Commit to get Fit & Lean for January 2015

Hi Ladies!

Okay, my workouts for the past two days have been:
*Total Body Kickbox Cardio
*Low Impact Trisets Upper body

Tonight I meet with my writing group so I shall be off. I need it. My body is still bouncing back from oh, NO WORKOUTS and my hip is letting me know it needs the night off, LOL.

And the past two days we have had 11 EARTHQUAKES in Dallas. I work in Irving, where they are happening, and on Tuesday a 3.5 one rocked the office. There was a rumble and everything started shaking! Then, yesterday we had another one (not as strong.) Today it is 19F out and we might get sleet on Saturday. WHAT IS THIS???????????

Cookie-I'm with you, the new Cathe workouts are simply STELLAR. I really love the weights in this series. How are you feeling now?

Belinda-I'm off to Hallo Fresh to look at the recipes. I've never heard of it!

Kristin-If you ate clean for four days and indulged in pizza, I wouldn't even blink an eye at it. You work hard, you were craving it, totally okay!!!

Debbie-Any report of a fixed vacuum or heater in your house?????????????????

Amelia-I never use a protein powder. My stomach seems irritated by all of them, I don't know why. I just use a spoonful of almond butter for a smidge of protein.

Hey ladies,

Just got back from the doctor. Had a full check up, haven't seen him in a year, lol! Doc, didn't like that:p He wants me to come in at least twice a year:D I have a lot of upcoming appointments.

Before I left this morning DH and I did XT Triceps and biceps. Had a great workout. I need to catch up on laundry then I will do Suzanne Bowen Fitness Stop Watch planks.

Wendy - OH NO!! Stay safe during those EARTHQUAKES. Do you usually get them? We had a really bad one in DC three years ago. I never been through one before, we don't get those in Nuernberg. Let me know what you think about the recipes?


I will be back later this afternoon. Hi to everyone that checks in after me.
 
Good morning,

SBF Cardio Barre 3 = 20 min + Thighs 8 = 10 min is done!

Have a great day and workout, everyone.

I will be back later.
 
Good morning,

I just did SBF Cardio Barre 3 and Tight. Not sure, if I do anything else today, I am very tired:(

Have a wonderful day and workout everyone.
 
Hallo again,

I also did Jessica Smith's Walk on : 21 Day Weight Loss " Low Impact HiiT walk", 30 min. That was a good workout. This weather is getting to me, I am so like bla


That's it for me today. Good night, everyone.
 
Hi,

Yesterday. I took a yoga class & today I started STS M1 D1 chest, shoulders & bi's. Last night we went for pizza and it was so good. DH & I know the owner & his live-in gf (she works the bar) last night they told us that she is moving out. It is sad because they have been together for 18 years & worked together for almost 30 years. He asked her to move out, he was texting all night not sure how the gf didn't think something about that:confused: We really like her she is the nicest person.

Belinda - Wow on all your workouts today!!! You will sleep like a baby:)

Kristin - Have you had any school delays?

Amelia - How are the temperatures by you?

Wendy - Does Dallas get Earthquakes? Must be so scary. Does it have anything to do with Dallas being in the playoffs LOL! So much in the news here because NJ's Governer Christie went to the game last week & the Cowboy's owner paid his expenses. This week he is going to Greenbay but paying for it himself.

Cookie - It's too bad you don't here about the school delays earlier so you could sleep in. It wasn't too bad here today because the sun was shining. I'm sure the cookies were so good.

Goodnight:)
 
'Morning!
Belinda, hope you're not coming down with something. There is so much going around. Or perhaps, it is just your body is tired from all your workouts. We changed satellite providers, only to find out it is someone who has a contract with our original provider!, but supposively we have faster service but still not for streaming. I'm going to try sbf later today and am hoping I can watch it. Stopwatch planks sounds really tough.
Amelia, did you get new shoes yet?
Kristin, another friend w/a boxer was telling me how hers was going nuts w/o getting enough exercise due to the cold. How's Baxter? Thanks for your comments re ds. He's always been a challenge, and for a long time I really must have carried feelings of guilt but to tell the truth, I don't any longer. He drives me crazy! Did I ever tell you about the time we were out somewhere rather fancy, and he got into a foul mood. This woman says to me "who is he here with" as she was scanning the room. When I replied actually me, she looked me up and down like she was judging me. So I told her "he's my husband's son from his first marriage." Then she said "oh!" and starts patting me on my arm like that would explain his miserableness. We all laugh about it b/c if only it were that easy to understand him, esp since I'm the first (and only) wife!
Wendy, hope you had a good, productive time with your writing group. TG you were safe with the earthquakes. I as wondering if you were affected.
Deb, that's sad about them splitting up. Was it uncomfortable for you? Are you going to do all of std?
Got my hair done last night and met up w/friend and her dd. Had fun watching dd try out different hairstyles for her upcoming wedding. Then friend and I went out for a bite to eat and met up with another friend. They tried to encourage me to go hear another friend's husband in a band, but heck on a Friday night, all I really want is my couch not a crowded bar scene. I'm old! Today is lots of office work, housecleaning, and finally going to try out sbf. Will probably also do a JS walk to help get in my 10K for the day. I most definitely need to get my eating back under control. The past couple of days have not been at all close to stellar!
Stay warm and have a great workout.
Cookie
 
Good morning,

After my coffee I will do XT SuperCutes premix #1. And SBF UB/Core w/bands = 20 min.

Cookie - we had the same problems with our provider in your area. Can't wait to hear what you think about SBF? Hopefully it will work for you. When is your DD's wedding? Glad you had fun catching up with friends and family.

Debbie - I did :D I slept almost 9 hours! Can't remember the last time I slept that long?

Boy it's cold outside. I am having the winter blues, lol. I am so ready for summer, lol. BBL!
 
Hi all! Sorry I was MIA. Thursday was my scheduled rest day following the two month rotation. Friday ended up being an unintentional rest day. I felt lousy yesterday, and couldn't understand why. Well now I know. . . TOTM has arrived, a few days early. That makes sense now, lol. So I plan on doubling up. The workouts are short anyway. Today I am doing LI Hiit 2 plus abs 1, then chest and triceps RWH LIHI. Tomorrow is supposed to be yoga, but I might add in some steady state cardio, we shall see. Nothing crazy, maybe Step Moves or AS. Who knows.

We are having our friends over for our post holiday celebration. I have a ton of work to do and then I have to go shopping on top of it for gifts, lol. That's okay, I'll figure it all out.

Belinda- winter blues are getting to me too, lol. I love it during the holidays, but once the tree is gone and the lights aren't lit up when I walk Baxter at night, I am depressed, lol. We got a little bit of snow here yesterday, and my kids were all excited to play in it, and I just felt the same way as you. . . blech.

Cookie- LMAO at the story, not that it is funny, but I can totally relate. One time when I was still trying to have a real relationship with my sister, the boys were young, my youngest was an infant. . . we went to the mall to get Santa pics, and then to lunch. She was yelling at her son so loudly in the restaurant, and he was a toddler at the time, 2, I think. People were staring. I took my two to the bathroom to get away while the scene went on. LOL. Just standing in the bathroom with a baby and a 3 year old, who was asking me what we were doing in there because he didn't have to go. I was pretending I had something in my eye, trying to get it out using the mirror. I wanted to say we had to wait for Aunt V to stop freaking out like a maniac, lol. So uncomfortable because you never know what is going to set them off, how long the anger/fit will last, and when the fit is over, they act like they are fine, but now you are pissed (at least that's how it works for me). This is why I avoid at all costs, and now with this last incident, going after my son at Christmas, I am really going to keep my distance.

Deb- no school delays. Yesterday it snowed about one inch, but it started after 8 a.m., so schools were already starting. That is so sad about the gf and the pizza owner. What is even sadder. . . because they weren't married, she is entitled to nada. Now she spent 18 years of her life working with this guy, helping him with his business, what will she show for it? Unless she is financially independent this whole time, that sucks for her.

Wendy- what's with all the earthquakes there!?! Is the sleet coming today? Crazy times we live in!

Waving hello to Amelia! Check in girl!

Kristin
 
Good morning,

Both my workouts are done.

Kirstin - it's too cold to walk the dogs. Can't wait for warmer weather. Once you kids get older, they probably don't like this weather anymore, lol. Remember when my kids were little and got so excited about snow.

Waving Hi to everyone that check in after me.

Have a wonderful weekend, everyone.
 
Hi Ladies!

Last night was a second rest night, but today I did RWH Low Impact #1 plus bonus abs #1. LOVE THAT AB BONUS! Felt very worked and great by the end! Like Cookie, I got my hair color done today. Nice and blonde now ahhhhh happy. :)

Cookie-You will be pleased to know I wrote 1,000 words today. ;-) We had another earthquake on Friday, brief and small, but enough to feel it. Apparently I will need to get use to this as the "new normal." BAH HA HA on DS being from the "first marriage."

Kristin-I think you've done a really good job at managing the situation with your sister. You are smart to keep your distance. Because let's face it, if this person were your friend, you wouldn't be friends with them acting like that but since she's your sister, distance is best you can do.

Debbie-I'm SO fired up for the game against Green Bay tomorrow! Can't wait!!! Dallas really started getting earthquakes the past few years. It's so weird. And our structures aren't built for them, which is what troubles me the most.

Belinda-WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO on 9 hours of sleep! That's awesome and just what you needed!!

:) Wendy
 
Double workouts done. I did this workout a few hours ago, and my triceps are still shaking. The moves aren't anything new, but I guess the combination is what's frying my arms up, lol. Love it.

Belinda- I haven't walked Baxter in days. I took him in the backyard today for ten minutes and that was all I could handle, lol.

Wendy- you are so right! You can't pick your family, but you can pick your friends. I have friends that have become my pseudo-family because of this situation.

Waving hello to everyone else!

Kristin
 
Good morning,

I will do a nice stretch or yoga today. DH and I will walk the dogs later today.

Kirstin - I hear you on the walks. I will go for a nice walk with them today, it's cold outside but not freezing. Nice job on your double workout yesterday.

Wendy - I really needed that sleep. Glad you like your new hair. I need to get my colored soon.

Waving Hi to the rest of the gang.
 
Happy Sunday!
Belinda, how often do you get your hair done? Mine is every four weeks!!! A terrible confession is that I plan other things around the appt so I can be sure to get my hair done. I really do not like my roots showing. It's my friend's daughter that is getting married - not mine, thankfully! Mine is only 21, and I hope she waits awhile. Did a couple sbf yesterday (barre fire, upper body and core ones) and this morning did lower body and thighs this morning. I definitely feel it. Reminds me of Leah Sarago's ballet body, but the clips flow one to another. W/Leah's you downloaded them and then loaded them in the order desired.
Have you every tried Leah?
Amelia, waving hi! How's everything?
Kristin, oh if only we could pick our family members! You have to separate yourself to protect you and your family. I can picture and empathize with the image of you and the boys in the restroom. It's snowing here and the temp is up to 21. It was 0 earlier this morning. I am not walking dogs today.
Wendy, glad you were okay with the earthquakes. Do you give yourself quotas for writing? Glad you got 1,000 done. Can't wait to read it. It's another hockey one, right?
Deb, how was your weekend? I've also been thinking of the gf w/the pizza shop and wondering what she's going to do now. Lately I've been daydreaming of getting another golden, which is just crazy. We don't need another dog. My dh tells me to just think of the vet bills!
DH left to go out of town but jut texted his plane is delayed, and now isn't sure he'll make his connection. I better get some work done in case he gives up and comes home. Hoping to get lots of office work done so I can watch Downton Abbey and use the rebounder (that's if dh is not home). Also, just hoping to stay awake that late. Yesterday continued on our decluttering mode and filled trunk of car with items to donate. It's amazing how much stuff we have.
Cookie
 
Cookie - I did Suzanne Bowen did a few dvd/workouts with Leah:) I like her personality and workouts. Glad you liked them. I don't get my hair colored that often. Plus I get my hair done in DC, the drive is anywhere from 60 min to 1.5 hours. Haven't found a salon that's worst the crap here in my area. I am getting tired to put so many chemicals in my hair that often. My sister letting her hair grow out. Maybe I should do the same? LOL! I am also into the decluttering mode, just cleaned out my closet. I bought new hangers for my cloth and going through everything.
 
Cookie - guess, what I did yesterday? :p:p Went to Costco and bought a Vitamix for the 4th time:D:p:p:D DH said, he will not return this one. I have to keep it. I bought the 6800, it was $500.
 
Hi,

Yesterday I took a rest day. DH had bought me tickets to go see "Motown" in NYC. I loved the play. There was a verbal fight in the row behind us and a bouncer came because it almost was physical. The tickets are so expensive, who does that!

Today I did a you-tube Jessica barre workout. Back to STS tomorrow. I loved watching the red carpet for the Golden Globes tonight.

Belinda - I was wondering the difference between the Ninja blender & Vitamix, not sure if you even know? Well let us know how you like it.

Kristin - She is still going to work there, but I was thinking the same thing she has nothing to show for it. I'm still returning from Christmas but there are a lot of good buys out there. I hope you didn't have to wrap too;)

Wendy - DH watched all of the game, I only watched the last quarter that was a terrible call:( I was hoping they would win.

Cookie - When I watch ds's lab/german shepard mix it reminds me how I miss a dog. Your DH is right the vet bills are so expensive. I think I'm going to do all of STS. I saw Downtown Abbey won a golden globe tonight.

Amelia - How are you?

Goodnight:)
 
Good morning,

Yesterday DH and I took a nice long walk with the dogs. It was cold, glad I was bundled up. It was nice to go get some fresh air.

Plan for today: XT Biceps & Triceps. I also will do SBF TB Classic Barre 2 = 35 min.

Debbie - I bought the Ninja, the blade is very sharp. I returned that one after cutting myself wasting the blade. You never touch the blade on the Vitamix. You can add a few drops of dish soap into the canister and turn on the Vitamix, it's clean. That's the reason I don't go to games with my husband, we always see those idiots. I don't get people?

I will be back after my workout. BBL!
 
Hey girls,

XT Biceps & Triceps premix #2 is done. Getting ready to do SBF Barre 2.

I will be back tomorrow. Have a great Monday, everyone.
 
Hi Ladies!

Last night was Trim Down #2 by KCM. Love this workout!

ANNOUNCEMENT: THE TREE IS DOWN AND CHRISTMAS DECOR IS PUT AWAY. I know, I shocked myself by doing it, HA!!!

Cookie/Belinda-I started coloring my hair a few years back when my blonde went way dark. Now I do blonde highlights. It really freshens up my hair. Luckily for me my hair holds color really well, so I don't have to do it that often.

Debbie-Good Lord a fight at Motown? I could see this at a sports event but MOTOWN???? Oy vey....

Kristin-I agree, your friends truly are your selected family. :)

Cookie-I never have a quota when I write, whatever I write is what I do in my time block. This is the third book in the hockey series. This time the hero isn't a player but the TV producer for the team. So we are going inside the world of TV production which is fun. At least I'm having fun writing it, LOL!

Waves to Amelia!

:) Wendy
