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

Good Morning:)

We are up early, woke up at 7:15 and I am enjoying my coffee. Looks windy out again this morning:confused: Not sure I want to push a stroller in that again.....I know....Im being a baby! Maybe I need someone to put me in a stroller:D I would also like to do some weights. I enjoy getting up this early b/c I will have tons of stuff down the morning will just be started.

I am trying to figure out when to go to my parents house. I am leaning towards today but I'm not going to be in a rush to get there. I have most of my things packed but I want to workout and I need to get a few things before I go. If I leave it for tomorrow then I will want to work out first and so on....so it will be after lunch before I even leave here.

Deb** I'm looking on the lulu site now...trying to find something to buy;) Nothing there and what I like isn't in the color I want. If I buy anymore I will have to start a new drawer:eek:. That is weird about that lady. When I watch the news I am almost afraid to let DS out in the backyard...and that kind of stuff doesn't happen around here. DD is in grade 10 now, she just turned 16 in March. I started running pretty early, my doc wouldn't of been impressed but I read different thoughts on the matter so I went with what I wanted to hear;)

Nothing else to report....I will stop back in later to report my workout!

Lori:)
 
Hi,

I took a yoga class this morning & the TM for 30 min. I had the day off, it went by too fast. I bought some more flowers & hope to plant them this weekend. But where is the sun???

Belinda - I guess your getting rain too, ugh on the damage:( Do you have plans for the weekend?

Lori - I'm sure pushing the stroller against the wind a PIA but you probably burn more calories. Have fun at your Mom's:)

Hi Kristin & Cookie

Goodnight:)
 
Hey everyone. Sorry I have been MIA; it was a crazy few days. My last workout was Wednesday night, I did LIC (the original). Thursday was the retirement party. . . and it was a lot of fun, until dummy me decided to do shots with everyone. These people are experienced drinkers, me not so much. My assistant principal bought a round of tequila shots and gave me one. I figured one shot is fine. Well, it made me feel like it was no big deal, if that makes any sense. I didn't feel any effect from it so I did another shot when someone else bought a round, and then a third. I cannot tell you what happened from being at the bar to fast forward I am on the ferry dock waiting for the ferry (the party was on Fire Island) with two of my friends, throwing up as they are helping me. The ferry security was not going to let me on the ferry, but my friends convinced them to let me on, thank God. I slept on the ferry, woke up with someone's coat on and had to get help getting off the ferry from my friends. I fell asleep in my friend's car again and then all I remember was walking up the steps to my house and knocking on the door. DH was not happy, but he helped me into bed. Yesterday, I was sooooo sick. Thank God we were off. I have never ever done anything like this in my life. I am mortified. According to my friends, I did not do anything outrageous or crazy, I just couldn't keep myself up and I got sick. I think the worst part is the fact that I am known for being someone who always has it together, and obviously I lost it that night and everyone saw. I am mortified. Yesterday I was so sick. I only ate a bagel and drank gatorade and slept.

Anyway, I feel much better today, so I plan on getting a workout in. I will bbl with personals.

Kristin
 
Good morning,

Sorry for not chekcing back in yesterday. Aleisa and I did Bob's "Butt & Balance wo". After that Aleisa and I went shopping, went for lunch and had a Medicure. Thad lots of fun yesterday.

Today we will yoga for the Worrior.

Kirstin - (((HUGS)) sorry you went through all this last night. Glad you feel much better today. I can't handle drinking a lot. I do drink a glass of wine on the weekend.

Debbie - DH wants to go to the Arlington Cemetary on Monday. Good job on that yoga class/TM run this morning.

Lori - hope you had fun with your run yesterday.

Cookie - how are you doing?
　
I will be back later.

Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!
　
 
Hi Girls,

We had a good sleep last night. The baby didn't wake until 4:30.... He gave me over 5 hours of straight sleep :). I was thinking about trying him with cereal even though I'm not suppose to until he is 6 months but he is a big boy. I still may buy some even though he slept well last night.

I went for a run this morning. 10.5 k. It's windy here too and hills to boot. But I keep getting this stitch in my right side and it makes the running less enjoyable:mad: I need to google it and see how I can get rid of it. I know it has something to do with breathing and I don't really pay attention to my breathing....I've never had the need.

Kristin** oh your story made me smile! I don't thin you should be mortified. If anything everyone is probably happy that you let your hair down and had such a great time. And if you didn't do anything dumb, then who cares! I mean if you were giving lap dances or kissing your boss...then that's different:p. Remember it could always be worse. I'm not looking forward to my first night out cause I know I am going to be sick!

Belinda**. I guess that will teach you not to leave your windows open;). I still haven't done all of the low impact series yet. Maybe I should do them before I buy more. But I like anything I can use for a circuit with the tm.

Have a good Saturday everyone.

Lori:)
 
Hi,

I did M2 D17 legs today. The sun finally came out:) Not sure if we're going out to dinner tonight or tomorrow night but should decide soon:eek: My inlaws have their pool open so on Monday we will be going there for a BBQ.

Belinda - Mt. Arlington is the perfect place to go on Memorial Day.

Kristin - Ugh, I can't do shots either anytime I have I spend a lot of time in the bathroom. They go down too easy, DH did them in Mexico & he payed the price the next day. No one will remember anything, I'm sure they were too busy having their own fun. LOL at what Lori said.

Lori - Did you ever go to your parents? I didn't realize breathing could cause a stitch but it makes sense. I don't pay attention to it either.

Cookie - How are you feeling?

Have a great weekend:)
 
Hey all. Today I felt much better. I went to Target and got the boys a little inflatable pool with a water slide because it was so humid and sticky out. We have a pool, but it isn't opened yet and they wanted to have some water fun. It was great. Then we had an early family dinner and the boys took a cat nap. I was able to do my workout, the original bootcamp. I was able to do everything this time around, except I missed two or three reps of the terminators. It is fun to see how far you've come by returning to workout you have not done in a while. Anyway, tomorrow we are going to my parents' house for a bbq. My favorite uncle will be there, so I am excited about that.

Belinda- feeling much better today and I think I learned my lesson, lol. I think I was just excited to be out with everyone from work and I knew I had a designated driver, so it made me a little too free, lol. I won't be able to even have a glass a wine for some time I think, lol. BTW- butt and balance sounds quite interesting.

Lori- you cracked me up. A few of my friends texted and messaged me on facebook saying I was a blast, lol. I guess they like seeing me uninhibited, lol.Like you said, I didn't give out lap dances or try to do anything that was crazy, so it was all in good fun. It felt good to let loose while I was feeling good. Tequila is sneaky though, huh? The LIS is fantastic btw. Which ones have you done/not done yet?

Deb- you have some nice plans for Memorial Day. Is it humid by you too? My hair is one giant frizzball. My dad opened his pool today, but the water was green, so no swimming tomorrow :( I think shots are evil!

Cookie-hope you are enjoying the weekend!

Okay, have a good night.


bb tomorrow

Kristin
 
'Evening!
Did check in on Thursday, but I guess it didn't post. Not sure what's up with that, maybe it was the weather affecting my wonderful internet satellite.
Belinda, Bob arrived! Only I got some duplicates of dvds and not all the ones I ordered. What one is the butt one on? I did do some of his yoga for the warrior this morning and liked it. Arlington on Monday is perfect. So appropriate. Did Alexia start the vineyard yet?
Lori, not surprised you're back to running a lot. 10.5 is quite a distance. I often got a stitch in my side from breathing. If I continued running, it eventually went away. Sometimes I would stop and raise my arms up over my head to get in more air. Now I never get them - I gave up running. How did you dh decided to join RCMP?
Kristen, well guess that answers how the retirement party was. You have good friends who took care of you. And like Lori says - you weren't doing anything inappropriate, so don't worry. Plus you're already back to doing bootcamp!
Deb, what did you decide on dinner? It's been warm and humid here. How did things work out for your niece? I have some duplicates of Bob's workouts, if you want I can send them to you.
Today was dd's last sectional track meet. Watching all them inspired me to come home and walk the dogs. We only made it 3 miles, and one of the dogs was really dragging. Had to carry the 24-lb baby the last 3/4 mile home. That was a workout. Also did some yoga. My piriformis/sciatica is doing better, but my knee is still painful, so am doing things slowly. It is making me reconsider if I can keep doing high-impact any more, I mean once I'm back to normal. Or whatever normal is!
Our exchange student from last year is coming in tomorrow for a three-week visit. Have to go to NY to pick her up, so will visit youngest son for lunch before going to airport.
Cookie
 
Good evening,

I did yoga for the worrior before dinner. I love that one! I am still not sure, if I want to continue with Bob or do a JM rotaiton? I guess, I will figure it out by Monday:p

Cookie - glad you feeling better. If you have some extra Bob DVDs, Aleisa is getting ready to order some. Let me know if you Debbie don't want/need them;) The butt & balance is on Body Rev/Cardio Conditioning, it's only a 23 min workout, but it will kick your butt:p glad you liked his yoga workout, did you do the entire 60 min? I did that one today! How nice, have fun tomorrow with your son/exchange student.

Kirstin - glad your friends on FB had a blast! Sometimes you have to get loose a little to have some fun. It's very humid here in WV too. We turned the AC on today:confused:

Debbie - good job with D17 today. Have fun Monday. I wouldn't mind going to a pool in this heat:)

Lori - I learned my lesson on keeping the windows shut:confused: glad you got some sleep. How was your run?

I will be back in the moring. Good night girls!~
 
'Evening!
Belinda, today I did Bob's yoga for the warrior and liked it. I'm going to try to do yoga a few times a week for a bit. It really seems to be helping my piriformis and sciatica. Had a deep tissue massage on Friday which was fabulous! Highly recommend it.
Kristen, did you spend time in the kiddie or adult pool today?
Lori, what temperature is it up your way?
Deb, how was the bbq at your inlaws? Waved to you as we went past today.
Had a great time visiting youngest son today and had lunch with him. Picked up Irish dd and had Chinese food for dinner. A lovely day. Am thinking of doing yoga and walking this week to ease back into things.
Cookie
 
Hi,

I did the TM today for 30 min. We did go to dinner last night but called 4 restaurants before we found one that wasn't closing early . . . guess everyone's at the beach. Just finished watching "We bought a Zoo" it was a cute movie.

Belinda - It seems like your going to have a hard time giving up Bob;) Have fun tomorrow.

Krsitin - It is humid here too! The weather is crazy wondering how hot it will be in August. I'm guessing it's rough at school when it's so hot.

Cookie - Thanks for the offer but you can give them to Alesia if she wants them. Wow, you must have done a lot of driving today. Sounds like you had fun.

Lori - How long are you staying at your Mom's? If I remember right you do get your running in too.

Goodnight:)
 
Morning girls,

Yesterday I did Bob's Workout #2.. I been working out 7 day's streight, so today I will take a rest day. Still haven't decited what I will do tomorrow? I also interrested in the Butt Bible! I may add them in somehow?

Debbie - Alesia saw that move awhile back, she like it. I saw a move with Reeses Whiterspoon, it was so funny. I laught the entire time. It was on TV. Arrr...about the restaurant.

Cookie - I need to add more yoga a few times a week. Aleisa is trying for me to go to the gym, she like her yoga instructor alot. Glad you had a lovely day with your kids.

Kirstin - it's humid here too. I bought mister at Home Depot yesterday. I like sitting outside, but the heat is killing me. Hope the mister helps?

Lori - how was your run? Did you get more sleep?

Have a great day and workout, everyone. BBL!
 
Good Morning:)

The baby woke at 6:30:confused: and stayed up for a while. I was to sleepy to stay up so when DH woke, I went back to bed. Ive been up for a hour or so and my plan was to run outside after the baby woke and I fed him but we are running out of time:eek: Now I am leaning towards a circuit workout in the basement after lunch. I didn't do anything yesterday, there just wasnt enough time. A rest day was in order anyway.

The christening went well yesterday. It was awesome to see most of my aunts and uncles.

Kristen** Glad you decided to ease up on yourself:) Its every partiers dream is to get the prudish one to lighten up:D I havent done any of the yoga dvds yet in LIC and Im not a fan of lower body trisets. I have done AB the most. I really enjoy doing that one mixed in with some runs on the TM.

Cookie** Its not that warm here...probably 26 has been our highest and I think you need to times that by 3. something...so its probably 75 in your neck of the woods...which isn't to shabby this time of year. July is usually our nicest months. Last summer was crap. DH as always wanted to be a RCMP officer. He wrote the exam about 10 years ago and didn't get anywhere with it. He wanted to write it again last year and was on the fence about it but I told him to go ahead and do it. I guess its a good thing he listens to me:) and that I always know what Im talking about:D It will be a tough 6 months but worth it in the end.

Belinda** Enjoy your rest day!!!!

Deb** Sounds like you had a nice evening. Running at my moms is about all I get to do. There are no hand weights there and that's why I am feeling the desire to lift some weights today as well. I'm thinking about pulling out the GS series again and going heavy....I have time to do that before lunch and when the baby takes his afternoon nap I could do something else.

I will bbl to report my workout!

Lori:)
 
'Evening!
Hope everyone had a great day today.
Belinda, did you make it to Arlington today? I heard them playing taps there on the radio and thought of you and your family. I thought your dd was living with you. After seven days, you need a rest day.
Lori, it was 88-94 degrees the past few days. Humid in the mornings but clearing up in the afternoons. I'm loving it. Enjoy your mom. I have a friend who is always right - we refer to our GPS with her name, since it is also always right. Glad your dh listened.
Kristen, are you in a pool cooling off? Or with baseball
Deb, hope you're having a good time with your family. And thanks, I did have a good time with mine yesterday. Today was pretty good also.
Did upper body portion of turbo barre this morning - that was tough.
Cookie
 
Hi,

I did the TM for 30 min. today. I didn't do too much damage at my inlaws BBQ, DH & SIL new boyfriend helped with the BBQ so that was nice. It was too hot & humid to even have an appetite today!!

Belinda - the mister sounds :cool: let me know how it is. Enjoy your rest day.

Lori - TG you were able to go back to sleep. I like your idea of doing AB & TM:) I always like to throw in the GS series, still one of my favorites it's actually perfect for you because you can break it up during the day.

Cookie - It's great that you doing w/o's that work for you right now. Is DD's graduation coming up?

Kristin - I hope you had a nice time at your parents today.

Goodnight:)
 
Good morning ladies. Yesterday I was able to get a workout in, 4DS LIS, but I didn't have time to check in because I had to jump in the shower and go. We spent the day in the city with Jessica and her family. We went to Chelsea Piers for the day and then walked from there to South Street Seaport. My cleaning was not clean, a trip to Johnny Rockets!:eek: However between the workout and all the walking, I am not going to beat myself up about it. Anyway, it was a good day. Unfortunately I am back to work today and I am soooo tired, lol.

Cookie- how exciting that your exchange student is visiting! That's wonderful. My parents' pool was freezing cold, so I did not go in it, but my husband and two boys did. Their lips were blue, lol.

Deb- I am on the second floor in my building, so I am dreading what it is going to be like with the humidity today, especially because the windows were closed for the last four days :mad::(. We caved and put our air conditioner in on Saturday. Just couldn't bear it anymore.

Lori- AB and CSS are my favorites. It took me a few tries, more than 3 or 4 to get LICh down. Turbo Barre is the one I reach for the least, but every time I do it I think I get a good workout from it. Glad you had a good time at the christening. I am wondering if anyone will have a comment for me at work today about the retirement party. . . oh boy.

Belinda- we caved and put the AC in on Saturday. It was so unbearable Friday night trying to sleep. The boys kept waking up too. I'm wondering if I should just leave my hair up today, lol.

Okay, I will bbl. DS has baseball today, so I am hoping to get my workout in before the game.

Happy Tuesday!
Kristin
 
Good Morning

DS has a speech appt this morning. I was up early enough to get a workout in before we leave but I ended up tidying up, ,making beds and folding laundry. I still have 90 mins before his appt but not enough time to workout and shower...plus get everyone out the door. I don't have anything to do this afternoon anyway so it's just as well I workout.

Yesterday's workout was a mixer upper! I did 35 mins on the TM, 20 mins tabata bike workout, MMA punching combos, GS Shoulders and Bics (heavy) and HR abs. I'm not sure what I will do today. Maybe a run and GS legs....or the other GS UB workouts. I have some nice DOMS from the UB work yesterday.

Deb** Sounds like you had a nice time at the BBQ. Drinks can throw me over the edge in the calorie dept and b/c I am nursing that isn't a problem right now. I still love my desserts though:D

Kristin** I bet your coworkers are gonna want you to go out with them again this weekend ;) DH won't be impressed with that...LOL

I will bbl to report my workout!

Lori:)
 
Morning girls,

Still haven't decited what I will do today:eek: I just had bfast, will have to figure it out soon....Had to take DH to his PT before 8 am than, take him to work:) He got released from home PT and he can go back to work. Maybe I will get something done around the house. Didn't get anything done while he was home.

I will be back to report my workout and catch up on personals.
 
Good evening,


I ended up doing High Step Challenge.


I will be back in the morning and catch up on personals. Good night, girls!
 
Hi,

I didn't get a w/o in today. We received a last minute project that's due this week. We need to take down Kenneth Cole wallets displays in BJ's wholesale club because in September we are getting a higher priced/better quality wallet shipping. The only good thing is I'll get a 3 month break from those stores:)

Belinda - Wow, haven't done HSC in a long time but remember thinking it was fun.

Kristin - I hope you survived the heat today. I put my hair up & was wishing I had a lighter shirt on all day:) Your day in the city w/Jessica & families sounded like fun.

Lori - Wow, your w/o on Monday sounded tough . . . you must be down to bones by now. I always remember some people saying that nursing helped them take the weight off after having the baby. Does it make you tired?

Cookie - Hope your enjoying time with DD & the exchange student.

Goodnight:)
