I'm still not sure I love my new bed. But I can't decide if my bad sleeping is because of the bed or the lack of air conditioning, or a combination of the two.
And...I fired my housekeeper this morning (wow, that sounds pretentious) . I'm not going to pay someone $27 an hour to do a half-*kitten* job. She only came in once every two weeks. But she didn't do dishes or "pick up." So I had to clean house before she came to clean house. What's the point?!? I think my previous housekeeper spoiled me. But she was a family friend and took really good care of us. I miss her!
ACK! How long are these? Like two hours for the two or?
I know with Austyn (coach) our workouts can be 2-3+ hours pending on the training block we are in.
It's an hour in the morning, and between 1.5 and 2 hours in the evening. A lot of that is the pre-stretching and foam rolling I have to do for my wonky hips.
Ahhh okay! I was like that's a ton of lifting! We have stretching/foam rolling added in on your off days to help combat that lack of mobility issue.0 -

Yeah. I "get to" foam roll and stretch every day.

Lol nothing wrong with that at all! I try to aim for at least 5 minutes or more after workouts. I have horrible ankle/hip mobility which is cause bambi knees during high weight squats and deads, it's slowly starting to work sorta hahaha0 -

Is that where your knees bow in when you're coming back up from a squat? I didn't notice that issue during deads. My dead issue is not keeping my back flat. :grumble:0 -

I hope it works for you. I did sugar free February. I skipped all obvious things like candy, chocolate, ice cream etc. I allowed myself fruit, even dried fruit, and the odd juice, because I'm not a martyr. The first week was hard, but it got a lot easier after that. Not having to make any decisions about moderation was almost liberating. I didn't have to worry about how much chocolate I could get away with, I just didn't do it. Have your snacks prepared is a must. I lost 7lbs that month, which is epic for me (I'm short). I also fell pregnant, so clearly it didn't do me any harm. I rather wish I'd stuck with it, but the nausea was strong for the following three months.

Thanks ya'll! It's going to be a struggle I have to have dessert every night! I have the WORST sweet tooth! After my daughters bday party sat. no more sweets until July 4th. So like candy, cakes, donuts stuff like that.0 -

Spent the morning at field day for my daughter's school and all the kids kept asking me, 'Are you Olivia's mom?' She looks just like me and some of them know me from the daycare. After two hours of that, I went to the store. We were out of bread, milk and Bride's cake ice cream.
Should have left that right where it was. It's so goood. I came home and made some tuna salad for lunch, then proceeded to eat too much ice cream. Now, I get to spend the weekend watching what I am eating, and moving more. 0 -

Yes, it is a seasonal flavor that Blue Bell, out of Texas, has this summer. There is also a Groom's cake flavor that is chocolate ice cream with chocolate cake bits, small chocolate hearts with strawberry cream and strawberry swirl in it. The Bride's cake is the vanilla ice cream with almond vanilla cake bits, and amaretto cheesecake icing. Tastes just like a wedding cake. Yum. That is all.2 -

Yuck to all of that! Hoping everything is back to normal.0 -
I went over my calorie allowance yesterday, having eaten with the intention of going for a run (including half a tub of frozen yoghurt...). Ended up getting a migraine and passing out before I could do that.

I always clean before the cleaning lady comes. I always have so many clothes laying around I have to. Plus if I don't do the dishes she does then and puts them in weird places.
Bummer on everything else. My week was like that too. Was talking on a conference call coming back from my mom's on Tuesday, missed my exit, got pulled over in a spot check and got a ticket for not wearing my seat belt. Started the week that way and had a lot of annoying stuff lime that culminating in tackling my closet that turned into a disaster and what I thought would take 2 hours took over 5.5 and it's still not done. When I get back from this weekend trip to NC I'll have to get it finished. I own WAY to much stuff.1
