden State Plaza Mall I understand why you wouldn't want to go. I heard the parking is a nightmare. Ugh, on the taxes need to look at them too!

Iris - So you were racing Helene's kids . . . I hope you won:eek: Keep up the competitiveness;) So what is harder the diet or workouts for the competition?

Amelia - The new job sounds fun and after a few weeks you'll get used to being on your feet and think how did I sit for 7 hours. I do miss having access to a computer with a desk job.

Melissa - I finally took my Christmas photo cards down this week and some odds and ends:eek:

Kristin - Any plans this weekend?

Have a great night:)
 
Evening everyone,

Since we are no longer going to Lake Placid, I guess I have time to post. ;)

Belinda: So fun you can do this with your daughter. Hope she won't mind hanging out with us all. I know you are on a lot of check-ins. Are a lot more of the ladies you know on the other ones also going to the RT?

Deb: Hope you are doing well. Sorry about the loss of power. Is the snow melting down where you are? Quite a bit of it did melt here but today was cold again. I hope you and your entire family are doing well.

Trish: So how are the swim lessons going by the way? Any progress? It looks like we should stay at the Fairfield Inn.

Iris: LOL, I was just joking about posting it. ROFLMAO. Now I have to explain.

Melissa: Sounds like you are doing well with classes, studying, working out and working a bit. Miss the hole yet? Mwahahahahahahahahaha!

Lori: LOL about wanting to see the Walmart guy again. Got lulu on my mind....... Have you met anyone from the forum?

Kristin: OMG, my Xmas decoration is still up outside too. :eek: It's down inside though. I'm not bringing my family to the RT. :p Def me time for that one. :D

Amelia: Hope work goes well. So if the ladies are gossipy then make sure to stay out of it. Your legs will get used to it. How are you managing your eats?

Cookie: Saw the picture we took at the restaurant with you last year. :)

So I have to say that I am so excited to meet everyone soon. I wish we could meet up with Amelia too. Belinda will have to fill us in when she sees her in Georgia. I can't wait for July. I really hope that Lori will come to the next one. :)

Now on to the little issue of Iris tripping my 3 y old DD rollerblading...... So first: yes, it's an old arena with 70 lighting. :eek: Totally fun. Place was really busy in the beginning but then it cleared up. All three of us were skating together with DD in the middle and holding her hands. I guess Iris kind of tripped her (I didn't even see it), but DD didn't even hit the floor 'cause we were holding her up. There. Story wasn't as good as you might have expected. And DD is almost 4 by the way and she loves Iris (wouldn't let her hand go). Good times all around.

Oh and Iris is looking good for this competition. :cool:
 
Good evening,

No workout for me today, needed a rest day. Had no energy all day long. I am so excited so many from this check in are going to the RT:eek::D:eek: since the sign up, I cleaned up my eating.

Cookie - Aleisa and I were on the phone together, I was afraid one of us wouldn't get in, lol! We pressed the button at the same time, lol! I can't tell you how excited we are to meet all of you girls. We gonna have a blast:eek:
 
Helene - LOL, no DD doesn't mind hanging out with us all. She and I went to the '07 RT, we had a blast! Yes, from my other check ins, 3 girls are going?

Debbie - I am so excited to meet you and the rest of the check in!
ROFLMAO at Kirtin & Melissa! You girls are funny!

Kirstin - I find the back/chest harder,I do have back problems.
 
Congratulations Amelia! You get used to it! LOL, on feeling Chalene. Have fun!

Lori - enjoy your girls night out! BTW, nice workouts today.

Trish - hope you feel better. Don't push yourself today.
That's funny, about the registration, glad you got in.

Iris & Helene - have fun ice skating!

Good night, ladies!
