Damage Controllers HATE Mondays! GRRRR!

[Fit_mommy]

Morning Glories.

Probably about the only one that would disagree with that ^^^^ statement would be Lori as she often works weekends so Monday may tend to be a day off for her.

Well no personals to post since I was the last one to post last night. My plans did indeed get canceled and I DID grab a beer to drown my sorrows. LOL It was a Coors Light and I only one ONE. Too bad self control like that is so rare for me!

So I got on the scale this morning and was blown away! I am down almost 5 pounds from what I was one week ago today! I don't think it's TRULY a 5 pound weight loss but still! Today for the first time since LAST SUMMER the scale read the weight I USED TO be!!! I expect it will go back up a bit again but I am getting there! This is a major accomplishment! *does happy dance around the room* I can see the difference in the mirror and feel it in my clothes too so I know the results are coming! The only thing that bugs me is my bf% isn't going down. That said though, it's still within a healthy range and I still like what I see in the mirror. I have muscle definition and all so I'm gonna stop freaking out about that. Maybe once I hit my goal weight I can work on leaning out. Perhaps that will be a good time to give P90X another shot!

So after this weekend's crazy work out schedule, I am back to normal again today with Mix It Up. I have no cardio plans. Giving the cardio a rest I think until Wednesday when I plan to do the Insanity work out again.

Guess that's all for now...working this morning but will be back this afternoon!

Later Babes!

Morning ladies !

(not "good" since it is Monday and the week's grind is beginning all over again.)

Yesterday while perusing the boards I decided to do the July 09 rotation (is that the one you are doing Diana?) so today will be B&G. GWF showed a 2500+ cal burn with all the gardening I got done. Guess a few hours of gardening = a workout ! Works for me for sure. Guessing it is the bending down and getting up because I was feeling my backside yesterday AM. Eats were 1750 so a nice 750 deficit.

Wendy - WOO HOO X 2 for you girlfriend ! ! ! How wonderful you are back down and now just why are you thinking it will go up ? ? ? Oh yes, you and Jen will be the "DC Party Girls" here pretty soon, right ! So glad to hear your efforts are working for you without a GWF ! Bummer about your cancellation last night - I hate it when you are looking forward to something and then it gets cancelled. Have a great workout !

How did everyone else's end of the weekend go yesterday?

Off to work - BBL.

Hi Ladies,

Well this monday isn't too bad since I'm on vaca this week. Jerod and I are about to head up to school to get him registered. They are also taking school pictures and he's decided to wear a long sleeve button down shirt...sounds good so far, right...it is a white background with pink stripes. I asked him to please wear a solid color shirt but am fighting a losing battle.

I'm also going to get busy and have DH help clean out the garage. I'm hoping it goes much faster than I think it will. If we have time, I would also like to get the basement rearranged and cleaned. When DS1 moved out he just took a bunch of his stuff to the basement, not in boxes mind you, just laying around. Things like a huge bean bag chair, 3 good size boom boxes/stereo systems, 2 old CPU's, all his baseball stuff that he didn't take with him. I would like to create a family room area for Jerod and his friends where all his gaming systems are.

Wendy-I would be so disappointed too. Sorry your plans went by the wayside last night. Great job on the scale. You know, I was up 2# and overnight I managed to lose 1.5#. For me, I think it was water retention. I filled up on high fiber foods and drank a ton of water. If what you're doing is working....keep it up!

Laura-Sounds like you are having a wonderful time. Nice that DH gets to join in on the partyin". It's nice to have a designated driver, but you could all take turns so everyone can partake.

Jacque-I'm doing the Jan '09 rotation. Starting week 2 today. Actually today is supposed to be a rest day. I'm hoping I can get DH to help in the garage and that will count as my w/o. If not, I will be doing a workout. I do much better when I'm following a rotation.

Back ro report that B & G is complete ! Nice workout - GWF burn is only 278 but the leg burn was at least twice that ! ! !

Diana - Hope your Monday was a great one ! LOL about a pink striped shirt but a couple of the guys at work are back to wearing pink & purple as my boys did when they were young. Those are the fun things to point out when they get older ! Did you get a good start on the garage or get in a good workout?

Off to work on dinner ! Enjoy the evening.

Hi Ladies,

Well the garage is about 97% complete. Still a tiny bit left to do but it should be no big deal. I also mowed the lawn and am happy to report that I reached over 12K steps! That is really good for me and its only because I'm home doing things and not sitting at a desk all day.

The GWF recorded 402 cals for bootcamp class tonight. We had a sub again but it was still a tough class. This was kind of an active recovery day. I think the rotation calls for legs again tomorrow, and the 4DS the rest of the week.

Jacque-What's funny about this pink striped shirt is that DS1 also wore it for one of his Sr. Pictures. Even then, I tried to talk him out of it but had no luck. DS3 pretty much loves any kind of hand me downs he can get from either of his older brothers, but especially DS1-they were pretty close when Jerod was little. Not so much once DS1 became a teenager. DS2 and 3 have always fought. B&G is goodie, nice job getting that done today.

Time for me to finish up the kitchen....bb tomorrow.
