Commit to get fit & lean for May 14 - 20, 2012

Good evening,

Yoga and the extra 15 min abs is done! I lost 4 pounds in 2 weeks, not bad:) One more week to go, than I will do a JM rotation.

Cookie- at least you had fun, right? Need to google what Swipe Four is? Never heard of it. What did you do today?
　
Kirstin - I think you should go for it! If it's something you always wanted to do, don't wait! Wow, on your weight loss. That's awesome. I am losing too. Have you been reading my food journal?? It's not always that great either. Don't worry about tonight, you are doing fantastic. Have fun.
　
Debbie - you welcome!Sorry about your car. Hope it doesn't cost that much.

Alesia just come home from Geniva! She got me some chocolate:p and yes, I had 2 pieces:eek:


Good night, girls!

 
Hi,

I took a spin class & did about 70 walking lunges. The repairshop said it may just be a pressure valve & not the actual transmission keeping my fingers crossed. Today, I went and bought a couple of lilac plants since the deer don't like them (sometimes that doesn't matter).

Belinda - I don't think I would pass up chocolate from Geniva;) it must be delicious. Kudos on the weight loss.

Kristin - I'm sure the cardio will help offset the pizza:) Does your school help $$ if you continue your education? I'm guessing with all the cutbacks that isn't even an option.

Cookie - I was thinking about you & DD today the prom must be anytime now.

Goodnight:)
 
Good morning,

My plan for today is: Bob's workout #1, 30 min. That reps up week 3 of Bob's rotation, one more week to go.

Debbie - keeping my fingers cossed too:D Good job, on that spin class last night. Are you gonna keep the lilac plants? Do you like them? Than keep them;)

Hi Cookie and Kirstin! What are you up too this weekend?

I will be back later to report my workout.

Have a fantastic weekend, everyone!
 
Good morning,

Workout is done! that is one tough 30 min full body workout! I saw on amazon.com that Bob Harper is selling his workouts (KB Sculpted Body, Cardio Shred, Totally Ripped Core, Total Body Transformation, Ultimate Cardio Body) for only $6, just in case you didn't find/or got them on his site;)

Have a busy day scheduled. First Aleisa and I will go shopping, lets see how much I get done in the yard:p


Off to get something done. I will check in later. Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!
 
Hello everyone. SJP all done :D. I was sweating buckets in that one. I notice that when I get to the weight work in between the hi-lo segments, I am dripping. The bar gets slippery on my shoulders, lol. It is such a great workout.

This weekend I am helping DH with his science project. He had to do an oral report on eels. I had him read two books from the library and I told him to write down the interesting things he found out about eels. He did that part on his own, and he did pick out some interesting facts. How we have to work on picking out what he thinks is the most important along with some of the required facts. He was upset at first that he didn't get the shark (typical boy), but now he is happy with the eel, particulary the moray eel, lol. Boys!

Deb- my district does not contribute to the tuition, but they may accept some of the classes' credits towards a salary raise, depending on the content of the classes. For every 15 approved credits, your salary goes up a bit. Every bit helps :)

Belinda- you really seem to be enjoying Bob's workouts. I made my food journal open to friends on MFP :).

Cookie- any plans this weekend?

Tomorrow we are going to a LI Ducks baseball game. They are the minor league team on LI. It is great because it is a nice stadium and the tickets are dirt cheap. They have a guy dressed as a duck, named Quacker. He walks around the stadium during the game and takes pictures with the kids. Very affordable family fun. Jessica and her family are joining us.

BBL,

Kristin
 
'Evening! Doing better but not able to do workouts for at least another two weeks! My son brought some dumbbells from the workout room so that I can do ub stuff. Figure I'll do a low-weight high-rep upper body workouts for a while. Nothing with my back, tho.
Belinda, glad Alexia made it home alright- and with chocolate!!! That's an excellent daughter! Bob hasn't arrived yet at the house and I'm glad. I'm feeling quite disappointed in myself and not being able to do much. Getting up and down from a seated position is the worse, but still can't walk normally.
Kristen, think it is great that you might pursue the mfa, or even a course. My family jokes that I'm a professional student; I love taking classes and learning new things. What a great role model it will be for your boys and your students. Enjoy the baseball game.
Deb, lilacs are my favorite. What variety did you pick? Did you ever walk thru Lilac Walk in Central Park, near 72nd Street. It is usually in bloom right about now, I always associate it with Mother's Day - anyway just gorgeous. Hope it isn't the transmission. DD had her prom last evening and she looked beautiful. She went to an after party and then a sleep over. Tonight is another school event, so she hasn't even come home yet, should be back around 11:30. Tomorrow she works, so I hope she doesn't have much homework. How did it work out for your niece?
Cookie
 
Hi,

Yesterday I did M2D14 Legs, took today as a rest day. Why do the weekends fly by? We went to dinner last night hopefully it won't show on the scale tomorrow:)

Belinda - I'll have to check out Bob on Amazon I have a g.c. too! Hope you had fun shopping with Alesia. I've been bad with shopping but I need to return some things that didn't fit well so that should help;)

Kristin - A pay increase sounds good. The minor league stadiums are really fun & you don't know if you looking at the next Derek Jeter.

Cookie - How exciting it was DD's prom, love looking at all the girls in their dresses they are so much nicer then when I had prom. We all wore white. Take your time healing before you know it you'll be working out again.

Goodnight:)
 
Hey everyone. I got a late workout in tonight. I did ME. No workout yesterday :( Did not have time with the Ducks game and then dinner.

I am soooo tired now. Sorry, I will be back for personals tomorrow.

Kristin
 
'Morning!
Getting ready to leave for work, but wanted to check in first. Couldn't get internet connection again last night.
Belinda, you certainly seem to be enjoying Bob. He arrived yesterday but I didn't even open the package since I can't do anything for a bit. Think if I even look at them, I'll be more aggravated that I can't work out.
Kristen, sounds like the Ducks game was fun. I agree with feeling the workout sweatwise more if it is a circuit one.
Deb, did you plant the lilacs? The best deterent we have for the deer is our dogs, but then they are only partially effective since they mostly stay by the house. The deer think we plant for their benefit.
Well, am finally able to cross my legs at the ankles! Pitiful - huh? At this rate, I'm hoping to get to yoga in two weeks. Doing some stretching and s-l-o-w walking. If there's a fire drill, I'll be run over! Okay, off to earn some money.
Cookie
 
Good evening,

Got my workout in before dinner, just getting around to post it:( I did Bob's Bure Burn.

Cookie - take it easy and get lots of rest.

Kirstin and Debbie - what are you doing today?

I will catch up on personals in the morning. Busy day today, I am beat.

Good night, girls!
 
Hey all. So because I did not work out on Sunday, I had to tweak my rotation. Instead of doing MMA Fusion, I did KPC. I think this is my favorite Cathe kickboxing workout. Although it is over an hour, it goes by so fast and it is so much fun. I am taking another rest day on Thursday because I have a retirement party to go to that night.

Cookie- better to rest up than to aggravate the area more. Hang in there!

Deb- the weekends do fly by, don't they? I am looking forward to this weekend. I got an email from Southwest reminding me that my trip to Florida is coming up. It put a big, huge :D on my face!

Belinda- good job getting in the workout. That's great that you are getting good results. Sometimes doing something completely different is all you need to kickstart your engine again :)

Okay, off to bed I go!

Kristin
 
Hi,

I forgot to check in yesterday but I did do the TM. Today I was going to take a class at the gym but they changed it to a different class so I went on the elliptical & did M2D15 Back & bi's. I'm trying to get all my work done so I can take a 4 day weekend:)

Belinda - Thank's for the recommendation saw some Bob's on Amazon, I'm going to order a couple of the weight ones. I've been real tired too.

Kristin - KPC is my favorite kickboxing too! Too funny that Southwest reminds you of your trip. There are very few Southwest flights at our airport, United is the dominate airline & it was in the news that they take advantage of that & charge higher prices:mad:

Cookie - I didn't plant the lilacs yet because of the rain & at this point may get all my flowers & plant this weekend. Ugh, on your injury TG it didn't happen to close to the RT.

Goodnight:)
 
Good morning,

Kirstin - have fun at your retirement party tonight. Good job, on KPC. Did you order the new Cathe's workouts? I will not order the new workouts, I am not interrested in them:)

Debbie - you are welcome! BTW, all Bob's workouts are more like circuits. Good job on your workout yesterday.

Cookie - thinking about your. Hang in there!

I will do Body Rev/Cardio Conditioning today.

I will be back later. Happy Hump Day!
 
Good afternoon girls,

Body Rev/Cardio Conditioning is done! Burned 603 cal. Sweat was dripping down my face, that is one tough workout:eek:

Cookie - feel better.

Debbie and Kirstin - have a great workout today.

I will be back later. Have a wonderful day.
 
Hi,

Today I took a yoga class & she really worked our legs which I need;) Crossing my fingers to get everything done tomorrow (except for computer work) so I can have a long weekend. The other company I work for is men's socks & they have a lot of work for me next month at Kohl's for Father's Day. An older man kept calling me sock girl today after he saw me setting up a display . . . been called worse:p

Belinda - After checking out Bob's DVD's at Amazon, I realized it is cheaper on his sight so will order from there this weekend. Great calorie burn today and doesn't even count the everydayk stuff you do:)

Kristin - I hope you had fun at your retirement party and enjoyed your rest day.

Cookie - At least now you can catch up on things while you rest up.

Goodnight:)
 
Hi Girls and Good Morning:)

I am going to try to start checking in again....although it can be challenging at times.

The baby is almost 4 months old:eek: and sleeping through the night is a major issue....(wish there was a yawn face here). I still manage to get tons of stuff done in the run of the day though. Its strange. When I had DS1 I would sleep half of the morning away and with this one I don't really have a choice so I get up and get to it. He is a good baby though so I really can't complain much. The other two kids are doing good. DD is learning how to drive:confused: and DS is the same 'ole. Hyper....on the go boy. His speech as come along way so we are hoping he will be already for kindergarten this Fall.

DH is closing his business and going away to become a RCMP officer. He leaves on June 11th and will be away for 6 months. I have lots of help but its not the same. I know I am going to be lonely but I guess I will get use to it after a while. Chances are once the 6 months is up we will be moving...could be anywhere in Canada but we are hoping to stay close by cause DD isn't going to go with us. I wouldn't want to leave my friends one year from graduation either. He finishes Dec 3rd so it could be a weird Christmas! Anyway, I am more concerned about getting through the next 6 months. The next couple of weeks will also be fairly busy but I will check in when I can. DS2 has needles this week, his christening is this weekend, DS1 has his preschool graduation, DD has her dance shows, DH has to be sworn in,going away party on the 1st, we have appts for DS1 assessments....ugh! Its going to be a busy week before he leaves!

I will check back in later. Its a nice sunny day here so we are gonna head out for a run later!:)

Lori:)
 
Good morning,

I will do Bure Burn today. Aleisa wanted to do a 30 min wo DVD after work. She ask me to find her a good one:p, LOL. I pulled out Bob's Workout #1:eek:. She said that one was tough, she was sweating like crazy. Love it! She like Bob.
　
Debbie - you do pay like $6 shipping on Bob's workouts. Don't wait to long, not sure how long he has the sale going. Nice job on that yoga last night.

Kirstin - how was your retirement party? Hope you had fun.

Cookie - are your bored yet? Get lots of rest. Hope you feel better soon.

Welcome back, Lori! We miss you, girl. Don't worry about beeing alone for 6 month, you gonna be fine. Stay busy! You always can skype with your DH. Who is your DD staying with? I'll bet you gonna miss her. That's tough leaving here behind. I think everything will work out. How is the baby doing? Did you order Cathe's new workouts?


　
I will be back later. Have a wonderful day and workout.
 
Hi Girls

I went for a run this morning. Out for about an hour. It wasn't my best run. Everything was off. The baby was crying, I had a stitch, the wind was strong.......I could go on and on. I was happy when it was over.

Belinda**. I haven't ordered the new workouts yet but I probably should. The baby is good. He is a good baby. He spits up a lot which is very annoying. I can't keep my floors or cloths clean. We went on a road trip a couple of months ago and I took extra cloths for the baby but didn't take anything for myself. I don't know how many times I was spit up on! If we move DD will stay here with her grandparents or my sil. My sil's husband is gone during the weekdays so I think she would like for her to stay there. And who knows maybe we won't have to move far for the first couple of years but it will only be a matter of time.

I will bb tomorrow!
Lori:)
 
Hi,

Today I did M2 D16 chest, shoulder's & tri's.

I have a weird story a Mom & her six year old son were near me today when I was setting up a display the little boy was running around, I notice it became quiet but the Mom was still shopping. A few minutes later the Mom comes up to me & asks if I've seen her son, I say no he's not here but she remains calm & casually looks around. Now I'm starting to panic, a sales associate comes to help, we're looking all around & the Mom calmly says to us that she thinks she'll check on the 2nd floor (we were on the 1st fl) because he may have gone to the bathroom:confused: She finds him in the bathroom & is still so calm like nothing happened. The sales associate & I were in shock, guessing she doesn't read the newspapers.

Lori - It nice to see you back, we missed you & don't worry check in when you can. Your plate is overflowing but it's great that DS is a good baby. Just don't be wearing you lulu lemon clothes when you are with him;) It's great to see your still running! Gives me motivation to throw it in somedays. What grade is DD in?

Belinda - I'm hoping it's only $6 for the whole order. Do you watch the Biggest Loser? Awhile ago Bob cooked a really good vegetarian meal on Rachael Ray.

Kristin - Will DS have to make up baseball games because of the rain?

Cookie - How are you? Do you have a long weekend?

Goodnight:)
 
Good morning ladies,

Couldn't check in last night, we had bad weather. The wind was so bad/strong that it took the top (ambrealla piece) of the swing set:confused: it's laying in the yard. Had all my windows open, all my carpets got wet:confused:

I did do BH " Bure Burn". Today I will do Cardio Rev" LB"

Lori - glad your little one is a good baby! He will grow out of that spitting up everywhere:eek: I think I will pass on Cathe's new workouts. I have so many DVD's already. How many do I really need?

Debbie - unbelieveable about that mom:eek: I would have freaked out:confused: I need to google at recipe Bob made on Rachel. He is a vegan.

Kirstin and Cookie - how are you doing?

What are your plants this weekend?

I will be back later. Have a great Friday, gils!
