Hardcore Rotation Checkin for Tuesday Dec 20

[lorajc]

Morning Ladies -

This morning I did Power 90 Masters Sweat 5-6. When they did the 5 or so minutes of yoga, I ran downstairs and ran on the treadmill and then came up and did the rest of the workout. It was a fun workout. It's got a lot of basic moves, but I like that sometimes. I overslept again and had to skip abs AGAIN.

Okay, not to start this topic again....but I have to be totally honest and say that the "disease" part of me (my addiction) is taking over. Now my Mom got a box of chocolate and I'm really getting out of control with the cookies and chocolate. I need to start using the "tools" that I know I'm supposed to and get serious about getting myself in control. Addiction is a powerful disease and it can rear it's ugly head in all areas of my life...as I know too well! I also need to stop sleeping in and start getting more serious about my fitness, as I've been slacking lately.

Okay....there I said it out loud and now it's time for me to start working on myself. Thanks for listening!! I know you ladies are probably sick of hearing about me and my problems! I think the job stress thing let my disease get a little out of control.

Have great workouts everyone and I'll try to check in later from work. However, yesterday was absolutely wild....so I'm not sure I'll be able to.

Hello Everyone,

I am so busy this week I feel like I will explode! Oh the joys of owning a business Anyway I may take a rest day today. I feel like my body needs one but then I think what if I eat goodies this weekend? Well to be honest I am hoping I can eat some goodies this weekesnd. Having had no appetite for so long in reality it would be fine to eat a few unclean things! Easier said then done sometimes though. Anyway if I do workout I will do ctx upperbody and tear it up. I think i will not add a cardio workout today. So is everyone ready for christmas yet?

Lora-I agree that the stress of your job may be causing the addiction to take over. Have you thought of looking elsewhere for a job. I no that is stressful too but your boss is a nut in my opinion! I give you credit for staying there as I would have left. If I treated my employees that way I would not have a business.
Nicole-I loved your picture! I am taking the hint and will have one taken on Christmas and send it to you.
Susan-Now we need a pic of you and Lora and I think that covers all of us.
Dallas, Marietta,Diane Sue, Sabrina, How are all of you today?

Good Morning Everyone!

Where did the morning go?! This morning I did PH, 30 minutes on the treadmill (20 minutes running hard and 5 for w/u and c/d), I then did Pilates Mix. That was 30 minutes and focused on the core and upper body.

I cleaned out ONE toy closet. I have one large garbage bag full of broken and never used toys. The kids get out in two days, so I have to get this done while they are not around. Two more rooms to hit.

Nicole ~ You're so cute!! You have a curly head like me! You look tall too! Thanks for sharing your picture. It is nice to know what everyone looks like when you're chatting with them.

Lora ~ I know it must be so hard for you. Can cleaning be an addiction? I'm part kidding and part serious. I keep telling myself I'll do this one more thing then I'll stop, but I don't. My dh is worse than me....AND we have a cleaning lady.

Terri ~ Yes, when is the last time you had a rest day? I just looked and it was 2 weeks ago. This weekend is CHRISTMAS!!!!!!:7 :7 and I'll take a break then. Aren't you guys just so excited!!!! I can't stand it! My kids keep asking when are we going to YiaYia and Papou's house? They haven't asked when Christmas is. ha ha! It's like Christmas all over again over there.

Hi Marietta, Diane Sue, Sabrina, Susan! how are all of you?

Have a good day everyone! I have some last minute errands for the kid's class parties.

Hello Everyone,
Today I am going to do one of my SS dvds. I can't wait to see what these toe weights are going to do:7

Hey Dallas yep another curly head here to:7 You made my day saying I was tall I am actuallly 5'3 1/2", but I tell everyone I am 5'4" ;-) Matter a fact my DD12 has passed me in height She is 5'6", and just LOVES it that she is taller. (My DH is tall)

Terri that would be great. I really enjoyed seeing pictures of your son and his girlfriend. I need to get a picture of my kids all together.

I am cleaning today. Dallas wish you lived by me so I could get it done faster:7 My kids are on school break right now, and having a great time playing hide and seek. I love it on days like this when they are all getting along

Marietta have you got your shopping all done? I *think* I am almost done.

Lora it seems like I have been taking a lot of rest days lately to, but ya know it is the holidays I will start back at it consistently again after them.

Hello Sabrina, Diane Sue, and Susan


~Nicole
Gotta go clean. You know I will back again soon:7

 

[cwsoxfan]

Terri ~ How did I miss the picture of your dh son and gf? I want to see too! ;-)

Nicole ~ I know I'm 5'4" and a half, so i tell people I'm 5'5". You're SS must be making you long and lean!!! Yes, let us know how you like those Jolies. That's pretty tall for your 12 y/o, isn't it? My dd seems to be catching up with me too. I just took her to the eye doctor yesterday and she need eye glasses. She had the screening at school, but they missed her far-sightedness! x( She's excited, but I hope that excitement lasts.

OK, have to run!

I'll try and check back later.

Hi everyone!

My office is closed today since the electric company has to do something with the building, so I'll work on Friday instead.

I just finished PS Chest, Shoulders and Triceps, followed by Firm It Up with a 15 pound bb. The floor exercises got a bit uncomfortable, even with my back elevated slightly. I even did all the abdominal exercises using my stability ball.

I woke up a 1:30 today! I must have a guilty conscience. hahaha I feel so big and sometimes breathing is not so easy.
I read a lot more of the 30 Day/Simpler life book, and made a HUGE To Do list for myself.

Nicole, thanks so much for sending your picture! I had no clue what you looked like. It's nice knowing now. I'm 5'2¾" and I say I'm 5'2". I round down my height but round UP my weight (when not pregnant). My DH is 5'2½".

Lora, I have been in a downward spiral of having cookies every single day. PLUS we have chocolates and treats at the office. I usually don’t eat that stuff, but have been lately. I know it sounds "wasteful", but can you throw the chocolate out! My grandparents lived through the depression, plus they were VERY Yankee. I was brought up on "waste not, want not". NOTHING got thrown away. Just do it! Spray Lysol on it first.

Terri, I missed your picture too! I'll have to get an updated one. Maybe of my w/o room too. My ds calls it "Cathe's Room" now that we've added pictures of her. I know, I'm corny.

I'm just about ready for Christmas. I'm heading out today to get *special* wrapping paper and wrap my sons gifts. I'll also pick up some stocking stuffers. I'm sooo excited!

Thought I would chime in and say "I want to see the pictures too"!!

I have been studying my buns off today (too bad that doesn't actually work) LOL! My test is in the morning! The drive is 1hr 45 min. ICK! So we have to leave here no later than 6:45.

I wanted to tell everyone "Hi and to have a good day".

We all seem to be about the same height! I am 5'4". lol

I will try and check in later!

Good afternoon!!

It's me!!! I'm back and I'm sorry I've been away...I had Friday and Monday off work...need I say more?

You wanna hear about my workouts?

Friday - IMAX1, Step Blast
Saturday - Circuit Class, 3 miles on treadmill
Sunday - 8 miles on treadmill
Monday - Viper
Today - 5 miles on treadmill, EFX and Back workout

I was supposed to have class this evening but my DD10 has her Christmas (not holiday) party this evening...can't miss that.

I have 98% of my Christmas shopping done!! I just have to pick up a few things for my DH and kids....however, I haven't wrapped one single thing!!

Lora - I have addiction issues in my family as well...I find that I have to work really hard not to allow myself to fall into those traps. Like you said you know what you have to do...but I know it's easier said than done sometimes. It's never a burden to hear from you and about what is going on with you...that's what we are here for right?

Nicole - and what is this I hear about a picture? I wanna see!!!

Terri - I don't think I knew you owned your own business...how awesome!! What do you do?

Dallas - I have to get rid of kids junk when they are away too!! It's funny how they don't notice. They just think I cleaned their room or something. We gotta do what we gotta do...right?

Susan - You crack me up....your belly probably just looks like you're bloated and not hardly pregnant. I know a lot of pregnant women that would give you some dirty looks because of how small and active you are. Sure wish I could see you (hint-hint)...

Sabrina - Best of luck on your test...if studying really worked your butt off...you'd be buttless!! Don't think your DH would like that too much...plus you'd look funny (smile)!! Let us know how it goes.

I am the tall one of this group I see...I am about 5'6" (maybe a little taller). It's all good though...talk to you shorty's later!!

Good afternoon
Todays workout was a 6 mile treadmill run, and Core Max#1&3 and Step it Strong abs and stretch. My granddaughter was here sick today. I had no one here yesterday so go some other household tasks done and started another crocheted hat. I have been making them for the grandchildren and now my daughter wants one too.

Nicole what a great picture. I like knowing what the people I am talking to look like. Thanks for sharing. It would be great to have pics of all of you. I am 5'4 and the shortest person in my family. One of my daughters is almot 5'5 and the other is 5'7.

Terri, I'm looking forwards to seeing your picture

Susan, I bet you are a lot like I was when pregnant. I stayed thin looking then looked like I had a basketball shoved up under my shirt. I didn't workout like you though and I ate everything. Lots of Taco Bell trips and 31 flavors ice cream.

Lora, I don't know what to tell you. Maybe if you just gave your chocolates away. It would be best to find someway to remove it from your house.

Marietta, I e mailed you. Thanks for the treadmill hill workouts. I am looking forwards to trying one tomorrow.

Hi Sabrina

Have a great day

Hi to Dallas as well. Sorry I left to go pick up from school and thought, oh,oh I missed someone. I hope I didn't miss anyone else. Thanks for the cute e mail. Now, I actually do have a tendancy towards some of those "After Christmas" I have to work on this.
