STS first time!

Last night we had DH parents over for dinner. It was nice. I did splurge and had 2 glasses of wine and then a brownie sundae. It felt good to indulge. Back to clean eating today!! I found coconut mint ice cream and gluten/dairy free brownies. It was delish.

Way to splurge! Got to do that every once in awhile!

I've had GF brownies before and they rule!

Speaking of the dairy free.....did I tell you all I'm dairy free now?! B had the worst eczema! It would be all red and itchy when it flared up, so bad it would bleed. A friend said she gave up dairy and her baby's eczema cleared up. So I gave it a try and it worked :) I'm so happy! His skin is baby soft now like it should be :) Now I just need to figure out where I can donate the 700+ oz of frozen pre-dairy-free diet pumped breastmilk that I have. My supply is outrageous!
 
Carolyn what are you doing posting at 3AM? Crazy woman!

My DH thought it was more important to cut the grass yesterday than put the AC in the windows. Then he complained that it was too hot to sleep! I can't say much because I wasn't going to do either task.

This heat really zaps my energy, but I feel like I have to do my harder workouts on the weekend so I did AB this morning. I modified it quite a bit because I did GS BShBis yesterday and didn't need more shoulder work. Even with the fan blowing right on me I sweat buckets.

I have not been able to cut my kids hair in a while. Now I take them to Supercuts but they want to go to the salons. It is so expensive.

We have a piano recital this afternoon and then a softball game. Should be nice and hot! Have a great day!

Hi Mary!

Supercuts is perfect for haircuts. That's where Tony goes. I'm hoping he can cut B's hair when needed. So much cheaper!

Hope the recital and game went well! And hope DH got that AC in!
 
Good morning.....I went to bed with. Massive headache.....one where when you close your eyes it hurts....yep....so when the alarm clock went off....I did not want to get up....my head still hurt....but I got up anyway....and got on the elliptical....and now I feel great....the headache is gone! Yeah!!!!

Hope everyone has a fantastic Tuesday!!!!!

Sounds like we will all be doing Leans DVDs...... EXCITED!!!! I will let you know how total body goes tonight......he he he....just love doing new workouts!!!!

Gotta go.....be back later!!!!

BTW....Carolyn...hope your hubby is feeling better!
 
Good Morning!!

I tried so many times to get on yesterday and I either had connection issues or got interrupted!

Yesterday I did a 3 mile walk and this morning was LB segments from BB. I can’t believe you guys all ordered Leah’s DVDs. I sure hope you like her workouts as much as I do. I am excited to try to her DVDs as well since I’ve only been doing her downloads. I just got the 3 on DD. I need to order Total Body.

Carolyn, I hope the CT scan goes OK for DH today. Glad his appointment went well yesterday and I hope the bone isn’t broken. We are still catching up on DVR on all our shows. I hope they come up with some good summer series. I hope your stomachs feel better soon. That is the worst.

Missy, glad your headache is better this morning. One of these days, I’ll get DH to take a picture so you can see my results.

We have central air. Ours has been one for probably close to 2 weeks now. Between the heat and allergies our stays on most of the time.

DS gets his hair cut at super cuts. With Carolyn’s awesome instruction I might give it a shot to cut it myself.

This is DD last week of school. I can’t believe the school year is over, it just flew by.

Jean, you will be in that new home before you know it. You should be so proud of yourself with all the work you are doing. You will get top dollar for you house.

Marie, I’ve read a lot about Tracy Anderson too. I watched some clips of her dance workouts. I would not be able to keep up. I am so uncoordinated. We love Modern Family.

Has anyone ever had your armpit hurt? Mine right one has been so sore the last two days. Sore to even touch. I wonder if I have an ingrown hair??? Sorry if TMI.
 
Good morning! Gorgeous sunny, dry day! The humidity was through the roof! Could have burst a vein!

Speaking of haircuts, I'll be heading for one shortly. Bbl. have a nice day!
 
Good Morning Girls. It is the most beautiful day today. Full sun , 70 degrees and a slight breeze. I should lay out and read a book. Today I am cleaning out my underwear/pajama drawers. It is amazing how many undies and socks you accumulate when you don't clean out your drawers.

Marie I am a little confused as to why you are getting rid of your stored breast milk. What are you going to give Breckin? Will you still give him your new breast milk because it has no dairy in it? I am so out of the baby loop.

Colleen I think I know what you are talking about with the underarm pain. It has been awhile but I do remember having pain that felt like an ingrown hair. I am sure I didn't do anything about it.

Betty Enjoy your haircut. I am sure you will look pretty when you come out. :)

Missy I am glad your headache is gone. I can't wait to get back on my elliptical. :confused:

So far this year the only new show I am watching is "Extreme Weightloss". I forget the guys name but he is absolutely gorgeous. ;) There isn't much on. My all time favorite show in the winter is "The Middle". I think it is so much more funny than Modern Family. Gloria really gets on my nerves. I watch a lot of shows on HLN like Nancy Grace. I am very interested in true murder.

Carolyn It sounds like your husband's eye is getting a tad better. Hopefully there are no broken bones. I am so happy you are back on your regular exercise schedule. You seem so much happier.

Jean
 
Hello All! I've been so busy lately I haven't had time to come on the forums. It is a beautiful day here, loving the cooler temps. I am going to walk again at lunch, I haven't been able to do that in a while with the heat and humidity. I did GS Ch&Tris this morning.

I would love to have central air but we have hot water heat and it would be expensive to do all the duct work. So we have to survive with ACs in the bedroom windows.

I think I have mentioned my oldest DD started rowing with crew in the spring and loved it. My sis in southern CA loves it also. So the rowing club is having an adult learn to row program, 2 nights a week in June, and I signed up. I have my first session tonight. I'm kind of excited about trying something new, but I feel like my house will fall to pieces mess-wise if I'm out 2 nights a week.

I agree about there being nothing on TV now. The only show I watch is Mad Men. We watched a show called American Bakeoff the other night, it seemed like it was all people from the south (no offense intended, just an observation) and I didn't recognize the baking judges. The lady who won made a chocolate peanut butter bacon pie, can't imagine eating that!

Carolyn, hope DH's eye is better and no surgery is needed! I meant to ask you, Athleta has some cute bathing suits, how is their sizing?

Jean, glad the house is moving along, very exciting!

Colleen, I don't remember having armpit pain but try holding a warm compress over it?

Betty, I got my hair cut on Sat, felt like a new woman!

Missy, glad exercise made your headache go away.

Marie, I enjoy reading the updates about Breckin and how much you do with him!

Okay...so yesterday I started eating really healthy again....no snacks...well except my skinny cow ice cream sandwich....but it is a healthy version...so I am allowing it! :p Today is day 2 and I have been extremely good....so proud of myself....today I walked with my coworker 2 miles....we were getting it!

I am all pumped and excited to try total body BB.... I cant wait to try it! I just love new workouts....they make me giddy!!! hehehe:eek:

Colleen---what do you use for the bar..... I have the Power tower....that will prob work????;)

Mary...Have fun with rowing...OMG...that would be so fun! Good Luck...

BBL....Dr needs me!
 
Marie, glad you figured out it was the milk. Such a shame you will have to get rid of so much milk. I stock piled milk as well.

I went out for a walk today too. So beautiful outside.

Betty, enjoy getting your hair cut. What did you get done?

Carolyn, mine is supper long right now. DH loves it too. So do I because I can easily pull it back and out it in a ponytail. I like mine short as well but humidity does not. My hair is so think and it gets really frizzy in humidity so I tend just I let it grow. I wish it dust get so frizzy because I'd probably keep it shorter and be able to try different haircuts.

Missy, yes the turbo tower will work just perfect. I used that for a few months then got a portable ballet bar. I would love to have a wall mounted bar. I have the health mark portable bar. It works really well.
 
Colleen....Thanks....one other question....what size weights do you use? It looks like she has very light weight in the downloads....I just watched a clip from Cardio Arms III....I so want that download... Is that one you have in your downloads....it looks awesome!!!! :p
 
Hi Missy, I do have cardio arms I and II. I don't think I have III. I use 2 and 3 pound wights. They are more than enough. There is only one download out of 70 some that I've used a 8 pound dumbbell.
 
Hey girls! What a blissfully gorgeous day!
I got a trim today; the last haircut was my drastic one. After 15+ yrs with shoulder-length hair, I went short to a modern bob. It's so much easier. Yesterday's humidity made my hair look like I stuck my finger in a socket!:confused: I'll need to do henna next.
Had lunch with a girlfriend too. Walked around the area of the Marathon bombings. The place is recovering nicely with lots of patron/tourist activity.

Missy, did you order one more thing at CV to get free ship for BB TB? I would have to, but don't want to buy more...:confused:
Trust Colleen, 2 lbs is heavy when Leah's got you doing the exercises! You're strong, so try 3 lbs!
I kind of want to ask dh to build me a ballet barre out of pvc pipes!
You still pull out Zuzka?

Marie, don't toss the precious liquid gold. Find someone to donate it to. People would kill for that!
No, you hadn't mentioned about going dairy-free. I don't blame you. I'm only learning now that cow's milk is from pregnant cows (don't know why that didn't occur to me before), so imagine the hormones injected into them to get and keep them pregnant. Sorry to gross everyone out. I can't get ds2 to stop drinking it though. I don't miss the bloating and abdominal discomfort.

Carolyn, when's Saco?
Keep us posted on dh.
Soooo true about men and long hair, but not my dh. He has always preferred mine short. Try a short 'do. You might just love it.

Mary, that's so awesome you'll be rowing! Thumbs up! You are going to have killer arms!!!
I tried to watch that bake-off show but it didn't interest me. I don't really care for the host. Anyone watch Fox's MasterChef? So entertaining. Similar to Top Chef but for amateur home cooks. We love it.

Colleen, do you check your armpit with your monthly BSE? Make sure there are no lumps. It might be hormone-related. Sometimes mine gets tender there. Mary's suggestion sounds soothing.
I can barely get my leg as high as Leah. Something to work toward.

Jean, do you read Dan Brown? (The DaVinci Code.) He has a new one out, Inferno.
Last night's movie was Parker. Now that was an entertaining one, with Statham and JLo.

Aaaahhhhh, so nice to have everyone back on board:).
 
Quick check in.....

Carolyn....wishing you and the hubby luck...singers crossed!

Betty....I bought total body on eBay from college video....so I got free shipping. It was deal of the day...lol

Okay....off to workout....lots to do....I am running out f time!!!!
 
Mary That is so exciting to be starting rowing. If I could swim I would enjoy that. I would like a row machine for home. Your arms are going to look great. I think your children will keep the house clean because they are old enough. Don't worry about the house getting messed up. Do these things while you are still young enough to. When you get my age , then you can clean. :(

Carolyn Good luck to your husband. I do miss Bates Motel and The Following. They are both so good. But I really miss Walking Dead. I am going to buy the Walking Dead comic books. I think they are compilated into hardback books.

Betty I don't read Dan Brown. I found this web site you might like . It is called Good Reads.com. People review books and they have book clubs. It looks very informative if you are looking for something to read. Give it a look.
 
So I just finished my workout..... I did warm up/upper body/cool down....

Breakdown:
Warm up 5 min
Upper body 20 min
Lower body 20 min
Core 20 min
Cool down 10 min

Thought I would start out small.....tomorrow I will do lower/core

I loved it!!!!! Can't wait for my other 3 DVDs to come......

I did receive my new zuzka DVDs today!!!!

Gotta go prepare y snacks and lunch for tomorrow....bbl!

Carolyn...I have your hubby in my thoughts!!!! Hope everything is okay!
 
Good morning.....

Carolyn...I would definitely call the Dr first thing this am.....the office should be able to get results asap......I surprised they didn't do he test stat....

As for the 3 PD weights.....I did it....but my arms were screaming.....lol

Check back soon ....doing my morning cardio!!!!
 
Good morning, girls. A beauty of a day. So tired!
I have no idea what to pull out this morning. My legs & calves are tired from yesterday's brisk walking and Monday's TB. Maybe time for some UB. Oh, I should try Ballet Beautiful since I have it. Worried I'm not getting enough intense cardio though. I'll try to walk again later.

Carolyn, I hope dh gets good news today. All my digits crossed. Did you sleep from exhaustion?

Jean, try Dan Brown. Masterful storytelling. Unlike Fifty Shades:confused:

Missy, I was reading Collage reviews on BB TB. Seems like is a compilation of the same moves from the other 3? Let us know.
