Morning all ~

Where is everyone today? Oh, right, Robin is at the beach but where's Deb? Deeeeeeeeeeeebbbbbb!!!! ;)

I just wanted to get us started but I think it's going to be quiet with people away and Tneah traveling.

Not sure what we're up to today, but I'll be doing CC #7 later.
 
Good Morning All:D

Checking in before taking off to the lovely SD! Yippee! Hope you all havea fabulous day!

Shelley, good morning chica! That CC is probably my favorite, have fun:D
 
Hi Shelley & Tneah!

Just checking in before we go to the mall. DH has to get his passport renewed soon so we're doing that at the post office at the mall, then do some shopping. It's going to be a busy day--also have to make a cake for Isaac's birthday (it's Mon. but we're celebrating today). I might also try to get a haircut. I want to do 4DS LIS at one point. Hmm, what else? There must be more if I was thinking it was going to be a busy day.

Anyway, hope to bbl to chat.
 
Happy Weekend!

Good Afternoon!

Sorry I did not get back yesterday, but I did go back just now and read all of Friday’s posts… everyone is pretty busy this weekend. I got back from having my car serviced and inspected, now have to go pick up the Fosamax ( bone junk I have to take), at the drugstore, then off to Dad’s to take him to dinner.

Tneah:
Love the boat, and no way do we think you are bragging. You and DH have worked hard and deserve to get what you want. Have a good trip back to SD. I am going to get some CC’s this weekend.

Shelly:
Glad you picked up a few things in the States! Did you go to the Outlet Mall and Target?

Lainie:
I agree with Shannon and everyone else, you have to be tested for more things, your tiredness is not normal… ( unless you were in your 50’s and experiencing the bigh “M”.)..too funny how you shop all over every day but order your food to be delivered! Happy Early Birthday to Isaac!


Allison:
I posted in my post that went to cyberspace, that you should try toothpaste on those bites..it really works! Yuk on that story about your co-worker… does she have no shame?

BG:
Are you going to go “crazy” your last weekend before Trainerman takes over? Eat all your favorites? LOL..just getting!

Robin:
HAPPY VACATION!

Shannon:
YEAH ON THE CAR!

Kristi:
I got the Lauren DVD, will try it tomorrow with a 10# DB I think to start, just to get some of the moves down…I am almost giving up on STS, 1RM, WM, and all that garbage…I don’t want to sound nasty, but to almost quote another poster here, “what is Cathe trying for? An Oscar? Great pic by the way!

Peggie:
Now you have me worried about doing that workout tomorrow…Yikes! Like I said above, I think I will try it with a 10# DB first.

Hi to anyone I missed!…have a great day ladies!

Deb













 
Hi, girlies --
It's very quiet around here today! I got up early-ish to go to the grocery store while DH did the lawn. I'm about to work out -- 4DS Cardio Power premix + 4DS calves + GS Legs floorwork.

This evening our family does our monthly Mobile Loaves & Fishes truck run to feed the homeless. I got some extra goodies for them at the store today -- water bottles, extra eggs to boil (we always run out), and extra candy -- nothing chocolate b/c it melts, but Tootsie Rolls, etc. They always seem to like the candy.

Have a great day, everyone!
 
Hey kittens

Just a quick hi to everyone. We have been at the beach all day and are now going to our neighbors for burgers and frisbee golf.

Just wanted to say hi to everyone.

BBL
 
Hey all,

Boy! This is a first for us meltees, we have so few posts today, wow. Anyway, we made it safe and sound. I went and gathered groceries-left the pita chips at the store thank you very much.;)
However I did pick up some chiliean sea bass that I will fix for dinner tonight, its a pretty fatty fish but so good for you and tasty.

See you all tomorrow...:D
 
Awwwwwwwwwww... what a sad melters thread!

How is everyone today? I got up and did CTX upper body split this morning. OUCH! Puttering this morning, then we're off to the lake this afternoon.

I'll check back in with y'all later!
 
I'm here! It Sunday, I am in San Diego...life it good! Our new boat arrives the end of this week, so one more week on our old boat which is fine with me, I love it. I instantly breathed a sigh of relief when I saw the ocean...I am more of a water person than I thought.:D

We are going to Coronada Island today for lunch...the rest of the day is probably gonna be a lazy one. I think I will do some itrain this morning and be done with it.

BG, thinking about you today, last day until you start your diet right? I am starting my "good girl eating plan" tomorrow in honor of you my dear.:p

Okay, boy, this thread is sadder than sad, I hate it when a bunch of us are not around. Big hugs to all of you guys!
 
Hey everyone

I'm starting cleaning up the diet on Monday too, in honor of Breckie. What a great thought Tneah. I am so glad you are where you want to be.

BBL
 
Yeah! I am so glad you are too Peggy!

That makes us even stronger, really making that commitment to cleaning it up. I think Shannon mentioned she is going to as well. If I know you all are doing it, it makes it easier for me too!

I am NOT going to go nuts with it, just cut out the nonsense that has been trickling into my mouth lately...I have been almost nonchalant about it, goldfish crackers, wine (my downfall cause it makes me hungrier as Kristi can attest to), fat free ice cream, whipped cream on my coffee again, even though I kicked that habit awhile back. Nothing too bad, but you know what I mean. I am super duper good about getting in my veggies everyday because I adore them, and I am also good with the protein, its the carbs that get me every time. I am thinking about doing the cheat thing on Saturday night--wine night, and Sunday brunch--where I can indulge in my favorite foods--mainly bread and butter!

And I know in 3 weeks if I am good, my abs and arms look so much better! The kettlebells will help too, I am going to do them 4 times this week, with one light leg/butt workout, plus my cardio and see how it goes. I am sorta sick of the weights, so am excited about trying this routine!


Shelley, that leg workout on P90X? Cannot say enough good things about it, I was thinking of bringing it with me, but there isn't enough room on the boat, but I can do some of those exercises in the gym. Those sneaky lunges are killer!:eek:

OK, off to do some cardio...its a steady state kinda day I think, nothing to gut wrenching planned, Sundays are like that aren't they? :p
 
Melting on Sunday!

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
I used all my smilies to try to cheer this place up!!!

YEA for eating like good girls in solidarity with Breckie -- I'm doing it, too!!!! I'm especially going to try to give up my vino in her honor; I can do it if I have a good reason, so here's to you, Breckie, and all you other awesome Melty Maidens!!!!

I dragged DH's hiney (sp??) out of bed to workout with me this morning. He's been really lax since we finished the challenge in June. We did BM2 abs, then he did the elliptical while I did BM2 Cardio Blast. My DDs told me yesterday that they want to run/walk the Nike Human Race 10K (http://nikeplus.nike.com/nikeplus/humanrace/index.jsp) at the end of August, so I'm going to add training them to do that to my own workout regimen this month. I don't mind -- I like bonus workouts, and I am a really good training partner b/c, once I commit, I can really stay on track if there's a goal in mind. And if I'm getting up early with them to walk or run, that'll help me resist those glasses of wine in the evening. We'll have to train early b/c of the heat & driver's ed.

Have a great day, everyone! I'll BBL!
 
A quick drive-by -

AWWWWW you guys are the BEST!!! Honestly, almost brings a little tear to my eye. This is not going to be easy, but knowing I have such a wonderful support system here makes me a little less afraid.

I betcha I don't "officially" start til Tuesday, since my first phone consult it Monday afternoon. I'm not sure when I get the program... the lady said sometime before Mr. Trainerman and I talk... which could mean any time today through tomorrow afternoon. But tomorrow is the day in my mind, and if I don't have the official plan, I'm pretending until I do get it.

I'll try to check back in later for personals my darlings -
 
Kristi, sounds like you and I are giving up the same stuff!;) Very nice, we can do it for sure, nice to have your support as well!

I'm off to the island today for a delish salad for lunch, its so dang good...if they have bread I will enjoy, but tomorrow? Just say no, and I will. Back to my rice cakes and carb cutter tortilla's...I use these as my carbs when I am being strict, I cannot do rice cause it makes me hungrier and I hate oatmeal, so these foods work for me.
 
Hi,
I'm just posting b/c I can't stand how low on the list we are b/c of our lack of activity today. It's depressing! Tneah, do you like those low carb tortillas? I love rice cakes -- esp. w/peanut butter -- but I don't like the texture of those low carb tortillas. I love oatmeal, though -- esp. steel cut, but I'll even eat instant. I know, that's gross. Okay, here's something gross -- my DD is watching "Unwrapped" on the Food Network, and they are talking about pork rinds and Twinkies -- yuk! Is there anything natural in a Twinkie?

Okay, I'll BBL to see if any of you lovelies have come out to play.

ETA: Hey, Tneah -- now they are talking about how Goldfish are made -- weren't you talking about eating some Goldfish recently? I know -- I need to get a life!

I adore those little crackers, they are more fun to eat than anything I think. I love Foodnetwork "Unwrapped!" :p

We are back from the island, lunch was a disappointment, we ate somewhere different so I had some gross salad.:mad: Ah well.
 
Hi, Tneah -- sorry lunch was yucky. I fixed yummy salads for lunch with some smoked salmon.

I'm sitting at my computer writing some sorority recommendations for girls going through Rush (or whatever they call it now) -- not my favorite task b/c I usually don't know the girls; they are just in National Charity League with us. So I have to make them sound fabulous based solely on their resumes. Back to the task.
 
Hi girls!

Well, we had a nice afternoon at the lake. I did nothing but lie on the blanket and Sophie and her friend played in the water pretty much the whole time. I snacked on very unhealthy things. Ugh.

Okay, if we're all in solidarity with BG, then I'm there too! *gulp* My eating has been so bad lately, I'm not sure how I'll do, but I'll sure try!

Tneah - sorry that you had a rotten salad. I hate when that happens! Yeah, those sneaky lunges are killer. I suspect those contribute greatly to the butt DOMS from that workout!

Kristi - good for your DDs for wanting to do the Nike Human Race thing! I don't have the Nike + system, or I'd try to do it too.

Well, I looked at the weather forecast for the week this morning and it looked beautiful. I just checked it again and it looks like it's going to rain EVERY SINGLE DAY!!!:( I'm so bummed. So much for all the fun, outdoor stuff we were going to do.

Has anyone seen the clips for Amy's new workout, Rumble? I'm not sure what I think, but I have a heavy bag just like hers sitting in my basement that I've never used, so it's tempting just for that reason. I can't order anything right now anyway, since Chris still doesn't have a job and doesn't appear to be making any effort at all to get one.

I hope everyone is back tomorrow!
 
Yea, Shelley's back to play!!! We will eat clean, we will eat clean! In the name of supporting BG, we will all help each other. I'm sorry about the weather -- maybe they'll be wrong!

I don't have the Nike+ either, but we have an actual race in our city, so we don't have to have it. DH has it, and he liked it alot, but it croaked while we were in Chicago -- we think it might have been the pressure of the plane. He took it in to the Nike store, but they didn't have any suggestion except to get a new device. He probably will since it's only $27 or something and he has the shoes.

I.WILL.NOT.LOOK.AT.ANY.NEW.WORKOUTS! I've bought too many lately. I must use what I have for a while.

Gosh, I sure hope they're wrong! They always seem to be right when they predict lousy weather and wrong when they predict nice, so who knows? I guess we'll just play it by ear, right?

Ha! Yea, I just did my budget for August and I'm not buying anything, much less new workouts. YIKES :eek:

That's weird about Todd's Nike+ going kerflooey on the plane.
