\\\\\ '''''squeaky clean weekend''''' /////

The taco recipe wasnt stellar. A little bland for us. I'm trying to get away from using the seasoning packet. Its pretty much just salt anyway.


Morris, I'm glad you had such a good day!
Isabel LOVES those Fiber1 bars. I have to keep them out of her reach!

Katie, LOL at Chris! Mike's form sucks too - he jerks the weight up w/ all his might. But...his muscles are GREAT! So who am I to argue? Im just scared hes going to get an injury.
^5 on a clean day! Yes, I've got cupcakes left!! I'm going to take them to FIL tomorrow!

---------------
I almost didnt WO. Everything was going wrong. My WO card wouldnt print. Then my laptop (I use it for my WO's) shut off!!!! By the time the dinosaur got back on I was in SUCH a bad mood. Had to get back online to see what my weights should be, which btw are entirely too heavy. My 1rms were basically worthless.:(:mad: As soon as it cmae back on it died AGAIN!!!! Well, actually, it was being really slow and I have a bad temper and I sorta punched the keyboard and THEN it died!:eek::p:eek: FINALLY I got it all going . Worked hard and had a great WO.
 
Evening!

Get this-my friend called to get together and I caved and said yes. I needed some adult company. She had suggested getting a pizza for the girls and I said ok. When it came time for dinner-she offered to get it and paid! When I asked how much I owed she said I could get the next time around! Yay!

I did STS3 and loved it! Can't say I'll be of the same mind tomorrow. I had DOMS for 3 days from STS1. Eats were super clean til the pizza and ice cream-so much for no sweets til Tuesday.

The girls have the Daddy/Daughter tomorrow-can't wait:)

Kate, stop with all your gourmet baking!! I'm getting fat reading your posts!

Morris, if we move I will definitely babysit:) Happy to hear your day went well:)

Katie, LOL about the husband-mine hates when I come downstairs while he's working out-he gets intimidated! Good job on the clean eats!

Off to put the girls to bed...
 
Nice night, Klaudia! No worries on the ice cream - protein & calcium are a fat-burning combo!;):D
Are all the grls going w/ darrin? Oh, what will you do with some time alone?!?!
 
Morning girls,

Scale is up again this AM - I'm assuming from the Belgium food! Ugh. I have some weird pain in my groin/hip flexer area. Not sure what happened. Not too bad and shouldn't prevent my WO but just annoying.

Today will be super clean because I have about 10 pounds to lose and that's just frustrating.

Girls want to paint... I'll be back in a bit!
 
good mvorning!!
angie, sorry about the scale. we all have such high standards. just think how far you have come! and be careful. i am petrified of injuries.

klaudia, girl time sounds worth it for a little extra cals. hope you have fun today.

kate, good job pushing thru the wo. what will you make today?

katie, lol about you and chris and the wo!

quick post for me - i got back from my run and my dog had isicles on her chest! it was cold but worth it to be out. also did cm2. will do cst later with katie's pure strength. lots of chores today too. bbl
 
Kate, ^5 on getting the workout in despite your many obstacles!
Angie, no worries on the scale, it's water weight. Eat squeaky clean today and FLOOD yourself with water, in 2 to 3 days it will be gone.
Klaudia, glad you got to enjoy some adult conversation and free pizza!!
Morris, icicles?? Again, you are nuts (and I say that in the most loving way possible:p).


Chris and I had a nice quiet evening out last night grocery shopping, dinner (I had salad), a few other errands. We went to Pet Smart to get some cat food and we fell in love with a kitten there:( She is 4 months old, black and white, very loving, definitely a lap cat. So I am going to call the SPCA and find out more about her tomorrow and we might adopt her. We already have two cats and a dog, how many more pets can fit in this house?? Morris, she's got a little bump on the side of her belly and there is no fur there, any ideas what that could be?

We have NOTHING to do today. Nothing. I guess I will work on laundry, do some abs and stretching, bake:p. I really wanna go shopping for spring clothes but I have no money!!
 
Morning ladies

Sorry I was MIA, busy day y-day shopmax familymax and movies.

Katie did the people in Pet Smart say what happen to her? Enjoy your day.

Morris burn those calories with your choremax

Angie is the pain on one side?

Klaudia I'm glad your friend finally "got-it" & I'm glad that you did not pay.:)

Kate sorry about computerdrama. Mines been slow I know I need a new firewall. Those 1rm can drive you crazy!:rolleyes:

Katie MEN :p even the guys on STS looks like they want to cry.:D

Anne what's new?

No w/o y-day but today I'll do cardio on step machine and kbell core.
 
Hey girls,

I think I've decided I need a mental health week. I'm going to try to get time saver type workouts in and just leave it at that. Starting in March, I will push forward full steam. I'm just feel exhausted. Maybe I'm just having a bad day...

I went for a short run today. My hip/groin was fine but my knee started to hurt. I've been in a bad mood all day... hopefully tomorrow will be better. I'll check in then!

angie
 
Anne sorry about your friend not picking up the phone. That will annoyed me too.

Angie when was the last time you took a week of recovery?

Colleen how was Mardi Gras party? That always remind me that Lent time is coming.

Hi Everyone!

I had a good time at the Mardi Gras party last night. This morning I went solo to the grocery store (Chris usually comes with me) since he had to go install a server 2 hours away from here. We have a wet snow falling this morning and I saw some people playing tennis at the courts I drive by. They are either really dedicated or really crazy. There is a nice indoor tennis club near my house.

Kate, I hate it when computers don't work but Chris usually resolves the problem. I just have to be careful when I bring up a problem because he'll try to find the cause and I just want it fixed for now.
Katie, how nice not to have anything to do - maybe next Sunday.
Angie, sorry about the scale. Eat clean, drink lots of water and the scale will forget you indulged this weekend.
Anne, that is really rude that your couldn't meet your friend's new boyfriend.
Klaudia, I hate budget pinching. I am really worried that we are going to have to do that soon. My company keeps cutting one thing after another. The latest was no more matching 401K contributions.
Morris, I dream of Spring when I can run outside. My treadmill budget is going toward a weekend away. Maybe by fall I can finally get one.
Robin, what movie did you see?

Off to do some stretching/yoga.
 
Robin, I'm not sure I've ever purposely took a rest week. I think maybe I'll do stretching and core and see how that goes. We leave for Disney on thursday so rather than be disappointed in myself all week, I'll just have low expectations. :)
 
Hi girls!

I must have slept really weird last night because I can barely move today-the left side of my neck and back are killing me! I have no range of motion. I took a 600mg Motrin and am hoping it eases up by this afternoon-I am supposed to do STS2. Darrin got home at 5:30 this morning so I'm trying to keep the house as quiet as I can-no small feat-so he can get some rest before the dance this afternoon. He's taking the two older girls. Luckily Nevena goes down for her nap before they leave or she would be very upset not to be going. I'll be watching college basketball and the Oscars preshows:)

Katie, enjoy doing nothing!

Angie, give yourself a break. It's not worth risking an injury. And take the water advice-I had pizza and popcorn-the really salty kind-and I will be guzzling it, too.

Morris, you ran outside?! I can't wait to do that again-not til next month-or April;) I am not of fan of the cold plus my asthma really flares up when I run in cold, dry weather.

Colleen, glad you had fun at the party. I'll be working Fat Tuesday at my aunt's bakery. There's a Polish tradition in our area of eating these really fattening filled donuts called Paczkis (poonch-kis) the day before Lent and my aunt makes dozens of them! You only make them once a year. It's a crazy day that gets lots of media coverage. It's a fun day to work cause I get to visit with all the old regulars who used to come in when I worked there in high school-and eat my weight in donuts, too!!

Robin, those Tyler Perry movies always look so funny!

Hi Kate and Anne!

Gotta start dance prep...
 
Hey, everybody! Sorry I didn't make it back yesterday, I had a lazy computer-less day. I did laundry and stretched out on the couch reading my book. Then I listened to the soundtrack of Spamalot while I cooked dinner. When DH got home from work we had a nice dinner (that pasta/chicken/peanut sauce dish I make) and watched a movie. It was really nice.

Klaudia, I'm glad you had fun with your friend last night.

Angie, don't beat yourself up, just take it easy this week. I'm glad you had fun in Belgium. Do you mind sharing what you ate? I miss the food there. Can anyone say pommes frites? With curry ketchup, yummmmm.....

Robin, I'm going to a movie today, too. I'm going to see Coraline.

Katie, how nice to have a free day! Enjoy it.

Colleen, the party sounds fun. I saw people out running in our snow storm yesterday. I guess I should have thought of Morris, huh? But it was really bad here!

Morris, glad you had a great day yesterday!

Kate, where was the rodeo? At the pavilion,I presume? I saw the Lippazanner (sp?) Stallions there last year. It was really fun.

And I hear you guys on the guys working out! My DH only works out alone. I would love to work out together, but he spends all day dealing with people and it's his only me time, so I don't bug him about it. At least he's doing it!

I did 4DS Kickbox this morning. I'm going with 4DS again this week and then I'll decide about what to do in March.

Gotta get cleaned up! See you later.

anne
 
hey ladies...i only have a second to say hello.
my internet/stupid laptop are acting up.....cloudy day:mad:

ROBIN! trying to send you a pm, but it says you cant get them?????
 
Klauda, how are your neck and back? Any better?

Kate, sorry for your computer woes.

I just went to the movies and saw Coraline. It was pretty good. A friend of mine from work recommended it and there wasn't anything else out that sounded good, so I went. What I didn't anticipate was a theater full of children. I should have, of course, but I didn't. It's a 3-D movie and the previews are 3-D as well. During the previews they were all oooohhhhing and aaaahhhhhing a lot and I thought, "Oh, brother." But, once the movie started they all quieted down, so that was good.

Katie, that's so funny that you made a quesadilla yesterday--I did the same thing. No pico, but I had corn tortillas, cheddar cheese and onion. I'm making them for dinner tonight, too, but they'll have refried beans and green chilis as well. I just can't get enough Mexican food.

Did I tell you guys we're going out tonight? We're going to something called DanceBrazil. It's supposed to be a fusion of drumming, dancing, and martial arts. DH has to work until 6 and it starts at 7, so we'll have to eat just as soon as he gets home and then head out. It should be fun, though, it certainly looks very interesting!

Hi to Colleen, Robin, Angie, and Morris! I probably won't be back tonight, but I'll be around tomorrow.

anne
 
Well Chris called about an hour ago and said don't expect home for dinner. He is obviously having a bad day because he was just complaining about everything. I am enjoying the quiet and getting some things done but procrastinating on what I really need to do. Need to also figure out something for dinner - I just went to the grocery store but the meat I bought assumed both of us would eat it.

Kate, sorry about the laptop problems. Normally I would tell you Chris could help but he's not having a good day with computers.
Robin, I never watched any of the Madea movies. Maybe one of the movie channels will have one of the older ones so I could watch it.
Klaudia, ouch - sorry about your pain. I hate when I do that but I have icy hot patches that really help (I just have to deal with the smell).
Angie, I have a hard time taking rest weeks. The last one was in October when I was on vacation. I sometimes take a couple of days off if I am not feeling well.
Anne, your Saturday sounds great. I really need to find time to read a book.

Off to finish laundry and chop veggies for the week.
