Control the Damage in the NeW YeAR!

Good Morning:)

Not sure what today's workout will be yet. Probably a S/B/T day but I don't know what else. We don't have any plans to do anything.

Wendy** sounds like you had a good day with BFF. Was she successful??

Ill bbl to report my workout!

Lori:)
 
Hi Ladies,

My legs are a bit sore from piloxing I'm sure. We did a ton of fire walkers and all angles of leg lifts with tubing. Also all the duck & punches fried the legs. The studio we used has ballet barre and mirrors on 2 sides of the room. Our "duck unders" had to be below the level of the bar, and using the mirror allowed us to punch in the right place, chin, temple etc.

Bi/Tris is on the agenda but I wanted to switch that Legs. I like having the shorter w/o's on a workday and doing the longer ones on the weekend. Now that my legs sore, guess it's upper body. My running partner is coming over today and we may even go for a short run.

Went to the movies and saw Parker last night. Jason Statham, yum!

Wendy-was the shopping trip successful? I want/need some new clothes, but first need to get off this fluff, and clean out my closet. I'm making it a bigger chore than it is. Just need to buckle down and do it.

Lori-Enjoy your day, whatever you do.

Hello Ladies.

Today's work out was the floor only cardio premix from xtrain low impact hiit and 30m of yoga for the warrior.

Not following any specific rotation this week. I will just be happy to work out..No matter what it might be! Lol

The shopping trip with bff was a success. We were shopping for dresses for her and her niece. Nothing purchased yet but they both found things that they liked.

I am on my phone so no personals tonite but hopefully tmrw!!!!

Getting to bed early tonight! Getting pretty nervous for tmrw now!!!

Have a great night....I am off to try and relax with a little wine...
 
Morning...

Ok, well despite a horrid night's sleep (if you wanna call it that-it was only a few hours... :( ), I got up at 4:30 when my alarm went off and have been sucking down java ever since trying to decide what work out to ATTEMPT to do! :eek:

BBL!
 
Good morning guys:)

Yesterday, I did a 35 minute jog and XT chest shoulders & back.

This morning, I did Les Mills Combat 60 live Ultimate Warrior workout, freaking awesome:cool:
 
Hi Ladies,

Today will be GS Legs. I'm in need of some traditional leg work and GS fits the bill nicely. Tonight is my class. In order to make my gym membership worth the cost, I need to go to the gym at least 6 times per month in addition to my bootcamp classes. Trying to fit that in is a bit challenging. It also takes me a away from my family. It was easier when I could hit the gym by my work at lunch. It didn't impact my family.

My friend and I are all signed up for the rugged 5k obstacle course on May 11th. The HM is the following weekend on May 19th. The first Tri is in June and the second is in August. The last thing on our list is the Venus De Miles bike ride on September 29th. It's nice to have these summer goals to work towards.

Wendy-Happy First Day of Work!!! I saw on FB that you did the first Z w/o. How long was it and what did you think?

Lori-so what did w/o did you decide to do? Happy Birthday to Stephen. Oh, and never say never...or final.:D

Laura-hope all the stress over DB has settled. Hugs and prayers to your family.

Jacque-How did you spend your weekend?

TG-What about you, did you do anything fun over the weekend?

bbl​
 
Diane: I didn't do much I had a few drinks with friends that's bout it.:rolleyes: NO grandkids or NO babies:) Altho, they wanted to come over but I didn't want to take the chances of them getting sick, still have a cough and I know me I love kissing my GK. Maybe this weekend:)
 
Good Morning:)

Yesterday we decided to go on a RT and we didn't make it very far. Well...we drove for about 2 hours but made it to the next town which was only 20 mins away or so:mad:. We were suppose to be going to the closet shopping place, that was about 1.5 hrs away. We didn't see the sign for the turn off and we kept driving straight:confused:. By the time we got back to the place we were suppose to turn off at, we would have had another hour or driving ahead of us. So we didn't go. It was a waste of a day but still nice to get out of the house.

We went out for lunch and I felt awful after. I guess I'm not use to eating a heavier lunch and it wasn't even that heavy. I ordered the spinach dip and a salad. The dip was a appetizer and everyone else dug in so it's not like I ate it alone but I felt gross after.

Last night I got my workout in. I did 45 mins on the TM, ctx S/B/T and abs. I'm not sure what I will do today. DS is home from school cause he has the cold.

My baby is one today! Holy smokes!!! It's crazy how fast that year went by. I know I wished most of it away being home alone but I guess you can't blame me there.

Diana** that's a pretty full workout schedule! Not even I could pull that one off!:eek: was your gym membership that much? That's how I feel about the PT. If I work full time, which I need right now, and I PT on the weekends and some evenings...when is it exactly I see my kids and workout myself? And yours are older but they still need you. Mine has homework, reading,pampers...they just need me in general. Ah, I'm sure ill figure it out. I'll worry about finding a job first:p how are your legs today??? Thanks for the birthday wishes!

TG** nice workout. You guys are almost making me wanna buy this les set but I'm not doing it!:p I buy different things but I always just pull cathe out. Now I do have a couple different ones that I enjoy but that's rare.

Wendy** you must have those d*mn butterflies in your belly today! I don't know if I'll have those if I get the dealership job but I will with the other job cause I think I'm left alone. I noticed the other day that there was a casual position opening as which I'm guessing is weekend and evenings. Wondered how that worked. Have fun at work!!!

Laura** we miss you!!! Hope everything is ok!

Jacque** how was your weekend??? It's Monday again!:p at some point in time I'll get to hate Mondays too

I'll bbl to report my workout
 
MON

Hello Ladies!

OK - back at work - has been a very stressful an on edge whirlwind since 6:00 a.m. friday morning .. Long story short - my DB fell 20 - 30 ft from a climbing tree stand - he had just got to the top and the strap broke - luckily his gun was on the ground - and luckily the ground was a softer marshy ground instead of our usual clay - lucky that he is fit - thick and muscular (prbly helped protect his spine) luckily DH was home to help SIL - it is a miracle he wasnt killed or paralyzed - he is in a lot of pain - and will have a long recovery - but hey I will take that any day - he is with us and goign to be ok! :) thanks for the thoughts and prayers! He is at home - and SIL is with him - we have cooked and people have been bringing food - he has to have help getting up and cant get around good - and on top of all this SIL grandmother died :( OMG .. poor thing ... I swear I just feel for her ...

Wendy - Good luck today - WELCOME BACK TO THE WORKING WORLD - it is great to have a job .. but Mondays still suck :confused: :p:p

Lori - sorry for the homesickness - and HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the little one .. that baby cant be a year old already ????????? :confused: give him a kiss for me ;)

Di - Man you have your training cut out for you for all those events? YIKES ... I dont see how you do all that!!!!

Jacque - hope all is well with you!

They are doing a Biggest Looser contest here at work - sooo there should be HEALTHY snacks in the breakroom for a while :p it tickles me .. there is always cakes and cookies and all kinds of fattening snacks .. but now that most eveyrone is on this diet .. bet those goodies wont be around anymore!! :p:p

OK .. not sure what today will bring .. it needs to bring a workout .. LOL ... havea great one!
 
Hey Girls:)

Waiting to put the little guy to bed. He only had one nap today and I'm waiting for 7 to roll around. There's something about putting him to bed before 7 that makes me nervous. 9 mins to go! :D

So the lady from the dealership called today. She wants me to come back in and watch some more cause they want to make sure that I have a understanding of what they do:mad: AYKM!? Seriously...you answer phones, got it, you do some paper work, got that too, you answer the phones...yep..got it. Why do I have to sit there and watch something that I might never do? I told her I would come back in on wed afternoon for a couple of hours. In the meantime, the guy who is training DH called and said that his wife informed him that they need someone at her work. I emailed her my résumé right away and within a couple of hours her manager had called and she wants me to come in on Thursday for a interview. I think this job is higher paying and it's a good company to work for. The fact that I don't have to go back into the dealership on wed afternoon, gives me time to see what the other job is all about.

My workout today was interrupted a few times by phone calls and resume sending and I kind of lost track of what I wanted to do. I ended up doing 20 mind on the TM, 30/30, GS and xtrain chest work.

Laura** oh my goodness...you guys must have been beside yourselves! Holy smokes! So is this the SIL you workout with? Glad to hear he is going to be ok. Your right, it could have been a hell of a lot worse. Even being paralyzed...anything can happen when you fall that far! I wonder how king the clean eating kick will last. The guy who lives here kills me. He thinks things are healthy when they aren't. He will eat a healthy breakfast and then a full pizza. It's bizarre. That's like dh was saying at work that one of the officers that get off at 6 a.m decide to workout before she goes home b/c they have a gym. He said she was doing hops up and down the hall, like in the cathe DVDs (we usually do 12) She said she had to do 560! Lol I said "what about her knees"? He said "well that's just it...people don't have a clue" and I'm starting to believe it. She didn't do all of them and her shins were killing her the next day. Shocker!!

I may check back in later. Dh is working tonight!

Lori:)
 
Good Morning. :)

Slept better last night but still wasn't thrilled when the alarm went off at 4:30. :p

Y'day's work out was the first of the Zcut series.

Today will be a premix of one of the X-Train leg work outs.

First day on the job was good despite the sleep deprivation. They kept me busy all day so it was much easier to deal with. :) I didn't even go out to my car for a NAP at lunch time, Lori!!!!:p At my old job I would have been counting the minutes until I could nap over lunch and also would have face planted on the keyboard 20 times by the end of the day b/c I was so bored most of the time! :rolleyes:

Lori:: Wow, I would NOT want to work for the dealership. That's crazy! NOBODY does what this woman is doing! Sounds like she doesn't have a clue how to make hiring decisions or something. I wouldn't want that job. Sounds like she'll be a PITA and her hiring procedures are ridiculous! :eek::rolleyes::mad: Good luck with the interview on Thursday! Sounds like it could be a much better prospect for you! :)

Ok I apologize but I am out of time. I will get back here later to finish personals....:cool:
 
Good Morning:)

I am watching a friends little girl today. It's one of the moms I met last week. Her husband is a way and she is a sub teacher. I told her if she needed any help to let us know. She got called in for a shift and bed sitter wasn't available so she asked if I could watch her. She's around 16 months....hopefully they will both take a nap at the same time.

I will either wait until the nap to work or wait until the kids go to bed tonight. That would probably be the better idea cause dh is working again and we have dinner early. It should be digested by the time the baby goes to bed.....but my legs always feel like led in the evenings.

Wendy** no nap?? And your getting up even earlier?? Did you have a nap after dinner?:p My old job was boring too. I use to have naps there all the time on the weekends when no one was around. And when I was pregnant it was the worst cause I was tired all the time. I do remember lying in the chair a few times in the middle of the day. The dealership situations is a little different, no doubt about that. I feel like saying "I understand what she does!" I don't know if she is trying to get feed back from the front girl what our eagerness to learn is like. She's looking at it as "now you interview us". Maybe she has had a lot of people quit on her in the past and she wants to know that I have a full understanding. I'm hoping she will be gone by the time 5 rolls around, dh goes to work at 6 so I don't have a lot of time for chit chat. I'm guessing then that she will make up her mind on Thursday once she talks to the front desk girl again.

I will bbl. I won't have a whole lot to do while I'm watching kids play!

Lori:)
 
Morning:D

Wake up a bit late this morning:eek: so I was unable to get in my 20/30 minute run in, arrghhh But, I did do my scheduled workout which was ..........wait for it.......XT biceps and triceps:cool: my upper body is talking to me especially after doing Les Mills workout. Man oh man, this dude is a beasts; never seen anyone work so hard. He makes me want to give my best, so, I go hard too :confused: BBL
 
TUE

Morning Ladies ..

No workout to report .. went home tending to DB then DH (had bad day at work) .. planning on going to CC and doing heavy weights at lunch .. then SIL and I are gonna do Combat 60 tonight .. think we both need some cardio and stress relief!!

Lori - yes this is the SIL that I work out with - I only have my ONE brother!! but I guess I do have other SIL ... LOL .. but I only mention this one .. but she is really more life a BFF and sister than a SIL to me!! OK .. I am like Wendy wondering WTH is up w/the dealership boss ... strange ... hoping the other interview is a better fit and you get it!!

Wendy - glad you had an awesome first day .. and didnt even want to fall asleep on the job :eek: I am impressed!!! LOLOLOLOL .. so tell me what you think about ZCUTs .. I have mine just have not done them yet ..

Hello to DI and Jacque

gotta jet .. on the counter and we are kinda busy .. have a great one!!!
 
Hello Ladies. :)

Day #2 went well but my feet are killing me!:eek: I stood up doing my job for 6 hours today! Stupid? Yeah, I'd say it was! :rolleyes: I will NOT being making THAT mistake again! Once my feet start to hurt, into the chair I go! :p

Lori:: Happy Birthday to DS2!:D Sorry I'm a day late with the wishes!

Di/Laura:: The Z work out did was about 35 minutes b/c it included the w/u, c/d and half of the ab routine. The ACTUAL work out was only 10 minutes though! I liked it. It's class Zuzanna. :)

Laura:: I read something on FB about a hunting accident that your DB had! OMG, I'm sooo sorry but man it's so great that he didn't get injured worse and is expected to fully recover!!!! Somebody was watching over him! :)

TG:: Great work out! Happy DOMS'ing tmrw!;)

Di:: Wow, you have a lot of tough races lined up this summer! You go girl! :D Tell me about it being hard to get to the job when ya work f/t. That's why I never joined a gym until I got laid off! :p If DH was still going w/regularity we could go together and it would be motivation for me but he's been a MAJOR slacker lately! Couple that with the new job and FUGGEDABOUTIT! :p I'm thinking of letting the membership go but I really wanna keep running. WAAAAH! :( I know what you're going to say-dump the membership and run outside right? Wrong! LOL I won't. I am not an outdoor runner. I do it but I prefer the TM unless I am training for a race and I am not interested in racing at this time so like I was saying...........WAAAHHHHHHH! LOL :p
 
Hi Ladies,

Bootcamp was tough last night: running, weighted walking lunges around the track, squat w/oh press around the track, running stairs etc. My shoulders are fried!

This morning I tackled To The Max. I know it's not on the rotation, but I feel comfortable subbing Xtrain cardio for whatever I want to do. Tomorrow calls for Burn Sets Bi's & Tri's. I would be doing this w/o twice before hitting C/S/B. Guess it's just the sequencing in the Undulating rotation.

There are a couple classes at the rec ctr I'm toying with going to tonight. One is BodyStep at 6:30 and the other is Boxing at 7:45. Not sure how DH will feel if I'm gone more than my 2 scheduled nights/week.

Wendy-glad the job seems to be working out as well as can be expected for only being the second day.:D Goodness, what were you doing on your feet for 6 hours, filing and copying? Thanks for the update on the Z w/o. I wish my DH would at least come to the rec ctr with me on my class nights and use the elliptical or walk on the TM. With Joey participating in sports now, well that cuts into your gym time too. I totally understand.

Lori-You are a saint, babysitting a 16 mo old in addition to taking care of you own kiddos! You are obviously much nicer and have more patience than I. Hope the job you just applied for works out for you. Not sure what the dealership is up to, but you have other options if that's not a good fit for you. My gym membership was $300/year. I purchased it during their annual pass sale.

Laura-glad you are getting back to your normal schedule. It will probably be a nice stress reliever for SIL too. Sending healing vibes to your DB.

TG-for waking up late you still got in a good workout! You must be talking about combat.:D

Jacque-where are you girl...remember us...your NY's resolution....keep up your checkin's with us...are you convinced???:eek: Check in when you can, you know where to find us!:p

Had an IPL laser treatment today and my face feels like it's sunburned.

Hey Girls:)

My day went very well with the little ones. She doesn't know me and I thought she was going to cry when her mom left but she didn't. She also didn't cry when she woke from her nap. Nothing worse then waking up from a nap and not knowing where you are...not that that's happened to me..lol. I have woke up not knowing what day it was. So I can only imagine what it must be like for a little one who wakes up in a strange room with strangers around. She was really good though.

When she was taking a nap I did GS and xtrain shoulders and bics. When the baby went t bed tonight I did 25 mins on the TM, 20 mins tabata spin and 20 mins threshold ladders on the spin bike. Basically it's 10 sec hard, 50 easier,20 sec hard, 40 easier and so on until your get to 50/10 and then you have to work your way back down. My legs were on fire. I think tomorrow will be a run mixed in with cardio legs.

Laura** happy to her you gals are still getting your workouts in despite last weeks ordeals. But I bet it makes you both feel a lot better. DH isn't in love with the night shifts. I remember you talking about your dh being crabby after nights...lol.

Wendy** so what did you have in your feet all day? I have to say...I'm not liking this being all alone while the rest of you are off working!!! I have no one to talk to me!

TG** nice workout even though you slept in!

Diana** that's not bad for a year I guess. When you think about it, it isn't a dollar a day. Works great for people who only go to the gym and that's it. But we have so many great workouts to choose from at home. I wouldn't want to make child care my full time job by no means but I don't mind helping out when someone needs it. We are all in the same boat...no family around to help us out. It's going to take a while to get use to and you never know when I might need a favor.

Alright, I will be back in the morning!

Lori:)
 
Hi Ladies,

Didn't sleep too well last night. I'm don't feel like I have much strength, but should probably go get busy on Burn Sets Bi's & Tri's.

I just threw ham & beans into the crockpot for dinner tonight. It's the leftover ham/bone from Christmas. It's been in the freezer and it's time we used. We are spending way too much money on food. I need to go through our indoor and outdoor freezers and come up with some meal plans to use what we already have.

Lori-glad the little girl was good for you. Your spin w/o sounds brutal. I may use some of the cycle w/o's for my tri-training. It's nice having the downloads. Although I discovered the downloads don't have the menu or premixes, it's just the w/o as produced. You have to use the w/o blender to create your own premixes.

Procastinating.....bbl
 
Good Morning:)

I think today's workout is gonna be cardio legs and a run mixed in. Also leaning towards a UB part...just not sure which one, back or tris.

All I have planned for today is to go to the dealership again at 2:30:confused:. I'm looking forward to tomorrow morning more...then that might end up being a bust depending on the wages!

Bbl
Lori:)
 
afternoon,


Honestly, I did not feel like working out this morning or coming to work. We (my family) got bad news yesterday regarding my nieces. Yesterday, we found out she's definately brain dead and now with only 6 days left to pull the plug. My brother only child, can you imagine?


Any who, going to take today and try to regroup see you guys tomorrow.
