Hey girls!!
My legs are so sore today!! I ran my treadmill on Sunday & Monday I went to step class and then did some yard work. My knees have been a bit achey these last couple of days too. Maybe I'm too old for this running thang!!??!! I'm hoping to go to step class tonight after the girls go to bed. I'd like to work around the yard some more today, I've got plants coming from Michigan Bulb & need to get the ground ready! I love gettiing my hands dirty in the soil!
I am so looking forward to our getaway this weekend!! I really need it!
Yvonne - what a great workout you get from rollerblading!! You're doing so great! Enjoy that beautiful weather!! Sorry that your spring break is over so quickly! I thought of you on Saturday, I had to get my hair highlighted & trimmed again & afterwards I didn't workout because, I had Diva Hair!
Megan, so happy for you to have a job this week. I know that you've been working hard on that & still getting your workouts in - great job!!
Nicole, you sure do sound busy!! Good luck with everything! We can't wait to hear about this hair show & then your run!! You're going to do great!!
Amanda, we miss seeing you around!! I hope the move went well!
Make it a great day!!

Morning Lovely Ladies!
Hump Day already :bigsmile:
Went rollerblading yesterday. It was a little windy, so I only made it around 2x. Logged 500. Then went on a date to the movies and I did Pretty Good, if I do say so myself :laugh: We went to a Latin restaurant first and I ordered a Cuban Sandwich, It came with fries... I only ate half the sandwich and didn't touch the fries (only because the looked liked re-fried potatoe chips:laugh: ). I broke even with my calories... :noway: I average 1800 calories per day :noway:
Sandy - Did you soak in the tub? I know the running is probably working muscles you haven;t reached before, also, I read another thread where they were stating how not drinking enough water can also exaggerate the soreness... just a thought. So glad for you getting out into the soil again.... here come the tomatoes too :bigsmile: I that with you and the girls in the Leaves.
Not sure if I will work out today... I might do visit a friend instead. :blushing:
Megan, Nicole, Amanda - Hey Amigas! :flowerforyou: Hoping you are all Healthy, Healed and Housed.... :laugh:

Hey girls!!
Today was a great step & tone workout! I burned 397 calories during step & we did lots of leg, inner thigh & ab work afterwards. I may just have to look into the tub soaking thing because my legs have definately been aching lately. And, maybe the water thing too! I'm trying to do better, but I definately have room for improvement. :drinker:
Yvonne, what a great workout you got & hats off to you on eating only 1/2 your "samich"!! That's some control!! And, good job on passing up on the refried potato chips!! You've definately learned what is & isn't worth the calories!
I also love the picture with me & the girls, the season is a bit off, but I like it!
Enjoy your workout - whichever one you decide on!!
Nicole, Amanda & Megan - :flowerforyou: Hope you girls are doing well & keepin busy!!

I went to work today from 6AM to 2:30PM. It seemed like forever. I did get a workout in though. I used a bunch of the machines at the gym. I finally got to work my shoulder with no pain. YAY!!
Kristin Welcome to our group, jump right in.
Nicole How do you like mixedbag? I've been thinking about trying it. I still want to try Core Power and Group Power.
Sandy You should really do the tub. It works wonders on muscle pain. I used the tub during labor and I loved it. Hope that is not too much TMI. Sorry.
Spicy How was your date? Great job on taking control over your food.
Have a great night girls.0 -
Morning Amigas!
Kristen Welcome! Like Megan said just jump right in. Nicole completed PX90 and Amanda just recently started the program... I prefer to workout outdoors mostly. I see you only have 10 lbs. those could be the most difficult to lose from what i hear.
Megan - I'm glad your shoulder is much better. Good for you on still getting in your workout after a days work :bigsmile: How are the babies doing in the childcare? I had a very nice date :bigsmile:
Nicole - Good to hear from you girl! What the heck is "mixed bag"? :laugh: You are always experimenting with new classes and keeping us up to date :bigsmile: Switching things up is Great... I need something new too. I'm glad your all better and back in the groove. :flowerforyou:
Sandy - You've been really Keeping it Moving :happy: Take advantage of that momentum before TOM starts coming around again :bigsmile: How are your muscles today? How about some Yoga? I'm sure you have a DvD :laugh:
Amanda - Miss Ya Girl! :flowerforyou:
Yesterday, I suggested to my date we go on the Boardwalk and rollerblade :bigsmile: . He rode his bike. Ft. Lauderdale Beach was Beautiful... the wind was calm and the water crystal blue Afterwards, we spread a blanket and had a picnic with some chicken wings, potatoe salad, rolls and wine coolers :blushing: I didn't eat any potatoe salad, only 1 roll and about 3 drumettes. They were too Spicy and I can't eat Hot stuff :laugh: I had 2 wine coolers :blushing: I should've broke even with my calories. My appetite is more controlable right after TOM is gone :ohwell:

hey buddies!!! ran on the treadmill for 30 min today and then went to an hour weights class..no hrm...i think im done with that whole thing!!:laugh:
mixed bag is a circuit style class with weights and cardio!!
off to get ready for school, gotta be there early today! have a super night!0 -
Hey Ladies!!!!
Sounds like you are all doing very well!!! I have not logged food in awhile as I have just been so busy I can't even remember what I ate lol. I have not gained any weight so that is good. Finally into the house and getting things unpacked. I feel comfortable enough now that I am not working all day on the house so tomorrow will be my first day back to working out. I am excited and cant wait
Have a great day and I will check in more tomorrow off to the kids swimming lessons0 -
Hola Amigas!!
I had a great step & tone class this morning, I burned 374 calories. Yesterday was my rest day, I did a little housework but nothing to really burn any major calories. I've been feeling really wipped out & tired lately. My getaway weekend is just in time! We plan to leave early afternoon & I just can't wait!
I'm so happy to see all you girls & that we're all doing so well! Keep strong through the weekend! I gotta run, I got a ton of things to do & I still need to shower!!
:drinker: Sandy0 -
Today I did the elliprical and some weight training.
Sandy have fun this weekend.
Amanda Have a great workout.
Nicole Congrats on being done with the hrm.
Spicy I have no brought the kids with me, thet have been sick and I don't want them getting other kids sick. I hate when people bring their sick kids.
Have a great night girls.0 -
hey buddies!! friday and saturday went to zumba, today is my rest day!!! off to the inlaws for dinner!!0

Happy Monday Amigas!
It's raining cats and dogs here today... Monday & Rainy... Drats :ohwell:
I did really well as far as exercise this weekend... But I can't seem to stop eating. I was blaming it on TOM, but that has been long gone. I really want to get back in the "Zone" like I was a couple months back. When I was exercising 5-6 times a week sometimes and staying within my calories.
Sandy - Hope You and Hubby had a Fantastic Weekend Getaway... Did the weather cooperate? :flowerforyou:
Nicole - Good to hear you are Right on Track Girlfriend... I don't blame you for ditching the HRM, What's the point if you aren't counting as much anymore
Megan - The kiddos are still ill? I hope they get better soon :flowerforyou: What is your goal as far as fitness?
Amanda - I know you are a Busy Beaver :happy: How nice to have something New to work on. The whole Buying process went pretty smooth for you guys :happy:
I have my gym gear with me... getting on the elliptical and some weights. I'm feeling sore today from the weekend workout and I want to keep this soreness... maybe it will remind me how good it feels when I've completed my workout :happy:
I saw a movie on DVD this weekend called "Triangle". If you guys Psychological Thrillers as much as I do... This is a Good one. :flowerforyou:

Hola Amigas!!
What a wonderful weekend we had! The weather was so lovely & the lodge was just beautiful!! We had the most wonderful food there as well. I had a roast duck breast & it was divine! My husband had a delicious steak that has ruined him for all others! It was just great! I am truely refreshed & ready to go!!
I burned 370 calories this morning at step class & another 300 or so planting flowers with MJ. The hubby & I have some heavy yard work to do after the girls go to bed, so I'll definately have some calories left over tonight - which I totally need because I didn't count a thing this weekend!!
Yvonne, I'm so proud of you taking your gym gear with you & planning to get back on track. I think we all, at one time or another, feel the need for a break. I have to agree with you, I love being sore too!
Nicole, glad to hear that you kept busy with Zumba over the weekend! I hope that you enjoyed your rest day & your visit with the family!
Megan, I hope that you had a good weekend & that the kids are feeling better by now.
Amanda, how are you babes?? Keeping busy with the new house & stuff I'm sure! How nice that the kids now have playmates in the new neighborhood!
Have a great night buddies!!

Today I did the elliptical and some strength training.
Sandy I'm glad to here you had a nice weekend.Don't worry about not counting cals, you deserved the break.
Spicy Sounds like you had a good workout weekend, don't worry too much about the food. I always say if I go over my cals I will just have an excuse to work out longer. I know it sounds dumb but working out is kind of relaxing to me. The kids are doing much better. My goal for exercise is to work on my saddlebag area as much as possible. All the women in my family store most of their fat in that area.
Nicole I hope I see you at the gym one of these times. I have been having to go at night lately. hopefully I can start going to some classes soon.
Have a great night girls.0 -
Morning Lovely Ladies!
I went to the gym - 30 minutes on the elliptical and the other 30 doing some strength training (shoulders, back, biceps, lunges). I'm feeling those lunges :bigsmile: Then I went home and ate 9 Oreo Cookies.... after my dinner :sad: :noway: :huh: :laugh: :ohwell: I'm gonna eventually learn... keep the sweets out of the house. Hopefully, I will get tired soon of spinning my wheels.
Sandy - So Happy that your weekend was a SuCCESS :happy: What steak was it? Filet Mignon or something... Roast Duck Breast sounds very different from your usual, Great Choice I'm so glad you left calorie counting behind this weekend :drinker: I love burning calories while doing things around the house... You must wear that HRM constantly :laugh: Every Calorie Counts
Megan - Sounds like working out at the gym is becoming your "Get-away". Good for you :flowerforyou: We all need something that is ONLY for US :bigsmile: Which exercises are good for the saddlebags? I have them too, but I will continue to call them "hips" :laugh: GLad to hear the kiddies are getting better.
Nicole - It had been a while since I did Zumba too... It reminded me how much I love it. :bigsmile: When is the Hair Show?
Amanda - So happy you are probably having so much Fun, turning your new House into a HOme :bigsmile:
I'm going back to the gym today and Giving it my all, to hang onto as many calories as I can :happy:
Probably 30 on the elliptical and then some Abs, Triceps, Hamstrings...
Make it a Fabulous Day Ladies!0 -
No workout today, I have to work tomorrow for 5 hours of cleaning at BSU. FUF FUN!!!
Spicy For my saddlebags I use the machine that is like a reverse thigh master. You have weight on your legs while you try to open them. I try to do low weight and high rep so I don't build that muscle too much.
I hope everyone else is doing good.

:mad: :mad: :mad: I just lost my message!!!!:mad: :mad:
Anyway, sorry I've not been around!! I've been really busy with kids, errands, workouts & yardwork!! I need to desperately get the diet side of my healthy lifestyle back! I'm struggling with my TOM & I want to eat everything in sight! I will be logging everything that I eat & I won't be eating any kiddy snacks!! I have one month until my beach vacation & I've gotta get my stuff together! We're going to the Outter Banks, NC & I'm really looking forward to it!
I went to step class on Monday & Wednesday, Tuesday I did BL Cardio Max with some treadmill. Thursdays are usually my rest day, but I really feel like I need to do something! My house needs a good cleaning, maybe I'll crank the tunes, strap on my HRM & get to work!!
You girls are great!! Thank you so much for being here & keeping me motivated & accountable!!

Hey Ladies!!!
Sorry I am not here more life is so busy right now! There has not been a day yet where I had five minutes to sit at the computer. I started Jillian's last chance work out yesterday. It is 6 weeks long and I think it is going to be great!!! I am sore from yesterday and today I have to do upper body I think it is. I really enjoy her and she really motivates me a lot. TOM is coming and it does not seem to be bothering me at all this time. Last night Jeff brought out the Lime chips and velvetta dip I ate one and then moved on to my organic crackers and a little goat cheese. I was proud of myself Oh and we did decide to bring the puppy to our new house and he has been great. We and Bella could not be happier with him!
Sandy- It is that time of year that we are all going to be getting busier with the kids I think. My family and I have really enjoyed the neighborhood and we take a walk almost every night after dinner with the dogs and the kids like to ride their bikes. Sorry you are having a hard time with TOM Keep strong girl!!!!
Spicy- I do the same thing, work my butt off and then eat something silly! It is hard and at least you worked for those cookies instead of not working out and still eating them!!!! Keep it up girl it is an up hill battle and you can do it!!!
Nicole- Good luck with your race on Saturday, Kick Some Butt Girl!!!
Megan- Great burn with the cleaning! That has turned into my favorite form of exercise lately (Things that have to be done around the house) hahahaha. Keep it up girl!
Hope you all make it a GREAT day!!!
Amanda0 -
hey buddies!! seems like we r all so busy these days...which makes me feel better that im not the only one that has to make things short and sweet on here:laugh:
today i did a step class for the first time and then an hour of yoga! now im off to get some stuff for race day!!! have a great night buddies!!!0 -
Hey girls!
I had a great step & tone class today - 338 cals burned. Hopefully I can get some more flowers planted today, but I really need to clean my house.... :grumble: I'm sure that I'll just end up doing both! Tomorrow going to be our major yard work day, with mowing, wedding, etc so we'll be busy! The weather has been so nice! I just love the spring time! Our big maples out front have just gotten their leaves back & everything looks green again!
I hope you girls all have a great weekend! Keep strong & kick butt!!
:drinker: Sandy0 -

Hola Amigas!!
Here we are - another Monday!! Time to clean up after the weak-end!! I wish my TOM would just come already & be over with!! I have 25 days until the beach!! I gotta get a move on!!
I had a great treadmill workout on Saturday, I think I burned somewhere around 425 or so, I can't remember now & forgot to check before I started replying! We had a nice party to go to for the kids on Saturday night & we got to dance our dinners off a bit, so that was fun!! I haven't danced at a family oriented party in years! It felt good to just let go & have a good time! It was fun to see all four of us out there dancin'!!
MJ & I went for a nice after dinner walk yesterday, but that was the only real exercise I got. Most of the day was a rest day with family.
Great job Nicole!! So very happy & excited for you!! AWESOME!!
Yvonne, I hope that you survived the weakend!!
Amanda, are you still unpacking & have you decided about the new workout routine yet?
Megan, how are thngs with you? I hope your family is keeping healthy!!
Make it a great day buddies!!
