Good morning,

Today I will take a rest day, just came back from Nuernberg. We went dancing until 3 a.m. , didn't got to bed until 4 a.m :p We had soooo much fun! I will be back later!

Have a wonderful Sunday, everyone!
 
GOOD MORNING AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Omg where has the time gone???? I've been so caught up in life and this competition and (facebook)...LOL. I keep up with some of you there! lol

Life has definitely had some ups and downs.....as usual. However! My mother was happy and healthy this entire holiday season. :D In fact, she's been off chemo for over six months now, and even though her markers have been creeping back up (and creeping.....nothing drastic), and she's due for more scans, she told doc the other day this is the best she's felt since day 1. Neither one of us were expecting her to say that......so her scans were put off another couple of weeks. ;) To be honest, if anything, she's holding me up lately.....:confused:

Ahhhh I feel I can say things on here I can't on FB! So it's coming into the crazy nutso season at the gym ( I think we all know that!), and we didn't hire.....meaning.....I'm alone...meaning...I'm overwhelmed...and stressed....plus this competition. So there's my life..... LOL

Miss you all!!! I will catch up when I can!

Amelia- I hope you feel better soon!! I saw that you weren't feeling well

Belinda- Happy new Year! What rotation are you onto now??

Lori- We need to chat! lol

Melissa- Thanks for the kick in the ass

Kristin- I can't imagine you as a big swearer...lol

Debbie- Hope you enjoyed the holiday's with your family!

Cookie and Helene- omggg...we need to get together....that should be our resolution! lol

Trish- I see you.......:p

Take care everyone! BBS
 
Today is a rest day for me as well. Tomorrow I start STS!!!!!!!! I am so psyched. We are going to NYC today and meeting up with some friends. We are planning on taking the boys to the Museum of Natural History. They are excited!

Iris!!!!! So good to see you here. Hang in there. this is a crazy time for you I am sure. It is funny, for those in retail, like my DH, it is the slow time now, but just a week ago, he was pulling his hair out. now for all the gyms it is the crazy time. how long does that last? do most people drop after a month or so?

Belinda- after dancing all hours of the night, you deserve a rest, lol.

Kristin
 
Morning ladies! I have no clue why I am up this early; we didn't get home until 4 AM!! :eek: I definitely see a nap in my future.

Today is STS shoulders/bi's/tri's, abs, and maybe some cardio.

Kristin, I've definitely noticed strength gains after doing STS. I've also seen some definition in my arms and definitely in my legs. My results probably would have been a lot better if I ate cleaner :mad: MMA Boxing is great!! Actually, I love all the MMAs, they are so much fun! Did you get MMA Fusion too? That is prob my favorite.

Belinda, glad you had an awesome time last night!

Iris, you're welcome LOL. We missed you!!! That is so awesome about your mom! I'm glad to hear it! My best to her :)

Hi to everyone who follows! Enjoy your Sunday :D
 
Afternoon girls!

Happy New Year! It feels so good to be back home! Love travelling, but there's nothing like coming home (except for all the laundry that has to be done!!). So, I dared to get on the scale this morning and I gained a whopping 8 lbs since my last weigh in after thanksgiving. I think I am going to finish my last two weeks of STS before starting a fat burning routine. This will be the first time I will actually finish STS. I always quit after M2. Anyways, I decided to try HR last night - my shoulders and tris were burning. I have DOMs everywhere except my back. I think I went too light on those exercises. I'm hoping to hop on the ellitpical before the day is over.

Belinda - Sounds like a great night out last night!!

Iris - Wow, can't believe it has been 6 months already!! I'm so happy for your mom;)I can imagine you are going to be swamped over the next few months. It will probably die down by March though. I've been studying off and on for the ACE. To be honest, I'm only through chapter 2..LOL!! I get it in when I can (which isn't often). Hope you get some help at the gym. When is competition day?

Kristin - Have a great time in the city. I'm dreading my return tomorrow:confused:

Melissa - So were you out dancing, too?? How much more do you have with STS? Like you, I've seen some great strength gains with STS. I will definitely be doing it again in 2011.

Hellos to everyone that follows. I'll catch up with you guys over the week. Gotta help DD study for a test tomorrow and get dinner started.
 
Good afternoon everyone!

Belinda: Dancing the night away, that means you gt your cardio in :D. It sounds like you had lots of fun ringing in the new year. Saw you are going to slow down on the double workouts. Sounds like you are good listening to your body.

Lori: Saw that Santa was good to you :) You deserve it with all you do during the year. That's awesome.

Amelia: Saw on your blog you passed the 170. :eek: Awesome. Love your new ticker.

Trish: Sounds like you had an awesome vaca as well. I ate a lot but came back at about the same weight so I'm OK with that. I'm still up on last year so that's another problem. LOL.

Iris: Nice to see you checking in. LOL at being able to post things here that you can't put on Facebook.

Kristin: Woohoo! You got STS. You are sooooo going to love it. Two things that you might already know: Meso 1 moves really fast! Be prepared to use the pause button at times. I found setting up everything at night the day before to be really helpful. Also, especially when you reach Meso 2, be careful with your eats. For me STS was the first time I really started having three weight sessions every week and going to the heavy weights made me hungry. A lot of people reported the same. 3 or 6 months is a tough decision. The first time (6 months), I enjoyed being able to do things a second time because I felt I needed to get the hang of it. I loved Meso 2 and really enjoyed having two tries each time there as well. I didn't finish meso 3 but it is really good too. Love Plyo legs. here are my parting words: Hope you like pushups :p !

Melissa: I went looking for your post when you quit. So anti-climactic. I wanted the bi@tch to lose it. Maybe she will yet in January. It sounds like you had nice holidays as well. :) I feel sorry for that new person that you mentioned. Can't believe you are finally getting out of that place!

Cookie: So....... when are we getting together?!

Heidi: you are so lucky to be living in FL. We had such a nice time. Even when it was cold, I kept thinking of how much worse the weather was back home. I hope everyone is healthy again.

Deb: Did you have nice holidays as well? Are things starting to calm down for you?

I hope I got everyone. I didn't work out except for one run. Have to ease back into it. Did KCM circuit burn. Works for me for today :p I have been eating well for a whole 2 1/1 days. I hope I can keep it going ;)

Have a great day every one.
 
Hi everyone,

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

This weekend was crazy at my in-laws we cooked fish for New Year's and drank way too much. Yesterday back at my in-laws with more relatives and helping out. Today I'm resting and finishing up my computer work. Tomorrow I'm off to the gym to take a spin class. I'm also thinking about doing a 3 mo. STS rotation:confused:

Last week working in the city was tough didn't realize what a tourist area Macy's is wall to wall people. Everytime I turned my back my displays were messed up:(

Belinda - Sounds like a fun night and you probably burned a lot of calories too:)

Iris - That's great news about your Mom:) perfect way to start the New Year. Good luck tomorrow and the new few months at the gym.

Kristin - When I was in the city last week it was a slushy mess, hoping it's all dried up by now. Have fun!

Melissa - I'll have to check out the post about you leaving work tomorrow. Work will slow down for me but at least the 1st couple of weeks I'll love it.

Trish - Do you think the weight gain was from STS? I was thinking about you when I was in the city last week.

Helene - So how was mickey? Did you go to Disney? I'm worried about starting working out again this has been the longest stretch I ever had:eek:

Cookie - How were your holidays?

Lori - I'm guessing you'll be crazy like Lori too:)

Amelia - Is work over for you?

Heidi - I didn't realize you live in Florida, I heard you had cold weather recently.

Have a great day:)
 
Happy New Year!
Wow, hard to believe we're already two days in....
Belinda, Abba's Dancing Queen is going thru my mind now as I'm thinking of you. Glad you had fun; it sounds great.
Amelia, I need to check out your blog! Congrats. What is motivating you these days? Cause you are doing so well.
Trish, glad you're back. Is your dd having a test on her first day back?!! That's crazy. I'm gonna do Cathe's Jan rotation. It's supposed to be for fat loss, so it sounds good.
Helene, glad you had a good vacation. Yeah, when are we getting together?
Iris, good news on your mom. Did you already have a lot of people in with their resolutions?
Deb, I saw in the NYTimes lots and lots of snow and slush. Don't envy you with that, but do for the spin class.
Kristin, I used to live at the south end of the MNH! Did your sons see the dinosaurs? I've done sts 3 times now and love it.
Melissa, almost done! You and Belinda are our dancing girls. Did you get a nap in?
Heidi, how are you doing? Have you recovered alright?
Lori, hope you're not running around too much.
Did a kettlebell wo this morning. Wanted to go for a walk this afternoon but too many other things kept coming up. Anyone else doing the Jan rotation?
Cookie
 
Just finished Disc 33 and abs from C&W. I was looking at Cathe's Jan rotation and it looks intense! I don't have the new strength DVDs so I would have to sub in something else but I might do that after STS...

Trish, welcome back! I bet those 8 pounds are from water weight; you will lose it in no time! I was kinda dancing last night; we went to a show down in the city near Times Square. That place was a zoo! I can't imagine what it's like on NYE :eek: This is my last week of STS.

Helene, you're right it was very anti-climactic. Even though she said she wasn't surprised, I know she was. I bet when the head biotch comes back from her vaca this week, heads will roll. I plan on warning the new girl about their tendencies to treat their employees like they're property and not to allow them to do it to her. Good job on eating well and not gaining anything during the holidays!! I wish I could say the same :confused:

Deb, omg I can't imagine working at the Macy's downtown; that place is nuts during the holidays! Glad you survived ;) Have fun in spin!

Cookie, I want to do her Jan rotation too. It looks intense: just what I need to get my butt in gear. I did get a nap in until the dog decided he wanted to sleep on my head. He has a habit of doing that.

Have a great night ladies!
 
Evening everyone.

Back from vaca one day and it looks like my house was visited by a pack of wolves :confused:

Melissa: You are making me feel better. I didn't know the head bi@tch was not there. So there might be fireworks yet ;) And I might not have gained during the holidays, but I am up quite a bit over this past year :confused: So I have plenty to work on......

Deb: That's asking for trouble watching your displays with mobs going through the store. I think you are only supposed to look at them when the store is closed and then pretend it is going to stay that way :p I can imagine you wanting to swat people's hands away. LOL. No Disney by the way, just down in Fort Myers with parents :)

Cookie: I'll start the January rotation tomorrow. It just looks too evil to pass up :eek: I hope that fat loss does come with it too ;)

Good night all. I will start the Jan rotation tomorrow morning. I will just do 40/20 instead of double wave tomorrow morning. LOL. Modifying already.
 
Good evening,

After we came back to Grafenwoehr this morning (9 am) I relized my lap Browler had a very deep cut in his hip:( it was so deep I could see his bone:eek: we ended up taking him to the vet. Browler cut himself outside on a ice or on the fence? We believe on a piece of ice or brench? The cut is so deep he needed a stabel. That poor dog!

Welcome back, Iris! Missed you! So happy about the good news about your mom.

Kirstin - enjoy your rest day today. Congrats on STS. You gonna love it. I will do anoter round as soon as I am done with this rotation, I still have 3 more weeks!

Melissa - you had a late night too! Hope you enjoyed your mix of workouts today.

Welcome back, Trish! Sounds like you an awesome time! I also gained 8 lb, all those workouts and I am gaining weight:mad: Like
Melissa said, I think it's water weight and stress ( I was under a lot of stress lately). We will lose it again, ok!

Helene - I danced my butt off, lol! Had lots of fun with my kids, sis and DH! WTG, on D33 today.

Debbie - glad you had tons of fun at your i=laws! Have fun with STS tomorrow.

Cookie - ROFLMAO! That's was the kind of music they layed in the club! LOL! Do you have a kettlebell DVD? The Jan rotation looks awesome, still have 3 more weeks to finish my weight rotation.

Amelia - how are you feeling? Any better?

Heidi - my DH's family live in Tampa FL!

Hope I didn't miss anyone, if I did I am sorry!

Good night, ladies!
