Commit to get fit & lean for September!!

Slide-n-glide premix #2 + 40 mins of travel fit done today. My back is feeling pretty good so far. My PF is acting up again:rolleyes:

Just a quick check in. I will bbl with some personals :)
 
Hi everyone. I'm sorry I didn't check in yesterday. I had my first deep cleaning at the dentist. They numbed half my mouth and the drug made me feel anxious for a few minutes. It didn't help that I was a tad hungover from the party the night before. Then I went this morning for the second half of my deep cleaning. I have a follow up in two weeks. Hopefully the deep cleaning and my new water pick and electric toothbrush will do the trick and I can reverse a little bit of the damage. Anyway, yesterday I did not work out. Today I did 4DS LIS. I have been grading essays and putting laundry away. That's about it. . . Really exciting life over here, lol.

Amelia- glad your back is a little better. Nice workouts today.

Belinda- its still warm enough to get some sun down there, huh? Fall has definitely arrived. I haven't turned on mya/c I days, praise the Lord. Lol. We have to close our pool this weekend. That always depresses me, but we are thinking of doing a cruise in March during Easter break. That might keep me going, lol.

Cookie- I did enjoy this weekend. I felt like the last two weeks were crammed with going back to school, meet the teacher night for work and then DS school, three faculty meetings. . . A lot packed into two weeks.

Lori- so glad DH passed everything and is going strong. It has to be hard both physically and mentally to get through it all. I can imagine that some would want to quit. Is the housing market by you as lousy as it is here? I owe a lot more on my home than it is worth. Otherwise I'd sell it and get something a bit bigger.

Deb- are these prototypes for the holiday season. Tonight's must pick up from now until after Christmas. We are starting to make our pumpkin picking plans, lol. This year is flying by. My dad said something to DS abut being six and DS quickly correctedmm that he is seven now. My dad thought he was joking, lol.

Okay, I will be tomorrow.

Kristin
 
Hi,

I am so tired:( I think we can finish by tomorrow so that makes me happy. DH had a dinner so I decided to go to the gym & take a yoga class. My balance was off & it didn't help that we were going from one pose to another with no rest.

Lori - I'm so happy for you & DH. On the positive you'll have "new" running routes to try. You'll have to get extra space so your family can visit.

Belinda - Great job with your workout!

Kristin - Are you in pain now from the deep cleaning sometimes regular cleanings are painful afterwards? Both DS's may have to have their wisdom teeth removed, I feel bad for them. I also have a men's set-up at Kohl's this week & they are already selling Christmas ornaments next to the pumpkins:confused:

Waves hi to Amelia & Cookie

Goodnight:)
 
Morning everyone,

I did the Butt Bible + High & Tight and Tummy Tuck last night. Today I will do High & Tight and Tummy Tuck again.

Debbie - great job on the yoga class last night.

Kirstin - I hate deep cleaning, I need to make an appointment soon. I haven't turned the AC on in days, lol. Fall has arrived!

Amelia - well done with S&G.

Lori - what are your plans today?

Tonight we have dog training again.

I will be back later.
 
Good Morning

I went to bed a lot earlier last night. DH had a lot of work to do and I was falling a sleep on the couch anyway.

I'm not sure what today's workout will be yet. My mom is coming for a couple of days, I think. So part of me would like to wait and run later today....but another side of me would like to get my workout over with. Im leaning towards something in the ctx series. Yesterday's workout was GS back, 20 mins on the tm and cf.

I have the real estate agent coming by this afternoon to tell me what she thinks I should ask for the house. Im thinking the 350 range, DH thinks more maybe.

Belinda** it's still a sellers market here. Maybe wherever I move it will be a buyers market:eek:...it would be a win win!

Ameila** I haven't tried slide and glide yet:eek: there are a few workouts in that series that I still haven't tried.

Kristin** your cleaning outs like fun;). Its wed your almost through another work week!

Deb** yes new running routes...hopefully, safe running routes! I would hate to have to do all of my runs inside. Hope you feel well rested today!

There was a note in DS's school bag yesterday from his teacher saying that he cut his hair in class. I couldnt help but laugh. She said that she didn't see him do it but there was hair on his desk and scissors in his hands...lol..dead give away! I'm just glad it wasn't a little girls pony tail!

I will bbl to report my workout!

Lori:)
 
Hey girls,

DH and I just got a phone call that his mom in Fl isn't doing so well, the doc given her a few day's to live. She's been in the hospital for a few weeks. DH and I will fly to FL tomorrow. I will do my workout for today and tomorrow. Will take my laptop with me, at least I can get my workouts in.

I will check in when I can. Take care!
 
Good evening ladies. I just finished 4DS BC. I love the 4DS series. I wonder if Xtrain will be like it. Anyway, nothing exciting over here. DH had to drive to NJ for work today, so he had to leave at 6:30. I leave at 7, which means my dad had to come to my house to put DS on the bus and bring my other DS to the daycare. Well, my dad forgot. I called him at 7 because he is normally early, and he just woke up. I sped to work, making it with 5 minutes to spare.

We had another meeting about the new evaluations and how they want our plan books to look. I swear, some of my colleagues do not read any memos or newspapers for that matter, because they have no clue!!!

Deb- I am not so much in pain, but my teeth feel weird if that makes any sense. I look like an idiot using the waterpick, lol. I mean it. I really do. I press the button for the water to stop, but it doesn't and I get water everywhere. I am like a slient movie comedian, I swear, only the thing is I am not doing it on purpose for laughs, :eek:.

Lori- so funny about your son cutting his hair. Boys are so funny. Then again, I remember "trimming" my barbie's hair and she ended up with a military crew cut, lol.

Belinda- (((HUGS)))). I hope your MIL is not in a lot of pain. We'll be thinking of you.

Waving hello to Amelia and Cookie!

Kristin
 
Thanks Kirstin! They do keep her on a lot of meds. We will leave very early in the morning.

I will check in tomorrow if I can. Take care, girls!
 
Hi,

I did GS legs, I always do a double take because Brenda is in the front row of that video & feel like they are all in the wrong spots LOL. I had a nice lunch with my boss we ate outside today & it was a beautiful day, yesterday we didn't even have time to stop for lunch.

Belinda - My thoughts are with you, DH & your family (((hugs))).

Lori - You had me cracking up about the ponytail even though it wouldn't have been funny if it did happen. My younger DS to this day after a haircut will fix:confused: by cutting not sure what but find hair clippings in the sink.

Kristin - That must have been a stressful morning kudos for making it in time. I always wanted to use a waterpik, thinking my teeth would feel really clean but I figured I would have more water on the floor . . . maybe it will get easier with time.

Hi Cookie & Amelia

Goodnight:)
 
Good Morning:)

My mom is here so I got to sleep in this morning but of course I had trouble doing that. I'm so use to getting up at a certain time that I kept waking up.

Yesterday's workout was ctx shoul,bic,tris and I tried Amy bentos all pump, shoul,bics and tris. After the real estate agent left, I went for a 10.5 k run...it was soooo windy!!! Ugh! I think I'm going to go for a run this morning before my mom leaves and then do L&G's after lunch.

The real estate agent is suppose to drop off some numbers to me. She suggested that we not price it to high so that it won't sit here. I'm not giving it away either. There is a house just up the st a lot like ours that's listed for 339 but it's not moving. It also only has 2 bedrooms upstairs, mine has 3 and there is no bathroom off of the master and ours does. Plus we have a extra basement. I don't know...I'm thinking 350 and hope for 340?

Belinda** so sorry to hear about your mil! I'm guessing she has been sick for a while...safe travels!

Kristin** guess you had a hectic start to your day:confused:. I hate when that happens. Luckily you made it in time. Everyone thought the hair cutting story was funny...leave it to him!

Deb** GS is my fav leg workout. Actually the GS series is my favorite workouts in general. Everytime I switch it up and do something different for a week, whenever I go back to the GS I'm always sore!

I will check back in later!

Lori:)
 
'Morning!
Sorry I didn't check in yesterday - it was just crazy and didn't get home til after 10.
Belinda, I'm so sorry to hear about your mil. My thoughts are with you, dh and family.
Amelia, now you have me thinking about that FitBit! Yep, yesterday when I was getting dressed I thought "hmm, if I got one, I could wear it here." I might break down yet. Do you roll your foot around on a frozen water bottle? That seems to also help my friend.
Lori, TG! So glad to hear your dh's news. Now for the fun part of packing! I'm sure you're better than me, but the stress of keeping a house in show condition with little ones - that's stress.
Kristin, some folks prefer to live under a rock and not know anything. Bet you were worried yesterday morning. Glad your father made it in time and you did too.
Deb, pumpkins and Christmas trees? That doesn't even sound good. Glad you had a nice lunch outside. It was gorgeous yesterday; hard to believe we had such terrible rainstorm the day before.
Did a yoga wo today. Have all day state ed meetings today and tomorrow!
Cookie
 
Hi,

Today was a long day but we're finally done with the set-up & my bed is calling me. I didn't have time to workout:( right after work DH & I needed to do something with DS & went out for dinner afterwards I had pizza but didn't really matter because I only had time for a banana and pb for lunch:)

Belinda - Keeping you in my thoughts . . . hang in there.

Lori - Any chance of you moving closer to your sister? Since you have some time & extra space then the other house you should go higher. I really like the GS series too don't think I would ever get tired of it.

Cookie - Good luck with your meetings tomorrow. Is the Fitbit on an armband? I think you asked me this, tomorrow I have off and I can't step foot in a mall but I have to go to Walmart & food store & don't even want to do that.

Kristin - How are you doing with DH away?

Amelia - Is your back still ok?

Goodnight:)
 
Good Morning

I didn't have a very good night last night. I don't know if you gals recall the chest issue I get from time to time. Basically my lungs expand and the pain stems from my lungs hitting my rib cage..sounds gross I know. I never got any straight answers on why this happens to me but it's been off and on for about 14 yrs now...happens about twice a year. Extra cardio seems to be the problem, which would make sense cause it's my lungs and all. I guess that 15k run triggered something yesterday. And it's kind of like the cold, worse at night and in the morning, it's also worse when I lie down. I fell a sleep ok but it woke me up shortly after. The only thing in the house to take was Advil cold and sinus...but it did the trick. I fell a sleep on the couch then went to bed around 1:40. DS came out some time during the night to tell me his radio was off and the baby woke before 6! Needless to say I will be going to the drug store today. It's on my right side though...kind of shoots through my shoulder.

And this real estate stuff is throwing me for a loop. So they make 4.4% from selling my house???? WTF???? That's over $14000!!!!! AYFKM???? Is there that much paper work involved?? I think we've all picked the wrong careers! She doesn't think I should list it for 349 but if she thinks she is getting 4.4% then I will def be. I'm going to check with some other realtors, I have too. This is insane! I knew they made a few thousand but that much?

Cookie** oh I'm not looking forward to having to keep this house spotless for the next little while or packing it! I think they may come in and pack for me though. I feel like trying to sell it on my own now! Lord jump'ins!

Deb** sounds like you had a busy day. The only advantage is that time flies and before you know it your home again. My job was quite boring...they days were so long!

I'm not sure what my workout will be. I was going to do L&G but my hammies are nice and sore from yesterday's run. Also this weekend I am going to go through my pt books and figure out what my carb/fat/protein ratio should be to gain some lean muscle. Then I am going to try and start jotting it down each day.

I will bbl to report my workout!

Lori:)
 
Morning girls,

I dragged my butt out of bed this morning for a Upper Body workout. Did MM UB premix. Felt real good to get it in early before work:)

Yesterday was 30 mins of Step blast + 30 mins of Legs & Glutes. I'm hoping for some leg doms this afternoon.

Im buying that Fitbit today after work. :eek::eek: I was bidding on a few on Ebay but the ending prices weren't too far from a brand new one so Im just gonna go buy a new one;)

Belinda-Im so sorry to hear about the health of your DH's mom:( I will be thinking of you today. ((((hugs)))

Cookie-Nice job on your Yoga workout! Hope your meetings go by quickly today. I've tried the frozen water bottle for my PF. I will try it...thanks. My PF acted up after step blast Wednesday...

Lori-Sorry to hear about your bad night. That chest issue sounds like a muscle that you pulled in your chest? I hope you feel better today.

Deb-Hopefully you will have a more relaxed day today. My back is doing better...thanks.

Kristin-I agree with Deb, that must have a very stressful morning the other day. TGIF to you!

ok...off to pack my lunch. Not sure yet but Im sure some chicken will be in the menu.

For the first time since starting my job I dread working with the bakery manager today. We had some words yesterday that resulted in her slamming her hands on the table and raising her voice. I just hope she's in a better mood today because I don't like being disrespected like that. Its hard for me to bite my tongue when I know I didn't do anything wrong. She was just in a bad mood and taking it out on me. :(

ok...now im really off to start my day:eek:
 
Wow..pretty quiet around here!

I got my Fitbit yesterday afternoon. Im wearing it right now and can't wait to get home and see my steps taken and calories burned. :eek: I've already walked 351 steps and Im still in my PJ's:D (Cookie...did I enable you yet?:p:cool:)

I talked to my manager yesterday and although she never really apologized she did admit that she was in a bitchy mood all of this week. She said it was me who had an attitude....(ummmm, no). I told her I was responding to her with an attitude because thats what she came at me with. ;) ..... at least we can talk about it.:rolleyes:

I'm either taking a rest day or walking this evening. Have a great weekend:)
 
Good Morning:)

I've started to dread weekends again:(. Just when I thought I was ok with everything. I think I'm just to the point of "ok, it's time to come home now"....Im hoping the last few weeks don't drag on. I have two people doing pt starting this week, plus my own workouts and watching the girls after school, and my sister is coming home on tues, I should be occupied! I will probably be going to my parents house the next two weekends.

Yesterday's workout was pub shoul,bic and tris as heavy as I could go. Then I did one of my new mindy spin DVDs...she's one tough cookie too. I'm leaning towards L&G today...or maybe leaner legs. It's been so long since I've done that one.

No plans for today really. DS has gymnastics at 2 and that's the only thing in my schedule.

Ameila** having confrontation at work is never good. I remember getting snappy with my manager a couple of times and ge deserved it. Is she sleeping with that guy too?:eek: Maybe she found out that she isn't the only one:p I thought for sure I was going to have leg DOMS last week and I didn't either! But I'm sure we are still getting good workouts:)

I will bbl to report my workout

Lori:)
 
Hey everyone. Sorry I was MIA yesterday and Thursday. Thursday was an unscheduled rest day. I just didn't have it in my to do even a short cardio :(. I made up for it yesterday. I did 4DS HIS. My parents had the boys yesterday, so DH and I went to Fridays for dinner, just the two of us. Well, guess who shows up. . . my parents with my boys, lol. They were coming in as we were finishing up. It was too funny. Anyway, I actually did my workout when I got home from work, because my parents picked up my boys from school. I wish I could do workouts at that time every day. I just had so much more energy. I might try it this week. We shall see.

Anyway. . . I have AT on tap for today. I will bbl to catch up with personals.

Kristin
 
Okay, AT is done. I ran out after showering to take my younger DS to a kiddie birthday party. Now I am doing the bills, oh what fun, lol. Later we are going to a friend's house to watch some football game. I am hoping there are wings, lol.

Lori- Look at it this way. Fall is officially here, September is more than halfway over. Time is going pretty fast. It sounds like it will be going even faster with everything you go going on to keep you busy. Before you know it, Christmas will be here :eek: BTW I hear you on the real estate scam, I mean profit. It is 6% here on Long Island. NUTSO!

Amelia- getting loud and slamming hands on the desk is a tad unprofessional. I don't like bosses that have to show their aggression. Not cool.

Deb- DH is going away from Tuesday to Saturday of this coming week. I am lucky because Wednesday is another Jewish holday, so I will be home. Tuesday, Thursday and Friday will be stressful. I just need to keep up with my workouts. Even when I am tired they always make me feel better.

Cookie- learn anything "new" at those meetings. My AP told me that they keep making changes to APPR, such as how special ed. teachers and reading teachers will be evaluated. Sounds crazy.

Belinda- I am sending prayers to you and your family in this time of distress.

Kristin
 
Hi,

I took yoga class yesterday. We went to my Mom's today to celebrate some birthdays it was a really nice day & lots of laughs. I'm not sure if I told you this but DH gave me a couple of days at a spa/gym for my birthday & the time is here. I'm so excited & I just finished packing. I leave early tomorrow morning. I'll stop by & let you know what workout classes I pick.

Belinda - I hope everything is working out for you.

Lori - It's 6% here too. I know a lot of people around here will interview a couple of realtors to get different ideas & pricing it may be worth a shot. I hope the weekend goes really quick for you. Great workouts!

Amelia - At least you worked things out with your manager. It always amazes me that people think they can take their bad mood out on others . . . they are probably the ones who don't workout. Sounds like your really liking the fitbit:)

Kristin - It's good that you have the day off when DH is away so you don't have as much juggling to do. Your right about the workouts helping out with the stress;)

Cookie - What are you up to this weekend?

Goodnight:)
 
Good Morning:)

Yesterday's workout was just a run. I had intended on doing legs but got caught up in something else and got a shower instead. I did 11k outside and DD watched the boys for me.....one was sleeping so it wasn't that hard:p. I'm not sure what I will do today, I like doing AB at lease once a week and I haven't done it yet this week....but I still want to do L&G...would I be silly enough to do both?;) stayed tuned.....:eek:

I kept very busy yesterday. DD decided that she wanted to color her blonde hair brown, it looks awesome. She isn't a natural blonde but has been getting highlights for year so basically her whole head is blonde and her roots are fairly dark. I thought the color was going to grab her hair but it didn't. It's still nice but it's not going to last long so I have a feeling that I will be redoing that today. Then we had a birthday dinner and my sil's for my bil and I made a cheesecake for that. It was so yummy!

I spent part of the day working on some ratios for one of the girls whose been coming here to workout. That stuff is pretty time consuming. And to top it off she would keep texting me old diet stuff she use to do. I ignored the last one cause I started to get annoyed. We had agreed that she was going to start counting calories and here she is texting me what she use to with weight watchers 20 yrs ago?? I felt like telling her to turn the wheels off! Then she kept asking what I do when I workout. Now!! She knows just as well as anyone else that she wouldn't be able to workout like I do!

Kristin** sounds like you had a nice weekend...ready to face another week:eek:. I never did get use to the 4DS step routines, I know one of them was so confusing to me.

Deb** awesome birthday gift!! DH really out did himself!!! Hope your enjoying it...I know I would be!

I will bbl to report my workout. I have no plans today....bit of house work wouldn't hurt!

Lori:)
