Damage Control with Insanity on MONDAY!

[gidget1978]

Good Morning!

Sorry I was MIA yesterday. I started taking out the things in under the tree and finding a place to poke them. Whenever I take stuff out from in under the tree I feel the need to declutter my house It just feels like I am adding to the mess! LOL I had the itch to dig everything out yesterday but of course it isn't possible to do all of that in one day. I am actually going to try to clean one room a day on my days off, until the whole house is done Could take a while but trying to do it all in a couple of days is pointless. Atleast now it will only be 2 hours of my day, v.s the entire day!

We went on on Sat night and I had a blast! Like i said, different crew of people. There were some of the regulars there. The girl who was hosting the party said that she had invited my coworker and she was gonna try to come if she could get someone to work her shift for her. Im thinking she was just saying that to be nice b/c she never asked me and its a good thing she didn't! I had 7 drinks, which is alot for me and I woke up just fine! I couldn't believe it!

Jacque** I want to start taking things down this week...just need to find the time! I am having DS's b-day party on Thurs so I would like to have everything down by then, I usually do. It doesn't take as long to take down as it does to put up!

Diana** Thats awesome that everyone gets a long so well. I didn't get along with DD's dad that great in the beginning b/c he wanted to do stupid things with my child....like take her to The Dominican Republic....or have her drive across the country to his wedding. It would have taken 5 days for her to get there, in a car with 4 other people. Not as if it were a van or something...all jammed in the one car. And I had travelled with his father before. He has the window down the whole time smoking. So I said 'No" and that is they really wanted her at the wedding, they would have bought her a ticket...she was 3 btw! Can you imgaine!?

Wendy** Good to hear you had a great weekend, I figured you would.


So my baby is 3 today 3 years ago, this time I had a big 'ole saggy gut Gone now! LOL I remember when I was almost due and I looked down at my legs and thought "who owns these legs" All I could see what fat and dimples! LOL They were mine...and I ate good to get those nice, gooey legs!

Yesterdays workout was STS disc 1 so I have started STS again Also logging all of my workouts on a calender. Sat was a 21 kms run with my running partner. Can't wait to get my workouts this week! Im not sure when they were sent so I have no clue on when they will be here. I didn't even get a tracking #. Our weather is being really weird. Rain and mild? WTH is up with that? Last night before I went to bed I thought that if it were nice enough in the a.m I could run outside but right now its still dark and I can hear the wind and the rain. So I run on the TM it is!

O.k...gotta jet! I will bbl!

Good Morning Lori and all who follow.

Well after the azz kicking I took last night doing Kick Max with weighted gloves on when I was already dog tired and ending up feel sick for it, I think I will finally take a rest day today! It's back to work and school but I also have the job interview at 11am. I will go to work from 9 to about 10:15, take what will essentially be a "long lunch" to go on the interview and then go right back to work when it's over and work til 5 like I usually do. Tmrw I will truly start my SS rotation!

Got on the scale this morning. The good news is that I only gained 2.5 pounds in AC this weekend but the bad news is that I am up about 5 pounds over all since my last AC trip in mid November. Now that the holidays are over I have to get back to logging my food and staying away from the junk so that I can lose this 5 pounds in under 6 months time! I know atleast some of it is just bloat so it should come off easy but I'm not so sure that ALL of it is after eating and drinking my way thru the holidays!

Gotta grab a shower and get ready for the day. I'm sooo nervous. I think I need to throw up!

Good Monday morning girls !

Well I am happy to report my first time through 30/30 last night. Loved it ! Similar to Insanity but easier for me to get through. I think it is time to dig the GWF out, charge it up and start logging again. Last time I checked the website had been updated and it just may be easy enough to log food on there too. Perhaps I'll play with it tonight ? I think I'll do a short FB workout again after work and maybe a little cardio too. Will be waiting for Diana to get started on Cathe's STS/Shock Cardio rotation.

Diana - ITA with Lori that it is so nice you all get along and how special of you to help the girls' Mom with some new clothes. Good for you ! Yep I'm trying not to think of the move to the other site but at the same time am trying to come up with some ideas to make it easier for me. $ is not as important except that we are so strapped right now with DH only bringing home 1/3 his usual check. That cuts into the budget lots ! Hopefully he'll be back to normal in the next couple of months or I'm not sure what we will do. Hope you get to see the girls lots more before you head back. Enjoy !

Wendy - good to hear your weekend was a blast. I'm not thinking it will take you 6 months to drop the handful of #s you have gained the past 2 months. You know you can do it ! GOOD LUCK on your interview today !

Lori - HAPPY BIRTHDAY RYLAN ! ! !

If I remember correctly he is a balloon lover, right? Yea for you starting to declutter. Keep posting about it so you get me motivated - that's exactly what I need to do also ! So you following Cathe's new rotation with STS/SC or just the STS part?

Jen & Laura - hope to hear from you girls soon. Jen I did see your recent posts on FB so know you've been relaxing a bit after all that recent workload !

OK - dragging my heels enough here - time to get to work.

Enjoy the day !

Good Morning Ladies,

Another cloudy and rainy day here in Oregon. I don't think the sun ever shines here. Actually, we did see the sun for a couple of days when we were here in the summer. It's pretty gloomy without any sun every day though.

Amanda picked me up at 7:45 and we went to her gym, the Mt. Hood Athletic Club. It was quite nice. Tons of cardio equipment, free weights, machines etc. I did 20 minutes on the Tread Climber and then a full body weight workout. I feel great.

I think DS and I will go shopping so I can buy their 2yr birthday present while I'm here. We were planning on getting them tricycles, but their great grandparents got them those for xmas. I'm also considering doing a half birthday since their birthday is so close to xmas.

I'm not looking forward to going back to work next week. I've been enjoying my vacation

Lori-Happy Birthday to Rylan. So what do you get him since it was just xmas. It's not fair for kids with birthdays right after xmas. That's why I'm considering doing half birthday gifts so they will have something to look forward to in the middle of the year. Good luck decluttering, its a never ending process at my house.

Wendy-It sounds like you had a great time in AC. I can't believe you were able to get your w/o's in each day. Lori must be spreading her energy around to the rest of us. Good Luck at your job interview today. Is it closer to home, more money...or both???

Jacque-What do you think about starting STS on Thursday? I fly back Wednesday night and it would be nice to have a workout already scheduled. If that doesn't work for you, then I think I'd like to start on Saturday.

Jen-Are you building a new house...are those the pics on FB? When will it be ready for you to move in? I'm sure that is stressfull and exciting at the same time. Hope all is well with you.

Laura-I guess we probably won't see you here as much since you can't visit this site from work. That's terrible. I'm sure you're keeping up with your super duper workout schedule. Hope you and DH are both feeling better by now.

I am doing the happy dance. I went for the interview and got a call a couple hours later that I will be getting an official job offer this week! WOO HOO!

To answer Diana's question, the job is a longer commute (not exactly sure how much longer it will be yet but my guess is about 20 mins more each way) but it's 20k more a year then I am making at the lawyer's office and there is no way he can come even close so it's a no brainer!!!!!

Oh and for anyone who may not have seen it on FB, Jen just got engaged!!!!!!

BBL!

Even though I have hours and hours of work to do . . . I just finished Circuit Blast and thought it was great. I could do with a few less push ups - made it through quite a few though ! Fun fun fun to have something new and I like how it just moves from one exercise to another. Not quite the repetitiveness of Insanity and not as intense which may be better for me.

Diana - so great to hear you are getting your workouts in while on vaca. And with Amanda too ! Great you two are buds in the workout world too ! Good idea about splitting the gifts, especially while they are young. Kinda fun to have new things in the middle of the year too. Thurs will work for me in starting the new rotation. I'm not sure how well I'll do lifting much weight at this point but will keep plugging away and making progress of some sort. I am enjoying these SC's a great deal. Loads of variety and quick switching exercises.

Wendy - well CONGRATS on getting a job offer soon. I'd say there really isn't much of a choice. 20 mins isn't too bad for that kinda $ for sure ! Sounds like I need to go check out Jen's FB page quickly ! I was just there y'day and didn't see any of the stuff you ladies are mentioning . . .

Hey to Laura too !

Off to get a shower and start some work here. BB in the AM or perhaps after work depending . . .
