[bayerngirl]

Good morning,

Yesterday I did High Reps " LB only", did that one with DD! So today I will do cardio, tomorrow I will catch up on legs/shoulders!

Sorry, I don't have time for personals today! My kids are leaving tomorrow I will try to catch up with you all tomorrow!

Melissa - yes! I was born and raised in Germany!

Have a great day and workout, everyone!

Good Morning Ladies

Today is Biceps and Triceps....not sure if I'll do cardio ...I'm thinking some gentle yoga after...
Yesterday did Plyo Legs (D29 I think) for the first time!!! My knees aren't liking me too much today....but wow, what a workout! At the end everyone was high-fiving...I was like wtf is this?? I felt left out, so I went and woke up the cat.

Belinda- Hmmm...I did not know you were born and raised in Germany! So how and where did you meet your DH?

Amelia- Are you starting to feel better? Good luck in the job search!! I know the right one is out there for you!

Melissa- Things are kind of crazy...I dont' know how I'm keeping it all glued together....*sigh*.... So happy you're out of the hole and I left the dump!!! We should all get together this Spring and celebrate!!!!

Lori- Wow, you're really picking up clients!! Good for you! My small group program is taking off much better than one on one's. People just like the group atomsphere I guess (can't blame them!!!), AND it's cheaper. Ok seriously...I need to fb my latest frustrations....they are probably the same as yours! lol

Deb- Has it gotten slower at your gym as the week has gone on?? It has at ours...lol NO I don't miss the dump!

Cookie- Ohhhhh the lovely Apple store...call me next time you go, see if I'm there....I live there. LOL

Trish- So happy your finishing STS!!! Woo hooo!!

Kristin- Just saw on FB....what did you do last nigt???? Ohhh that's right...the faculty party! lol

So I happened to over see some talk about food logs?? Not that you guys could, but I thought I would BRAG....LOL. Each member at our gym gets their own website for tracking their workouts, progress, etc etc. Well now it's been all updated and the meal tracking is free as well. Well I tested before it went live, and it's AWESOME. Better than Fitday , my fitness pal....it's awesome. You can put in any amount, however you measure food (ounces, grams, cups, each, etc), and even some the crazy shit food I didn't think could be searchable was in there!! It's awesome....I WILL be promoting to our members.

So I'm getting blood work done because of my mood shifts and unexplained weight gain. I"m talking 8 lbs unexplained weight gain. Even when I quit smoking and had no idea what clean eating was, I didn't gain 8 lbs! There's not a day that goes by I'm not starving at bed time, and I just keep gaining like a pound a week....it's nuts.... My diet is super super clean, and I pretty much stay within the parameters given. I might sneak an extra 1/4 cup of starch or have a whole banana instead of a half. So needless to say, I'm so super duper frustrated. Add the fogginess I feel most days, I've lost some excitement about my career, and among other things..... it just hasn't been pretty lately. SO, I'm having full blood work done, liver functions, adrenals...the whole nine yards.....*sigh*.

The opinions of those close to me on a daily basis , like my parents, DC, etc...think the diet just doesn't agree with me. Low carb, six meals, just isnt' for me. But damnit, I want it, I'll make it work somehow.......

Ok....so I'm off! Have a wonderful day ladies!

Hi Girls!

Another fly by post for moi! Maybe later my manager will leave the building and I will be able to catch up on personals.

Today I had a workout session at 6:15...getting up before 6 may just kill me Although, I think when I had to be at work for 8, I use to get up at 5:30 to let my workout in. Anyway...had my workout session and then I ran for 4 miles and did CM#1. I fell asleep with DS last night at 9:30 so I should be good to go today!

Belinda** Enjoy your last day with your kids!!! Hopefully you won't have to go to long without seeing them again!

Iris** Ugh! I think we need to meet face to face Some of my clients are growing on me but I wish I had the guts to call their bluffs every once in a while. Not only that...I am a little concerned about my heaviest client breaking my TM. She is only walking on it so that is o.k (I think!) I am thinking my TM as a 250 lbs weight restriction. I also think I am going to invest in some kettlebells! Anyway...when I get a chance I will email you on FB.
Your weight gain sounds a little odd. I find eating whatever, whenever works for me! LOL Maybe your pregnant! Bahahahahahaha!

I am going to run out and do a few things, plus run home and check the mail cause I want my text books! I really hope they are here today b/c it gives me the weekend at work to do what I need to do with them. I have one workout session tonight and then I am taking down my tree. Should be a fairly relaxing evening.

I will try and come back later!

Good aftertoon girls! I finished a workout earlier, 4ds kickbox then lower body weights. It was awesome and i burned almost 700 cals again.

Still dealing with eating issues, you guys know that i have an undiagnosed eating disorder(and if not, you know now,lol) whether its binge eating, compulsive eating or emotional...its not normal and last night i dealt with it again. This morning i went back and logged all my calories back in and the damage wasn't as bad as expected so im getting better. But still, im trying to lose weight so i really need to try harder next time. Sometimes i wonder if maybe im not eating enough calories? Maybe i will get a body bugg or something another....

anyways,

Belinda-so sorry to hear your kids are leaving soon. Hugs to you!

Lori- we took down our tree the day after christmas it was in my way, CONSTANTLY hope your textbooks are in...have a good evening.

Iris-I was thinking the same thing as Lori...could you be pregnant? A lb a week is the average weight gain. I do hope you find out whats going on soon. The food site sounds interesting. Wish i was a member at your gym because it sounds pretty neat.

Hello to everyone i missed. Gotta get some house work done now...yawn.

hello all! I had a agreat time at the party last night. drinking and dancing, dancing and drinking. then my alarm went off this morning and I felt like a truck hit me!!! It was a sloooooowwwww day at work. Got the energy to do Disc three of STS though. This one was my favorite of the week. It was so much fun. I loved how I could rest during htose rest periods!

Iris- re: the pregnancy theory. I just want to add my two cents. when I was preggers with Nikolas, I got my period and so I did not realize I was pregnant until I was 10 weeks. Or it could just be stress related.

Amelia- 4DS kickbox is awesome! Losing 100 pounds, you are keeping that disorder in check girl. And you know, we all fall off teh wagon now and then. The important thing is to get back on it!

Cookie- I know you wanted the link to my success story, so here it is http://cathe.com/so-much-more-by-kristin How was your week at work? how much snow do you have?

Lori- Do you have extra hours in your day that the rest of us don't? You do so much in one day!

Belinda- Awesome on working out with DD!

Hello to Melissa, Deb and Helene.

Oh, did you guys see the new thread for the NJ road trip in 2011? I am hoping to go!
