happy monday!
katie, sorry about the long work week for you. is next week super short, though?
i am pretty proud of how well i did yesterday - a great workout, and super clean eats. can i do it again? i am really trying to be positive but am super anxious for my dr appointment on thursday. i just want the clear to do some non impact weight bearing. i even looked at ellipticals in sundays paper - i do not have one, yet! i have heard other posters recommend nordic trac 800, but i also like the sound of sole 25 or 35, both more than the nordic. i'd love a precor, but i cannot justify the money at all as the minute i can run, running is what i will do! kate, what are you thinking about for machines?
bbl hopefully - dh leaves today with his computer, so i will have to use the one in the room my mil is staying in. we will se how that goes....

Mornin' Morris!! Good luck with eats today! Now that I have discovered I can run, I really want a NICE treadmill to run on but can't really justify the expense right now.
WO was 4DS bis and tris. Will do a segment of SM tonight.
Hope everyone has a fabulous day!!

Morning
Katie girl didn't you just buy a TM? I wish that I could run.
Morris I hope the doctor gives you good news. Elliptical machine will make a nice Christmas present
I've just finished TTOM and I feel like a fat pig. I've started writing in my food/exercise journal which usually helps me to stay on tract. I need to cut out the mindless munchies.
I think I may join Sam Club. They have a big one out here and I will need to buy a deep freezer first so that I can buy a lot of frozen veggies and meats.
b-eggwhites and salsa
l-beef stew
s-nuts
d-lemon chicken and veggies
s- grapenuts

Morning friends,
I'm tired this morning. Stayed up too late last night - kids got up too early. It's hard to go to bed every night without my husband!
No workout yesterday - just shopmax at Woodfield mall which is so intimidating!
This morning I'm going to hip hop at the gym with my mother in law. It's a fun class but I don't think it's that great of a workout. But, she enjoys it and I need something without strength training today since I'm still slightly sore from last week. I'll do a strength class tomorrow.
Katie, sorry you have to work all week. I'm so proud of you for running. It is a great feeling. I used to run in college but then injured my knee and every time I try to pick it up again, I hurt myself!
Morris, keep up the good work - hopefully you'll get a good report from the doctor this week. I would be so annoyed with an injury!
Robin, I love Sam's club. They have nothing remotely close to bulk stores in France. Most refrigerators are super small. Thankfully we got a full size one! I hear you on TTOM - I just finished too.
Okay, I'll try to check in later today. If I don't, have a fabulous Monday and keep it clean and tidy!

Good Morning Everyone!
This is a long week for me since my implementation is scheduled Friday night until Saturday afternoon so I will have to work Saturday. DH is working Saturday too so we won't have much of a weekend together.
Morris, hope the dr. clears you to workout. Good luck with the elliptical.
Robin, you could join Sam's club and buy the big freezer. We belong to Costco just because their prepackaged foods are generally better. Sam's and Costco are across the street from each other here.
Kate, poor Gina. I guess it will be easier in a couple of years when Isabel goes with her.
Angie, hip hop sounds found and it should help to loosen up some of those sore muscles.
w/o was Step Blast, Abs from B&G
b: oatmeal w/ almonds
s: 1/2 clif bar, nectarine
l: tbd (hope I have time)
s: chopped veggies, apple
d: steak, grilled asparagus & baked potato (it is very cold here but DH said he wanted to grill outside)

Quick hi to everyone. No work outs so far this week, but I'll do Timesaver #1 and go to tap class after work. We'll see about eats. You wouldn't believe how much I ate this weekend if I told you. I had dessert twice on Saturday (lunch and dinner). Ugh. It's so hard to resist when parents/in-laws are pressuring you.
Anyway, sorry you have to work all week, Katie. I know the feeling! I'm having a hard time getting back into the swing of things. Congrats on your mile! That is AWESOME!
Morris, I hope you get good news from the doctor this week.
Robin, just get back on track, you'll be fine. I completely relate, though, I was so bloated Saturday night I couldn't believe it. I went to bed at 9:30 just because I needed to lie down.
Angie, enjoy hip hop. It's nice of you to go with your MIL, I'm sure she appreciates it. I must be hard to be away from your DH. Not too much longer, right?
Kate, you rock! Yep, you really do. I hope your workout goes well and your meeting tonight is short.
Hi to everyone I missed.
Oh yeah, Klaudia, I drove by your neck of the woods on Saturday on my way from Port Huron to Harper Woods. I told my DH that's where you live and that it was your anniversary. I thought of you and your DH yesterday when we driving home in that snow storm! I can't believe we have accumulation already.
Okay, gotta hit it. Have a great Monday, everybody!

kate, snow???? we are expecting it this weekend, and i am hopnig it holds off until i am off these crutches. where are you looking at a precor? i think that is more money than i want to spend.
katie, i love my treadmill, but outside is best. with dh's travels, though, i am good friends with my treadmill.
angie, the hip hop sounds fun. is your strength work at the gym a class or by yourself? sometimes i miss the gym.
robin, i know what you mean about the mindless muntchies. you will be back on track today, though, i know it!
anne, i know what you mean about dessert - i am sending all our goodies out the door with dh today - out of sight!!!
finished my swim - it was tough but good. eats are clean so far, and cals are low - yeah!!!

Hi ladies!
Well, I'm officially a "Snow Widow" Hubby went in yesterday evening for a few hours to ready the trucks and then again at 2 a.m. He's not home yet. Sigh. I wish I could enjoy this kind of weather, but I can't. It's like DH has two full time jobs in the winter-office and snow. And when he's home he's sleeping or talking about snow! And the girls don't get to play outside as much since there's no one to go with them. This year should be easier with Nevena being able to play with them so I should be able to go.
Today's workout is some sort of upper body. I'm thinking about going back to the Gymstyles. I need to go and look in my journal and see if that's what I was doing when I got really cut.
Katie, I hope your week flies by! Mine seem to go way too fast at times and drag at others.
Morris, I hope you get the go-ahead soon. That would drive me nuts. Self imposed slacking is one thing, but being told you can't is quite another. I hear ya on the outside running-way better and no staring at the clock I'm going shopping for my cold weather gear this week. Can't wait
Kate, hope you get the elliptical-nothing like new equipment for extra motivation-like you need it Now I want a big freezer, too. We have a second fridge in the basement, but the freezer space isn't that big. And it would help with 5 people in the house.
Robin, I'm sure you didn't do as bad with the eats as you think. I think when people are fitness minded, they tend to be harder on themselves when they indulge. Today's a new day!
Anne, you should've honked! And I've had many days of double desserts, too! Have fun at tap tonight!
Angie, My MIL would totally do a hip hop class, too. She's 63 but acts 25! Sometimes it's great, sometimes not so much I hate going to sleep when my husband's gone too. And worrying about him working/not sleeping for hours on end. I always wake up and call him. Do you have Skype or are you on Facebook? I talk to my cousins in Germany on FB all the time.
Colleen, hope you'll be able to get some time with DH at some point. I like morning coffee with mine when we can. Your meals always make me hungry
b-kashi, 1/2 pear
s-Greek yogurt w/raspberries and honey

Why is everyone talking about cookies....???

Dinner is chili -- I LOVE when I come home and dinner has already fixed itself! Kudos to my crockpot!!

Oh cookies so dangerous. I don't have any in the house so it is easy to resist. So DH did grill outside (he loves the cold) and I had inside duty. I don't mind grilling when it is cold -- only a few dishes to clean up!
Morris - I hope the snow holds off too! We are supposed to get flurries tonight.
Anne - sorry you came home to MIL and no DH. I don't mind when DH goes away because I can get stuff done but I don't know if I would survive with MIL.
