Commit to get Fit & Lean for March 2015

Thank God we are in March, closer to spring. It is freakin' snowing out AGAIN! :(:mad::(:mad:

I took Baxter to the dog park this morning, hoping he could run around before the snow. Well, while we were there a rottie was following him and started roughing around with him too much. Baxter went on the attack. The owner and I had to separate them and I took Baxter and left. The rottie was antagonizing him, but Baxter was the aggressor as far as who started the actual fight. I was "talking" to him in the car about how nuts he is to actually be willing to fight a dog that big and then I realized he has no clue what I am saying, lol. Anyway, the park is part of a county park, so I took him to a different section where no one was and let him run around. he doesn't come right away when I call him, which we need to work on.

Debbie- so sorry to hear about the accident. The driver was clearly distracted (texting or under the influence). that sucks that you need to get a new car now, especially having just buying it less than a year ago. I hope his/her insurance covers it. I think it is the law that when you are rear ended it is 100% the other driver's fault (unless you do not have brake lights, I am assuming). The fact that you hit the car in front of you shows the speed of the other car, they were not stopping. Good idea to do yoga and stretch it out.

Belinda- thanks for starting us off for the month. How are you liking 21 Day? Oh, if you haven't bough those paleo bars yet, I have to tell you I tried them all and did not like any of them. Waste of my money! I am a very picky eater though.

Waving hello to Cookie, Amelia and Wendy!

Hi,

I took a hot yoga class it felt good especially since it was so cold. I have been cooking for my son & starting to pack for Florida. Ugh, and it's snowing again #$@*% TG it's March. The rental SUV they gave me is terrible in the snow, miss my car:(.

Belinda - Thanks for starting us off this month:) Are you getting snow too?

Kristin - Too funny about Baxter, I bet he would protect you in a heartbeat. My son's dog growls if anyone comes near me but is a friendly dog so go figure. My insurance company said they would give me the money but will get reimbursed from the driver who is at faults insurer. It was such a strange feeling being pushed into the driver in front of me and not having control to stop it:confused:
 
'Morning!
Belinda, sorry you had to feel like you were talking to yourself. You sure are rocking the 21.
Kristin, it must be so frustrating for both your son and you. One more week til the meeting, right? LOL at you talking to Baxter when he can't understand. I talk to my dogs also.
Deb, TG you're alright. Hope you feel okay by the time you fly to Florida. I was rear ended a few years back, and it made me rather nervous about vehicles behind me. You sure don't expect it to happen. Plus, all the paperwork and time involved is horrendous. You sure do take good care of your son by making him food for when you're gone.
I have a wicked, wicked cold. February was the worst work out month that I have had in a few years. Flu, another cold, lack of sleep, and stress all played a part. Today is going to be another rest day since I feel like I'm underwater and my ears keep crackling, I'm coughing, and have a headache. Do you think spring will ever arrive?

Good morning,

I will do 21 Day Fix Total Body Cardio Fix and I am starting SBF new challenge today. I just bought 21 Day Fix Extreme with free shipping:p DH and I LOVE 21 Day Fix so far. I only bought the new set, I will wait until Beachbody has another sale.

Cookie - (((HUGS))) I hope you feel better soon. Please, take care! I have no idea where spring is? We have icy and snow ?????

Debbie - I feel the same about this weather. At least you packing your packs for Florida soon. When are you getting your 21 Day Fix? They are good travel workouts :)

Kirstin - I LOVE the 21 Day Fix workouts. Aleisa did 21 Day Fix Yoga with us yesterday and she loves it too. The workouts go by so fast. I know I said I wasn't gonna order/buy anymore workout dvd's, but I couldn't pass up the free shipping with is still going on for 2 more day's. I think eventually I will get the original 21 Day Fix, I am sure Beachbody is having another BIG SALE this year.

I will be back later today.
 
STS Meso 1, Disc 1 completed! My arms are pumped! I am soooo glad I redid my 1RM testing for this round. I found the weights for each and every exercise to be the perfect amount for me. I was challenged the whole time but was able to do each and every rep. Now I cannot lie. . . most of the push ups were on my knees. I don't know if I'll ever be able to do all those push ups, lol.

Ugh on this snow! My parents left for Puerto Rico yesterday morning. My dad called me when they landed to tell me it was 85 degrees there. I wanted to cry. I said that it was snowing here and he laughed. Real nice, dad! We ended up having a two hour delay for work today, but teachers have to go in on time during the delays, so I went to work and caught up on paperwork. Not all caught up yet though. I am making progress. I am also trying hard to stick to a decent diet. I am upping my protein with the STS program though.

Belinda- glad you are loving the series. Some women spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on shoes. . . we buy fitness dvds and equipment. I always remind my husband of that fact, lol. I bought platemates for STS and I am so glad I did. When I needed 14 # dumbells, I added my platemates and felt the right amount of challenge. They were pricey, but well worth it.

Deb- years ago that happened to me. We were at a light facing east and the sun was rising. The lady behind me couldn't see the light with the glare. She nailed me and with my foot on the brake, and not even knowing what just happened to me, I hit the van in front of me. It was a strange feeling.

Cookie- I cannot wait for this meeting next week. Sorry you have been so sick these last few weeks. Take it easy! You know with traveling this time of year you get exposed to all kinds of germs.

Amelia. . . come out, come out wherever you are, lol!

Kristin
 
Hi,

Too bad I couldn't pack all you in my suitcase! I have some more packing to do & we are leaving early in the morning to go to my Dad's. I didn't get a workout in but did lots of walking today:)

Belinda - I received the dvds & will bring the booklets to read while on vacation. Your right the 21 day will probably go on sale now that they have a new series out.

Kristin - That is great that you Dad & Mom escaped to Puerto Rico. Do they go to the same place each year? Most of my push ups are on my knees too.

Cookie - Everything you said about the accident one big headache;) I hope you feel better & Spring comes soon! I was sore today but not sure if it's from the workouts but will take it easy the next week.

Waves hi to everyone

Goodnight:)
 
Good morning,

I will do 21 Day Fix Upper Fix and SBF UB + Core + Stretch today.

Cookie - how are you feeling? Please rest!

Kirstin - that's how I justify my workout dvd's obsession :p And a gym membership would cost me even more:D:p:eek: Glad you like your plate mates. I never bought them, but always wanted them. I wouldn't mind going somewhere warmer. Good for your parents! I am so sick of this winter.

Debbie - I doubt 21 DF will go anytime soon on sale. I think, it's their best selling set right now:p Maybe around Black Friday? That's when I bought TF and P90X (for my son xmas). Safe travels!! Check in when you can.

I will be back later.
 
Hey everyone. Just finished RWH Plyo Hiit 2, plus abs 2. I love this workout. It is hard but doesn't have the dread factor that some other intense workouts have. So we are getting more snow. . . as if we needed it or forgot what it looked like. My pool cover is off my pool, frozen inside it with a ton of snow and ice. .. the pool company has not returned my calls yet. It is always something! Not only is it snowing now, but Thursday we are going to get walloped again! I cannot take it! The only good thing about the snow today is that they cancelled the 2 hour mandatory meeting on collecting data, which means interpreting freakin' multiple choice tests. I am thankful that was cancelled!

Belinda-I like the platemates, they really do stay on well, and they are easy to take off and add to another weight. They even stick to my neoprene weights. I think that I will see great results this time around between re-doing my 1 RM and having the platemates.

Deb- You are so lucky to be going to FLorida. Wish I could get out of here! I haven't heard from my parents since Sunday, but I am sure they are having a blast and already rockin' tans. I cannot wait for warmer weather and the sun!

Waving hello to Cookie!

Kristin
 
Good morning,

I will do 21 DF Lower Fix and SBF Lower body.

Cookie - how are you doing?

Kirstin - I am glad you like the platemates. I always wanted them, but never bought them. Everyone that owns them likes them. I hear you on the snow, we are getting more too:( Enough is enough:D I am sick and tired of this winter.

Debbie - safe travels!


I will be back after my workouts. Happy Hump Day, everyone.
 
'Evening!
Belinda, you are so good at keeping us all informed about the newest workouts and programs. Are you just doing 21 Day Fix or two programs again?
Kristin, this is the winter which doesn't seem to have an end. I can't believe it. Luckily today got a little over 32 -- actually all the way to 35!! Caused a lot of snow to fall off our roof, which is good but a huge mess to clean up. The gutters are just dangling. DH is in sunny California, so it is going to have to wait for him to come back and take care of it. He's probably going to have to call in help.
Deb, lucky you going to Florida. I'm sure your dad is excited to see you. How are you feeling?
So, I still have a cold, but must have eaten dairy this past weekend. Or at least it was hidden in more than I realized, b/c I've been sick from that. Not only does it affect my digestive system, but I actually get really congested, fill w/junk, and my eyes burn. It makes it even harder for me to sleep, and I'm just so tired. Just lovely, as you can imagine. It's better today, but still am answering 50,000 questions on wth happened. Supposed to fly to DC tomorrow, but have heard flights could be delayed/cancelled. This great never-ending winter. Still no workouts, but I sure hope to get back into my routine next week.
Going to pack, straighten up house, and head off to bed.
Cookie
 
Cookie - I hope you feel better soon. Have you seen a doc? I have an appointment Friday, I am also getting all my results back. I am doing the 21 Day Fix (original one) and SBF. I also try to walk every day. If I can't walk the dogs I will walk with JS or Leslie. I am trying to get at least 12K in every day. Hope your flight doesn't get cancelled. My husband said, we are getting more snow tonight :( Never-ending winter:D
 
STS M1 D2 Completed! woo hoo! So glad I have decided to do this program again. The disc got stuck at first and I started to panic. It was dirty. I cleaned it and had no problems, thank goodness. I have also had three days of good eating so I am feeling good all around. I am holding off for my cheat meal on Friday when we get pizza for dinner. I hope I can hold off until then, lol.

So. .. we are getting more snow, but how much seems to be a mystery. I hope it's enough for a snow day. LOL. My dad finally called me to tell me he has been in the pool every day. How nice, lol!

Belinda- after tomorrow it is supposed to warm up. This weekend we are going to hit 45 degrees. That'll feel like summer to me, lol. I am assuming it will be warmer by you. I am hoping to take Baxter for a walk without fearing that I will get hit by a car because the roads are so narrow from the pushed over snow and huge snow banks, lol.

Cookie- sorry to hear you are still not feeling 100%. Your DH is so lucky to be in California. So a friend of mine who teaches special education 15:1 ALP was told today that because Cuomo reneged on his deal about not counting test scores for teachers that were rated ineffective based on the test, she is now ineffective for a second year. She was in tears. Apparently someone from BOCES or Pearson or some freakin' outsider is coming in to observe her. RIDICULOUS! You would have to be crazy to become a teacher in NY, especially a special education teacher. She is a great teacher, by the way. Her kids are not going to show growth on tests that are above and beyond them. They get frustrated and they give up. I hate this whole system. Meanwhile there is a science teacher in my building who gets rated effective and he shows movies all the time. . . not even related to his content. He doesn't use the school website. He comes to school hungover. . . but he doesn't have a state test to evaluate him. This whole APPR thing is wrong and sucks!

Okay, off to pray for a snow day.

Kristin
 
Good morning,

I will do 21 Day Fix Pilates and SBF UB today.

Kirstin - congrats on finishing M2 :) Enjoy your recovery week. We are covered in snow. Where is spring? It's hard to believe this weekend the weather is in the 45':eek: I can't wait to walk outside with my dogs. Good for your dad being in the pool every day:D

Waving Hi to everyone that checks in today. BBL!
 
Hi everyone. Well I got my snow day. They have raised the snow accumulations from 3-6 to 6-10 inches :eek::eek::eek:o_O. We will probably have a 2 hour delay tomorrow for sure. My dad called me this morning to rub it in, I mean to see what was going on, lol.

Anyway. .. took advantage of the day by getting my workout in early. I did PRS #2, plus the stability ball abs from Butts and Guts. My left calf is bothering me on and off. It tightened up a lot during the workout. I was able to complete the workout, but it is still lingering. I am going to stretch it out as much as I can. I also made my boys waffles and bacon. I am going to catch up on my lesson planning and take it easy the rest of the day.

Belinda- I just started meso 1. I was excited to complete disc 2, lol. Tomorrow is my rest day. Saturday I plan on doing disc 3. My recovery week will be at the end of this month. I'm a little nervous about disc three because I haven't squatted with 30# or did deadlifts with 30# DB in a long time. My 1RM calls for 32# for week one. I am going to give it my best. The 1RM seem to be more accurate this time around.

Waving hello to everyone who follows.

Kristin
 
Kirstin - OH:D good job anyway! That's a lot of weight for M1? Remember M1 is Endurance type workouts. I always go lighter in M1. M2 and M3 I up the weight, since the pace is slower. See how you feel next week.
 
Good morning,

After my coffee I will will do 21 Day Fix Cardio Fix and SBF LB Barre.

Cookie - are you in DC yet?

Debbie - hope you having fun in Florida.

I will be back later.
