Commit to get FIT & Lean for June!

'Evening!
Belinda, you must be so excited! Safe travels and stay healthy. We'll miss you.
Amelia, are you sending us your southern weather? It is really sticky up here.
Kristin, the day at the beach sounds great. What a wonderful way to spend the day. I was thinking of you earlier. I'm trying to use spare 10 minutes of time to go thru paper - we have a lot of it everywhere. Since you moved, you must not have any! I pretty much work all year. Not fun. Taking time in July to go to Grand Tetons and Yellowstone, and then two weeks in August for the beach, but I'll have conference calls and work with me.
Deb, once 9:00 comes I am just done. It's like a curtain falls and that's it! I have a few reports that the deadline moved up b/c the superintendent will be on vacation, so I can relate to you getting yours done. My dog chewed part of a couch cushion last night. I turned the cushion around and so far my husband hasn't noticed it. Put get slipcover on my errand list for tomorrow!
Did a total body wt wo again today. Way too humid for cardio.

Hi,

I didn't get in my workout today. I finished up at my stores & spent the night finishing up my reports for my boss so she can enjoy her vacation. It also feels good to be done early:)

Belinda - Happy flying!

Kristin - I'm off tomorrow so I should do cleanmax too! You must like that the rain doesn't come till the evening. The weather was calling for a tornado watch . . . can't imagine that in this area:confused:

Cookie - Ugh, on the couch cushion:( I guess if I didn't have coffee in the afternoon I would be done at 9PM too:)

Goodnight:)
 
Hello ladies! today I went to the beach again with the boys and my brother. He was laid off from work yesterday and feeling down, so I convinced him to come with me to the beach. It cheered him up a bit. He claims he realizes now that he needs to go to college and get a degree. He is 30 and I have been telling him this his whole life. We shall see if he follows through. He is getting married in October, but he doesn't have kids and doesn't plan on having them, at least not right away, so there is no reason for him to not go back to school if it something he will really do. Anyway. . . at the beach my oldest DS double-dared my brother to swim all the way to the buoy and back. My brother was scared (we watched the movie Jaws a million times growing up and the first scene with the girl and the buoy popped into our heads as my son dared him to do this). He did it though, much to my son's delight. He is a hero to my son today, lol.

After the beach, we came home and I really didn't feel like working out, but I did manage to push through and do something. I did 4DS HIS, step only and then AC no equip abs. It's better than nothing :). I was a sweaty mess. It is still pretty humid here.

We are having steaks, potatoes and green beans for dinner. I need to shower and get ready.

Oh, we have air conditioning, well at least in our bedroom :). Much better!

Cookie- I started reading And The Mountains Echoed, the new Khaled Hosseini book. I am only 70 pages in, but I am hooked already. I love his style of story-telling.

Deb- Good job getting your reports in early! The rain came last night. It poured on and off. I love the sound of rain at night :).

Okay, off to shower!

Kristin
 
Good morning,

Thanks ladies! Miss you all too! I am very excited. Miss my kids already:confused: Our flight was only 7 hours to Frankfurt, not to bad. Having trouble sleeping:confused: It's only 3 a.m, can't sleep. Everybody is still sleeping.When we landed it was only in the 50's:confused: Will try to get a short workout in before everyone is getting up;) Tonight is a big family dinner. Wednesday we are going to Italy:D Can't wait!

Good job girls,keeping up with your workouts.

I will try to check in later today, if not tomorrow.
 
Happy weekend everyone! Today the boys are exhausted. I am letting them veg out on the couch and watch movies. They had a lot of excitement for the first week of summer vacation. I did more cleaning. . . this time the bathrooms, and straightening up. Then I did Supersets for my total body workout. I am wondering if I should create a rotation for July or not. This month I have just been doing what I feel like, and doing mostly cardio and circuits to try to shed a few pounds that crawled their way back into my stomach, lol. I miss lifting heavy though. I wonder if I should do STS. Now that I have more space to workout in, and I don't have a basement underneath me, I am thinking of finally getting Circuit Blast and Hiit. Then I could follow the real STS/shock cardio rotation. Have any of you done this rotation? What were the results like?

Anyway. . . tonight we are going to a cool Blues and BBQ place by the water. They have live music and amazing ribs from what I've heard. We are going with some friends and the kids are staying home with a sitter. I got a new halter tank I want to wear! I need to desperately get a pedicure. I am going to run out and get one after DH gets home.

Belinda- I always get jetlagged even when I stay within the same time zone, lol. You'll adjust in the next day or so I am sure. Enjoy your family dinner. Have you ever been to Italy before? I would love to go one day. Will you share some pics?

Okay, off the put my equipment away. Then I need to mop up my sweat :eek:.

Hi,

Yesterday I took a yoga class & went out with my SILs for my one SILs birthday. We had a really good time, service wasn't good so we didn't drink very much which I guess is a good thing. My one SIL who doesn't usually come out came out so that was nice. For dessert we decided to stop at a place that makes nutella pizza, so good . . . we should have ordered more:eek:

Today I did Supercuts & stopped by my inlaws just put my feet in the water. I need to jump in the shower going to dinner with DH.

Belinda - I'm happy you had a safe trip:) Awesome your going to Italy . . . have lots of pasta, pizza & gelato for me;)

Kristin - Even if your brother gets a 2 yr degree it will put him at an edge for jobs. Your beach day sounds like fun, like the dare between your brother & son:) Have fun & the ribs sound good with your friends.

Cookie & Amelia - Any plans for the weekend?

Goodnight:)
 
'Evening!
Belinda, I'll bet the time zone is bothering you. hope you brought a sweater with you; it sure isn't that cool here! Where in Italy will you be going?
Kristin, I agree with Deb, even with a 2 yr degree he would be eligible for so much more. The beach must be very close to you. How was the evening of fun?
Deb, it is great how well you get along with your sils. What did you choose for dinner? Been doing tb wts 3 days a week and a metabolic one day a week the past two weeks. Think I'm going to continue w/it for a bit and try to do yoga and/or walking/running on the other days. Guess I've been inspired by Deb and her yoga.

Hi ladies. I had a fabulous time last night. The BBQ place had an hour and a half wait, so we went to a fancier restaurant and had a table right on the deck overlooking the Great South Bay. It was great. The food was wonderful, the wine was great. . . I even had a divine chocolate cake for dessert. Today, I was not feeling cardio and I felt tired and blah. I chose to do yoga max, and now I feel better. Cookie- Deb is inspiring both of us, lol. I am stretched out and relaxed. :). I am going to shower, tuck the kiddies in and watch some television.

Tomorrow my friend Jessica and her family are supposed to come out. We were planning to go to the beach, but that doesn't look like it will work out with the weather, so I am trying to see if we can plan something else just in case.

I agree, a two year degree would even help my brother get a leg up in the workforce. He really doesn't have a go-getter attitude though, he never has. That is what has prevented him from reaching a lot of things he wanted in life. I am hoping that going back to school is not just a fleeting thought for him, as it usually is. . .

I will bbl,

Kristin
 
Hi,

I didn't get a chance to workout today.

I went to the farmer's market & took my MIL food shopping & afterwards made my monthly sauce. I forgot basil (need to plant some tomorrow) for the sauce so I asked DH to take me & wouldn't you know it we ran into 5 different neighbors at the store. I guess that's the place everyone hangs at. I usually go to a food store a few miles further and only run into people occasionally.

I'm so happy this is a light week for me so hope to catch up on workouts & cleanmax:)

Belinda - I hope your settling in & having fun.

Kristin - Sometimes plan B works out better:) Have fun with Jessica, is this the 1st time she is seeing your new house?

Cookie - I had a vegetable burger but it wasn't very tasty. I'm glad I can inspire you with yoga . . . you inspired me to try & fit running/walking in my schedule this week;)

Goodnight:)
 
'Morning!
Sorry I didn't check in yesterday. Have no excuse other than I forgot! Perhaps it was the humidity fogging up my brain!
Kristin, it is great how we inspire and give ideas to each other. I did yoga max this morning! Tell Jessica we all say hi. She's sure to have a good time with you whatever you end up doing. However, rainy days spent indoors are not a good combo for boys, especially! What did you eat at the restaurant?
Deb, I did yoga max this morning. Like how I feel afterwards. Lately I'm carrying a lot of stress in my shoulders, and I'm hoping yoga will help me work it out. Glad I give give you ideas. I did jogging walking on the rebounder Saturday and a walk outside yesterday. Had to cut it short due to thunder and light rain. When the boys were young, they would beg me not to run into the small neighborhood grocery since I would stop to chat to so many people!
Meetings this morning and afternoon. Late day dentist appt. What an exciting life!
