Good Morning Ladies,
Is everyone ready to start the craziest week of the year? Do you have a choice? :)
I didn't workout yesterday and today I really want to squeeze in both things.I had our new couch delivered just then.Its so nice and it looks huge.It makes the dog look small and he is 115 lbs (as of last year this time)He could be bigger now.My mom is comming in today and she wants me to go shopping with her but I am going to workout first.
The scale is standing still at 127 lbs which I am o.k with b/c I have not been eating well at all.When I weigh I always think it is going to be up.Today I am going to try and get control over this eating.I am not eating alot but I'mm not eating my meals like I should be.Instead I am picking at unhealthy things.
FFD-I can't beleive all of the new workouts you have been trying.Did you just purchase these? They are good workouts but I am not a kickboxing fan.I wish I were.I think the new workouts are going to be tougher then the BB series(Im hoping)Then again, can it get any harder then some of the other workouts shes made?
I hope everyone is doing well.I am going to get started on some cleaning.I think when I go to the mall I am going to look for some material to make some pillows for my new couch and maybe a valance for my window.
I will check back later,
Lori:)
 
Good Morning Ladies...I did not do that well at either of my Xmas functions this weekend. It is so hard!!!!!

I might be daring and weigh myself tomorrow, MIGHT.

I hope to workout today. I am feeling very emoitional and lazy today.
Lori
 
Yes, I am ready! Have to work the next 3 days, then off for about 10 days (I desperately need it). Will be hauling all my Cathe equipment and vids home to NC - I know my family will love it!

Lori, I am having fun trying these videos, but I am craving one I'm familiar with. I was so sore this morning I couldn't workout as planned, but I was proud of myself, I did Karen Voight's Pure and Simple Stretch instead of doing nothing. I'm hoping to walk for at least 30 minutes between clients later today. I don't like kickboxing as much as Cathe's step, hi/lo and weights, but I actually think its going to be an important alternative to step for me. I find my body adjusts really fast to step and that kickboxing seems to help me get leaner. And, I don't think Cathe could make a video I wouldn't like!

And both of you, don't despair too much about the eating. When I was traveling a few weeks ago, I was eating stuff that was definitely not healthy, but I'd have just enough to satisfy and tried not to eat when I really wasn't hungry. Had to leave the structure of WW and trust my own hunger and fullness - and over the 2 weeks I lost 2 pounds! Hey, maybe I should try that again!
 
WOO HOO!!!!!! I did work out today. I did a Slim series workout, Shape It Up. I am going to do those for the next couple of weeks. I am going to NC too, the day after Christmas. we are driving straight thru from MI, and will be there thru Sat., then drive home. My step-son lives there. I am going to bring my SS, and do those while I ma there. It doesn't take alot of equipment to bring those. Have a good day everyone.
Lori
 
I did BM today.I haven't done that workout in a while.I only got to do Back and Chest though, I am hoping to finish the rest tomorrow.
I didn't eat a lot today due to the fact that my little girl had an incident on the bus.A little girl slapped her in the face so being the crazy mom that I am, I took matters into my own hands.First I went to the bus stop to ask her what her last name was and of course she wouldn't tell me.I told her not to worry about it, I will find out myself.Then I went to the school and talked to the principal about it.He then talked to both of the girls together.As soon as I said the kids name, I saw his face change.She is in trouble all of the time.I was then sick to my stomach b/c I hate conflict.I didn't know if I was doing the right thing or not.I knew it was useless to talk to the parents b/c they were worse then the child.Then I was thinking about what stories the kid would add on to my story.And I figured the crazy mom would come knocking on my door.At this point I really don't care,I got my childs side of the story and as far as I am concerned,its the right side.Shes never been in trouble before and this other kid needs her mouth washed out with soap.Anyway,other then that my day was o.k. I am going to keep her off of the bus until after christmas.
Lori:)
 
Lori, that's terrible! How old is your little girl? I think riding the bus is a privelege, and if the child can't handle it, she shouldn't be allowed to ride. Of course, I'm thinking as you were of the kind of home life she must have to be getting in trouble at school all the time...
 
She goes to bit of a harder bus stop.Its located down around "low rentals",people who don't work and society takes care of them.Not that some of them aren't good people BUT in these houses some of the kids are crazy.I just think how sad it is that this is our future.Some people don't care how their kids are raised just as long as they are making it through.I hate to see what they are going to be like when they get older.
I went to the bus stop and asked her her name.She wouldn't tell me.Then her brother came out of no where and told me that my little girl hit her first.I said"I doubt that, but if she did you didn't have to hit her back.".Then I said,"you are her brother aren't you? Then that makes sense".
My little girls story (shes 8) This little girl was trying to embrass her on the bus by telling people that my daugther liked this boy.My daugther then put her hand over the other little girls mouth and she hurt her sore lips.How was she suppose to know? Then she hit my little girl in the face and started swearing on her.When I saw the tears in my daugthers eyes,I couldn't resist going to the school.Hitting is not tolerated in my books.If you can't solve things with words then leave well enough alone.
I then told the principal that I wasn't here to cause trouble, I just didn't want my daugther to be scared to go on the bus.He said not to worry and he would talk to the girls.At the end he told them to apologize,my daugther did,while the other kid didn't say anything.The teachers no to well who is to blame here.I am not saying my child is perfect but who would you beleive.A kid whose never been in trouble or a child that visits the principals office once a week?
While he was talking to them my daughter said that the little girl said that I called my daughter an angel,(lie)I pulled into the parking lot so fast I splashed them(I parked on the other side of the road)and there was something else.I can't beleive these kids are being raised to lie and beat up on other kids and no one cares.What do they have to fear? There is no discipline in the homes.These kids are home by themselves,to raise themselves.Who is going to tell them that they are doing wrong?
Anyway,i think I handled it o.k I was just afraid that the little girl was going to lie more then she did.I had a knot in my stomach all afternoon.Hopefully it as all blown over,
Lori:)
 
Lori, Good For You!!!!!! You stuck up for your child, and that is so important.

I did another SS today. i am going to do them for awhile, then I did a Firm cardio, Express Cardio. it is pretty tough one. it is there new set, and they are alot tougher than their last workouts. Eating has been so tough!!!!!! My SIl had a party this aft5ernoon for her Premier group, and she served Lasagna. I ate one piece, some garlic bread, and some salad. It is so hard!!!!
Lori
 
Hi Ladies,
Thanks for your support.I feel alot better today then I did yesterday.I know I did the right thing.They didn't cross paths today,which is a good thing.She probably won't do anything else b/c I am probably marked as the crazy mom.I hope so:)
I haven't worked out yet today.I worked all day.i was going to workout between jobs but I had to pick my daugther up from school so I would have ran short on time.I have more time tonight so I will workout then.
I will check back later,
Lori:)
 
Hi ladies,

Glad you are feeling better about your daughter's situation. You did the right thing.

I haven't worked out in days!! I am so lazy and running around like a chicken with my head cut off at the same time. I have to fit a workout in tomorrow! I feel so depressed when I don't exercise.

Off to dinner at my sister's house. Have a great night.

Lori
 
Hi ladies,

Whoever said eating has been hard is right! All I want to do tonight is go out for a good, nonWW dinner and have some wine. But tomorrow is weigh-in... boo hoo...

Did 15 minutes on the mini trampoline this morning and Imax just now. Made it through 7 intervals again without stopping the tape, although my energy was pretty low. Plan to do rhythmic step tomorrow morning (yeah right, every time I say I'm going to workout in the morning, I don't.). Well, we only have a week and a half left til we're on the other side of this holiday! Maybe eating will get easier in the New Year?
 
Good Morning Everyone,
I am so full of energy today.I don't know if it is the excited of christmas or I had enough sleep last night:) Either way,I don't feel like I need this coffee that I am drinking.
I ran last night for 50 min.It was a good run and my knee didn't hurt.I am not sure what workout I will do today.I need to do tri,bic,shou, and cardio.When I was running last night I was watching the "biggest loser" again.It was just a look back on the other shows.
The scale was nice to me today.I am back in my 125 range.I am hoping to stay there and not go back up.Every year I lose weight b/c of the hussle and bussle but this year I think I have been losing it on my own.I haven't really been that busy.I have my christmas shopping done for a while and work hadn't been to crazy.This makes it easier to keep it off in the new year.
I have a few things I have to run out and do and then I am going to workout.We also have party to go to tonight.I am not really looking forward to that b/c I have to work at 6:30 in the morning so I need my sleep.
I will check back later,
Lori:)
 
Good Morning....VERY, VERY emoitional today, and very low energy. I am going to do a SS workout today, and hopefully tack on some cardio. Have a good day everyone. I hope to be more chipper tomorrow.
Lori
 
LoriSax, I hope you are feeling better. I have had the "blues" a little myself. I think it is from not exercising.

Lorihart, I admire your consistency in your exercise. You are truly dedicated. I could only hope to be that disciplined.

Today I am cleaning a little, going for a facial, and making Christmas crafts with my 4 year old. Have a great day.

Lori
 
I guess I don't have as much dedication as you think b/c I didn't workout today:-( I ran up town to do a few things I had to do and when I looked at the time it was 11 and I had to work at 1.There just wasn't enough time.And I was very busy at work today and tomorrow will even be worse.I have to work 12 hours! I do it almost every Thurs but it seems worse now that christmas is just around the corner.
I blew off the party I was suppose to go to tonight.It was just to confusing.I didn't have babysitter,I have to work at 6:30....the list goes on.
I am hoping to get a run in tomorrow between jobs and if I am really dedicated I will do weights tomorrow night.But for some reason I think I will be pooped.Any shopping I have left to do will have to be done tomorrow on my lunch break.
I ran into a friends mom tonight and she screwed up her nose at me and then said,"my,you've gotten awful small,you weren't that small before,were you?" She had the look of disgust on her face though,like I was starving myself.I get that alot though when I have dress pants on and a coat that covers your hips and bum.I think it was the outfit.
Anyway, I have to go to bed.I don't even know if my post made sense!
Lori
:)
 
Lorihart-Your friends mom was probably jealous. You know as long as you are eating enough and getting in your nutrients, good for you that you are small. People are so big nowadays, they don't even know what a normal body should look like. I am going to bed, I have been on this computer forever, I should of been working out with Cathe!

Lori
 
Everyone must be pretty busy! I am so tired! And I still have a few things before I can rest and go to bed.I just blew up at my daugther.She kept asking why she had to go to bed and I kept telling her that there are things I need to do and I can't do them until she goes to bed.And she is so stubborn! Finally I lost it! I told her I have worked 12 hours today,my feet are tired,its 11 o'clock and you are going to bed.
DH said he cleaned the house but it looks far from clean.I have to work tomorrow until 1.Then drop gifts off.Pack to go to my moms and lots of odds and ins.I should make a list.
HOW WAS EVERYONE ELSES DAY?????:)
I did fit a 30 min run in today.I was pleased with that.Normally I get to workout on christmas eve but I am driving to my moms house later in the afternoon,and thats when I would normally workout.
Oh well....if I get time I will check in tomorrow.
Merry Christmas!
Lori:)
 
I am way tired too!!!! I do not know if I will work out today or not. I know I need too, but I don't ewant to. Maybe a Firm today, like Super Cardio.

My diet has been so-so. I am trying to be good, but food is everywhere. We are leaving for NC Sunday morning at 4. I will still check in, they will let me use their computer.

Merry Christmas everyone!!!!!!!
Lori
 
Just wanted to say MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!
Its been a busy day but I finally get to sit down and relax.The hussle and bussle is pretty much over.Thank God.
I am excited b/c I think my high step is upstairs.I didn't think it was going to be here and if that is the case I will be trying it out tomorrow.
I didn't workout today either.I just didn't have time.
I think I will have time to check in tomorrow.
Lori:)
 
Good evening and Merry Christmas,

I am glad Christmas is over! What a day. I am exhausted and my throat is starting to hurt because I am run down. I just got home a little while ago from my in-laws, I am in my jams now and it feels so good to be home.

Of course I ate too much today and didn't work out. I haven't run in so long and I have a 5k to do on Feb. 5. I better get busy!

I hope everybody had a nice Holiday.
