[missyt]

Good Morning! I got up and hit the treadmill running this morning....

Colleen---Thanks for asking....Tim is doing a little better...no more fever just nasal congestion....he went to work this morning.

Carolyn---Modify Modify Modify!!! I do it all the time....expecially with the discs....due to back issues, I know what I can and cant handle!

I havent had anything bad today......hoping to continue on this at least till sunday...LOL....after I wear my bikini....hehehehe....my friend I am going with is a tiny one herself...so I have to look as thin as I possible can. LOL She can make a skinny one look fat!

Hope everyone has a lovely day!

Going to nail salon after work today for pedi's....our toes must look good on the beach!

Hi my friends!

Rocked AOLIH with BS Chest and 100RC Scarecrows this morning. I just love XT, esp SC, AOLIH, and BS. I love that it's a complete workout set. I have never felt that way about 4DS.

Jean, need to hear from you!

Carolyn, that is so awesome you had a solid night's sleep! Thumbs up!
I'm certain you'll exercise when you get home--you have the beach bikini incentive!
That's so funny what you say about you doing everything, and DS not finding anything without you. So true! I even showed DS where I put certain things when packing for Nature's Classroom--of course he didn't remember! Lugged it there for nothing!
Alas, I didn't go to the North End. Too far on a weeknight. I love it there, but DH doesn't care for Italian much.
Get on the OP and chia!!! You have it right there too!

Colleen, that stinks about the headache; hope you slept it off. I woke with something too, but got rid of it by either doing a forward bend with head hanging down (never tried that with a headache before), or having hot soup, or both. Thank goodness!
Great job not caving in with the sweets, especially being under work stress! I give you tons of credit for working and exercising. It's so tough to find time to work out with a full-time job.

Missy, you needn't worry about looking good at a beach. You'll be smokin' hot! You too Carolyn!
I would love a mani/pedi, facial, and massage!

Like Carolyn said, it is soooo cold and windy! Yesterday's windchill was in the 20s!!! This is after 60 degrees on Monday!

Hi Mary and Marie!

 

[missyt]

Good Afternoon....

Thanks Betty...you are too sweet!

I am still being good...no sweets day#2.....oh yeah....I feel much better already! Or is it in my head???

The hard part...is in the evenings....I want to snack...and then I crave my skinny cow ice cream....But trying to say no!!!

BBL!!!

 

[cdimatt]

I had a piece of chocolate. Work stress got to me.-.

 

[cdimatt]

Betty, great job on AOLIH. I am so happy you are enjoying xTrain so much. Yes my headache was gone when I woke up. It was due to my allergies. Tree pollen is high hight now and I'm highly allergic to trees. I actually have an allergist appt tomorrow to get retested to see if the allergy shots are helping. I hate allergies. Thank you for your kind words. I would be a mess without my daily workouts. It helps with my stress so much. Funny my DH had to get up at 5 today an as he was getting ready he told me. I don't know how you do it everyday. Sometimes I don't either, but I love the benefits, heath, physical and mental. I usually handle my stress well but somethings are going on at work that I cannot control and it really getting to me.

Jean, wow. You have been a busy lady. Great job with all the painting. You much be exhausted. Good luck tomorrow. I bet you are excited to see the progress that is being made. You are so close now. Be safe with all the driving.

 

[mfv3]

Quick check-in for me. I've been so busy between B and work these past few days I've had no time.

No workout for me today. I felt sleep was more important and B slept in today so mama did too

Working now. Worked yesterday too. It's been crazy here. Is it a full moon?! Lots of behaviors.

Gotta run and give report to the next shift but I wanted to make sure to stop in and say hi.

BB soon!

 

[missyt]

Good morning! My toes are sexy now!

Came home last night...cooked dinner and watched some tv with Tim. I think it made him feel better. Today he is feeling much better...stil not a 100%.... but getting there.

Today...we dont have a dr in house....so it casual jeans day....yeah! And we get to leave a 2 pm. I work for the besr drs!!!! Just love em! Gotta run some errands afterwards....them coming home and doing hard strikes!!!

Collen....i feel the same about my morning cardio....if i dont do it my day is shit! I will drag my butt all day!

Carolyn...did you forget....our husbands are men.....they dont listen about there health...thwy think there bullet proof...boy are they wrong! Lol....

Okay....all warmed up...gotta get a move on the treadmill!

Bbl!

 

[missyt]

Jean....so glad to jear from you...drive safe today....i am sure you will have a very exciting day....make sure you take lots of pictures....so when its all done...you can put them in order and see the progress. So exciting!!! Sounds like wirh all thw house work...you are definately getting in your workout! Hugs! And dont forget us...we always miss you!

 

[Bettypcw]

Carolyn, my sil used to buy slippers for DH at LL Bean. Around Xmas I bought a pair for DH at TJM.

Wow, Jean, that's intense! I'd have gone nutty already with all that painting! Great job being so disciplined!

Marie, love hearing about your patients going wacky. What's a sundowner again? Been meaning to ask.

Missy, I love red! That's what I usually use in summer.

Colleen, so sorry about your allergies! I feel the pain for people who have them! Good luck!

 

[cdimatt]

Marie, yes sleep when the baby sleeps. That us so important!! I would always nap when my kids nap.

Carolyn, glad you had a good nights sleep. I hate it when I have to wake up to go potty. My DH always seems to wake up at 4:30 to go. Which wakes me up and then I only have 30 more minute to sleep. I should just get up at 4:30 but that is way too early. I will let you know how the allergist goes today. Have fun your your walk.

No workout for me today. I didn't sleep well and was too tired this morning. Oh well.

Missy, you toes look pretty. How is you do with your eating last night?

I am loving the arm definition I am getting with ballet body. It totally is the long and lean look. Which I LOVE. Especially since I can't bulk up and with being short I think the long and lean look better on me.

 

[missyt]

Hello friends.....

Carolyn----I love sexy!!!

Colleen---I did well....I havent had anything bad since monday....Day 3 today.....

Would you consider a skinny cow ice cream sandwich bad? I mean it is much healthier than regular icecream...... I love my skinny cow...do you think if I have maybe 2 a week it would be okay????

Betty---its big apple red.....i call it hooker red....LOL....the salon laughs at me....he said I got your red....I know what you want!!! LMAO

BBL....

 

[missyt]

Carolyn---Since you say Skinny Cow is okay...I am having one tonight!

 

[Bettypcw]

Colleen, long and lean I'd very much prefer! You are making me want BB too. Wouldn't be able to fit them all in! Also, it seems like it would be bad for my knees, all that pulsing on your toes stuff.

Carolyn, just feed that thing whenever you get hungry. Cathe makes our furnace constantly burn calories anyway. Not to worry.

Nothing much going on. Nice and sunny and back to cool spring, not like the past 2 days' f-r-ee-zing spring.

 

[maryk]

Good grief, I am sneaking in from work, typed up a long post, and it disappeared! I'll have to shorten it up.

I am alternating UY with Cathe cardio workouts. I forgot to mention, on the Yin workout Travis says several times to do it before bed and get a really good night's sleep, so I will try that next time. I also did Detox, which is lots of twists, and today was Vitality, which had more backbends. I really liked Vitality, it wasn't as strenuous as some of the others but it was a good workout and I actually felt energized afterwards. In the 108 day rotation Travis repeats these 6 disks for the first few weeks, so I plan to do that as well. Next up will be Crosstrain, which is my favorite so far.

I am having a hard time fitting ab workouts in, I was able to do them during Xtrain so will have to figure that out. And my hamstrings are giving me trouble, especially when I sit for long periods (which is most of my days). I tried stretching but that seemed to make it worse.

Carolyn, is DS ready for next week? My girls' bags were always packed to the brim, then it was worse when they came back because they just shove everything in, including wet stuff. And you are leaving for vacation the day after I come back.

You are all so good about your eating. I have been eating the candy, I love the milk chocolate cadbury eggs. I just shouldn't buy them!

Colleen sorry to hear about the allergies, the pollen will be heading our way soon. I hope the work stress improves, I know what that is like. Thank goodness we have our workouts!

Missy, love the toes!

Betty, I have to pull out AOLIH, that is a good one.

 

[Bettypcw]

Carolyn, I ran upstairs to check my sports bra! I thought we bought the same one! Turns out mine is by Marika, a new style. The best fitting one I have by far!
Too bad about your knee, but great self-control and taking charge of the eat-and-shop situation.

Mary, love the UY details! Do those abs! Think Puerto Rico! I myself will do my second abs workout of the week tomorrow.

Colleen, I think DS is allergic to tree pollen. I feel powerless to help him.
You must be smokin' hot with your BB body!

Time for the bike soon....

 

[cdimatt]

Hi Ladies!!

I did not eat well tonight. Uggg. Two cookies and graham crackers with PB. Tomorrow is another day and I will do better.

Believe it or not Betty, BB helped with the rehab of my knee. My knee had been 100% better. I still watch impact an jumping but what a difference.

So tonight after reading about Mary and UY. I did yin yoga tonight. It felt wonderful. I can't tell you girls enough how much in love UY. I could actually feel my body stretching out while holding the poses for 3-5 minute. I hope it helps me sleep better tonight.

Carolyn, go stretch out the knee. I think you would really benefit from yin yoga. mentally it can be challenging to stay in the poses for so long but i found my mind relaxing and just staying in the moment as opposed to letting my mind wonder. Travis voices helps as well. Very soothing.

 

[cdimatt]

Oh forgot to mention the allergist went fine. My asthma is controlled although I have had some shortness of breath lately. The shots are helping but he does have to tweak my serum as trees and grass are still my biggest problems. He also adjusted my antihistamine, nasal spray and he also wants me to do eye drops.

 

[missyt]

Good morning....im up and on the elliptical!

So tim and i went out to dinner last night....and the food was horrible. We normally dine out once a week....but lately we are just not pleased....so we have decided to eat at home...an only go out if we are going to mexican. I can cook much better than any rest.....

Tomorrow morning I am meeting an old friend..at 7am...the one I ran into at the grocery store a few weeks back...the one that is 100% vegan now......we are going for a run....she is just starting to run....and wants me to help get her going! Im excited....because we are so alike. We are going to start running 2 times a week....she actuallu only live about 3 miles from me....so its perfect.....we are going to take turns driving to each others houses since we live on some very nice "running" roads! My road is more challenging due to hills! EXCITED....to get back on the pavement...now that the temps have dropped!

As for tree pollen....the weather man just said the pollen count is extremely high....we went to cvs last night to get clariten d.... $15 for 10 pills...its aweful!

My eyes are watering like crazy with nasal drainage....yuck...but i can handle it....tim actually is taking the clariten...his is worse...poor thing!

Betty....i bought 2 marika sports bras several months ago and love them!

Carolyn---its funny....i can go shopping...and be there for shprts or pants or work clothes or shoes.....and head straight to the active wear....come home with something new all excited....and realize i completely didnt get what i went for....its like i always want to look "sexy" (lol) when i workout....so those come first. Open my closet....3/4 is workout wear....1/4 is clothes....hahaha

Colleen--- i want to try those workouts...but i previewed them and there not the best quality....does it bother you.....the audio sounds bad??? Please give me your opinion.....thanks!

Have a nice friday!

 

[missyt]

Okay...i went to publix yesterday....and found these....there 100 calories....





They are too sweet....so if you really like sweet items....go for it! I like sweets....but this was crazy sweet!

 

[maryk]

Good morning!

I did Supercuts and Core#2 this morning. I can't say I enjoyed the core workout but at least I got it done!

I slept horribly last night! Something woke me up and I could never get back to sleep. Don't know how I will make it through the day.

Colleen, I hope you slept well after Yin yoga.

Missy, how great you have a friend to run with. When I used to run, I did it at lunch and had friends to run with, it made a big difference in my motivation.

Happy Friday!
