STS first time!

Oink oink...just came back from breakfast.

Jean, Cuda is 10 months. He just peed on the rug last night. Jerk. I am at my wits end with that!

I hate Sundays. Football football and more football. Yuck!
I need a nap. Everyone came home and put their jammies back on. I didnt. I feel like doing something but I dont know what.

Dont you just love sts Jean?! I am going to finish out meso 3. I still have doms from Friday! I need to somehow step it up with my leg routine. No more doms from b&g floorwork.

Feel like I am babbling. Ttyl

Good afternoon....i have been so busy today....i filled my ounching bag with sand....it took me several hours to do....it was alot of work...but it will be worth it!!! It took 250 pounds.....

Colleen----cuddles is adorable!!!

Jean--- thanks....

Thanks for all the compliments on my room!!! I am really excited to workout in there tonight....

We are having the inlaws over for dinner tonight....grilled chicken, salad for me, hashbrown cassarole and a veggie....
 
Betty I saw the previews of a movie for you to check out. It is in french with subtitles. It is called "The Intouchables". I am going to put it on my list. It looked really good. I also saw previews for " Playing for Keeps" which is going on my list also. Todays movie was very good. 5 stars.

Carolyn I wonder why Cuda refuses to get housebroke? Those boy dogs are a mess. I am going to try to stick with females in the future. Football is on in my house all day Sunday . I am just used to it. I can't see dedicating an entire day to it. I do love STS. It seems to be the only thing that I really stick with.

Missy Enjoy dinner with the inlaws.

Jean

Need to vent....since my gym has been closed for several days....i have gained a few pounds....not happy about it....i know i will lose them...but i am just pissed off! I feel like a cow!!
 
AB for me this morning. B started crying halfway through but I got him to calm down. I said....Come on little man...let mommy finish her workout. He did just that. What a good little boy :)

Went to my friend's son's wrestling match this afternoon and now back home just hanging out. B is sleeping on me. Love it!

Sorry Missy! I hate when that happens. Same thing happened to me when I went to the dr the other day. I knew I shouldn't have looked at the scale when they weighed me. It is very frustrating. I feel ya. You will lose it again in no time! You're a rockstar!
 
Missy! It looks sooooo good!!! I can't wait to hear how your first workout goes! Nothing like having something to give you the boost to want to workout!
I never thought about the skin thing. You are right. I will keep my mouth shut though. She has so many ailements. I know they will go away when she loses the weight. She too has nerve issues. It will be interesting to see how it changes.

Marie. OH MY GOD he is the cutest!!!!!! I love that smile!!
I had forgotten that you had never done the new w/o's! Aren't they awesome?! You really are doing amazing that you are able to jump right into those. I hope it works that way for me. Some how I think not!:confused: I tried running into the house yesterday because I forgot something. Big mistake! OUCH!

Colleen, your dog is adorable. My husband would have a cow if Cuda was on the back of the couch!
Your brownies sound delish. You might not want to know this, but they are even better when you eat them frozen! hee hee! they really are!
What incentive to get a 6 pack! I would love to go somewhere warm!
I gain weight from the belly button down! From the belly button up I am pretty lean. Just genetics. I will probably never have the other set to give me the full pack! lol! I would love to have Amandas abs!
Did you get your results yet? It has been a week right? or did they say two?

We put up our tree yesterday. It is really pretty. Cuda already broke an ornament! This is going to be tough, keeping him away. It just looks like a toy holder to him. My dh and ds are at hockey. A double game today so they will be a while. I should workout but right now I am hungry!

ttyl


I want Amanda's abs too and Jai's legs while we are at it ;)

I bet your tree looks lovely. We were lazy this year and didn't put one up. Next year for sure though :)
 
Good Morning Ladies. Today I did STS disc 1 ,sh,bi,ch. I have been craving STS. I only made it thru half of the pushups. I really enjoyed the w/o. Today I am going to do some packing and purging. Todays movie is going to be "Hope Springs". That looks really good.

Jean
Nice job on the workout! I was just thinking the other day that I never did get to Meso 3. I gotta check out those plyo leg workouts :)

Enjoy your movie :)

Thanks girl!!" It is so nice when someone truely understands....when someone says "oh you lose it again" it doesnt mean a damn thing...but from a fellow cathelete...it means bunches!!! Thanks again!!! We juat work so hard with our exercise...its hard to see!!!

Off to finish cooking.....inlaws will be here soon.
 
Thanks Carolyn....Enjoy the snow! We dont get snow....so if it is cold on christmas....that is the closest thing we get! hehehe :)

We have had snow flurries in jan/feb once or twice...and that was cool....but I do love my sunshine!!!!:eek:
 
Hi everyone,

This very late morning, I made crepes for breakfast. More like lunch by the time we ate. Then, I was cleaning, vacuuming, and decorating. DH also re-covered our dining room chairs with a nifty new fabric. I found a 'recipe' for cleaning the oven with baking soda, so I spread some out, kept moistening it with a water mist every so often, then I've been trying to scrub it clean. I shouldn't be doing this now! I have tons of stuff to do!

Yesterday all of us had dentist appts. After, I made the ricciarelli, the Sienese almond cookies. Delicious.

Carolyn, that sucks about your sore throat! Tea with lots of honey!

Marie, I'm going to do CF or TTM tomorrow; you've got me wanting them.:D Love these metabolic workouts!

Jean, I'll look up those movies, thanks.

And I'll look at pics of Breckin, Cuddles, and Missy's new workout room tomorrow. Thanks for sharing!

I'm going to watch a movie now while DH and DS watch the Patriots.

Sounds like sleet hitting my windows right now. Good night, all! I'll catch up with you tomorrrow!

Good morning and happy monday!!!

8 days till Christmas!!!

Up early and doing my cardio! So nice to have my house back together. Just a little nuts when things are out of place....Tim is as bad as i am...hehehe

Here's to a lovely week.....last week of work till christmas vacation.
 
Good Morning Ladies!!

Wow, I missed a lot on here yesterday.

Yesterday was a crazy busy day for us. I did get workout in though. I did the Booty Barre Plus arms and abs from Tracey Mallett. I really like it is. I only used 2 pounds for the upper body moves and I can feel it in my chest this morning. I can also feel a nice tightness in my legs, not full out DOMS, but we’ll see if they come a little later today. Oh, this morning I did my own routine on the spin bike and did 12 miles in 45 minutes. I woke up late and wasn’t really sure what I wanted to do. I really need to come up with a rotation on paper before xTrain comes out….

I got most of my presents wrapped yesterday and baked some cookies with the kids. I don’t think I sat down one time until 8PM last night. I have a few more little things to do this week and I think we are set for Christmas!

Missy, your room looks awesome! So happy for you! I know you’ll lose those pounds quickly. I’m up a pound this morning, but I know it’s contributed to the cupcakes DH brought home for me yesterday! He took my son out to run a few errands yesterday and they stopped at the store that makes the gluten/dairy free cupcakes and brought me home 2. I had one last night and put the other in the freezer.

I got an email from Athleta today, they are having their semi-annual sale with savings up to 50% off! No code needed.

Marie, great job on your workouts and getting back into a routine. It must feel good. Enjoy your first Christmas with your cutie pie!

Jean, Cuddles is spoiled little girl. She sleeps on our bed too. She was our first baby. She is one of the sweetest dogs I have never known.

Carolyn, my biggest problem is my oblique. My front is really flat but I can’t get rid of the slide muffin. I haven’t gotten my results yet. I called on Friday but they were not in yet. They said a week to 10 days.

Betty, the crepes sounded so good. How were the cookies? They sounded delish!
 
oh Carolyn, I hope you feel better. Good luck today. I know what you mean about having to a visual. Between orders on-line and hiding, I always forget what I have. we have all the kids stuff hidden in the basement and I need to get down there and do an inventory as well...
 
CSS for me this morning. It's been awhile since I busted that one out.

Breakfast was eggs and grapefruit. My MIL came over the other day with a nice fruit basket...YUM!

DH and B are still sleeping so I have a little quiet time to myself. My little man is 2 months old today. Time flies!

Walking the mall with a friend today and then Tony and I will head back after he gets off work to finish up the Christmas shopping and get a picture of B with Santa :)

Carolyn- I'm glad they have a police officer present at the school. I was thinking of all those parents having to send their little ones off today and got all teary. Glad your kids are home with you today.

Colleen- Sounds like you were busy yesterday! Nice job getting a workout in :)

Missy- Way to work that early morning cardio ;)

Betty- Mmmmm your crepes sound yummy! Bet that feels good to get the oven clean. I love a clean house but tend to ignore the oven :/

Hello to everyone else. Have a good Monday :)
 
Hello....I just watched premix for Hard Strickes....go to utube....it is awesome looking...I am so pumped! I just cant wait....Cathe also said she is hoping to have the dvd's back from duplicator next week....OMG....Happy new year to us!!!! :eek:
 
Carolyn---I am sure it is your period....I get in those moods before mine too. I want to eat like crazy the week prior...and I get fussy!!!! :eek: Hang in there.....Have you ever thought that maybe your knee bothers you in the colder temps???? I have artheritis in my right knee from a car accident....and when it is cold...I can tell...it tends to throb....only when it is real cold???? Just a thought?:p
 
Hey everyone,

It's raw, dark, and wet today. Lentil soup in the crockpot is soothing for such a cold, yucky day.

I did CF with the core premix. At 64 mins, it was 521 calories for me! Yowza! I loved the core section, which I've not done before!:eek: My knees are hurting!

Colleen, Cuddles looks so cute on the couch. She looks like a pampered pooch.

I know what you mean about buying gifts, hiding them, wrapping some but not others yet--so easy to lose track of what there is. This adds to the frenzy of December! Your mind jumping around trying to remember a million and one things.

Carolyn, we only got rain. School cancelled? Kids here would be ecstatic. You'll burn through the snow days in no time this early. (But maybe this is not unusual for NH.)
Cheer up, girl. Definitely go to your appt and give him a piece of your mind. You WILL be able to continue Cathe, you'll see. You already are. You'll need to modify for low impact, of course, which we need to do more often too, since those knees are not getting younger.
Do you believe in Airborne or zinc for colds? My b-i-l swears by it. Put a ton of garlic in your dinner tonight.
When DS has a sore throat, he is silent for as long as he has it. It usually is excruciating for him.
That's a huge jump in shoe size for the kids! Pretty soon, it'll be adult size because it's hard to find larger than kids' 6.

Marie, Happy 2 months to Breckin! I can't believe that pic of him smiling at the camera. How sweet. I love the car seat one! So adorable! Babies are born so alert, smart, and ready to go nowadays! Remember when all they did was sleep? All those birthing drugs.

Jean, I found some heavy cotton fabric, in what's called a 'patio stripe', at JoAnn's. Our chair seats were so embarrassingly dirty and torn up until now.:eek: The material is not as heavy as cotton duck cloth, but close. I inadvertently overbought in yardage, so DH doubled up. The duck cloth only came in solids, in colors I wouldn't pick, but would have probably lasted longer.

Missy, your workout room is better than any gym! So awesome, you lucky girl! What a dream place!:D Hey, I see you wearing a Boston tee?
