STS first time!

Colleen---Sounds good....I will start tonight! :) If we stick with this we will look fabulous when Santa visits!!!! :):p:D:eek:
 
Carolyn---Yes, I will use it during the 5k's. It pushes me to go faster because I normally listen to music with a fast bpm. I think I actually run better with music because I am not always thinking about running. I think I am able to go longer with it! How about you????
 
Carolyn---I know what you mean....I ate breakfast....was hungry 1 hour later...so I ate some pretzels...barely made it to lunch. Ate a veggie sub and some (Kraft Jet-puffed Mallowbites) Yum Yum!!! My treat of the day!!!

Have you had them????? Milk Chocolate Covered Miniature Marshmellows 24 pieces=130 calories/5g fat/22g carbs :D:eek::p:):eek:

Now I think I am hungry again.......I am not giving in untill 3pm......(my normal snack time!!!!!

It must be our period is coming.......I think next weekend :(
 
I can't run without music either. I need the motivation. Music keeps me going.

The picnic was fun but cold. The sun was out but a little breezy.

I'm in IT. I am an IT direction responsible for development and operations for actuarial applications. It ok. You can just call me a geek.

Apple TV lets you feed what's on your computer (or iPad, iPhone and I think iPod touch as well) to a TV. So I can stream music and videos on my TV without having to drag my computer into my workout room. I love it!!!
 
Hey everyone,
Had a busy day going into Boston, then meeting a friend for lunch, home, and then straight to my son's xc meet across town.

Very shortly the International Space Station flyby will happen. So cool!

It was finally sunny today, but so windy, I think my head is all funky from being windblown. Or maybe I'm dehydrated.

I'm feeling glute and hamstring doms from yesterday's TBT LB; must be the dixie cups!

iTunes is really neat. Have fun with that, Missy.

Carolyn, hope you were able to go for a walk. It is gorgeous out with the brilliant foliage colors! We'll be getting our first frost in the wee hours of Saturday morning.

ColleenD, at least you get a company picnic. A lot of companies don't even bother. It's a nice way to hang out with coworkers and not chat about work.

Jean, hope all is well at your sis'. This is very similar to how I like butternut squash: Roasted Butternut Squash Recipe : Robin Miller : Recipes : Food Network But I think you have to cook it way longer than this indicates. Read the reviews. I love salt, brown sugar, and butter with it!
 
I'm here! Sorry had a busy day. I was thinking about you guys and hoping you wouldn't think I was in labor. I'll make sure to keep you posted when I am. I went to a diaper study this morning with a girlfriend. It was a group of 8 women in their 3rd tri. A moderator led the discussion and another women recorded all our responses. Then there was a group of researchers and scientists in a back room listening to us. We discussed different options and features of future diapers. Some were pretty bizarre. It was real interesting though. Even better is that we got paid 150 dollars for 2 hours of our time :)

Tony and I hung out after that and ran some errands. It was nice to have the day with him.

Baby update....Hopefully this not not tmi. I'm a nurse so I'm all about tmi but I don't know where to draw the line with some people. Anyways I'm pretty sure I lost part of my mucus plug last night. There was a little brown thing floating In the toilet after I peed. I have had nothing else since but I figure it's some progress nonetheless.

Missy- Hope you got your iPod. Tony uses iTunes to update our iPods and says it's easy. Enjoy your 3 day weekend :)

Carolyn and Colleen- Nice jobs on the workouts :)

Betty- Thanks for posting that recipe. You all have me craving butternut squash now :)
 
Good Evening! My ipod is in my hot little hands!!! hehehehe :eek:

Funny story....In 2010--I received a itunes gift card for christmas from my hubby...I downloaded some songs back then....so tonight when I went back into my acount, I still has $4.00...hehehe :p There was a few free songs....also it still had all my purchases from before.....yeah!!! I have all my tunes on it and ready to go!!!!

Marie---as I work in the medical field...there is not such thing as tmi...and if there is...the patients dont care. I think you just get use to it!!

Speaking of tmi....I am not suppose to start my period till the end of next week, yet tonight I told Tim that I felt bloated and my boobs were swollen....I went peed and wiped and brown blood. My girls parts are all f***ed up!!! Looks like my period is coming early...:(

Oh well, I am not going to let that ruin my 3 day weekend!!!

Off to bed...Good Night! Chat tomorrow!:cool:
 
I was checking it out last night. I am so excited!!

Checking in with HC hardcore March ( it was the free one she sent me with my order). Another good workout.

Tomorrow I'm thinking maybe to the max or cross fire then a total body wight workout on Sunday. Not sure which one yet.

I'm off today and have a day if shopping and errands ahead of me.

got to finish up breakfast with the kids.

BBL
 
Good Morning Friends....Just finished an hour of running on the treadmill!!! :)

Showered, ate brekfast....and now leaving to go to the grocery store!!!

Colleen--Have fun @ athleta!!!

Be back soon!!!:eek:
 
Carolyn, sorry to hear about your daughter. Maybe just because its Friday? My daughter was hysterical today because a pair of jeans were too tight. Ugh. I chalked it up to her being tired. She's usually exhausted by the time Friday hits.

I'm sure once she's in the groove if the day she will be ok. Enjoy your day with your mom

Missy, I can't wait for athleta today!!!

Any news Marie???
 
Good morning! I pulled out S&G today. Honestly, I never remember what most of the newer workouts entail! I was gasping with all those planks, dragging, pushups on the discs, etc. Was thinking about HC while I was doing them though! Cathe's Sandra moves. Boy, have I got a long way to go!:confused:

OK, my eating isn't perfectly clean, but whenever I work out I see the handles around each of my sides:mad: They never shrink! I don't eat like the avg American, and though I like sweets, I know when to stop (mostly, :D). Ugh! Aggravating. I'd have to go hungry to shrink them, I think! And/or be super strict about white foods.

Carolyn, do you think the girl asking her to be quiet freaked Dylan out? There is something that's making her anxious.
Enjoy time with your mom.
How many classes of your daughter's grade? Our elem school is way too big. 3-4 classes of each grade. Over 400 kids in all.

ColleenD, enjoy Athleta! You deserve it! Shopping is fun!

Missy, enjoy your days off, and especially tomorrow! Good luck on your 5K!:)

Hi Marie and Jean! Marie, so thrilled you got to do the diaper survey! That's a lot of money. I'd have gladly participated! Sounds like you gave feedback for future editions of diapers! Cool. And it sounds like you're making progress! Fingers crossed. Nah, it's never tmi!

I have been looking at FB and the new workout blog many times a day! I'm obsessed:eek:! I always do this though!
How do those women look so fresh, even late at night?? I'd have bags under my eyes.
Carolyn, did you find the YouTube teasers? They're spontaneous <1-min things shot right after filming each workout. Three so far.

Ugh, just clouded over again! Chilly too.
 
Just got back from the grocery store...off to pick my hubby up and take him to lunch :) We only get to do lunch if I am off. We goes in opposite directions for work. I work in town---he works in the country! Our offices are an hour appart! Our house is in the middle. hahaha

Be back!
 
Well no news here. Slept in today. Tony has the day off so our plan is to go for a long walk. B has been moving a ton lately. I feel like he's trying to move down or something but can't. I keep thinking my pelvis opening is too small which will lead to a CS like my sis had. So many thoughts running through my head. As long as he is healthy that's all I care about. Just anxious to meet my little man :) Carolyn- Sorry about your dtr. That must have been so hard...poor thing. Glad to hear she is feeling better now. I as well always call it crosstrain and my mom will not stop calling her Cath lol....even several reminders later. Betty- I'm obsessed with watching the teasers and checking out all the pics on FB. I wish they would post them on the forums for everyone who doesn't use FB. Missy- Nice job on the workout. And so excited you got your ipod...just in time for your 5k :) Colleen- Have fun shopping....nothing better than buying new workout gear. Keep us posted on what you bought.

I'm back...it was so nice to have lunch with my man!!!

Marie---How long will the doctor wait before he induces? Just curious as I have never been pregnant. My kids have 4 legs :D
 
So I went shopping today and bought WAY too much. I did check out athleta but I was actually overwhelmed and their stuff is so pricey. So I didn't get anything from there.

I did get a new purse, pair of jeans, makeup and face products. Also got a couple sweaters, 2 camisoles to wear under shirts. I think that's it. Oh a pair if shoes as well.

Carolyn, glad to hear your daughter is ok. Hope you had fun with your mom. I with you on not feeling the workouts lately. That why I've been going lower impact lately. I feel I still get a good workout, but without killing myself. I think that's why I Ike the HC so much. They are hard but I don't have to think about how much I need to lift and it keeps my mind occupied because I have to considerate so hard in what I'm doing. Does that make sense??

Missy, sounds line you had a good day off.

Marie, I wouldn't worry. I'm sure your little man will be here before you know it. Both my kids were born on a Saturday.

Hi Betty!! Good job on S&G.

Jean, hope you are enjoying your time with your mom and sister.

Off to relax for a little. My feet are tired.
 
Hi all,

I've been out of town with my Dad getting him evaluated at the cancer center at Johns Hopkins. We got very good news there, after all but giving up hope, so we are ecstatic and celebrating! The docs actually feel they can CURE his cancer, after first only thinking they could slow the growth to buy him a little more time.

I finished up Week 3 with Disc 9 (Legs) today. I think this was my favorite of the leg workouts in Meso 1. I love the sliding discs! I'd used them in LIS Slide and Glide and in the Ab Circuits, but I really liked using them with the weights and at the end with the leg blast. I'm just loving STS and plan to use this system for a long time to come!
 
Thanks so much! You are all the greatest! Appreciate all the positive thoughts. Missy- I'll be induced on the 22nd. I think they would do it sooner if I wanted but I really want him to come on his own. On the 22nd I'll be 41w5d so that's the latest my dr would let be go. We shall see.......
 
Becky- We must have been typing at the same time. That is great news :) Sending even more positive thoughts your way!
