Commit to get Fit & Lean for July & December 2015

Good morning,

Jessica Smith 30 min Fat Blaster is done :)

I will be back later with personals!

Have a wonderful day and workout, everyone.
 
'Morning!
Belinda, I saw the email this morning, and am already downloading it! Then I came here and see ICE is on its way. I'm so excited about both. Yes, we do all want to live next door to you. But not to just borrow your dvds but the food and clothes too! I'm trying to get dh on the winnowing process. He's getting better but, boy, does he have a lot of things. How's dh feeling?
Kristin, three more days! I have so much work to do this week that I'm trying to take a deep breathe and block out time for different tasks. I usually do this anyway but am trying to be mindful that I can get it all done. Enjoy the fun with your little ones.
Deb, don't know how you were able to wo in that temp! I keep thinking if we plan to move in a few years ...! Unfortunately, while I keep winnowing, we do not necessarily stop acquiring!
My brother was admitted to the hospital for chest pains and a major headache on Thursday. He just was discharged and apparently its related to his chemo drugs. Not much they can do other than trying to manage his pain, but it is hard. My mom is having a very hard time with it. A colleague's husband was found stabbed to death, and this was around the corner from where my mom lives so she's having a hard time with that as well. Feel like I'm being more like her parent every day.
All this and work demands have not left a lot of time for working out. Did get a bit of time to clean out a bit at work. Having a cleaned out work space helps with decreasing stress. Downloading JS's new system and going to do one of them this afternoon. Right now, going to bake while listening to Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me!

Hi girls,

I also did Cathe Basic Step + Stability ball abs today. This makes a total of 8 dvd's completed, I have 192 to go to reach my goal :p

It was snowing this morning :( It's bitter cold outside.

Cookie - let me know what you think of JS new workouts :D I am going to have to wait until Black Friday or see a bigger discount :p My ICE dvd's should be here Monday. I wished we all lived closer just to hang out :) That would be fun! My husband is doing much better. Thanks for asking. I mean he still can't move his shoulder/arm. He is starting physical therapy in 2 or 3 weeks. He still need to keep the sling on for a total of 8 week, which is times in the middle of Jan. I hear you, my husband has way to much too.

Maybe I will do a nice stretch later?

Enjoy your weekend. BBL!
 
Hey guys. It has been a crazy couple of days. I am finally all done with my shopping though, so that is a plus. My workout for today was PRS 1, mixed combos premix. That was the perfect level of intensity for me today. I fell off the wagon with workouts this week, but I am glad to be back at it. Hopefully now that I am done shopping and school will be out for 1.5 weeks, I can get back on track with my workouts. I was actually thinking of doing the Xtrain 20 day cardio and strength combined workout. Maybe this will whip me into shape for my cruise :).

I finally got my write up back from my principal, and although it is good, I am not happy. Out of 17 categories, she gave me 11 highly effective and 6 just effective. It comes out to a 62 out of 68 points. The thing is in the past, I have only ever had 1 or 2 effectives on a write up. I am a little insulted and some of the things she gave me effective for were never even discussed during pre or post observation, such as knowledge of students. How can you assess my knowledge of students when you didn't ask me about them? Sooooo, I made an appointment to speak with her about it on Tuesday. Merry Christmas! I am going to challenge her on it.

Belinda- that is a great goal! It will keep your body guessing and will keep you busy all year long!

Cookie- I am so sorry to hear about your brother! That is scary. Then what happened by your mom's house. . . that is even scarier! Crime seems to be up everywhere around here. I blame it in the drugs. Heroin has taken over Long Island. It is so sad.

Deb- The stores do not seem to be as crowded by me either. I still went to stores for my shopping. The only people I bought online for were my parents.

Okay, I have a lot to do as far as work is concerned. I am hoping to get it all done before the break.

Hi,

Yesterday I took a hot yoga class & today I did a segment from Butt Bible (which I finally opened up). Belinda is having some influence on me;)

I feel bad for DH he stopped by my in-laws today & when he went the dog started to have a seizure. He rushed her to the vet but she passed a few hours later. My poor in-laws she was their companion & she gave them purpose:( They think she may have had a brain tumor. She was a big golden retriever and 9 years old.

Belinda - You are doing great with your goal!! I like that you started before the New Year:) I liked hearing the outcome of your dog rescue, he seems so lovable. Your DH has been through a lot but happy he is getting better.

Kristin - I think it's great that you challenge your principal otherwise you would regret that you didn't. It's good that you are done with your Christmas shopping because I think the next few days will be tough.

Cookie - So much sad stuff going on, I hope your brother feels better & your Mom too! I'm ready to start fresh with a new year. I'm not a big fan of New Year's but starting to think it's a good way to let go of sad/bad things that happen that year.

Goodnight:)
 
Good morning,

Today I did ICE Low Impact Sweat and Jessica Smith -D21- 30 Min Pyramid Power walk.

Cookie - what do you think about Jessica's new workouts?

Debbie - OH NO, I am so sorry to hear about the dog :( This is so sad. (((HUGS)))I also had to take my dog Brawler to the emergence vet yesterday. He had a ruptured cyst under his tail, I could't stop the bleeding. The vet stopped the bleeding and gave me meds for him.Thank you on the rescue dog :) He is very lovable :) It's hard not to jump on every band wagon, but I keep reminding myself I need to use what I have already :p

Kirstin - thank you :) I try my best to keep up with my goals. Ditto what Debbie said about the principal. I think I am done with xmas shopping, except the food :)

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

Belinda, see you keep us all informed and inspired with workouts! Thank you. So far, I've only done Cardio Power and the Brain workouts. They were fun to do, esp on such a dreary day, when it would be so easy for me to skip working out. Sometimes her cheery personality gets me moving. TG the dog was adopted; hope he is well loved there.
Kristin, good for you for challenging the eval. It should be challenged and get her on the long delay too. Drugs are everywhere. Recently two coworkers lost a son each, and it is suspected behind this murder. My brother has been deep in denial about his condition and prognosis but now seems to be realizing it. Your workout plan will whip you right into shape.
Deb, your poor dh and inlaws! That is so sad, and it must have been horrible to see. I'm sure they are not up to a puppy, but do you think they would consider adopting an older dog from a shelter?
Well, got a huge project done for work but not a few smaller ones, and I'm calling it quits on office work for today. Did a bit of baking, but need to get some housework done before dinner, reading the paper and relaxing.
Did two of JS's new workouts. All of a sudden, I got to thinking perhaps I forgot to order ICE, but TG I could check my account. Ordered and I think it should arrive tomorrow.

Hi,

I didn't get a workout in today but was pretty busy so at least I didn't eat badly. This will be a tough week for me for me so will try and get in some workouts.

My in-laws are taking it badly not eating well but DH & my SILs are checking up on them. Not sure if this is true but DH & I are starting to think the dog waited for him to get there (DH always stops by the same time every Saturday) to get sick. She was very attached to my husband.

Belinda - I can't believe you already received ICE, I think mine will arrive tomorrow. What do you think?

Kristin - The boy's must be so excited about Christmas!

Cookie - I think if they consider another dog it would have to be an older one from a shelter. The vet they used would make house calls, but she is actually moving to South Carolina next week.

Goodnight:)
 
Good morning,

Today I did STS W2 D28 Chest & Back. I also did Jessica Smith Day 22 Toning walk + 15 min Healthy back.

Cookie - LOL, I am glad I keep you all informed and inspired with my workouts :) It's also a reminder for myself. It keeps me straight to reach my goal:D If I write it on a piece of paper, I'll probably forget why I am doing this:oops: Now, it's right in my face as a reminder not to buy another workout dvd:D

Debbie - I am so sorry this is a rough week for you….don't beat yourself up if you don't get a workout in. It can wait. My thoughts and prayers are with your in laws:(

Kirstin - have fun with your workout today.


I will be back tomorrow. Have a great day and workout, everyone
 
My dvd's just arrived but the case is broken :) I heard a rattle before I open it :( I already contacted Nancy from customer service.
 
Hi,

Today I did Burn set shoulders only. I thought my DVDs would arrive today but they didn't. I know they were getting closer. Our mail has been late the last year so I guess it may be in the post office.

Belinda - I hope the dvds weren't broken, but Nancy & SNM is so good at customer service no need to worry:) Great job with your workouts! Thank you for your thoughts with my in-laws.

Waves hi to Kristin & Cookie

Goodnight:)
 
Good morning,

Today I did Jessica Smith 30 Day Walk D22 Fat Blaster = 30 min + Cindy Whitmarch Incredible ABS Volume 1 #2 ab = 20 min.

Debbie - I know Nancy will take care of the broken case as soon as she catches some air.

Waving Hi to everyone that checks in after me. I will be back tomorrow.
 
Hi,

I pushed myself today, everything hurts & not from a workout;) I finished all my stores because tomorrow I am going to cover for the NYC girl. I really don't want to go because of all the craziness in the news. I will be quick:)

I opened a package tonight thinking it was a gift I ordered but it was ICE so I was excited. I was so tired barely looked at ito_O I can't wait till I have time to look.

Something exciting happened at one of my Macy's, I saw Gia Guidice from NJ Housewives show. She is the oldest daughter of Theresa who has just spent almost a year in jail & comes home tomorrow. She was Christmas shopping & I told her I was happy her Mom is coming home, that I liked the show & wished her & her family a Merry Christmas. She was the sweetest girl & so humble and thanked me. (I know Kristin watches) but thought you may have heard about it in the news.

Belinda - Can you believe the weather we will be getting for Christmas?

Waves hi to Kristin & Cookie

Goodnight:)
 
Good morning,

I will do D38 Legs and Jessica Smith walk.

Debbie - that is so cool you saw Gia:) Aleisa watches the show too :) We took the dogs for a short walk last night, didn't needed a jacket :) Love this weather. Now I have tons of pellets sitting in my basement:D Oh well….I guess we are gonna use them next year or the year after. Have fun in NY today.

Waving Hi to everyone that checks in after me.
 
'Morning!
Belinda, great idea keeping your goal visible. That helps me also. I'm loving the warmer weather! Nancy's is wonderful.
Kristin, hope the last day goes well.
Deb, your poor inlaws. I believe the dog also waited. While it must be hard for him, the dog's love and trust in him was great. Good luck in the city today.
ICE also arrived but I haven't even opened it yet. Yesterday morning I had to finish making cookies to bring into a swap. During day got a text eldest ds was in er with back pain and waiting for an mri. They were only able to do one on lower back b/c of his pain level.. He was admitted and getting the upper back mri today. DD arrives this afternoon, as does a new washing machine. Have meetings today so, it's a lot of fun around here.
Cookie
 
Hey girls,

Workouts are done !

Cookie - my kids arrive this evening too. Lot's of things I need to get done before they arrive. Have fun with your family. What't the name of the new washing machine you bought? I am in the market for a new one too :)



Have a great day and workout.
 
Hi,

I went to NYC Macy's it was pretty quiet but around 12pm the traffic started picking up but it was really nice to have the peaceful morning hours. I didn't get a workout in, but did a lot of walking & stair climbing. Tonight I finally crashed on the couch while DH & I watched "It's A Wonderful Life" will finish it tomorrow;)

Is everyone getting a washing machine for Christmas, ha, ha?? Mine is still in good condition (knock on wood).

Belinda - The stretch workout sounds good! I'm going to try and take yoga class tomorrow to prepare all the things I have left to do:)

Kristin - Nice weather for your Christmas break!

Cookie - Tomorrow I will bake cookies (that will be my favorite part of the day) :) I hope your ds is ok:(

Goodnight:)
 
'Morning!
Belinda, it is an LG machine, and its huge! Well, not so much in space but in capacity. In our other machine, the king-size sheets filled the drum, but there's room around for them to tumbling the sheets. Seems like they would get more clean with the space around them to move.
Is your celebration this evening?
Kristin, hope your day is wonderful. I'm sure the boys are very excited.
Deb, what kind of cookies are you making? I'm finishing up a batch of salted caramels, and on to batches of sugar and molasses. Have done thumbprint, shortbread, and chocolate ginger. DS is still in hospital, and they're hoping he'll be released on Christmas. It's exhausting visiting in the hospital. I'll bake this morning and go visit this afternoon. We're supposed to host a family dinner tomorrow but may have to move it to Saturday or Sunday. Just hit me that I have wrapped 0 gifts! I'm also have to figure out a workout for today. Maybe Rock/m Sock'm?
Cookie
 
Good morning,


Rock'm Shock'm Kickbox and Jessica Smith 15 min Calorie Burn + Standing abs is done.

I will be back for personals later.
