Good Morning
I'm up before the baby this morning...imagine that. I woke at 6:30 and decided to get up. I know it wont be long before he wakes up. I have been trying to figure out if I can rearrange his nap today and get him in bed even earlier tonight so that when I wake him in the morning it won't be as bad. I'm gonna have to get up around 4:15 or so. I should be at the airport around 5:15 and I need to get three kids out the door....two of which won't be doing anything on their own. But I don't think I will have any trouble getting up or getting DS up...he will be so excited! And we can all sleep on the plane, although I usually don't.
My parents are suppose to be coming in today, if they do I would like to go for a long run outside and I also want to do a good UB weight workout and ill probably do that this morning after my 9:30 leaves. I don't have a lot to do today. I do have a couple of things to do but I can probably get my mil to do one of those.
More good news, atleast on where we will be living. We found a place to rent for a bit, it's kind of like row housing (military houses they turned into units) and they are $1450/m plus matching damage deposit. A guy DH works with will be renting his home (upstairs) and we were considering that too. But there was a catch, there is a guy who lives in the basement but he use to come upstairs to use to kitchen. I didn't really care for that. But dh was talking to him last night and he is gong to put in a stove for him downstairs so we shouldn't have to see him. He is also only going to charge us $1200 b/c dh will be working with him. We also wouldn't have to sign a lease...so there are some good things about this. Plus the house is newer.
Wendy** good job at getting your workout done. It's not easy squeezing it in in the evening.
I will bbl to report my workout. Keep your fingers crossed for my house viewing this evening! We might have a offer tonight.

Hi Ladies,
I worked from home yesterday and went out to lunch with some of my team. One of our employees is from India and him and his wife are out here without any family. We had a birthday celebration for his 1 yr old son. Normally we would each pick up our own tab, but he paid for all of us. Not sure if it's a customary thing or not.
My workout yesterday morning was the Original Bootcamp. I haven't decided what I'm doing this morning. Probably either Too the Max or Cross Fire, Circuit Max....I'll pick something when I get downstairs.
Lori-Safe travels! I saw the calendar pick on FB, too cute. At least DD is old enough to help out with the two little ones. Sounds like to temporary housing came through for you. That's great, it allows you the time to find something you like. Hoping your house sells in short order.
Laura-oh no, hope Toots is feeling much better today. I totally agree that the A2 workouts get harder as you learn them and can give them your all. I'm still struggling with food control...gggrrrr. This fluff has got to go.
Wendy-I'm happy to hear that you are wanted for longer in the office job, although I know it's not what you want to do. If I could replace my salary with a fitness job I would do it in a heartbeat. Hope you get good news from FEMA.

Good Morning Ladies.
Cardio Supersets as planned last night.
Today calls for Low Impact Challenge which I can't do b/c I don't have a step where I'm staying so it'll either be an alternate cardio (kickboxing?), yoga or a rest day. Time will tell...it's wrestling practice again tonight so if I work out it'll be another late one!
Good news:: After tons of back and forth, we are again supposed to be moving back home this weekend! Keep your fingers and toes crossed that this time it actually happens!!!
Laura:: BBL overall is a very effective set for the lower body (for me anyway). I really should give a full rotation another go soon! Glad you had fun at the GTG! OMG so sorry about the Toots scare! Hope she's feeling better!!!!
Diana:: Yeah, not what I want to be doing but until I find a trainer job, if I can work I really should so I'll deal. FEMA said to call them back if our flood insurance won't cover all of our damage so we'll see. Flood adjustor comes on Saturday finally. Enjoy your work out - whatever you choose. Good job with BC. An oldie but a goodie for sure!
Lori:: Thinking of you on a plane with those crazy kids of yours! Have a safe and enjoyable trip and send congrats to your DH from the Damage Control crew!

Hello Ladies.
My work out is done! I did Lower Intensity Step (37m). I was able to step b/c I did it at my house while DS was at his wrestling practice. I hang at the house anyway so why not work out right? Trouble is that I literally only have 40 mins to work with. I finished LIS with no time to spare! I figure it's a great sub for Low Impact Challenge which is too long for the time I had and some of that choreo is still a mystery to me and tonight was not the time to try to learn anything new! All in all it worked out well and now I can relax instead of working out until 9 or 9:30 at night!
BBITAM!

Good Morning
We are up early. I guess with the time change and all. It's not even 6 here but close to 8:30 at home.
What a long day yesterday! Before we even left we knew that our next leg was delayed and it only gave us 20 mins to meet our connection. They were suppose to start boarding at 10:40 and at that time there wasn't even anyone at the gate. I was getting so ticked cause the baby was so sleepy and I wanted him to wait until we got on the plane. When we finally did get on the plane, we sat there for about 45 mins and it was so hot! So of course meeting our connection was out the window. We were suppose to leave for Regina at 1 but our new connection didn't leave until 4:30....then that one was delayed too! It worked out better for dh but I just wanted to get there. I really hate travelling! The kids weren't hard to wake yesterday. Dd set her alarm for 3:30, I got up shortly after that, and I woke the boys around 4:15. They weren't hard to get up at all but they had such a long day. Ds was so bored even though he had his iPad. I can't believe I have to do this again on the 20th, by myself and even further! I'm gonna have to drug the baby or something. At least I had my in laws to pass the baby to.
So the house viewing was a bust. I emailed the real estate agent and asked when they were coming by in wed. She emailed me back and said that they had taken our house off of the list of houses they wanted to look at again. I was so disappointed. And it also rotted me that I had to ask her when they were coming and then she told me. I'm not sure when she knew.....it's almost like she knew but wasn't going to bother telling me.
I think my workout was a 11k run and GS shoul,bics and tris on wed. I may head to the gym downstairs if someone else wakes up soon. My in laws are in the hotel room next to us and my fil is usually up early. He will probably come over and watch the boys for a few.
I'm not sure what our plan is today. Probably just shopping while we wait for dh to finish up his last day.
Wendy** I don't think I ever did learn that choro in that workout. Some I couldn't be bothered with...like the 4DS step routines. They were just to confusing and I don't enjoy step that much. I'm crossing my fingers you will be back In your house this weekend!
Diana** I don't know if I would get any work done if I worked from home cause I'd be to busy doing all the things I saw around the house! Yeah the house deal was to good to be true.....
Laura** sounds like you had a nice time with your friends! Our old dog use to get sick like that sometimes. He would just keep drugging uncontrollably. The other one has guts of steal.
Alright, I'm gonna tidy up my hotel room a bit!
Have a good day!

Hi Ladies,
I did Circuit Max or Cardio & Weights yesterday morning. I can't remember which one it was for sure without going to the basement and looking at my calendar. Last night was bootcamp, and my legs are so sore this morning. Carrying db's, we started of with running 10 sets of stairs, 10 squats, and 10 pushups, running 1 lap with weights, 1 dip, 1 lunge alternating. Then we were on to 9 stairs.....etc and the exercises we did 1 of increased each time. I was a sweaty sore mess by the time we were done. My weight is slowly coming off...down 2 more pounds. I would be much more comfortable with another 2 gone.
I'm not working out this morning as DH scheduled the comcast guy for 7-8am this morning. We are switching back to comcast for cable from dish network. It will safe us about $60/month. We used to bundle with them for internet/phone/cable...but then went to Dish about 2 or so years ago.
I'm planning on leaving work early to hit bodypump and bodystep tonight at the rec ctr. I need to make up for missing my morning w/o. I've been pretty consistent in working out at least 6 days per week.
Lori-glad you finally made it to your destination. What a long day for sure. That's too bad about the house....the pics of your house are so beautiful, what's not to like? I love all the wall colors...we have white walls in every room except I painted my girls room pale yellow with white trim. I'm sure something else with come through for you soon.
Wendy-so you caved on xtrain...good girl...we've trained you well! Hopefully you will have asylum for Christmas too! LIC does have some confusing choreography. I followed the Low Impact rotation for a month so learned it pretty well, but it's not a very good calorie burner for me so I don't do it often. I think BBL is one of the only BB programs I don't have. It's cheap enough I should just order it one of these days as the lower half is my problem area.
Laura-how are your legs feeling after Power Legs??? I remember doing that on a weekend and intending to follow it up with cardio...totally not needed with this w/o. I still struggle with some of the agility work but think reviewing the training dvd where he breaks down all the moves would be beneficial.

Lori:: Great fam pics on FB! Everyone looks so happy! Sorry traveling was such a PITA for you. Awww that stinks that they ruled out your house. Hopefully someone else wants to see it soon!!!! I hear you on difficult step choreo. I really have to be in the mood to learn tricky choreo (step or otherwise) and sometimes I get so aggravated I just quit right in the middle!
Di:: OMG I wld be pissed about the cable installation too. UGH. I hate when that happens. When my washing machine broke last year it ofcourse had to be a part they don't keep on the truck and it wasn't even a big part. Annoying! Congrats on the weight loss! Losing at this time of the year is no easy feat!!!

I was just on FB and saw a post about Les Mills new combat dvd set (kickboxing/martial arts). OMG-I want it!!! Only $60 to pre-order the basic set so I think I need to do it! Apparently it's set to ship in a week! I hope DH doesn't mind me buying myself a Christmas gift! lol
Laura:: You poor thing! Feel better fast!!!!! HUGS!!!
