STS first time!

Nope....still searching....I really like the one at academy, but not much info on it, and no monitor.....sears does not carry any of them in stock, so I would have to order.....and sport authority doesnt have much to choose from. I am now searching online before I make my selection.....
 
Hello ladies!
On the thread of being too hard on ourselves, I read about a study Dove did recently. They had women describe themselves to a sketch artist (the artist could not see their faces). Then another person who met each woman briefly also described the woman to the sketch artist. Side by side, the stranger's descriptions and drawings done by the sketch artist were much more flattering than the ones where the women described themselves. So it seems to be universal, we are all much too hard on ourselves!
 
Good evening...on elliptical...i went to grocery store at lunch...so I just got done putting away my groceries! Now starting my cardio.....

Tonight Tim and I are going out to dinner at Mexican...yummy!!! When I finish my cardio that is....he will be home at 5:50....

Hi everybody,
Did sheets and errands this morning, then spent the afternoon making the beds, vacuuming the beds (anyone ever do that?) and behind, and re-potting several houseplants; then off to DS' track meet, which took several hours. Omg, the temps dropped like a rock this afternoon. 70s and gorgeous dropped to 50s by the end of the meet.:confused: I was frozen, but at least I had a light sweater. I almost didn't grab anything. I had such a great time! I ran into several of DS' preschool classmates' moms, whom I haven't seen in years. DS doesn't even remember anyone from preschool, but we moms remember that time and each other fondly. We live in the same town but our town is huge and we rarely run into each other.
Ok, now who's babbling??

Carolyn, Colleen, and Mary, so true how we are harsh critics of ourselves. I like to call it being realistic!:D

Colleen, hope you got your walk in. That's a nice change of pace.
I'm not sore today. I'm not sure about the cranky part though.:D Hee hee.

Mary, how have your workouts been this week?

Carolyn, you must be in doms heaven. Although it sounds painful.

Missy, I think you'll be happy with your LB soon enough. With the frequency and variety of your workouts, you do kick butt!
How great your lovey bounced back so quickly after being spayed.
Does Tim use the elliptical and treadmill?
The Nordic Track I have has a moronic battery guzzler for a screen, as one reviewer posted, and I knew in advance.

Jean, how did your baby like the coconut oil in her food?
 
Hello....okay...so the elliptical let me down again....knee hurts....I had to wear my brace on the treadmill walking this morning...:(

Okay....I am thinking of getting the bladez sx pro or bladez velopro.....what do you think?
 
My workouts are going along, I've been loosely following the April rotation using Burn Sets for weights and intense cardio the other days. I think it may be getting too much though as I have developed pain high in my hamstring area, almost in my glute. Light stretching seems to help but I don't like it.

I am also trying to figure out how to include more yoga. The other day when I was driving I had to rotate to look out the back window, and my neck/back were so stiff. So the next morning I did UY Vitality and felt so much better.

I have also been walking at lunch because the weather has been so beautiful, but I can't tell if that was aggravating my pain. Now I don't know what to do, getting frustrated.

It is funny to run into Moms from preschool, we all remember each other but the girls do not, they have changed so much.

My sis arrived last night and we are driving to the Cape this evening. I have to come back early because of volleyball tournaments on Sunday, but she can stay with my Mom. It is going to be a crazy weekend and I probably won't work out but will try to walk.
 
Its offical....I just order my spin bike!!! It is suppose to be in wednesday!!!

I got the Bladez SXPRO.....

Super excited!!!
 
Hi everyone,

It is chilly but beautiful out. I don't mind since I'd prefer this over hot and humid any day.

Carolyn, you should have gone that extra step and put in the coconut oil! I don't taste it since I put it in right after I shut off my flame and I add tons of toppings.
When I go out with my friends, I don't worry about the food that much. We even go out for coffee and dessert after. Might as well enjoy it. This month my friends and I will head to a vegan restaurant to try it out. It seems really yummy.
Tell me why Cuda is so maniacal since your trip.:confused: I want to understand the psychology.

Mary, how awesome for your sister's visit. Enjoy the Cape! Maybe we'll pass one another on the road--us too:D. UY better not go rock-bottom this weekend. I'll have no wi-fi.:confused:

Missy, what's the diff between the two bikes? They look smokin'.

Haven't heard from our friend Colleen today! Wassup?
I'm picking up BB LB today!

Jean and Marie, waving Hi!
 
Betty....I bought the more expensive one....because it has a 48 lb flywheel and a better monitor I think. The other one had a 40lb flywheel.....It gets very good reviews...also I like the fact that it is white....:p I hope it will be awesome!!!! I went and ordered it at the local sears....and I saved an additional 10% because they had a sale going on fitness equipment....YEAH!!! I am so pumped, I just cant wait... and I also bougth Ride and Cycle Max and pre ordered pedal power....I am going to be all set....I will just have to get use to having a sore ass!!! LOL:eek:
 
Missy, my biggest fear was a sore butt, but guess what? I've never had an issue! The seats are hard, to boot!
Congrats!!!:D
 
Missy, how exciting on the spin bike!

Betty, where do you go on the cape? I forget, do you have a place there? Enjoy!

Carolyn, good luck with Cuda!
 
Hi girls!!!


It's been a busy day. DH ad I took off the day to get some shopping done an prepare for dd first communion tomorrow.

I did get my walk in yesterday. I did 3 miles a d I got over 13000 step yesterday so I was very happy. Today was glute focus with bb. It was a hard workout.

So I am so besides myself. I lost my fitbit today. I have been wearing it on my bra and today since I was off I clipped it to my jean pocket. We were at the mall when it happened and I retraces all my step and couldn't find it. I'm really mad at myself.

Missy, congrats in the spin bike.

Carolyn, sounds like you ha a great time last night. How is Cuba today? How's your knee?

Mary, enjoy your time with your sister.

Betty, how did your DS do at track.

Gotta run and prepare some stuff for tomorrow and then I have to take dd to a spring fair at her school.

Sorry for the quick checkin...
 
Good evening friends.....we made homemade pizza tonight and I pigged out......

Colleen....I lost my fit bit once too....I remember it like it was yesterday....Tim and I were working in the horse pastures and I lost it....I was panicking....walking all over...never found it....I was crying like a baby....I just relayed upon it so much when I first started losing weight....and Tim finally found it several hrs later....I understand how you feel....just remember you can replace it.....

I am so pumped for my spin bike....I just can't wait to put it together and spin away.

Off to bed....as I have to be at my office at 8am in the morning to meet our computer people...they are doing maintancec this weekend.

Chat tomorrow morning.....good night!
 
Happy Saturday Ladies. We have had some beautiful weather her. Sunny and 70 degrees. Today is going to be a little cooler. I love Spring.

Betty I have never vacuumed beds. Do you just take everything off and vacuum the top and sides? That is nice that your son is into track. Is there any particular event he runs in? I have been putting a Tbsp of coco oil in my dogs food twice a day. She eats every bite of her food.

Carolyn I would think you would like the inner thigh doms. I thought that is where your trouble spot is. You need to get on your bike and do cardio to get rid of your gut. If you put coco oil in your protein drinks , you won't taste it. When you say you know what the right thing is to do with Cuda , what are you speaking off? That is a shame he is not working out. I have a dog that i have had a love/hate relationship with. I know you you feel.

Missy Congrats on ordering the bike. What room are you going to put that in? You are going to need the 3rd bedroom also for a second w/o room. Have a nice day at work today.

Mary Enjoy your sister and your time at the Cape.

Colleen That is horrible that you lost your Fitbit. I thought that was one of those things that you wear on your arm. I guess it's not. Have a nice time with your daughters 1st communion.

Hi Marie.

Jean
 
Good Morning! I am at work.....waiting on my computer person....then I have to go to the bank....and then go home and do my morning cardio on the treadmill....I need to run my brains out....I have gained a few pounds and not liking it one bit! So as of today...no more icecream! And lots of cardio to come till I get them off! I know I have gained them, and I havent even steped o n the scale....I think it all that crazy workouts Ive been doing....I like the muscular look, but my thighs are gotten huge....I hate that...I want skinny thighs...so forget all that craziness....back to cardio till i get them back skinny and then I will start LIS again!!! Tim said this morning...looks like you will go back to old faithful....lovely Cathe...she never lets you down....Yep, so true....thats why I finally gave in a bought a spin bike. :p

Jean---I have my main workout room....and the second bedroom which we put wood floors in, I have basically turned into a workout room too....so it may go in there....or I may put my elliptical in there, since I will only use it maybe once a week....and put my spin bike in my bedroom???? Lots to think about...I know...but I just love my fitness stuff......not sure what I would do without it! I am on such a high...just knowing I have new stuff coming. :eek:

Jean---also hope your baby is doing good.

Carolyn---Hope Cuda is doing better, It is aweful his attitude change just from a week and the boarding place. Maybe he was so scared you let him, and wasnt coming back...thats what I always think goes on in the mind...thats why we never go away.....only on day trips! Sometimes, i wish we could go places, but I love my babies so much....I just cant leave them. Once, Tim and I went on vacation for 3 days....we only had horses and cats at the time....so Tims mom watched the horses and I just left extra food down for the cats....I paniced after night one...thinking the cats were scared that something happened to us....I was crying sitting at a restuarant.....it was aweful....tim was upset also...he is just as much as a sucker as I am....we ended up coming home a day early...LOL

Be back later! My computer man is here!:eek:
 
Carolyn You and I both got our last puppies without seeing their personalities first. I have an alpha female and wanted a submissive male. Well i got an alpha male because I saw a picture of a cute puppy. Then he was flown in just like Cuda. It took around a year for my alpha female to half way accept him. The next puppy or dog I get will be seen in person first and get to know their personality. I hope you can show him you are boss so you don't have to get rid of him. Just don't take him to the shelter. I tell everyone that if my husband and i go at the same time not to take my pets to the shelter. If they can't find them a hom , then to just put them down. That is just my feelings. I hope it all works out for you. I am so sorry you are going thru this.

We should be getting The Following tonight. It must be good. I can hear the excitement in your words.

I hope your knee feels better.
 
Good evening.....I found a new product at public today.....gortons tilapia baked....it comes in a bag you put in oven....it is absolutely fantastic.... and only 120 calories!!!!! I made that with steamed veggies for lunch!
