Commit to get FIT & Lean for September 2014!

'Evening!
Belinda, that was so sweet of Alexia! She's like her mom. Sounds like everyone got along quite well. Glad you have a good dentist. Hope the pain isn't too bad.
Amelia, good thing you're seeing a specialist. Was there something different in the paint chemicals that caused it. 7 days w/o a break is ludicrous! The eldest ds is still the same. He's so tough to deal with. Another son arrived in Thailand for a two-week vacation w/his gf, and this weekend we're supposed to go visit another ds. So, I'm trying to focus on what's going well w/others, since things don't seem to change with the eldest. Honestly, I don't think he wants things to change.
Jessica, the only time I remember one of my sisters crying was when she was told her braces had to stay on for another 6 months. I agree, sometimes our bodies just need to rest.
Kristin, wow, that's great how the obs went, esp w/that group! Excellent job, and I bet you feel super, as you should.
Wendy, how are you doing? Hope all is well.
Deb, I was looking at today's NYTimes articles on Jeter. They've been writing about him every day. Hard to believe he won't be playing next spring.
Yesterday woke up at 2 am, and was so tired I didn't work out. This morning did HardStrikes. This lack of sleep gets to me and wears me out.
 
Hi,

I finished Great Glutes slide & floorwork tonight. Lots of steps today, DH & I are taking the day off tomorrow to take his Godchild to the zoo before he goes back to FL in October. His grandmother is visiting family in Korea & my SIL (other grandmother) has been watching him & said he will wear us out:eek:

Belinda - Ouch, didn't realize you had an infection, hopefully the meds will work & you don't have to do more work on the tooth.

Amelia - I'm going to go back to the gym in either November or January depending on my work schedule right now I froze it. Crazy how the asthma came back:confused: but TG you have it under control.

Jessica - Wow, that is a longtime but I guess they want to get it right. I'm sure the results will be worth the weight:)

Cookie - It must be so hard not getting enough sleep. Do you ever take catnaps in your car at lunch? It so nice that you are getting to see your DS's.

Waves hi to Kristin & Wendy

Goodnight:)
 
Good morning,

I will do SBF Feel Good Tabata = 25 min + Hip, Back+Back of the Legs+ 10 min. Plus XTrain Back.

Cookie - aww….Aleisa is amazing:) I am almost afraid my dentist has to remove the crown:confused: I still can't bite on that side:roll eyes: Sorry about your sleep. Hope you get a good night sleep tonight.

Debbie - I constantly have a tooth ache:mad: I can't eat on that side, wake up every night with pain:eek: I hope the antibiotic will kick in soon. Have fun at the zoo with your husband and grandchild today.

Jessica - I am glad you feeling better. My orthodontist wants me to get braces next year too:eek: I am 51 Years old:roll eyes: I think I am a little old for braces:confused: My dentist is also does veneers? My dentist does Cosmetic Dentistry:)

Hi to everyone that checks in after me. Happy Hump Day, everyone.
 
Hey girls,

I did 4DS LIS then walked my dog for 35 mins this afternoon. 4DS was fun, I missed seeing Cathe:)

Cookie-Sorry to hear about your eldest DS, So I'm guessing the meds stopped working? I know what you mean about him not wanting to change, my sister refuses to accepted her not-yet-diagnosed disorder..I feel she is bi-polar but more on the depressed side. She is so hard to talk too :( I want to invite her to events and family outing but I don't because she is so unpredictable:( Great job on hard strikes yesterday.

Debbie-How was the zoo today? Great workout yesterday. About the gym,I think thats what I did with my gym account ( froze it). I'm sure once the colder weather gets here I will be wanting to get out of the house and go there.

Jessica- wow, 4:30 am workout sounds inspiring. I have to be at work at 6:30 and thought about it...but haven't had the nerve yet:confused: So far my evening workouts are going pretty good, but I'd rather workout in the morning. Glad your feeling better.

Belinda-Glad you found a dentist you like, that helps a lot. I'm not crazy about my dentist's personality ( she's kinda snooty:eek:) but I don't feel any pain so I keep going back. ^ 5's on your workouts.

Hello to everybody that follows.

ok..I will try and check back in later this week:)
 
Hi Ladies!

Today was All Out HIIT and some time on the treadmill. I got in 8,510 steps. I'm getting closer!

Cookie- Great job with Hardstrikes, that's one of my favs.

Debbie- Awesome workout. Enjoy the zoo!

Belinda- Workin' hard as always!:cool:

Hi to everyone else.

Goodnight.
Jessica
 
Hi,

I did Tri-sets chest, shoulders & tri's tonight & will finish the rest tomorrow. I can't believe how tired I was today but also didn't have any coffee.

We had a lot of fun at the zoo. They have put so much money into it since we went 20 years ago when my kids were little, I think back then they may of had a handful of animals. So many people were commenting how big our Godchild is for his age. I told my SIL wait till his other grandmother takes him back in a few weeks:eek: Even another Asian woman compared her son to him;)

Belinda - I hope your meds work it's crazy how infections get underneath your tooth. Great job with your workouts.

Kristin - Looks like Jeter's last game may be rained out:(

Amelia - If our winter is like last year will look forward to going back to the gym;)

Jessica - The TM helps add steps, always want to get on it when I am low.

Cookie - Do you subscribe to NYT paper or get it online? Someday especially when I'm in FL want to subscribe.

Wendy - Are you busy with your book launching?

Goodnight:)
 
'Morning!
Belinda, today I'm getting a dental implant to replace a tooth that the crown kept falling off and ended up being removed. Hope you get that infection under control, and that you take it "easier" til you're better.
Amelia, great job on getting your workouts in. I would find that challenging to do in the evening with kids and house. Think that's why I got in to doing them in the morning. DS is a major challenge. The only really positive thing I can think of is he makes me feel very humble about parenting! Did you get more comfortable shoes for standing on your feet all day?
Kristin, hope you're sleeping in and resting today.
Jessica, awesome on those steps! Good for you! I get irked that some wo don't register many steps even tho I feel like I worked hard. I'm too lazy to log in activities on the FitBit site. Do you do that?
Wendy, miss you. Hope all is okay.
Deb, going to the zoo with a little one sounds like fun. How old is the godson? I bet he is beautiful and must have loved spending the time w/you and dh. Wish I could nap during lunch but now my office has moved into a bldg in a very rough part of the city, and I won't be hanging out in my car any more.
Took an over the counter natural sleeping tablet the past two nights and what a difference! I get these deep sleeps and feel more clearer in my thinking! Of course, I also overslept the past two mornings! Once dh gets out the door in a few minutes, I'm going downstairs to workout before going for the dental surgery. Have to figure out what I'm going to do now that my plan is out of order and I think tomorrow and possibly Saturday will have to be rest days. Oh, and if I'm up to it, I might go shoe shopping!!!
Cookie
 
Good morning,

Last night DH and I went for an hour walk with the dogs.Today I will do SBF Standing Abs = 15 min and Waist & legs mat = 27 min.

Cookie - good luck today. Hope all goes well. I still have pain, I hope the antibiotics will kick in soon.

Amelia - as long as you don't feel any pain at the dentist. DH and I really like my dentist. It's a father and son team;) Good job on your workouts.

Debbie - glad you had fun at the zoo yesterday. I bought a year pass for parking at the zoo. Reminds me we have to go and us it. Love the DC zoo:)

Jessica - wow and good job on getting your steps in. Keep it up!

Kirstin - must be busy?

I will be back after my workout. Have a great day and workout, everyone.
 
I am done with my workouts.

Cookie - thinking about you. Hope all goes well:)

Waving Hi to everyone that checks in after me. BBL!
 
Hello Ladies!

Okay, posting and then going back to read what you all have been up to. Book promo has been busy and I'm one chapter away from finishing my second hockey book YAY! :)

Last week I got in 4 workouts.

This week so far has been:

M: Body Shop #2
T: MMA Boxing (skipped abs, I was tired and they were sore from Kelly the day before, LOL)
W: Body Shop #3

Insomnia has been spending this week (HA.) But I did get to see all the fab holiday décor items coming this season to the QVC shopping channel...LOL!
 
Kristin-So glad the pop-in went well. I love the idea of that anchor chart, what a great way to get kids involved!

Debbie-I seriously love Great Glutes.

Belinda-Oh your tooth! That all sounds so painful!! Mouth pain is so underrated, it really HURTS! :(

Amelia-How did your appointment regarding your asthma go? (Sorry if I missed that in reading!)

Jessica-Fingers crossed you get those braces off before 30. :)

Cookie-Do you struggle a lot with insomnia? Mine has been really bad this week-workouts have been very meh as I'm fighting my way through them.

:) Wendy
 
Hi,

Tonight I did Tri-sets Upper body Back, bi's & core. We watched the end of the Yankee game & it was nice to see Derek Jeter get a walk off hit to win the game. It is nice to see an athlete that doesn't have so much drama in his life;)

Belinda - The DC zoo is a great one! The dog walk must have been nice, the last 2 sunsets have been so pretty here.

Kristin - Wondering if the boys were interested in the game, maybe too late for them.

Cookie - I hope you are feeling ok after your dental work. You are a real trooper getting in your workout before the appointment. It's good that you were able to get some sleep.

Wendy - It must be a good feeling you are close to finishing the book!

Waves hi to Amelia & Jessica

Goodnight:)
 
Hey girls,

I did SBF LB CARDIO = 20 MIN +UB, LB Compound Target= 17 min.

Cookie - how are you doing? I hope you are not in to much pain. How was the surgery Thursday? Sending you lots of healing vibes.

Debbie - glad the Yankies won! I love the DC soon. It was raining yesterday, no dog walk.

Wendy - Yeah, on the book! You almost done;)

Jessica - I am suppose to get braces next year:rolleyes::eek: I am 51:eek:

Have a great Friday, everyone.
 
Hi guys. So I slacked off for three days. . . no workouts. Between my cold and TOTM, I was wiped out. Today I did MM. The cold is almost gone and I am feeling more energized.

DH had to go away for work yesterday, so it was just me and the boys. Between my period, cold, rainy weather. . . I was just so lethargic. We watched Derek Jeter's last home game and it was so strange, sad, and the uplifting when he hit the winning RBI. I cannot believe he won't be on the Yankees next year. DS was so into the game and he kept calling DH to talk about the game as it was going on.

Today we went to the outlets to go shopping. I wanted to get a new pair of knee boots, but couldn't find anything I liked. I did find some nice tops and ankle boots. Oh and I also got new fall placemats and candles at the Christmas shop. We went with my neighbor and her sister. They are just so awesome. They are both like aunts to my boys.

Deb- no, the boys were up. Well, my younger DS fell asleep. He is not into baseball like my older DS. He stayed up for the whole thing, including the post game interviews.

Wendy- I had insomnia last week. Makes me drag during the day. The worst is trying to convince yourself to go to sleep when you just cannot. Then seeing that it is 4, then 5 and time to get up. Painful!

Cookie- good luck with the dental surgery. I hope it went well. I hate any dental work at all. I know I have to go for a cleaning, but I keep putting it off.

Belinda- not so much busy as sick and cranky and pmsing, lol. I feel better now though. From what I read it sounds like you had a tooth infection? I hope that it is clearing up. That sounds painful.

Jessica- good job on all out and getting in all those steps! I love ALL Out and how you get a Hiit workout without the impact. Wish there were more like it.

Amelia- my sister is diagnosed bipolar and she refuses to take meds. When she was on them a few years ago, we had a good relationship. She went back to being irrational and "picking" at me to get me into arguments with her. I hate inviting her to parties when I am having friends over because she is unpredictable and has caused scenes before. It is hard.

Okay, off to see what the heck my boys are doing on the trampoline. $100 says they are wrestling.

Kristin
 
Hi Ladies!

Nothing for me last night. I was so tired! Friday nights are usually a no go, but I'll see if I can sneak something in. MAYBE!! HA!

Debbie-Jeter was a class act, that is for sure. He will be missed for that reason alone!!

Belinda-I am now 1/2 chapter away from completing the first draft! I have my fingers crossed the publisher will buy it and give it a release in Summer 2015...

Kristin-That situation with your sister must be incredibly hard. The medication is so critical to any kind of normal relationship, and it's impossible to have one without it.

Oh, do I hear you on the insomnia! Last night's awake hours were from 2-5. That's why I think the workout tonight is a big MAYBE!!! HA!!!!

:) Wendy
 
Hi Ladies!

Yesterday was Trisets -LB and today was Bis and Tris. I don't know why, but I'm feeling really weak this week. :eek: Tonight I went down a few pounds on my reps. Not sure what's going on. I'm definitely eating enough. :confused:

Belinda- Do you know how long you'll need to wear the braces for? I'm sure you are not looking forward to it. :p

Cookie- I hope your dental surgery went well and I hope you aren't in too much pain.

Kristin- I understand those days, but the shopping sounds really fun! My coworker keeps talking about baseball, but I've never really been a fan. :eek: She's a Dodger girl, but she was sad to see Derek Jeter go.

Wendy- It seems like everyone I know aside from me and my mom have bouts of insomnia. My DH struggles with it too. I feel for you. Good job getting in what you can, I wouldn't be able to function.

Debbie- Great UB workout !

Hi Amelia!

Happy Friday! :)

Jessica
 
Hey girls, Guess what? After today I'm off Sunday and Monday :eek::eek: Its a pretty big deal to be off two days in a row at my job (unfortunately :eek: )

I plan on getting in double workouts on those days too. A Cathe workout in the morning and my walks in the afternoons. I went over on calories Wednesday and thursday so that should balance the week out. ( TTOTM is approaching and I was craving junk :confused:)

Eating is going well, my next weigh in is Monday. Looking forward to it:)

Somebody asked how my Asthma appointment went? It went well, I was in and out and got all the prescripts I needed. Thank goodness. I starting to fear that my lack of breathing was related to my anxiety :eek:

Ok, I will read over the thread tonight or tomorrow and do personals then. Have a great Day girls
 
Hi Ladies~

I hope you're all enjoying this wonderful Saturday. :cool:
Today was XTrain Cardio Leg blast, it was a lot of fun and had a great sound track. I also got to 11,962 steps today! I spent the morning in shopping. lol

Amelia- Enjoy your two days off! Great job with your workouts and eating!

Jessica
 
Good morning ladies,

The new forum looks so different? I guess, we have to get use to it?
Today is a stretch day.
I will be back with personals.

Have a great day, everyone.
 
'Morning!
Sorry for not posting the past couple of days. Hate to admit but the dental surgery actually affected me more than I thought it would. Doing well now, its only sensitive not sore.
Belinda, didn't know you were getting braces! How do you feel about that?
Amelia glad you got the asthma meds. The weather here is beautiful today, and dh and I are planning on a long walk. Enjoy the two days off.
Kristin, did you have Friday off also for Rosh Hashana. Schools here closed only for Thursday. I need new shoes and boots but don't enjoy shopping for them 'cause I have wide feet. Hope this week is better for you. Sometimes we just need to rest.
Jessica, that's a lot of steps! Was it also a lot of shopping? JK You've been very consistent on getting your workouts in - great for you.
Wendy, almost done with another book?!! I struggle a lot w/insomnia, and it drives me crazy. Sometimes I'll take an otc herbal med, and that will give me 4 hours. The good is that's 4 hours of deep sleep, the bad is it's like coming out of real deep sleep when I wake up. Honestly, there isn't much more in life that I would like than 7 hours of straight sleep. Many nights I repeatedly wake up or else am awake for hours at a time.
Deb, I forgot to mention we get the NYTimes daily at the store. No delivery out here, even for the local paper. We did get it online for a while and that was great, but dh prefers the hard copy. Have you read The Rosie Project? I think you would enjoy it.
Plan on doing turbobarre and a long walk, plus groceries, clean max, and a work project so I better get going.
