Commit to get FIT & Lean for May!!

Good evening,

Did my workout awhile ago. Holy crap, this one was tough! LOL! Sweat was dripping down my face from start to finish. Great workout in a short amount of time.


Good night, everyone.
 
Hi guys. I wasn't really feeling like working out, so I scrapped what I had planned and did a mish-mash. I did IMAX 3, intervals 1-5 premix, then I added CF low impact tabata premix. I was a sweaty mess.

We have the walk through for the house tomorrow and we close on Friday!!!! Oh, and the family we liked signed the papers and put down the deposit!!! Everything is working out :)

Belinda- it is seriously humid here. I am not putting in the AC yet though. I refuse. We want to eventually get central air in the new house. I am bursting with excitement. I cannot wait to move in.

Debbie- supercuts gives me quick DOMs too. Maybe that is one I will do tomorrow. I am hoping to keep up with workouts this week. Instead of sticking to my rotation, I think I will do what I want this week. Hopefully it will keep on track with everything going on.

Cookie- the district I live in had a failed budget. They were trying to break through the tax cap. We are now looking at 1/2 day kindergarten :(. It is so unfair. The district I work in had a failed budget too. Not sure how we are going to have all the students take tests on computers in 2 years. We don't have the money for the technology, not at all. King's solution is to budget for it, bwahahahaha. Moron!

Off to bed,

Kristin
 
Hi,

Today was yoga. DS is moving in with a group of guys but it is South Jersey. I'm going to help move him tomorrow since the roads are going to be a mess because of the holiday (hopefully not tomorrow).

Belinda - It is so sad about DH's friend:( life is so short:(. No wonder your up worrying about the party;) Do you do the you-tube workouts on your ipad?

Kristin - I'm so happy everything is falling in place for you:) I would do the workouts you like this week too! I can't believe they would go backwards from full-time to part-time Kindergarten:confused: it's so unfair to the children they expect so much from them & expect them to do it in 1/2 the time.

Cookie & Amelia - How are you?

Goodnight:)
 
'Morning! Sorry for not checking in the past couple of days, just swamped. DD came home from college, work is just crazy, and many other things. My eldest ds has been diagnosed with bipolar II, and he's struggling to accept that it will be a lifetime challenge. TG he's been diagnosed. I knew there's been something for almost his whole life! Anyway, he's not currently being medicated since he's still waiting to see another specialist. But I feel like there's a light starting to pop thru. going to do gs bsb in a few minutes, or as much as I have time for this morning.
Belinda, your workout travel plans sound good. I'll have to remember to check out the kickbox ballet, that sounds like something I would really like. How many folks are you having on Sunday? A bbq is nice with a large group. TG for daughters!
Kristin, yeah on the renters!!! A very wealthy suburban one here did not pass and they also wanted to go beyond the tax cap. That darn cap was Cuomo and now look at the disaster that is creating. They say districts will be bankrupt if it isn't lifted. I used to teach kindergarten, and not much gets accomplished in half a day.
Deb, what a good mom! Hope the traffic and weather are cooperative. Isn't supersets awesome? Honestly, I'm getting lots of doms from the May rotation. If only I didn't stress eat... However, have not had a single cookie since New Year's. Well, okay, cookie dough but that's it.
Cookie
 
Morning everyone,


I will do JMBR# 5 and JS " Dance Stretch!

Cookie - (((HUGS))) so sorry to hear your son and you going through this! TG he's been diagnosed. I really enjoy Jessica's workouts, they look easy....but they are tough. I can't wait to try the ballet KB tomorrow.

Debbie - thank you! Good luck with the move today. I do all my youtube workouts on my computer/TV.

Kirstin - I am so happy everything falling in place for you:D When is your move in day? My AC is kicking:eek: No way, I could workout in that heat!

Off to get more coffee. BBL!
 
Hi,

I didn't get a workout in today but will try and do something extra tomorrow. The move went well just so many things to get settled. It seemed like a workout because lots of steps to his room:)

I stopped in a store to see if mini-bags I was looking for came in & ended up tiding them up. Wouldn't you know it I run into the district manager & store manager when I was dressed down, they laughed.

Belinda - The weather is not supposed to be so humid on Sunday so that should help. Have you met all your neighbors?

Cookie - Did you see Silver Linings playbook? It would be great for you to see especially with what's going on with DS. I'm happy that he will get help. No cookies . . . you may have to change your nickname:eek:

Kristin - Will be thinking about you . . . happy moving!!

Goodnight:)
 
'Morning!
Belinda, I have to keep going back and check what workouts you are doing b/c you of your comments regarding them. Great to hear how much you are enjoying them, and the results!! Congrats on being down 3 more pounds. Better be careful, or your relatives won't recognize you.
Amelia, are your darlings almost done with school? What are they doing over the summer?
Kristin, today's the day!!! Hope all goes very smoothly.
Deb, that movie is my life. The good thing is he has made me be far less critical of others, but I wish I only had to learn about it from a movie! Not sure what you were wearing when you went into the store, but I'm sure it wasn't ripped sweats. Moving was a workout. Glad it went smoothlly.
Kickbox done and glad the mma one is less challenging than kpc - it is so humid here today. A teacher friend I'm helping with National Board certification invited us to her house tonight for a final read over and then a homebrew beer tasting. No wonder I don't loose weight. Any special plans for the holiday?
Cookie
 
Good evening,

Workout is done! I am beat today. I don't know, why I drive myself nuts when I invite friends/neighbors over? I been cleaning all day and I am still not done..:confused: At least the big stuff is out of the way. I know, it's gonna be fun. My house is way to big for us and I hate cleaning constantly. But it has to be done, right?

Kirstin - good luck with the move! Thinking about you.

Cookie - you are so funny:D I have a confession to make:( I am not proud, but since last year I gained over 25 pounds:eek: It wasn't my eating or exercise? You all probably wondering why I am losing so much weight lately. After completing STS, I noticed my weight was going up. Not in a good way. Although I was told muscle weigh more than fat, bowl of crap! Anyway, I still don't know what really caused my weight to go up, I needed to change something. With my foot hurting for over 8+ month didn't help either. I saw my family doc and the sleep doc they both told me it could be my hormones or the lack of sleep I was getting for months:( I got so fed up weigh going up/down but never to a were I was happy. My cloth didn't fit me anymore, so I had to change things up. Since I didn't see any results with Cathe's workouts and really couldn't do her high impact workouts with my PF/heal spur. Once I borrowed Turbo Jam from a friend, I wanted them. I was sweating like crazy doing low impact workout and I was losing weight. So far I am over 25 pounds. I am back down to my weight before I started gaining all those pounds. I still have a little to go, but know whatever I am doing is working for me. I still have a glass of wine once in a while on the weekend. Now you all know! LOL! Have fun tonight.

Debbie - yes, I know all my neighbors. All of them helped up moving. Did you get your workout in?

I am not sure, I think Amelia is doing Jessica's challenge too:D I think I saw her on youtube posting today?

I am beat after cleaning all day, good night!
 
Hi,

Yesterday I took a yoga class & did XT legs barre bonus. I took a rest day today, everyone is sick here & I wasn't feeling well either. I guess with this crazy weather one day we need winter clothes the next summer!

Belinda - Sometimes you need to just change things up & it working for you:) I'm sure all the problems with your foot did cause a lot of it too. None of us are perfect but the important thing is we get up & move most days. Good luck with your party & don't worry I bet your house is cleaner than most your German hertiage helps with that:)

Kristin - Good luck with the moving & I'm sure your burning lots of calories this weekend;)

Cookie - It's always easier in the movies too. You sound like you have a busy weekend with funs things planned. The beer tasting sounds interesting . . . did they have pretzels too?

Waves hi to everyone!

Goodnight:)
 
Hi,

Today I did the rest of XT legs. We watched "This is 40" didn't like the movie. Tomorrow we are going to my in-laws for the 1st BBQ of the year:)

Belinda - I'm hoping you took time to enjoy your BBQ.

Kristin - I hope it's winding down for you & you can relax tomorrow.

Cookie - How did the beer tasting go?

Goodnight:)
 
'Morning!
Belinda, was the party yesterday? I'm sure if you didn't straighten up, your house would still be cleaner than others!
Kristin, how did the closing go? Are you getting doms from moving max?
Amelia, what are you up to? Miss you.
Lori, where the heck did you run off to? Is your family still visiting?
Deb, sorry to hear of sickness all around you. Hope you didn't get it. The beer tasting was a lot of fun. My friend's husband asked mine what type of beer do I usually like and he said "she's a stout girl." I had to remind him that was only in terms of beverage not body type. My dh always puts his foot in his mouth. Yesterday he said "you look really good from the back." When he saw my look of shock, he corrected to say my back looks really strong.
Took my mom out to lunch on Saturday to her favorite middle eastern restaurant and ate a bit too much of naan! Haven't had bread in a while so it was a treat. Yesterday did HS, which i love, love, love, and going downstairs to do sts tb in a few minutes. Meeting a friend for a walk and talk later this morning. Wanted to go visit other friends this afternoon but procrastinated doing some stuff yesterday, so have to see ... The sun is finally out.
Cookie
 
Good morning,

We had so much fun at the party. Everyone stayed until midnight, lol.

Debbie - believe it or not, I gained most of that weight gain right after doing STS:eek: My foot didn't help, but really gained all that weight before:( How was your BBQ? Hope you had fun.

Cookie - that's funny! My neighbors said the same thing about the clean house. LOL! They their house isn't that clean, I shouldn't clean my house when they came over. Can't help it! I always clean my house, lol. I like a clean house, it makes me feel good. Plus, I am home all day I have no excuse not to clean, right? LOL! I had a little to much carbs yesterday, OH well!

Kirstin - how did everything go? Hope you get some time to relax?

I don't even know what workouts I am doing today? I think it's a interval walk with Jessica and JMBR#5.

I will be back tonight. Have a great day.
 
Hi,

The BBQ at my in-laws was fun & the weather was nice. I woke up last night with stomach pains & most of the day today:confused: I hope I didn't catch ds's bug:rolleyes:

I did a plyo leg workout when we came home.

Belinda - I'm happy you had fun & everything turned out great!

Kristin - I'm guessing you are exhausted but hopefully settling in.

Cookie - Too funny about DH putting his foot in his mouth . . . and I bet he doesn't even realize:) I just recently tried Naan from the supermarket & it was good it doesn't seem to be as heavy as bread.

Waves hi to Amelia & Lori - How are you?

Goodnight:)
 
'Morning!
Belinda, I truly love a clean house and it frustrates me to no end that mine isn't. Both my dh and ds are accumulators, and I just want to throw their stuff out. So, I work on not going crazy. This morning I get up and on my kitchen counter is an open newspaper, open magazine, and one glass! They weren't there last night and no reason for them to be there! Augghh! Sounds like you know how to throw a great party! What did you serve?
Deb, hope you're feeling better. Stomach bugs are horrible. My dh is very sweet but boy does he put his foot in his mouth a lot. Did sts tb yesterday, and got in a couple of walks, weeded an island, and was worn out by 7! Have to do a presentation today and tomorrow 1.5 hours from home, so leaving soon for it. Planning a trip to Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons this summer. So excited!
Cookie
 
Hi everyone! The move went pretty well. We have gotten a lot done already and spent way too much money, but it feels like home to me and it has only been four days :). I am in love with this house. I did not workout at all Thursday-Sunday other than moving, which I consider a calorie-burner for sure. I did, however, manage to get HS in yesterday. Today I did DM. I am off today (I thought the day was a give back because of the hurricane, but it turns out it wasn't :)). I am going to catch up on grading and planning the next two weeks (classes end next Friday and then we give finals and summatives). My older DS had to adjust to the house a bit. The first two days were rough. He was upset because his Wii couldn't be hooked up and cable didn't come until Sunday. Now that we have most of the house situated he is much better. My younger DS loves the house. We have a huge backyard that they can play in and they are already enjoying it. I cannot wait for summer to just be in this house :).

Anyway. . . Sorry for being MIA. Didn't get Internet until Sunday and it has been hectic, but I've been thinking about you guys.

Belinda- I've put on a few pounds this month myself, all from bad eating, I am sure. Trying to stay on track now, but it is hard with all the BBQ, and the take-out we've been ordering the last week did not help. I am going to up my cardio and ease up on heavy lifting for a few weeks and see if that helps. June is coming soon! Are you getting excited?

Deb- Keeping my fingers crossed that you are feeling better today and did not catch that bug. I am exhausted, but in a good way. I am happy and content with this house. I just feel free almost, if that makes sense.

Cookie- I've been meaning to tell you that I think that even though being diagnosed with BP and facing it is hard, it is better than calling it "mood swings" and ignoring it. Kudos to you for not trying to sweep it under the rug, and for your son getting help. My sister has BP II and my family ignores it and that is why she can get away with being so nasty and hateful. Everyone makes excuses for it. They ignore her depression and excessive weight gain, or chalk it up to laziness. It is a serious problem. No one wants to discuss/address it. She is not taking meds, not seeing a therapist either. She is in her mid-30s, which makes it worse from what I've read (if you don't get help). I think it is great that your son is taking that first step and that you are not hiding it, but addressing it. In the long run, that is what is best for your family, IMHO.

Okay, off to shower and then get to work!

Kristin
 
Good afternoon,

I ended up taking a rest day yesterday. I was beat,:confused:

Today's workouts: Jessica's " Interval Power Walk/Jog = 35 min "+ "Quick Stretch = 14 min " and "Waistline Work" = 20 min. and JMBR#5 = 35 min.

Kirstin - glad you love your new house. Glad everything went well with the move:D

Debbie - glad you had fun with your in laws. Weather was perfect.

Cookie - that would drive me nuts:p I hate clutter;) I always been like that:confused: Can't help it! Wished sometimes I could look the other way! We served hamburgers, Bratwurst, steaks in the afternoon. In the evening we grilled baby back ribs! They all loved it! And of course, we had German potato salad, I made 10 lb potato salad:eek: We also made an anti pasta salad w/ salami. Alesia made this yummy chocolate white mouse dessert:eek: We made so much food:rolleyes: All my neighbors brought a side dish too. We had a lot of food and everyone took food home.

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

Today I did GS legs. I've think I did legs a few days in a row now but different ways if that makes sense. My stomach feels much maybe it was just a 24 hour thing. Needed to dodge raindrops today & summer starts tomorrow but not on the calendar:eek:

Belinda - Wow, you really know how to throw a party. Awesome menu & Alesia's dessert sounded yummy wish I could have been there;)

Kristin - I can tell how happy you are and it's only been 4 days! Is your workout space set-up & do you have a lot more room? My weights up too:(

Cookie - I went several years ago to Grand Tetons & Yellowstone, we loved it. Will tell you more about it tomorrow. How exciting:)

Goodnight:)
 
'Morning!
Belinda, the food sounds wonderful! Ten pounds of potato salad?!!! That's a lot of peeling. Bet it is all gone now though. What do you put in yours? Your dd's dessert was the perfect finishing touch. How did you discover Jessica's workouts?
Kristin, your happiness comes thru in your post. Congrats on the house and moving in. Some people just have a harder time with change, but it sounds like everyone is settling in. What's the kitchen like? Thanks for your comments re BP. This ds has been a true challenge all his life, and it has greatly affected his relationships with his siblings. Hopefully as he continues with treatment and gets medication, he'll be able to do something. Last night he must have done some oil painting and I can smell the fumes, which bothers my allergies. Not a good way to start the day; wish he would remember to ventilate if he's doing that indoors.
Deb, looking forward to hearing about your trip. I'm so excited as this is something I've always wanted to do. Glad your stomach is doing better. Whenever mine isn't doing well, I think of the line from Devil Wears Prada, I'm just one stomach bug away from a size ...; only for me it would be a few stomach bugs, and none of them would be worth it.
Got a migraine yesterday, haven't had one in a while, so feel like I'm recovering from a bit of hangover this morning. Probably will take a rest day to recover. Got in a four mile walk yesterday. Today have the second day of that workshop that is 1.5 hours away. Does that count as a workout? Think it was the light in the lcd projector that bothered me.
