Commit to get FIT & Lean for May 2014!

Hi,

I didn't have a chance to workout, DH & I had to take care of something & we were home late.

Belinda - I'm sure you'll get more lemons it's warmer where you live plus I'm sure you have a greener thumb than me;) Blueberries sound yummy!

Amelia - I think you made the right choice, you don't need the stress.

Cookie - You would think the insurance co. would do it (we are now with a new company) but I put all the information together and sent in to Carfax so hopefully it works out. I wonder if our weather is too cool to make fruit for the trees. I remember my neighbor said something about the bees needing to pollinate them. I'll have to ask her more about that.

Waves hi to everyone

Goodnight:)
 
Good morning,

After my coffee I will do P90X3 yoga.

Cookie - LOL, I do:D We had to buy good patio furniture with all that moving we did in the military. We ate outside a lot or have a glass of wine:p The weather is nice the last few day's, DH and I lay on our lounger. It's so compfy:p We do have lots of fruit trees…apples, plums and peaches. The stink bugs got a hold of them last year:confused: We went to a local nursery and bought an organic stray for the trees.

Debbie - I also love blueberries. I have to watch my dogs, they like to pick on them:confused: They also like my herbs, lemon tree leaves and hibiscus leaves:eek: They always picking on them:eek: BTW, you have to bring the lemon/lime tree inside for the winter. They will not survive the cold;) My brother in law in Germany has a lemon tree, they always have nice big lemons.

Amelia - I also think you made the right choice. Who needs all that stress?

Happy Hump Day, everyone. BBL!
 
Hi,

Quick hello, I did GS legs today. Tomorrow I'm dogsitting ds's puppy. I have to work on getting you guys a picture because she is growing so fast.

Belinda - I could just picture your dogs coming in with blue tongues:eek: I'm surprised they would like herbs, if I drop any leafy greens on the floor the dogs won't eat:confused:

Waves hi to everyone

Goodnight:)
 
Quick check in since it is late.
Went out to celebrate dh's b'day after a late mtg tonight and am just getting in. Took my mom and we met up w/eldest son for pizza. OMG it was so good. Haven't had pizza in a long, long time b/c dairy and I just aren't getting along. Had an artichoke/olive/mushroom pizza on a spicy red pepper crust. Took any cheese off and at a lot! Doing emails that never got to due to three straight days of meetings!
Hope all is well. Will catch up on personals tomorrow.

Hey girls,

I've been getting my workouts in this week. So far I've done 3 cardio's and one weight training. I plan on doing another weight training and cardio by Saturday to finish up my week :)

Cookie-That pizza sounds amazing!! Hope you got a good nights rest after a long day. We're going out tonight to see that new Godzilla movie, can't wait. We're also going to applebee's first...I love that sizzling bourbon street chicken entree they have there...and its healthy:D

ok, ive got to get the kids up and pack our lunches...and not to metion get dressed for work. Im off tomorrow so will catch up with everybody then. TGIF:)
 
Good morning,

Workout for today is: 4DS BC/Bi& Tric and P90X3 Incinerator.

Cookie - that pizza sounds yummy! I don't like pizza's with lots of cheese, less is more. My pizza has to have lots of vegetables:p Hope things cam down for you. Happy Birthday to your DH.

Debbie - my dogs eat anything:eek: For some reason, they like my plants? I have a hot pepper plant, I brought it in for the winter. I had to put chairs around it all winter long when we went shopping.

Amelia - how was the movie? My DH wants to see new Godzilla movie, I am like really? I don't like going to the movies. I rather watch movies at home.

I need to get moving. I will be back after my workout.
 
Hi ladies,

4DS BC/Triceps & Biceps is done. Love this one! So much fun. I still have to do P90X3 tonight, we ran out of time this morning.

I will be back later today or in the morning. Have a great day everyone.
 
Hey girls,

Im so glad im not working today. A day away from that place is so refreshing :p

Today Im going to do a Cathe step circuit, not sure what yet? I just want to get in a really good sweat. I also plan on doing some more cleaning...

I plan on going to pick up some grocerys later today and I have got to get something different to eat. Im so bored with the same old stuff everyday for my packed lunches. Lately its been either a salad or a sandwich...gah...

Belinda-I love going to the movies but I also like watching them at home. Earlier this year we got rid of our ridiculous cable bill and invested in a Roku, we have a netflix account and I love watching movies an there. Nice workout girly!!

Deb- nice job on GS legs the other day. I would love to see a pic of the pup.

Kristin-I would like to see a pic of the pool!! Hubby filled our above ground pool up last week and the kids are little froggies again. LOL. We went to a new department store yesterday and they had this HUGE screened in gazebo and were thinking about getting it for our back porch...for those summer nights. Sounds so nice. :)

Hello to Cookie, Vicki, Kelly, Melissa and Lori!

I will bbl to report my workout.
 
Hi girls,

I did P90X3 CVX and Suzanne Bowen 30 min Barre for the lower body this morning. I will go for a nice walk later this evening, since it got cooler outside:confused:

Amelia - have fun with your circuit workout today. I hear you on the cable bill. We bought a smart tv 2 weeks ago. We had like TV's in every bedroom with those cable boxes, we returned 2. My cable bill should go down a little. So what's the difference between a roku and cable? You still have to pay, right?

Have a wonderful day and workout, everyone. BBL!
 
Low Impact Step/cardio and weights premix done. Whew..that one was tough :confused: and its a beginner workout :eek: I was tired when I started it though :eek:

Belinda-Nice job on your workout. Your energy always amazes me. You never miss your workouts :) About the Roku - Roku is a small box that connects to your home Wi-Fi signal and streams over 300 channels to your television set. here is a link to the web site , we love ours. :)

well thats all for me folks. I folded about 4 loads of laundry and cleaned out my fridge..sigh, my job is never done here :p:rolleyes:
 
Hi,

Not sure where I left off:confused: but I have been doing the Gym Style series this week with yoga classes mixed in.

We babysat ds's puppy and now that it left took a long nap today. The past 2 nights it has been waking up 5AM:eek: too early for me since I go to bed late. She is so much fun and didn't want to leave when they came and picked her up. I'm about to watch the Preakness horse race on TV and grab a bite to eat.

Belinda - Your dogs must love gourmet meals, hot peppers;) Amelia is right you never miss a workout and are a motivator to us:)

Kristin - A beautiful day for baseball for the boys. Are you going to go to the local games this year?

Amelia - It's amazing your little froggies are swimming already:) Great workout & you had energy for housework!

Cookie - The pizza sounds yummy! I wish I could eat pizza everyday;) Happy Birthday to DH!!

Waves hi to everyone:)
 
'Evening!
Belinda, you definitely motivate us! Hot peppers? Wow, never would have thought of dogs being interested in them. That pizza was so good! Honestly, I think it was the best I've ever had, even tho I paid the price yesterday for it. Think my stomach is becoming gluten sensitive or something. Lately, it really reacts.
Amelia, sorry there still is so much drama with work. When do you start your new position there? A gazebo sounds nice. We have a lot of bugs here, so a lot of our neighbors have them. Your house must be sparkly - you are so good at taking care of it.
Deb, of course the dog didn't want to leave - they know when they're getting spoiled. Great race at the Preakness! Amazing how fast it was over. Do you think it will be a triple crown winner?
Kristin, are the boys busy with baseball?
Vicky, how are you doing? Busy with your kids home?
Kelly, how is everything?
Took the dogs on a 7 mile walk and did Firm vol 1 today.

So much has gone on in the last few days. I don't even know where to begin. Tuesday night at around dinnertime, I got a phone call from an unfamiliar number. I normally ignore calls from unknown numbers, but something told me to answer it. Long story short, it was my mother, calling me from a stranger's phone, asking me if I could pick her up. She got into a fight with my dad and left the house and was lost. Luckily, some stranger asked her if she was okay and offered her his phone. She was trying to walk to my house but got lost. Then when I picked her up, I brought her to my house. Then I went to my dad's to see what was going on and he broke down. My mom is getting worse and he cannot handle it. We had a heart to heart, my mom stayed with me for the night to give my dad a break and then went home Wednesday morning. My dad was complaining that his leg hurt him. Then Thursday my dad is saying he cannot walk it hurts too much. . .he goes to the ER and they admit him. I get my mom and bring her home. I go to walk the dog and leave my mom with my boys. She tries to leave and my house alarm goes off. My neighbor comes over, the police come. Ridiculous.

Friday I had to take off to stay home with my mom and then my dad called from the hospital saying that the doctors think he has a pulled muscle and he might have to go to a rehab center. Then they said he will have to stay in the hospital for the weekend. He's still there today and it looks like he is staying for the time being, which means we have to come up with a plan for my mom.

To make matters worse my bipolar sister is involved. I had to call her and tell her. I think she got jealous or insecure that my mom was staying with me so she insisted on taking mom yesterday to a fair "to give me a break" and then said she was going to sleepover my mom's house with my mom to give me a break. I said okay, whatever. Then this morning my mom called me to ask me to bring the boys over and then my BIL said to my mom "No we are leaving." SO my mom tells me they are bringing her to me and when I said what time, I heard my sister say "Why is she calling you?" MY mom said, "No I called her." Then I said to my mom I don't want a problem with them whenever they want to drop her off is fine with me. I know what I heard, my sister was nasty. Then my sister calls me 15 minutes later all "rosey" saying that she was sorry about before she was confused as to what was going on and they were in the middle of packing, yada yada yada. Then she said she was going to take my mom to the hospital to see my dad and then bring her here. Okay whatever. I kept it short and sweet so as to not be misunderstand, misinterpreted or just to give crazy ass any ammo. I need to stay strong for my parents.

Then she just called while I was doing my workout and said my BIL is taking mom to hospital and then dropping her off. Okay.

I don't want to sound paranoid but what I heard, the way she said "Why is she calling you" this morning was not cool. Now I have my guard up.

Anyway. .. believe it or not I have kept up with my workouts for the most part. Thursday I did Supercuts. Friday I did a run/walk with sprints with Baxter. Yesterday was HS (cardio only). Today was T25 (I'm starting it this week) Cardio. I have a lot of work to do today so I wanted to do weights later, but I doubt it happens.

It's been crazy, as you can see. I have been crying and eating candy and drinking. . . yes drinking at night, which is not good.

In the meantime. . . the pool is open and my patio is set up. I think I will grade papers out there today.

I will bb with personals, I swear!

Kristin
 
'Afternoon!
Kristin, I am so sorry you are dealing with all this. It's been building with your mom for a while, but nothing could have prepped you, and it is like a chain of dominos. Just when you thought your school year was winding down, and you would be able to relax and enjoy the pool and backyard. Keeping you in my thoughts.
Belinda, what were you up to this weekend?
Deb, hope you had some down time this weekend. Were you able to get the car info straightened out?
Amelia, you've been on a roll with your workouts. Hope work isn't too crazy.
Took the dogs on a walk today. Previously, I would have described today's walk as a long one, but after the last two months, it wasn't bad at all - 11 miles. Did some yoga also.
Cookie
 
Good evening,

Kirstin (((HUGS))) I am so sorry you and your dad are dealing with all this. I am so so sorry about your mom getting worst. I will keep your mom and dad in my thought and prayers. Please, try to relax! Enjoy your pool and family. You did the right thing with your sis, good for you!

Cookie - I also went for a walk, not 11 miles:p Holy moly, you walks are long:p I think, mine are your warm ups:eek::p Looks like you have lots more energy than I am:p WTG, girl!

Good night, everyone!
 
Hi,

I took a rest day today, because I needed to make a sauce this week.

Belinda - How has the weather been by you, it was cool here today but still nice.

Kristin - I'm so sorry you are going through so much with your Mom:( I wish I could make it better for you and your Dad. Kudos on getting in your workouts at times like this it is so helpful. It must be hard for your boys too but you are setting a good example for them by being their for your Mom.

Cookie - The carfax is cleared up they sent me an email on Friday. It's funny you say that about gluten because lately I've been feeling symptoms too:confused: Great job with your walk:)

Wave hi to everyone

Goodnight:)
 
'Morning!
Belinda, lol at your walks being a warm up. We were amazed at how doing 11 seems normal. Trying to convince dh to do another long one in September. He's interested, just doesn't want all the hotel, parking and food expenses from two weeks ago. Already planning on doing the May one again next year. Hope you enjoyed your patio this weekend.
Kristin, I've been thinking of you. The workouts are probably helping you w/the stress. Take care of yourself, and Deb is right, you are being an excellent role model for your sons.
Amelia, you inspired my workout today - bootcamp. Isn't that one of your favs?
Deb, at one of the King Arthur classes I took, they said most women develop lactose and gluten sensitivities! Hope you don't. It would be a challenge with the pasta.
Original boot camp done.
Waves hi to every one else.
