Commit to get FIT & Lean for June!

Good Afternoon Strangers;)

I thought I would pop in and say that im doing fine, just been a bit busy here lately. But even in all the chaos, I still manage to get in my workouts. XT HiiT done today. Yesterday was a walk interval with Jessica Smith. Lately i've been trying to do interval workouts to help boost my weight loss :) I'm doing pretty good so far:)

Not too much going on today...we may go to a local museum with the kids. Thinking about it...

Belinda, awesome workout planned for today!

I will try to check in here more...I miss you guys.

OH...I almost forgot. I bought me a new workout toy :cool: Bought the Gazelle Edge yesterday online, it will be here sometime next week. Its got a lot of good reviews and I can't wait to try it.:D
 
Hey girls,

I ask DH this morning, he said June:rolleyes: So, I blame it on him:p

I also did Turbo Fire 20 min abs.

Amelia - I saw your name on youtube, thought it was you:D Good job keeping up with your workout.



I will be back in the morning.
 
Hi,

I took a yoga class today. I was so excited because after 2 years:eek: :eek: I was able to do Chaturanga pose without being on my knees. I thought for sure I would never be able to do it. Each class she gives us challenging pose to try and lately it's been Crow (don't think I can ever do that one:)).

Belinda - Your close enough it's almost June now;) Great job with your workouts today!

Amelia - We missed you, but happy to hear your doing well & stop by when you can. Great job with your workouts will have to check out Gazelle never heard of it.

Kristin - Do you still have a lot of unpacking to do?

Cookie - Any plans for the weekend?

Lori - How are you?

Goodnight:)
 
Good evening,

Debbie - that's right, it's almost June:eek: WTG, on doing Chaturanga. That pose is hard. Jillian is doing them in BR. I have to google crow?

Kirstin - you still have a lot unpacking to do, hah?

Cookie - how are you doing?

Lori - good luck with your race tomorrow.:D Miss you, girl!

Good night, ladies. See you all tomorrow.
 
'Morning!
Belinda, starting a wee bit early just proves you are not procrastinator, like me! Am going to do a kb wo this morning, and am debating trying your friend Jessica Smith's. Shouldn't be a hard decision, but the rotation calls for kpc, and that is my favorite workout from Cathe.
Amelia, glad to hear things are going well. Have missed you. Great job on the workouts. Did you make it to the museum with the darlings? I'll also have to check out the Gazelle. My dad's wife has a version of one but it was more a clothes hanger. She doesn't particularly care for working out.
Kristin, how's the settling in? Do you have baseball this weekend? The weather here is fantastic, so it seems like good weather to watch a game, or two, or three...
Deb, congrats on that pose. You must have awesome triceps from it. Holy Crow! Keep it up, and you can conquer that pose also. I stopped at AAA yesterday and picked up maps and travel books. My dh was in heaven. Glad you said wished you had more time at Jackson Hole, we've planned an extra day there already. This trip has been on my wish list for a long time, so I'm very excited. Only wish we could take two full weeks, but we're also doing two weeks at the beach, so I have absolutely nothing to complain about.
Ok off to kb, work, conference call, work, and hopefully squeeze in a dog walk.

Morning girls,

So my dad won a new spin bike at some type of raffle he was in and he wants me to keep until he can figure out what to do with it. :eek: I told him sure, I will do that (hehehehe ;) ) If I like it I may even offer him some money for it.

I plan on doing another interval today. Maybe super cuts or afterburn?

Were planing on going to the beach for about 4days in two weeks:eek::eek::eek::eek: I'm so excited! Haven't been to the beach in a few years.

Belinda- Yeah, I've been doing Jessica smith workouts for about two weeks now, those free ones on youtube. Love tgen. I purchased one of her walking dvds on my "i don't feel like working out but have too' days. It was good, got in a good sweat by the end of 70 minutes. So you going to Germany in June? I bet your so excited !!

Kristin-I scanned Mays thread and what a pain in the but that rent house has been for you. Did you finally get a good renter for it? Hows the new house? I bet your so excited about it!!!

Deb-That Chaturanga pose is tough. I always had a hard time with that one too. I have a few Giaim dvds and there are some really tough poses on there that I still can't come close too. Im just not that flexible :confused:

Cookie-Busy day for you yesterday. How is everything? The museum didn't happen yesterday, my hubby has had a cold for about 3 days now and he didn't feel like it. Your upcoming trip sounds exciting too! Yay for vacations :)

Lori-How are you doing?

So work is the same old thing. I have a love/hate relationship with my job. I love decorating the cakes,baking bread and making the other countless sweets that we offer but there are some days when I just feel completely stretched to my limit, so overwhelmed. The problem is that the grocery store I work at expects the 7 employees that work in the bakery to do the job of 10 employees so were all overwhelmed on most days. :( My husband said that its like that at almost every job now days.

I just do the best I can and try not to feel bad on what I couldn't do. :)

Hi ladies. I am so sorry I haven't been on here. It was a crazy week. Wednesday we had friends over for dessert and I never got a workout in, but it was nice to have company and have all this space :). Then Thursday I did All out, premix skipping the step part because DS had baseball and I had to fit it in before the game. Friday my classroom was so humid, hot and gross, it wiped me out. I ended up feeling sick after dinner and just went to bed. Today I did clean max ;), and then AB. I have gained 7 pounds since April and I want to get it off ASAP. I am going to try my best to workout 6 days a week and eat better.

After working out I headed to Kohl's and got a queen comforter set and some clothes ;0, now that I can use my card again, lol. The boys needed some underwear and shorts too, so I figured I would use the sale as an excuse.

The house is coming along. We are having a BBQ birthday party for DS next week. When school is all done and settled we want to have an adult only housewarming party here. Should be fun!

Belinda- we really just have the office and knick knacks and pictures to unpack. The house is in order for the most part. I just want to keep everything looking new, lol.

Deb- great job on mastering that pose. It is a tough one, so is crow. Loving it in the new house. Every time I pull into the driveway I cannot help but smile.

Cookie- last baseball game of the spring season was Thursday, but we have Fun day tomorrow. That is when all the boys get their trophies and they have sort of like a field day with the teams. It is fun, but right in the middle of the day! Summer season starts after July 4th so we get a bit of a break. I have five days of classes left before the summatives/finals! CANNOT WAIT!

Amelia- we got a great tenant right before we closed on our house. They moved in two days after we moved out. It has only been a week, but they have planted flowers and have made the front lawn look beautiful. I hope they stay for a few years :). It all worked out in the end. I didn't even have to pay the mortgage payment on that house for June because they moved in and gave me the rent money :).

DH and I are going out to dinner tonight. I have eaten well all day. Wish me luck!

Hi,

Today I did Butts & Gutts my upper body was too sore probably from getting that pose:confused: I took a nap today & for some reason have been feeling dizzy on & off since.

Belinda - You popped in last night, what were you up to today?

Kristin - It sounds like your settling in. It also looks like you have good renters that will treat your house like it's their own.

Amelia - Wow, a spin bike you should give it a try! I think your DH is right I've been hearing a lot of that too:( A beach vacation, how much fun.

Cookie - It's great that you are getting in vacations, it's been rough for you that past couple of years. I think we did it in 10 days and it worked out.

Goodnight:)
 
'Morning!
Belinda, when do you leave for Germany? I'm sure you can't wait to get there. Wait til the see the even more healthier and firmer Belinda. Are others in your family into health and fitness?
Amelia, a spin bike and a gazelle?!! Wow, you're winning the lottery! Unfortunately, I think your dh is right. Both my dh and I have found our jobs increasing over the years with less and less support and w/o increased compensation. I'm seriously considering wondering what else I can do b/c I just don't see how I can keep up this level of work w/o compromising my health and relationships.
Kristin, only a bit left to unpack and set up? You sure have been busy. How was baseball in the heat and humidity of yesterday? Seems like it must have been sweatball. Wow, did you get lucky on the renters. An adult only housewarming party would be great.
Deb, bet being able to do and even try that pose tired out your ub. My tris and wrists are sore just thinking about it. Oh, now my chest and shoulders are having sympathy.
My youngest ds is coming in this afternoon for a quick visit, leaving tomorrow. I'm so excited to see him. Am in the midst of three major work projects so not sure about getting in a wo before leaving to get him. I should do another kb to relieve some of the frustration of doing these darn projects. A lot of stress eating last evening.

Hi ladies. Today's workout was high reps. We had a great time at fun day. DS's birthday is Sunday and we were planning on having a small birthday party. Well between family, kids, adults. . . We are looking at 40-45 people! Ahhhh! It'll all workout I'm sure.

Cookie- do you work through the summer? My lead evaluator still has to do observations and we only have five teaching days left!!!:eek: btw- where are you going on vacation? I missed that. Very exciting!

Deb- yoga can I've you some biting DOMs. I never expect them with yoga, but they surprise you with a bite!

Okay off the enjoy the quiet now that the boys are sleeping. Good night :)
 
Morning ladies,

Sorry for not checking in yesterday. Yesterday we went and saw to the American vs. Germany soccer game in DC.

Came home just to find my lap dog locked into my bedroom the entire time we were at the game):mad: Make a long story short, he ripped up the entire carpet in front of the door:confused:. I guess, he tried to get out. He can not be along when thunder/lightning is outside. He gets scared really bad:mad: Now I have to replace the entire carpet, I doubt we can patch/match the carpet by the front door. So this morning I have to go carpet shopping.

Kirstin - that's a lot of people:eek: Glad you had fun this weekend. All unpacked:eek: wow and good for you.

Cookie - I will fly on June 28. And no, I am the only one into health and fitness. They think I am nuts for working out:confused:

Debbie - I was up late Friday:p How was your weekend?

Amelia - how nice! Enjoy the spin bike.


I will be back in the afternoon.
 
Hey ladies...short post this morning as I got 9 minutes to be at work( luckily I live 2 miles from work)

Yesterday I didn't feel like following a dvd so I did some weights with music, Legs, chest and back then did about 20 minutes of short Hiit.

Im thinking today will be a dvd...not sure what yet.

Ok...anyone have a spin bike or have experience with them? The seat on mine is terrible. So uncomfortable. Any ideas on how to make it more comfortable or wear I can buy a new one?

later gators with personals:)

Amelia - you have to get used to the seat!:p They are very uncomfortable. Or buy a new seat.....my best bet would be a bike store:eek: From my experience, it should get better after a few weeks....if you ride the bike on a regular. Or you buy special bike shorts(they have cushion), but they are kinda pricey.
 
Hi ladies. Today's workout was All out, timesaver premix with floor cardio, step and core #1. It was hard to go to work today. I never want to leave the house, lol. Is that normal? I just love it so much. I don't even mind cleaning it. It is fun. I put on my music and because the floor plan is so open and the ceilings are high, the music plays everywhere. I just love it. I will have to post pics soon.

Anyway. .. I managed to drag myself to work today. It was humid and icky, even though the temp went down.

Amelia- I agree with Belinda. . . you have to get used to it. When I take a spin class for the first time in months, it is very uncomfortable. After taking a few consistently, it goes away. I don't stick with it though. Spin is not my favorite.

Belinda- I am counting down to the last day of school and you are counting down to your trip to Germany. So much to look forward to this month! Your poor dog! He must've been so scared and then to feel trapped on top of it. That stinks about the carpet too! Maybe you'll find a carpet you like even better!

Okay, off to bed!

Kristin
 
Good evening,

Went carpet shopping all day:mad: To replace the carpet in my bedroom is between $3000 and 4000 dollars:mad: That's a lot of money! We looked at Costco's carpets, someone will come this week to give us an estimate. I have a feeling it's not gonna be cheap. We shall see. I am also considering instead of putting carpet down, maybe wood floor? I personally don't like carpets, but if we do decided to sell our house in a few years...a lot of people like carpets:eek: There is a lot to think about.

I did JS and JMBR week 7, workout 7 today.

Kirstin - it's normal! Glad you love your new house. Can't wait to see pictures.

Waving Hi to everyone that checks in after me. See you in the morning.
 
Hi,

Sorry missed checking in yesterday needed to finish my computer work. I did Turbo barre yesterday. Today was XT shoulders & back & a few ab exercises thrown in there.

I spent over an hour at Motor Vehicles to get my car inspected today:mad: I did go during lunch time:eek: I ended up doing a set-up that was near Motor Vehicles. It's a good thing because they removed the fixture from the floor because it didn't have enough merchandise on it . . . that's BJ's for you! They would never open a box and put anything out.

Belinda - Ugh, on the carpet situation. Are there hardwood floors underneath the carpet? If there is maybe just get an area rug. Around here people prefer hardwood floors.

Kristin - Too funny about not wanting to leave the house but I can see why. In a few weeks you'll have the summer to enjoy it! Wow that is going to be some party:)

Amelia - I agree with what everyone said about the bike seat. Another option would be to go to either Toys R Us, Walmart or Target & buy a cushioned bike seat cover to put over the seat & that would help.

Cookie - I hope you made it through your work projects yesterday & were able to enjoy time with your younger son. I was so mad at myself yesterday for saving all my computer work to the last minute.

Goodnight:)
 
Morning girls,

My plan for today is: JS Core Stretch + JMBR Week 7, Workout #8.

Debbie - most people around here prefer carpets in the bedroom:rolleyes: Good job on your workout after your stressful day.

I will be back later.
 
Morning girls, Im off work today and desperately needed it. I came home yesterday and was feeling so frustrated...and my DH had to go to work so we didn't have time to talk :(

Belinda- I say go with hardwood floors, everyone around here loves hardwood floors compared to carpet but were in the south. Don't know if that makes the difference or not? Nice job on your workouts

Deb-Ugh on the car inspection but alteast your set-up was close. Nice job with your workout. I think I will check out walmart and see if they have a bike seat cover.

Kristin-I love cleaning to music..its so relaxing:) LOL at you not wanting to leave your new house...congratulations again.:) nice job on your workout

Cookie- how was your visit with your son? LOL at me hitting the lottery with my new workout toys. I can't wait for the gazelle to get here:) should be soon.

Hello to Lori

Not sue what im going to do today? I know were going to walmart later on, after DH wakes up ( he worked last night). Guess I will get in a workout before then...have a good one girls:)
