Commit to get FIT & Lean for May 2014!

Morning girls,

Im off today and so loving it. :)

Not sure what todays workout will be, I know it will be a cardio. I miss step so I may pull out one of cathe's. Its kinda cloudy today or I would go on a hike.

So I found a Zumba class close by and I talked one of the girls from work into going with me. Its on tuesday evenings so I may go this upcoming tuesday. It sounds fun.

Debbie- Nice job on your yoga class. I'm hoping it isn't too busy this Sunday since I have to work.

Belinda-a triple workout tomorrow? Wow...:eek: You go with your bad self!

Cookie-Glad to hear the audit went well. How have you been doing lately? Did you get a nap in yesterday?

Kristin-I know!! My kids are counting down the days until summer break. Its nice for us parents too..we can sleep late when we don't have to be at work so im counting down the days too. lol Good job on your workout, sounded like a good one.

Vicki-You sounded like a little busy bee on your last post, hope things have slowed down for you. Good job on pyramid

Kelly-Hows your day going?

Melissa-You must be counting down the days until summer break too. How are you doing?

Ok...off to get ready to go grocery shopping. Blah...
 
Good morning,

P90X3 Incinerator is done! Will start my 2nd workout shortly:D

Debbie - fantastic job on the yoga last night. I enjoy the P90X3 yoga very much. Absolutely love it.

Amelia - hope you love Zumba as much as I do. It's so much fun! Enjoy your day off today.

Waving Hi to everyone that checks in after me. BBL!
 
Hey girls,

I am back to report my workout:I didn't feel like doing S&G today, I did Cathe's BC workout instead, got a nice sweat going:)

Not sure, if I am up too doing a 3rd workout later today. I am wiped right now:eek:

Have a good one. BBL!
 
Hey guys. What a crazy week. TGIF.

Yesterday I got TOTM, but I did walk the dog for 60 minutes. I had no energy to do anything, but he needed to get his energy out and you know how that goes.. . Today I did a walk/run with the dog and then I did X10 Step premix.

Tomorrow I plan on drinking tons of water and hitting the weights.

I am overloaded with paperwork between papers to grade, log sheets to fill in for the peer coaching, and prep for my new teacher class. I told you they gave me another credit to teach, right? Now I won't be done until the end of this month, but it is worth it for the extra $. I am just about making back what we paid for the pool.

I will bb tomorrow with personals, I swear!

Kristin
 
Good Saturday afternoon :)

What a busy week! My 12-year old had a soccer game Wed night (so rest day for me), my other daughter finished her sophomore year of college and moved back home Thursday night (managed to squeeze in Pure Strength Back & Biceps), and my son graduated from college on Friday (had to clean the house in a frenzy because my mom came to visit, then went to ceremony and then to dinner with the fam). Today I am doing STS Plyo Legs and going to a friend's daughter's college grad party tonight and Mother's Day lunch at my uncle's house tomorrow. What are you all doing for Mother's Day?

Debbie--I once dreamed that I found a fox and kept it as a pet! Funny thing is the dog we recently adopted kind of looks like a fox, but the poor thing doesn't have a tail. And we're not only wearing short sleeves here in NC, but tank tops & flip-flops, too. It's been near 90 degrees all week. Thank goodness the humidity hasn't been too high yet. But it's coming, oh, it's coming :( The pools in our neighborhood open next weekend!

Cookie--Glad you survived the audit :D. Never been audited and don't want to be!

Belinda--Did you end up doing the triple workout? That's insane! It's all I can do to complete one workout :confused:. Honestly, one is plenty for me.

Amelia--Your walk the other days sounds wonderful. I love the outdoors :cool:. I'm just about the only person I know who can go on a 3-mile walk with the dogs and never use an ipod to keep me entertained. I see all kinds of interesting things. Some, like snakes, a little startling though :eek:. Zumba is fun. They offer classes in my neighborhood at the sports club, but the times don't work for me, or they coincide with my scheduled workouts, so I haven't been able to do a class in a while. I'd go if a friend would go with me.

If y'all are on Facebook, I recently joined a group called "Cathletes". Interesting topics and posts if you'd care to join, too :). Waving hi to everyone else and hope you have a wonderful Mother's Day weekend!

Hi ladies,

I did P90X3 CVX in the morning and LIS Trisets upper body in the evening.

Kirstin - wow, you have a lot going on. Hope walking your dog helps. Did you get all that paperwork done? Hope you get some time to relax tomorrow. You deserve it.

Vicki - you had a lot on your plate!Hope you get a brake from all that stress soon. I said" Hell with that triple workout:p:eek: Just couldn't do it;) I have to figure out a way to get it in tomorrow before I go to see my kids in DC? Sounds like you have a nice day planed tomorrow. Have fun tonight and tomorrow.

Waving Hi to Cookie, Debbie, Amelia and Kelly.

I will see you all tomorrow. Good night, everyone.
 
Hi everyone. I just finished Circuit Blast. We had DS baseball this morning and my nephew's birthday party this afternoon. My sister has started a feud with my brother this time. . . Luckily tomorrow I am having my parents over for Mother's Day brunch alone and won't have to see or hear the drama. I'm also happy that she is attacking someone else this time. I am hoping Mother's Day is not ruined for my mom by this. . . but my sister always thinks about herself and no one else matters. We shall see.

Anyway. . . today was also Baxter's first birthday. My puppy is one years old today. Boxers are technically puppies for two years because they mature slowly mentally, lol. That is actually a fact. That is why he is so hyper still, haha. I walked him twice today, 40 minutes both times and he still wanted to play, lol.

Belinda- no time for my paperwork today, which means it must get done tomorrow, but that is okay. I used that as my excuse for having my parents over in the morning, ;). Besides, the school year is almost over and I plan on just floating in my new pool this summer, haha.

Vicki- congrats on your son graduating college, that is such a great milestone. You must be so proud.

Amelia- I can never do zumba. I just don't have the rhythm, I guess, lol. I imagine having the summers off benefits everyone involved. I really cannot wait to just slow down. I've been juggling so much, I feel like I'm going to drop something at some point.

Deb- I was in Kohl's today and it was a huge mess. You popped into my head. I hope you are enjoying your Mother's Day weekend.

Cookie- what's new? are you counting down the days too?

Okay, I am working out tomorrow. I have MM on tap.

Kristin
 
Hi,

On Friday I took a hot yoga class and am feeling it today. I decided to take a rest day today. Friday night we went out with DH's old gym friends, today we took my Mom out tomorrow we are having late lunch at my in-laws. Needless to say my eating has been terrible:rolleyes: When DH planned the dinner for Fri. he didn't realize it was Mother's day weekend but going to bed early tonight.

Belinda - Kudos on attempting 3 workouts in one day!! You do always manage to get in 2 everyday;) Will you see the kids for Mother's Day?

Kristin - Wow, I can remember when you 1st brought Baxter home, the year flew by. You are really going to enjoy your pool even better that you worked so hard for it this year:)

Amelia - Zumba class sounds like a fun idea. Do you have to work tomorrow?

Vickie - You are so busy with your kids and you were still able to workout:) Today was tank top weather but a few thunder storms rolled in.

Cookie - Any plans for Mother's Day?

Waves hi to Kelly, Melissa & Lori

Goodnight:)
 
Happy Mother's Day, everyone!

Kirstin - time flies isn't it? Can't believe Baxter is already a year old. Hope you get to enjoy MD today. Sounds like you have a nice little vacation spot in your back yard with your pool.

Debbie - I do a Cathe workout and P90X. Most day's it's like 1:30 min total. Some day's are less than an hour, not to bad. It all will change next week, when I start the 4DS workouts.

I will be back tomorrow. Enjoy your day, everyone.
 
Happy Mother's Day!
Belinda, are your children coming by today. You do so much, I don't know how you could squeeze in a third workout.
Kristin, one year already?!!! Wow, that seems to have gone by fast. Our youngest dog, the Nova Scotia duck tolling retriever just turned 2, and she still acts like a pup. Lots of energy as long as it is cool weather. Now that it is finally getting to my fav kind of temps, she'll start lagging. Not sure about you, but I think paperwork reproduces at night. No matter how much I get done, there still seems to be even more.
Vicky, congrats on your son! That's a wonderful accomplishment. Are all three home for the summer?
Amelia, that's what I love about all the walking dh and I did - really noticing the beautiful scenery and wildlife. We're planning on going out in a bit for a long walk, and I can't wait. Since it will be midday, we don't think we'll see much wildlife. Zumba is so much fun. So much fun! Enjoy.
Deb, I've gotten back into Travis and UY again. After last week's walk, I couldn't wait to get back to yoga to work out tightness. Hope you relax today and enjoy the day.
Did gentle yoga today. Eldest son is coming by this evening but my others aren't even in state. However, did get greetings from many of the newer colleagues - guess they must see me as a mom!
Enjoy the day!
Cookie
 
Happy Mother's Day!

I hope everyone had a good day.

My DH got my an origami owl necklace with special charms, a C and N for my boys' names, a heart that says family, a paw print for Bax, and a few other charms too. It is beautiful and I cannot wait to wear it tomorrow.

Today's workout was a walk with BAx, and then running around and shopping. We bought a new patio set and some chaise lounge chairs to put my the pool. The pool is being installed tomorrow. I am so excited for that. Then tonight I did PP. I was supposed to do MM, but I didn't want to work out for 68 minutes. Plus, I was tired. PP was the perfect fit for me tonight.

Tomorrow I have a conference. It starts at 8 so I still have to get up early. Hey, it is something different though. It should be fun.

Cookie- yep he is one now. We got him in August, so it doesn't seem like a year just yet. Oh I forget to write this before. He got out today. My younger DS left the backyard gate open and he ran off. My DS was so hysterical crying, I couldn't understand what he was saying at first. Luckily, we found him in my neighbor's yard (the one with the other boxer). He kept running in circles to get away from us, playing a game, but we got him back in the house. It was crazy.

Belinda- I need to do some longer workouts. I figure when I start T25, I will do two workouts a day, but because T25 is short, it won't seem like I am working out for too long, if that makes sense, especially if I am able to do T25 in the morning, which is what my plan is.

Deb- my eating this weekend was not stellar. I need to get disciplined with it.

Okay, off to shower and relax. Good night everyone! Happy Mother's Day again!

Kristin
 
Hi,

I hope everyone enjoyed the day!

It was a nice weekend with beautiful weather but not much down time. I didn't get a chance to workout today ended up doing Kohl's reports when I came back from my in-laws:( The newlyweds were visiting from Tenessee and are doing much better. They looked happy.

Belinda - I was thinking about you and how I need to plant flowers & herbs. We have still been getting some cool nights but soon:)

Kristin - Your pool set-up sounds awesome! I could imagine how scary it must be for the dog to get out. A few times when the boys were small our dog escaped but TG neighbors called. We had an electric fence & sometimes our Golden would take the shock to get to something interesting:confused:

Cookie - I was wondering if you were still doing UY:) That is so nice that your colleagues acknowledge you on Mother's Day. Will the kids be coming home for the summer?

Waves hi to everyone

Goodnight:)
 
Hi girls,

Hope you all had a great day yesterday. I did!

Today I started week 6 of P90X3 and 4DS. I did Triometrics this morning as my cardio and 4DS Chest & Back. I will keep my workouts no more than 60 min tops.

Cookie - the kids made brunch for us yesterday. We also went to Union Market and after that we went to Georgetown:eek: Went to a German coffee shop there had coffee, in the evening the kids cooked dinner for us. We took the dogs with us, this way I did worry about them being home to long:p

Debbie - it's around 88's today. DH and I bought a lemon tree and lime tree, we still need to replant that. Sorry about the colder nights. I am spending lots of time on my deck on my new lounger. I feel like I am on vacation:p

Kirstin - you must be excited about your pool. How cool! Did you jump in today? About the shorter workouts, you really don't need to do more. Less is more! The reason I am backing off on my workouts, I ask Cathe a few weeks ago and she said not to overdue it on the cardio. She recommended to do shorter (20-30 min) and not more than 4 cardio workout a week. I think you will get enough with T25. Those are tough workouts;) Just my 2 cents!

Waving Hi to everyone that checks in after me. Good night.




I will be back tomorrow.
 
Hey everyone.

I just finished Rockout Knockout. I did the second premix and then the bonus heavy bag (although I do not have a bag. . . I have gloves though).

The pool was installed today!!! I am so excited. It looks beautiful. It will look even better filled :).

I went to a conference today with Odell Education. It was okay. Last time I went for the first two units they had it over two days. This one they did two units plus assessment in one day and it just seemed so rushed.

Anyway. . . back to school tomorrow. The kids are getting a little crazy as the year is winding down. I feel as though our deans are a bit lax with certain kids, which give these kids a sense of entitlement and "I can do no wrong" attitude. These are the kids causing havoc in the halls now and now the deans are suspending them left and right. Ugh. When will June get here? Lol.

Belinda- they got down with the installation at 7 p.m. The water is not even filled at the bottom yet, lol. My neighbor has the T25 dvds that I loaned her and she is away until Wednesday. I will start T25 next week. I think I will throw in 2 total body workouts a week. No more and see what happens.

Deb- I thought about the electric fence after he got out. It has only happened this one time though, and I don't know if it would deter him either. He needs to be leashed when the gate is opened or in the house, bottom line.

Okay, off to shower!

Kristin
 
'Evening!
Belinda, bet your yard looks great! I've been thinking about getting new patio furniture. That's the prob w/my 5 yr plans, dh reminds me that this is not the year. But I can still think about it. Where do you keep the dogs when you go, like to Georgetown? Do they walk around with you?
Deb, sorry you had to work on Mother's Day. Did you get all the paperwork done? I'm going to try to alternate UY w/another workout for a bit. It really does make a difference in how my body feels. We have invisible fence, and the goldens would run it. This current crew is quite good w/the system tho. We're going to visit one son in July - he's in Seattle! The dd is working in Providence this summer and the others are all working also. They might come home for a few days, but a couple are thinking of joining us in the Outer Banks in August.
Kristen, you'll probably be in the pool this weekend! How exciting. That training does sound very rushed. Is this one you will have to turnkey? My poor dh, I had them put in the fence system before anything got moved into this house. He really knew then how much I love my dogs.
Amelia, how are you doing? What did you decide to do re the manager position?
Vicky, how are you doing? Is it an adjustment having the kids move back in?
Kelly, hope all is well.
Did sjp/sb premix this morning. Was a beautiful day here and I was so happy to have to walk a mile to a bldg!
Cookie
 
Hi,

I took a yoga class today. It basically became undone when I went to see about trading in my car (it's on it's last leg) and the carfax has a huge mistake saying it was totaled in an accident which was inputed wrong and seems impossible to get right:rolleyes:

Belinda - Do you think Cathe means to put more emphasis on weight training? We have a lemon bush in a planter and I get about 2 lemons a year;) but a tree would be awesome!! It starts out with about a dozen but between weather & squirrels only 2 make it.

Kristin - I could just imagine how stir crazy the kids are getting at school. Great news about the pool:cool: Do you already have a fence because of the pool?

Cookie - I'm sure you will end up having a full house at the Outerbanks especially if the kids can get away. I did get all the paperwork done but should have been better with getting it done before Sunday:eek:

Waves hi to everyone

Goodnight:)
 
Morning

Im off today and loving it:) Yesterday was a 3 mile walk with leslie and today im thinking about doing some total gym. But then again, I may just take a rest day and do some cleaning around the house. My oven could use some TLC and I've got to clean out my closet:confused:

Oh and im so excited about an upcoming trip to the coast of Ga. Can't wait!! Were leaving the first week in june:)

So my Deli manager asked if I wanted a full time position that just came available ( a lady is transferring to another store because she can't get along with another lady :rolleyes:) and im going to take it instead of the Bakery Manager position. I don't want all that stress in my life, ive been doing so much better without it. :)

Hello to everybody. I will bb later
 
Good morning,

P90X3 The Warrior is done. I still have to do 4DS Legs/core!

Cookie - we keep the dogs at Aleisa's/DS's apartment. My patio furniture is 25 years old, it still looks amazing. The only thing we bought this year is the lounger for the deck. I will post a pic later, if I remember:eek: It as blistering hot yesterday, the dogs stayed on the deck for only 15 min. Haven't done SJP in a long time. Great music in that one.

Kirstin - enjoy your new pool! I think, it's a great idea adding 2 full bodyweight workouts to T25. Let us know what you think:) I think once I am done with the Bodybuilding rotation, I will do no longer than 45 min workouts/a day. Summer is here and I want to enjoy the weather.

Debbie - Well, I am doing her bodybuilding rotation, I guess she the focus is on weight training. Oh no, about your lemon tree:confused: I have to replant mine in a bigger pot this week. It's gonna be a pain getting the tree inside for the winter. But I will deal with that when time comes:p Mine already has like 10 little lemons growing. I hope I get more than 2 lemons. I keep mine on the deck for the summer. We also planted blueberries this year.
 
'Evening!
Belinda, 25 yrs?!!! You do take really good care of things. DH laughed when I told him I'm thinking of patio furniture. Says I don't like to eat outside (bugs) and I don't rest. Told him if we got a nice recliner, I would start. He has a hammock that he just loves. Bet the dogs love traveling and visiting.
Amelia, with the deli there is less drama and that is great. Why is it that some folks love drama so much? A woman I work with stirs up trouble all the time. Drives me crazy. Honestly, makes me dream of retirement or quitting. You are a must better housekeeper than I am.
Deb, can the mechanic or insurance company go back into carfax to change it? Wow, that has to be extremely frustrating and aggravating. Hope the yoga helped. We have a small, more like minute, orchard. Think there are about a dozen fruit trees, and in 20+ years we've had two apples. And they were pretty small!
Yoga and then a few 30 Rock episodes to help me not think about my annoying coworker.
Kristin, how's the pool coming along?
Hi to every one else.
