Commit to get Fit & Lean January 2016 - 2023

Good evening,

I am home again. Miss NYC already:( We had a blast. While we at the Central Park Zoo, got a call from my sister her father in law passed away. I hate cancer. Really sad he passed away :( He was such a good man. I will miss him.

Today I did CharLean Extreme Phase 3 Lean Circuit. I have to revisit CharLean Extreme, I really like the workouts.

Kirstin - yesterday we went to Central Park Zoo. I had no idea Central Park had a zoo. We really enjoyed it. It was huge but very pretty. I was surprised they had 2 Grizzly bears:D Sorry about your mom. Glad your dad had fun.

Debbie - glad you had fun at the wedding. Glad your mom got out of the water. I hear a lot about shark attacks.

I still have some unpacking to do. I will be back tomorrow.
 
Hi,

Today I did Gym Styles back & shoulders (will do bi's tomorrow). I'm surprised but I have bad leg DOMS from the 2 kettlebell workouts, maybe because I switched things up.

Tomorrow we are going to the beach, hopefully the weather holds up.

Belinda - Your NYC trip sounded great! I don't think I was ever at the zoo in Central Park either. We did the row boats & ice skating. I heard that W. Virginia had bad flooding, was it near you? I'm sorry about your sister's FIL, it's so sad when diseases take lives:(

Kristin - That was a good deal for the movies!! I want to see that one & the one about what dogs do when your not home. I may have to rent them on netflix our nephew is back home in Florida.

Waves hi to Cookie & Kelly

Goodnight:)
 
Hey guys. I just finished ICE Rock'm Sock'm. I did one of the longest premixes on there. . . the premix with the main routine, plus blizzard blast, plus muscle meltdown triceps plus icy core 1. It was a great workout. I am loving this series and the premixes. Tomorrow I am doing ICE Bootcamp. I am adding the blizzard blast and then the muscle meltdown.

Finding Dory was good. I still like Finding Nemo the best. Today I have to finish laundry and hopefully get to go in the pool at some point, if the sun stays out.

Deb- I want to see the pets one too, but my younger DS wants to see the BFG. His teacher read the book to them at the end of the year. I am not into seeing the movie, but I might just have to take him. I haven't been to the beach yet this summer, which is hard to believe being as though I live on an island!

Belinda- The Bronx Zoo is huge compared to the Central Park Zoo, but I find the CPZ charming. Glad you had a good time in the city. Man, you killed it with steps!

Waving hello to Kelly and Cookie.

Good afternoon,

did my workouts this morning, just getting around to post. I did ChaLEAN Extreme Deluxe Upgrade DVD (4 DVD) Lower Body Extreme Zone = 40 min and Extreme Core Circuit = 12 min. I also did LS Walking off the Pounds= 48 min (I skipped the ab workout on the end).

Kirstin - I agree about CPZ :) Next time when I am in NYC I have to go to Bronx Zoo. Driving in NYC is crazy, you faster walking, lol. Glad you enjoy ICE :)

Debbie - thank you :) You have to visit CPZ if you in NYC. Have fun at the beach.

That's it for me today. Have a great day and workout.
 
Hi,

Today I did GS bi's. We went to the beach and it was a nice day, not too crowded. The water temp was posted at 65 and it felt so cold, only put my toes in:)

Belinda - The Bronx zoo is a big zoo it probably is close to the Washington zoo. I agree it's better to walk when you can in the city, I don't like taking the subway. Lots of workouts today!!

Kristin - I've heard of the author but not the story. I remember you went to the beach in the winter, it must be easier to just swim in your pool without dealing with traffic etc. . . I haven't done any of the blizzard blasts yet, is it hard to do after a workout?

Goodnight:)
 
Hey guys! Just finished ICE Bootcamp. I did the main workout and blizzard blast premix, and added on the muscle meltdown, biceps. It was a little hard to do the blizzard blast after the main workout, but I did every rep and every jump, lol. I am really enjoying the muscle meltdowns too. I am wondering if these giant sets are like the giant sets in Body Beast, which I plan on getting and starting either in August or September.

Deb- I think the blizzard blasts are definitely a challenge after the main workout, but definitely doable, it just "ups" the workout a notch. I am really liking the series. I still haven't done To the Mat Legs. Not sure if I will like that one. All that floor work. . . I am thinking I will get bored quick. Come to think of it. . . I think I like going to the beach in the off season because there are less people and I can bring my dog, lol. I don't like crowds and I enjoy the beach so much more with Baxter. He is soooo happy there, it is contagious.

Belinda- I have only driven in NYC a few times and I agree. It is extremely aggravating. I prefer to take the train in to avoid driving. Some places I would have to drive to though, like the Bronx Zoo.

Waving hello to Kelly and Cookie.

Good afternoon,

CharLean Extreme Get Lean Interval = 41 min and Walk away the pounds with Leslie Sansone - 3 Mile Weight Loss Walk = 48 min.


I will be back for personals.
 
Hi,

Today I took a yoga class. Tonight we took my SIL out for her birthday, it was fun! We ate outside & it was a nice night. I felt like I was getting bit by mosquitoes, I hope not:(

Belinda - My son's girlfriend moved out about 2 weeks ago. They saw each other a couple of times but now I think they broke up. I feel so bad when couples break up:( it's not easy.

Kristin - When you posted to Belinda about driving in NYC it reminded me how your GPS directed you through NYC for the RT:eek: I feel like To the Mat starts out tough but gets easier, it isn't barre work so you may like it.

Goodnight:)
 
Good morning,

Tracie Long Focus Series - Break Through = 30 min and LS Walk off the Pounds 3 mile walk abs = 14 min is done :)

Debbie - I am so sorry to hear your son's GF moved out :) Very sad!

Have a great day and workout.

Hey girls,

DD wanted to do a workout, she is visiting us. I also did LS 5K with a Twist and CharLean Extreme Fat Burn Challenge = 33 min. CharLean Extreme Fat Burn Challenge was a sweat fest :)

I am DONE for today :)
 
Good morning,

CharLean Extreme Intervals = 40 min is done. That was a lot of fun :) DD liked it too. Later today I will do abs.

I will be back later.
 
Hey guys! Happy fourth of July weekend! I didn't get a chance to check in yesterday, but I did get my workout in. I did ICE Metabolic Total Body, plus Blizzard Blast Chest. I also went out to dinner with DH without the kids. It was great, lol! I had a steak with asparagus and potato fries (it is a whole potato sliced up into fries, so they are round circles, I don't know if that explanation helps, but they were delicious. Today I walked Baxter to get steps (I am in a weekend warrior challenge on fitbit that my friend invited me into) and I did Low Impact Sweat (cardio 2, muscle meltdown back and core 2 premix). Now I am getting ready to go over to my dad's house. My uncle is going to be there. I am going to swim and relax, but I need to keep getting steps because I was in the lead and then some chick just joined with 17,000 steps already! :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

Anyway, what are your plans this weekend? Anything good?

Belinda- great job on your workout. I've been meaning to ask you how is Brawler doing these days?

Deb- sorry to hear about the breakup. They were not getting along for awhile, right? I thought I remembered you saying that. . . and OMG! how could I forget the fact that I clicked on avoid traffic and instead of going in the BQE, the GPS took me to the freakin' city and I ended up in Times Square! I think I had to pry my hands from the steering wheel when that ride was over because I gripped it so tight, lol.

Waving hello to Kelly and Cookie!

Hi,

Yesterday I took a rest day. Today I did a Zuzka kettlebell workout. We also went to my in-laws for a bbq. The weather this weekend is beautiful!

Belinda - I think you may reach your goal by the end of this weekend!! Have fun with your dd:)

Kristin - I think I once tried a similar potato and it was so good:) Too bad you couldn't get steps for swimming it should count. Good luck with the challenge.

Goodnight:)
 
Hey guys. Just finished To the Mat for the first time, plus Muscle Meltdown Shoulders. I really liked this workout. I thought I would be bored with it, but I found it challenging and engaging. I definitely worked my legs in a whole different way. Definitely will need to put this in my rotation more often. Yesterday we had a good time at my parents' house with my uncle. Later on this evening we are going out East to a restaurant and carnival in Greenport. Should be fun.

Deb- I saw an ad for a Garmin, where you can take it in the pool with you. I wish I had that, lol.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend, guys!

Kristin
 
Good evening,

Alesia and I took a live yoga class in DC :) It was pretty good. I just finished CharLean Extreme I've Got Abs = 17 min.

Debbie - you are funny :) I wish I would reach my goal by next week. I am getting close. Hope you had fun at the BBQ and family. It's raining here.

Kirstin - wtg, on To the Mat today. I don't reach much for that one? Need to pull it out soon. Sounds like you had a great weekend so far.

Good night ladies.
 
Hi,

Today I ran/walked at the track and did a 20 min. zuzka kb w/o and piyo strong legs. I fell asleep on my deck this afternoon my intention was to read LOL.

Belinda - Was the live yoga class outside? It sounds like fun, our town has them sometimes but have never taken.

Kristin - I like To the Mat too. We watched "Creed" I thought it was a really good movie & think they will have a sequel. "Rocky" is still my favorite.

Goodnight:)
 
Happy 4th of July, everyone!

Just finished Body Beast Build: Chest/Tris. My chest/tris is fried. I also did LS Walk To the Pounds 4 Mile Power walk. It's raining here, no walk outside. You know what I realized the other day? I have a lot of Leslie Swanson walking dvd's. I must gone crazy when I had my back/ foot injury 2 years ago:eek:

Debbie - nice mix of workouts yesterday. The yoga was at a yoga studio that Alesia goes too every week. She really likes it :) She said, they do sometimes do it outside.

Like I said, it's raining here in WV. I will take it easy the rest of the day. I will be back tomorrow.
 
Happy 4th of July!!!!

Just finished Hard Strikes (premix with no conditioning and bonus abs 1). We had a great time at dinner and the fair last night. Later we are going to a friend's house for a bbq. Tomorrow I will need to focus on cleaning my house, lol. I am trying to stick with my goal of no rest days before Disney. So far, I have stuck with it. My legs are a bit sore from To the Mat yesterday, especially the sides of my glutes.

Deb- I loved Creed. It is a good storyline. I just watched Southpaw the other day with Jake Gyllenhal (not sure of the spelling). That was another great boxing movie.

Belinda- I never did LS dvds, but a friend at work swore by them a few years ago. Probably better to do when you have issues with jumping.

I really desperately need a pedicure and eyebrow wax. I might sneak it in before I shower and get ready for the bbq.

Enjoy the rest of the day, ladies!

Kristin
 
*Waves back to everyone*
Hope everyone is having a good 4th of July. I went to my sisters (and of course had a few too many not-healthy foods). I knew once the day started, I probably wouldn't feel like exercising, so I got in my workout early this morning: Level 2 Oxycise (15 min) and the Timesaver #2 from the Timesaver DVD (40 min. minus I don't do the ab work because I don't have a ball and with my back I prefer to do the Oxycise breathing for my abs). I am getting the Low Impact series, so hope I like them. It is fun trying these various programs and figuring out what I particularly like/dislike in exercise programs..... it's so neat how we're all a little different with what energizes or what bores us. I am just staying in this evening and will probably watch some fireworks on TV (When I was younger, my mom and I would have this thing where we'd watch the orchestras on TV play 4th of July music and find people who liked like people we knew - seems it never failed we'd find someone that humorously reminded us of someone.... so I've sort of kept up that tradition ever since). I love that exercising gives me more energy at the same time it tires me out. I think I will do a ballet workout or else jump on my Cellerciser a bit this evening also (gotta work off some of that extra dessert I've eaten today!) :)
 
Happy 4th of July!!​
Hi,

Today I did ICE Bootcamp and really liked it (you were right Kristin) not sure why I didn't think I would:confused: We went to my in-laws today to go in the pool the weather held up.

Belinda - You have been getting a lot of rain:( They are saying we need some and are below average. You have been doing great since your back/foot issues!

Kristin - I'm not sure if I saw Southpaw but will check my Netflix account. Hope you had fun at the bbq. I need to do house cleaning tomorrow too!

Kelly - I didn't eat good at all this weekend either. I plan to get some healthy food and prepare so I can grab clean food this week.

Goodnight:)
