Commit to get FIT & LEAN for October!!

[jnka825]

Happy Friday! It was such a beautiful day out! My only complaint is the humidity in my house is killing me, lol. We took out the A/C way too early. It is supposed to die out tomorrow. I didn't feel like working out tonight and I had IMAX 2 on tap. I told myself to do half and if I was up to it, I'd finish. Happy to report that I did the whole thing. I was sweating like crazy with the humidity, but it felt good, lol.

Lori- Wow1 that is awesome that you can push through all of that in one time. Your morning routine will get easier in a few weeks I am sure. DH gets the kids off to school because I have to leave at 6:50-7:00 in the morning. He always is cranky in September, but then after a few weeks he's back to normal. I am glad I do the picking up. It's much easier.

Deb- both DH and DS were thrilled to be there. My only complaint was that it was a school night and they didn't get home from the game until after 11:30 because they stayed to the end and then watched the team celebrate on the field. DS was a cranky, cranky child the next day!

Belinda- High and Tight? That title has me curious.

BB tomorrow!

Good Morning

My mom let me sleep in this morning but I still got up shortly after 7. The baby went to bed last night around 6:50 and was up again before 7. We are going to a pumping patch today with the kids and are going around lunch time and I want to get my workout in before we go. I have no clue what I'm doing cause everything still hurts....besides for my abs so maybe that's what I'll do. Cardio and abs. I'm likely to run outside cause my mom is still here.

So Alberta it is. DH seems excited but I'm not sure if he realizes what it will be like being so far away from our families. We now have to make a list of a few detachments and then they will let us know if there is anything available. I would have thought that they would have given us a list to pick from. At least we have some say in the matter. DH thinks that they may change their minds at any point in time but I can't bank on that. I have to come to the fact that we are moving and that's that. I will probably start getting excited later.

Today is our anniversary...11 yrs I told him I didn't want any flowers, totally waste if money in my eyes. Be different if he had his money and I had mine but it all comes from the same pot! There are other things I could buy with $50. I'm going out to dinner tonight with a few friends to celebrate our anniversary...lol...and I'm guessing he will do the same.

Kristin** no humity here now...it's getting chilly. I had to turn the heat on. Oh well, it was good while it lasted! I can see why you don't workout In the mornings before work. You'd have to get up awful early! You'd be dead by 4 p.m!

The scale is probably the lowest I've seen it since I've had the baby....a even 120. I'm sure it will be back up a little tomorrow after tonight's meal

I might bb later today....depends on how crazy it gets around here

Hi everyone. So glad it is the weekend. I did KPC, but one of the shorter premixes. It clocke din at 53 minutes. We are heading out to a free concert and fireworks show, but it looks like it might rain. We shall see. If we get rained out, we will head over to our friends' house. I have some nice leg/butt DOMs going on this week. I guess between LM, Plyo legs, Imax 2 and then KPC, it is a butt-killer week, lol. Tomorrow I have B&G on tap too, haha.

Lori- Happy anniversary. You can celebrate with DH once he is done. Tim eis flying for me, how about you? I cannot believe we are heading into the second week of October!

Wonder if Cathe will post any pics today of the filming.

Hi,

I did a fluidity workout today. I need to catch up on sleep last night we stopped at a BBQ & went to dinner afterwards. The couple own an italian bakery/deli & their food was so good. We only tasted it but they were really trying to get us to eat so much. They made a pizza with just tomatos & basil with a touch of grated cheese it was so good!

There is a you-tube clip with Cathe & some of the crew members they just completed the 1st DVD found it in the OD forum.

Lori - Not sure where Alberta is will have to look it up. It's great that your going out with your friends for you anniversary. Let's see how you feel tomorrow Sounds like you lost all of your baby weight & more!

Kristin - I think the weather held out for you. We've been alternating between A/C & heat & tomorrow you won't need A/C. Kudos on getting IMAX 2 in with the humidity.

Waves hi to everyone

Goodnight

 

[gidget1978]

Hi Girls....I'm falling a sleep! And it's only 9. Wouldn't be so bad if DS wasnt hopping all over the place!

Yesterday I did a run outside and today was PS UB and 12.5 k outside. It's thanksgiving weekend here so I am stuffed from turkey dinner! Probably why I need a pillow!

Kristin** time isn't going as slowly as I thought it would. I'll be very happy when nov rolls around we will be in the count down then! The 29th of nov we leave here to go to his graduation. I was going to look online tonight for a dress but I don't know if my fingers can scroll

Deb** it wasn't a night out, just dinner. BUT if I had had more then one of those martinis it could have been disastrous! I'd love to have a good time but it's not worth the price the next day.

I will be in the morning!

Lori

 

[DebD]

Hi,

I did Amy Bento Kettlebells w/o, I like kettlebells but always feel it in my back so I feel like I'm too cautious so I don't go for those w/o's too often. The rest of the day I made my monthly sauce & it took too long this time

Lori - Happy Thanksgiving!!! Thanksgiving usually jump starts our Christmas shopping here. Do you do all the fixings like stuffing, potatos & pies like we do in the US? How much time will you have after DH's graduation to move? Yes it wouldn't be fun waking up with a hangover with 2 little ones running around

Waves hi to everyone, hope you had a great weekend!

Goodnight

 

[bayerngirl]

Morning ladies,

Sorry I been MIA this weekend, my computer didn't work. My husband ran some checks, hopefully it's working. Boy it's cold outside:

Looks like you girls got lots of good workouts in this weekend.

Aleisa did the BBL with me on Saturday, I am still sore!

I will be back later. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving & day.

 

[Cookie57]

'Morning!
Belinda, hope you're computer is fine. When technology doesn't work, I get frustrated.
Lori, you'll be disappearing soon if you keep losing weight. Not much time til graduation. When is your moving date?
Kristin, doms are such a mixed blessing. Sounds like a very busy weekend.
Amelia, are you burning out your new fitbit with a lot of steps?
Deb, that pizza sounds good. So does your sauce. Wonder why it took longer this time.
Had reunion weekend and saw some friends that we haven't seen in a while, and probably drank a little too much vino! Yesterday did an ub workout and got in a lot of walking. Today going to do lb and some cardio.
Cookie

 

[gidget1978]

Hi Girls

I had a early start to my day so I should go to bed early tonight cause ya never know! I startedmy workout early and did B&G and after lunch I did a cycle workout by mindy that I hadn't tried yet. It was good. I'm hoping the weather will be nice enough tomorrow for a run outside cause it rained all day today.

Belinda** I had iPad issues on Saturday night and I was really worried that DS had broken his iPad. I never thought to google it until sunday morning and sure enough....I fixed it I don't think we realize how addicted we are to the Internet until its gone

Deb** I previewed some of those kettlebell workouts and they looked very injury prone! Lol. I was just thinking about people who don't have a clue about working out and then they start throwing that weight around! They'd throw their back out for sure! I'm not sure how much time they will give us to move. It's different for everyone. The not knowing is the worst. I need to know exactly how this is going to work!

Cookie** it's always nice to spend time with friends we haven't seen in a while. Add vino to the mix and everyone starts chatting even more! I'm not losing anymore weight...lol...I'm good now!

Bb in the a.m!

Lori

Hi everyone. I had a great weekend, but I skipped a workout on Sunday because I was a tad hungover We have this group of friends that we made through baseball and every time we get together, there is alcohol, which is fine, but this one girl is always filling my glass up and I always end up drinking more than I intended too. Then I eat a whole bunch of crap because I have no self-control, lol. Some women sleep around when they are drunk, I eat. bread, chips and bread, lol. Anyway. . . then I have no energy for a workout the next day because I feel like crap. It's just the girls too. The guys watch t.v. and if they have one or two beers that is really all they drink. I am just going to sip, sip, sip the same glass the next time. This will be my strategy, lol.

Today we went to the Bronx Zoo with Jessica and her kids. They are having a Halloween celebration. They had hay rides, and a costume parade for the kids. It was a lot of fun. We got to see the tigers. . . my favorite exhibit.

When I got home I did CSS Step express premix and GS Chest/Triceps. My pecs are shaking now. I have to pay the bills and then off to bed for me. I am beat.

Lori- Happy Thanksgiving. I am starting to crave turnkey and gravy already with the cold weather coming in. I am soo addicted to the Internet too. Between my iphone, ipad, and laptop I am always online. I tried to experiment this summer and not go on after my morning cup of coffee and I could not make it. What did we do before the Internet?

Cookie you had too much vino, and I had too much Skinnygirl. Still, I bet we had fun

Belinda- hope your Internet is working now. It went from hunid and 70s here on Friday to cold and 50s here Sunday. I had a sweatshirt on at the zoo and I was still cold. I am not turning on my heat just yet though, I refuse!

Deb- I cannot get into Kettlebell workouts. I took a class with my cousin a few years ago and didn't like it. I know in some of Cathe's workouts she has us do some swing movements with a dumbell and I don't really care for those either.

Okay, enough of this. I have to pay the bills.

Kristin

 

[DebD]

Hi,

I took a power hour class at the gym & it was good. I find it so much easier to workout in the morning but it makes me so tired after dinner The other day I bought tomatos at the farmstand & they gave me a bunch of extra's so I made another quick sauce today . . . don't want to look at italian food for a long time!

Belinda - Can't imagine what we did before the internet, we wouldn't be coming to the Cathe site if it wasn't for the internet It is so cold out I would think you stay warmer longer.

Lori - I'm sure for you the not knowing is so hard but since you are so organized it will help you but still try & buy more time I checked out Alberta, is the weather much different there?

Kristin - It's funny that the girls drink more than the guys. When someone keeps filling your drink it's so hard to keep track but I like your plan How is Jessica, does she still do Cathe workouts?

Cookie - Reunions are so much fun. It must be really cold by you. Will you be getting another dog?

Amelia - How are you?

Goodnight

 

[gidget1978]

Good Morning

Wish I was still sleeping.....hate getting up when it's still dark outside.

I still need to check the weather to see if running is a option when DS goes to school. The baby should be ready for a nap by then cause he is up so early. I think I will also do Amy bentos slo mo shoul,bics and tris.

Kristin** lol...that's something I would do...keep filling someone's glass up. Maybe they heard you can get fun when drink. Do you lay low mostly cause your a teacher? I went out with a friend once who is a teacher and she was all concerned about what parents she would see. I can understand that. You don't want to be getting crazy on the dance floor and then see a parent you can just had a parent/teacher interview with. We are playing cards and having drinks here on Saturday night. I'm long forward to it but I'm hoping they won't hang out to long. By midnight I am usually toast! I don't know what we did before the internet, I almost can't remember those days. But I do remember the days when online shopping (for me anyway) was really hard. There was only a handful of sites, like vs and the exchange rate was terrible. Of course it's good now but it's the only site I know that charges duty that seems to be a crazy amount.

Deb** we have a bad rep for our weather but I tell ya...I think it's better then albertas. They had snow the other day! But I guess it depends on what area you live in out there. I think their summers are hotter then ours but their winters are probably a different kind of cold. Sounds like you had a good workout. I like getting my workout over with and getting on with my day. Which reminds me....I have baby group today. I almost forgot.

I looked at the calendar and I can't believe it's the 9th already....I'm not complaining. I'm excited to see nov roll around!

Bbl!

Lori

 

[bayerngirl]

Good morning,

Last night Aleisa and I did Bum Bum, that's all. We went to the National Aqarium in Boltimore than afterwards we ate that a nice seafood restaurant. Had an awesome day. Last night we picked out/bought the paint for the kitchen.

Have you seen the new clips from Cathe's new series?


Today I will do D4 and abs.

Cookie - it's always fun to see some old friends you haven't seen in years. Good for you. I also had a little to much vino this weekend, lol.

Kirstin - glad you had fun at the Zoo w/Jessica and her family. It's in the 50's here too. I am wearing my winter jacket, lol.

Lori - have fun with your run today. How exciting and a little scary about the move. Good luck with the move and a new beginning. Good for you fixing your iPad issues.

Debbie - I am so glad time changed. We have the heater on, it's to cold .

I will be back after my workouts.

Have a great workout and day, everyone.
　

 

[punka274]

Good Morning girls, I'm finally getting a chance to check in.

I still don't have my fitbit yet It was suppose to ship on the 5th and thats the last update I got from usps.com. Maybe because of the holiday yesterday?

The weekend was kinda crazy at work. The bakery manager was out of town so that left me in charge After pulling some cakes out of the freezer I noticed how soft they were then I noticed our freezer was showing a temp of 47degree's and its suppose to be 11 so after calling our dipsh*t assistant store manager (who is only 26yrs old) we had to transfer everything to another freezer way over at the other end of the store!!!!! Then tentions in the bakery were high, people were arguing, and I had about 20 cake orders due out and I was the only decorator thier....Seriously????

The only workouts that I've managed to squeeze in was walking after work. I plan on getting in some weights today and then going for a nice stroll in my favorite park with my favorite walking partner, cassie girl (labmix)

Belinda-I hope your computer is fixed. Have a great workout today.

Lori-I know!!! I can't believe is October 9th either...time is flying these days. Have a nice workout today. How old is your pumpkin now?

Deb-So I take it that you've had a lot of Italian meals lately How do you make your tomato sauce? I've gotten into the habit of making meals then freezing them in indivisual containers.

Kristin-Sounds like your friend is trying to get you drunk, LOL. Good strategy on your next gathering.

Cookie-Sounds like you had a good weekend with friends no word on my new fitbit yet...maybe it will come today.

I will bbl to report my workout.

 

[jnka825]

Hi everyone. Today's workout was STS Plyo legs disc 29 and AC Weights and plates abs. I am really liking my own rotation. I forgot how tough the gym styles are. My chest has major DOMs today.

Not much else to report. I ate crappy food all weekend and my stomach is paying for it today. I am so bloated. I've been drinking water though.

Amelia- this weekend must have been stressful with all that going on at work. It's always when the manager is gone too.

Belinda- sounds likeyou had a nice weekend too. I hate wearing coats/jackets. It has to be snowing or 10 below for me to bust out my coat, lol.

Lori- I lay low when I am around the town I work in. Luckily I live about 40 minutes away so I can be "myself" when I am around my own area. One time I ran into a student at my son's basketball game, and then I felt awkward, lol. One of my favorite restaurants in ten minutes away from my job. I always make sure to just have one or two glasses of wine there. Nothing more, lol.

Deb- I don't think Jessica is doing Cathe workouts lately. I know she still goes to SOulcycle though.

Okay, I gotta go.

BBL
Kristin

 

[Cookie57]

'Evening!
Belinda, I love that aquarium! It is so amazing, and isn't Baltimore's Inner Harbor lovely? There's a place near there with aerial yoga - I almost went last summer but then ran out of time.
Kristin, those never ending glasses. Sort of reminds me of my grandfather whose doctor told him to drink a glass of wine in the evening for his low blood pressure. He had the largest glass I ever saw.
Amelia, sounds like some of the men you work with are challenging. That refrigerator caused a lot of trouble. I'm still thinking of a fit bit.
Lori, bet you want to know things so you can plan them out. I know I would. I've always heard how beautiful Alberta is.
Deb, more sauce?!! Perhaps you should share the wealth. Do you ever make it in a slow cooker? Not sure about another dog. Still have left over ones from my sons - two little ones, and since I don't get home til at least 8 in the evenings, I'm wondering how to train a new one. But I sure do think about dogs a lot!
Rest day today.
Cookie

Hi,

I took a spin class this morning. I'm starting to feel the stress of the holidays at work, some vendors are already setting up Christmas but not in the spots they belong. One of my stores feels that whoever's merchandise shows up 1st gets the first choice but they are supposed to follow the floorplan My merchandise is just shipping so won't be in until I get back from Florida . . . guess I'll be in the back of the store whatever just needed to vent

Belinda - Your day with DD sounds awesome. Do you bring in any plants for the winter? I checked out the BBL master series but it seems expensive for what you get.

Lori - This month is flying by. I've been holding out buying Halloween candy till the last minute I was wondering if Amy is making videos after having the baby

Amelia - That was very stressful with the refrig breaking but it sounds like you handled it well. I mostly make a tomato sauce with chicken pieces & meatballs (cooked in the oven 1st). When I have fresh tomatoes I make a tomato & basil sauce. It's easy but time consuming I use olive oil, onion, garlic, tomato paste, canned tomatoes, oregano, italian seasoning, bay leaf & fresh basil.

Kristin - Your getting really good at making your own rotations

Cookie - I've never tried it in the slow cooker. I guess because while the meat is browning in the oven I'm preparing the sauce part & I let it cook for almost 3 hours on simmer. Your right when they are puppies you need to be around the house a lot.

Goodnight

 

[bayerngirl]

Good morning,

Yesterday I did D4 plus the Ext. Stretch. I also walked my dogs.

Today I will do BBL High & Tight and abs.

Cookie - I agree, the Baltimore's Inner Harbor lovely. We had lunch at the Harper too.


Debbie - nice job with your spin class this morning. Yes, I will bring my plants inside. Need to replant them. Your tomato sauce sounds yummy. Sorry about all the stress at work. How much is the new BBL series? Haven't seen a price yet? Do you have the BBL basic or deluxe?

Kirstin - you really come up with some awesome rotations lately. Hope you write them all down. Sooo......10 below when you but out your coat? Way to cold for me, lol. I am running the heater in the house already. LOL.

Amelia - sorry about all the stress at work. Sounds like you had everything under controll.

Lori - what are your plans today?

Have a wonderful day and workout, everyone.




Have a wonderful day, everyone. BBL>

Hi Girls

Another late check in. Busy day today and tomorrow will be about the same. I had training in the morning and afternoon, went for a 8.5 k run and I had my in laws here for dinner. They are always feeding me, I don't have them here nearly enough...its just to hard with all these kids around.

So here was my day in a nut shell...laugh if you will....baby wakes at 4:30 till 6!!! Falls back to sleep but is up at by 6:58 and head butts me in the nose...I wanted to DIE!! DIE I TELL YOU!! Kids go to school and the baby and I go to the store to get the things I need for dinner. I don't know how I managed this but somehow my bill came to $170!! I barely had anything! I checked the bill over and it right...wanted to DIE again! ( I did have two Christmas gifts there but still...) I go for a run and DD text me to tell me that she failed her bio test, things went very sour when I got home...long story short, she loses her mind at ME...I mean dances, yells, screams and while this is happening Im thinking "are you f'ing kidding me" She is lucky she is still alive. Things are kind of peaceful after lunch, kids go back to school and the girls tell me that Rylan is peeing on the front lawn. So he leaves the house to go outside to pee in front of everyone waiting at the bus stop. Someone shows up to pick something up, baby wakes up, Rylan goes crazy in the babys room (he's not fully awake) baby starts crying, lady is talking, rylan is chasing a wiener dog down the road, the girl brings the dog in so we can see him, then rylan lets Charlie out so he can bark his head off at this dog Everything calms down again...the door comes open again...a girl I use to work with, her hyper 3 yr old and ANOTHER wiener dog..I could keep going but I won't. I just need to go to bed now.

Belinda** My unplanned day was the above..Lol. Im sure you are use to moving, Im sure we will fit in ok where ever we go. Most people stay away from cops though...wouldn't know if we were the bad guys

Ameila** Sounds like you had a interesting day at work! The baby is little over 8 months now. He is attached to me at the hip, its a little crazy but to be expected cause Im with him all day long.

Deb** Christmas stuff already! I saw cards at the store today! Nuts! I didn't know Amy had a baby. I should google that...I like stalking people

Kristin** I love the GS series, they are one of my favs...or they are my favs actually.

Cookie** Alberta is beautiful but it can be expensive to live there. We need to pick a town that's small and inexpensive....that might be hard to find.

Ok....I will try to pop back in the morning!

Lori

 

[Cookie57]

'Evening!
Belinda, I picture you having a lot of plants! Seems to go with a large house, orchard, and land. Do you have a lot of plants? How far are you from Baltimore?
Lori, lol at your day. Sorry, but thankfully it is over. Tomorrow has to be better.
Amelia, how was the drama at work today? I was asked to meet someone last Friday and got stood up. I texted right away asking if we were meeting, no answer and no word until today another email demanding a meeting on Friday and saying I didn't confirm for last week. Well, I did in a phone conversation! Ughh, some folks are just annoying.
Kristin, those Yankees sure are having a good year. My sister is a big fan. I think she is at tonight's game, or it may have been last night.
Deb, I stopped into Sam's Club the other day and Christmas was all over! Just crazy. What do you have to do to get a spot - set up after New Years? Glad you're getting a vacation. Your sauce sounds scrumptious.
Had to take a rest day as I had too much paperwork to get done this morning.
Cookie
