Commit to get FIT & Lean for September!!

Hi,

It was a busy weekend yesterday did Hot Yoga. We had the baptism too & DH made a very good godfather:) It was a beautiful day for a party. Yesterday was DH's birthday too but we celebrated today. I took a rest day but was so busy packing, laundry, cooking & baked DH a cheesecake didn't feel like one.

Belinda - I hope you were able to schedule your MRI.

Kristin - You must be busy with the wedding so soon, wondering if you are in it.

Amelia - It looks like you had so really good workouts to help with the stress.

Melissa - Too many tests:( I do the same thing & put things in the freezer downstairs to make it harder to get to;)

Cookie - I'm sure ds needed to catch up with so many people, but at least you were able to see him & dd too!

Goodnight:)
 
'Morning!
Belinda, hope you've been resting. When is the mri? Resting probably means no cleaning either!
Amelia, I'm such a stress eater! Proud of you for not going for the ice cream.
Melissa, the working after school w/kids sounds rewarding and fun. This eval is just crushing folks.
Kristin, is next weekend the wedding? How's Baxter doing now? My dog has asthma!!! Never would have thought that. However, I can't picture ever trying to get her an inhaler.
Deb, when do you leave for Florida? What a busy weekend you had. The baptism and birthday both on your dh's day.
Finally saw ds yesterday for a few hours. He's been busy visiting friends. This morning he's having breakfast w/my mom before flying home. DD saw him for even less since she had to leave early afternoon yesterday to get back to school. It was great to see both of them. And short visits do have benefits.
D2S done. Yesterday did a metabolic, today strength. Lately, I'm having problems with one foot where it tingles then cramps for hours. Couldn't walk much at all on Sat.

Hi guys. This month has been a doozy. I am glad to see it end. I did not work out last week at all except for the first disc in Meso 3. I am contemplating starting Meso 2 over again and then go back to Meso three and that would take me to December. I don't know.

I got a bad head cold last week. Then DH and I had a huge blowout fight on Friday night. My older DS overheard the fight and told my dad about it. My dad ended up talking to me one-on-one and when I told him what the fight was about he told me I was being ridiculous. He asked me what was really bothering me and I unloaded. I told him about all the stress at work, how I have 30 kids in a class and this other teacher only has 18, WTF.I got ALL 8 students that were left back last year, and FIVE of them are in the same class. He asked me how they were in my class, and I told him they are trying, and he said that means I am good at what I do. That made me feel better because he never compliments me. At work I feel like I am being screwed and then the evaluations and state tests and then everything with my mom. I told him how I worry about her and then I worry about him because he won't talk about it and it is obviously getting worse and how does he live like this. . . It was good to unload and I felt better after, but I've been teary-eyed all weekend, lol.

I got back on the horse yesterday and did CSS. I think this week I will do whatever I feel like for cardio and get M2 week 1 done.

More drama with my brother's wedding, but I don't even have time to write about it now. The wedding is moving forward though, lol.

I am running out the door in a minute, but I just wanted to say I'm sorry I have been MIA. This month I am committing myself to working out 5-6 times a week. I realized that this month I let all the stress get to me and deter me from working out, which was even worse because my workouts are obviously my stress relief. I felt good last night when I did CSS.

Okay, I will be back later, promise!

Hey girls,

Sorry for not checkin in:( Had a busy last week:( I had a mammogram done on Sept 16. I got a letter in the mail last Wednesday saying I need to get another mammogram right away.I did get another mammogram the next day.Which was really quick. I did get the results right away, I am fine. Thank goodness:D I was happy for that. Last week my family doctor was on leave, I am pretty he will schedule an appointment for an MRI this week.

I am going crazy:mad: I am so bored...My husband wont let me do anything, he wants me to sit on my butt and rest my foot. He cleaned the entire house this weekend. What a sweety! I miss working out:confused:

Cookie - please be careful with your foot! That's how my started:confused: LOL, you are right...no cleaning! Have fun with your son.

Debbie - what a busy weekend you had. Happy Birthday to your husband.


Kirstin - hope you get your workout in. Sorry you have to deal with so much crap.

Melissa - not sure, if it's a compressed nerve in my back. Maybe a slipped disc?

Amelia - good job on that walk.

Are you girls ready for Cathe's new workouts? let me know what you think!



I will keep you posted. Have a great day.
 
Hey girls! This morning i did STS D10 and ab circuits no equip abs. Today was rough and made me realize how much studying I need to do :confused: we had a mock practical in our adult neuro class and a mock exam in orthopedics; I felt dumb on both of them and I really need to study harder lol. Tomorrow is our test in growth & development. It never ends!! I have so much stuff to do that I am not going to be able to do my mentor training tonight :( I really look forward to it but the is no way that's gonna happen, unfortunately.

Deb, sounds like you had a busy weekend! Happy bday to your DH! Glad you had fun at the baptism :D

Cookie, nice job on the workouts. I'm sorry about your foot :( hope it feels better soon!

Kristin, what an emotional time. You def have a lot going on. I'm glad you got to talk to your dad about it. That just feel relieving. I agree, working out is definitely a great stress reliever. I forget that sometimes too.

Belinda, I'm so glad your mammo came back clear! So scary. Aww your DH is so nice. I say rest that foot and take advantage ;). I didnt order the new workouts but now I'm wishing I had!! Ugh story of my life lol.

Hi Amelia!!!
 
Hi guys. I did AT Cardio leg blast today, plus I added the abs. I am so proud of myself for working out two days in a row, lol. It feels good to get the tension out. Right now my body feels like jello and I feel relaxed, lol.

My brother's wedding. . . I am not in it. The dress never came in and when I asked my sis-in-law she was giving me the run around. I am relieved in a way because it is saving me money. Then there was the bachelorette party that never was. According to my sis in law we were a party of 8. We were going to the 80s Prom dance in the city. The tickets were $100 a piece. She swore 8 people were going. I got us a limo deal through a friend, 10 passenger $500 for the night. Well, the party of 8 turned out to be a party of 3. . . yes 3 and the maid of honor and I could not afford the limo between the two of us. The thing that pissed us off was that sis in law said her sisters were going and her mother was paying for them. Well, that was a lie. The maid of honor called the mother and the mother had no clue what we were talking about. Then I asked the maid of honor if she got an invitation. . . she confirmed that the invitations were NEVER mailed to anyone because they never had new ones made after postponing it the first time. WTH?!?!? It should be interesting. I was going to take Friday off for the wedding (it's Friday night). Now I am going to work. I am not wasting a day for this crap.

Anyway. . .

Belinda- I'm so glad your mammogram came back good. That is always scary. I agree with DH that as hard as it is for you, you need to rest that foot. It will never really get better without getting a real break. It sucks though, I get it. I did not order the new dvds. I find that I like them only when they come in a real set, lol. Otherwise, I pick and choose. I am interested in Flextrain and X10. Down the line maybe. Christmas is coming ;)

Melissa- I bet you are busy studying right now. It was a relief to talk to my dad. I was a bit embarrassed that my little guy told him, but I guess he was upset by it too. I find it really hard when I let the stress get the best of me. . . I have to stick to my workouts. I feel so much better the last two days because of the workouts. I was lucky to get "effective" but a lot of teachers got developing and some even got ineffective (mostly special ed teachers who do not have a chance in hell as far as the state tests are concerned). The morale in my building is so low. It is depressing. You know this whole ed reform is going to create a teacher shortage. You would have to be an idiot to become a teacher now. I wish I could be a stay at home mom and just focus on my boys and not have all this pressure on me. I am hoping to just survive this era without it completely killing my love of teaching.

Cookie- Baxter is doing better. It is funny you mention the inhaler. Baxter needed a few nebulizer treatments. Fortunately, we have a nebulizer from when my DS has pneumonia, lol. We had all the equipment. Just needed to meds. Too funny.

Amelia- How is the new job? Do you like your new boss better than your old one?

Okay, off to shower.

Hi,

Today was the last hot yoga class for the month, it felt like Cathe's RT they were taking photos while we workout. It may have been my last workout before we leave Thurs. morning . . .running out of time.

Belinda - That must have been scary with the mamo but I'm happy that everything is good. You should take advantage of the rest time it's not very often that you get it;). How sweet of DH to help you out.

Kristin - It is great that you & your Dad had a great talk at least something good came out of the stress. I agree with your Dad the school must think you can handle it & have so much confidence in you. Ugh, on the wedding but you'll probably enjoy it more as a guest.

Melissa - Don't be so hard on yourself, it sounds like some tough stuff you are studying.

Amelia - hi

Cookie - It's really nice DS even had time to go see your Mom:) it must mean so much to her.

Goodnight:)
