Commit to get FIT & Lean for June!

Hello guys. Happy Father's Day! Today is also my birthday. I cannot believe I am 36. . . I don't like that number, lol. It has been a crazy couple of days. Friday I did MMA Boxing. Yesterday I chaperoned a 7th grade trip to the waterpark and today we are going to my parents' house. I just finished CSS. I am battling a cold it seems and I have lost my voice, it is very raspy. Anyway. . . I hope you are all having a great weekend. I do not have time to read up the personals, but I promise I will tomorrow ;)

Hi,

Today my fav yoga instructor was teaching on Sunday so I took her class. We went to my in-laws & barbequed for the Dads:) It was a busy weekend.

DS sent me pictures of gf's grandfather's house in California and all I can say is Wow:eek: It sounds like they are having a lot of fun.

Belinda - Glad your feeling better so soon, stomach viruses are rough.

Kristin - I hope you had a yummy dessert today;) I hope you feel better soon.

Amelia - Your vacation sounded really nice. You would think you went during Spring Break . . . maybe it was a bunch of graduates:confused:

Cookie - Did you do anything special for Father's Day?

Goodnight:)
 
'Morning!
Belinda, glad the shot is already working and you're right back to working out. Please take care and don't over do it.
Amelia, dealing with teenagers: it is bad enough when they are your own, but someone else's!!! Urghhh. Since Myrtle is a little closer, its less driving, and then more partying in their minds. Glad you got to the ocean. Bet your darlings loved it. And congrats on getting in a lot of walking plus a gym visit.
Kristin, happy birthday. Sorry I didn't check in yesterday to see and then wish it. Did you do anything special, or was it a double celebration? 35 is the year that bothered me. Thought about turning it so much, I started thinking I was turning 36! Now 36 is nothing. In August I'll have 20 on you!
Deb, are your arms looking really good from all your yoga? Bet so. At least your ds has a nice place to stay in Cal when helping out. Perhaps they need you to go supervise and check it out.
Have a workshop today and the next two days. Looking forward to it but it doesn't allow a lot of time for myself and squeezing in a workout. I'll try. Otherwise, I might just start pacing during it.

Hey girls, Yesterday was 45 mins of LIC and today was a 55 min interval with PH , the Gazelle and my Spin bike.

Cookie-Hope you were able to get in a workout. How did you hair turn out?

Belinda-Glad to hear your feeling better. Looks like your really enjoying Jessica's workouts. I need to go on Youtube and workout with her again.

Kristin-I missed your Birthday wishes yesterday. Hope you had a great one! Did you do anything special?

Deb-Great job with your yoga workout. Sounded like you had a great Fathers day:)

Hello to anyone I missed.
 
Hi,

I did STS tb today. I have to make this quick because Lucy (gf's dog) looks like she needs to go out:rolleyes: Almost every morning she has an accident:mad:

Belinda - Hope you had a good workout today:)

Kristin - How was your birthday? Are you still working out with your co-worker?

Amelia - You have lots of new equipment to keep you busy;)

Cookie - They do say yoga works your arms, I do notice my upper body getting strong. Good luck with your workshops.

Goodnight:)
 
Good morning,

Yesterday I did 43 min weight training w/tubing and Bootylicious Buns. Today I will do JS" Indoor Jogging or Power walk"

Cookie - everything I do is low impact. Hope you get your workout in today.

Debbie - Oh no...about the dog:confused: Have fun with your workout today.

Amelia - how you like the Gazelle and your Spin bike?

Kirstin - how was your bday? Hope you had lots of fun.

Off to get more coffee. BBL!
 
Hey girls,

My workout is done! This morning I did 35 min yoga, just finished Jessica's " Indoor Jogging/Power walk", loved it. I also did 10 Min Trainer abs w/Tony H.

I will be back in the morning. Good night.
 
Hello everyone! Busy few days for me. Yesterday after work we went to the PTA picnic at DS's school. After the picnic we went back to our friends' house and went swimming. It feels like summer! Tomorrow I am chaperoning the Great Adventure field trip. My last day of work for this school year is Friday and it is half-day. I plan on taking the boys with me and then afterwards we will go see Monsters U.

My birthday was awkward because my sister was there. We went to my parents' house. Everyone acted as if nothing happened, the white elephant in the room syndrome. My sister had an attitude towards me though. She didn't say happy birthday or anything. We only stayed a few hours and then hightailed it outta there. Hopefully the next time I see her will be Halloween :rolleyes:;):p:eek::mad::eek:. I just need to stay away from her.

I had to get my car inspected and as I suspected I needed new brakes plus some other stuff. . . $600 later. . . ugh!

Cookie- the contractual deadline to get our year end evaluation, with our 60% points (other than testing) was Monday. . . my lead evaluator didn't give anyone theirs and to make it worse. . . he hasn't given me my write up on the "unannounced" observation. I would like to have it before Friday. This whole APPR thing is too time consuming and unrealistic.

Deb- no work workouts this week. I got enough of a workout packing out my room the last two days. I did have ice cream cake on my birthday ;)

Belinda- great job on your workouts. How is your foot doing? Have you started packing yet?

Amelia- thanks for the birthday wishes. Are your kids out of school now? I cannot wait for Friday!

BBL,

Kristin
 
Morning ladies,

Today is Jessica " Tank Top Arms & KB Ballet".

Kirstin - sorry about your sister & b-day being awkward! Ugh, about your car:confused: that stinks!

Where is Debbie?

Off to get more coffee. BBL!
 
Good evening,

I did all my workouts this morning. I also did Jessica's "How to get Rid of Saddlebags & Inner Thigh Bulge:D Love, love her workouts!;)


I will be back in the morning. Good night.
 
'Morning!
Belinda, lol at the title of your wo the other day - Bootyilious Buns! At least it is clear what bodyparts are the focus of the workout.
Amelia, how are you enjoying the gazelle and spin bike? I got a new pair of bike shorts so I'm hoping that helps. What saddle did you get for your bike?
Kristin, the end of year is so hectic! They are going to have to streamline the appr system; it is way too time consuming and focusing on paperwork instead of growth and development. I just read a comment re people not wanting to have hard conversations b/c they think it endangers a relationship. Instead we should think of the conversation as the relationship, the thread and bonds that connect us. Sort of puts that white elephant in the room into full light. Monsters U should be fun.
Deb, ugh on the dog accidents. Do you know what her/his way of signalling the need is? Took me a while to figure out our newer dog will come just nudge once with her nose. Silly me I thought she wanted a pet with that one. We have two who have trained to ring a bell on the door. Bet yoga is doing amazing things for you.
Ok, no workouts in while at the workshops but did get in a lot of walking and unfortunately a lot of stouts! No more for me. Walk/jog, or more of a waddle, this morning and hoping for more walking later today.
Cookie
 
Morning,

I was up early:( DH and I had to take our RV to the shop, we need new tires. Plus we need to get the RV ready for this summer:)

I will do Jessica's "Stride & Strength 2 + New Summer Leg Shaper". Tomorrow I am getting my hair done in DC:D I will leave tonight and stay with Alesia;)

Cookie - LOL! Bootylicious Buns is a great bun burner;) I had my eye on that dvd for over a year.I finally bought it the other day. It's with Stephanie Vitorino from Exercise TV. She is great! And yes, you can find 2 off the 3 workouts on youtube. I really, really like it a lot, had to buy it:eek: Good job with your walks!

I will be back later. Have a great day,everyone.
 
Hi everyone.

Great Adventure was exhausting. I had a weird group of kids. I got a group that didn't pick a group to be in, so they were grouped together. They were not friends and they were not friendly to each other. I had one girl who had no friends and did not like rides. . . so why did she come? I got them on a lot of rides. They said they had a good time. . . I was happy to go home.

Today I finally got my evaluation. I got highly effective ratings in every category and 60 out of 60 points. The only thing missing is the test component. . . I am thinking NYS will have those by NOVEMBER. . . lol. Whatever. I am very happy with my rating as it is now. I worked my butt off and finally got some recognition of it.

Belinda- do you have a plan as to where you will go in your RV this summer? I always wanted to do a cross country drive in an RV. DH would never go for that though.

Cookie- I wish my family would talk about all this openly. It is so dysfunctional the way it is now. I've tried to talk about it. . . and I've tried in the past to have conversations with my sister. . . which got me nowhere. I would walk away frustrated and with my head throbbing. She is irrational and I just decided it was not worth trying anymore.

Deb- where are you? I hope we are not losing you too:(

Kristin
 
Hi,

I'm sorry I've been MIA & to top it off no workouts to report:eek:

DH & I went to dinner Tuesday after work. Yesterday went to Long Island with my childhood gf's, we went to the beach & dinner for one friend's birthday:) My eating is terrible but tried to be good today & hope to make up for workouts starting tomorrow;)

Belinda - Some of the workouts your doing have some good titles. I'll have to check out the saddlebag workouts;)

Kristin - We went to Robert Moses beach & it was crowded think it was a lot of HS kids & families with their kids. My friend said she thinks a portion of the beach was destroyed by Sandy (so sad :() but it looked like they were working on it. I'm happy for you, you received the recognition you deserve a nice way to end the year!

Cookie - It's funny I thought about putting a bell on the door but it seems like she has accidents when we are not home & we take her out a lot:confused: I missed workouts too but did think about them LOL.

Amelia - How are things?

Goodnight:)
 
'Morning!
Belinda, surprised to read you're going on vacation with your rv - I thought you were going to Germany. Or, are you doing both? I'm with Kristin, in that I'd love to go cross country, as well as up into Canada's Yukon. How do you find all these workouts?
Kristin, way to go! Congrats on your eval. That's fantastic. My eldest son has caused a tremendous amount of pain in our family. While we all realize and acknowledge his illness, it still makes dealing with him challenging. However(!), lately he has been going to group, developing interests, and seems like things are going well. I say seem only b/c it is hard to feel sure.
Deb, glad you're alright and were off enjoying a beach date with the dh. I've always heard some breeds are harder to housebreak than others. A friend would put her challenger into a kennel since they don't want to spoil the area they sleep in.
Going to do a weight workout in a few minutes. Been up since 2:30. Our school district is reorganizing itself and lots of movement, reductions, and reassignments. Applied for a transfer before it even started, and now have an interview for a different position in same district. The upheaval is causing major rumors and uncertainty, which I usually can ignore but now it is starting to get to me. Know I'll have a job, just not sure what, where, or with whom I'll be working, or reporting to.

Bring on the summer!!!!!!!!:cool::cool::cool::cool::cool::cool:

Today was my last day of work before summer vacation. We had half a day to do last minute paperwork and room checks. We are allowed to bring our kids in on the last day, so I brought both DS's to work. My older DS had his last day yesterday. They like to check out my classroom and see my teacher friends. my principal opened up the gym and the kids played basketball and hula hoops. . . it was a lot of fun. After that I took the boys to the diner for brunch and then we saw Monsters U. It was a fantastic sequel/prequel to the first movie. I loved it.

I am so happy that I can sleep later than 5:30 for the next few weeks. I would like to stay in bed until 8 tomorrow, lol. We shall see if that happens with these two wiseguys.

Cookie- I think it is great that he is making progress and you can see it/witness it. Stay positive. I would be more optimistic if my sister was taming meds and seeing a therapist. She isn't though. . . and she is getting worse IMHO.

Belinda- I saw an informercial for JNL Fusion. Do you have this series? If so, what are your thoughts.

Deb- I am glad you got to enjoy the beach out here. I have avoided Robert Moses beach in the past because it is near my school. I don't want to run into students in my bathing suit. The beach by me, Smith's Point has become "shady" though, so I probably will hit RM this summer. I would like to go to Fire Island too, but the ferries have gotten expensive.

Okay, off to rest. Oh, my workout today was HSC. I am trying to do more circuits to burn some off the few pounds I put back on.

Kristin
 
'Morning!
Kristin, congrats on finishing off the year so very strong. Amazing how fast the years go by with the little ones.
Up early to leave soon for King Arthur again. Today my dd and I are taking a class on gluten- and sugar-free baking. I doubt it is calorie-free though!
Have a wt wo planned. Hope we don't get home and I'm too tired.
I'll check back later.
Cookie
 
Morning ladies,

I have a lot of catching up to do:) Had an awesome day with DD in DC. Love my hair. Not sure, what workout I will do today? Too lazy to look:D

Kirstin - congrats on finishing off the year strong. Sorry, I don't have JNL Fusion. Need to check into it. Believe it or not:eek: I never wanted an RV! I was so against it when DH wanted to buy one:confused: I LOVE IT! It's the best way to go cross country, you see a lot more than going in a hotel. :confused:For your husband; we drove through the west and went to see the painted desert (by car virtually impossible with motel 6's available) clouds moved in and we saw nothing spectacular. My DH without saying a word pulled over to a wide spot in the road put up the engine access and told me to cook. When the park ranger came by DH told him the auto club would be there in the am (parks are closed at night). We relaxed, ate, showered and slept. DH woke us early opened the curtains and we were amazed, a site that is once in a life time and etched in your mind forever, the painted desert was absolutely amazing, the desert and rocks came alive in brilliant color. We ate breakfast drove through the park and waved at the rangers as we drove on to other amazing sites. Throughout the US are places that if accessed by car time and comfort is extremely limited based on the length of the drive and the lack of hotel quality. We have had this experience all over, nothing like it.

Cookie - have fun at KA with your daughter. Next week we are going to Germany, after our vacation we plan on going to VA beach for a few day's. There are a few things that needs to be fixed/checked before we take the RV on the road. It's been sitting in the RV storage since we moved into our house:eek: I used to workout with Exercise TV(Body by Jake), it was free. For some reason they close the site down in 2012. I read, that Oprah pumped Exercise TV:eek: It was an awesome and FREE Exercise TV. They had Jessica Smith, Amy Dixon, Kimberly Spreen, Cindy Whitmarch, Chris Freytag a.s. o.! Really awesome instructors! You can buy some of Exercise TV workouts on iTunes and Amazon.

Debbie - glad you had fun with your friend. All those workouts are on youtube and they are free! LOL! Love Jessica!

I will be back after my workout. Have a wonderful weekend.
