Commit to get fit & lean for September!!

Good Morning:)

Up way to early. What do people do who don't drink coffee??? I don't think I'd survive. I need a good kick in the rear when the baby wakes up some early. But I could have it worse. I figured while DH was away I was gonna be up in the night time while the baby was cutting his teeth and so far that's never happened. I must go into a pretty deep sleep when I go to sleep cause I don't know how I last all day without getting tired.

Yesterday I did PUB shoul,bic,tris and abs, 15 mins on the tm and then I tried one of my new workouts. It was Mindys tabata with toys. It was fun! It's broken up into 18 segments, each one being 4 mins cause it's tabata. Some were tougher then others. She mixes it up with lots of different equipment. The only thing she didn't use was the step, at least I finally got to use the bosu ball!

Belinda** lol...yeah my mom could help you with your yard sale. If I have one it's just as well we wait until we are getting ready to move. We have 3 living rooms in this house...not to many houses need 3 sets of couches...so I have a feeling we will be selling some stuff off.

Kristin** I would say your eating is off b/c you are tired. When I worked and didn't get much sleep I would be starving all day. I would normally pick at simple carbs though. Things that were easy to grab and full of sugar. I think my body was looking for something to help stay awake! Yard sells brings out all the weirdos..."this is a dollar, can I have it for 50 cents". I feel like saying "just take it and leave" lol

Deb** this chicky won't be running with any dogs in the stroller. I think people would think I had finally lost it. Imagine how much you must love your dogs? Most people would love to go to the mall kid free for some time to themselves and then you have people who just want to take dogs b/c they love them so much:confused:. I dunno....

I'm not sure what workout I will do today. DS has a bday at 12 and gymnastics at 2...im not sure if I will get to the party but I think b/c I'm up so early I will be getting my workout in early. I'm leaning towards AB and a run or a run and legs.

Lori:)
 
How's everyone?
Belinda, think I've confessed I'm far too lazy to do a garage sale. I bundle everything up and donate it to Salvation Army. I even have to put them in the car right away, since just having them hang around seems like more clutter to me. How was window shopping?
Kristin, I think September is exhausting, and I always want to eat more when I'm hungry. Lol at your last acronym being included yesterday.
Amelia, how's your pf doing?
Lori, I don't know how you make it thru the day w/o a nap. You have to be a deep sleeper for your body to have a slight chance to recover. I just counted we have six couches!
Deb, do you ever want to go to the mall on your own time? Just wondering if being at them for work dispells personal motivation. I can see Lori running with a dog stroller. It would be easier with that dog who was driving her crazy to just push him.
Have no energy and a wicked sinus infection. Was supposed to go to a surprise birthday party for my sister but I can't imagine leaving the house, let alone listening to any loud sounds.

Hi,

Today I did GS B,S,Bi's. It was a beautiful day here today we even ate lunch on our deck. I finally downloaded some workouts I bought awhile ago didn't realize how long it takes.

Lori - I don't know how you make it without taking a nap. Really weird but when I went to run an errand today I saw another stroller with a dog in it!! Have you started training anyone yet?

Cookie - Wow, 6 couches we have 4 (couch & loveseat) but mostly just use 1:confused: I hope your sinus infection clears up:(

Waves hi to Belinda, Kristin & Amelia

Goodnight:)
 
Good Morning

Another early rise. I think my mom may be coming this week for a couple of days so I should get to sleep in at some point in time....I can only hope.

Yesterday I took DS to gymnastics, which I think he enjoyed. Its only once a week. To tell you the truth, I don't think he enjoys anything that's organized. He just likes to run around like a mad man and do his own thing. I asked him if he liked it and he said "yes"....asked him if he w going back and he said "no". But it's not until next Saturday. He might think its today again. He has no concept in anything beyond yesterday and tomorrow.

So DH feels prepared for his exam and his drive he needs to redo. I'm not sure if I told you about his drive he received a "U" in (unexceptable). He ended up going through a construction site that's not normally there, blowing a stop sign that had a car parked in front of it. So he has his exam at 8 and his drive at 11. Tomorrow is a big day....

I'm not sure what workout I will do today. I should probably take a rest day but I'm up so early that! I need to fill my day with at least 2 hours of something. DS has a birthday party from 12-2. I'm hoping to take him but if the baby is napping then she offered to pick him up. Either way, he will get to go..

I feel a little sore from the past two workouts. I'm sore in my upper abs and hammies from tabata and I know I did AB yesterday too.

Cookie** I think I am a deep sleeper. When I wake to check the time, im always amazed that it's later then it is. I think I woke shortly after 4 and then the baby woke just before 6. That's his normal time, no matter what time he went to bed. I then nurse him in the bed and hope he goes back to sleep. The last two mornings it hasn't worked in my favor:confused:

Deb** that's funny. Maybe we are out of the loop! Walking your dog in s stroller is the coolest trend! Lol I'll pass on that one! I actually start back training someone tomorrow afternoon. There was another girl that was suppose to start but she is having some kind of surgery done. No doubt if I put it out there I would be busy but I can only really handle a few and I'll let them come to me. Chances are if they want a pt, they will work around my schedule.

One of DH troop member has his house sold and it's conditional. I'm thinking we should do the same. We could list it and if we sell it, it will be on a conditional basis. I will wait and see how monday goes before I make that descision!

Bbl!

Morning girls,

Thought I'd check in before work. My back isn't any better so I have no workouts to report:( its the left lower lumbar region of my back that hurts. I may have to go to the doctor about it :rolleyes: but really all he does is give me those pain meds that knock me out or make me feel weird but the pain does go away. sigh...anyway

thats what I've been doing the past three days. That and eating very badly:confused:

I've got to get ready for work. I will catch up with personals tonight. Hope everyone is doing well.:)
 
Workout done. I did HR abs, cyclemax and the standing work in LBB. My legs were burning. If I'm not sore tomorrow morning then there is no hope for me!

Ameila** your back is still bad? Ugh! Does being at work bother it? Not that it's an option to stay home I'm sure. It funny how eating and working out go hand in hand. I think we all eat worse when we don't workout. Maybe that's why I always workout!:eek:

Lori:)
 
Hi ladies. Yesterday was a rest day because I just didn't feel like working out at all. I spent the day outside with the boys and graded essays (first assignment of the year) on the patio. Today I just finished 4 DS KB. This week I am doing all 4DS. Now I need to get ready for a BBQ at a friend's house. I am so glad we have this four day weekend because I slept I the last two days and it feels so great to be well rested. DH is going away next week, and I know I need the rest now if I am going to survive.

Deb- it was a beautiful day yesterday and today. E sun is out but there is no humidity and no need to turn on the a/c. My electric bill nearly gave me a heart attack when I opened it a few days ago. My house gets really hot really fast. I think because it is so small, lol. Madonna is in AC huh? That's funny because my parents were there yesterday.

Lori- I am keeping my fingers crossed for you to get good news tomorrow. I'm sure he will do just one. It must be a lot of pressure though. Your workouts are killer. Did you do all of HR, CM and LBB? Ahhhhh :eek: I could ever, lol. You put me to shame.

Cookie- you liked the last acronym, huh? It is always on the tip of my ongue at faculty meetings these days. Hahaha.

Belinda- did you stick to window shopping or did you buy something? I can ever it buy something when I'm at the mall, lol.

Amelia- hope your back feels better soon! (((((hugs)))))

Kristin
 
Just enjoying some quiet time. The baby is napping and I'm enjoying my coffee:). DS had fun at the birthday party. There were a lot of kids there but the house is big so it wasn't that nuts.

Kristin** how come you have a four day weekend? Oh your hubby is going away for a few days...his terrible:rolleyes:. I use yo hate it when DH would go away or one night. That's gonna seem like a walk in the park now! I didn't do all of hr:eek:...just the abs! I'm not that crazy!

Why are people such idiots!? When I was at the party I had a tart like thing, filled with some kind of caramel something or another. I don't eat hot dogs and Im not a burger fan, plus I didn't want to ruin my dinner. So I was picking at some fruit. One mother says " look at you being a good girl". I said " well I already had one of those cookies and I might have another". She said " I guess your going to have to run 20 km now to burn that off". I could have took her hot dig and jammed in her big mouth. God forbid you exercise b/c you enjoy it. People think the only purpose is to lose weight. Idiots! That's my rant...

Lori:)
 
'Evening!
Belinda, what are you up to today? Did you get stuck with the boxes in your garage?
Amelia, I've been thinking about you and your back. Did you ever try one of those heat patches? Hope you're doing better.
Lori, I'm also have my fingers and toes crossed for good news tomorrow. It must be very stressful. Re your rant: folks are just idiots. They have no idea what to say so they blab any thought that passes thru their head. Plus, I'm sure she's jealous of you.
Deb, was today a sauce-making day? I was telling my dh about the dog strollers b/c I need one! Yesterday we ended up going for a 3.5 mile walk, and they struggled with the last mile. Today we went for a 10 mile one with out any dogs.
Feel so much better than yesterday. Just finished a yoga workout and now I feel all righteous.
Cookie
 
Hi,

I'm so used to taking Sundays as a rest day & had so much to do today that I forgot to workout:eek::confused::eek: I remembered when we were eating dinner. DH works out like Lori & was probably thinking how can you forget:) Well at least I was moving most of the day.

Lori - Good luck to your DH & I'm sure you'll be so nervous for him. Too funny about that girl's comment there are a lot of people out there like that too! Cookie's right she may be jealous that you can have dessert.

Amelia - Take it easy & be careful with your back.

Kristin - I think around here they only get 1 day off for the holiday but my boss told me that it's a really important holiday like Christmas is for us. There weren't too many days when we didn't use the air so can just imagine what the bill's will be like.

Cookie - When dog's are young they will walk forever but once they are older that changes. You did a lot of walking this weekend. Are the leaves turning by you yet?

Belinda - Are you still cleaning out the garage? I quickly did a search of you-tube workouts & couldn't believe how many there were:eek:

Goodnight:)
 
Good Morning:)

I went to bed earlier last night:). DH was busy and he will be most of the week so I'm going to start going to bed earlier. Most of the time I stay up late to talk to him...I'll do both of us a favor and go do bed early:D

Today I start re training one of the ladies I use to train a while ago. She's a bit of work, more mentality then anything else. She is going to be here at 2 so I am going to get my workout in this morning. Im leaning towards GS chest and tris...and I dont know what else. I may continue on with the GS's or I may do cardio.

Deb** forget to workout? That's like forgetting to breath!;) Sunday's use to be my rest day when we were younger and we drank every Saturday night..lol. It would probably be my day to eat junk food too. DH asked me last night if I had been out since he left. He was surprised that I havent. Im out of that stage of my life and haven't been in the mood. My biggest issue is dealing with two kids the next day. I haven't really drank since before I was pregnant and he's almost 8 months old:eek:. I think it would be a terrible hangover! Ha!

Cookie** I think it's def jealousy but not b/c of how I look or anything like that. I think it's more discipline related. A lot of people don't have the discipline to do what we do every day...but that ain't my fault. Last I heard her and h husband were having troubles and it had something to do with someone she was spending to much time with at the gym. Maybe she isn't allowed to go to the gym anymore!

I will bbl to report my workout and hopefully report DH passing his exam! I think he will be fine and he's confident...its just the waiting!

Lori:)
 
Morning girls,

I'm closing tonight so I have all morning to get in a workout. My back is feeling a lot better but I don't want to over do it so I'm thinking a walk + yoga.

Anyone heard of a FitBit ? I'm going to buy one on my next paycheck Wednesday for motivation...for those who have never heard of it - its like a HRM and Body Bug all in one. You wear it 24/7 and it monitors sleep patterns, calories burned, steps taken, stairs climbed and tons of other stats. I also recently discovered that the calorie logging site that I use (myfitnesspal.com) has free tools to sync all this information and it will determine how many calories I need for that particular day. I can't wait to try it :eek:

Belinda- I see your still enjoying your rotation. Whats on tabs for today?

Lori-LOL at your response to that girls comment. I know what you mean. Good luck to your DH!! My back does bother me a little at work with me being on my feet all day. I plan on getting some inserts for my shoes soon ( haven't done that yet :rolleyes:) and no...its not an option for me to stay at home, i tried that before and almost lost my mind:eek:

Deb-I hate when that happens, forgetting to workout. Todays another day....whats on tabs for today?

Cookie-Glad you enjoyed your yoga workout...i never tried a heat patch, i've been using one of those cold/hot freezer packs for it (when I think about it that is:confused:)

Kristin-Sounds like you had a nice rested weekend. Thanks for the hugs

ok...Im gonna get my day started. bbl

Morning girls,

We had a realzxing weekend. Yesterday I rested all day long. Didn't do anything, layed in the sun. LOL.

Today I am starting Brazil Butt Lift Week 2 and the Butt Bible Week 3 L2. I will do Brazil Butt Lift Scuplt (full body).

Cookie - I usually donate all my stuff too. There is a community garage sale next week, otherwise I would have donated everything. Hope you feel better.

Lori - good luck on your DH's exam. Well done on your workouts. I agree, folks are idiots.

Amelia - glad your back is starting to feel better. Have fun with your workout today.

Kirstin - hope you had fun at the BBQ this weekend.

Debbie - isn't crazy how many great workouts are on youtube? Forgetting a workout? Hate when that happends.

I will be back later tonight. Today gonna be busy, sorry.
 
Hey Girls

I'm done with half of my workout. I did the GS minus back again. I will run with the baby after I train this afternoon. It's pretty windy out though and I'm hoping it's not to windy for him. If it is, I may leave him home with DD if she comes home after school. She might have vball tryouts again.

Ameila** fitbit sounds interesting. Is it expensive? Happy to hear you are feeling better. By mid week you will probably be as good as new!

Belinda** so where are these before pics of your bum bum?:p you should post them on fb! Lol

DH feels good about the exam. He text me and said he is looking forward to getting it over with. He starts in 30 mins or so and it will take about 2 hours. He should be done mid afternoon my time. I will let you gals know right away. If I'm not around...it's not a good sign.

Lori:)
 
Hey girls,

Did my workout right after posted, lol. Just getting around to post it.

Lori - funny girl!! I will take pic this week. Glad your DH feels good about the exam.

Amelia - good job this morning.

I will be back later.
 
Evening!
Belinda, did you finish the Great Clean Out? That's probably why you were resting.
Amelia, I was thinking of getting one of them on Saturday. Only then my dh reminded me of tuition being due again the beginning of November! Let me know what you think of it. The Nike Fuel had a lot of negative reviews but not FitBit. How's your back?
Kristin, are you relaxing and enjoying the day?
Lori, best of luck to your dh. How did it go training the lady?
Deb, if I don't wo in the morning, it is so easy on the weekend for me to get too busy and not get it in.
Did a 7 mile walk w/dh today. Poor guy he was dragging - it was pretty warm out, but he was claiming empathy for the dogs. Moved lots of boxes and furniture around. Felt my lower back talking to me when I moved a heavy one of books. Hope its gone in the morning.
Cookie
 
Hi,

Really busy at work this week. My boss is coming in from Florida tomorrow & we're going to do prototype set-ups in Jersey City hopefully we will get done in a couple of days so I can get my other work done.

Lori - Worried that you didn't come back to let us know still keeping my fingers crossed. Would he get another chance if he needs it? The holiday that Kristin has off for is the Jewish New Year & it's very religious.

Amelia - The bodybug was similar w/o the heart rate monitor. I found it interesting & learned on the weekends didn't get many steps in as I would have thought & going foodshopping & running errands was surprisingly a lot of steps. I also was amazed at the sleep monitoring if you toss & turn it shows up as loss of sleep.

Belinda - Your doing well with BBL & Butt Bible. When I looked for Butt Bible only found a 10 minute w/o but I didn't look hard enough.

Cookie - Your clocking in a lot of miles:) I still have one more sauce left.

Kristin - I hope your enjoying your days off.

Goodnight:)
 
Good Morning:)

Sorry I didn't come back...maybe I shouldn't have said that:eek:. He passed everything yesterday:). He said he found this exam harder then the first. He also had his firearms test and he passed that too! He was on a roll yesterday. Unfortunately two others didn't pass their redo. The lady decided she had had enough and she went home on her own. The guy who didn't pass will either get back trooped or they will send him home. It must be a terrible feeling. DH was on cloud 9 yesterday. Now I feel more comfortable having someone come in and look at my home to tell me a price range...and then put it up for sale:eek: I also found out that the chances of us living remotely close to here is going to be slim. We may have to move pretty far away. It's going to be interesting.

I'm feeling yesterday's weight workout. GS always does that to me. I also went for a 7.5 k run in the afternoon. That's all I had time for and it was pretty windy. Pushing the stroller was a nightmare. Today I am having a baby group here so I'm just doing GS back, probably some abs and cardio. I'll have it all done in the a.m so I'm free to chat with moms after lunch.

Belinda** nice workout.

Ameila** you probably feel better now since you got your workout in! Hope you can get right back into it soon.

Cookie** moving heavy boxes can be pretty dangerous. I use to feel my back at times but I think ive managed to make it stronger with all those workouts. No doubt my abs were suffering after having a baby! Hope all is well!

Deb** oh training her was ok. The first thing she says is "if we aren't quite an hour then that's ok". Seriously? I would think you'd want to get your money's worth! I guess I just love working out so much that I don't get it

I will bbl to report my workout!

Lori:)

Hey girls,

I will do BBL Cardio Axe and abs.

Lori - congrats to your husband. Sorry to hear about moving in the future. Your family lives near by, right? Housing market is not good right now, it's a buyers market. Good luck with everything. I know you and your husband will figure it out.

Debbie - sounds like you busy with work. I am so happy for you guys.

Cookie - be careful with your back. I pulled a muscle a few weeks ago moving boxes around. No fun.

Hi Kirstin and Amelia!

I will be back later.
