CoNtRoL the DaMaGe in Sep!

[Fit_mommy]

Hello Ladies.

So today was a total rest day. I considered running or doing yoga after dinner but then I remember that I had something else I had to do so that went out the window...probably all the better though! Now tmrw I can start a fresh week of work outs! What to do, what to do!?

Thank you all so much for listening to my PT blather and chiming in where you can. I really appreciate any and all input you can give. I actually also just picked the brain of a fellow Cathlete (well she's probably more of a former Cathelete now but that's ok...) who has been a certed PT for 3 years and started right off with her own business! I was asking her opinnion on this WITS vs other certs issue I have. After hearing her opinnion on the issue I am even more convinced that I just need to go with the cert that I feel comfortable with initially and if that means obtaining an additional cert in the future for my job then so be it. If I don't get a cert I am comfortable with then there will be no job at all so I suppose it's kind of a no-brainer!!!

Diana:: Glad your back is on the mend. Maybe skip the back work in tmrw's work out just to be safe? ITA with you on the cost of that Lulu crap! LOL Way too rich for my blood! Ofcourse, if I can get this PT thing off the ground I just might be able to justify a purchase of high end fitness wear at some point! I buy cute work out wear but it's not expensive. I mainly shop at Target and Kohl's and sometimes TJ Maxx or Marshalls and even those places want too much $$ for some of their stuff in my opinnion! I usually buy with a coupon at Kohls but at Target, etc. I just stay away from the pricier items. Group fitness is a great part time job to have! If you are really interested, I say go for it! ACE is a very well respected cert and perhaps I would need to get it one day but again, it's home study w/no hands on so it's fine as an added cert for me but it won't give the experience/confidence I need by itself. Ultimately I hope to make fitness a f/t job even if I have to work at a couple different places to do it and/or get the group cert as well. DH is the breadwinner in our house so for me it's not about bringing home big bucks but as a successful PT you can do pretty darned well from what I hear! Especially if it's your own business with minimal overhead costs! Having a f/t job for me is pretty much just about having a job (hopefully one I enjoy this time!) that brings in a little extra $$ simply b/c there is no reason for me to be at home all day and I don't wanna be! I'm starting to go stir crazy in this house! I hated my last job but I was so grossly overpaid for what I did that I just couldn't leave! In the future when we get outta this tiny house I would hope to be able to start up in business for myself at home. It's what my SIL does now and she loves it! From what I gather the Cathlete I spoke to love it as well!

Lori:: There are lots of people like that-who can't sit still. I have the opposite problem in needing the butt glue remover all to often!
Between you and your mom your house must be spotless 24/7...even with 3 kids in it!!!! Yes, we must look at the changes to come in our lives as exciting and a chance at new beginnings with new opportunities. A part of me is scared to death but I'm trying to ignore that part as much as possible! LOL

Laura:: Thank you so much for the encouragement and vote of confidence!!!!

See you all in the morning!

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?

Wendy** when you get nervous about what your about to embark on, all you have to do it look at the way things are now. If you feel disappointed or that excitement leaves, then you know it was meant to be. If your like myself your probably thinking that at this age we should know what we want to be when we grow up! I don't know if I will ever have my dream job figured out. But walking around a gym in spandex all day sounds pretty intising.

Diana** you've got a hectic schedule! DD doesn't know if she is going to play vball this year even though she tried out. I think she wants to work instead. I don't know what's up with that. We dropped off some resumes on wed but most places aren't hiring until Christmas now. She didn't want to go to fast food places or Walmart. I think Walmart would have been perfect. She might get a call. The advantage to teens is they can work some evenings and weekends...the hours that adults hate. Enjoy your workout today.

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!

Good Morning Girls.

I have lots going on today. I have an apptmnt from 11-12 and then when I pick up DS from school at 2:50 I am bringing him straight up to my MIL's so that will suck up 2 hours worth of time. DH and I are going to a concert tonight. In between I have to work out, pack DS and figure out what I am going to wear tonight.

I am still trying to decide on my work out for today. I'd like to get in a little bit of everything so nothing can be too long...Thinking of giving a split a go for weight work. I didn't think it would work originally but it just might and today would be a good day to get going on it. I'll probably use the GS series...For cardio it's either a run or Insanity...and then ofcourse we can't forget about some yoga!

Lori:: Ew, sorry about your bad night. Doesn't sound fun. Sounds like your realestate agents get less then ours do! The standard agent around here get like 6% I believe! Some agencies charge a little less but then you are getting a different level of service. You get what you pay for I guess! It is a lot of $$ but in this real estate market (atleast in the US) these poor folks are probably barely making it right now! It's got to be tough to make any money in that industry right now! When the market was hot I'm sure they made $$ hand over fist. Remember to that it's purely a commission job. If they don't sell, they don't eat. There is also all of the work at the office that they do that you don't see. I guess it depends on how you look at it but even with the commission sounding like a lot of $ I would still be afraid to depend on a job like that coz you just never know when you will you get your next paycheck! LOL - yeah I hear ya - One of my fave parts when I think about being a PT is being able to wear comfy clothes (aka spandex lol) and sneakers to work every day!

Ok well I'd better pick my poisons and hop to my work out!

BBIAB!

 

[rmrmr]

Hi Ladies,

I've decided on HSTA for this morning and am looking forward to all those step ups! I'll add on some ab work, either my own or cathe.

Lori-sorry about the rough night. Perhaps you should nix the cardio for a couple days....is that even possible for you??? ITA w/Wendy, Real Estate is commission only and in the states they get between 4%-6%. My agents have gone back to other jobs since the mortgage industry crashed several years ago.

Wendy-Yay, you finally took a rest day. I figured you'd squeak in some yoga anyway. Sounds like your PT plans have all fallen into place. I'm so happy for you and a bit jealous too. We simply could not get by on one income right now. At some point we would like to be in a position to put one of our incomes into savings and live on the other. With a current student loan for DS2 and impending college loans for DS3 we just haven't been able to get there. For me, doing the part time classes would be perfect way to enter that field and still support the family. Oh, have fun at the concert tonight!!

Laura-I'll be back to see what kind torture you have planned for you and SIL today!

[Poochy]

TGIF!!! wooohooo!

MOrning Ladies!!!

Had to go back to eye dr ystdy more steroid and antibiotic drops ... ggggrrrrrrr .. and lay off contact wear again .. although I have them on now . . forgot my glasses .. ooopppps .. and I cant see at all w/o lenses or glasses .. my script is -6.0 ... if you dont know that is BAD - legally blind ..

I was dizzy .. and got really nauseous I only ran 3 miles .. and it wasnt pretty or fun! but it was a workout at least - even tho it was 1/2 arse !

Lori - do they know what causes your lung/chest problem .. that is odd! and sounds painfull - does it feel like pressure or actual pain??? wow .. terrible!!! hope it is better today .. maybe you should rest today! and dont get me started on real-estate agencies - they are like insurance agencies imo - take take take - and do NOTHING! You could luck up and get a good agressive agent maybe!! one that would bust their butts to sell and make money .. but there are some here that do NOTHING ... good luck!!!

DI - I know lulu is expensive - but the fit and the wear of the clothes OMG .. is just unbeatable! you will be hooked! PLUS they last and dont shrink - or get bent out of shape in the wash - I know when i workout hard the LAST thign I want is to be wearing something uncomfortable .. or that binds or pinches or knots up or creates blisters or chaffing .. lulu is awesome and sooooo comfy to workout in!

[Fit_mommy]

Hey.

No time for personals but wanted to report my work out atleast!

This morning before my appt I did the Yoga Only Premix (43m) from Kundalini Cardio Stretch & Strengthen. After my appt and lunch I did Iron Core Way kettlebell work outs 1 and 2 but only did half of each. She goes thru 1 circuit 2x in each work out so I went thru the circuits 1 time each instead. Then I added on one round of manmakers from KBYW2. Turned out to be about 50 minutes long and a great work out. I could be hurtin' tmrw!

Gotta scram...chances are good I won't be back until tmrw now!
Have good one ladies and Happy Friday!!!

Later!

 

[gidget1978]

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. I think my mil is cooking dinner....she's probably getting tired of feeding me by now

Wendy** hope you had a good night with DH. I will admit that I was a little jealous. Wish I was somewhere with my DH. Oh well...thats all I can do. His weekend shouldn't be as crazy cause last week he was trying to study for that mid term!

Diana** I guess you are busy with football this weekend? Ah.... Your days of chasing kids around will soon be over. It's a double edged sword, isn't it? I think I just need to suck up the real estate fees! I thought it was a bit much. Normally I don't get taken back by stuff like that, mainly cause I usually think the worst and hope for the best. My worst would have never been that many zeros!

Laura** I didn't know you were having eye issues again! And you ran and couldnt see well???? Your crazy! Not even I would do that! Lol

I will bbl to report my workout

Lori

 

[Fit_mommy]

Good Morning. Happy Saturday!

The concert last night was fun. We went to see Motley Crue and Kiss. I am more familiar with MC's music so I enjoyed that show better but it was neat seeing Gene Simmons live dressed in character with the band after watching his show. Can't even tell it's him. So wierd! And he's 62 years old and still touring and performing!!!! I hope I have that kind of energy in my 60's damnit! Oh and it was really cool - MC set up a steel track in loop formation on the stage and secured the drum set to it. The drummer had a special chair and harness that he put on and the drum set moved around the loop at certain points while he was playing! He was playing the drums while hanging upside down! Then they picked someone from the audience, strapped her into a chair behind the drummer on the track and she went for a ride WITH him! Very entertaining performace!

I have a slight headache this morning...I only drank 4 beers all night. Wouldn't think that would cause me trouble but I guess it is. Oh well. Hopefully it goes away soon. It's not bad. Just annoying.

DH went to a local bowling alley this morning to get one of his balls re-drilled or something. When he's done we are going to meet for breakfast at a restaraunt right next door to the alley. That means BAD FOOD but I gotta do it once in a while coz it's soooooo good!

Not sure when, but I do intend to exercise today. The goal is Insanity Pure Cardio or a run.

Lori:: Aww I'm sorry I made you feel worse about DH not being around. I didn't mean to. You are more then half way through it. Just hang in there a little bit longer!!!!! You can do it! You seem like one tough cookie...just like Mindy!

Ok well I need to go throw clothes on. Gotta leave to meet DH in a few minutes...BBL with a work out to report I hope!

Ciao!

 

[rmrmr]

Hi Ladies,

Yay, no football for me this weekend! Since games were on Thursday & Friday, my weekend is free! Varsity and JV both lost their games to a team that is not very good....and we should've won. DS didn't play in Varsity game but did great in the JV game. He had recovered a fumble!

I'm making a To-Do list to help me get all my stuff done. I'll spend too much time on the computer if I don't. I'm hoping to do Legs/Cardio and abs, but have decided on which w/o's yet.

Laura-you poor thing, I can't imagine having so many eye issues. I've gone to using reading glasses when needed but glasses are definitely a pain. Hope you get it under control soon. Not sure how you can work when your eyes are dilated though....and you went running in the sun too. Wow, guess you really wanted to get that run in! Lulu must be worth it since so many people rave about, but is just ssssooo expensive. Like I said, at some point I will buy a pr. of capri's just to see what all the fuss is about.

Lori-I need your mom to come over and do some cleaning at my house. Heck, I only pull out the refrigerator about every 3 months and vacuum the coils etc. This weekend I'm going through at least the 2 upstairs bathrooms and cleaning out the crap....most of it is probably mine. You know half used lotion bottles, cosmetics or stuff that I just don't use. I hope to get down to only having only what I use and cleaning off the vanity tops. I have jewelry box on one that I don't wear any of the jewelry, perhaps I should sell that etc.
Be happy your MIL is feeding you, it gives her something to do and allows you to spend more time with your family. You past the halfway mark....and on the downhill slide!!!

Wendy-my little sister would be so jealous of you. I like MC, but she is an all out fan of rock/heavy metal etc! Glad you had a great time at the concert....the headache is probably from the loud music and not the beer. Enjoy your breakfast today, nothing wrong with a splurge here and there. Nice w/o yesterday by the way...so did you have to dust of your KB's before you could use them!

I'll bbl to report my progress!

 

[Fit_mommy]

Out n about with DH so posting from my phone. I did Pure Cardio this morning!

Lol Diana. I sure did need to dust off my bells but I think I will add them into my rotation now that they are clean!

K thats all for now. BBL for more though.

 

[gidget1978]

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. 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.....

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!

Wendy** I'm surprised Gene is still alive! Lol. Can you imagine the drugs they've used over the years. They've been extremely hard on their bodies. They were here last summer but I didn't go see them. I was working anyway but it's still not my kind of music. I did watch them from my work window board their private jet though. Got my binoculars out and watched them. I think it was raining pretty hard and they got right out of the car, right into the plane. Shannon was with him, I think that's when they were going though a rough patch. She is originally from here! Bet you didn't know that. Sounds like you had a nice evening! I will forgive you for spending time with your husband while I am home alone

Diana** oh my moms bathroom is full of half used bottles of stuff! It's crazy!!! I purposely make it a task to empty bottles if I find any but b/c I usually empty them, I rarely find any. Must be nice to have a weekend with no schedule. We don't have any plans today and it's kind of nice. My mil is going away so thre probably won't be any dinner plans but I'm ok with that.

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

Lori

 

[rmrmr]

Hi Ladies,

Well yesterday didn't go quite as planned, but my house is completely cleaned. DS1 and I took care of it in no time. I didn't have a chance to clean out the vanities like I wanted...oh well. Instead, I went and drove a 2013 Ford Explorer and Ford Escape! They were both very nice. DH has been driving the Focus we took over when my step mom passes. It gets great gas mileage but is just too small. DH has been driving it since I don't really care for it. Eventually I would like to get a smaller SUV, like the Escape but that won't be happening for a while. Just the same, they were fun to drive!

No workout yesterday...out driving new cars...so it's legs/ab/cardio today. I don't have any specific workouts in mind so I'll just pick something when I get downstairs.

Last night I made peanut butter/chocolate chip cookies. I only indulged in 2 of them, but also had 2 mojito's!! Feeling a little puffy today and am looking forward to a sweatfest.

Wendy-nice job with PC!!! I'm getting better each time, but it still takes my breath away...or perhaps that's just Shaun T. Good for you for adding KB's back into your rotation!

Lori-It's not too much on the hair to color again so soon....1 day later??? Hope DD likes the new color. I've gone to getting hilites/lowlites to cover a few grays...UGH...I do not like these grays coming in. This mention of AB has me thinking perhaps a few weeks of the Low Impact series would be good. Perhaps you should tell your client that weight watchers has changed considerably in the last 20 years...even in the last 2 years. I understand her though....wanting to go back to what has worked in the past. Keep in mind that her metabolism is probably much different now that it was 20 years ago.

Laura-hope you are having a fabulous weekend!

bbl

 

[Fit_mommy]

Good Afternoon Ladies.

I'm drinking coffee trying to wake up after a nap. I think I slept TOO long. UGH.

I'm going to do my work out in a few...going to be another kettlebell work out just like I had promised Diana yesterday!

This morning was CCD, Church and a quick stop at the food store. By the time we got home it was time for lunch, then my nap and now here I am! This day and the whole weekend just FLEW by! That means that my interview is going to be here before I know it! *gulp*

Y'day's breakfast was super yummy but I barely made a dent in it! Waaaay too much food! It was two sausage biscuits with gavy on top, hashbrowns, bacon and a bowl of fruit (fruit was subbed in for eggs since I don't eat them). I ate most of the 2 bisuits, a piece of bacon, a few pieces of fruit and a couple bites of the hashbrowns. That's all I could muster without making myself feel gross. It was not a healthy breakfast so I'm glad I didn't want to clean my plate. When I eat french toast or pancakes (which aren't healthy either when you get them out!), I tend to gobble down the whole thing and then I feel guilty....

Going to try my hand at making soup today as part of dinner. Here's the recipe if anyone is interested (Diana!) - Classic Butternut Squash Soup | Whole Foods Market
DH will be grilling steak and lobster for DS and himself and I will have a piece of chicken or fish. We are having broccolli rabbe and mashed potatoes too. YUM.

Diana:: Glad SOMEBODY'S house is clean! Mine will be clean again once I send the boys back to work and school tmrw. Glad you had fun on your test drives. Test driving makes me sooo nervous! I really don't enjoy it but buying a new car in general is super exciting! Speaking of cars...mine need to be washed badly! It also needs an oil change! Two things I can do this week! The cookies you made sound good! We have a bag of p/b cookie mix and a bag of hersheys kisses in the house. DH and DS are supposed to make the cookies and stick a kiss in the middle of each one! OMG YUM! But like you, I will only have 1 or 2. Hope you enjoyed your work out - whatever you chose to do!!!

Lori:: LMAO @ the binoculars comment when KISS was there! You groupie you! I agree with Diana. WW has changed a lot. Heck, it changed from when I did actively lost weight on it to now! I lost the weight between April and August of 2011 and they unveiled changes to the program in January of 2012! What works today for a person may not work tmrw. I know this quite well as I tried to repeat past weight loss successes doing things I'd already done but alas they didn't work the next time around. It's a constant battle to find what works and what doesn't. This I know for sure!

Ok well I better get my arse in gear for my work out now!

BBL or ITAM!

 

[gidget1978]

Good Morning

Yesterday was a pretty laid back day. I did AB and 35 mins on the tm. I cleaned a few of the rooms but not the whole house. It was so muggy here that when I was cleaning I started sweating! I hate when that happens so I stopped. My mom cleaned the floors in the living room and kitchen last week but you'd never know it now. Kids coming in with no shoes on makes for a lot of smudges.

I think today I will be doing the GS...not all of them but whatever I can get done before the girl I am training comes over. She originally started with 2x's a week, then by Friday evening she was asking me if we could do 3x's a week and then last night she sends me a text and ask me if we could do 5x's a week. It's a good thing she could only afford twice a week It wouldnt be any different then if I took on some other people. So now I willbe training two people which I think is enough with everything else I have going on. Then after lunch I will do cardio. I was thinking a run outside but it's raining right now, it may be cleared up by then.

Last night a friend stopped in. She was out for a walk and said she was walking by so she stopped in cause she may be moving in 3 weeks or so. She just sold her home and she told me that she was charged 2.5%! Ok...so what gives? I think real estate charge military and RCMP more b/c they/we get reimbursed the % you have to pay the real estate company. But not for the FIRST house we sell. I had already been in contact with this other real estate agency, I just need to ask when percentage they charge. DH should know tomorrow what areas are available. It's exciting but nerve wrecking at the same time!

Diana** ohhhh....shopping for new wheels is so much fun!! When are you thinking about buying? Well when I went to school adding hair color wasn't a big deal. It might have changed some by now. I thought for sure her hair was going to grab the color but it didn't. Even after the 2nd color it didn't seem much darker. I will be sending her to someone the next time. She might need something added to her blonde so it takes the brown better. We had chinesse food last night for dinner and I can relate to the puffiness!! That stuff is so high in sodium, I wouldn't dare step on the scale.

Wendy** old habits die hard I guess. Do you remember when 18 points was all you were given? That must have seemed like poverty and that's why she can't wrap her head around 29 points a day. I would say her metabolism is down to her boots with all the yoyo dieting she's done. And her niece is going to be just like her. They lose a bit of weight, they gain it back. At least she didn't gain all of the weight she lost last year. People just don't get it. You can't go back to your old eating patterns. Speaking of....sausage and gravy? I wish there as a green icon here. GROSS! But I don't like sausage so putting gravy on it makes it even less appealing. DH use to want to go out for breakfast when he was here but I couldnt be bothered. I'd rather just eat at home. Your dinner sounded yummy though!

I will bbl to report my workout! My sister arrives tomorrow afternoon!!!

Lori

 

[Fit_mommy]

Good Morning!

Well the soup I made last night was delicious!

Today is interview day so wish me luck!

Today's work out plan is a run and yoga...

Lori:: Um, GS in full is 3 hours of pretty intense lifting!!! You wouldn't really ever attempt to do it all in one day...WOULD YOU??? You said you charge $25/hr to train. My SIL is charging atleast DOUBLE that and her clients are still getting a deal when you compare it to the cost of training in a gym!!!! I didn't know WW only gave you 18 points at one time. Was that when the points program was first introduced or something? I never used the program before last year. My sister used it back when it was all just based on calories and lost alot of weight. This was after the birth of baby #2 and she looked great! Speaking of WW..I am going to have to buckle down at some point before the holidays to get these extra few pounds off. The last thing I want to do is ADD to it over Thanksgiving/Christmas/New Year's!!!! OMG- you don't have to tell me about a house looking like you never cleaned it! If I lived alone I swear the house would be spotless most of the time but between the dog, the hamster, a 7 year old and a husband, I can't catch a break! If I am not CONSTANTLY on top of everything then "clean" disappears pretty darn fast.

That's all for now but I'll be back!

 

[Fit_mommy]

I'm home from the gym. I ran 5k and worked upper and lower abs. Good stuff. When I got home though I discovered that one of the blisters that I got at the concert on Friday night started to bleed at some point during my run so I had a red sock and a red shoe. Booh!

 

[gidget1978]

Hi Girls,

Half of my workout done... I should have clarified...GS UB...not ALL the GS's Not that I wouldn't attempt it if I was left alone. I went a bit heavier this time for some of the exercises. I managed to do all 3 sets of shoulder presses with 20 lbs db's. It was pretty tough near the end.

Wendy** I know they charge more in some bigger areas but that's all I'm going to get around here...which still isn't bad when it's money in my pocket. I think that was the original point range, 18-21 I can't imagine! Good luck today! I meant to say that earlier!!!!

BBL to report my run!

Lori

 

[Fit_mommy]

Hello!

I am back from the interview! It went well and the job is mine for the taking but I fear the hours just aren't workable for me right now. I will, though, be getting back in touch with them to interview for a PT position once I am certified! I really liked the manager I interviewed with so it gave me a really good feeling about the place.

Lori:: Half of your work out is done huh? So what...you worked out for 1.5 hrs this morning and will do the other 1.5 hours this afternoon? Oh wait, sorry. You said GS UB only so that's 2 hours, not three so you did 1 hour this morning w/ one more hour to go? Full upper body work outs that are meant to be a split are crazy hard! I've done it ala' CTX and 4DS!

BBL!

HOUSE WORK .. and computer problems .. and more BS DRAMA FRI night just never ends .. my house has been neglected .. I need to get in some monotonous detailed cleaning .. like corners - window and CLOSETS (aka: clothes) ugh would rather take a beating!

AU almost pullled out a win SAT night .. such a great ball game .. we almost beat #2 LSU .... SOOOO proud of our team!! wasnt a win .. only lost by 2 points ..but it FEELS like a win!! b/c NO ONE thought we would score much less do that well and be down to final seconds

Lori - WW is a good program .. but has changed a LOT even in last year .. but if the client wants to do it .. reccommend her to get online and join .. the whole plan is there .. and all the tools she needs .. that takes a bit off your back!~ cant imagine running after AB .. shoot I am DONE after AB!!! LOL

Di - doncha love the new car smell! and test driving a new one only makes the WANT that much harder!!!! hey send your DS1 to my house .. i need some help on my housework .. LOL

Hi Ladies,

DH overslept which means I overslept too! I woke up to the sound of little kids walking to school.... Normally I just wake up when DH is in the shower...with the radio on...but since he didn't get up...well neither did I ....nor Jerod for that matter. Needless to say no workout was done this morning.

I'm heading to the rec ctr for C&T. I'm considering changing things up for a couple weeks and doing circuits/straight cardio every other day. I dunno though....I just wish Wendy would keep her exercise ADD to herself! The weight tends to come off quicker with circuits and I'm able to maintain some of the muscle which is important to me right now. Who knows, I may change my mind any second!

Wendy-congrats on the awesome interview. Did you ask them if they could work with your schedule? Since they like you, they may be more flexible with the schedule. Glad to hear the good reviews on the soup, it looked delicious...DH doesn't like squash, pumpkin...or any other kind of gourd. I may make it anyway since I think the boys will eat it...and it's so healthy. Hope the blister heals quickly!

Lori-You crazy girl..at least we know where to find you...in your basement working out! I love the GS series, especially the UB....biceps/shoulders/triceps especially. Real Estate agents can double up on their commission if they are working both sides of the deal. Call around or look online to see the going commission rates in your area...or better yet...become a real estate agent and sell your own house and make commission to boot! That's what my SIL did when they sold their nearly $2 million dollar custom house.

Laura-happy early birthday to you. Give yourself a bit of a break, you've been on the go a lot this summer, bad new with side business, sick dog, health scare etc. I need to get back on the clean eating bandwagon too. I eat pretty good most of the time and WW helps me keep from overeating.

....well I need to head over to the rec ctr if I'm going...afternoon is full of meetings again. bbl
