Commit to get fit & lean for June!

Good morning,

Sorry for not checkin in yesterday. Took DH for lunch, than Alesia and I cooked dinner for him.

Lori - I don't think you are complaining! It doesn't matter if your husband is in the military or not, he is gone and you are alone w/your kids, right? It's tough!! I totally understand what you are going through, you gonna have good/ bad days. Do you use skype, at least you can see your DH? It will take time for you to get used to him beeing not around. I hope the time will go by fast. for you and your family(((HUGS))) How are your kids doing with your husband beeing gone?

Kirstin - glad you had a wonderful weekend and bday. I am with you on the preorder, I thought the same thing. I will wait until Cathe sells them as a "Deal of the Day"!

Cookie - glad your are done with your grant-writing. Good for you getting that nap in. I never took one, lol.
Debbie - how are you feeling today? Hope better.

Today I will do Pyramid UB plus Hiit 40/20.

I will be back to report my workout. Have a great day,everyone. It's raining here:confused:
　
 
Good evening,

Workout is done! Pew! that was one long workout.

Kirstin - when are you in Florida? DH just told me we are going to Orlando (WD) July 5:D hope I will finish my rotation:(

Waving Hallo to the rest of the gang!


I will be back in the morning. I am beat. Good night.
　
 
Hi all. I am so busy getting ready for Florida on Thursday!!! :eek::eek::eek: We are all so excited.. . it is like Christmas around here, lol.

I ended up doing KM low impact premix.

Belinda- too funny, you will be in Orlando three days after I leave!!! We are there from 6/21 to 7/2. I cannot wait!!!!

Lori- OMG about your "friend". 10 pounds while on vacation!! :eek: What did she just eat and eat and eat! I am bringing some dvds with me that do not require a lot of equipment, like Slide and Glide and Travel Fit. The place we are staying at also has a gym with free weights.

Cookie- how was your webinar?

Deb- did the dessert include chocolate? ;)

Okay, I will bb tomorrow.

Kristin
 
Hi,

I had a busy day today, but the weather was beautiful:) I did Turbo Barre tonight. I'm bringing my car to a transmission specialist for a 2nd opinion on Wed. & he's thinking he can do it for a lot less (fingers crossed). DH said I shouldn't have given the 1st quote to him but sometimes I'm too honest or just don't think.

Belinda - Your Father's Day sounded like fun! Are you going to Disney too?

Lori - It's funny a couple of weeks ago I became upset after a phone call & no one in the store noticed but I was happy about that;) I hope you were able to get your w/o in. I didn't realize your course lasted 2 years, hopefully you can just renew it without as much studying.

Kristin - You would have to hit all the concession stands to gain 10lbs & that would just cost to much at Disney:eek: I'm excited for you & your family:) The dessert did include chocolate!

Cookie - I hope your webinar went well . . . I'm guessing you were able to wear anything on your feet including flip-flops;)

Goodnight:)

'Morning! The internet wasn't working again last night so I couldn't check in.
Belinda, bet your dh enjoyed yours and Alexia's meal. I was tired just thinking of your workout!
Kristin, almost to Florida. Have you started packing?
Lori, your parents must balance each other out with their energy levels. My dh has less energy than me, but at times I envy him for being much more laid back. When my kids were young, I was often just happy every one made it through another day. There were just too many things to juggle.
Deb, no stripes or flip flops! I was made sure of my footwear. Webinar went really well, TG it's over. How did it go with the transmission? I'm with you with being too honest.
Turbo barre yesterday and walk. Loving this weather.
Cookie
 
Good Morning :)

Had a little sleep in this morning...and by sleep in I mean that we weren't up before 7! The baby has been up before 7 the last 2-3 mornings.

I don't have much on the agenda today. My sil mentioned going out for dinner tonight with the kids and then stopping to get some flowers for my boxes, that should waste a evening!

Yesterday's workout was long. I wanted to do weights and cardio so I did:). I did 3 miles (25 min) on the tm, HIIT pyramid, 20 mins tabata spin, MMA boxing combos and GS B,S &B. I love doing those boxing combos with weighted gloves before weights...I'm so sore after. So needless to say I have DOMS in a few areas today:eek:. Even in my quads and I don't know where that came from. I'd blame the spinning butt usually do that once a week anyway. I was thinking about doing legs or GS chest and tris but I think everything may already be to sore so I may just do cardio and abs. It's a beautiful day for a run but it's hard to do that with 2 kids!

Belinda**the kids are doing good. DS said last night that it was time for daddy to come home now but at least he isn't crying. He's more concerned about the present DH is sending him in the mail. We did FaceTime last night and when the baby heard his voice he just stopped and listened but he couldn't really focus in the iPad to see him. Hopefully he won't forget him but he is only 4 months old.

Deb** I can hide being upset pretty well. We made it through our first week!

Kristin** I can only imagine how excited everyone must be! I can't wait to go back to fl! I don't know how the gained so much weight on vacation. I'm guessing they eat from the time they get up till they go to bed!

Cookie** I have yet to try turbo barre...or slide and glide...or the yoga DVDs....see I have lots of things to keep me busy. Just need everyone to leave me alone long enough.

I will check back in later!

Lori:)
 
Hi,

We went to visit DH's Aunt & Uncle at my in-laws they are visiting from FL. So I couldn't get a w/o in but will try & double up tomorrow because I have the day off.

Belinda - You have been very busy this week.

Cookie - Does work get easier now that it's summer? Tomorrow I get the transmission checked out.

Lori - DH won't recognize you with the w/o's your doing;) You must be doing the happy dance that one week is down!

Kristin - DH's Uncle told us tonight that Disney's tickets have gone up to $100 a ticket:eek: It's crazy that they can charge that much.

Goodnight:)
 
Hi all! Quick check in for me. I am up early because I am chaperoning the Great Adventure 8th grade trip today. I started packing yesterday but I gave more to do. I ended up doing AT last night. Today will be a rest day but with all the walking around it will be an ACTIVE rest day. I will try to bbl.

Kristin
 
Good Morning:)

Baby is up before 7 today *sigh* :eek:. It's a good thing I went to bed when I did. It's another beautiful day here. The weekend,not so much. I was hoping to stain the decks but it's suppose to rain. Add that to the fact that I dread the weekends...and it doesn't sound like much fun to me:eek:

My dad showed up here yesterday morning b/c his motorcycle was getting a new tire. So I went for a run with the baby while he stayed with DS. It was very warm out...to warm. I went for around 45 mins and did abs after. My legs are still sore from the mysterious workout on Monday! Today will be GS chest and tris and another run hopefully. If DD is awake I will run outside.

Deb** doubling up on workouts makes me feel like I didn't miss one:D. That's why I did so much on Monday. That and the fact that I do what I can, when I can.

Kristin** hope you had a fun day with the kids!

Not much planned today. DS has apts for the next 3 days. His kindergarten booster today, behavior tomorrow and speech on Friday. I haven't decided which child is the most work yet....but saddle enough I am leaning towards the 16 yr old. She def "mentally" the most work while the other two are "physically" the most work.

BBL!
Lori:)
 
'Morning!
Belinda, has your back completely recovered? Hope so.
Kristin, keep cool today; it is supposed to be really hot and humid.
Lori, like your attitude that you can do what you want! My child that wears me out is also with the mental/emotional aspects.
Deb, $100? Wow, wonder how families can manage that. Hope you have air conditioning today, especially with the double workouts.
Okay, running late for work now, so core yesterday, rest day today.
Cookie
 
Good morning,

Sorry for not checking in yesterday, had a very busy day cleaning the house and picking plums from garden:confused: now I have to figure out what to do w/all those plums:eek:

Yesterday I did Cardio Super Sets. Today I will do Pyramid lower body.

Cookie - my back isn't completely recovered. Need to make an appt soon.

Lori - aww...what your little one said about daddy (((HUGS)):( Glad you and your kids are able to see/take to your husband. Be careful running in that heat. It's in the 99's here. Now way I will run outside.

Kirstin - hope you had fun. Almost vacation time. Tha's crazy how they raised the ticket price!

Debbie - glad you had fun with your DH's Aunt & Uncle.

I need more coffee than I will get my workout in before it gets to hot. BBL!
 
Good evening,


Didn't get my workout in the morning, got it done this evening. At least it's done!:D

Kirstin - have fun in WD! Safe travels!

Hallo Lori, Debbie and Cookie.



Good night girls. I will be back in the morning.
 
Hi,

I finished up bi's from last week:confused:, decided to work hamstrings & did deadlifts, curtsey lunges, kettlebell swings & firewalker work from TB. With the heat it was hard to get motivated & I was in AC:eek:

Belinda - Were the plum trees there when you moved? You'll have to look on the internet for some recipes.

Kristin - I'm sure you had a lot of fun at Great Adventure. The water rides lines must have been insane today:)

Lori - When the boys can play together it should get easier, not sure about the DD though;) My SIL said it was easier when my niece went to college. It sounds like your family is really helping out especially when it comes to your runs.

Cookie - I hope your A/C at work was working today. They put my car off for another day or 2:rolleyes:

Goodnight:)
 
Hi ladies. Well, I survived Great Adventure, lol. It was soooo hot there. By 1 o'clock I was done. I had a large group. Normally we get 8 to ten students each. I had 13. Luckily they were good kids. All of them except one girl wanted to go on the crazy roller coasters, so I didn't go on many rides because I didn't want to leave the one girl waiting. I took her on the log flume and other less thrilling rides so that she got to do something other than wait around. The worst part of the trip had to be the bus ride home. The AC was broken on the bus :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

We tried to stop at a truck stop. The bus driver thought he could fix it, but he didn't, which meant that all we did by stopping was extend the length of the trip. I did not get home until after 9 last night, drenched in my school tee shirt. I managed to take a shower and go to bed, lol.

Anyway.. . enough about that. I am going to
FLORIDA tonight!!!! ;)

I am thinking if I can get out early from work I might do Slide and Glide or another workout. I will let you know!

BBL to catch up.

Kristin
 
Good Morning:)

I'm happy yesterday is over! DD is being a real treat....I think some how she is managing to take advance of the situation here. Then when I logged in to our cell phone bill account, the new bill was showing over $600!!!! I nearly fell off of my chair. Mine and DD's bill were the same but DH's old number was showing $345 and his new number which he's had for ONE week was showing $119! He is suppose to be dealing with it somehow. Needless to say DD's foolish crap and that cell phone bill took the sleep out of my eyes and it was after 12 before I fell a sleep and up before 7 again. I am suppose to play cards tonight with the girls and I don't know how I am going to stay awake for it.

Yesterday's workout was GS chest and tris. And I run in the evening....I did 9 km. I am not sure what I will do today. The kids are officially out of school so I have the girls all day but my good friend offered to take them for the afternoon. If that happens I will be having a nap when the baby does! But I am super sore from yesterday's chest workout! And my back is still sore from Monday's workout.

Belinda** it never gets that hot here! It gets hot enough though. I have to run in the am if I go outside....if not I have to wait until after dinner. I usually like evening runs but yesterday I didn't feel like I was running that fast. My watch showed a pretty good time though.

Cookie** I have to keep a good attitude so that everyone remains alive:p. I have to say that I am surprised that she is the one causing me the most grief. Last nights issue wasn't something she did yesterday....it was something that resurfaced. I don't know why kids have brains...cause they don't appear to use them for much!

Deb** we weren't planning on having more kids but if I knew this was my future I would have had them closer together. DS can play with kids any age so hopefully that continues. I can already tell that the baby is going to be on the go. He's rolling everywhere and he watches everything that the kids do. It's like he's trapped in a body that won't move....lol



Well some good news....I am now prepreg weight...126.1 as of this morning. I did see that last week when DH left but it went back up a little bit. 123 was where I was comfortable though and I am sure I will get there without even trying b/c I don't get to sit down a whole lot!

I will bbl to report my workout!

Lori
 
Good morning,

Today I will do AB! But first Aleisa and I will go to DC, little shopping!

Lori - (((HUGS)) so sorry your DD is putting you through this! Kids will take advance of the situations. Been there! My both my kids had a hard time when my husband went to war. Maybe you need to sit down with her and talk to her. I am sure, she is going through alot too. Good job, with your workout yesterday.

Kirstin - OH NO! No AC in that heat, awful! Enjoy your vacation.

Debbie - those curtsey lunges get your good. I alwasy get good DOMS with them. We have like 12 fruit trees ( apples, apricots, peaches, plums, (I don't know what all those trees are?) We also have rasberries, grapes and tomatoes. All the fruit trees were here when we moved.

I will be back later. Enjoy your workouts.
　
　
　
 
Hi,

I did a w/o with my Fluidity bar tonight. I haven't been sleeping well so hopefully tonight will be better. I'm off tomorrow so looking forward to that.

Belinda - Wow, on all the fruit trees wish I lived closer;) When we were in FL we passed an Orange grove & loved the sweet smell. Have fun shopping!

Kristin - Ugh, on no A/C on the bus ride I remember how noisy the bus was on school trips but add no A/C:( Have fun in Florida!!!!!!! I'm jealous.

Lori - I'm sure you'll hit that weight in no time, even though your weight sounds fine. I heard on the news today that Jessica Simpson is getting nervous about not being able to lose the weight but with a $4milllion deal sure she can find a way. I hope you get to go out with the girls because you deserve it.

Cookie - I hope your not melting . . . only one more day of this! I brought my cooler today & was nervous everything would be warm.

Goodnight:)
 
'Morning!
Belinda, what did you and Alesia go shopping for? Any good buys? Wow, that's a lot of fruit trees. We have a few and lots of berries. What we really have a lot of is insects. They're driving me crazy.
Kristin, hope you're in Florida relaxing already. Riding on a bus with no a/c and students - you deserve a vacation.
Lori, it has to be hard for both you and your kids. Does the working out help with stress?
Deb, when I logged in the page opened to June 4th and you were saying you were going to have to get heavier clothes out! How things have changed. Hope you enjoy your day off today. I didn't get much sleep again last night - dh's snoring is really getting to me. Is it stress for you?
tbt ub for me.
Cookie
 
Good morning,

Never got my workout in yesterday. We left DC to late and got stuck in traffic. Took us forever to get home, it was almost 7 pm. I was tired from the heat. Aleisa had an doc appt, besides grocerys(Traider Joe, and the German Deli) I didn't buy anything, We had lunch in DC, I ordered a chicken salad..but my first chicken was burned (it was so burned I had to take it back)! They second chicken wasn;t much better.After arguing with the manager a litte, I got my money back. She had the nerve to argue with me, wrong answer. She tried to tell me thats how they cook chicken, LOL! I didn't pay for the chicken salad. I did ate the side salad, heck...I was hungry! For $16 I want a nice grilled chicken breast not have a burned flaver in my mouth, right?

Debbie - I wished you all lived closer too, I would give you all some fresh fruit.

Cookie - Aleisa found some exercise cloth, I didn't buy anything...have enough for now.

Lori - hang in there, girl! You are doing amazing! Good job, on your workouts.

Kirstin - have fun. you deserve it.

Today I will do AB and maybe another workout tonight?

Have a wonderful day. I will be back later.
　
　
 
Good Morning:)

Had a better day yesterday, thank goodness! And now the weekend is here:confused:. I'm probably the only one who dreads weekends...lol. Tomorrow I plan on staining the deck and I'm thinking on Sunday I will put some flowers in my pots.

It was nice to see the girls last night but I was sooooo tired!!!! While one of the girls was dealing, I got ready for bed so that when they left I just had to lock the doors and get into bed! The baby slept till little after 7 so I feel good this morning. I'm thinking today will be legs and cardio. It may be a circuit using the tm. Yesterday's workout was 3 miles on the tm, 30/30, 4DS shoulders and abs.

Belinda**. I'm sure DD is bothered by DH being gone although she seems ok with it. DS doesn't seem to bad either. It's good when they have no sense of time. Did you buy anything good yesterday!? ...we were posting at the same time....I love salads too and when they are almost $20, there should be no issues!

Cookie** oh yes...working out def helps with stress. It's to bad that the stress usually takes place in the evening when I can't workout...lol. But oddly enough everything always seems better in the morning!

Deb** enjoy your day off! Man...Jessica Simpson was huge:eek:. She had a tendency to be up and down anyway and I think being pregnant gave her license to eat whatever. I saw a interview piece where she said she's eating what she wants and worrying about the damage later. I'm guessing that now she's figured out that that wasn't a wise choice. I did see her on the cover of a mag and she looked good.

I may bbl to report my workout. DS has speech at 1 so I need be done by 11:30

Lori:)
