Commit to get FIT & Lean for September!!

Hi,

I did Hot yoga today the month is almost over so trying to take as many classes as I can fit in. I'm not sure if I told you guys but we are going to Florida in about 10 days can't wait. Even though I'll miss this time of year.

Belinda - I'm sure the Drs. checked but any chance you have a small tear in your foot? Sending you (((hugs))) it must be hard to sleep when you are in pain.

Kristin - I hope your normal routine comes back this week.

Amelia - This is such a great time of year to walk:) It does make sense to see how work is before you decide when to workout.

Melissa - It's good that you were able to visit home after a tough week:) I hope this week is better for you.

Cookie - That makes a lot of sense about not wanting to work out where your work stress is. It sounds like you are feng shuing your house;) You are inspiring me to move some unwanted things out of my house. The garbage men will not like me the next couple of months.

Goodnight:)
 
Morning girls, Its early for me...im in the middle of getting the kiddies on the bus.

Today my rotation calls for a rest day, and I plan on taking advantage of that. No walking or workouts :D But in return I have to watch the eats :confused:

Yesterday was PH + 30 min walk in the evening. Im loving those evening walks...they really clear my head and get rid of any stress for the day. I love my new walking track too, at the local high school:) Its so quiet there

Deb- Yay Florida!! I would be counting down the hours LOL :eek: Are you going to take the yoga classes in October?

Belinda- ((((HUGS)))) im so sorry your leg/foot is still hurting you. I hope you slept better last night :(

Melissa-Glad to hear you had a nice relaxing weekend with your folks!

Hello to Kristin and Cookie :)

Thats all for me - laters...
 
Good evening,

After sitting on my butt and resting my foot all day, I finally did yoga with Jill Miller Yoga Tune Up Athletic stretch = 20 min (really like that one) and Jessica Smith Shape Pink Power Flat Abs " Abs REHAB" = 10 min.


Debbie - Thank you so much! I hope I don't have a small tear in my foot? I never been in so much pain in my life. I am taking lot's of pain killer, seems to help. Last night I woke up with cramping in my right foot again. Don't get it?

Melissa - hope this week is a better one! Glad going home helped!

Amelia - thank you so much for the hug! Glad you enjoy your walks. I miss going for walk.

Waving Hi to Cookie and Kirstin.

I will be back tomorrow. Good night.
 
'Evening!
Belinda, perhaps you should go back to the dr or get another opinion. Doesn't seem right that you're in that much pain. Hope its is better very soon.
Amelia, 6:05 and your kids are getting on a bus?!!! Its still dark here. What time do they come home? A school track is a great thing. Good for you.
Kristin, hope you're taking a rest day. I'm taking one today as well. How do you manage to keep up with your school paperwork?
Melissa, glad you got to spend time with you parents. They must have enjoyed having you home. Sorry things are stressful.
Deb, Florida! How wonderful for you. Will it be just you and dh? The Collage catalog arrived today and I was looking at Ultimate Yogi again. ... Thanks on the workout area. Cleaning it made such a change in my outlook. Did D2S yesterday and a long walk. Didn't sleep well last night at all so today was a rest day. Changed mom's party to a brunch and think all siblings are in. Whew!
Cookie
 
Hi,

I took today as a rest day. I didn't sleep well last night too many weird dreams at one point I dreamed we brought home a Charlie Brown Christmas tree:confused: wish I knew what that meant. Funny because today I saw a beautiful decorated Christmas tree for sale next to the Halloween decorations.

Belinda - Be careful with the workouts, I hope your foot feels better.

Amelia - My ds likes to run on the HS track it's a great place to go & safe too. I'll cut down on hot yoga starting next month & buy a book of classes it is too expensive to pay by the month unless you go 4+ times a week.

Cookie - I'm glad the brunch worked out for your family. A brunch is fun! Deep Discount during a 25% sale offered Ultimate Yogi for a really good price might wait to see if they have it again.

Waves hi to Kristin & Melissa

Goodnight:)
 
Hey girls,

Today was All out low impact Hiit + core #1. I also plan on getting that walk in later...

I will bbl with personals.:)
 
Good afternoon,

This morning I did Yoga Tune Up with Jill Miller "Feet and Ankles" = 17 min. This afternoon I did Yoga Tune Up Quick Fix "Knee Hab" 1 (13 min) and 2 (15 min). Love these workouts, my foot feels great afterwards. I have a doc appointment for my foot tomorrow morning:D

Amelia - nice job on your workout this morning. How was that walk?

Waving Hi to everyone that checks in after me.

I will be back in the morning. Good night.
 
Hey everyone. This month has just sucked. I don't know how else to put it. My dad finally returned Saturday. I got my workout in. . . Saturday night Baxter was breathing funny. He had a hard time, it was labored breathing. DH took him to the emergency animal hospital (10 minutes away). Turns out the puppy has an pneumonia. WTH?!?!? He had to stay two nights at the hospital. You can imagine what that cost me. To top it off, Dh and I had a huge fight right before we realized Baxter was sick. I feel like since we hit September I have not had even five minutes alone with him and things have been crazy. Then I got TOTM and I felt like crap. . . So I didn't workout Sunday or yesterday.

I did start Meso 3 today. I did D25 back and chest. This month has been bad for me eating and working out wise too. I need desperately to get back into a routine.

Soo. . . then there is my brother's wedding. It is supposed to be Oct. 4. Well, no one on my brother's side got invitations. . . yea. See, they cancelled the wedding three times before, well, postponed it anyway. Bro's fiancée says she mailed out the invites, but no one got them. Bro tells me they never ordered new invitations, so he does not know how she would have mailed out invites. WTH? This stressed my mom out all last week. She ended up handing out dollar store invites to the neighbors (so tacky). Then I'm in the wedding, but sis-in-law cancelled my fittings like 10 times and then ordered my dress without me being fitted in it AND it still has not come in. .. So I'm thinking I'm not in the wedding. I don't know. I need a dress. I kind of hope I'm not. Then I can wear what I want, lol.

Deb- a Charlie Brown Christmas tree? I wonder what that means, lol. Maybe that your Christmas spirit is hurting due to the way the retail industry has exploited it to the point that there is nothing left to exploit and you are surrounded by it when you go into the stores? What more can they so, have Christmas decorations out in July with the boogie boards and swimmies?

Amelia- I meant to comment earlier and I realized I forgot you in my last post, sorry. Congrats on the new job! That is great. I bet you are a bit relieved.

Cookie- school paperwork.. . I do it on the weekends (grading essays). Quizzes and tests I grade during the day at work. I go in early, grade during my duty (bathroom duty), lunch and prep. I'[m lucky to have my room open during my lunch and prep. I put on my music (jazz or classical or Broadway tunes) and just grade tests and quizzes. If I fall behind, I stress.

Belinda- those yoga workouts sound interesting. I'm glad your foot is feeling better. I'm thinking of what I will do after STS. I might do Xtrain or do Meso2 again, not sure.

Melissa- Sounds like you and I are having the same kind of month. I am so happy Christmas break is 2 weeks this year. I need it! How is your mom doing with this APPR evaluation crap? I am so sick of hearing about it!

BB tomorrow, pinky promise ;)

Hi,

I went to go to hot yoga this morning & the door was locked didn't realize this morning the class is 1/2 hour early on Tues & Thurs :eek: need to look at the schedule! They let me come in & change for work. Tonight I did GS back & shoulders (will do bi's tomorrow).

So DH was asked to be Godfather to our Great-nephew. They are having it this weekend along with his 1st birthday. We were surprised need to run out & get him a few things. They asked so late because there is a bit of drama going on between my nephew & his gf it is a sad situation.

Belinda - I'm glad you are going to the Dr. & it sounds like the workouts are helping or at least not hurting.

Kristin - Like your take on my dream:) I never heard of a dog getting an pneumonia, in fact I didn't even think dogs could get colds:confused: I'm sure that was so expensive:( The wedding situation sounds crazy maybe they are having cold feet?

Amelia - Looks like you are getting in a lot of workouts;)

Waves hi to Melissa & Cookie

Goodnight:)
 
'Morning!
Belinda, glad you're seeing a dr today. Hope they can figure out the problem and give you relief. Did Dr Deb prescribe the yoga?
Amelia, how far from home is your job? Are you able to walk there? That's one of my day dreams, having a job I could walk to. Are you getting Cathe's new ones?
Kristin, what drama! And the date is coming up quickly. Do you think people like and almost expect more drama these days? It seems nonstop to me. Your poor parents. Is this the girl who babysat last week for you?
Melissa, I forgot your mom is a teacher. Sorry. How is she hanging in there? How are you doing?
Deb, your dream was really interesting. Between that and yesterday morning, sounds like you're feeling stressed too. That's a lucky baby having your dh.
Yesterday got in D2S wo. This morning a short cardio. Had dinner meeting last night, tonight, and tomorrow night! These late nights are getting to me.

Good morning,

I just came back from the doc. After checking out my right foot and running lots of test. He thinks it's not my foot but my back:confused: He wants me to get an MRI for my back and see a specialist for my back. He doesn't want me to do any kind of workouts, not even yoga. He wants me to rest my foot/back until I see the specialist for my back and the MRI:( This is gonna be hard, not to do anything.

I guess, I am done with STS:( This week is my last week of M2. Wished I could finish up M2. The funny part is, I have no back pain at all:eek:

Cookie - you are funny:p No Dr Deb didn't prescribed the yoga. I figured, it would help:eek:

Debbie - sorry you had to wait until they open the door. I am always early:(
Happy Hump Day, everyone. Hope things will seattle down with your family. Been there!

Kirstin - dogs are like humans, they get sick like we do! Hope your dog feels better soon, poor thing! And yes, dogs are expensive! I have really bad pains in my foot at night, to a point were I can't sleep. I thought the yoga would be good, I guess I was wrong.

Today I will do sitting on my buttmax:eek:

Happy Hump Day!
 
Hi,

Today I took a hot yoga class. I think I am getting my money's worth on the trial month LOL. They offer free memberships if you work the front desk 6-8 hours a week & once they check everyone in the girl can take the class. It looks like a lot of college girls do it.

Belinda - I think DH is going to have to hide your DVDs & exercise equip ;). It's amazing that the Dr. made the connection with your foot pain & back. Take care of yourself, can you go for walks?

Cookie - DH & I had a meeting tonight not sure how you do it, it just wears me out. The weekend is almost here & it is supposed to be beautiful.

Waves hi to everyone

Goodnight:)
 
'Morning!
Belinda, your back! Wow, isn't it amazing how finely connected everything is in our bodies? One of my sister's sons is having leg issues related to back problems. He's having a lot of tests done and they also are saying back! Hope you're resting. I'm sure your dh is taking good care of you.
Deb, so are you thinking of working the front desk? If not, perhaps you should.
Getting ready to go do d2s weight wo. Reminder to self: do not let dh give puppy a chew thing before going to bed b/c he will keep me awake all night long with the crunch, crunch, crunch.
Waves to everyone,
Cookie
 
Hi,

Today I did yoga at the Y. So the next few days will be yoga, yoga for me before my hot yoga pass runs out:eek: It does help reduce stress but I'm sure a kickboxing would be good too:)

It seems like we are all stressed in one way or another but we are all working it out & I'm sure any exercise/moving helps!

Belinda - I hope you get an appointment with the back Dr. soon.

Cookie - I should quit my job & be a yogi LOL, really not such a bad idea for us right. Your like my DH he would hear every crunch & I would sleep right through it;)

Waves hi to Kristin, Amelia & Melissa

Goodnight:)
 
'Morning!
Belinda, hope you're resting.
Deb, perhaps you sleep so well b/c of the yoga. That's why you should continue on and become a yogi.
I'm so excited, my son who lives in Arizona came home for the weekend to attend a friend's wedding. Well, okay, so he came in last night when I was asleep and now I have to leave for work, but at least we're in the same building, right? DD also came home to see him, but since I picked her up at bus station last night, I saw her. Will be nice to see him this evening at least.
Cookie
 
Hi,

I took a hot yoga class today, have DOMS all over. Ugh, on the guy next to me who stripped down to underwear & sweat all over:rolleyes: I think if he were wearing clothes it would have absorbed some of it. Just gross.

Belinda - I hope your foot is feeling better.

Kristin & Melissa - You must be very happy it's Friday:)

Amelia - How is the new job?

Cookie - How exciting your ds & dd came home for a visit. Enjoy the weekend.

Goodnight:)
 
'Morning!
Belinda, hope you're feeling better. Rest!
Deb, that's uncomfortable and gross about the guy in hot yoga. I'd probably need a shower more from the thought of him than actual sweat!
Saw Cathe's dad passed away. What a hard time.
Saw visiting ds about two minutes yesterday b/c he's off visiting friends. But spent the evening w/dd and loved every second. Of course, I fell asleep watching tv with her, but I was there. House and shopping today. Going to do a D2S wo after a cup or two of coffee. Going to try to get work paperwork also done before everyone gets up and moving.
Thinking of everyone and waving hi!
Cookie
 
Morning girls,

Yesterday was a 40 min power walk and that was it. I had a few things going on and was kinda stressed out. :( Im surprised I didn't end up head first in a bowl of extreme moosetracks icecream :eek: but I didn't buy it so all is good LOL

Not sure about today? I know im going walking this evening, not sure what else?

I will catch up with you guys later :)
 
40 min full body weights done ( free style ) + 40 min power walk outside, its so pretty out today here :)

I will bb tomorrow with personals Ladies:)
 
Hey girls, remember me?! Sorry I have been MIA the past 2 weeks (I know, same old story lol). Things have been so busy, but I think I finally found a routine now that I can stick to; hopefully I will keep to it! Now starts our crazy time where we have at least 2 tests a week for the next month :eek: I am such a horrible test taker! Also, I'm volunteering in a program called Play Fit, Stay Fit where I get to be a personal trainer for kids aged 8-17 M&W nights. It is SO much fun!! My schedule is packed but I'm enjoying myself :D

Friday night a few of us went to Fright Fest at 6 Flags. I've never seen that park so empty! We got to ride all the major rides at least 2x. The rest of the weekend was pretty boring: studying and cooking for the week lol. Today I plan on doing P90X legs & back, and maybe a short cardio.

Kristin, omg I can't believe Baxter had pneumonia! :confused: I didn't know dogs could get that either. OMG @ the wedding stuff! How can she order a dress if you never got fitted for one?! What a mess. Hey, at least it's not your wedding so you can just sit back and laugh (ok, that is mean but seriously it sounds ridiculous lol). Ugh, I feel so bad for my mom with the evaluation stuff. She called me crying a couple of weeks ago because she got "underperforming." She said most of the teachers in her school did and I think only 2 passed. I don't get this whole system and how ANYONE thinks it's a good idea or even works. It really blows my mind.

Belinda, wow now workouts at all? That stinks, but it's better to rest before it gets worse. Does he think it's a compressed nerve in your back? You would never think of it but that could cause foot pain and muscle weakness, and you would never know because you wouldn't have any back pain at all. My dad has foot drop and we just learned all about how these things happen; when I went home I was teaching him and showing him diagrams and stuff lol.

Deb, you definitely did get your money's worth with hot yoga! LOL @ naked guy!!! That is gross.

Cookie, glad you are having a great time with your DD and DS! What kind of shopping did you do yesterday (I love shopping stories)?

Amelia, nice job on the workouts! What is extreme moosetracks ice cream? Sounds delish and dangerous. Stop & Shop had a sale on Edy's ice cream, 2 for $6 so I had to buy them, BUT I need to keep them in the freezer downstairs because 1) it's right next to the workout room so I always think twice before getting some and 2) I'm usually too lazy to go down there and actually get it ;)
