Commit to get fit & lean for Nov 16, 2010

Hey, sorry for being mia again. I've been sick and feel like I'm coming out of a fog now.
Belinda, what is step fit? Did you preorder Cathe's new ones?
Amelia, lol at the boxes falling on your head during the timing. I was picturing something like I Love Lucy. Love the crockpot. Don't know what took me so long to discover it.
Lori, do you have all your holiday shopping already done? Sorry you're having this with your friend.
Helene, my back has been killing me! Wonder if it is part of a virus going on? Yesterday I needed assistance to get out of the car. I feel like I'm 80+. Hope you're doing better.
Trish, why did your work hours change?
Kristin, like you, I didn't initially like yoga but now do. More importantly, I realize how much my body likes and needs it.
Deb, you're sounding like me - forgetting to get somewhere I planned to be. Feeling like I'm on a treadmill that doesn't have a button to slow it down or to get off. How is your ds doing?
Melissa, sorry to hear about your grandfather. I don't know where it was initally posted, but I read others comments back to you, so I have the idea you're rather suspicious about the circumstances. That certainly doesn't help with dealing with the loss.
Iris, I don't recognize that name, but then again it could be my memory. Would I know him from my work, community, or ?
Feeling like a train wreck w/a wicked sinus infection, sore back, dry eyes, and pounding headache. Gee, don't I sound lovely?

Good morning Cookie,

Glad you back! I missed you! Sorry, you are not feeling well, hope you get better real soon. I know how you feel, getting another infection myself. I am so sick of this!. Step Fit is on the Cardio Hits DVD', it's on oldie but goody:D Please, take it easy, my friend;) ((HUGS))

DH wants to take me out for lunch:p we also need to check the mail room. Not sure, if I posted this last week? I ordered a bike trainer for him last week, we is checking the mail room since yesterday;):D I am excited about the bike trainer too:p it comes with a workout DVD! I also got it with free shipping, which is a plus and $50 off. It was more expensive on Amazon:confused: and no free S+H:( You know I will use that bike trainer too, lol! ;)

Have a good one! BBL!
 
Morning, just enjoying my coffee before i head off. We have new people coming in today (more temps) so it should be an interesting day...the warehouse is preparing for Christmas online orders. Hopefully we'll get off early today so i can get in a workout.

Cookie-It was funny now that I think about it! Boxes were flying everywhere:eek: for some reason they shut off the conveyar belt that takes all the completed boxes off to be shipped ,guess they wanted to give us an added challenge :confused: . (((Hugs))) i hope you feel better, sounds awful:(

Belinda-I hope you get to feeling better too. Im out of a loop now-a-days with everyone. Did you schedule that surgery or are you waiting to do it in the states? (i remember you telling us just can't remember where you decided to do it?)

Well, life is throwing us some goodies this weekend. Our car's radiator fan is loose and DH is going to fix it himself (which is kinda scary:confused:) just as soon as we have a pretty day. And our central heat didn't kick on last night so we have a guy coming out to look at it this morning. DH will be here for that (another scary thing, i usually handle things like that;)) I just hope he doesn't charge us an arm and a leg:eek:

have a great day:)
 
Hello all. Last night I did PLB. I was able to match Cathe’s weight on all the exercises, I am super-psyched. Still not squatting with 100#’s like Belinda, but at least I am keeping up with the program. The only thing though, is for the lunges and leg press, I hold dumbbells instead of the bb because I find I lose my form with the bb and it is not effective.

Deb- how’d the chicken come out in the crockpot? When you say chiecken breasts, do you mean like the cutlet kind of chicken breast? I am curious. I have a ton of those fit and lean cut chicken from Perdue. I wonder if the crockpot would be good, lol. Anything to make life easier.

Melissa- good job keeping up with your workouts. We all fall off the horse sometimes, just gotta get back on it. I have no idea what kind of yoga it was. I need to find a class around here. I loved it that much!

Amelia- Happy birthday, I don’t remember if I wrote that before or not. I took a live class, loved it too.

Trish- that dessert from the other night sounds delicious. Some things just cannot be denied, chocolate brownie with caramel is one of them ;)

Belinda- Step fit? Is that a Cathe dvd. I need to look into her older workouts too.

Cookie- I loved yoga so much. I need to find a class around here. Glad you are feeling better!

Hello to Lori and anyone else I missed!

What is everyone doing next week? I know I will not be eating clean on turkey day. I am making a chocolate mousse pie and homemade potato rolls (they are yummy evil carbs, lol).

Morning ladies!

I have a mental health day today so no hole for me (yaaaaay!!!). I have cardio scheduled, not sure what I'm gonna do yet.

Cookie, welcome back!! I hope you feel better. That sinus infection does not sound like fun :(

Belinda, have a great lunch w DH! LOL @ the bike trainer. Let us know how it is ;)

Amelia, when it rains it pours huh? That stinks about the car & the heat! At least you don't have to be around to deal with it :)

Kristin, love me some PLB! I miss the Pyramids; once I'm done w/ STS I'm going to have to break those out. I probably won't be eating clean on turkey day either. I was thinking of making a PB & Choc ganache cake to bring, in which case I need to burn all the calories I can in the next 9 days :eek:

Have a great day everyone!! BBL to report my WO.
 
Good morning girls,

I didn't get my workout in yesterday too tired:( It's going to be rough since Black Friday is just around the corner. Not sure about a workout today either 1st priority after work is getting a turkey:) We also have my DS's family meeting tonight.

Belinda - What exactly is a bike trainer?

Cookie - Happy to see your back:) I'm hoping your getting time off when your sick for some reason I don't think so:( DS is doing well we have the family meeting tonight . . . it's pretty interesting since it's a group meeting with others in similar situations and it makes me realize our situation could be far worse.

Amelia - I have some house issues that need to be taken care of but keep pushing them off:( Sorry that your problems are happening around the holidays. Great job yesterday with power hour.

Kristin - I used boneless chicken breast but not the thin kind, a bottle of BBQ sauce & 1 onion & when it was done shredded the chicken & put it on rolls. It was really good. Amelia posted a similar receipe w/homemade BBQ sauce and I have tried that and it was delicious too!

Melissa - Have fun today:) Is the hole (LOL) giving you time off to go to Virginia?

Trish - You deserved the cheat dessert, if your going to splurge it might as well be something delicious:) I get :mad: when I cheat and it wasn't even worth it.

Lori - Do you try and schedule more workout sessions on your days off?

Helene - How is your back, are you home today? Are you able to work from home?

Iris - Come out, come out where ever you are:)

Have a great day:)
 
Hallo girls,

The bike trainer came today:eek: Can't believe it's already here! I just odered it on Nov 11:D That was quick! DH is still at work, he will put it up tonight. Can't wait to try it out! :p

Amelia - I gonna wait for the surgery! I am not ready :confused: You poor thing! ((HUGS))) can't believe you having so much going on! Hope things will turn around for you soon!

Melissa - this is the bike trainer I bought for my husband:

Yeah, Step Fit is one of Cathe's older workouts!

Kirstin - did you and Iris worked out with Cathe on Monday? Nice job, on PLB!
You will get there one day too. You are doing fantastic, girl. I find using a BB instead of DB much easier. Whatever works, right! Awesome, job! I will eat on Thanksgiving. Carbs and sweets! Thanksgiving only comes once a year, right:p Why do you think I am working out so hard now? LOL!

Hallo to the rest of the gang! BBL!
 
Hey Girls!

Quick check in for me........


Another busy day. Hopefully tonight I will get to catch up on what's been happening around here. I'm not training anyone tomorrow so I will def be checking in in the a.m.

I did a 7k run last night and 12 mins on the bike. I think that equaled 45 mins of cardio. I weighed today and was surprised to see that I was 121.8:) Probably b/c I ran last night.

Not having a real good day. DS had his speech apt and it went really well. She then tells me that he is first on the list to see the developmental team but it probably won't be until after christmas. She then said " I think there is more to it than a language issue" My stomach just sunk!:( In my eyes he is almost 4 but acts more like a 3 yr old, minus his agility. He was up yesterday morning at 5:53 and didn't stop until 9 last night and that was only b/c he was forced to stop. I wouldn't be surprised if he isn't hyperactive....anyway...it was just a tough blow. He is making great progress in the meantime and I shouldn't get to stressed out about it.

Yes....if you haven't checked out my pics do so! Love them all! I have 86 to choose from. I decided to buy the disc from her so I have copyrights to my photos.

I will bbl to catch up on personals!!

Lori:)
 
Workout done! I did 30/30 and Cardio & Weights Step premix. Also finally got some abs in and did abs from C&W.

Deb, lol yep the hole gave me a big 3 days off to go down to VA. I was actually surprised.

Belinda, WOW I can't believe you got the bike trainer already! That was quick. Merry Christmas to you!!! Oh and to DH ;);)

Lori, I'm sorry to hear about DS. Try not to get too worked up about it. He is making progress and that is all that's important :) HUGS to you!!!
