STS first time!

Good afternoon ladies!!

Sorry you didn't sleep well Carolyn. Yes, I am out of my funk. It was really nice to have some alone time. Plus shopping always helps.

Today we are at the shore and I took a spin class at the local athletic center. It was a great workout. I did 21.5 miles! I forgot my heart rate monitor so I don't know how many calories I burned.

Marie, a 5 hour stretch is great. I couldn't of used phone or tablet while nursing either. Sounds like you are a pro.

Great job missy on the dinner last night an on the elliptical program today.

Jean, great job and the xTrain workouts. Thanks for the reviews. I am really nervous about these workouts for some reason. Hence why I haven't started. I don't know why. They looks great but really hard.

Hi Mary, I'm glad the new job is treating you well. I hope you have a nice time at your brothers.

Hi Betty, hope you are enjoying your family.

Hi Becky, hope you are your dad are doing well.

I need to go spend some time with the kids. I hear them yelling at each other. DH is helping his Dad in some house work.

BBL. happy New Year's Eve!!
 
OMG.....XTRAIN ARRIVED!!!

Okay...I just ate lunch...so now I am watching Young & the Restless....after....I am jumping in with Hard Stikes!!!! Will give you a review shortly!!!!
 
Okay....I just finished Hardstrikes... I also did the bonus heavy bag ....

It was amazing.....the workout was very HIGH ENERGY...the entire time....loved that!!! I was drenched when done....also....if you use the pink gloves....your hands do get sweaty...but...thats all part of it...right? As for the heavy bag section...it was fun....i am a natural red head...so i have anger in me...lol....so it was nice to hit something!!! Hehehe....the heavy bag section is only 12 minutes....so not sure if you should invest in one....but for me it was a must!!!! I enjoyed it!!!

As I sit her and try to type.....my body is literally shaking....the heavy bag section did me in!!! I guess....

Oh....and there is an ab section in the workout....it is killer....there is also a ab bonus...havent done that yet....

Thursty....gotta go get some unsweet tea!!! Yum yum!!! Lol
 
Jean-----I just watched a quick preview of The Biggest Loser....it gave me chills....I can't wait....only 6 days till the season premiere....It is a 2 night (4 hours total)....starts Sunday!! OMG....I am freakin out!!!!:eek:
 
Missy I am glad you enjoyed Hardstrikes. I was thinking of using my 1 lb hand gloves instead of the boxing gloves since I don't have them. Do you think that would be o.k. or should I just go bare hands?

I was so excited to hear that it is a 2 night premiere. I didn't realize it would be on Sunday. I am too excited.

I'm glad you got Xtrain today. What are you doing tomorrow?

Jean
 
Jean---I think the 1 pd gloves would be great...it gives you that added resistance/weight....I really enjoy using the gloves for that reason...your arms really feel it! When I saw it was a two night....I was so excited....I think it will be very emotional because of the children...I dont have kids, but if I did I would never live a life to subject them to childhood obesity....it is just terrible. People today need to learn how to use there kitchens, instead of a drive thru!

I made a homemade pot of spagetti sauce, so we are having spagetti tonight. I enjoy it every once in a while....but havent had it lately....so I decided to make a batch! It makes enough for 4 dinners....I freeze bowls, so I can take one out the night before...My husband loves the homemade sauce....we are not a fan of Rago/Prego.....

If anyone is a spagetti fan...I can give my friends the receipe.....just let me know and I would be more than happy to post it!:D
 
Missy That would be great if you posted the recipe. I usually use store bought which I always have to doctor up.

Jean
 
Breckin wanted to say Happy New Year's to everyone!

Hope you all have a good one.

Chill night for us 3. Just hanging out at home. We recently started rewatching Lost so that's our plan for tonight. We started watching it when it first came out but only got through season 3.

Happy New year Breckin!!!

Sending hugs!!!
 
Happy last day of 2012, everyone! Instead of going to First Night, we went to what I call First Afternoon, the activities for children. Good thing the wind is gone. Yesterday's windiness made the 6" ice over. It was indoors.

Jean, that's hysterical--I don't have a strong Boston accent and work hard at it. It's very painful on the ears to me!
You're so fast on the draw, starting the new rotation already! Wow.

Marie, thanks for reminding me about not eating so many sweets! I lose sight so easily! You're so disciplined! Great job! I am not.

Carolyn, sorry about your insomnia & knee trouble. Don't dwell on the surgery any more. You can continue the walking outdoors, or try speed walking even. Cathe will be here for you. We'll be here for you.

Mary, enjoy Chatham! So nice to hear your voice and that your job is going well.

Colleen, enjoy the shore. Was it affected by Sandy?
What's your lobster tail recipe? Is that the pastry dessert, or the seafood??:D

I did not receive my package today!:( It's unusual! Did the newsletter say it's all shipped? I haven't read it yet.

Missy, 800 cals?? Sign me up!
Can't wait for Big L!

I was up for a couple of hrs. It is just me Missy. I have done it for yrs. Hence the reason I look so old.
Marie, how I wish I had a handheld device when my kids were nursing! So often I would fall back to sleep while they nursed. That would always freak me out. Nothing like having a warm baby asleep on your chest though. Those were the days...
When do you go back to work? Are you ready? I bet you miss your coworkers. Are you going to stock pile milk, or do formula? I could never get much when I pumped. Then again, I only had a manual one, not electric. Maybe that makes a difference. My daughter weaned herself when she was 11 months. I think I weaned ds at a year. What did you decide about childcare? I hope it all fell into place for you. I know what stress it caused you.

My knee is kind of stiff feeling today. It doesnt hurt, but I am aware of a different feeling than usual. I dont see the pt until next week. I hope I can last!

Rest that knee of yours girl! You have got to be full on ready in the Spring to start XTrain with me ;) Speaking of, I still haven't received mine yet.

I go back Jan 17th. I ended up extending it a week. I'm only going to do 3 days a week, not to mention I like my job so that helps. I do miss the people I work with and I do miss caring for my patients. That being said I will miss my little man though. I do think it is healthy to miss him though and will make our time together even more precious. I have been pumping 2 additional times per day and get about 5oz each time so I have been stockpiling that. If we give him a bottle I pump to replace that as well. I have a pretty hefty stock in the freezer right how so I'm feeling good about that. As far as child care goes it is very minimal. I work some of Tony's days off which is a bummer since we won't have the full day together as a family but I would sooner have him be home with B so it works out ok, not to mention that we will have plenty of evenings together as a family. The weekend we need covered will be done by his mom and stepdad. We also have 2 Mondays from 2 to 5pm that will be covered by his dad. We do have a family friend on hand if we need her to cover anything but so far we don't. Works out quite well. B will get to spend time with his grandparents and in the meantime we don't have to pay for childcare :)
 
Betty---- i think me you and jean...will all be sitting in front of the tv....sunday night.....in heaven...i just love tbl......cant wait!!!!
 
Missy Thanks for the recipe. I won't be using wine. Is this hot because you have pepper flakes and hot sause? I will cook it next week and tell you how we liked it. It is always good to have speghetti sause in the freezer.

Happy New Year Breckin.

Have a nice New years Eve ladies.

Morning all!

Hi Missy! Assuming you're on the elliptical :)

I killed it this morning with IMAX 3 and disc 1. Back on STS! Those push-ups rocked my world! I barely made it through the first set without dropping to my knees. Apparently someone needs to work on lifting a bit more. Looking forward to some good results. My friend did disc 1 yesterday and was super impressed. She is new to Cathe. She knows I'm obsessed and will hopefully be joining in that soon ;)
