Commit to get FIT & Lean for November!!

'Morning!
Belinda, I am so happy for you. Not only to have the wonderful upcoming vacation but to have had such a successful relationship.
Amelia, hang in there. How are you feet feeling? Someone was telling me yesterday how great Crocs are. She used to wear Danskos but now loves Crocs b/c they are more fashionable and still comfortable.
Deb, you seem to be getting in lots of workouts! You're right, not many hours of sunshine left for your mom to drive!
Slept great again last night! Of course, drinking two oatmeal stouts might have something to do with that, but it didn't help me in the past. Last night met some friends that we haven't seen in a few months. Have to bring ds to car dealer to get another car, run a couple errands, and then get on that paperwork. Want to get in another yoga wo again today. Honestly, I'm loving sleeping.

Hey guys. I'm here and still alive. I did CF less impact premix. My younger DS insisted on working out with me and stuck with the entire workout, lol. He did pretty well. I gave him little one pounders and paper plates. When we started the stretch he said, "Wow, that was a tough workout." Lol.

Today's workout was my third workout this week. I've gained about 8 pounds since the start of school and I now that I have looked back at the calendar a few months in the Workout Manager it is clear to see why. I have not had a consistent 6 workout week since the summer :(. Sure, I have been walking Baxter at least once, if not twice, a day, but that is nothing compared to what I am used to doing. Then I dread doing the workouts lately :(.

I don't know what is wrong with me. Well, I do. Things have been crazy since school started, but I have to get back into the swing of things and keep my commitment to my fitness.

I've never worked out in the mornings, and in order to do so, I'd have to get up at 4:45, not sure I could even make it down the stairs that early, but something has to give. Maybe I'll try it this week. I don't know.

So sorry I have been on and off here. Working out and logging in is something I plan to do every day, but just haven't been able to do it consistently lately. I've gotta change that.

Belinda- what a way to spend an anniversary! That is wonderful. I bet you're so excited and packing. Enjoy! I have friends that went to Hawaii. They loved it, but the plane ride is not something I think I could do. I would be on the news, lol.

Amelia- will you be off for Thanksgiving this year? So many stores are opening at around 7, even 5. It is a disgrace.

Cookie- I'm not sure I will make it to June, lol. My two DSs are off Wednesday, but my district is open :(. I am so jealous of them right now.

Deb- your mom's driving preferences sound a lot like my own, lol. I hate to drive at night, although I do it when I have to, and I hate, hate, hate driving in even flurries, lol.

Okay, putting the boys to bed and then shower.

Hi,

I didn't get a workout in today, too busy getting ready for Thanksgiving:( I also feel like I'm coming down with something so hoping a good night sleep will do the trick.

Belinda - I have slim in 6 buried somewhere remembered how I liked that one:) One of my New Year's resolutions is to clean out my DVDs like you did.

Kristin - I hear you the lack of workouts are taking it's toll on my weight, ugh! Just trying to take one day at a time:)

Cookie - The beers sound healthy if they have oatmeal in them;) You know what they say more sleep = beauty!

Amelia - The food store was so crowded today! Our deli counter has a computer system that you can put your order in, I think it is great.

Melissa - I love the Nature's Box, I thought you said you customize yours . . . how do you do that?

Goodnight:)
 
Morning girls, Im up early to get my coffee in before work.

My last workout was Friday, I plan on getting in the dvd 4 fast miles after work today.

Debbie-I think the only time our store closes is on Christmas. We do close earlier on Thanksgiving though. Have a great workout today.

Kristin- I completely understand where your coming from. You'll get back on track with your workouts. I haven't been passionate about my workouts in a very long time...its really getting to me. I used to look forward to my workouts and for some reason they are becoming a huge dread factor now. I just have to change the way I look at them. I'm hoping a new gym membership will help. I also plan on getting a bicycle in the next few weeks to help motivate some movement.

Cookie-Have a great yoga workout today! Glad to hear your getting some sleep. I've been having a hard time sleeping lately, I have to take melatonin to help and even then im waking up before the alarm. Its frustrating:confused: The feet are doing a bit better. Once we get the holiday shopping over with I plan on getting me some new sneakers...its over due for some.

Belinda-You are rocking those workouts girl! High fives. How are you feeling lately? So excited for you on your upcoming vacation :) you deserve it girl!!

Melissa-Hows everything going girl? Hope all is well :)

So like I was telling Kristin earlier, I've lost my motivation for workouts. I really miss them. :( My plan is to get a gym membership at that bigger gym about ten minutes down the road ( not the gym I was going too) and to start riding a bike on prettier days. There is a bike trail not too far from me and a nice park where I can ride right down the road. I've got to get my passion back for exercise...lately its been hard with my depression. ( yep, its back a little bit :() I'm thinking about going to the doctor for something but im scared of gaining more weight...sigh

Anyways, off to get ready for work :) Have a great Sunday!
 
Good morning,

Today I will do Xtreme Core and Recovery LB. Tomorrow I finish the 10 Pounds Slim Down Xtreme rotation with Xtreme KB. I am one day behind. Not sure, what I will do after that?

Cookie - glad you getting lots of good sleep. I need to do yoga before bedtime, maybe I get better sleep:eek:

Debbie - I haven't started sorting out my dads. What other Beachbody sets do you have? Hope you are not coming down with something.

Kirstin - how cute your son worked out with you. Good for him. I hear you on long fights. Had to laugh about your comment about your would be on the news.

Amelia - sorry about your depression! Hope you get some help and get your motivation for exercising back (((HUGS)) Just do what feels right for the day…take a nice walk outside or play with your kids. You may enjoy group exercises at the new gym?? Who knows?

I will be back later. Have a great day and sunday.
 
'Morning!
Belinda, you must be all pins and needles with excitement! I sure would be. Are you taking workouts with you?
Amelia, my ds suffers greatly w/depression. Its a terrible illness. Do what you can. Whatever you do is still a lot more than most other folks ever do.
Melissa, hope all is well.
Kristin, if I don't get my wo done in the morning, it most likely will never get done. Since I like a cup of coffee to wake up with, I allow a few extra minutes for that before working out. Cute story of you and your ds working out together.
Deb, hope you're feeling alright. There are a lot of colds going around. Felt like I was surrounded by coughing on Friday. DD came home with a cold and ds has one as well. I sure do not want one.
DS woke me up in middle of night. Then made it back to sleep, only to have dh wake me up! They have been warned to let me sleep tonight or ....! Did AOS Providence to really help tire me out and will get in some mountain poses later. Its freezing here, so not sure if the dogs will get their walk. DD came home last night for the week, so plan to get some housework done before she decided if she wants to do anything special today.
Cookie
 
Hey guys. I did CLB today in its entirety. Wow, that one is tough. As hard as it is though, it is fun, I think because of the music. I love when we get to the step cardio portion and Katy Perry's Wide Awake (redone of course) comes on.

Anyway, my brother picked up my boys to play his new Xbox1,and DH and I are going shopping for Thanksgiving supplies. My mom is coming with us too. Not sure what we will do for dinner. I am thinking spaghetti that is what I am in the mood for, anyway.

Belinda- I took your advice a few weeks ago and bought some of those cabinet liners, the rubbery ones, for my step and it works perfectly. Thanks for the suggestion. No slipping at all today.

Deb- at this point all we can do is the best we can every day. I think for December, unless Cather comes out with some kind of awesome rotation, I will wing in and then make up goals for January. I am asking for a lot of the new workouts for Christmas.

Cookie- I might get the courage to try working out in the a.m. it I shard though, especially now that is cold in the morning and my bed is so warm, lol. Plus, I am by no means a "morning person."

Amelia- acknowledging your depression is the first step to making it better, so kudos to you for knowing and admitting it. I'm sorry you are going through this. We are here for you. Maybe working one job is the way to go. That way you can focus on things that make you happy and content, like working out :)

Okay, off to pick up my mom.

Waving hello to Melissa. Sorry I think I skipped you yesterday. Is it midterms week for you?

Kristin
 
Hey girls,

4 fast miles by Leslie Sansone done, yay :) I was hoping to get it in after work.

Thank you everyone for your kind words. My depression comes and goes, right now it seems to be hanging around a lot more. I wonder if its the weight gain that I have recently put on?

I will bb in the morning with personals. Gotta go get supper ready, im making chicken burritos out of a rotisserie chicken ;) its a short cut I use a lot. LOL

Have a great Sunday:)
 
Good afternoon,

10 Pounds Slim Down Xtreme Core and Recovery Lower Body is done!

Cookie - I am so excited:D Few more day's….can't wait! Haven't decided if I bring workout dvd's? The hotel has a gym:) I am looking forward to relax and have some fun. Hope your kids feel better soon. Do you get the flu shot? I just got mine a few day's ago.

Kirstin - good job on CLB today. Glad those cabinet liners are working for you!

Amelia - good job on your 4miler today. Keep it up!

Enjoy your Sunday, everyone. It sure is cold outside, I pass on walking the dogs today:p
 
Hi,

I did 1/2 of afterburn today & 1/2 of a UY cardio yoga. UY is very close to the classes I take both regular & hot so it was a nice surprise. Ouch, cleaning some furniture & banged my head hard and have a bump but my hair covers it:confused:

I'm feeling better today so hopefully I dodged the germs:) It was so coldddd today:(

Belinda - I didn't realize your trip was so close . . . exciting!! You'll be back just in time for the holidays:)

Kristin - One of my DSs is thinking about a gaming system. I didn't realize what a big market their is for older people. You will have fun in January with new workouts from Santa!

Amelia - The good thing about the gym (at least for me) is it forces me to go or I feel like I am wasting money. If you decide on the meds maybe they can start you with the lowest dosage.

Cookie - Everyone must have been jealous that you were sleeping so well;) I could imagine just how cold it was by you.

Melissa - Hi

Goodnight:)
Cookie -
 
Morning ladies,

Today is kickboxing. Than I am finished with the 10 Pound Slim Down rotation. Loved the rotation. I will definatly do it again.

Debbie - wtg on 1/2 of afterburn & 1/2 of a UY cardio yoga last night. UY is on sale again at Amazon, maybe I need to order it:p I am trying so hard not to buy anymore workout dvd's.

Waving Hallo to the rest of the gang.
 
ack to report my workout:

I am finished with the 10 Pounds Slim Down Xtreme rotation:eek: Love, love, loved it!

Need to get my house clean. I will see you all in the morning.
 
Hi,

I took a yoga class today at the gym. The yoga instructor (my neighbor) asked me to dog sit her Golden Retriever for the Thanksgiving weekend it should be interesting she is just under a year old.

Belinda - Perfect timing to do that rotation right before vacation:) Did the nor'easter rainstorm hit you yet? Stay safe.

Waves hi to everyone

Goodnight:)
 
'Morning! Sorry for not checking in yesterday.
Belinda, so what is 10 lbs slimdown? Was it effective? Are you almost packed?
Deb, a golden! You know I love them. Is Lucy also still with you? You may have a hectic weekend.
Waves hi to every one else.
Sunday did AOS Providence. Hadn't done it in a while. Now back to yoga again. Think I'm going to keep trying to do yoga everyday for a while to see how I'm responding. So far, my sleep is definitely better. Well, except for Sunday evening when I had to finish a project and only had a few hours sleep. And I think the green tea I was drinking had more caffeine than I realized.
Snow here this morning, but at least the temperature is higher than yesterday's 9 degrees.
Cookie
 
Good morning,

Not sure, what I will do today? Too early to think about it:D

Cookie - I need to start doing more yoga in the evening. Glad it's helping you with your sleep. Snow? Arrrr…….not looking forward to it. !0 Pounds Slim down is very effective, IMO! I lost a lot of inches, haven't wait in yet. I love the definition in my abs from the rotation. Like I said, I will do the rotation again.

Debbie - a 1 year old Golden, have fun! They are lot of fun! No rain yet.

Need more coffee, than I will figure out what I will do?


Have a great day/workout everyone. BBL!
 
Hey guys. Well yesterday was an unexpected rest day. I had a bit too much stress to handle. My DH went to my other house to get something out of the garage (kiddie table for Thanksgiving). The tenant told him she was thinking of breaking the lease because she is never home and her son, a 9th grader, is home alone a lot. Her family in Nassau County offered to have her stay in their house, one room for her and her son. So DH tells me and of course, I begin to panic. My friend gave me her realtor's number and I emailed her and then called my attorney. My lease states the tenant is responsible for the rent until we can get a tenant in there. DH texted the tenant today to say we would be willing to work with her but we need to know when she wants to leave so we can have our realtor set everything up. He told her about the lease and that we would like it so that no one loses money, she isn't paying rent after leaving and we are not left having to take her to court. Anyway. . . she then texts back that she wanted to talk to her "husband" aka, the man who supports her and her son, and that she was thinking of having her sister move in and would we mind. If her sister moved in, her son would not be alone all the time. DH said we didn't have a problem with that. . . so now she is going to talk to her "husband" about it and get back to us at the end of the week. WTH? I was sick to my stomach over it but today I felt better. Everything always works out so why stress. Even if we rented it out for less money, we would be okay, so why fret? Right?

It is in the back of my mind though. .. why did she bring it up and then take it back sort of? Weird. What are your thoughts? I could use opinions. I hate it when I overanalyze things.

Deb- the older market for video games is due to the fact that they are the first generation of real gamers, when the graphics got better and the games more "realistic." My brother grew up with Nintendo and Sega. His friends did as well. They all still play, although not to the extent of my brother, Peter Pan.

Cookie- another Common Core Forum is going on tonight here on LI. More and more parents are getting upset. My younger DS in kindergarten is failing math. He has taken three MULTIPLE choice tests in KINDERGARTEN and has not passed one. He asked me when I looked at the test, "Did I do good, mommy." I couldn't tell him the truth. I lied. I think this is ridiculous. I'm thinking of private school as an option. Isn't that horrible. Not even sure I could swing it.

Amelia- awesome job.

Belinda- so sorry to hear about your brother-in-law. I will say a prayer for him. That is so scary. How is he now? Is he alert?

BBL
Kristin
 
Hi,

I was real busy today and didn't get a workout in, but I have major DOMS in my legs & butt it must be Afterburn. The traffic was crazy today, I passed 4 accidents throughout the day or should I say crawled by. I misplaced DH's credit card put it in my regular bag instead of my work bag:confused: This time of year I lose my mind:eek:

Belinda - My prayers are with your BIL & your family. Does he live close by? I'll have to check out that rotation too, sounds like you had great results.

Kristin - Could it be the renter was afraid you wouldn't allow her sister to move in so she said she would need to move:confused: just a thought. It's funny because just saw a commercial for XBOX1 & it was 30+ couple no children in sight:)

Amelia - I love UB MM maybe I can get it in this weekend thanks for the reminder)

Cookie - Lucy was here mostly weekends now she is here almost all week too! It's funny I just assumed all green tea had the same amount of caffeine. The Yogi brand has a few different green teas all with different caffeine amounts:confused:

Goodnight:)
