Commit to get FIT & Lean for May!!

Hi,

I took a spin class today. The gym has been packed:( as long as I get a spot I can't complain. Ugh, off tomorrow & already thinking about so many things I want to do.

I forgot to say Lucy (gf's dog) leaves me a package every morning.

Belinda - What do you think of Les Mills Combat (I think you have)? I like the Physique 57 workouts.

Waves hi to everyone BBT

Goodnight:)
 
'Morning!
Belinda, I hate to confess that w/o my glasses I can no longer read a thing. Yesterday I couldn't even read a few slides on someone's powerpoint! A couple of years ago, my kids gave me a map magnifier as a joke, but I absolutely love it, and use almost every single day at home. What is L Secret?
Amelia, how are you juggling everything?
Lori, we miss you.
Kristin, this is the weekend! Someone mentioned yesterday most folks move the weekend before or after Memorial Day or Labor Day! I'm taking that to include make commitments.
Deb, yuck on the presents! What kind of dog? I need to use our spin bike more, and you're encouraging me. This weekend I will - so please hold me to it. Just sort of dread the getting back in the saddle and getting used to it.
STS tb done and now for a long day. Have a meeting this evening on National Board with candidates and review of entries. While I enjoy the process of offering support to them, I need this group to finish 'cause the next one has already started!
Cookie
 
Morning everyone,

Today my plan is to do JMBR workout #4 and abs.

Cookie - me too! I also use a map magnifier:confused: I guess, I am getting old. My eye-side is really bad! Can't see anything without my glasses:( Leonard's Secret Weapon (you do lots of squats and lunges and that for 20 min).

Debbie - I love Physique 57. Les Mill Compat is a lot of fun. Different from Cathe's kickboxing workouts. You do mostly punching and kicking instead of jumping. It gets my HR up without all the high impact. Good job on that yoga last night. I need to get more stretching in.

I am getting ready to drop off one of my dogs(dental cleaning) at the vet. Than I will drive to Washington DC to pick up my German passport.

I will be back in the evening. Have a great day.
 
Good evening,

Had a great morning/afternoon in DC.

I am done with JMBR wo#4 and Less Mill Hard Core Abs! Really liked the ab workout.

I will be back in the morning.
 
Hi,

I took a yoga class today & did a bunch of walking lunges. I tried on bathing suits the other day and all I can say is Ugh! There is one Macy's that has special lighting in the dressing rooms (DH said is it dark) it almost is:eek: & it makes anything look good.

Belinda - Les Mills sounds interesting. How come you have to go all the way to Washington DC to get passports (was almost going to say Germany)?

Cookie - The dog is an English bulldog, very drooly & has what seems like a smoker's cough:confused: since their noses are pushed in they have a hard time breathing. I used to spin almost every day but I like to spin once or twice a week only because it seems like I try harder. I hear you on the glasses need to make an appt. with the eye doctor.

Kristin - I hope everything is falling in place for you.

Amelia - How is everything?

Goodnight:)
 
'Morning!
Belinda, you sure are doing a variety of workouts lately! How was the traffic in DC?
Kristin, hoping this is the weekend for you. Any more news?
Deb, I'm not crazy about drool. I used to want a St Bernard til I saw how much they drool! Perhaps it is too many children, but I felt I had cleaned up enough of that! Plus my dh's snoring has had me awake since 3, don't need a dog's snuffles compounding it. One of my ds had wanted a pug but I said no b/c of the breathing. Ended up with the pillow-destroying breed instead! I don't think I could ever build up the endurance to do spin that many times a week.
Have cardio supersets to make up from during the week and a hiit. Not sure I'm up to both with little sleep. Meeting long-time friends (since first grade) for pizza this evening.
Cookie
 
Good morning,

Today's plan: walking the dogs before it rains, JMBR cardio#1. Next week I will start a new rotation:eek: I will mix BBL High & Tight into the mix somehow:eek:

Cookie - traffic is always bad in DC:confused: Hope you get some sleep tonight.

Debbie - the German Consult is in Washington, DC! It also gives me a change to see Alesia:D It's all good.

Off to get more coffee than get busy. See you all later.
 
Hi,

Today I did Stronger lower body. We just finished watching "Silver Linings Playbook" it was a good movie.

Belinda - A good excuse to see DD:) The weather here wasn't too great either.

Cookie - This dog snores a lot need to turn up the TV because of it. DS & gf take the dog to the park & it needs to sleep the rest of the day (so different from large breeds). Have fun with your friends!

Kristin - I'm sure you are really busy with baseball & moving.

Waves hi to Amelia & Lori

Goodnight:)
 
Good morning,

Today is a rest day for me:D Been working out for 14 day's straight, need a break. Next week I will do whatever my mood strikes and JMBR Phase #2.

Debbie - what is Stronger lower body? Glad you liked the movie. Need to look it up.

Waving Hi to everyone that follows today.

Have a great Sunday, everyone.
 
So sorry I have been MIA. It has been very hectic and crazy over here between work, the house, renting this house out and having a yard sale. . . I did not work out Thursday, Friday or Saturday :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:. That was not planned. To catch up on my rotation I did a little of my planned workouts that I missed. I started with All Out, but did the Floor cardio only premix, added on BS Shoulders. Then I did CLB, premix combos 7-12 (step) and then BS bi's. I burned over 900 calories, so that did the trick I think, no? :)

Anyway. . . we are closing on Thursday of this week :eek::eek::eek:. The best part is I have a four day weekend for Memorial Day, so now I have to take Thursday off and then I have a long weekend to move everything in and set up!!! I am so excited! We have packed a lot and have started to put furniture in garage, getting ready for the big day. DS has school Friday, so that will give me a lot of time to set the house up in peace!

As far as the rental is concerned. . . supposedly the guy that saw it Wednesday wants it. . . but he has not turned in the papers yet. A couple that came a few weeks ago (with the two kids) came again yesterday and offered to take it. Unfortunately, due to the permit issue, we could not take them. DH is going to call town tomorrow, but I don't anything will come out of it. Then some guy came to look yesterday. He said he was interested, but again, have not heard anything. I swear. . . I am getting so frustrated with this part of it. We have someone coming to look tonight and another person tomorrow. The person who offered $150 below our asking price is turning in paperwork tomorrow. I really want to hold out for a better offer, but it seems as though it is not going to happen. Not sure what to do!

This week I also have to meet with my AP, who is my lead evaluator and go over my "artifacts" that prove I am an effective teacher. I was thinking of bringing an empty bottle of vodka as an artifact as a joke. . . but I am not sure that would go over well. I laugh at the thought of it though, lol.

Deb- we did have baseball on Thursday. It was an exciting game. Our team played the other "good" team in the league. We were neck and neck and then our team got a triple play. It was all over after that. It changed the whole tone of the game. It was soooo exciting. I just read about you trying on bathing suits. All I can say is I am dreading it myself. My eating has been DIRTY, lol.

Belinda- you've been kicking butt for 14 days and I have been slacking off!!! I need to make up for my slacking. Bathing suit season is coming!

Cookie- I am almost there with this house! Everything is happening all at once though between work and moving. I wish I could have moved after school was out. One thing at a time would have made this easier to manage I think.

BBL, hopefully with good news that we got a renter!

Kristin
 
Hi,

It was a long day. I did Squeeze Stronger upper body. We went to meet up with DS & took him for dinner.

Belinda - I forgot to put that it is Squeeze Stronger (Tracey Effinger) they are high rep w/o's. You deserve a rest day!

Kristin - You were very busy but you did make-up your workouts! It's great that you have a long weekend to move. I hope the renter comes through, I'm hoping it's someone that gives you full price.

Waves hi to Cookie, Amelia & Lori

Goodnight:)
 
Morning,

Yesterday I did 20 min yoga, felt great afterwards. I need to start stretch more.
Today I will do a mix of LB/UB wo and abs. Today I am starting Phase 2 with JMBR.


Debbie - never done her workouts, heard they are tough! WTG, yesterday.

Kirstin - don't worry about your workouts. You have a lot going on. Good luck with the closing/renter.

Waving HI to everyone that follows. Have a great Monday.
 
Good afternoon,

I decided to do Jessica Smith "5 week Summer Shape up" rotation. I did UB Meltdown + Below the belt (LB wo was tough) and Abs, Butt + Thights. I thought my arms gonna fall off today. The LB workout was so tough. My sweat was dripping down my face and onto my mad:p). I was soaked from head to toe:eek: Good workout! Loved it! Oh, before I forget I also did JMBR #5! I will take a walk with the dogs later tonight. It's still hot outside.

I am down another 3 pounds:D Love it!

I will see you all in the morning. Good night.
 
Hi,

I did a quick cardio workout today. I had the day off but so much running around to do. I'm looking forward to the long weekend.

Belinda - Kudos on the weight loss!! I'll have to check out Jessica Smith's workouts. Are you bringing any workouts with you to Germany?

Waves hi to everyone:)

Goodnight:)
 
Good morning,

Today I will do JMBR#5 plus Jessica S. Power walk + Strong Stretch.

Debbie - all Jessica's workouts are on youtube and the best part they are FREE! If you want me too I can sent you the full rotation for this week? She will post all the workouts every Sunday. It's completely free. Love free! Well I went on a shopping spree yesterday. Had a gift card from amazon.com since last year, I finally bought some DVDs. Yeah, more:rolleyes: LOL! I bought a few of Jessica's Smith dads for Germany. I also will bring Turbo Jam Elite. I only need a tubing. I plan on bringing Cathe's Travel Fit and her beginner dvd with the bands. And Stretch Max! I also have Hip Hop Abs and Rocking Body? They don't require anything? So many DVD's to chose from:rolleyes: Good job, with your cardio last night.

Waving Hi to everyone that follows. BBL!

Hi everyone. I had to take today off because DS was in a school play. They did it on budget vote day, to strategically get parents in to vote. If the budget does not pass, the cuts will be devastating, including kindergarten. . . it would go from full day to half-day. My younger DS is going to kindergarten and I cannot afford for that to happen! Anyway. . . I am taking advantage of the day now. I just finished AT. I haven't done that one in its entirety in a long time. It is so humid out, I sweat at least five pounds off, lol. Now I am going to do more packing and then pick up both DS early. Maybe I will treat him to some ice cream. He did such a good job!

Still do not have a set time for closing. It is supposed to be Thursday. My attorney is waiting for clearance from the bank. If it isn't Thursday, it will be Friday. Either way works for me, lol.

Oh. . . and I don't want to get my hopes up too high, but I think we finally have a real renter! They came and looked at the house and said they wanted to sign the papers as soon as possible. The wife told me she loved my kitchen and loved how clean everything was. . . which I found a bit shocking, because it wasn't all that clean to me, lol. I was mad at DH for not cleaning more before they came, lol. Anyway, hopefully they submitted the paperwork in for real! They had a fire in another apartment and the son wants to go to my school district, so this will work out for them. They also want to move in June 1st, which is perfect for me. This way I don't lay out money on another mortgage payment on this house! Please keep your fingers crossed!

Belinda- that s great that you lost another 3 pounds!!! I am putting the pounds back on with all the crap I'm eating lately. .. stress eating, lol. When are you going to Germany again? Soon, right? So exciting. I would love to go one day!

Deb- the person last night offered a little less than full price, but it will cover out entire mortgage, and we are happy with that. Kohl's keeps sending me coupons. They need to stop! Don't they know I cannot use my credit cards now!

Cookie- Saw something on the news about rumors of Cuomo running for president. I had to laugh. If that clown runs I might go from being a die-hard democrat to a die-hard republican in a blink of an eye, lol. I cannot stand him!

Ok, off to do some packing and cleaning!

Kristin
 
Good afternoon,

I finished all my workouts a while ago:D

Kirstin - thank you! I will keep my fingers crossed! Hope all the paperworks goes through. I will leave end of June. Good job on AB.

I will try to check in later. Boy it's getting hot/humid outside:(
 
Hi,

Today I did Supercuts and already have DOMS for some reason shortly after that workout it happens but Yoga tomorrow should help. It was so humid today.

Belinda - I checked out that site the Kickboxing ballet workout sounds interesting . . . I'm going to try it . . . thanks! You have a good plan of DVDs to take to Germany & tubing is a great idea.

Kristin - I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you. It's great that they are coming in close with your price. Kudos on getting in your workouts because packing is a workout too!

Waves hi to everyone!

Goodnight:)
 
Morning girls,

I am up since 3 a.m:mad: can't sleep!

Yesterday DH and I went to a funeral :( My husbands friend he also worked with him, died of cancer last Friday:( He was only 42 years old. He was fighting cancer for the last 10 years. He was the first guy I meet from my husband's work, we looked at a house right next to his. So sad! :(

On Sunday we are having a party at my house. What was I thinking? :eek: We invited the all my neighbors. Thank goodness, Aleisa will help me with the cooking. I don't know if I should have a BBQ or cook something:eek: Maybe all that thinking is to early:p

Debbie - I love Jessica Smith's workouts. My butt is sore from Monday's workout. Lot of people like the KB ballet. Jessica Smith doesn't require a lot of equipment or space. Which I like. And you still get a great workout in. Yesterday I did the strong stretch. Well, I thought it would be a nice, relaxing stretch:eek: NOT! I worked my entire body. Jessica's workouts are tougher than they look, but gentle on the joints.

Where is Cookie, Amelia and Lori! Miss you guys!

Today I will do JMBR cardio #2 and JS " New Metabolic Conditioning".

I will check in after my workout. Happy Hump Day!
