Commit to get Fit & Lean for February 2015

Hi everyone. Today is a rest day, but I did some more 1 RM testing for STS. Tomorrow starts my final week in the 2 month rotation. I feel I have more definition in my shoulders and abs. I probably would've gotten better results if I cleaned up my diet. I am going to be strict with my food when I start STS, hopefully that'll give me the results I want. I love the RWH series. Every workout is a gem.

I am pretending not to see the snow fall as I type this. It isn't working too well. I almost feel like I am losing it, like I am in The Shining or something.

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy

We took my parents out to dinner last night. DH noticed how my mom doesn't even look at the menu or order for herself, my dad does it for her.

Deb- hot yoga was a good idea! Stay warm!

Kristin
 
Good afternoon,

I did 21 Day Fix Cardio today.

Cookie - how are you doing?

Kirstin - sorry about your mom and student. Arrr…! I am going crazy with all the snow, we got like 9 inches. We suppose to get 12":confused: I am so ready for summer. Have fun with STS. You can do it with your eating. I saw it on the news about how cold it is in Florida, depressing no matter where you go:( Glad you enjoy RWH.

Debbie - great job on the hot yoga. I like mixing workouts/rotations. Yes, the weather is so depressing 2 years in a row. That's funny it's warmer in Alaska :D

Hi Wendy!

I will be back tomorrow. Stay warm, everyone.
 
'Evening!
Belinda, crazy that it is cold in Florida also! How do your dogs like traveling in the rv? Our dogs don't care for riding in cars. Perhaps if they did it more they might get accustomed to it. Congrats on finishing the rotation.
Kristin, I'm with you on this weather, as well as all the testing and appr! It makes me anxious all the time. Congrats on the shoulder definition. That's terrific. My dh snowshoed around the field a couple of times and the nutso dog loved running in the snow. It didn't do enough to tire her out tho. I'm more like Baxter, no thanks on going outside.
Deb, hot yoga on these cold days actually sounds like a really good idea. One of my friends went swimming the other day! I shuddered just thinking about it. Got the running around done and pleased it is. I don't mind traveling for work and other than the packing, unpacking, and hanging around airports, enjoy it. I have to work the next two weeks and both times will be traveling for it.
It is snowing so hard we had to stay home this evening. We were supposed to have a family get together/meeting re my brother, but its so bad my dh didn't want to drive. Needless to say, neither did I, so we're home. Also had tickets for a craft beer festival that no one wanted to take b/c its supposed to be so bad for driving. I'm so disappointed since I spent a lot on the tickets, and once we heard of the family get together tried to gift someone with them, but no luck. Went on rebounder while watching Becoming Jane, very enjoyable movie. Sad to confess that I never read Jane Austen growing up. It wasn't til a couple of years ago I ever read one of her books. Still have to get 4 more miles in today according to the training plan.
Waving hi to Amelia and Wendy.

Hi,

Today I took a rest day. My one arm has been hurting me for 2 weeks, I think I sleep on it at night and when I wake up it hurts throughout the day:confused:

It's snowing here, went out earlier to shovel a little but it started all over again and doesn't even look like I did anything. The only good news was the weatherman said it's 26 days until Spring:)

Belinda - Wow, you are getting a lot of snow too, when it's all over we will probably have 6 inches. Just no where to put all this snow. I ordered 21 day fix may do that after STS.

Kristin - I was thinking about you and all this snow and the good thing is you are in a bigger house. When I go to my in-laws and they say or do something that is off I always think they are joking but it's sad when I realize they aren't. It seems to happen almost everytime I go now.

Cookie - It was so slippery when I went out to get the mail & DH said the roads were really bad coming home from Church. It's a good thing that you stayed home. I could see how the packing & unpacking would be tough especially with the way the weather is lately.

Waves hi to Amelia & Wendy

Goodnight:)
 
Good morning,

I just did Desiree Bartlett Yoga for Beginners #2. I need that stretch, my hip is very tight.

Cookie - the dogs love traveling in the RV. They can move around, the RV is over 34 feet long :D lot's of room for them. The car is different for the dogs. One of my dogs love the RV but doesn't like driving in the car:( My dogs are used to traveling, they been traveling with us for the last 10 years. We also stayed home yesterday, too much snow.

Debbie - I am still on the fence about 21 Day Fix? Did you order the Extreme 21 DF or the original one? Did you get the basic set and the add ons? Did you order through Mary? Maybe I should get the set? When are you done with STS?

Waving Hi to everyone that checks in after me. Have a wonderful day and workout, everyone.
 
Hello everyone. I just finished RWH LIHI Legs. I am going to do a few more 1 RM tests and then shower and go to the spa. I am getting a facial, eyebrows waxed and maybe a manicure. I need to pamper myself before going back to work tomorrow. I still have work to do that I put off, but I will do it when I get back. We ended up with 7 inches of snow. It was supposed to be 2-4, WTH?

Belinda- my friend has 21 day fix and loves it. She's done it twice and lost some weight. Baxter loves car rides, I think because whenever he is in my car he knows he's going someplace fun (beach, dog park, docks, etc.). Sometimes I pick him up to come with me to get the boys from school. He likes that too.

Deb- I cannot imagine being stuck in the small house with all this snow and the boys (especially now that they are bigger and get on each other's nerves more, lol). Spring will be here before we know it. I am starting STS next week. Are you finishing it up this month? I am getting more and more excited to do STS again. Plus, when I finish it we will be in June!

Cookie- I have to invent games for Baxter to tire him out in the house. One game is I take his toy and tell him to stay, then call him to the top of the stairs, then throw the toy, he runs to get it and I hide. He finds me, we start again. Other times I hide the toy and make him find it. It's thinking and exercise for him and it tires him out for a little bit. Then we have to start again, lol.

Okay, time to do more 1 RM tests.

BB later,

Kristin
 
Hi,

We went to my BIL father's 85th birthday & he was so happy! Funny thing I told DH when I looked for an 85th yr. card only had 1 choice for it also 90th birthday card 1 choice.

So I realized why my arm and neck have been hurting it must be all that shoveling!! 6-8 inches last night:( Both DH & DS wanted to do it but I insisted & I was jinxed. It's not that much shoveling since my BIL plows our driveway but there are places he can't get to. I didn't workout put a heating pad on my arm & neck & it helped.

Belinda - I ended up ordering the combo set which includes both thru Mary. After STS I will try and do a rotation and let you know how they are. Yoga does really hit the spot.

Kristin - A spa day is a perfect way to end your vacation! I'll finish M3 this week & will go onto M2 I did it in reverse. DH plays the same game with my inlaws dog (hiding the toy) & she loves it.

Cookie - When I go pick up DS's dog, she shakes the 1st couple of miles and I thought it was my driving;)

Waves hi to everyone

Goodnight:)
 
Good morning,

I will do 21 Day Fix for the next 3 weeks. Today I will do 21 DF TB Cardio Fix = 12 min and SBF Barre 12 = 30 min.

Cookie - how are you doing"

Debbie - I am so excited for you :) The combo set didn't had the free shipping right? I ask Mary awhile back and she also said you only get one set of containers. Off to read more about it. Did you know, that Beachbody is selling it's products in Kohl's, TJ Max and Walmart? I read on VF that they are open it to the public. DH and I bought at Kohl's P90X3 tubing bands awhile back. Hoping they will sell their dvd's one day too?

Kirstin - both my dogs are very excited every time the see the RV or the car. They are the first in the RV :p I need a spa day, hadn't one in a long time. Hope you had fun.

I will be back later.
 
Hi everyone. I just finished RWH LI1, abs 2, plus a few more 1 RM testing. I think I will be done with the 1 RM testing tomorrow or Wednesday.

Today was my first day back to work and it was. . . interesting. . . a girl in one of my classes told me she wasn't feeling well and proceeded to projectile vomit on my boots and pants. Yes. . . you read that correctly. Now, I have a weak stomach and even when my own kids get sick I feel the urge to vomit myself. I held it together. I got the student cleaned up and then myself and then I had to have my next class moved to the library. . . it was crazy. I am so glad I went to the spa yesterday. The facial was amazing, so relaxing. It was just what I needed!

Deb- I remember you saying you were going to do STS in reverse. I was thinking of doing 5 months: meso 1, 2, 3, 2, 1. I don't know how I will feel about sticking with STS for so long. I guess when I finish Meso three I will decide.

Belinda- How was the workout today? Are you following the meal plan too or sticking with your paleo diet? I ordered these paleo protein bars from julian's bakery online. I have only tried the caramel, but I did not like it. It was pretty gross, lol. People rave about the chocolate brownie one. Maybe I will try that for dessert tonight.

Waving hello to Cookie, Amelia, and Wendy!

Hi,

Today I took a yoga class. We booked Florida but are doing it in 2 parts. Next week we leave for 10 days & will visit my Dad in West Palm Beach, DH's Aunt who has stage 4 cancer, godchild & some friends plus take care of some business. We will go after Easter in April to relax and no visiting or work LOL. We have commitments so we couldn't do it in one shot.

Belinda - For the 1st time in the food store I overheard some woman talking about 21 day fix (I hope Cathe does a program like that down the road). I don't think it came with free shipping. I go to Kohl's for work next month & will check it out. After STS I hope to do a rotation like you too:)

Kristin - Ugh, I can't imagine having someone get sick on me it must have been tough. The poor girl is probably so embarassed and the boys probably loved it (they always like gross things like that) LOL. I like the idea of doing STS like you said there are so many interesting combos which I would never think of but are awesome like premixes!

Waves hi to everyone & keep warm

Goodnight:)
 
Good morning,

I will do 21 DF Upper Fix and SBF UB today.

Debbie - good job on your yoga yesterday. I also did a short yoga last night to stretch out my hip/lower back. 21 DF is well known and a well rounded program. I really like it. Sorry about your Aunt (((HUGS))). That's about the same time we go to Florida.

Kirstin - Oh no…about the girl. Glad you enjoy the spa yesterday. Now I need to google julian's bakery online :) For the most part I like the paelo snacks. I am not that strict with my food. No, I am not following the 21 DF plan. I need to pull my stuff out.

I will be back later today or tomorrow. Have a great day and workout.
 
Hey everyone. Just finished RWH Hiit LBC. That workout never gets easier, lol. I am almost done with my 1 RM testing. I am supposed to have a rest day tomorrow, so I think I will finish my 1 RM testing then.

I had my formal observation today. I need to meet for my official post-ob, but my AP told me it was a great lesson. We shall see. . .

Belinda- haven't tried any of the other bars. My son had the cinnamon roll one and liked it.

Deb- sorry to hear about your aunt. That is smart to go in two trips: one for family and one for relaxation. We cannot afford to go anywhere, otherwise I would even do a weekend trip somewhere, lol.

Kristin
 
Evening!
Belinda, sounds like you're thinking about or have already gotten the 21 day program. I drive a small car, so perhaps that has something to do w/why the larger dog is scared of it. That plus, she doesn't get much opportunity to ride. The other two enjoy riding but drive me crazy by moving around. They need their little car seats!
Kristin, yuck and double yuck on your boots and clothes! It is so embarrassing for the child, but horrible to be caught in the crossfire. We try to tire Dixie out in a similar fashion as you do. Only she never seems to tire out! The spa day at the end of the break was a really good idea.
Deb, yeah on Florida but sorry about your aunt. Is March typically a slower month work-wise?
Nothing interesting here to report other than my sleeping has been horrible. I'm tired and can't wait to go to sleep but then wake up a couple of hours later. Hoping a glass of wine helps tonight.

Hi,

Today I did Rockout Knockout forgot that it is a fun kickboxing w/o. Well even though it's cold, seeing signs of Spring in the stores. I even saw Easter candy this week at the food store:)

Belinda - My SIL is going to FL this weekend to see her grandson & is going w/her ex & his wife. They are all sleeping at my in-laws condo:eek: Maybe we will pass each other in the sky LOL.

Kristin - You need to get some family members to move to warmer temps so you can visit:) Great job with your observation!

Cookie - March is slower but Feb. shipments were backed up because of weather so this week has been tough everything came at once. Sorry your sleep has been bad it must be tough to get up when it is so cold out. Last night the temps were negetative 7 degrees hereo_O

Wave hi to everyone

Goodnight:)
 
Good morning,

21 Day Fix Lower Fix is done. I still have to do SBF workout today.

Cookie - I didn't buy the 21 DF program. It's my friends set :) She wanted to try out P90X3 and I wanted to try out 21DF :) I really like the set:p I have a small car too, my dogs are used to driving/flying. Every time I have a glass of wine, it keeps me up all night long? Weird, hah? I hardly have one anymore. Hope the wine helps.

Debbie - isn't it crazy? All the stores have Easter candy and summer stuff out. Can't wait, for the weather to get warmer.

Kirstin - can you please post a link where I can buy those bars? :D Yeah, for being almost done with the 1RM.

Waving Hi to everyone that checks in after me.
 
Good morning,

I will do 21 Day Fix Dirty 30 and SBF Active Stretch after my coffee :)

I hope I am not the only one working out :)

I will be back after my workouts.
