Morning girls,

Our weekend thread was quite quiet! I hope everyone is having a great holiday weekend. I'm sad because Ryan has to work today and we really didn't get to "celebrate" at all.

Yesterday we went to church with our friends. It's a french church and it's difficult to understand but it's good for our learning! Then we went out to lunch to a good italian place - I cheated but for the first time in 3.5 weeks so I don't feel to horrible about it! I actually got pasta with veggies but had a small sundae. Then we took the kids to a pump it up type place. Fun had by all.

Yesterday was plyo cardio circuit. Today is rest day. We're actually going to double up again next Saturday so we can rearrange our schedule to have Sundays be our rest day.

Our guest made it in okay and he's off to Paris today. I had French lessons this morning an am off to pick up the girls in a bit.

Have a great Monday everyone! Try to keep your cheats for the holiday at least tidy!:cool:
 
Morning Angie! I agree, the weekend thread was awfully quiet....

Chris and I decided at the last minute to have a cookout today - we are having over two couples that Chris works with part-time. Remember when I went to a wedding a few weeks ago - it's the newlyweds and one other couple that we are both friends with. And I think my mom is coming up and Chris' dad. It will just be weird because all of these guests are in their 50s and have children our age.

We are having traditional cookout fare - burgers, hot dogs, salad, potato salad, grilled summer veggies, and cobbler for dessert.

I have had a great weekend so far - I have really gotten caught up on sleeping and cleaning. More cleaning today, though...

WO this morning will be upper body - better get to it!
 
hello my girls!!!! i missed you!!!:D:D:D got to read over everything - quiet here for sure!
we had a wonderful weekend with more than a few cookies!:eek: back on it today!

angie, sorry abt the nonholiday. glad the girls are doig well. im sure your french is improving all the time! hows ryans? your cheat sounds pretty sensible! good for you!

katie, have a fun cookout! tons of cleaning needed here! and laundry!!!
hit those weights hard!

-
no big pland today. school prep & g's already sobbing. what a great way to start the day!:rolleyes::(

gg...bbl!
 
kate, glad the retreat was good. can you help gina remember some of the fun stuff?

katie, are you making the cobbler? how did you feel after your run y-day?

angie, good job with the tiny cheat. you are doing so well.

hormones hit me ferociously y-day. i was daydreaming about a huge piece of cake - not usually something i am interested. anyways, i avoided it, thankfully. i slept in today and feel good except my foot (the one i broke) is feeling a bit "funny". i am not doing any cardio today, so i will be resting it. i did my weight work yday, so just abs and legs today. and clean eats! no big plans here - just hanging out with the kids and tidying up. bbiab
 
Nina, We're trying to remind her of how much fun she had last year and how SHE DIDN'T WANT SCHOOL TO BE OVER last year! Kids!:p:rolleyes:
Huge piece o'cake sounds lovely to me! Esp w/ a scoop of ice cream! I mean..... carrots...veggies.....whole grains! Right! Healthy food! Protein! :D:D:D
rest up that foot! No relapses!

Mike bought donuts ..... powdered ones... mmmm. I had Kashi, apple and pb.:D
Let the chores begin!!!
 
Morning Laborers.

Angie double up insanity to have a day of rest is a good idea. Yesterday I barely got out of bed.

Katie enjoy your cook out. I'm going over my fam house...first they said to bring steaks and then they said to bring gr. beef and then they called me last night and said to bring Rum :confused: They are getting on my nerves already. Wish me luck.

Kate poor Gina I hope she make new BFFs today.

Nina push away those day dreams...good for you.

On Sat I worked at Penneys and people were shop lifting like crazy. They even had me involved with followinga and saying hello to people. Not sure why...I stand out like a sore thumb with my NY slang. I thought that the clothing tags were magnitized. Crazy me.

Off to Golden Corral for breakfast.
 
Good Morning Everyone!

No big plans today. May do some shopping since I didn't go out on Saturday. This morning I did my fit test, 15 minute run and Insanity Maximum intensity circuit. My butt is sore but I made it through.

Robin, that's really sad that people are stealing like crazy. I hope your family picnic is not too crazy.
Kate, I am sorry Gina is so upset. I hope you can find something to distract her.
Katie, enjoy your cookout today. Glad you were able to catch up on cleaning and sleeping this past weekend.
Angie, I really like having Sundays as a rest day. I hope doubling up doesn't make you too tired.
Nina, I am glad you avoided the cake splurge yesterday. I hope your foot is okay.

Have a great day everyone!
 
Happy Monday!

Stayed an extra night at the cottage so we could enjoy every last bit of Summer:) Got home 1/2 hour ago and have to get ready to head over to mil's house for a bbq. I 'm tired and have a ton to do to get ready for tomorrow-first day of school-but she bought a lot of food and already had someone else cancel so we're going for a late lunch/early dinner and then coming home-have to get balloons for tomorrow morning and Fruity Pebbles-Danica's b-day breakfast request:) Needless to say but no workout again today:( I'll definitely start tomorrow while the girls are at school then I need to grocery shop and I think my parents are coming over for Danica's birthday-hope she picks something remotely healthy for dinner. I need a detox after this past week!

Angie, glad you had fun with your company! Enjoy your rest day today:)

Katie, looks like the same menu we're having! Glad you had a great weekend-I know you needed it!

Kate, sorry about Gina. We try to make the first day a celebration-we have balloons tied to their chairs and a treat breakfast:) Even I celebrate-going out for a back to school breakfast with the neighborhood moms:) I've got loads of laundry too and no food!

Nina, good job resisting the cake-I've had way too much sugar this week-can't wait to start fresh.

Robin, good luck with the bbq today-hope there's no major drama.

Colleen, enjoy your day! I need to do some shopping so bad-hopefully I can hit the after school sales in a few weeks:) Did you improve on your fit test?
 
KLaudia, Sounds like you had a great time! All of your plans sound wonderful! Fruity Pebbles would be my undoing! I seriously could eat an entire box in one sitting! Love that stuff!:eek::eek::eek:

-
Gina will be ok...but there will be lots of tears in the process. Thanks for all your encouraging words!

Just finished DM TB premix. Good one! Sweaty mama!

Off to nurse, errands, laundry, dinner.... Cya!
 
I ended up skipping the shopping and did cooking instead. I made salmon corn chowder from clean eating and corn muffins. I really love Jiffy Mix corn muffins but I haven't been able to duplicate it. The ones I made today were just okay. I need to keep practicing.
Kate, I did improve on all but 1 exercise. I had the same thing happen last time but it was a different exercise. I wasn't sure how I would do because I am tight due to PMS (no amount of stretching in the world prevents me from being tight in the AM when I have PMS.)
Klaudia, I can't stand fruity pebbles - too sugary. I hope you get some time to relax for 5 minutes before your marathon prep for back to school.

Hope everyone else is enjoying their day!
 
well, i am glad today is almost over. we walked to the park, and that was nice. i did my leg work. i also ate too much junk!:mad: i feel like giving up. i feel garbagey, but i make bad choices. tomorrow is a new day, and i will try harder.

kate and klaudia, good luck with back to school!! i will be thinking of you all. bbl
 
colleen, Mike and the girls LOVE Jiffy! I do too, but homemade is best! REMIND ME to post some recipes!:D

Nina, Thanks for the well wishes! We're gonna need em!:p
Blech to the garbagey feeling. We went out for ice cream tonight to celebrate the last day of summer vacation - I ordered something I didn't really want - now I still want what I wanted. Should've just got it. Boo.

Other than that ice cream trip I did great today - and what I got wasn't all that bad so today was a good day. Tmrw will be too. AND AND AND I get to WO while DDs are at school and J naps! How sweet it that?!?!?!
