Commit to get FIT & LEAN for November!

Good Morning:)

Not sure what my workout will be today. I am leaning towards the GS, S&H or PS....I don't really like PS back though. But the workouts are good and short. After lunch I was planning on taking the baby for a run while DS was in school, I'm not sure what the weather is suppose to be like.

Belinda** what's the issue again? Is it your knee?...I don't remember. Maybe cause I'm to busy listening to my running partner complain about her many problems. I don't know if she will ever be able to run long distance again. I think she is trying to build herself back up without injuring herself. Can you ride a bike?

Kristin** yeah, I guess you are a little rotted. There's another storm headed your way? I don't get to watch any day time tv and in the evenings I watch recorded shows so it seems like I have no clue what's going on in the world. I'm probably better off!

Deb** everything is going on a moving truck! It's a long haul, the other side of the country. It's tempting to drive cause we would make a lot of money but I can't do that to those boys! Maybe if it were summer and we could make a mini vaca out of it and with Christmas being so close, it would just be a disaster. The dog will go on the plane.

I will be, to report my workout!

Lori:)
 
Morning girls,

Today I will start M2 w/D13!

Lori - have fun with your weight workout today, I know you will be working hard. I have PF (the arch of my foot is swollen, makes it hard to walk on or do high intensity workout.) I did pick up my bike from the RV (still had it in there:confused:) DH will put it on the bike trainer, maybe I can use the bike for awhile.


Debbie - so sad!! We saw it on TV, so many families lost their homes, everything. DH and I will donate money to Sandy instead us give each other gifts for x-mas. We got everything we need:D we feel bad for all those families that lost everything! So far I love the Neato XV14, it cleans my carpets/floors:p pretty cool:eek:

Kirstin - so glad you and your family are ok. Good job on your workout yesterday.

Did anyone hear from Cookie? I am getting worried. Hope all is well.

Hi Amelia - how are you doing? Come back, we miss you.

I will be back later to report my workout.
 
'Afternoon!
Sorry for not checking in - lots of family things. My mom isn't doing well, lost power, got it, lost it, and sons!
Belinda, hope your foot is appreciating your patience with it.
Lori, the dress is beautiful. Your hard work is showing.
Kristin, I can't imagine the frustration folks must be feeling. The devastation is terrible.
Debbie, in agreement that there is nothing you can say to those who are affected by it. Glad you got your power back.
Got tickets to hear Obama and Clinton speak yesterday in Concord, NH, so went up there - they were awesome.
Extremely overwhelmed with trying to keep up with everything.
Cookie
 
Hi girls. Got the call from work today that we should all be able to report back to school on Wednesday. I am so happy. I cannot wait to return to some kind of normalcy. I realize I am blessed that I can return to normalcy a lot faster than the folks in Long Beach. My boys and I have cabin fever. Even though it is only 45 degrees here, I took them outside for an hour and a half to get them to get some energy out. If the gas situation is better tomorrow, I might take them to one of those bouncy places to get them to release the energy, lol.

I am going to plan the month of November. I have to take things out and speed things up and you know,November is pretty much a wash now. On Monday we are off again for Vets. day. I asked why don't we stay open and was told it is a national holiday. . . Then the following week is Thanksgiving. WHAT?!?!?! I don't know. . .

Anyway. . . just did TTM. I love this workout. Even though it is a lot of huffing and puffing and sometimes I see spots, lol. The music is awesome. It moves os quickly I never get bored with anything. Love it.

Cookie- sorry to hear that you are having so many issues right now (((((HUGS)))). I am jealous ethat you got to hear Obama and Clinton. I have always been a supporter/fan of Bill Clinton. One more day and this election is over. I cannot wait to not have to see/hear/read another negative ad.

Belinda- M2 already! Wow! I am thinking if Xtrain doesn't come, I will do a one month undulating rotation with STS. Week 1 will be M2, Week 2 M1, Week 3, M2, Week 4, M3. Something like that anyway, lol.

Lori- another storm, a nor'easter. The problem is the shore is already so devastated, it is not going to hold up against a little nor'easter as it normally would. I feel so terrible for the people on the shore. We keep seeing commericals for Christmas and it feels so wrong. Not only because it is too early for these commercials, but so many people lost everything. .. it is insensitive to say the least.

Deb- Now I see why your BIL would get on your nerves. These doomsday-type people make a bad situation worse. They need to have common sense. If you do not have to go out, don't! How hard is that?

Okay, off to shower and look into reworking lesson plans.

Kristin
 
Hey Girls

The boys are in the tub so I thought it was a nice time to check in, although DS is complaining that the baby spit up in the tub and now he wants clean water:confused: My workout today was PS and MM chest,shoul, and tris. When DS went to school in the afternoon I went for a 13 k run with the stroller. Took me 1:05.

Belinda** well you need to get DH to get that bike out. You could be sweating up a storm on that thing. Does your foot feel better now that you've cut back on the cardio?

Cookie** sounds like you've been busy. I feel your pain! Trying to keep up with everything around here leaves me overwhelmed most times....esp when there are to many people around. My house goes from full to empty...never sensible.

Kristin** I think it's illegal to work certain holidays and I guess vets day is one of them. Im going to go home next weekend b/c of the long weekend. Nice workout today.

Alright....mayhem is in my tub. Seriously...can't anything be relaxing around here. Ones acting like a maniac and the other one is hanging out over the edge trying to reach the dog! Almost bedtime.....woo hoo!!!!!

Lori:)
 
Hey girls,

D13 is done. I also did 20 min yoga. I am so glad for the longer breaks in M2.

Got my new Rapid Fire 3 DVD today. Can't wait to try it out, she has someone doing low impact. The case was broking, I think the dvd is fine. Haven't played the entire dvd yet.

Cookie - (((HUGS)))sorry to hear you having so many issues right now! Hang in there! That is so cool you got tickets to hear President Obama and Clinton speak. I feel your pain, I feel overwhelmed with trying to keep up with everything.

Lori - my foot isn't feeling any better. I am always on my feet. DH said he would put the bike up tonight, let's see, lol. LOL, about the baby pitting up in the tub. Nice job on your 13K today. I miss running.

Kirstin - nice workout today. Your plans sounds good. I don't think XTrain will come before the end of Dec, maybe beginning of Jan?

Debbie - have fun at the gym tonight.

Good night, ladies. See you all in the morning.
 
Hi,

I decided to take a rest day today. I went and did a bunch of stores today. I was shocked only waited 5 minutes for gas now I'm good to go, patience & cutting back worked:)

Since a few people in our neighborhood are without power they cancelled Halloween again but did something small on someone's street.

On a lighter note people were telling me today that the lines at Dunkin Donuts & Starbuck's were 1 - 2 hours wait time right after the storm. I guess you can't blame them rather stand in line for coffee than gas! I'm sure all the instant coffee sold out quickly & some people with electric stoves probably couldn't makle that:confused:

Belinda - The bike sounds like a great idea. That is so sweet of you to donate at our Church they are taking up a donation too. Who is the instructor for Rapid Fire?

Lori - Your right between the boys & Christmas it would be tough to drive. DS used to run & I asked him about your time & he said that is really good;) I remember bathtime with the boys fun & bubbles all over the place:)

Kristin - It feel so good to get back into a routine. Most schools went back today in NJ but not sure about the hardest hit areas. Do you try & double up on your lessons or just pick up where you left off?

Cookie - So sorry your going thru so much (((hugs))). Take some deep breaths & relax because this will pass.

Goodnight:)
 
'Morning!
Belinda, hope your dh has the time to put the bike up today if he didn't yesterday. A podiatrist was speaking about pf yesterday on the radio and I thought of you. He said many people feel the best relief from icing it. Does that help you?
Kristin, it is so heartbreaking to hear and see the suffering. Of course, it can't be easy with two young active boys needing to use up their energy either. TTM is awesome.
Lori, bathtime used to be more like a tsumani in our house. My neighbor told me once she would tidy up while her daughter took her bath. Tidy up?!!! Everything needed a mopping over here.
Amelia, hope you're doing well. Ran into Sam's last night to look for a fitbit but couldn't find one.
Deb, so glad to hear gas is okay near you. The storm was scarier than any Halloween. My dh grew up in Staten Island and so many of his friends there lost everything.
Ok, off to do ub.
Cookie
 
Good Morning:)

Another rainy day here today...when is this gonna stop. No one seems to be complaining though. I think we had such a nice summer and fall, that everyone is just going with it. Not to mention that it's been very mild outside. I will take the rain over the snow.

I'm sore from yesterday's workout. Today will be back and bics. I'm not sure what cardio I will do. I have baby group after lunch so I won't be waiting to run outside when DS goes to school.

Deb** I can see people waiting in line for coffee....can you imagine the person who probably got served the wrong order? Lol no doubt it happened. DD was complaining the other day about how rude people are at mcds cause they have to wait a few minutes for their food. Society is in such a rush these days and everyone's forgotten their manners at home. Our local Tim's is awful for messing up orders. I think it got so bad that the owner use to make the person who screwed it up, deliver it to the customer! Lol

Belinda** so did the bike get brought in :p? Do you have cyclemax? It's a good workout.

Cookie** I use to tidy up when DS was older and in the tub but I wouldnt be able to move two feet with the two of them in the tub together. The baby goes under water at least twice, I'm always saving his life! So if I were to walk out of that bathroom and he went under water, DS wouldn't tell me, he'd just laugh and laugh and laugh. He thinks everything is funny. So I sit there either nex to the tub or on the toilet and I can't even check in b/c it's totally out of control. But a mop is def in order.

I will be to report my workout!

Lori:)
 
Morning girls,

DH didn;t put up the bike, not sure what I will do today? It's sooo cold outside.

Debbie - I am sorry, it's Susan Chung Rapid Fire 3!! About the donations, it was my husbands idea:D. He is right, we got everything. And so many people lost everything with Sandy. I think they need things more than we do, lol. We got food and we got a house, what more do we need:rolleyes:. I also have enought workout DVDs, that last me into my 80's, lol.:p

Cookie - I do ice my foot. It helps alot! Have fun with your UB workout today. and no....dh didn't set up my bike yet:rolleyes:. LOL!

Lori - I take the rain over snow. Hate snow and hate beeing cold. Had enough snow in Germany. My son said the other day, I hope it snows here in WV. He hasn't seen snow in awhile. He lived in El Paso TX, it't hardly snows there. I do have Cyclemax, once DH puts up the bike I actully can use it, lol.;)

Kirstin - have fun with your workout today.

I will be back later. Have a good one.
　
 
Hi girls,


This morning I did Rapid Fire 3 w/ Susan Chung. Awesome workout and a lot of fun. Did the low impact one;)



I will be back tonight. Need to work my abs after I cook dinner. BBL!
 
Hi everyone. Got my workout in and voted today. My workout was GS Chest and Triceps Timesaver premix and CF slide and glide tabata premix. I am getting ready to get back to work. I got a message saying that staff should report early for a 15 minute meeting before the start of the school day. That may be hard to do with the weather. The highways tend to crawl when it drizzles out, :rolleyes:

Anyway. . .

Belinda- what you and your husband are doing is wonderful. Very inspiring too. . .

Lori- I stopped giving my boys a bath together because it came to be such a PIA :rolleyes: Now older DS takes a shower, younger DS takes the bath and eventhough it takes a little bit longer, it is peaceful, lol.

Cookie- I think little girls are so different from little boys. No doubt your friend could tidy up. Me . . I have to stay in the bathroom at all times and stay focused. . . no browsing the web on my phone. . . no distractions, lol.

Deb- I am shortening up my unit and I was having the students write an in class essay on their indepedent books. . . I am changing that now. The quarter ends on Friday and it is just not enough time to get it all in.

I am off to cook dinner.

Kristin
 
Hi,

I did my own leg workout walking lunges, squats, cursty lunges etc. . . We live in a pretty large town & when I went to vote the woman said the rest of my family was there and we all went at different times:confused: She wanted to give me a sticker saying that I voted but I passed:)

The store I went to today was such as mess so much backstock but happy I went. Today I saw a very lonely Santa at the mall sitting in his chair (sorry Kristin;)) & they sneaked some Christmas songs in the mix too:confused:

Belinda - I'll have to check-out that DVD. Tell DS to come to NJ we're expecting snow tomorrow & please bring a shovel:p

Lori - Does your DD work at MCD? Hey, why are we getting snow before you:confused::mad::confused: Will you try & get clients to train when you move?

Kristin - I hope tomorrow doesn't feel like the 1st day of school for you. The good thing is you were able to get a lot of workouts in when you were off. I only picked up a few things at the foodstore in case the power should go out with the new storm:(

Cookie - DH has a friend in Staten Island but they are ok, sorry about your DH's friends can't believe how many miles that Sandy hit. You must have been at the poles early.

Goodnight:)
 
Good morning:)

I don't think I reported yesterday's workout. I did PS and MM back and bics, abs and a Mindy spin DVD. It's cold out today but the sun is shining so I will probably go for a run after lunch with the baby. It should be warmer by then too. I'd like to do legs today but I don't like doing legs before cardio and I don't have enough time after....we shall see. Might be just a cardio and abs day.

Belinda** nice workout! I'm not a lover of snow either...only Christmas time. I don't enjoy having to bundle up either.

Kristin** have fun back at work! I guess you caught up on some sleep while you were off:p. Routine is nice though. I like having my daily routine and when I get thrown off...then Im not impressed.

Deb** we usually don't get snow until dec month but we have had it earlier but it just doesn't stay. I don't know why our temps are so mild...besides for today. It's crispy out there today.

Ok....I have training at 9:30 and my own workout after lunch. That's my only plans for today.

Lori:)
 
Morning girls,


Today I will do D14 legs + abs. Didn't do abs yesterday.

Lori - good job yesterday on your bi/tri workout. Have fun with your run today. Hope to get a run in soon.

Debbie - good job yesterday with your leg workout . Cursty lunges get me every time.


Kirstin - you are starting school today, right? Have fun. Good job yesterday.

Hi Cookie and Amelia!

Off to get some stuff done around the house, BBL!

Happy Hump Day, everyone!
 
Hi girls,


Did D14 this morning, just didn't had time to post:confused:



I will try to be back later. Have a good day, everyone!
 
Hi everyone! So went back to work today. Around 12:30 it started. . . snowing!!!!! There are at least 3 inches of snow outside right now, no joke. WTH!!!! It is going to be an interesting winter and vacation days are going to be taken away, not sure which ones, but I will need to get out of dodge, lol. Guess I will have to hang in until summer, lol.

My son's school had an early dismissal because they lost power. Not sure if he will even have school tomorrow. Not sure what I will do about that. I might have a two hour delay or, God forbid they lose power, another day off. I cannot believe this!

Belinda- great job on STS today! It felt good to go back to work today. I just want things to go back to normal. Still long, long waits for gas. It is scary because this whole gas situation was supposed to be settling down and yet there are long lines everywhere still.

Lori- I did catch up on sleep. It was soooo hard to get up at 5 this morning. I wish school started at 9. 9-5 would be good, lol.

Deb- smart getting some food staples before this storm. They had said we would get rain and Nassau County would get a coating of snow. . . they were wrong!

Okay, off to go relax.

Kristin
 
Hey Girls

Todays workout was cardio only. I did 25 mins on the tm, DWP and 20 mins spin workout, hill repeats. Tomorrow will be legs and cardio. It was to cold outside to take the baby for a run so I opted to stay inside.

Belinda** nice workout. I should invest in STS when it's on as,e again...but xtrain is just around the corner!

Kristin** I think the world is coming to an end and we should all start praying...for what I don't know! Lol. It's so weird. I bet if I talked to my dad about it he would bring up bible stuff. We don't have any snow yet but I looked at tomorrows forecast and it's rain and snow.

I will bb in the morning! Night y'all:)

Lori:)
 
Hi,

I took a yoga class, did a quick set-up & ran errands today. DH called me around 1PM to say the power was out again:mad: but it did come back on right before I had to make dinner so I was happy (only 5 hours instead of 5 days:eek:). It's slippery & messy here hoping it will be better in the morning. It is going to be in the 60's on the weekend:confused: can't wait!

On top of everything we went to drop off my inlaws dog last night & my FIL looked like he lost so much weight. He lost 26lbs in 2 weeks in FL. He called the Dr. & they put him in the hospital today to run tests. We visited him tonight & he is in good spirits.

Belinda - Your getting thru STS fast!

Lori - It wasn't running weather here either;) Great workouts today. Your clients are going to miss you.

Kristin - I told someone today that no one greets with "How are you" now it is "Do you have power?" LOL. It is still fall so what is it with this weather?

Waves hi to Amelia & Cookie

Goodnight:)
 
Good Morning:)

I was awake before the baby this morning. I must have slept well:) Woke up to a layer of snow on the ground this morning. There is something about the first snowfall that looks so pretty and puts me in the Christmas mood. To bad I don't know where I'll be for christmas...that part sucks the spirit right out of me again! And I don't have any lulu running pants....imagine that! This snow is kind of making me want a pair but they are $98.

I forgot to tell you guys that I fund a house I like...it's just not built yet:eek:. It won't be ready until march! So let's see how that goes.....it would be so nice to have something new instead of homes for the same price that need work done.

Deb** my goodness, that's a lot of weight to lose! Is he a big man? I didn't even know it was possible to lose that much weight! Hopefully he is ok.

I will bbl to report my workout. It's going to be a cardio legs day.

Lori:)
