Damage Control . . . Week of March 20

Good Morning Ladies,

Very busy day yesterday...at work and at home. I was a domestic failure yesterday. As I baking a cake, it started smelling like something was burning and the cake had only been in the oven for 30 min. I open the oven and the cake has spilled out of the cake pan and on to the bottom of the oven....and it was burning. I turned off the oven and cleaned up the mess, but then had to run to the store to get more cocoa powder so I could start again. I'm sure it was a case of too much baking powder. The second cake turned out much better. I also cleaned the oven, well turned the dial to CLEAN. I don't have to do much!:p

DS wanted to go to Effrain's, an authentic Mexican restaurant. It was delicous of course, but way too much. I had a chicken chimichanga which I haven't had in years. I still have a slight stomach ache this morning. I'm sure the chocolate cake afterwards didn't help!

Wendy-I had the best of intentions but did not work out at all yesterday. I've already been logged into work this morning but will at the very least do a HIIT w/o in a few minutes. I kinda feel like I could get back to STS since I have the tower now.;)

LauraT-Hope you feel better soon. I thought it would be a more relaxing day working from home yesterday. Just as I was getting ready to go w/o, my boss needed something from me immediately. I sent him what he needed, but then was afraid to be away from my computer in case he needed something again.

Lori-I hate when DH finds my purchases too. I usually don't tell him, but he's the one that intercepts the packages. I totally understand your client. Losing 13 pounds since Jan is awesome. Losing 1-2 pounds per week is the goal. Unfortunately most people, myself included do not lose each week but have ups and downs or plateaus which is very normal. Even weighing each day my weight fluctuates up to 3 pounds. I'm wishy washy too...some days its all about the scale...other days I just don't care. In reality, she may have lost 15 pounds and gained 2 pounds of muscle. WW doesn't care about that, they only care about the scale weight...not the body composition. I'm still just maintaining my 8# loss. I've been up and down...but stuck at the 8# for the past 3 weeks.

Have a great day ladies!
 
Hey Girls,

Here to report my workout and then get in the shower. I decided to keep DS home with me today instead of sending him to the sitters. He would much rather stay at "mommy's house".

My workout was CM 2 and 3. 4DS shoul,bics and tris. 4 miles on the TM (34 mins) and 16 mins on the bike. We are gonna do a few things shortly and then I have some training later today.

I forgot to mention that the assessment team called from the hospital yesterday with our appt. They never did hire another psychologist, the one that retired is coming back to help. Which is great in my opinion b/c atleast Im not getting a new Dr. So DH and I have to go next Thurs at 9 a.m for a 3 hour interview!:confused: OMG! 3 HOURS!!! Then on the 8th we take DS for his assessment. We leave the room for 30-45 mins and then they give us their diagnosis (if any) So if my son as issues (which I think he does, even if he is just behind) I will know on April 8th. A little nerve wrecking but its time to face the music!

Wendy** Nice workout.

Diana** I HATE when I make a mess in my oven and it always seems to happen right after I clean it!:mad:

Alright...I may be back later!

Lori:)
 
THURSDAY - TGIF EVE

OK .. so I am a bit better today - although today started off w/a visit to the dentist :confused: but had a good checkup!!! I had several CABS last night .. and vastly improved my mood! :D

LORI - our long lost friend!!! glad to see workout and life is just as hectic as your last checkin - YES I am expected the darling UPS guy TODAY :eek: more lululemon peices :eek: :D:D ... LOL about your DH .. you got COLD BUSTED LADY!!! ROTF .. "must be interest" :eek: :p:p:p:p:p

Wendy - GREAT workout missy!!!

DI - are you taking cooking lessons from Miss Wendy????? :eek: :p:p:p I am sure you will make up for missed workout today!!! dang boss interfering w/your workout plans .. LOL

SOOOOOOO today is prbly gonna be STS disc as much as I can at lunch IF the stupid zumba teacher isnt "practicing" in my room .. if she is then I am gonna hit the weights in the weight room - then tonight is PLYO class ... I am gonna change it up some tonight w/the combos .. IF my hammies can handle it .. OUCHIE they are still sore as H### .. OK .. gotta jet .. have a great one!;)
 
Lori:: So did your early morning training appointment ever show up?? :confused: I got good sleep last night and felt okay this morning so I worked out but after I got done I didn't feel so hot again. :( I took advil this morning (will take more now) and just took more airborne. I am in and out of feeling okay and feeling yucky. I also feel like I'm in a fog today but I'm sure it's all related. LOL re my tower enabling. You are right. I sure did enable her but I don't think she's actually "pulled the trigger" yet so maybe she can still be saved! :p A 3 hour interview!? Ew! WHY??? That seems to be a bit much!!!! :eek::rolleyes:

Diana:: Yup, self cleaning ovens are great as long as you don't have to clean them in the hot weather!:eek: Not over-eating is one of my biggest hurdles when I go out to eat. I am getting better at it but still not there completely yet. I wonder how many looks I would get if I brought my own plate from home (the size I always eat dinner off of) and transfer just enough of my meal on to it to fill it. Then I know how much I safely can eat so as to not feel stuffed! ;) Heheh, STS is calling you! Meso 2 will suck you back in yet! :D

LauraT:: Several cabs the night before a dentist appointment? :eek: Glad you got a good check up..AND enjoyed the cabs! ;) Fingers crossed that the ZUMBA lady isn't hogging your space so you can do STS! :)

I know Jacque gave us all her cell # to text her if we wanted but I hesitate to b/c she's probably busy. Wondering how she's doing though. Has anyone "chatted" with her recently?
 
Good Morning:)

Up earlier then I need to be b/c DS wet my bed:confused: And it went right through the mattress cover. I don't even know how to clean a mattress. I used some Mr.Clean and some water and now I am waiting for it to dry. This could take the whole day.

I had a coffee date planned with a friend but we are suppose to have some nasty weather. I kinda don't have time for it anyway, to be honest. My days are to full to sit back and chat.

I just checked some of my shipping notifications and my lulu seems to be the only thing out for delivery today...and it wasn't suppose to be here until next week:D And you know how I feel about getting me some lulu!:D:D I would like to get my parcel from AE though cause I wanna try on those minis!

Not sure what my workout will be today. Cardio, abs and maybe high reps legs with GS floor work. If we go into the city tomorrow my workout will be short before we go so abs and cardio would be optimal.

Laura** Do tell what you ordered from lulu this time....please:) I told DH we were going to lulu in the city this weekend. Its a smaller one and its located somewhere downtown. They only set up in yoga studios or bigger areas...so I have a feeling its a yoga studio:D He just kinda rolled his eyes! Glad those cabs cheered you up!

Wendy** I think they are covering all areas with this 3 hour interview, right from day 1! I am not really looking forward to it but I have DH and he usually takes control in these kinds of situations and I just sit there and add my 2 cents every now and then. Maybe they will be done before 3 hours! Fingers crossed!!! How are you feeling today??

I will probably bbl to report my workout!

Lori:)
 
Morning Lori and all who follow.

So I ended up feeling okay by y'day afternoon and up til I went to bed but woke up to pee just a couple hours later and felt like I might be running a fever (some chills, body aches). Woke up this morning not feeling awesome but not like I did during the night so I took 2 advil and decided to try a work out and see what happened...

I decided on:
25 mins of Absolute K/B
25 mins of Strike Zone K/B
3 min prone plank hold

Got through the work out okay and feel no worse for the wear right now so we'll see what happens the rest of the day...:rolleyes:

Gotta get a move on. I just realized how late it is!:eek:

BBL for personals!
 
Hi ladies,

I have the day off to spend with Jerod. He's pretty much been on his own this week for spring break. He's gone to the rec ctr a few times with friends, but nothing too exciting. I'm taking him out to lunch and to a movie. It should be fun.

This morning I have micro-derm appt, then my workout...lunch and a movie. I didn't get in any weights this week so a full body workout is on tap. Probably STS total body...but that can change.

Oh....I ran almost 4 miles yesterday at lunch. I missed my morning w/o so knew I had to run at lunch. It was much colder than anticipated and I was thankful I work tights instead of shorts. At least I did it and I'm not really sore from it. We did 30 minutes of cardio and 30 min of pilates in bootcamp last night. As I'm getting older (can't believe I said that), I'm thinking maybe pilates, yoga and less intense workouts would be beneficial. No worries, I'm not giving up my Cathe w/o's just yet.

Laura-Yep, somehow those CABs have a way of improving our moods.:p Glad the dentist appt was good! I'm pretty sure you can kick the zumba teachers azz right out of the room if necessary! I can't tell you how disgusted I was....having to throw out chocolate. My oven is nice and clean now....and the second cake is delicious and almost gone!

Wendy-I hope you are not coming down with something. I'm planning on starting the 60 day Insanity rotation in April. Somehow I will have to throw some weight training into the mix. I'm wondering if 4DS one body part might work. I think that in M1 there should be time for an Insanity w/o and one body part.

Lori-yep, the dangers of having kids sleep in your bed...LOL. Been there, done that. I'm glad you have an apt with the psychologist. At least if they have a diagnosis they can begin therapy and the younger that starts the better. More lulu...you are so busted.

LauraR-how was your week of travels? Did you get any running in?

bbl
 
Diana:: Nice job on your run! Enjoy your afternoon with Jerrod today. When I did INSANITY I combined it with 1 f/b work out per week. I found it easy to coordinate and effective as well but yes, doing 1BP per day could work with M1 as well b/c those w/o's are short. Jen thinks I might be overtraining and that is what is causing me to feel lousy on and off. She suggested I take a few days off so I promised her I would TRY to take this weekend off. It's not going to be easy! :eek: I wanted to wait until Monday to take a couple days off but I probably shouldn't! :p
 
Hey Girls,

I am looking out the window at the falling snow and I am wondering if I wanna bother going out in it. I was suppose to have a play date but I don't think I really want to go anywhere. What I would like to do is take a nap!:p But that don't happen in this house!

My workout was 5 miles on the TM (42mins) 18 mins on the bike, HR legs and abs and medicine ball abs. I forgot to tell you guys that DH brought home 2 med balls and 3 kettlebells for me yesterday.:)

My lulu arrived. The crops I bought were on sale and I ordered them in a size smaller. They feel fine. Their smallest size is a two...must be pretty darn small.

Wendy** Hope your on the mend!

Diana** Sounds like you have an awesome day planned!! Congrats on running 4 miles!

Lori:)
 
Hi Ladies,

I feel like a princess. My face is still a bit red, but my skin feels soft and hydrated. I'll have to wait a few hours to see if it lightened up my red spots. Next month I'm going to have a chemical peel and a hydrafacial.

So DH made the comment the other night when he was drinking...otherwise I'm sure he never wouldv'e mentioned it. He told me that someone at his work said that I look older than he does. We are the same age. Obviously I took that as meaning I look old. So I've scheduled some treatments in the coming month.....if he asks about the expense...well it doesn't really matter because I am not going to look old. I'll just tell him he should've kept his mouth shut! DumbAss! I have noticed some wrinkling and dark circles around the eyes, same thing I noticed on my oldest sister when she was about my age. Anyway, one of the treatments is called the madonna lift. You can google it and let me know what you think.

Wendy-absolutely, take a break if you need to. As you know, I don't schedule my rest days, they just occur naturally depending on my work schedule. I'm not sure if 1FB w/o would be enough. I know Shaun T. just recommends doing UB once or twice a week during Insanity.
 
So I am feeling OKAY today! Felt icky this morning but ever since I did my work out I've pretty much been "normal"...whatever THAT is! :p This does not bode well for my promised rest days this weekend though! :rolleyes: Can you gals keep a secret if I end up working out? LOL :D;)

Lori:: So what have you been doing for your DH lately that he's showering you with fitness gifts now, hmmm? ;);)

Diana:: I think I am going to set up a consult for the laser hair removal soon. I googled it again today and a found a place relatively close to me that gets good reviews and seems reasonably priced. I am thinking bikini line AND armpits now. :D Sorry about the comment your DH made but, as you said, it's the perfect justification for the procedures you want to have done so maybe it's a GOOD thing! ;):)
 
TGIF!!!!!!

Well it is TGIF - my DH B-day AND my boss's B-day!!!:eek:yes I am married to an Aries and work for an Aires :confused::confused::confused: funny they have same b-day .. same personalities :confused: .. and me and boss's wife are born same month too!!! 180 degrees apart on the astro chart - guess that is why we work!! LOL DOMS: TRIS .. ouchi wawa (sts) hammies and core (my class) yikes!!!! today is FORCED REST day - had errands at lunch - gotta run home and get house mini/cleanmax before family comes over - nothing big .. just a cake - snacks and some CABS to celebrate DH bday!! :D

Wendy - glad you are back to normal - whatever that may be :p :p

Lori - got another pair of shorts and Y tank from Lulu .. got it yesterday .. TOO CUTE - and got my bath and body package today .. I am working the UPS and FedEx guy!! LOL .. ooohhnoooo .. poor DH . . gonna get caught up in your lulu fantasy world this weekend!! LOL .. maybe you can sneak in some purchases while he is checking out the yoga girlies :eek: :p :p

Di - heck I googled the Madona lift - I NEED IT :eek: sounds awesome .. painless - quick - and results look great - I didnt check out the cost ..but w/DH comment .. HA .. GO FOR IT .. it is warranted .. when he complains ... say .. hey you opened your big mouth mister!!!! it's your fault!!:eek: :p

OK .. I am late posting .. been a CRAZY insane day her .. and willl busting butt to get home .. have a great day .. and weekend .. will try to check in w/you girlies this weekend!! have a great one!:D
 
Good Morning Girls,

Quick check in for me. I am up early to get my workout in before we leave for the city. If I can get some abs in and a run, I will be ok.

Wendy** Glad to hear you are feeling better. Sometimes a gal as to earn her presents;):D Its o.k...Im down with that:eek:

Laura** Does the Y tank have a bra inside? I am interested in the repetitions tank. Its one of the newer ones. I must have atleast 7-8 push your limits tanks! And atleast my tan will stay consistent this summer;)

So we are taking DD with us and leaving DS home with my SIL. I hope he behaves and wants to stay there. Whenever he goes over to play he says "I go home now". I think he would be ok with the sleepover if we didn't live right next door!

Ok...I may bb tomorrow!
Have a good weekend everyone!

Lori:)

Good Morning Ladies,

DH's cousin from Boston flew in yesterday so we will be spending the weekend and Monday doing stuff with him. Not sure when I will be able to work out but hope to get some kind of exercise in this weekend.

I wasn't impressed with the movie Jerod and I saw. It just came out yesterday, Sucker Punch. I won't ruin it in case any of you want to see it. It was his day and therefore his choice.

We are heading to MIL's this morning and will plan out our weekend.

Lori-Have fun shopping. I'm sure DD is happy to come along!
