Anne, fingers crossed that your offer on the condo gets excepted! And lol at the mental states of your colleagues!
Kate, how were the zuke brownies? I am interested in this if they are honestly good. And what - did I hear mention of a pregnancy???
Klaudia, the rotation you described (3 days running, 2 days LB, 2 days UB) is exactly the kind of thing that has leaned me out BIG TIME in the past. I find it difficult to do that much LB weight work with the type of running I am doing these days (race training) so I have had to modify... But I *know* it will work for you!
Nina, did you get some sleep last night? I sure hope so??
Robin, are you working today and tomorrow? Any birthday plans?
*
I am happy to report that I am LOOKING and FEELING veerrryyy lean this morning (despite the stupid number on the scale). It seems that all in one fell swoop (did I get that expression right?), my running and my eating both went to hell in a handbasket. First the running injury, then the stress eating due to the running injury. But I am a distance runner - an athlete - and I must eat and train like one. MUST GET IT TOGETHER!
With that said, I am off to spend some QT on the TM. I am going to continue to be conservative with my runs (TM only since it is totally flat and a more foregiving surface, shorter distance, slower pace, etc) for the rest of this week, and then begin to ramp it back up next week (8/3 - ) and the next (8/10 - ) because on 8/17, my half training program officially begins!

I'm here Kate! Morning! I did 4DS HIS including cardio and weights today. I went up in weights on most things, so that made me happy. My back felt really strong today- gotta love that.
Kate: WTG on DM and on finding a new lifting buddy. I would like having someone (other than DH) to lift with- he can always smoke me on everything and what fun is that?? Glad the girls liked the brownies. My kids love them as mini muffins, although they make for um, strange diapers around here. As for another baby, good luck on coming to a decision. I think we are really and truly done. I'm a little sad, but it's the right decision, I know it. Plus, I'm old!
Katie: I love your comment about eating and training like an athlete! I love it! Good for you. I find that happens to me too- I get depressed over an injury or something else and eat and then the wos go to hell and then it's over. But sounds like you are back on it!
Anne: Keep us posted on the condo- it really is beautiful.
Colleen: Feeling better today?
Robin: It's hard to get used to getting up that early. Katie said something once that stuck with me- no matter what time the alarm goes off, I'm going to be tired. So I might as well make it early and workout. Have a good day at work.
Gotta get a few things done around here. BBL.

Morning!
My butt is so-ore!! Yay! I love Plyo Legs! Today is upper body and abs-not sure what workout yet. Eats were good yesterday-I had a granola bar last night-dessert if you will Today I have the boys and I have to deal with my daughter calling her friend to tell her she can't have her stay the night. We caught her in a lie yesterday-about something really stupid but a lie none the less and that's her consequence. I feel bad but I know I have to nip this in the bud while she's still young. What do you guys think?
Katie, I'm so happy to hear this kind of rotation worked for you! I hope it does for me too! Yay on looking and feeling lean
Robin, I hope you get your workout in! Any special b-day plans for tomorrow?
Kate, way to go on DM! I probably won't be doing it again til after my 5k. Ok, now I need to try these brownies! Maybe a baking day is in order today

Here is the recipe- I posted it on FB. I got it from Gayle on here in one of the zucchini discussions in OD.
Zucchini Brownies
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup sugar (or agave nectar)
2 eggs
2 cups grated zucchini
1/2 cup canola oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 C chopped walnuts (optional)
Oven to 350. Grease a 10x15" jellyroll pan.
In a large mixing bowl, mix flour, salt, baking soda, cocoa and sugar. In another bowl, combine eggs, zucchini, oil and vanilla. Blend into dry ingredients. Stir in walnuts.
Put in pan and bake for 20 minutes. Cool in pan then cut.
***I did these in mini muffin pans and baked them for 10 minutes, added chocolate chips and didn't add the walnuts.

mmmmm, patti, what i would not give for a large one of those right now! ikwym about being sad about no more kids. i am pretty sure we are done too. i am sad, but this week in particular, i know it is for the best - i am so overwhelmed.
klaud, yea for doms. and i think you are right on with dd. must have consequenses. it is sad, though, i know.
kate, great wo!! how fun to have a buddy, though, if i did that, i'd really miss my quiet time.
katie, you are a motivator today for sure! so, you feeling good? i aggree, ignore the scale. mine is in a box not sure that is good right now.
robin, good luck with the 4pm wos. i love lifting late in the day, but cardio early early. happy birthday!
that said, i got up for a long run this am - 11 miles felt awesome. still not much sleep. i miss my bed. kids did, better, though. dh has gone for theday again to tie up lose ends arou nd the house, so i am here at my mom's with aidan - not much you can do with a 13month old in an empty dirty house, and we have no child care. i feel bad dh is doing so much himself, but, i am doing a lot too with the kids. he did not get back until 7:15 last night. tomorrow we fly out. i am sooo sad. i am also tired. am going to try to make good choices today. i miss my own kitchen and food and weights. ah well. could be worse. i will try to check in later. i feel like i need friends and hugs. bbiab

Nina, {{{Hugs}}} I can't imagine how difficult and stressful this is. Glad you got your run in this morning.
Kate, glad you and Laura rocked DM!!!
Patti, the brownies look good but I would probably eat them all.
Robin, I didn't get my workout in this morning either. Hope you get it done this afternoon.
Katie, I agree - ignore the scale. How do you feel and how do your clothes fit?
Klaudia, I don't have kids but I think you did the right thing. You don't want to have a lying teenager.
I am feeling a little better today. I am still congested and I feel weak but I went to work. I think I will feel better as the day goes on. No workout this morning - I will see how I feel tonight but maybe I will do the recovery and abs. My legs are sore from yesterday's workout.

kate, i will be over in 10 for a brownie. you are wonder woman today for sure!
colleen, sorry you still feel like garbage. nice doms, though.
when will i stop whinning and complaining? aidan has been fussy all day, probably b/c i am so down. we did go dg in the sand a bit, that was good. i have to go pu finn shortly - there is a goodbye party at his school. i know i am going to cry. i canceled all visits with friends - cannot keep saying goodbye. i am so worried about tomorrow! i fly both kids down at 11:30, and we won't be at the place we are staying until, realistically, 6. i hope i can make it. then i have to do bedtime in another new place, and luckily my mil will be there to help, but i will miss dh. i hope i can do this. i cannot even imagine the unpacking part yet. i must keep robin's thoughts in mind - this will be exciting, an adventure! hmmm.

Nina, {{{{HUGS}}}}}. I hope flying down with two small ones is uneventful for you. Robin is right (of course!), this is an adventure and it will be over before you know it.
Kate, yay for being caught up on laundry! I'm jealous.
Colleen, take it easy tonight if you're still not feeling up to par. It will take a few days to get your endurance back. Can you do something nice for yourself today?
Patti, those brownies look good! I don't bake, though, so I'll have to pass. Maybe I'll go over to Kate's and steal some of hers...Thanks for the kind words on the condo, I think it will be a peaceful place for me.
Klaudia, wtg on the DOMS! I have no words of wisdom about disciplining children. I know you're a great mom, though, and are making good decisions for your daughters.
Robin, you know what a sleepyhead I am, so no grief from me for sleeping in today. I hope work is going well.
Katie, I hope your injury is healing nicely. Be sure to take it a little easy, okay? I'm glad you're feeling lean.
Who did I miss?
It's been a crazy busy week here and tonight I'm getting a pedicure. I should totally cancel it since I have too much going on, but I'm not. I'm looking forward to it. I have to start organizing for my trip tonight, too.

Anne yay for pedicure. If you lived by me you can get it for 20% off.
Colleen good going with doms.

I plan the day wrong b/c I only brought a banana for snack time...they give us 15 mins. I was wondering why everyone was eating food. Well 3 hours later...with no break...I figured it out. Next time I'll bring lunch !!
I started at 8 and did not get out of there until 3 !! I was Straving like Marvin I did not stop at any fast food place.

Yikes, Robin, I would have been so cranky by then I would have eaten ANYTHING! Good for you for not stopping for fast food.
Negotiations are ongoing for the condo, we'll probably get to acceptance by tomorrow and then I'll have a closing date and know when I'll be moving. Yippee.

Yay Anne! I'm happy for you.
Robin: WTG on not eating ick food while starving- that's a victory!
Kate: Glad you liked the brownies. I don't eat them much b/c when I get started...
Nina: Sending you a hug and calm vibes for you and the kids. You can do this! I know it's overwhelming but also exciting- just try to look for the adventure when you're getting stressed.
OK, I'm out. I won't be on here much tonight- hanging with DH. I miss him already! I'll see you guys probably on Monday.

Patti - have a blast at the RT! Enjoy your evening with DH.
Robin - wow only 15 minutes to eat. They should give you at least 30 min. Of course this is from the person who had to eat lunch in 2 phases because I didn't have time to eat.
Nina - give the kids an activity and they should be fine on the plane. I really hate unpacking too (I used to move every year) but it will be nice once you are settled.
Anne - good luck with the condo and enjoy your pedi.
Chris just called and reminded me that he will be home late. He actually told me this morning but I forgot. I really just want to go bed but I will make some dinner and then get to bed early. I will skip my workout today and get back to it tomorrow. And I got my cold from work. Everyone is sick - very frustrating.

Did 4DS HIS last night in it's entirety. Is that a word? Reading, but not much time to post after I get through reading. Can't wait for the week to be over. To add to the craziness, got a dentist appt tomorrow am. Tooth is acting weird. Eating needs to be tidied up. Please remind me that stress eating doesn't help stress, but ADD stress!
