Summer Fitness Challenge May2-8

Good Morning,
No workout yesterday:-( No REAL excuse actually, just put it off to long.I debated running last night but I figured it wasn't worth the 400 cals I would have burned.So I will be running early today. I am suppose to be off all weekend but I am working a few hours on Sunday.
So today will be a run, legs and UB. Oh,its gonna be tough....but thats it!

Good Morning Ladies,

I've been up since 6am doing laundry and cleaning up the house. We have a busy weekend and if I don't do it now, it won't get done. Later today I will do some kind of cardio, and I really need to work upper body, but guess that will have to wait til tomorrow. Time for me to get ready for work now.

Here's to a great Mothers Day Weekend.

Wow, looks like everyone is busy this weekend. Well I didn't workout at all Friday. That alone would be okay, but I proceeded to make some oatmeal no bake cookies and eat about 6 or 8 of them, actually made myself sick! Feeling much better today (Saturday) and am back eating clean. This afternoon I did MIS, Rhythmic Step, and Coremax #1.

Hope you are all having a fabulous Mothers Day Weekend.

Good Morning,
Yeah, I think everyone was pretty busy or else we were to naugthy to check in:) I didn't get many workouts in, that for sure.
I went for a run on Fri and Sat and that was it. It is only early yet today so we will see what the day holds.
We were at a friends b-day party last night and I think I drank to muchx( I think I only had 4 drinks but DH doesn't beleive me. When I came home I felt a bit sick so I forced myself to eat a slice of toast and 2 big glasses of water. I don't think I would feel as good today if I didn't have that. I also have to go into work for a couple of hours for a co-worker and I was so worried that I would be really hungover and not get in.But I am on my way.
I will check back later on.I am hoping to get a good workout in but it all depends on how I feel later today.

Hey everyone. Glad to see I'm not the only one without a stellar workout record this weekend. Na, I shouldn't say that. It was a crazy week funny I said it was a bad workout week 3 but that is what I was doing before so this shows improvement - the bar has been raised.

I'm in a hotel room now (free dial up) We picked my daughter up at college - hard to believe a full year is over.

What a nice wake up - Happy Mom's day from both kids :) nothing is beter and I was FORCED to sleep in :) life is good. We are going to the adirondack museum in a few I hear it's very nice - AAA says its in the gem category.

Happy Mom's day to the Moms. Hopefully I'll work out when I get home. Not sure it's a 5 hour drive too.

Happy Moms Day!

I hope I can get everything in I have planned. Abs, cardio on the treadmill and a total body workout. WIsh me luck. I have until5 as my son is working...but part of me says take a rest day IT'S my day to relax. But I plan to not eat clean so to ease the guilt I want to do all my workouts.

Hi Ladies.....well, I haven't worked out since Tues. We have had the garage sales in our town, and my faimily always does one together. No one could do the morning shifts except me, so it was up a 6, shower, do the garage sale all day, get ready, and go to my jewelry shows at night. Yesterday we finished up, and my mom had a retirement dinner last night. Today I have to go away too. Eating has been horrid, no workouts, but I will be back on track tomorrow.
Lori
 
Well, I did manage to get to the gym yesterday for my cardio, but my strength training is nonexistent. And my ice cream eating is on the rise again. Yikes!

There is so much stressful stuff going on in my life right now. I'm going to have a talk with the managing partner of our firm about my career, and I may be going on a job interview. Also I have tons of regular work to do. Also my housekeeper hasn't been showing up so suddenly housework is back on my agenda. ARGGGHHHH!

I'd like to be in good shape for my Alaskan cruise in August, but I'm doing my best and we'll just have to see.....
 
You need to fire your house cleaner and hire a differnt person. I own a housecleaning business and if one of my peple didn'y show they would be fired!

Terri-
In my neighborhood it's hard to find someone as good as my housekeeper. She does only one apartment per day, stays for almost the whole day and does any unbelievably thorough job. What's more, she is an honest, decent person. (Our last housekeeper did 3 apts. per day, did a bad job and stole from us). I just don't know how I could replace her.

I understand that she has to make frequent trips to Jamaica to visit her family, and all of her other problems, and I wouldn't mind one bit that she is always changing the date if I knew even one day in advance. We're very flexible. But she NEVER CALLS to say she isn't coming!! This is driving me mad. We never know from day to day whether she is showing up. I just don't know what to do. :( Any suggestions?

HappY Mother's Day!!

We had my parents over for breakfast, this is what I do for stepmom everyear since she has become my stepmom. DH and kids made breakfast, even made me eggbeaters and veggie omelet. I also made a wonderful fruit and pudding parfait from my weight watchers cookbook.
I did fit in MIC this afternoon and burned 534 calories.

LoriS-it's nice to hear from you. Sounds like you have been really busy lately. Diet is the hardest thing for me too.

Nancy-I hear you with the housecleaning. My kids help a lot, but sometimes they just don't as good a job as I would like. If I could afford a cleaning service, I certainly would indulge. Nothing like coming home to clean house.

Are we all ready to start a new wee?. My surgery is on the 26th, so I plan on kicking up the cardio for the next few weeks. Hopefully I can lift weights during my recovery. I really wish this weight would just fall off!

Here's to starting another week.

Hello Ladies, sorry I have been a slacker about checking in lately. Today I ran 3 miles, yesterday I ran a 5K race. I improved my time by 3 min, 30 sec. I was glad about that. I ran the race with one of my superfit friends. She was talking the entire time, was not winded whatsoever. She pushed me along, and I slowed her down. :) We had a great time. The course was absolutely beautiful.

Today I ate too much. Pretty much no junk food, but I didn't watch it at lunch today. I had egg salad, torteleni pasta salad, lots of cereal this morning, and a bagel, and I didn't hold back on the shrimp scampi with linguine that I made tonight for dinner.

Tomorrow is stetching and upper body. Have a great night.

Happy Mother's Day to all of the mothers our there. :)

Lori
 
Nancy, My suggestion would be for you to tell her that you need notice if she isnt coming and the day that she can be there. If you don't tell her she will continue to blow off her cleaning day. Tell her you are willing to be flexible but you NEED to know. Basically tell jer what you just told me. Tell her that you are very happy with her but just need notice. I am sure she will see your side if she truly values her job.

Terri
 
Good suggestion, Terri, but I have to be careful. There are plenty of jobs in my neighborhood (pretty much every apt. has a cleaning person an the whole neighborhood is apts.), and not enough good housekeepers to go around. Still, she likes us and our apt. is easy to clean and we pay her well. Maybe she will listen to me.
