Commit to get FIT & LEAN for November!

Good Morning:)

The baby seems to be better this morning and ds has been good since Sunday night. Now...the baby could have another episode yet b/c it's only early in the morning but its been 24 hours, his colour looks better and he's eating his breakfast like he hasn't seen food in a week.

Yesterday I did a 11k run while I was at my parents. I could have went longer b/c the day before was a rest day and I felt good but I didn't want to leave my mom with the boys to long b/c I didn't know how they were feeling.

There isn't a big lot on the go here today. The wind seems to have picked up again and I was hoping to run this afternoon. That won't be happening with this wind so I will most likely spin instead. I also need to do weights and I will probably start that soon. Then after lunch I will go to the grocery store and get some things we are out of. I've stopped stocking up on stuff. I haven't been buying any meat at all so I usually run out of stuff sooner then I'd like...also we are going away in 16 sleeps:)

Kristin** how was the root canal? I had one once and it wasn't that bad. I thought it was going to be worse then it was. I didn't like the piece of tubing they wrapped around my tooth and it forced me to breath through my nose cause I think the whole thing covered my mouth. But other then that there was nothing to it. I hate that I have to find a new dentist and a new dr when we move! I like the ones I have now. I'm hoping to pop in and see my own dr when I come home for visits, just to keep my file active. I may have to try that skinny girl stuff this weekend...not b/c my panties need removing though (yet) :eek:

Deb** the stores are always closed around here on holidays and when I went to visit dh, it was a holiday and the stores were open. I thought it was weird. I think the hours were from 12-6 or something like that. Everything shuts down here. Enjoy your workout today!

Cookie** I forgot about Bill Crosby....forgot he was still alive :eek:. I use to love his tv show when I was a kid. There were a lot of good tv shows when I was a kid, not like the crap that comes on now. Friday nights were the best.

I will bbl to report my workout!

Lori:)
 
Morning ladies,

Sorry for not checking in, it was a long and busy weekend. Thanks for all the bday wishes for DH. He had a wonderful day. On Saturday I went with Aleisa apartment shopping for her, we would a really nice studio apartment for her. She is moving in Jan 11:( I am sad and excited for her at the same time. I know driving to work every day, 2 hours one way is killing her. Aleisa and I also looked at sofas for her, we found a nice one in Macy's.

I have no workout to report since Friday. Today I will do D16 today.

Lori - glad your baby is feeling better. Good job on your run yesterday. When are you moving? How is your/DH family feel about it? Any offers on your house yet?

Cookie - my kids loved watching BC shows. Glad you had fun. I didn't plant anything. Not sure if I will:eek: DH cleaned up my borch/deck yesterday.

Debbie - how was your spin class? How is your FIL doing?

Kirstin - Alesia invited our friends for Thanksgiving, wished someoen would invite me for a TG dinner. Not looking forward to all the cleaning and cooking. You are enjoying those LIS series, hah? Good for you.

BBL! Have a great day, everyone.
 
Hi everyone. Quick check in for me. Grades are due on Thursday morning and it is a bit crazy trying to get everything done, especially after all that time off, I had to push back an assignment that was needed for the first quarter, and now I am trying to get everything done. Anyway. . . today's workout is finished. I did PUB pyramid up premix and TTM Low impact slide and glide tabata premix. Felt good.

Belinda- I am always happy to be invited to someone's house for Thanksgiving. My mom was complaining about having to go there, and I said the same thing. . . "Mom, no muss no fuss, no dirty dishes to clean!"

Lori- the root canal went okay. He did the first part. Part two is on Monday. I am not looking forward to that. My tooth just feels funny, and it is shaved down quite a bit.

Deb- I had put off going to the dentist for so long that this is what I get, I guess. I have to go now every three months for cleanings because I have gum disease :(. I guess it is better to go and know and get the treatment needed than to wait until more damage is done. BTW- it is so upsetting to me that all these stores are going to open on Thanksgiving night. Does Jersey still have the blue laws? We need them back. Target is opening at 9 p.m., Walmart at 8. I feel so terrrible for those poor workers. Not even Thanksgiving is sacred anymore. Pretty soon stores will be open on Christmas for the return sales :mad:

Cookie-OMG, training DH did not go so well. I did plan to do four circuits with him. He made it through 3. He doesn't want to do the cardio, just the weights. He is thinking he can go jog for cardio. WHATEVER!

Okay, off to bed.
Kristin
 
Hi,

I took a spin class today & surprisingly there were so many bikes available:confused: The cleaning girl at the gym (she was so nice) left & the gym isn't clean anymore.

I my FIL is back home & is doing better they gave him lots of antibiotics so it really helped.

Belinda - That is some commute 2 hours:( Aleisa will have so much free time & she'll visit:) I can't wait till the day after Thanksgiving so I can relax.

Lori - Will you be moving close to where DH is training? Great job with your runs, do you prefer to run outside?

Kristin - Not sure if this is true but heard that Walmart workers may strike on Black Friday . . . I think they should it will send a message that they should enjoy the holiday too! Only 1 county has the blue laws (it is where Trish lives) they actually lifted them last weekend (for the 1st time) so people could buy supplies they may need after Hurricane Sandy.

Cookie - I still haven't planted the bulbs either this weekend or next:eek: I'm sure this weekend the stores will be packed too:( well at least the food store. Are you cooking Thanksgiving dinner?

Goodnight:)
 
Morning everyone,

I forgot to mention we picked up Chu Chu (our dog) last Friday from bootcamp. He stayed there for 2 weeks. We have to bring him every day for the next 2 weeks to training, so the dog doesn't forget what he lerned. My dog is a different dog:D and he listens. Last night I was training him for an hour at camp. I am impressed with my dog. Thinking about taking all my other dogs to boot camp, which isn't cheap! For the next 2 weeks that is what I will be doing at night, training the dog at camp.

Debbie - glad your FIL is back home again. This is one reason why I work out at home, at least my workout room is clean. Yeah, Aleisa gonna have more time on her self. In a good way. We found a nice appartment at the Pentagon Mall. She can walk to the mall (across the street) the metro is just a 5 min walk. When DH and I came visit her, we can stay over night., instead driving home. They evern have a dentist and a doctor office in the apartment complex.

Kirstin - I wouldn't mind if someone invited us for TG, lol. I wouldn't mind relaxing for once, instead of cooking all day long. Sorry about the stress after all that time off is causing you know. Hang in there.

Lori - how was your run yesterday. How are you little onces doing?

Cookie - what are your plans today?

Not sure, what I will do today? Need to do some cardio/ab workout.

I will be back after my workout. Happy Hump Day, everyone.
 
Morning girls,

I'm off work today (thankgoodness :confused:). I've got a full body weight workout planned. Yesterday I did low impact step.

Belinda- Good job on D16 yesterday. Sorry to hear your DD is moving in januray...im sure that must be hard on you. (((hugs))) And happy belated b-day to your DH.

Deb- Nice workouts - its too bad the cleaning girl at your gym left, that really stinks. Hopefully they will hire someone soon...nothing worst than a dirty gym. I forgot Monday was a holiday too but I found out fast after I drove to the bank:rolleyes:

Cookie-How was bill cosby in person? I like his comedy because he's clean without all the trashy talk that comedians do today. Nice job on your long walk..i love walking, so easy on the joints. What upper body did you do yesterday? I too have to get my yard ready for thanksgiving, but ironically my DD offered to cut the grass for me:eek: shes a sweetie.

Kristin-Nice job getting your workout in while all the craziness goes on. I woke up early on Monday for a workout but facebook sucked all the time up...then I didn't have time after work. Lesson learned LOL. Glad the first part of your root canal went well.

Lori-Nice run, glad to hear the kids are better. We had an epidemic at a local school ( well about a 20min drive from my house) with a really bad stomach virus...200 kids sick in one day. They closed down the school for two days of cleaning:eek:

ok...off to drink a 2nd cup of coffee and get ready for my breakfast:) bbl
 
Hi Girls

Not feeling so hot today. I think I've caught whatever the boys had BUT if this is as bad as it gets, I'll take it. I haven't eaten much all day and I feel pretty good as long as I'm sitting:eek:. Yesterday's workout was GS UB and CM. My whole body is sore!

Belinda ** you do realize that your kids can't live with you forever:p? I'm sure she is looking forward to having her own place but no doubt you will miss her. I'm sure she won't be far though. Oh...my in laws are being very negative. I don't think they even say half of what they feel. They knew what we signed up for but they didn't think we would be moving so far away. It is, what it is. We can't change it. Her latest thing is worrying about us financially b/c our house isn't sold, rent is expensive where we are going, his starting salary isn't that hot and my maternity leave is running out. No doubt she has reasons to be concerned but she shouldn't think for a minute that I am gong to stay here while dh moves away until my house sells. If we are here or there, we still have a mortgage payment and rent. I have a friend who wants to rent my house though so that's a bonus. That's one thing we won't have to worry about. We just need to make the call if we are going to take it off of the market for a couple of months.

Kristin** half way there...that tooth will soon be as good as new! Those root canals are expensive. In my next life I am marrying a dentist! Lol

Deb** I don't know if I would be down with a dirty gym. I also don't think I would enjoy cleaning one. I prefer to run outside, just something about it. Helps me clear my head when I'm irritated!

Ameila** that's a lot of kids sick:eek: I'm sure disinfecting that school was a fun job.

Think Ill warm my coffee and do a little cleaning. Hopefully the queasiness won't come back when I stand up

Lori:)
 
Good afternoon,

Just came back from a walk/run. Went for 35 min. Now my right foot (PF) is killing me, I knew it would happend. Just wanted to see if I still had it in me, since I haven't ran let's say forever, lol. I need to ice my foot tonight.

Lori - please take it easy! Hope you feel better soon. Yeah, you are right about my DD, she can't stay forever with us. It was nice to have her around for awhile. She is very excited. Thank goodness, she is only 1 hour away from us, not to bad. Sorry about your inlaws, they do have to understand you want to be with your husband. Being seperated isn't fun:p. I am sure, everything will work out for your guys. I think it's a great idea renting your house to your friend. Who knows maybe in a few years your family will settle back home again! Good luck with everything. I know it's scary, hang in there.

Waving Hallo to everyone that follows. BBL! Need to stretch.
　
 
Hi,

So I caught Lori & her kids belly ache, all day I felt bloated & didn't eat much. We went out to eat at the diner and I ordered turkey chili (DH thinks I'm crazy:)) but I was so hungry. Well it didn't really matter still feel the same:p

I did walking lunges, firewalkers & threw in some of Cathe's floorwork for a short workout.

Belinda - Ouch on your foot:( but it's really good that your icing it. It sounds like the perfect place for Aleisa, she'll have so much fun & she is still close to you.

Lori - It sounds like your is more like the flu:( hope you feel better. Are you bringing the kids to DH's graduation?

Amelia - I hope you had a great day!!

Kristin - When the boys were little & I missed the dentist for a couple of years I had a lot of cavities & needed to go for cleanings every 4 months. After a couple of years back to normal so it's worth it for you to put in the time now.

Cookie - How's your Mom?

Goodnight:)
 
Good Morning:)

I think I'm over whatever was bothering me yesterday (knock on wood). I feel ok so far. My coffee is going down a lot better then yesterday morning and I'm hungry. Hope that's over with.....

So today's workout will be yesterday's plan, cardio and leaner legs. My UB isn't as sore either. Geez,...I was in rough shape yesterday.

I was talking to dh for a little while before I fell a sleep and he had just gotten off of the phone with his mother. She is still getting on with her same foolishness. I don't know how she thinks she is helping anyone by thinking and saying what she is saying. She's getting on my nerves actually. I'm losing my soft spot for knowing that its not easy on them either. It's like beating a dead horse. Only a couple more weeks and dh can deal with her/them.

Ameila** I forgot to wish you a Happy Birthday yesterday! Hope it was a good one!

Belinda** how is your foot today? Hopefully you didn't over do it and set hourly back. Did the dr say how long it was going to be before you could run again? Or do any impact?

Deb** sorry I gave you my stomach bug:p. hopefully it didn't last long. Both of the boys we sick the 2nd time when I thought they were over it so I'm hoping that I won't feel like crap again tomorrow. But I wasn't sick like them either.

I will bbl to report my workout!

Lori:)
 
Good morning,

I think I over did it yesterday, my foot is killing me today. Oh well! I was icing it last night. I am an idiot:eek:

Debbie - OH No! Must be something in the air, hah? Fell better soon. Aleisa is so excited and like you said, she is only 1 hour away. She will have more time for herself in DC, more for her workouts.. They have an awesome gym.

Lori - glad you feel much better today. Well, I am an idiot for trying to run. What was I thinking? The doc told me low impact, like swimming.

Amelia - hope you had fun yesterday.

Cookie - how are you doing?

Today I have D17 on tap, I may switch to D18 instead. To give my foot a break.

I shall return.
　
 
Hi everyone. Yesterday ended up being an unplanned rest day. I had to get all my grades logged in. . . good news is that is all done :D. I cannot believe we are in teh second quarter already. Today I did CF Low Impact Tabata premix and PLB. My legs will be talking to me tomorrow. Heck, they are talking to me now, lol.

Soo. . . my sister. . . Okay, my brother's fiancee's parents invited all of us, my parents, my family and my sister and her husband and kids to their house for Thanksgiving to kind of bring the families together as the couple is getting married in April. Well, my sister just told my parents today that she is not going. She claimed that she is spending the holiday with her MIL because her MIL is cooking a big meal and wants them all there. I smell a fish! Her MIL NEVER cooks. Her MIL hasn't had a Thanksgiving dinner since I've known my BIL, which is over 12 years now. Every Thanksgiving since the beginning of their relationship has been at my parents' house. . . so why all of a sudden the switcheroo? I told my future SIL not to fret, at least now we know we will have peace and quiet and a GOOD time.

Deb and Lori- oh my goodness. . . I hope you both are feeling better!

Deb- the root canal is feeling okay right now. Just feels a little irritated. Good job getting in a short workout despite feeling icky.

Lori-Hang in there. I know in laws can be irritating at times. Just stay positive and stay focused on your plans. Time is getting closer!

Belinda- I can imagine it must be hard to think of Alesia moving after you just got settled in. I'm sure it will all work out though. One hour away is better than across the Atlantic Ocean, right? I think about my boys and how one day they will leave the nest. I feel as though I might turn into Marie Barone from Everybody Loves Raymond. . . I'll live across the street, lol.

Happy Birthday Amelia!

Waving hello to Cookie!

Kristin
 
'Evening!
Hope all is well. Just finished a conference call for work, and I'm fried.
Belinda, oh you are going to miss your dd, but what a great experience for her. Bet it is fun picking out things and decorating a new apartment.
Amelia, happy birthday! Hope it is a great one. Where did you get your fitbit? I stopped by a sporting goods store but didn't see one. Need new sneakers so will try again tomorrow. What a sweetheart your dd is offering to cut the grass. Here it is frozen already.
Kristin, think you sent the tooth pest fairy over here. Lost a crown on my tooth on Tuesday and had to get it temporarily fixed yesterday. Then I'll have to go back soon for a replacement and then again for a checkup. Good thing I like my dentist. Do you like yours?
Deb, hope you're feeling better. Don't recall ever wanting chili after a stomach bug! The stores seem crowded already. My mom is doing ok right now. Her kidneys are shutting down so she looks so puffy I called her marshmallow.
Still doing my ballet body rotation with Cathe for cardio but took today as a rest day. My dd comes home tomorrow for a week's visit and I'm so excited. I'll host a Thanksgiving dinner on Sunday afternoon for about 15 people. Have my to do list and trying to check things off.
Cookie
 
Hi,

I came home to late tonight to get in a w/o & was so hungry didn't have time to eat & forgot to pack snacks. I stopped for a roasted chicken & it tasted yummy but so would a shoe at that point:eek:

I started Christmas shopping because their are lots of deals starting already, but I'm falling behind on my work:(

Belinda - I hope the icing is working you need to get better for Thanksgiving;) Can you swim anywhere? They have water jogging kits at Bed, Bath & Beyond.

Lori - I feel better today too! I would let DH & MIL workout it out because your not moving for your job it's really for him.

Kristin - It must feel good to have all the grades in:) At least the holiday won't be stressful if your sister goes her own way.

Cookie - How exciting DD is coming home & I'm sure she'll be a big help.

Amelia - Did you have to work on your birthday?

Goodnight:)
 
Good Morning:)

Well my 9:30 cancelled, she has a bad stomach. She likely caught it from me but I won't be telling her that:eek:. So now I'm free until 10:30....free as in, to make the beds, do some laundry, may be start my own workout....may even apply one couple of jobs I saw online last night. I just emailed the military base to see if they had any openings for child care. I really don't know what I'm gonna do with this guy. He's stuck to me like glue. Last night I had everyone here for dinner and he wouldn't go with anyone and when I passed him to them, he cried to break his heart....tears were just flowing. He might actually be worse then ds was and that's saying something.

Yesterday's workout was ctx shoul,bics,tris,abs, 3 mile run, 40/20 and LL. I'm not sore though. I'm not sure what weight I would have to use in order to make my legs sore these days.

Belinda** you know I would have done the same. Actually I wouldn't have made it this long without doing something high impact. I don't listen to my dr very well:eek: He's kind of over cautious so I only listen to half of what he says:D

Kristin** does your sister cause that much commotion everywhere she goes? That's crazy. No wonder you'd rather she not be around. Sounds like she is looking for a way out of the family gathering. It's really to bad you guys aren't closer but I guess you gave up on that a long time ago.

Cookie** you must be so excited about your daughter coming home. I didn't realize that this weekend is the u.s thanksgiving. I use to love it when you thanksgiving was over b/c that's when the Christmas commercials start:D

Deb** I'm ahead of the game to now. I went shopping yesterday and I wrapped some gifts last night. I want to have all of that done before I even go to dh's graduation.

So my in laws were here last night for dinner and we openly talked about the move. They seemed to have dropped their negative thoughts....kind of makes me look like a liar:confused:. There has been a lot of stress around here with the business DH use to own, as of yesterday it looks like the building may be sold and I think that took a lot of stress off of her shoulders. I think that's what was bothering her a lot. We even talked about someone renting this place and so on. It was a good conversation. Hopefully they don't change their tune again.

I will bbl!

Lori:)
 
Good afternoon,
　
Went to the doc with my son this morning. DS broke his toe:confused:. Since DS saw the same doc I did a few weeks ago, I ask the doc about my xrays the other day. I have a bone spur and my L3 +L4 are messed up again. He is sending DS and me to a podiatrist. At least now I know what's causing all that pain in my foot. Today is cardio, can't hardly walk. So I think I will do a barre workout? Not sure yet?


I will be back later to catch up on personals.
 
Hi,

Today was another long day so I was happy I made time to take a yoga class this morning. DH was probably tired of hearing about me not having a turkey that he offered to come with me to get it tonight. This is the 1st time I am cooking a fresh one, usually I get a frozen one but they were too small:confused:

Belinda - I'm not sure what that means about your foot but it sounds serious but it's great that your going to a podiatrist since that is his specialty he should be able to help you.

Lori - You are so organized wrapping already:eek: if I wrapped before Christmas eve my family would think the world was ending;) It seems like things are starting to fall in place with the move & your inlaws. How long is the plane ride, do you have to switch?

Kristin - I was wondering today if you go to the Thanksgiving parade in NY?

Cookie - Enjoy the time with your DD.

Goodnight:)
