Commit to get Fit & Lean for July & December 2015

Good evening,

Today I did JS 30 Min HiiT walk from her 30Day walk series. I really like the set :)

Cookie - I think, I twisted my knee while sleeping. I took it easy yesterday and today it feels fine :) I am so sorry to hear about your sinus infection. Those are no fun. Please take it easy, ok!!

Debbie - we are at home. Tomorrow we are helping to move DS and his fiancé plus Aleisa ask me to help her organize her kitchen :) DS moved some stuff into his new apartment already. Aleisa and Darieus (DS) are in the same apartment complex. Just different levels :) It was so warm outside yesterday :) Today wasn't too bad.

Kirstin - how is your husband doing?

I will be back tomorrow. Good night, ladies.
 
Hi,

Today I did Blast, barre & bands Cathe Live workout. It was a nice mix & I really liked it. I went food shopping today & will cook for Christmas tomorrow again.

I hope the weather stays nice for the holidays since they say no chance for snow. They did say upstate NY by Cookie could get snow;)

Belinda - It is nice that your Aleisa & Darieus will be so close. It makes it easier for visiting:) Are Jessica's walking series done on the threadmill? Ouch, twisting your knee while you were sleeping.

Waves hi to Kristin & Cookie:)

Goodnight:)
 
Hey guys. The last few days have been so crazy I have not been able to post. Friday was my work's holiday party. We had a blast. My dad had my boys sleep over and DH came with me, so he was my designated driver. I drank cosmos and danced with my colleagues. It was so much fun. Yesterday, I was a bit hungover. I decided that I needed to get air and a long walk in. I took my boys and Baxter to the beach with my neighbor and her boxer. It was 68 degrees yesterday! We walked all the way down the beach until we had enough distance from other people and we let the dogs loose. They ran around like crazy. Baxter even went in the water up to his chest, lol. He had a blast. I took him for a walk this morning, and I think he is still tired from yesterday.

Anyway, just finished FlexTrain. I was supposed to do Muscle Max but just didn't feel like it today. My shoulders are burnt from FT.

Debbie- this weather is gorgeous, isn't it. I have not started my Christmas shopping yet! I was supposed to go yesterday, but it is too mice to be cooped up in the mall, lol. I will do some online shopping tonight, I think.

Belinda- my DH is finally feeling better. I swear, I couldn't take it anymore. That is so cool that your son and daughter live in the same apartment complex. Makes visiting so much easier! My friend is getting Hammer and Chisel from BB. I am thinking about ordering it. I just don't know. I was not fan of T25.

Hi,

I cooked, cleaned & decorated today. It's a relief to have a big part of the cooking done. I lost a keepsake ornament from when DH & I were 1st married. I actually checked on ebay & they have the exact same one but it is a year before we were married.

I didn't get a workout in but was on my feet most of the day. I am loving this weather!!!

Belinda - I hope moving went well:)

Kristin - It sounds like you had fun at your Christmas party. It's great that DH was your designated driver;) I was wondering about Hammer & Chisel too.

Cookie - How was your weekend?

Goodnight:)
 
Good morning,

This weekend was busy :) Glad it's over. Yesterday DH and I took the dogs for a nice long walk. It was in the 65-70's :D

Today I am starting M3.

Debbie - sorry about the keepsake ornament :( Maybe you misplaced it? Last year I was looking for one and had it hidden in a xmas tin box:D I am loving this weather too!!! Jessica Smith walking workouts are done indoors on the floor. You don't need a lot of space or stuff for her workouts. Great for travel.

Kirstin - I do like that both my kids live in the same apartment complex :) I was getting confused about all the different levels I had to get off :p Alesia lives on the level 17 and my son on 9. Before that they both lived on 12:rolleyes: I got a lot of steps in that's for sure, lol. I really wanted to buy Hammer and Chisel :) I really need to use what I already have :) Everything is collecting dust. My spending was out of control this year:oops: If I want to try the program, I would stream it first. I am reading too many mixed reviews….on the other hand if you order the dvd's now you get free shipping. You alway's can return them and get your money back, all you pay is shipping.

I will be back later. Have a great day and workout, everyone.
 
'Evening!
Belinda, that sure is convenient having both in the same building! Hope the moving went well and that you took care to baby your knee. How's dh's shoulder? I certainly hope he didn't do anything with moving. I really am glad you introduced me to Jessica. Worked out with her this morning, as a matter of fact! How's your knee?
Kristin, sounds like you had a really good time at the party. Very nice of dh to be the designated driver. I love your day walking along the beach. That's my kind of day. While the temps up here were warm yesterday, it was really damp and nasty. No one ever said they love the humidity here.
Deb, that's sad. Hope you're able to find the ornament or locate a replacement. I'm trying to get dh to go thru ornaments and select some to keep, some to ask kids if they want, and some to donate, but so far he's not interested in that discussion. We did cut down on our decorating tho. Have you found wit your boys older, you're doing less? There's really only two people whose dvds I'll just buy when they become available - Cathe and Jessica. They are w/o a treadmill, great for travel, and she has a wide variety free on her website. Her personality is just terrific. Actually, this morning I did one of her strength and tred (or something like that). I wasn't in the mood to workout, but her personality makes it easy to get going. For me, the hardest part of exercising is just starting.
Sounds like we might be getting ICE soon! And not that weather type Deb was referring to.

Hi,

I took a rest day today, will try and get in as many workouts as I can this week. It is crunch time for me both work & home;)

Belinda - It's nice to hear DH is going for walks. Is free shipping through Mary, ugh don't want to get tempted?

Kristin - When is your last day? Next week should fly by.

Cookie - I do alittle less decorating not as exciting as when the kids were younger. My younger DS was very happy we decorated outside, we almost didn't. Too funny about DH, I can see his point, you don't want to do it during the holidays & after the holidays you just want to put it away:)

Goodnight:)
 
Good morning,

I will do cardio today, not sure what yet? I am trying to go through all my dvd's, that should be fun.

Cookie - the move went well :) Both my kids have their own space. And they close enough if they need a cup of sugar :p DH didn't do anything with the move except give guidance :D You are welcome on Jessica. I bought her 30 Day Walk on Black Friday, really enjoy it. I agree with everything you said on JS :) This is so sad……..I see a trend on youtube. A lot of instructors that offered their workouts for free on youtube are now starting to stream :( I don't like streaming. I like my dvd's and downloads. Good news is…I have enough workout dvd's that last me the rest of my life:D I have a feeling that Jessica is starting something similar next year :(

Debbie - you get Free shipping also through BB :) Don't get me tempted :p I am on a NO/Slow buying right now :D I need to stop buying every dvd that's on the market.

Kirstin - hope you have a great workout today.


I will be back later to report my workout. Have a great day and workout everyone.
 
Good afternoon,

I am back to report my workout: I did Jessica Smith 30 Day Walk (I am in Week3). I was suppose to do 30 Min Fat Baster today. I ended up doing next weeks 40 min Mega Burn:D instead. Since I am trying to go through my entire workout dvd collection, I pulled out Cindy Whitmarch Incredible Abs V1 workout #2 = 20 min. I had that dvd for years and only done maybe 1 workout:(Workout #1 is on Incredible Abs V2. Weird, hah? I really liked the ab workout.

I will be back tomorrow after DH's doc appointment. Have a great day and workout everyone.
 
Belinda, glad your dh's contribution on moving was only on advice. Hope tomorrow's appt goes well. I can't imagine how many dvds you have. I agree w/you on Jessica and think she's going to be streaming. I've really cut back this year on my dvd purchases but now I need to cut back on all my spending. This month and last have been very expensive around here.
Kristin, I'm sure you've heard about the Regents vote. TG. Of course, now I'm sure Cuomo will twist it around to claim it was his idea. We work thru the 23rd. How about you?
Deb, I'm behind in lots of things. Had a mtg and just got home, and will have a very late night on Thursday. Hope your week (work and home) don't stress you out too much. I'm trying to take the attitude that whatever I get done with decorating is good. DH has really cut back in decorating but is unwilling to part with any decorations, lights, or thing that we aren't using. Honestly, you can tell which side of the bedroom, table, or pretty much anything is just by looking.
Did a VA southwest hike this morning.

Hey guys. Last night was my DS's school concert, and by the time I got home, I was too tired to workout. I did a short workout today because I didn't have a lot of time to do the step workout I wanted to do, but something is better than nothing. I did RWH LI 2. I feel that TOTM creeping up on me.

Not much else to report. I attended a PD workshop today for co-teaching. I have been co-teaching with a special education teacher for 5 years and this is the first year I am receiving PD for it. This is due to our new superintendent, whom I like for once. He attended the session with us and he was very warm and approachable. He knew that our major complaint was going to be that we are not given any planning time and promised us that he would fix this for us next year. I was excited to hear that.

Cookie- we are off starting on Christmas Eve. I heard the news of course. However, they want districts to create tests to evaluate teachers. So now students are still taking state tests (is this correct, and if so why, when they do not count for students or teachers), and local tests? I am curious to see what the actual end result will be. I am happy it is a bit of a retreat, but it is not a victory yet.

Deb- my last day is the 23rd. This week is flying by, so hopefully next week will go fast, lol. I am taking Thursday off for parent/teacher conferences for my two boys, so this week feels like a shortened week for me. It is after Christmas that the year seems to slow down, lol. I am looking forward to our cruise in February.

Belinda- I never preordered ICE and now I am thinking about getting Hammer and Chisel, lol. Maybe I'll just do a 30 day RWH rotation for January and then decide, lol.

BB tomorrow.

Kristin
 
Good morning,

JS Toning walk is done:)

I will be back for personals after DH's doc appointment. Have a good one, everyone.
 
Hi,

Yesterday I did X-train bi's & tri's & today was hot yoga. Someone turned the temp to 105 it is supposed to be 95 not sure why anyone would do that. It was awful!! The instructor said no one is supposed to touch the thermostato_O

I also love DVDs & downloads & don't want them to go away:(

Belinda - I like your goals, I would like to do that with clothes & dvds. Maybe I will try too;)

Kristin - The days should fly by:) I forgot about your cruise in February, that is exciting!

Cookie - I spent too much too, it's crazy how many other expenses happen this time of year! I need to look everything over and return anything that was impulsive!

Goodnight:)
 
Good morning,

I will do STS D37 (legs) today. My abs are so sore from Tuesday's Ab workout:D it hurts to laugh.

Cookie - we also spent a lot $$ this time of the year too. Not to mention my son's wedding is coming up in Jan and his bday is in Feb:)

Debbie - Thank you:D actually I am also doing it with clothes too:) Aleisa said yesterday it's like I am hoarding workout dvd's :oops: I went a little crazy the last few month, I have to stop and use what I already have. I have so many dvd's I haven't even used yet:oops: That is sad!! Same goes for clothes.

Kirstin - if you get H&G I am sure you would like it. I am sure it's an amazing program and you see great results. I want the set so bad :( but really have to stop buying and use all the dvd's I already have. You wouldn't believe how many workout programs I have and haven't open them:oops: Just to name a few…I have PiYo, Slim in 6, LesMill Pump and Combat, Insanity 30, Body Gospal, Turbo Fire (just did a few dvd's), Charlene Extreme, Hip Hop Abs & Rocking Body, Insanity (original) & Insanity Max 30. Just to name a few :oops: I am sure I forget something? I also have Jillian Michales Body Revolution, Kettlebell Kickboxing Scorcher Series (4 DVD set), KB Body Series and KB 7Day Lean Series:oops: Never done any off them and need to give them a try before I add more dvd's to my collection. I also bought lots of dvd's on Black Friday:oops::eek::rolleyes: you don't want to know how may I bought:oops:o_O Maybe Aleisa is right:p My goal for 2016 use what I already have and don't buy any workout dvd's:D I have a feeling it would take me a few years to go through all my dvd collection:p

I will be back after my workout. BBL!
 
Hey girls,

Today I did STS D37 Legs + Extended stretch and Jessica Smith 30 Day Walk HiiT walk + Healthy Back ( ran out of time yesterday).

ICE is shipping :D Getting excited!

I will be back tomorrow. Have a great day and workout, everyone.
 
Hi,

Today I took a rest day, worked really late so I can just work a couple of hours tomorrow. I'm getting a much needed haircut:)

So it's really strange I always have a hard time finding parking this time of year but the last week, no problems. I'm thinking with people doing more and more on-line shopping that is the reason. I hope I didn't jinx myself & will be annoyed next week LOL.

Belinda - I too have workouts & series I have not opened & bought during really good sales:eek::oops: The other thing I have a lot of is make-up, hair & skin products. This is the year I need to go through everything & only keep what I need. Sometimes I keep things with just a little bit left in case of an emergency (crazy I know):rolleyes: By the way, we probably would all like to live next door to you to borrow your dvds:) You could open a DVD library. Which reminds me, my book collection, need to go through that too, ugh:rolleyes:

Waves hi to Kristin & Cookie

Goodnight:)
 
Good morning,

Today I will do STS D27 and abs.

Debbie - LOL, I have more workout dvd's than my library.Wouldn't that be nice we all live next door to each other to borrow dvds :) Don't feel bad, we all keep way and buy way to much stuff. I am like you…keep things just in an emergency (crazy I know) :oops: Last few month, I much better letting go off things I don't use or will never use in the future. I keep telling myself " Do you really want to unpack this on your next move?":p I am already planning for my next move which will be be in a few year. Can't never start to early:p My son stores all his books at my house, I made him go through all this collection. I also told me, not to start using my house for their storage :) Now they have their own apartment they can take all their crap.

Waving Hi to everyone that checks in after me. BBL!
 
Hey girls,

Update on the dog :) I went to the animal shelter today and saw the dog. He gets adapted tomorrow (not sure why they told the lady on the phone told us he got adapted last week?) He looks great:D He is a very friendly dog, he is such a sweetheart.The staff took him out the kennel for us. He was giving me kisses and was so happy to see us:D Too bad I didn't get to adapt him:( The staff from the shelter told us he is afraid of man? When we first meet Noha he ran right up to my husband and me and he also did it today :D I told the girl from the shelter if the lady (who adapted him while DH had surgery last week) doesn't want him for whatever reason:p.…I would adapt him:D I love that dog! Although I don't need another dog, I would take him….he is so cute:D

Cookie - Jessica came out today with another dvd set :) Did you see it? I am not buying it since I am on a no buying right now :D

Where is Kirstin?

Hi Debbie :) How is your hair? Do you like it?

I will be back tomorrow. Have a wonderful day and workout.
