Control the Damage in the NeW YeAR!

Good Afternoon. :)

Today's work out was the Hip Thruster Challenge, 125 weighted walking lunges, Combat's Lower Body Lean Out (I just really wanted to try it!:p) and the Calm Down Dog yoga practice to stretch out a bit...

I am going to count today as a Combat rotation day with substitutions made for the originally scheduled work outs (Power HiiT and the Combat Stretch) so tmrw I will resume with the next work outs on the schedule which are Combat Kickstart and Core Attack (another I haven't tried yet!).

TG:: Great job with your CC work out! You got something done and that's what counts! ;)

Lori:: Sorry your work outs haven't arrived yet. Neither has my phone!:( I posted about THAT whole fiasco on FB. I better get it by Monday!!!!!:mad: I'm glad to hear that both DD and DS are doing well at their new schools. You are lucky your DD is outgoing. As a teen, if I had to switch schools I would just die! :eek: Little ones are more resiliant though and make friends easier so I'm not surprised that DS was ok with it as well!

Diana:: Hope you enjoyed Cardio Legs today! Have fun packing-ugh-I hate it!!!!:rolleyes: TY re the anniversary congrats! :) We are very excited to get away on this trip! Sorry the scale is stagnant right now but I'm sure if you stick with the plan that it will get moving again soon! :)

BBL!:cool:
 
Hi y'all,

Didn't make it back y'day and thank goodness payroll went well today so no working at home tonight ! :p

This morning I did Hard Strikes with my weighted gloves and added on Core #1. I worked up a good sweat - must be really out of shape. Loved the Core work !

TG - Good to hear you are doing better! My legs were tired y'day while doing Cardio Legs but I wasn't sore this morning at all. All in all it was a great toning workout for me. I think Legs is on my rotation for tomorrow and I think peeps are saying it is a goodie ! We'll have to :pcompare notes ! Did you get your bi's & tri's in today?

Lori - My back is doing well . . . not bothering me much at all. Used the heating pad and took Aleve for a couple days. Sorry the house hunting is not going well for you. :( Any news on the job front? Have fun with just the little guy at home !

Laura - well I don't know about you but we've been just below freezing here - a nice layer of ice on the car in the AMs but finally we've had rain and it's in the low 30's at night, 50's during the day. Heard it will be 40's during the day tomorrow. Can't wait to try Legs tomorrow - LOL that Cathe was watching your class . . . now I'll know why everyone disappeared from your classes ! Ha ! :p Congrats on the FB win - the radio said how Amazon sent out an email ahead saying Notre Dame won ! TG they didn't ! Hope you had a great day !

Diana - I feel like the glucosamine helps me . . . noticed it when I was out for a while. LMAO - Wendy the enabler at work again ! :eek: You know she picks out good ones so you'll enjoy it ! Good job getting up early and getting chores done too !

Wendy - Not sore . . . maybe because last week was killer ! :D Woo Hoo on Joey's matches the other night! Loved going to the matches in high school - actually did the timing for our team - got to throw the towels at the guys !:eek: Way to go on the weigh in ! Hope it keeps on going down for you ! Have fun shopping tomorrow - hope you find something for your trip out west !

Until tomorrow . . .
 
Good Morning:)

Yesterday's workout was CM and 4DS shoul,bics and tris. I didn't think I'd get a workout in today b/c I have that meeting at 11 but I should be able to get something in. Kids are gone by 8:15....I have plenty of time!

Yesterday wasn't overly exciting. I cleaned, went to Walmart, made some healthy cookies,went to the bank...etc. All I have on the go today is my meeting and we are looking at another house at 1. To tell you the truth I don't even know why we are bothering...we aren't ready and chances are by the time we are, that house won't be available anyway. And if it was something that i really liked, I'd be devastated.

Wendy** when is your phone suppose to arrive? I asked for my address for my DVD shipment to be changed, they said it was but I dunno. It's taking a awful long time to get here if it was. I use to get my workouts within the week before. So I don't know if they didn't change the address and it got sent to my old house and now as to be sent her. My friend got hers on Monday. I don't think your gonna get me to order those workouts:p I don't even know who she is:eek:. Are you doing as much yoga these days? I really need to stretch more, I can feel a difference when I'm doing plié squats.

Jacque** no news on any jobs yet. I sent out a few emails yesterday to see when they would be doing interviews. One guy told me I needed to apply online this morning....maybe they should have made that a little clearer! So I need to do that in a little while. I get a little stressed out sometimes but I forget that I have vaca pay coming to me and if I have to, I can take out the little bit of pension I had built up. I applied on a part time job as well and that would be pretty good cause I could do that 20 hours a week and do PT as well until I get my name out there....good or bad:eek::p

I will bbl and let you know how my meeting went.

Lori:)
 
Morning,:D

No pm workout aaaargh…………………….

But, this morning I did Xtrain biceps and triceps.:D I LOVED it; before I knew it, the workout was over. Know what? I only got 3 hours of sleep I could not sleep to save my life. My workout was okay, and I did go heavy................ but I was like blah…blah usually I’m so pumped.

Jacque: When I got home last night; I played with Tank, tell ya, this puppy hears the garage open when I come home I can hear him barking running and doing flips at the side door, lol he's so happy to see me. I just adore him:rolleyes:

Lori: Hey lovely :)I have to say you’ve been consistent on this forum since I started and that was over 10 years ago. You have always been my Ms. Hero. Nice workout.:rolleyes:

TG - I cant wait for us to get a new pup - I am jealous!

OK - crazy here atht he asylum .. gotta jet .. taken forever to type this .. have a great one .. and great sweaty workouts ..
 
Hello Ladies. :)

I now have a dress for my "wedding" in Vegas! :D

Laura:: Nope, no Verizon here. Used to have it but they are too expensive so I'm with T-mobile now. FINALLY after the third try, the order was actually placed! :mad::rolleyes: I should have the phone tmrw! :D

TG:: Great work outs! I want to try those work outs but IDT it'll be a great idea until my Combat rotation is over with. Too much on the upper body I'm thinkin' unless I really mess with my rotation which I don't want to. Eew-sorry about the sleepless night. Been there done that. It's NOT fun! :(

Lori:: Nice work outs! My phone should arrive tmrw finally! :rolleyes: Why not call SNM customer service and find out if they have your correct address? No, I'm not doing nearly as much yoga as I had been and I miss it. :( I just don't have time right now b/c my other work outs are longer. I intend to take a week to do lots of yoga and some cardio soon. I think I will schedule it for about the middle of my current rotation which should be in a week or so...What pray tell are healthy cookies??? :confused::p

Jacque:: You are a good mom volunteering at your kids' sporting events. I am sooo not doing that. :p Glad you enjoyed Hard Strikes! I'll get around to trying it SOME day! LOL I enjoyed Core #1 as well! Still have Core #2 to try!

Ok, gonna try to catch a quick nap before we head out to DS' second wrestling match tonight!:cool:
 
Hi Ladies,

I had this long post done this morning...and before I could click submit, my laptop shutdown for automatic updates. This seems to happen to me a lot. Anyway, I did SuperCuts this morning and I did like it. It's kind of short, 45 mins or so. TBH, I think I might prefer doing CF or TTM in place of this one.

My bags are packed for my early flight tomorrow. Well it's not too early but I need to be there early. DH said we need to leave the house at 6am. I'm really excited to see Amanda, the girls and Amanda's family.

Jacque-I guess since you and Laura both seem to like Hard Strikes I'll have to give it another try. It seemed good for a lighter day or a shorter w/o. I'm not giving up on the glucosamine. IMO, it needs to build up in your body before you notice a difference and that can take some time.

Lori-so what did you think of the house? I'm not a fan of house hunting. I love looking at new homes but always want the ones we can't afford. How did your meeting go? Hope you get your workouts soon.

TG-nice work with Bi's & Tri's, its a goodie huh! Biceps are my weakest link. The only time I really got noticeably stronger was doing STS and doing the 1RM beforehand. Sorry to hear of the poor nights sleep, we've all been there. I take melatonin if I go several days without sleeping.

Laura-LIH is fun one! That may be pulled out more frequently for me. Can't wait to hear what you think of tabatacise...it's a goodie! I'm going to Portland to visit my girls for their 5th birthday. Hopefully I can post some pics to FB.

Wendy-Woo Hoo on finding a dress. Are you going to post a pic? Let me know what you think of your new phone. That's the same one I want too. You say you won't volunteer for your kid, well you just wait...you will. Goodness, I was on the PTO for the elementary school for all 3 kids, parent volunteer at the middle school, work the student govt' at the High School...and that's not counting all the kids sports teams that I volunteered for...and still am. Only 1 more year though. :D OMG, Amanda is so excited to get her new WarriorZ workouts. She called to thank me last night.

bbl
 
Hi Girls,

I'm soooo lazy. One kid in bed and one to go but it's only 7:15... He's not ready yet.

My workout this morning was 4DS chest and back and 5 miles on the TM.

My meeting went well. Basically how they workout it is I basically run my business from their gym and I pay them a set fee. She said most proposals have been for $5 (which I didn't think was bad). What they would do is give me a card to swipe every time I enter the gym and they would invoice me at the end of the month. She said they have 8 trainers and 6 are full. She doesn't think I would have any trouble getting business. I need a business number, insurance and I'm good to go. I saw a couple of the trainers at the gym. Shocking for me to say this but one did not look like a trainer:eek:. She looked like she needed a trainer:p. Seriously, if I'm hiring someone to help me workout, then they better look the part...this girl looked far from fit. Anyway......so I think I'm gonna do it!!!! I'm super excited!!! Then we went to the military base and we talked with a lady there about programs cause RCMP quality for a lot of the military programs. I told her that I had applied on a part time job there and she was going to look into it for me. She thinks she can get me in for a interview. If I did that part time, as my crutch for income and then did PT in between, I'd be all set! So now I need to make a list of things to do from business cards, business name, insurance,....etc....

Diana** have a good weekend! Enjoy those girlies!!! Is dh upset that he doesn't get to see his grand babies?? I use to have a computer that use to pull stunts like that. It got to the point that I would copy and paste everything. I know what it was...when I would click submit, I'd lose the Internet connection. Then when I'd hit the back button, it would be gone.

Laura** sounds like another crazy day at work!!! Friday is just around the corner.

TG** yep...been here forever and a day it seems:eek: I never go to the OD forum anymore, I was burned to many times. Every time I would ask a question someone would take it out of context and twist my words around so I just stay here. Cause even if I say something mean...like my above post...no one gets mad at me...hehehe!

Wendy** can we see the dress please!!?????

Oh..and we found a house we liked today. It was on a nice st, beautiful back yard...yada yada....but our house isn't sold so there you have it. The price wasn't to high either. I think someone may have put an offer in on it anyway. If not it won't last long.

Bb in the morning.

Lori:)
 
Hello Ladies. :)

My abs and ub are sore! Core Attack was KILLER! Probably going to concentrate on the lower body today and continue on with the rotation as scheduled tmrw...

Diana:: Wishing you safe travels and a wonderful visit with your GDs, Amanda and her family! :D

BBL!:cool:
 
Hi Girls,

Just sipping my coffee while DH is getting ready. When I travel, he always lets me shower first since it takes me much longer to get ready.

I do plan on hitting bodypump at the gym with Amanda at some point, but that's it. You girls stay on track for me!

Wendy-I think both the dresses are beautiful. The way folks are talking about Combat, that may very well be my next purchase.

Lori-sounds like you had a very productive day! Well at least you know they have some nicer houses in your price range, and I'm sure one will be available when you are ready to move. Most people move in the summer, by then you may have your sold, the kids settled in school and a job.

Hi Laura, Jacque and TG! I'm taking my tablet so I'll try to pop back in at some point.

BBL
 
Good Morning:)

It's freezing here today, I might not go out. They are having a big storm home and a lot of snow. Not sure which I'd rather. I don't think they get many storms here...just the cold!

I was brain storming all night about what to call my business, I think I've figured it out. This is going to come with a lot of expense but it will be worth is. My business number is going to cost me $200-$300. I need business cards done. I also need to take some continued education courses with NCSF so the books range and applications for stuff cost SOMETHING. CPR and First Aid is another couple hundred for sure.

Today will most likely be cardio and legs...oh, and abs. Still no workouts. Got my last lulu package yesterday. Another nice coat. This one is black:)

Wendy** both dresses were very nice. I don't think you would have went wrong with either of them. Who is going with you guys?

Diana** have a good trip! Maybe you'll get to check in cause this place is pretty quiet over the weekends and I get lonely:eek:

I'll bbl to report my workout!

Lori:)
 
HAPPY HAPPY FRIDAY LADIES !

Yep, I'm really excited after this past week to have a weekend here already. Too busy at work, getting my workouts in and gaining weight too ! What more could a girl ask for? Not sure if it is the stress or the fact that I didn't eat much this week but the scale is up and it shouldn't be ! :mad:

Anywhoo, quickly checking in before work . . . y'day I switched a back massage for my morning workout and banged out Legs last night. My legs are feeling kinda lead-like this morning. TG it was Bi's and Tri's this morning. Tomorrow will be LI HiiT - sounds like it might be a good one. With this weight gain I may do additional cardio this weekend and get my eating back on track. Hoping it is only a metabolic change and won't stick around or I just may become anorexic !:eek: Only kidding but it is so frustrating !

BBL to catch up on personals.

Have a Super Trip Diana ! Everyone else have a great day !
 
Thanks re the dresses ladies!:)

Lori:: DH and I are going to Vegas by ourselves. Others were invited but can not make it. CPR will cost that much where you are!? :eek: It cost me $60 for my CPR/AED certification. Best of luck getting your training biz off the ground! You'll do great! :) You are an official Lulu addict my friend! What's this coat look like? Your turn to post a pic! :p
 
TGIF

Hello Ladies ..

last night was Tabata 1 and CBS :) I liked the tabata and it was perfect add on for weights! I am NOT sore from CBS this time .. and I upped my weight on lats ..I was sore for 3 days last time ... me and SIL agree we have been very lazy on weight work and IT SHOWS :eek: I am no where near what I was when I was doing STS ....TODAY IS TOTAL REST day for me :eek: and date night ;) :p

TMRW is to be cardio legs ...

Wendy - LOOOOVE the dress .. I like your choice the best but both were gorgeous!!! you will be a nock out in it!! How long have you and DH been married?? Me and DH talked about renewing vows on our 25th .. but didnt ever do it .. guess next big one will be 30th *oy* .. this year is our 27th in July!

Lori - LOVE the cards ...you will do GREAT ... and yes that sounds like a good plan . . what if you have back to back clients and dont leave the gym ..do you have to pay twice or just once? may be the way to schedule it if you get real busy!!

DI - glad you made it safely - have fun with the girls .. I KNOW YOU WILL - post some pics when you get a chance!!

Jacque - my weight is up too .. I am heavier than I ever been :( :mad: it is my own fault tho - too much stress this past year .. I missed workouts - the CAB and food consumption was not good either .. but trying to make better decisions and not miss my workouts this year .. although I have lost 2 very good friends already ... this year is starting off tuff!!

Hello to TG ..

OK .. better run .. everyone have a great FRI ... woot woot!!
 
Good Morning:)

I don't know why this kid can't sleep past 6! I was in no hurry to get up this morning....but here we are.

Yesterday we didn't do a whole lot. I didn't really have anywhere to do. I did LL and abs in the morning, then last night I did 10 k on the TM. I had to force myself to do that, I would have fathered did nothing and my legs felt heavy from weight work earlier. I can really feel that I worked my legs this morning. I went heavy. Oh, I also did some shoulder work too.

Wendy** I am booked for the CPR class and guess how much it is.....$189. I thought it would be that much b/c that's what it was when DH had to do it a few months ago. It's not easy spending all of this money in order to make money. My business number is gonna cost me a couple hundred, then I need some equipment....and insurance. We might be eating KD for a while:eek:

Jacque** I remember those days...the more I worked out, then the scale would go up:confused: Always mind boggling....I read on another thread about someone's weight going up since starting xtrain and they wanted to know if it was normal. I didn't read the responses though:rolleyes:. I might when the scale starts going up for me!

Diana** hope you are enjoying the girls!

Laura** how was date night with DH? I changed my cards after b/c I got a new number. I knew I had too but I needed DH to do it. The only problem now is all the jobs I applied for....I have a new number so if anyone wants to reach me, they won't be able to! So I might just print off resumes this time, instead of emailing them,get all dicked off and go find me a job! Although...I'm kind of creating one...I need something part time. I'm gonna have to be more aggressive with the child care job with the military. The pay was good and only 20 hrs a week.

I will bbl to report my workout...I don't know what I'm going to do or when....

Lori:)
 
I just finished my work out...Hard Strikes first 20 min-up to but not including the first interval, Core #2, Combat 45 and 60 weighted walking lunges.

I'm beat! :eek:

Time for lunch!

BBL!:cool:
