Good morning,

My best to all. BBL!

Good Morning Ladies

Today I will 30 min. Cardio and Chest/Back. I hope I have time for everything. My first session is at 9 a.m., and I have to shower and look presentable...lol and pack my food for the week, yet.

I have a new microfridge at work! Actually it's next door at DC's other business. But now I dont' have to carry food back and forth. I did a ton of prep yesterday, I have more tupperware than is probably legal, and later this morning I'll pack it in the fridge for the week.

I'm on my own today at the gym....*sigh*....DC has a doc appointment. Figures...the first Monday of the new year....I can only imagine what the day will hold..lol.

Belinda- Ohhh no!! So sorry about your dog!! Was he showing he was in pain??

Helene- Cool about doing the January rotation....LOL @ you modifying already.

Kristin- I dont' know how long this busy season will last, to be honest. I'm guessing a couple of months or so?? Have fun with STS!!! I started a year ago today for the first time, too.

Melissa- Just thougth I should mention I quit the dump as well....so no more Friday nights! That's great you STS AND a nap in !

Trish- I understand about studying when you can.... I just had the right situation last winter, where I had nothing else going on...except DG once in awhile. Now I can't even think about going for another cert! Maybe this summer..... Oh and competition day is April 30th!!

Deb- So what did you drink New Year's Eve??? I drank way too much champagne with blackberry brandy...omggg so good!!! I actually had a hangover on Saturday......and I had to go into work! lol. I hope you start STS! It's a great New Years start!

Cookie- Hey girl!! We're getting together soon...got it?? lol. Yes, the gym's picked up the last couple of weeks...people hitting it hard before the 1st of the year...can't knock that! lol Are you thinking of doing the January rotation?


Ok ladies.....have a wonderful monday!

 

[jnka825]

Well, it's back to work for me today . This week flew. Plus, i feel like I didn't do much after Christmas because of the blizzard. OMG teh city yesterdya, piled high with garbage on every street. It skeeved me out. We still had fun at the museum though. The boys loved the dinosaurs. Starting STS today! Woo hoo!

Belinda- sorry to hear about your dog

Iris- Hang in there! yay on quitting the dump, OTB right?

Helene and Cookie- that January rotation looks wicked. Good luck

Trish- welcome back!

Melissa- how many days left at the hole? one more week?

Deb- are you starting STS today too?

Hi to Amelia and Heidi!

BBL,
Kristin

 

[bayerngirl]

Good morning,

Today was Chest and Triceps supersets. My tricpes are fried! Had an awesome workout. I also did STS abs "Medicine ball abs + with a partner " 19 min. Did that one with my DD!

Thanks Iris and Kirstin! He is on antibiotics for the next 10 day. He plays and eats, I am glad for that!

Have fun wth your workouts ladies! BBL!

Good Morning...although I have been up fo-eva!

It was nice to have a break from workouts last week. I really enjoyed the time to do whatever I wanted...but now its back to the craziness! I started training again yesterday and met with a couple of new clients. I feel so bad for these people who are over weight and really, I don't know if I should. They kind of did it to themselves. Honestly...do you need an explaination as to why your body is aching? One girls knee caps didn't grow with her knees...and she has muscle spasms in her back...I just can't handle the whining and I can only be nice for so long. It just makes me wonder if its true pain or just imaginary pain b/c they don't want to do anything. Then they can tell themselves that they "tried".
Anyway...so I had 3 training sessions yesterday and 2 meetings. Today so far I have had 2 sessions and another one tonight...plus I work all day. Good thing about this is its a holiday here today so the boss isn't in Yippee!!! I may run out and pick up some new books so I can start writing up workouts.

DS turns 4 tomorrow! Where as the time gone? I almost feel the urge to have another one (dare I say it) Not in the cards right now but ya never know....I just feel like he is growing up way to fast and its kinda sad! And then DD will be 15 in March! Ugh!

So no workout for me today...unless I do something later tonight. I will get my workout in the rest of the week though. Yesterday's workout was 4 miles on the TM and some chest and tris. I tried to do GS legs on Sat but that was cut short. I really don't know if I will be able to stick to a rotation right now, unless I do it from week to week.

Im going to see what I missed!

Morning Ladies,

I stayed up way too late last night...still unpacking and getting the girls ready for school. I got to bed a little after midnight so I took the day off from working out. Tomorrow is a cardio day for me, but if I can make it to bed on time tonight, I just may get up and add the weight wo I missed this morning. On my train ride in I tried to catch up on what's been happening with you all...I've missed a lot!

Belinda - Glad your sleeping has improved. I have been where you are (were) more times than I care to count. Let's get started on those 8 lbs (well, tomorrow that is!). Nice wo for you today!

Lori - So, I'm totally lost on the count. How many clients do you have now? I was curious if you purchased any special insurance in case someone gets hurt during one of your sessions. How is your son doing these days? Your co-worker sounds lazy. Does she ever start a shift after you? If so, why not leave the drinks and things for her and see how she handles it My DD's bday was last week...I have the same feeling...she's growing too fast...SIGH!

Iris - So, what ever happened to DG? Did he finally disappear?? You must be working your butt off for the competition. I'm amazed at Kristin's results and I'm sure you will see the same. Btw, ^5 on leaving the dump Oh, tupperware.....it's kind of addictive, right? Just bought a whole new set over Christmas...I love it, but don't know where I'm going to put it though

Cookie - Is your house guest still with you? I took a quick look at the Jan rotation. It looks like a good one. I'm definitely thinking about it following STS.

Melissa - Woohoo!! So, you gave your notice?!? Are you officially out of there? I'm sure you are feeling so good about that. How many weeks do you have before school starts?

Deb - I think the weight gain was from too much dessert and pigging out in general! I ate foods I never would eat at home, snacked all the time and totally ignored my portions. It really was disgusting..LOL! But, it's over and I'm hoping a few of those pounds were from water weight. So glad I missed commuting to the city during that storm Btw, how is DH's back these days?

Kristin - ^5 on STS and your Cathe goodies! I have to warn you (if you haven't been already). The first chest wo in STS is killer (I think it's D1). There are over 100 push ups!! Once you're done with that wo, you will be pooped, but you'll feel like a million bucks! LOL about the swearing. Your story reminded me of my BFF's 2YO son. On the plane ride home he said something like, "I want to get off the f-ing plane!" - not once, but three times and REALLY loud. My BFF could have died on the spot.

Amelia - Sorry to hear about the lay off. Do you have any propects on the horizon? Seems like the scale has been moving in the right direction for you! ^5s to that! How are the little ones?

Heidi - Hope you're feeling better!

Hope I didn't miss anyone! Have a great day ladies.

 

[gidget1978]

Still need to catch up on the missed threads but I will take advantage of being here alone. I know as soon as I read the other threads someone will blow in and wanna talk to me

Belinda** Glad to hear you had a good sleep. Long over due! Enjoy your workout!

Trish** I haven't purchased any insurance b/c that would make it a business and right now it isn't. Everyone I workout with knows the deal BUT in saying that I am making the two that signed up last night sign a waiver stating that I am not reliable. Technically I am more of a "friend" helping someone workout. As long as I can keep an eye on their heart rate I should be o.k and Im not neglecting them. I just want to see them do well...and I hope they will stick to it when I am not watching them!

Iris** It seems like its been FOREVER since I spoke to you! Maybe your here when I am not. I think you will have a crazy Jan month no doubt. After I met with two ladies last night I dug out some books and started rereading them and I took a whole new interest in them! So I hauled out a few books to flick through while I am waiting for my last set of books to arrive!

Kristin** Dare I say it...have fun at school! I can't believe the kids are back already. We use to get 2 weeks when we were growing up but they only really got a week this year!

Alright...I am going to try and catch up in a while. I haven't seen anyone is a while so the door will soon start swinging!

Lori

 

[gidget1978]

I read through yesterday's thread but I probably won't remember everything

Belinda** I cringe everytime the dog runs out the door and its slippery. I can just picture him breaking his leg or something. Its a good thing you noticed it.

Iris** Glad to hear you mother is doing good. I am wondering if we will be hiring around here. By goal is to get rid of a couple of bills with my new income As long as the tax man doesn't find me I will be o.k. After that...and my course is complete...who knows what I might do.

Trish** Im sure you will get rid of those lbs before to long!

Helene** Modifying a rotation in the beginning is something like I would do. I have had so many people ask me "what do you do" but I never follow anything. My workout regime is all over the place, especially with everything else I have on the go.

Deb** I guess this time of the year isn't a good time to be setting up displays! I always feel bad when I go into a store and I start looking for a size. I feel like I am messing up the stuff that was just folded up!

Cookie** How have you been?

Melissa** I didn't crawl into bed until 4 a.m on New years day either and I didn't get to have a nap the next day. I was wiped that night but for some reason I always get my 2nd wind when its time to go to bed! It drives me nuts!

Kristin** Did you have a good time in NYC with the kids?

I probably missed someone.....

Lori

 

[dr.mel_PT]

Evening all!

I did Athletic Step tonight. I love that workout!

I also contacted another promo model job. They are based out of San Diego but supposedly they do events all over the country and they were looking for girls in my area so I applied and I got the job! Hopefully that will help pay the bills while I'm in school.

Belinda, oh no, poor Browler!!! How is he doing?? I'm glad you are sleeping better!

Iris, good for you for quitting the dump! MMM champagne with blackberry brandy is sooooooo good! So is champagne with chambord. YUM!!!

Kristin, glad to hear you had fun at the museum! I love the dinos too OMG did yo hear about the guy in the city who tried to commit suicide? He went to jump off his building but landed in a pile of garbage so he lived. All those sanitation workers are being investigated too; supposedly a bunch were getting wasted instead of cleaning up the snow 8 days left at the hole!!!!!

Lori, wow you are really picking up with clients! I agree, I can't stand when people whine!!! I just used to tell them no pain no gain lol. I think a lot of it is in their heads and they don't want to do the work.

Trish, I start school on the 18th. I'm super excited!! LMAO @ your BFF's son!! Something about cursing kids cracks me up.

Helene, I have some hole drama for you. So big biotch wasn't even in for an hour and she starts saying how glad she is that I'm leaving and how it helps her because she could hire 2 people for my salary. I'm like really?! She said she "wasn't worried." So now this is war. I made a list of all the shady stuff that goes on around there and when I have my exit interview I will express it verbally AND provide a written copy of exactly how ineffective a manager she is

 

[Cookie57]

Evening!
Belinda, Amy Bento has a good kettlebell workout that I like. Highly recommend it. Hope Browler is doing better.
Amelia, were you resting? I was picturing you putting the kids on the bus and then taking a long nap!
Lori, how many clients? I can't stand whiners, especially w/o any wine in me. The kids grow up so fast, don't they?
Deb, hope you're doing okay and not stuck in a NYC snow/slush/trash pile!
Trish, the house guest is still here, as well as two extras! As much as I love sts, I miss the variety of other wo there are. How much longer are you in sts?
Helene, I was dreading the double pyramid this morning cause of explosive running mans, but they weren't in that one - they're in the one you choose! Do you like them? I live in dread of them in that routine, but love it when they are done.
Melissa, Athletic step is great. Glad you found another p/t job.
Iris, I'm sure you're busy right now. How's your training? Your ciients must be so inspired by you.
Heidi, how are you doing? Did you and your dd have a good holiday?
Hiit - double wave pyramid done and some abs from another video done. Think the lack of sleep this weekend is catching up with me 'cause I'm beat. Late night tomorrow night so might not be able to check in. Plan on doing Amy Bento's kickbox surge in the am.
Cookie

 

[Cookie57]

Kristin, meant to ask if your arms, shoulders and chest are talking to ya from the pushups in sts? It's a good chat though.
Cookie

 

[jnka825]

Just did STS disc 1!!!! OMG, Trish you were right about those push-ups. i was on my knees, lol.

Cookie- were you back to work today as well? It was soooo hard getting up this morning. i find it hard to get up so early, especially in the dead of winter.

Melissa- too funny about the suicide guy. I was say yea right about the story if I wasn't there yesterday to see all the trash myself!

Lisa- this year we got ripped off with the holday break because both Christmas Eve and NY Eve were on Friday's. I think the same will happen next year!

Good night all1
Kristin

 

[helened]

Evening!

Forgot today was my scheduled rest day because of my schedule. Though I didn't do anything last week I decided to stick to it So I start the Jan rotation tomorrow. LOL.

Melissa: Let me just say this. I AM SO HAPPY YOU ARE GETTING OUT OF THERE! I've never met you but you have all my sympathy and admiration for having put up with that place. Treating people like that is unbelievable. I also love AS!

Iris and Melissa: You guys are killing me mixing stuff in your champagne. I hope it wasn't champagne for real (i.e. the only stuff that can be called champagne is made in champagne France). Disclamer: My dad was born and grew up in champagne

Kristin: Welcome to STS (insert evil laugh )

Cookie: I love the running men actually, they kill you but are low impact so I sometimes use them as modifications in plyo legs. Interesting about Amy Bento and KB. Never done KB. What weight do you use for your KB?

Lori: Seriously, I keep reading what you do and I can't figure out how you can fit it in at all with only 24 hours in a day, let alone sleep. So tell us, is lululemon really special?

Trish: Yep, you missed me!

Belinda: Sorry to hear about Bowler but glad he is doing better already. He's had his fair share of adventures as well this past year! Well done on your workout.

Hi to everyone else. Finished my meeting. Now I am off to sleep! Woohoo!

 

[bayerngirl]

Good evening,

Iris - he was licking it!

Kirstin - now I wonna start STS too!

Lori - you one busy bee, hah! You will figure everything out!I don't know how you do it? I was doing 2 workouts and I was overtraining, you on the other hand doing how many a day? Kudos to you! I don't like it either, when people whine!! BTW, nice workouts yesterday.

Trish - hope you got some good night sleep too. Mine improved big times, I had no idea I was overtraining, lol! Feel so much better.

Melissa - wtg, on AS tonight. Still haven't masterd that one! Thanks for asking, Browler is doing much better.

Cookie - Thanks, I will check AB kettlebell wo out. Thanks for asking, Browler is doing much better, he is licking his wound nonstiop! Awesome, job on DWP & abs!

Helene - hope you got some rest today. Enjoy the Jan rotation tomorrow, looks good!

Good night, ladies!
