Good morning fitness buddies...

Hope everybody is feeling great today!!! It's Friday!!!

Kali - I hope today is a great one for you!!!

Shannon/Wendy/Charlotte - all those bug stories have my skin crawling. I don't like beetles/bugs but I don't freak out at them like I do a spider. I can take a snake better than a spider.

Wendy - the party after the Christening with go fine. This is a very special time for Joey and your family. Great job on that workout yesterday with abs!! You put the abs first I see. :)


Today I work only half day so I'll be off at 10:30. I am going to do PLB then and abs from Step Heat. Becky/Kali - don't forget to add your abs onto today's workout. :) I sound like the rotation enforcement police don't I?:+

The Rascal Flatts concert is tonight and DD are going to Carrabba's to eat before. It is Italian and oh so good but too much on the fat side. My ratio on fitday is a little skewed today because of it but this is day #20 of clean eating so I am going to have a treat. Absolutely no dessert though.

I weighed and measured this morning although I'm not suppose to until Monday but I wanted to see what it was in case Carrabba's did any damage tonight.

I've lost 1/2 pound since Monday. I've lost 1/4 in my hips and 1/4 inch in each thigh. This Butts and Guts rotation is really slimming my rear. I want to have another 1/2 inch off my butt and I'll be happy.

Have a great Monday everybody. TTYL!
 
Good Morning,

Just waking up and I am not to to awake yet;-) I fell asleep on the couch around 10:30 so I should have had lots of sleep.I am sort of ticked at DH b.c he went out last night to pick up some nacho's and swing by a friends house for a sec and then we had planned on watching survivor together.He was gone for an hour and a half.So when I woke up from the couch I just went on to bed but he knew I was pissed.

Congrats on the measuring.I weighed today and I was up.;( But yesterdays supper was salty and I drank a ton of water last night so I think I could be retaining that.Don't you ever just get to the point where you want to say, "forget it, I look good the way I am".Somedays I feel that way b/c I am only trying to lose vanitiy lbs and my workouts are always good and my eating is not THAT terrible.I have a sweet tooth but I never eat deep fried stuff.Sometimes I just think this is my comfortable weight.

Anyway,enough whining.Must get my daughter ready for school.
LOri:)
 
Good morning Lori... yes, I have felt that way before but the alternative of going back to my old eating habits and not exercising is too terrible to contemplate, so I plug on!! It sounds like you are holding water if you had a lot of salt last night. No fret about that, it's not fat and you'll get rid of it over the course of today, just drink a lot of water!!! Don't stress too much about trying to lose the vanity pounds. You are doing great with your exercise regimen and I'm sure it shows on you.

Have a good day!
 
Good Morning Everyone!!!

Hi Jane and Lori and everyone who follow!

I hope today is a much better day for you Kali !!

Jane your plans for tonight sound great. I hope you have a blast and eat what you want, maybe just not the whole plateful.:9 (okay, if you were the rotation police, I guess I am the dining out police!;-)
Although, maybe you should treat yourself tonight as a celebration for your weight lose????? Good for you Jane! Great job!!

Tonight we don't have any big plans, just drop off my daughter and some friends at the football game. Tomorrow I am hoping we will go to at least Oktoberfest in Cincinnati ! That is a lot of fun and I like to go and walk around and watch all the people as much as I like to try some of the food. Honest! :eek:

I am anxiously and not so patiently waiting for the presale to start!
I might have to buy them all. The only ones coming up that I'm not sure are for me , are the boxing series, but I'm going to wait until I here more to make up my mind .

Well, this morning is PLB and abs and I'm READY!! Maybe I'll even squeeze in some cardio!
Have a great morning everyone & I'll be checking back later!
:D
 
Hi Jane, Lori, Becky, Kali, Nancy, CurlyQ, Kim and anyone I've missed...

Kim---Wow, that must've been tough. I've never really thought about the ramifications of a multiple birth. I give you and every other mother of multiples LOTS and LOTS of credit! :)

CurlyQ---Great bug story! EEEEEEWWWWWW! lol

Jane---Have an awesome time at the concert tonight. Carrabbas is awesome food!

Lori---That water weight will come off in no time. Jane is right. Just drink lots today!

Nancy---How are the wedding preparations coming along? When is the wedding??

Kali---How are ya feeling today? Better I hope!

Today is all cardio plus abs for me. Not sure what I will do yet or WHEN I will do it. It's gonna be a busy day. I have my aunt from Fla who just flew in for Joey's Christening coming to visit at 10am. After she leaves I have to drop Joey's at grandma's house, get a haircut, and make potato salad. I also have to clean the house this morning before my aunt comes...I've been slackin' with that. x( I guess I'll exercise either early this a.m. or later on after everything else is done before I get showered and dressed for the wedding I am going to tonight. I have to be ready at 6:30. I have less than 12 hours to go! :eek:

ETA: I can't believe I almost forgot to post this! I measured this morning....

waist is down 1 inch
hips are down 1/2 inch
thighs are down 1/2 inch
calves are the same
chest is down 1/4 inch x( lol

YEAY!!!!!!! :+
 
YAY!!!! Wendy... doing a happy dance for you!!!! I hear you on the chest.... mine are practically non-existent!!! Oh well, thank goodness for inserts!!
 
Thanks girls...Im sure the water weight will be no time.I was chugging water last night and I barely used the bathroom before I went to bed, so it had to go somewhere...or stay somewherex( A good cardio burn and I should feel differently about it.

Becky- I hear ya on the pre sale.I was gonna check the cksales website (canadian site) just to see if there was anything posted but I guess its way to early for that.

Wendy-Enjoy the chrsitianing.My SIL is comming home next saturday and she is getting her baby chrsitianed then.That was gonna be my next cheat day.

Jane-Enjoy your outing.....just don't eat anything salty.:-( :)

Im not sure what todays workout is gonna be.I think it will be legs and cardio.I am leaning towards doing LM or C&W.DH wants me to deliver door knockers with him again but its raining a little bit so I don't want to}(
Lori:)
 
Lori-I have a wedding tonight as well as the Christening on Sunday...so I am gonna have to eat light all day today in preparation for tonight and then try not to gorge on Sunday...I'm more excited about Sunday's food though....almost all homemade food and lots of it is ITALIAN! YUM! :9

Jane-Thanks hon! My waist is slowly but surely shrinking back to a reasonable size! :+ I am only 1 1/2 inches away from my pre-pregnancy waist line!!! I would actually like my waist a bit smaller than that even but I can't get too greedy all at once! :p
 
Wendy- I hear ya.Wedding food is wedding food.But any other gathers with numerous dishes...thats what I LOVE as well.Take a tiny bit of everything and the next thing you know...your place is filled up.
Lori:)
 
Charlotte- When you check in...can you tell me what the toasty rotation is? Is it something you made up yourself OR is it a Cathe rotation and you HAD to just stick your name on it somewhere?:7 }( ;-) Im thinking of doing a rotation or maybe making one up for myself.I want to push myself a little more.And maybe when I do that a perfect diet will follow:)
Lori:)
 
Good Morning my Fitness Friends!

I just got done with PLB and abs from ME. Feel awesome. I ate some WW noodles w/ cottage cheese last night before I went to bed which is something I try to avoid, (carbs after 3pm and eating before bed)x( but I knew I'd be working out first thing this morning and didn't want to pass out from not eating yesterday.

But like you all said today is a brand new day. I am focusing on me and what's in front of me. And if it's not in front of me, it's not even getting my attention. I need to take a step back from things and just focus on myself and my responsibilites for a while.

Jane~ have fun at Rascal Flats tonight and enjoy your dinner. Just watch yourself all day and you'll be able to induldge w/ no guilt. You shouldn't have guilt you work hard enough!!!:7

Wendy~ You go girl! You are doing great!! Everything is going to be beautiful Sunday. Stay in today, and the rest will take care of itself. :) How's Joey after his shots? Any fever or anything? Are you anywhere near those plagued mice?? What are you wearing to the wedding tonight?

Becky~ Have fun w/ today's workout. I'm going to get cardio in today too. I'm so glad I waited to order any DVD's. Now I can get an extra one or two because of the no shipping! :7

Hi Lori! Now why don't ya want to help DH?? LOL! Have fun w/ your cardio. You're legs must be shaping up after your workouts this past week! Cool.

Hello Charlotte, Terri, Nancy, Shannon & Jessica! Hope you are all well.

I'm going to get the boys ready for school and eat something.

Kali,

I like your attitude. I have to align things once in awhile myself or I lose focus. As the seasons start to change more, it will be harder for me as I tend to get depressed when the sun is not beaming down so much like in the summer, but I usually just workout harder during those times to keep the endorphines flowing. I heard someone say yesterday that exercise can become an addiction. Does anyone think that is really so bad? Worse things to be addictive to in my opinion.

Charlotte~~
 
Hi Again Fitness Divas!! :D

PLB and Step Heat abs are DONE!! I want to do some cardio but can't decide what. Maybe if it's not raining I'll walk outside later. Haven't done that in a while. Right now its off to the shower and then gotta tackle errandmax! Anyone else doing that today? I was thinking about doing it x2 cuz I'm feeling STRONG today!! hahahah j/k

Have a great morning everyone, and WHERE IS that presale announcement??
Any idea on how long we'll have to wait to actually get them once we order????
I remember it seems like years waiting for the GS series!;(

TGIF!!!!
 
Oh dear. Yes Charlotte there are a LOT WORSE things to be addicted to. Believe me. I know. If you're addicted to something that doesn't hurt you, there is nothing wrong with it. I know people who say they are addicted to life. :)
I am a recovering addict and I can become addicted to anything. Sometimes things that are good for me, some things hurt me. It's up to us to realize what's going on and decide if we need to make changes. And that's exactly what I'm doing.

We'll all stick together and keep up w/ our workouts and keep those endorphine highs flowing during the winter months. It helps me just knowing you guys are all here. :)

Hi all

wow, I am impressed by everyone's hard work. Jane and Wendy congratulations!

I have had 3 18 hour days in a row so I haven't worked out since Sunday. But I went to bed early last night and am going to try to squeeze in a morning workout. We'll see - last time I attempted to work out in the morning I about died. I am supposed to do Imax1 but I think I will do ME and hopefully squeeze in Imax1 tonight.

I love fitday and I have been eating healthy (aside from some tostitos last night)

Wendy I can't wait to see pics from the Christening.

Kali, those are my thoughts exactly concerning the new videos. I don't have any of the Hardcore series and told my mom that I want some of those dvds for my birthday (Oct 4) so hopefully presale starts soon and I can buy even more! My credit card will love that!

Have a fabulous day!
Jessica
 
Great work Jane and all you hard-working ladies. Last night I succesfully completed the floor work on PLB. Tonight I have to do CoreMax. Tomorrow is cardio at the gym and PUB standing work. Sunday is cardio at the gym and PLB standing work.

Also today is dressfittingmax. I have to take a big bag of shoes and undergarments to work with me, leave work in the middle of the afternoon to go to the lower east side and do the dress fitting, then get back to midtown to my office. SOOO annoying. I think this will be the last fitting though. The wedding is next week!

I must admit, the wedding has been motivating. My eating has been much better. The ice cream in the freezer is growing ice-hair. And I'm actually taking the time to sit around with those awful teeth-whitening trays in my mouth. Yuck.

-Nancy
 
Kali- I am glad you are feeling better today.Beleive me, you are not alone.I went through something myself this past summer and I didn't even know what it was but all I knew was I wanted to be ALONE.There were only certain friends I could tolerate, DH wasn't working and he was around ALLLLLLLLLL the time.I am glad i am out of my rut now but it took alot of soul searching for me to be happy again.

Charlotte-When I get a chance I am gonna look over this rotation.I know what you are saying about the seasons but in the winter time I get more time to workout on my own time b/c I don't go through the door! I hate the cold and I would rather stay home and workout then go grocery shopping.
I also hear ya on the addiction thing.I had a girl tell me one time that I was addicted and it didn't go over very well.I did put her in her place though.She was one of those people that was overweight growing up, she had lost the weight but yet she still felt like she was big.And she didn't like hearing anyone talking about working out.Someone asked me a question, I responded and thats when she got her little dig in.I try to stay away from working out conversations b/c I know there are alot of people who don't like hearing it.You know the people who wish they had the get up and go that we have, but yet they screw their noses up at us.I love those people!;-)

I just made a big salad for this weekend and a fruit salad.That should help me stay on track.I also bought a frozen spinach and chicken salad that as only 140 cals per 1/4 of the pizza.I was talking to my weight loss buddy and she said that she weighed and was up 1 pound....now I don't feel so bad.
Lori :)
 
The presale has started!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm waiting until DH comes home at lunchtime to order. Just want to make sure he's on board with this. But he's a pretty sweet guy, I'm sure he will be. ;-)
I want to order all 4. What about everybody else??

I just walked for 30 minutes. Now I HAVE to get in the shower and get busy!!!! The day is getting past me!
 
Hey Nancy... that fitting doesn't sound like a good time!! Great job on your eating also. It feels good when all our hard work pays off doesn't it!!!!?

Becky, you betcha I'm ordering!!!! That is one great price on the package deal... I couldn't believe my eyes!! Now I want more, I just don't know what to order. I have to finish up working now but will talk a little later. Y'all have to help me decide what to buy!!!
