COMMIT TO GET FIT & LEAN FOR FEB 24, 2011

Good Morning Ladies

Thanks for all the Hugs ladies, it really means a lot to me...can't wait to meet you all. :)

Sooooo....yeah....DB....I think it's a go!! Don't listen to me next time I say I'm not going there....cuz that means I am! :eek: So we've graduated from email to text. :) It's nice just having a normal "get to know you" conversation. He's actually interested in yoga, he lives a healthy lifestyle, he loves his pets (he likes cats for gods sake...that's a plus!).
He remembers details about conversations we've had that I dont' remember at all. :eek: I didn't notice he'd lost 15 lbs. :eek: I forgot what he did for work (he told me once a couple of months ago) :eek: . I've realized that sometimes I need to be hit over the head pretty hard to see what's right in front of me....:rolleyes: He still doesn't know I'm competing....but I did say the next couple of weeks are going to be pretty crazy for me.....and that even though I wish I was a flexible person, I'm very regimented, and it makes me nervous...lol.

A very good friend of mine who plays in the band and brass choir with me, text me the other night to see if I was going to rehearsal (tonight). And I went on about it's hard because of work, etc etc. And he said to me, "you've been doing a kick ass job taking care of your body, but sometimes one needs to take care of their soul, too"....*sigh*...I cried because he was right!!! I packed my horn yesterday so I had no excuses!!

Lower body on tap today......I think..lol

Belinda- Have a great cardio workout today, whatever you decide!

Amelia- It will get easier to multi-task as you get to know your job better, but I'll tell you what, your patience for people will diminish. LOL! ;) Hope last night went better for you!

Trish- great workout despite the lack of sleep!!

Helene- LOL @ stringing him along..... there will be no stringing this time. :) I'm going to make an honest go of it, I think. :) Boy, things are gonna be quite different when we are both back to work next week, huh??? :eek: How are you feeling?? I can't believe you're considering 30/30 with a sore throat! I have a hard time considering it on a good day! lol

Melissa- You will do great on your exams!!! Remember, study long, study wrong (or however the saying goes)

Lori- Yeah GS is killlllerrrr....I might do that one today...hmmm.... So yes, my mother actually has breast cancer that spread to the bones, which, if it's gonna spread, it's the most treatable and sustainable. It's been over 2 years since she's been diagnosed, so we're all hopeful for quality of life for as long as possible. Her prognosis was 2-20 years. So the fact that it's been over 2 and hasn't spread anywhere else AND being off chemo for 6 monhts AND after being in that car accident two years ago? I'd say she's one hell of a fighter. :)

Have a great day ladies. :cool:


 
Good Morning,

Up early this morning and I didn't really care to get out of bed:confused: I am debating working out now or after I drop DS off at the sitters. I will probably wait. I didn't realize that it was 8 already.

I have some nice DOMS going on from yesterday's leg work. I knew I would b/c when I was in bed last night I could feel it creeping in.

Belinda** Enjoy your workout!

Iris** LOL...its hard to keep up with what's going on!:p Maybe there is a wedding in the future;) That's quit the prognosis......How old is your mom?

I will bbl!

Lori:)
 
Morning, wow...6:30am rolls around quick doesn't it?;)

So today will be the dreaded Burn Intervals + abb burner. I didn't care for abb burner last time so i will do my favorite abb workout of all time. PH abbs :D I miss Cathe and need to 'see' her.

Work went great last night. I had a talk with the manger and she put me at ease a bit. She was real sweet :)

Iris-LOL, im the same way when it comes to forgetting things. My dh has the memory of a freakin' elephant...im more like a goldfish:eek: Glad to hear you and DB graduated to texting:) Love the text you got back from your rehearsal friend...so true. DH and I need to go hiking...that feeds my soul:)

Belinda-What cardio and abb workout are you doing? Any relief in the upcoming weather for Germany?

Lori-Love leg doms, nice job. I haven't really felt any serious doms from ChaLean? thats weird because the workouts/form/hand grip is different then Cathe's...Doms are weird anyway:rolleyes:

Hello to everyone, i will try and check back later after my workout. Eating going well...down a little this morning on the scale:) My official weigh in isn't until Sunday morning ....
 
Morning ladies,

Iris: Glad your mom is doing as well as possible. Also glad that you are going to give DB the time a day ;). I'll remember too, so no backing out. I really need to do some yoga again. Just need more time you know. Can't believe your competition is almost here. I am beyond excited! My sore throat went away yesterday. Back again this morning. Might just be a morning thing?

Lori: Can't remember the last time I did that leg workout. I've been doing a lot of the STS leg workouts I like them so much. I'd bread out of it except I am not doing an STS round. LOL.

Belinda: Have a good cardio. I also have been having trouble sleeping. And I usually never do. I have no idea what is up with that.

Today is my long day. Ugh. So this morning I'm getting a good workout in. :D 4DS LIS step only done and I'm going back down to do disc9 now.

BBL
 
SUCCESS!!!! I slept ALL night!! WOOHOO:)

Morning ladies,

Checking in from the train. Felt great to get a full night's rest. I did iClimb25 + iClimb27 + HR Abs. Great sweaty workout today.

BBL!
 
Amelia: Have a good workout. I also need to "see" Cathe once in a while. Of course now it's all the time. LOL Sounds like you are doing good with your new job :)
 
Ahhhhhh....I took a little cat nap this morning:) I had to. It was either that or this afternoon and I have a feeling this afternoon would be a better time to get some studying in. So now I am on my 3rd cup of coffee since 6 a.m but I had to have something after my nap. Hopefully I can make it through the rest of the way without yawning.

I'm not sure if I should deal with that early morning rise situation or not. Here is the deal....when I took this lady on, she informed me that she doesn't have to go to work until 10 a.m. So even if we had to workout between 8-9 some mornings, that was good for her. She then changed that to 6:15 some mornings and this also interfered with one girl who was off for a couple of weeks due to a bad back. And I dealt with that. When I was over to her house on Tues she says that we don't need to workout on Thurs until 7:40....I'm like whaaa?:eek: Then she says "Well, howabout 6:40". I'm good with that. Then last night she sends me a text that tells me her weightloss at ww's that night and "see you at 6:15"! It for one confuses me cause I'm wondering what day we decided to workout at 6:40...and then two...did we not agree on 6:40. I told her today that she keeps changing her mind but she told me not to pay any attention to her. I think once this week is over for her she will go back to 6:40 b/c when I leave her house, I drop her daughter off at school. I can't believe that it takes someone from 7:15-10 to get ready for work! She likes to have atleast 90 mins to 2 hours to get ready for work:confused: So should I suck it up b/c she is paying me OR should I tell her that 6:45 is good for me cause to be honest, getting up before 6 kills me some mornings.

Ameila** Crossing my fingers for a good weigh in for you! DS came out with us at 3:50 and I was praying that it wasn't time to get up! I was soooo relieved when I looked at the time. 6 rolls around super quick! Ugh! But i always sleep well, which is a plus. Are you getting your workouts in before work or after?

Helene** I forget how many different workout dvds I actually have with that STS series. Even though each workout is a separate disc, I think some are clips from others. I have noticed it in the past. But they do a good job of blending it all together if that's the case.

Trish** Congrats on a good nights sleep!! I am wanting a longer one!

BBL!
Lori:)
 
Good morning ladies! I just took my first test of the day and it was a doozie. I hope I did ok; I studied my butt off! Anyway, I was tossing and turning all night about these damn exams today so I didn't wake up early to WO. Today will be my rest day.

Lori, great WO yesterday! You are a social butterfly with all your parties. LOL @ the towels, I am still laughing at that!

Belinda, what cardio did you decide on?

Iris, woohooo w/ DB!!!!!!! Yay!!! It's important to have someone who shares the same interests and takes care of their body since you do it for yourself! Have fun at rehearsal tonight...I didn't know you were in a band!

Amelia, glad to hear work went well! And kudos on the eating well/dropping lbs!!!! You go girl!

Helene, today is my long day too. I already can't wait for it to be over ;)

Trish, WOOHOO on sleeping all night!!!! Can you send those sleep vibes my way??

Oh so this morning I pulled on my tightest pair of jeans and I had to look twice at the label to make sure because they were actually loose!! Woohoo!!!! Tomorrow is WI so we'll see what the #s look like...
 
Good morning. sorry I was MIA yesterday. i went bowling with the kids and my sister. It was actually "mini bowling". For two dollars a game, teh kids bowled in a mini lane with mini balls. It was cute. Then we went to my parents' for dinner. They are leaving for PR on Sunday. I never got a workout in yesterday, so today will be STS D21 Legs. i love the tri-sets!!!!

Trish- glad you got to catch up on your sleep. Both my boys slept all night last night and it was a relief to get uniterrupted shut-eye.

Iris- I am happy your is doing well. That is great. I think it is also great that you are giving this guy a chance and playing your music. I think those who are gifted with art, whether it be music or painting, need to use it can eat away at them. Does that make any sense? My sister is a very talented artist and musician, she will put it to the side for months on end because she is busy, buth then when she gets back to it, she always seems so happy. BTW-I need to use you for my inspiration for clean eating because lately it has been anything but. i haven't gained any weight, but the pot-belly is back. Weird, it is always the first sign that I need to "clean it up" again.

Amelia- Glad you had a good night at work last night. No annoying customers? ;)

Belinda- doing legs today. 35#Narrow squats and 32# plie squats. . . we shall see!

Helene- good job on LIS from 4DS. I cannot seem to get the energy to do a double workout with STS, although I might try today since I didn't workout yesterday.

Lori- Don't ya love when you can feel the DOMS coming on? My DH thinks I am crazy, lol.

Okay, I'll bbl. DH comes home today around 6. I am counting down the hours.

Kristin
 
Lori, if it was me I would just say the agreed-upon time was 6:45 so that's what I set my schedule around. She doesn't know if you have a client before her or what YOUR schedule is like. If she doesn't have to go to work until 10 then she has plenty of time and doesn't need to get up at the a$$ crack of dawn, plus she initially said 6:45 so it's on her now.

ITA with Melissa on this one. to heck with that.
 
Howdy girls,

So glad it is Thursday. One more day before the weekend. Feels like it's been a rough week. Guess the non-sleeping has something to do with that. Anyways...

Belinda - Maybe today will turn out to be a rest day:) What event are you signing up for? Did I miss something yesterday?

Lori - I don't know how you keep all those clients straight!! Do you carry a datebook with you? And write in pencil:p?? Still have my GSL Doms from Monday;) Oh, and another vote for Melissa's response to the wacky client.

Iris - Nice quote from your friend. I need to post that on my cork board;) Awwww, I love when guys remember the little things like that:eek: Enjoy rehearsal tonight.

Amelia - Glad your manager is approachable;) Makes a huge difference. Have fun with Chalean (and a little Cathe;)) today.

Helene - Nice wos today! Sending you good sleep vibes. My rest last night was so needed. Hoping for a repeat performance tonight:cool: Load up your healthy snack bag for tonight's meeting;)

Melissa - I'm sure you aced it girl! Sending you my sleep vibes:D

Kristin - ^5s on your sleep last night! Sounds like you and the boys are enjoying winter break;) Uuuughh on the pot belly...I get the same sign as you:confused:!

Hello to Cookie and Deb! BBL
 
Just a quick check in:) I just finished Step Jam from the Classics Volume 1! It wasn't high impact, still got my HR up. Besides the cloth, I liked the workout:D Very fun workout!

Trish - I posted the website earlier.:D BBL!

DH is back! Yea!

Kristin

BTW- Melissa- awesome about the jeans! Love that feeling!
 
Hi girls,

I have been catching up with work, I took off too much time in the beginning of the month and am rushing to get in done by the end of the month. I have not done any of my computer work yet:eek:

My last workout was Monday so I need to do something after I type this because I am cranky:) I am going to do STS M2 D14 legs.

Belinda - Did the DVD have dust on it:eek: I did CTX kickboxing last week and forgot how dated it was.

Lori - It takes that girl longer to get ready then to workout;) Does she wear a lot of makeup?

Iris - So happy to hear good news about your Mom and hopefully the pills will be better for her. You know we can't wait to hear the DB stories:) It's great that you friend talked you into going to practice.

Helene - Sounds like your really busy at work.
