Commit to get FIT & Lean for November!!

Back with personals:

Yesterday DH and I went to a viewing in Arlington. Last week we got the bad news, that a friend (Ret. CSM) of my husband (we knew him from the Army in Germany) passed suddenly away in Afghanistan. He was only 3 day in county, he fell asleep and never woke up! So sad!!!

I never got my workout in yesterday, just couldn't.

I also walked for 45 min with the dogs.

Cookie - I just bought Acics Gel Kayano 19, I got them for $70 off. Just because of the color:D I also wear Ryka cross trainers. I always wear insoles. Can't go without them. What kind do you wear? It was very windy here too. I couldn't sleep.

Debbie - I haven't planned TG yet! You are so good getting things done. Of course, it will be weird having an empty house again.

Kirstin - glad you survived this week. Good for you keeping up with your workouts. How is your dog doing?

Melissa - hope you enjoy your visit with your brother and parents. I love Sushi.
DS's GF thought it was a great workout, she was drenched in sweat. She is a runner. She hung in there, lol! LOL, about your friend....that's a tough workout.

Amelia - good job with your walk today. Walking is a great workout!

Good night, ladies!
 
Hello all. Yesterday I was a bit hung over from Saturday's night out. We had a blast though. I did not get a workout in, but I did manage to walk the dog, lol. Tonight's workout was Supercuts. That workout starts out easy enough and then it builds. By the time the second round of sit outs come I am spent and dripping, lol.

I am presenting my teacher class to the faculty tomorrow to get interested partied locked in, lol. I am a bit nervous about that. I'll be happy when it is over.

anyway. . .

personals.

Amelia- I think it is great if you can keep the part time job and just pocket the money away. How'd the bakery manager taking your return to a different dept?

Cookie- with DH here and the quarter grades over with, I am sure it will be an easier week. Of course, I probably just jinxed myself. Anyway. . . a lot of interesting things going on with backlash to the common core. There were parents keeping kids out of school today as a way of protesting. There was a political cartoon in the newspaper this weekend, depicting Com. King trying to roll out a huge rock circle (common core) only to be blocked by big boulders, teachers and parents, lol. Then Arne Duncan made some kind of comment about white suburban mothers being upset that their children are not as brilliant as they thought they were. I don't know. . . very interesting.

Deb- teaching certainly is changing and the craziness is very stressful. Truth is. .. with all the challenges and the huge classes and demands, I still love being in the classroom. I am still having a better year that two years ago and I feel like I am still making a difference. The politics and testing won't get the best of me. I won't let it.

Melissa- good for you for resting up when you felt the need. I saw Gravity in 3D too. It was amazing and so emotional too. I can't lie, I full-blown wept.

Okay, off to bed!

Kristin
 
Hi,

I took a yoga class today, it was a last minute thing, forgot my hair band & had hair in my face the whole class. I was so tempted to ask around for one LOL:) Again the beauty of home workouts!

Belinda - So sorry to hear about your friend:( it's so sad especially around the holidays.

Kristin - Your smart not to let the testing get to you at some point something has to change.

Amelia - Your power walk sounds good . . . the weather was beautiful here today.

Melissa - It must be crunch time for you this week.

Cookie - Thanksgiving is at my house again this year. Just bought a new tablecloth & turkey baster today:) How about you? The wind was really bad last night here too.

Goodnight:)

Cookie -
 
Hey girls, my eyes popped open at 3am :confused: I did turn in pretty early last night.

Debbie- Great job with your yoga class. Ugh, hate when my hair is in my face during a workout. Im having thanksgiving at my house too - haven't prepared for it yet :confused: I plan on buying some things after work today.

Kristin-I'm sure your presentating will be awesome today. Great job with super cuts..it does build as it goes along, its a toughie. I'm not sure how the Bakery manager feels about me leaving, she never approached me about it? I didn't really expect her too though, she's probably pissed cause I walked out on her. As a matter of fact, nobody in the Bakery is looking/speaking to me. :/

Cookie-How was your workout yesterday? About the second job, it was wishful thinking :eek: There is no way I would be able to work both jobs, have time for the gym and time for my family.

Belinda-A 45 min walk with the dogs sounds like a workout to me :) great job. Sorry to hear about your husbands friend, that is so sad. If I had a choice on how to leave this world - that would be the way. At least he passed peacefully.:)

Melissa- I want to see Gravity, everyone says its really good. Sounds like you had a nice time with your family:) I've also decided to stop counting/logging my calories, it drives me crazy. As long as I eat healthy ( and when im hungry) I lose weight. I think we both know what were doing...we're practically experts at this point. LOL
 
Good morning,

Today is lower body. I have an appointment this morning.

I will be back later to report my workout/personals. Have a great day!
 
Good evening,

Thanks about my husband's friend. It's so sad. With the holiday's coming:( That's tough! My heart goes out to his family.

10 Pounds Slim Down Xtreme Lower Body and 10 Pounds Slim Down Recovery Lower Body is done. BTW, I have a doc appointment in the morning, for my lungs. I am still coughing:eek:

Cookie - how are you doing? How are you liking UY workouts? I almost bought them the other day, had them in my shopping card. I am on a no buying dvds. Let's see how long that's gonna last:p So far, so good!

Amelia - I agree with you...that's the way to leave this world! Too bad we don't get a vote! That's early! Hope you got a nap in this afternoon:eek:

Debbie - good job on that yoga! I can't stand my hair in my face either, I always pull it back.

Kirstin - glad you had a blast on Saturday! Hey, sometimes you have to let your guards down. So glad your testing is over, Yeah!!

I will be back in the morning. Good night.
 
'Evening!
Belinda, I also have Asics and New Balance. Love the Asics - they fit so well. Hmm, wonder how long the no-buying will last. I recommend the UY. Can't believe I'm really enjoying it. Deb can attest I used to think of yoga as just a four-letter-word and that it didn't count as a wo! A few years ago I fell in love with it a Rodadtrip and this set is the bomb.
Amelia, you are so wise to put your family time on top of the priority list. Counting calories gives me anxiety!
Melissa, hang in there - you're almost done.
Kristin, good luck tomorrow. That's some comment by Arne. Don't know how I missed that one. You're so right to not let it get to you.
Deb, having hair in my face when exercising is a huge no-no for me. But that's the benefit of my basement - only me and the dustballs. Going to one of my sister's for Thanksgiving. How many are you having over?
Another yoga dy.
Cookie
 
Hi,

I did Afterburn tonight. Ugh, my belly hurt all day was so stressed at the stores today, Macy's was having a big sale today & it was so busy. Unfortunately tomorrow too! The customers get so mad when I can't ring them up :confused: they don't understand I can't. Tomorrow thinking about wearing jeans so they don't think I work their;)

Belinda - I hope your appointment went ok for your coughing. Could it be allergies?

Kristin - How did your presentation work out?

Amelia - I'll feel better when I have a turkey for some reason I worry about that:confused: I was surprised when I saw that one of the food stores will be open, will your store be?

Cookie - We are having between 8-10 people my Aunt & Uncle are maybe's depending on how they feel. I can't believe I haven't tried UY yet:rolleyes:

Melissa - Hi

Goodnight:)
 
Good morning,

Today I will do 10 Pounds Slim Down Xtreme Lower Body and 10 Pounds Slim Down Recovery Lower Body again and abs.

Cookie - I love the Asics too. They are very compfy and lot's of support. LOL, about the no buying:eek: Me too! Thanksgiving it's just us. I invited our friend from DC, but her daughter is getting her wisdom teeth pulled. Not sure, who else will pop in?

Debbie - thanks you! I been tested for years....I have no allergies what so ever! That cough never went away? Sorry, people at Macy's are stressing you out:confused: That's sad! Funny about the jeans:p

Waving Hi to everyone that follows. I will be back later.
 
'Morning!
Belinda, I am so sorry that I neglected to offer my sympathies re your friend. I am sorry.
Hope you are taking care of yourself.
Deb, wearing jeans might be a good idea. Does it seem as if folks are getting more rude? Not sure what happened to just trying to be nice.
Overslept this morning!!! Woke up a few times but always managed to fall back to sleep right away. Wondering if it is from being overtired or UY? Hoping it is the yoga.
Cookie
 
Hey guys. Yesterday was a rest day. I gave my presentation to the faculty and I have about 12 people interested in taking my class. I am working with the teacher owl center on helping teachers adapt to the common core. Anyway, I am excited that I got that many people interested. I only needed 7.

Today's workout was All Out, floor, step and core 1 premix. I also walked Baxter. I am getting excited for Thanksgiving. I am so happy we get to have it in our new home!

Deb- I hate working out when I don't have all my hair, including bangs, out of my face. You should see what I look like at home, lol. I have clips all over my head to keep the layers from falling out. How was Macy's today?

Cookie- do you have Thanksgiving at your house. I too, often think of yoga as a non-workout. . . that is until I do it, lol.

Amelia- how's the job going? To heck with the bakery people. You moved on to something better :)

Belinda- so sorry to hear about DH's friend. I missed that last post. That is terrible. Could it have been related to stress? My sis-in-law's cousin came back from Iraq last year and he hasn't been the same.

Okay, I am off to shower and bed.

Kristin
 
Hi,

I didn't have time for a workout today, one of the smaller companies I work for added some Kohls stores this month last minute. Ugh, just heard possible snow for Thanksgiving my Mom will freak . . . just told DH I'll just move it to the weekend if it even happens:)

Belinda - My DH loves Asics for running too!

Kristin - That is exciting that you have so many teachers that want to take your class:) They were having a sale buy 1 clearance handbag or wallet get another free so it was crazy but TG that sale is over tomorrow.

Cookie - It's funny because 2 people actually apologized to me maybe they don't mean to be rude just in a rush. I bet the UY is making you tired.

Waves hi to Amelia & Melissa

Goodnight:)
 
Morning girls

Yesterday ended up being a rest day. After work my legs & feet ached so much I took some advil and laid around. I even had my kids rub my feet. :eek:

I have to work again today and I plan on getting in some weight training after work. :)

I will bb this afternoon to report my workout.:)
 
Good morning,

Today I will do cardio and abs. Yesterday I got the flu shot and other Immunizations. The doc said, the cough can take sometimes 2 month.My lungs are clear, that's great. Hopefully the meds will do the trick.

Cookie - Oh, thanks! Honestly I didn't even noticed! It's so sad! I think UY is helping you sleep better. Good for you!

Debbie - yesterday I went to the commissary on base after my appointment, you are right.....the turkey's are smaller this year:) It sure it's cold outside. Snow? Arrrr.....not looking forward to snow.

Amelia - you doing fantastic with your workouts. Keep it up, girl!

Kirstin - that's fantastic!! I am so excited that I you have many people interested. Thanks about my husbands friend. DH and I was thinking the same??? Most guy/ girls have PTSD after coming back home.

The day after Thanksgiving DH and I will go to Antigua for our 30 Anniversary. We will stay for 8 day's. We are staying on one of the Sandals Resorts. I am so excited.

I will be back later.

'Morning!
Belinda, wow that's some anniversary celebration! You and your dh sure do things up. How fabulous.
Amelia, do your feet get more support with your inserts? Sometimes I roll mine around on marbles. Actually keep a layer of them in a plastic shoebox for that purpose!
Kristin, congrats on so many attendees! You did really well. Do you wear a pedometer to track your steps? Between work and the dog you must get a lot.
Melissa, hope your week is going well.
Deb, I do think UY is helping with my sleep. Woke up last night for a while but fell back to sleep and had a nice deep restful one. We're going to one of my sister's for Thanksgiving. Does your mother not like to travel w/snow?
Did a strength yoga last night as soon as I got home, and did another one with long stretches this morning. I am really noticing how much better my sleep is and can't help but think it is linked to yoga.
Okay, better stop sitting in a parking lot and get to work.
Cookie
 
Hey girls,

10 Pounds Slim Down Xtreme Kickboxing = 40 min is done. Still need to work my abs, don't feel like doing them right now.

Cookie - lol, you are sitting in the parking lot :p At first DH booked something in Hawaii, he was gonna surprise me. I think we will do Hawaii in 2 years not on our Anniversary, I didn't wanted to hop from one Island to the next. I didn't wanted the stress:eek: I am excited!

I promise I will work my abs later. BBL!
 
Hi,

I took a yoga class today. It seems like I'm getting in more workouts this year than last but I still need to kick it up notch or 2. I spent too much time searching for some paperwork tonight:(

Belinda - Wow, your anniversary vacation sounds exciting!!! I agree you will be a lot less stressed sticking with one island & be able to relax:)

Amelia - Is the deli busier than the bakery? I'm sure your feet need to get used to standing so much again:)

Cookie - My Mom doesn't really like to drive in snow, rain or darkness . . . doesn't leave much room LOL. She also doesn't want us to drive to her:confused: so we'll see. It's amazing that the yoga is helping you sleep it's a good benefit!

Waves hi to Kristin & Melissa

Goodnight:)
