Good Morning:)

Not such a good night here last night:-( How come every time I go to bed early, something happens and I end up with the same amount of sleep as I always do? I went to bed at 10:30 and would have had a great night but the alarm went off at DH's store againx( They were happy when they got there though and realized that the internet had went down and thats why the alarm went off. But the phone call brought me to my feet pretty quick, and woke DS in the next room and he was awake for an hour after that.

We had a good night here last night. My SIL was so excited to see her nephew and she wouldn't put him down! Just as I suspected!

Im not sure what my workout will be today. Its suppose to be PUB and cardio but my mom is suppose to be comming in today and she wants her hair done so I am gonna either have to say..."i don't care, gotta get my workout done" Or hurry up, drink my coffee and get my workout started.

Belinda, glad to see you are back safe and sound! I bet thats a long flight. Its nice to hear you had a good visit with your mom. Do you still have siblings over there?

Amelia, you were bored last night hey? Atleast you went to the computer and not the fridge like I do when I am hungry;) Hope your DH is feeling better.

Cheryl, you found your zen again? Its gonna be kind of hard to finding anything here with my SIL home b/c they like to cook meals, that I have no clue what their calorie content are. Although she may be watching it a little now b/c she started working out and I think she lost a couple of pounds. She is small framed anyway and didn't really need to lose weight but I laughed my A$$ off when I found out she was working out b/c she use to give me grief about it.

Nancy, how are ya today? Whats your workout plan?

Mary, I love it when my arms hurt after a workout! I did BBW yesterday but my legs aren't sore today. I find there is alot hamstring work in there....great for NO cellulite!

Kim, hope you check in with us today!

Alright, have a good day everyone! I will be back later!!!!

Oh, I also don't think I am going to go to Thurs mornings playgroup that often anymore. The group is dwindling b/c most people are back to work. And not to sound like a tight arse...but all these kids are turning 1 and I am buying them gifts...where do you think these babies are gonna be when my baby turns 1? Not buying him gifts thats forsure...anyway...I know you don't but people things to get stuff in return but I don't think I should be buying all of them presents when I barely know them. I have enough gifts to buy as it is!

Lori:)
 
Good Morning Chics;-) !

Lori-I don't blame you one bit! The parents shouldn't really except a present!The only people I buy presents for is my childern and my parents(and of course my DH and his parents),but my brothers and sisters don't really expect anything. I grew up a johova's(sp) witness(No longer one ),so I'm not use to buying gifts anyway,LOL! Good news on the store!

Todays workout is LIS and upperbody MIS,I love that workout! BTW My BUTT is soo soar...I love it }(! I've been soooooo good this week,I just hope it pays off tommorrow with my WI.

~~Kim~~I found that recipe you were talking about the other day,veggie soup,Im making it for me this weekend(along with Cheryl's fajitas;-))and will freeze it,thanks for the tip! When Is your weight inn?

*Mary**Cheryl**Nancy**Belinda(glad your back)I hope you guys are having a lovely day!
 
Good morning ladies,

I am finally home! The flight was so long! Yesterday I went to sleep at 4 p.m. and didn't woke up until 4:30 a.m this morning. I am still tierd:) Friday was the the funeral( where they put the urn in the ground). My mom is not doing to well! Helmut and my mom have been togehter for 23 years, that is a long time! I think it is going to take time! I still have two siters living in Nuernberg. My siter Manuela is two years older than me and my other siter Elke is one year younger than me. They both take good care of my mom! My siter Elke took my mom on Thuesday for a few days on camping! I really had a very good time in Nuernberg! I ate way to much! LOL! I only gained 3.2 pounds! The food is so good in Germany! Every day was a feast! I feel like I gained more, put I didn't! That is the good mews! I did work out in Germany! I did Debbies workout( which I really like!!!) and I walked 4-6 kil. every other day! I only ran once, it was way to hot in Germany! the first time I did Debbie's workout, I couldn't walk for 3 days!}( My legs where so sore!:+

I am not sure if I start Cathe;s rotation today! Of course I have to double up in oder to catch up! Anybody doing Cathe's rotation? I also missed you guys!

Hope you guys having a great day and workout! BBL!
Belinda
 
Amelia, Im excited about your weigh in tomorrow! I wonder what the scale is gonna show????:) :) Hope your having a good workout!

Belinda, I can only imagine how tired you are! I hate travelling. I always get stuck somewhere. Ive met a few German people at my job and they are the nicest people! During christmas 2 yrs ago the German A/F got stuck here.I was just cleaning up the mess from my flight and I heard the pilot on the radio saying he had to come back.I think they were here for 2 weeks.But on christmas eve one of their bigger aircraft came and picked them up.A couple of weeks later a different crew came back to get the plane.

Well, I got my workout in, no sweat:) ...I did sweat though:) I did PUB and went heavier then I did 2 days ago.I usually match Cathe on everything but today I went heavier. And I did BM2, cardio blast...

Alright, must get dressed!

Lori:)
 
Belinda, good job on only gainin 3.2 pounds. That's a miracle! Very impressive.

Lori, I would vote for workout fast after the coffee and have it out of the way. It'll put you in a much better mood by the time your mother gets there.

I agree with the others - I'd skip the playdates if you want and definitely skip the presents routine. Focus on family and very close friends is enough.

Well, off to do the B&G I've been meaning to get to for days. Today's the day. Yowza!

Cheryl
 
Hey ladies,

Got major DOMS from yesterdays lowerbody+abbs(MIS).I did UB,MIS today along with LIS and boy is my arms,shoulders,back soar already....Im so excited about all the strength training,I really like it better than cardio(along with nancy ;-) )

Belinda,I bet your tired,traveling seems to be so physicly and mentally draining!(kinda of like driving a car a long distance).I'ts got to be hard on your mom,twenty three years is a long time with her DH,Im sure as time passes,her pain will ease! It nice to hear your sisters are close by so they can help! 3.2pds is great,and Im sure well worth all the yummy food!

Cheryl-Instead of canola oil for the fajita recipe,would pam be alright? I didn't want it to affect the taste! Enjoy B&G's}( :p !

Mary-Are you having MIA day ;-),lol.Im guessing another busy day!

Kim-Hows your day going so far? When is your WI? How much weight have you lost in total? I know Im nosy,LOL!:p :)

Lori-Im excited about my wi too,I'll be sure to post tommorrow bright and early.....I've also got an docs appt monday(Im not rescheduling this one,LOL) about my knee,it was popping again this morning,no pain though. I'll let you know about that too!

Nancy-Hows your day going so far...good I hope!

Well ladies Im off to the grocery store today,I hope theres no samples of cookies like they had last timex( so hard to resist! I'll check back tonight.....have a lovely day!
 
Hi ladies,

What rotation are you guys doing this month??

Yes, I am physicly and metally drained! Germany is 8 hour ahaid from El Paso! I had no problem in Germany, put coming back is tough!
3.2 pounds I guess isn't to bad! They all in my hips!!!I did enjoy all that jummy food!:* :9 :p

I need to work out!!


Belinda
 
Welcom back, Belinda!!! 3.2 lbs. is nothing since you enjoyed yourself so much. I always notice that if I'm really clean right after a vacation I always jump right back to my previous weight!! Gotta get it off quickly!!!! I'm sorry to here about your Mom though. I guess it's going to be a hard adjustment for her. Do you have any idea when you'll be seeing her again?

Lori - I'm right with ya on the presents - I guess I am a tight ARSE! Friends of ours (not even close friends) are getting married next year. I was happy to hear about it until...we get an engagement invitation in the mail yesterday. What the F? I can't stand all of the parties leading up to the wedding. An engagement party, then the shower, then the bachelor/bachelorette party, then the wedding, and then the inevitable baby shower, lol. Not for nothing...but you're getting married and it's costing me (and everybody else) a fortune!!!!! I'm hoping my kids elope.

Okay, I did kickmax yesterday and I don't know what I'm going to do today. Do any of you count workouts like these as lower body? I'm supposed to be doing that today but how much do you work your lower body? With all of those squats and stuff, what do you do? I don't even know if what I just wrote makes any sense....gotta get back to work, they're lining up!!!!!!!

Nancy
 
Hell Ladies!!!

I am finally on the last leg of this journey. I will be headed back home around 2:30pm- in about 2 hours. Yesterday they attacked me in the other office- I was busy from the time I got there until I left. I had not play time on the internet!x( Well I guess that is only right since I am SUPPOSE to be working!!! tee hee:D Any who- let me catch up-

Amelia- Thanks!! (regarding the congrats on the 2.4lb weight loss). I weigh in on Tuesday evenings. I have never missed a meeting in the 11 weeks I have been going. My leader is so encouraging and has wonderful advice. I absolutely love her!! Thus far I have loss 23.?? pounds in 11 weeks. I can not remember amount after the decimal. I wish I was losing faster but that is average. I am glad that you found the veggie soup recipe. I have other low oint recipes I would be more than happy to share with you. When I get home tonite I will have my nieces and nephews (four of the six I have). I am taking off tomorrow to play "Auntie". After they go home I will look through the recipes this weekend and share.

Mary- You will love this- I a going for my massage this Saturday- no big deal b/c I get those regularly- but I am going to have my very first facial. I feel like such a virgin!! LOL!!!

Lori- Sorry that you did not get that extra sleep last night. Sounds like you had a good time with the in-laws the other day though. You comments about the buying the present for the baby group reminds me of this one episode of Sex and the City when Carrie was saying similar things about friends getting married and having kids and she was spending all this money- but she got nothing b/c she was still single (note this is a synopsis- she really made a good point). I agree with what others here said- give them cards or just leave the group and spend your resources on those close and dear to you. Lori- I have also been meaning to share a 10% off code with you if you still have not purchased the P90X (code= SERT2DVD). I plan to get it in October to start it in November 2007. This should help with any of my birthday cake eating, thanksgiving and Christmas eating I might do. LOL!!!}(

Belinda- I am glad to hear that you are back safely and all is well.

Nancy- I feel what you are saying about kickmax- OUCH!! I mentioned that I liked Cardio Sweatfest too- My glutes were hurting later the same day when I did that!!!

Everyone have a fabulous evening!!!
 
Hey Kim,Im glad you had time to check inn with us! Yes,Please share those recipes! How old are the four out of six nieces and nephews? I cant wait until Im one(not that it will be anytime soon:-( )Im the only one out of four siblings that have children,needless to say,My mom and dad and in laws spoil them sensless! Have fun playing Auntie:)!

Belinda,3.2lbs isnt much.....you can loose that(if you want to;-))in no time!



Everybody else have a great day!(Mary,Lori,Cheryl,Nancy)I'll try and check back tonight...but then agian I might be back in a few,LOL!

belinda:BIG GIGANTIC HUGS TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY((((((HUGS))))))

a-m-e-l-i-a:my 1st and only song today so far:) :)

ms. cheryl and lori girl happy thursday:) :)
 
Hi, everyone -

Amelia, I think PAM would be fine for your fajitas - but I wouldn't skip the oil in the sauce mix. that is a very small percentage of the sauce volume and that would affect the taste. Good luck! I can't wait to hear how they turn out -

Cheryl
 
Hi ladies,

Thank you so much for the warm welcome! I am glad to be back! it felt good to workout with Cathe today! I did KPC! I weight myself this afternoon and I was down 1 pound! Not sure if it was water weight?? Tomorrow I will do PLB and PUB! I am trying to catch up on my rotation! Sorry, I ma not writiing alot, but I am still very tiered today!

Belinda
 
Hi Ladies!!! I made it back home and back to check in today!!!

Amelia- my nieces and nephews that will be over tonight are 12 nephew #2, 8 (will be nine next week) (niece #2), 8 (nephew #3) and 7 (niece #3). The other two - nephew #1 is 26 (27 in August) and niece #1 is 12(will be 13 on Father's Day- 13 goiing on 30 and I am not referring to the movie!!).

Belinda that is great that you are jumping right back into the rotation and catching up- kudos to you!! I am not currently doing a rotation. I got a bunch of new workout dvds and I have been working out to them and previewing simulateously. This week I have been lazy and just walking! Keep up the good work, you are inspiring me!!
 
Hey Ladies,

Im doing a happy dance,just won Powerhour+MIS+body max.I've got MIS on vhs but hate having to rewind and fastforwardx(! Got them all for 10.49(plus 2.49shipping)on one dvd,, Yippee.....Im excited!

~~~~~Cheryl~~~~~~~The Fajitas were DELISH:9,I loved all the onions/green peppers, and the sauce gave it an authentic mexican flavor! I did end up using pam for the chicken,and put 1/4 of a cup of the oil in the sauce! Im adding it to my recipe book tonight.........Thanks girl!:)I usually make the old elpaso fajita kit and your recipe kicks it in the butt;-)

~~~~~Kim~~~~~~~~~~glad you made it home....Sounds Like you will have a house full tonight;-)!What are you guys gonna do?when my Brothers and sisters come over we like to play board games,watch movies....eat junk}( !

~~~~~Mary~~~~~~~~Why does your little guy have a fever? Sorry to hear of it! Im glad I was your first song of the day,I was singing in the car today(can't remember the song) and my little boy,whos two and kinda hard to understand sometimes,said "mama,don't sing dat agian"! I LOL!!!!!

~~~~~Belinda~~~~~I haven't been up to much,just the usual counting points and changing diapers:7. Im not doing a rotation,well kinda,I put together one with my dvds! Im trying something new these days...less cardio and more weight training,lets see if it don't jump start my weight loss this month!!!! I lost two pds last month and Im not happy with that!!! still got about40 lbs to go!

~~~~~Lori~~~~~~~I hope you get a chance to check in tonight!

~~~~~Nancy~~~~~~The only lowerbody workouts I do is the strength training ones(I guess thats what there called-the ones with weights),I do KPC sometimes and there is alot of squating and jumping in it,but I probably wouldn't count it as a lowerbody workout, but a cardio!

ok ladies my DH is giving me "the look" so I better get of this computer...talk to you guys tommorrow!
