I caved and did the laundry LOL Now I don't have to spend my entire day off doing laundry. I guess that's the bright side
Yet another day of sleeping in with NO workout! I have to get out of this funk! I'm still 3lbs away from my pre-vacation weight. While I have been eating well I just feel better when I exercise.
When are you back to work Meg? I think Hawaii would have my vote too although Dallas has an awesome outlet mall in Allen! 0 -
I go back at the end of March, so I've still got awhile
I'm the total opposite of you Blue, I come home and get all the laundry done ASAP, can't stand to have it around ha0 -
So I got up this morning and it was hard; I'd gotten I thought plenty of sleep, but the damn cat tore around the house early today (4? 5?) and keep waking me up off and on. I had a cup of coffee, half a half a glass of water (i.e., 4oz), cereal with banana. Got a cup of coffee on my way in. Then, midway through my second class, I felt totally woozy even though I was just sitting there talking. It passed but when class was over I ate a bunch of mints (the only edible thing in my bag) and felt a tad better. I came home, chugged the rest of my water plus 16 more oz and ate lunch. I think I was dehydrated and hungry; funny how that hits you sometimes. In HI, I had a cup of weak coffee, and a packaged danish and managed to stand around waiting for the sunrise for hours; then I had granola bars and biked down the mountain! I suppose that was still more sugar in my system than I had today. Plus two cups of coffee does that to me sometimes, if there's not enough food to absorb it. When I was a kid I had hypoglycemia--I guess it still pops up from time to time.
I should take a walk later but I might pretend it knocked me for a loop in order to nap instead.
Go to HI, Meg! I envy your cheap(er) flights there.0 -
Ha! I fell asleep reading a book I have to review. Nap achieved!0

Well done Jen!0

Yah Naps! I'm struggling through today, again. Seems to be a common theme around 3pm. I did manage to avoid some art reveal at work where they were serving cake
4 of us for your run today, husband, his friend, my friend and me! I'll be happy to not be the one slowing us down, lol.
30DS yesterday went well, I don't find I am increasing my heart rate on the cardio and not sore the next day, maybe I need to try harder. The lack of repercussions are diminishing my drive, hoping starting level 2 will bring it back (3 more days).0 -
I worked out this morning!! Ok kinda pansy with my lame 20 min cardio warmup the started my convict conditioning
I am very retarded at knee tucks... Lets just leave it there lol
Down 5+ lbs this week... Thank god lol0 -
How's the nonsmoking going, Chris? How was the run, Terrie!
I did Basic Training 4B for the first time yesterday, and holy cow, my whole body aches today. Muscles groups that haven't been targeted in a while were used heavily. So my pecs are very sore, my forearms are sore, and I did front squats down pretty low, so my lower gluten are sore. Good sore! But enough to keep me from doing yoga this morning--I don't think I could downward dog for any length of time!
I took another brief nap yesterday. It's this book! I started reading with a cup of tea against my chest, leaning back on the couch, and the next thing I knew I'd dropped the tea and it was spilling all over the place. Oops. I'll finish the book today, taking one last nap, and get on with things!

When is your DRs appt Chris? Hopefully you will have good news for him (you finally quit!) and he will have good news for you!
After being a sloth most of the weekend I had no trouble getting out of bed and working out this morning. YAY - hopefully the funk is gone and I will be up and at 'em every morning this week. I have to get my weight back under control. This last vacation really threw it for a loop! I got in lots of steps every day and I was pretty good on the food - ate normal portions and stocked up on veggies at the buffet, but it was the drinks that killed me. Having gone the last couple of years having drinks only on special occasions to drinking 3 or 4 a day (or more? LOL) for two weeks straight did me in. All that sugar after cutting out most sugars for 4 months prior is wreaking pure havoc on my system. At least I won't be drinking a ton in Denmark - I'm really going to watch it and hope for the best. I'm actually thinking of bringing my runners! It will be cool while we're there - lows at freezing and highs just above. Perfect running weather for me. Even if I run a couple of times a week that's better than nothing. I say this now LOL We'll see what happens when I'm actually there! I tend not to waste room in the suitcase for workout clothes LOL0 -
The run was good Jen. 4km, husband had trouble keeping up but didn't do too bad considering he has never in his life ran further than 1km.
Do you have someone to run with in Denmark Blue?
Continuing with 30DS, moved onto Level 2. So many planks! My abs aren't ready for them so they still feel like they work my arms more than anything (miss that about NROLFW, by time I got to planks, my abs felt the brunt of it like they are supposed to).
5lbs is a great loss Chris!

I brought workout clothes on my vacation! I used one set to walk about, and then the warmer stuff for the time at the volcano/biking down. I wanted to walk more, but since I bit it on the bike my leg hurt the remaining full day. Bah!
I did a plain plank today for only 30 seconds and my arms were a tad shaky--I haven't done one in so long! I felt kind of pathetic.
Good on your husband, Terrie! BTW, you should join us on FB. When we vanish from here we're sometimes there.0 -

January 28...tick tock ... I have no joy in going to that appointment lol I did wear a patch yesterday (smoked some) and I have one on today... fingers crossed. So far so good.
So I have discovered that I have the opposite problem than most humans.. I don't eat enough on the weekends... Sat and Sun left me with 500+ cals on the table. Saturday I ate a yummy apple tartlet thing but yesterday I didn't even hit 1200... I don't know why, I have always been busier on weekends I guess (not chained to my desk) so I sporadically eat...0 -
My hubby will run with me in Denmark Terrie - we may even convince Aaron to run with us too, although I'll likely be too slow for him. He is a professional hockey player after all
Good on your hubby for keeping up to you! And running the whole distance! 4k is a comfortable run for me that usually takes me about 28 min. If I can do that a couple of times while we're gone, I'll be happy.
Lots of plank style moves in Level 2 - very effective! I remember being sore after the first couple of times. And my arms were very tired!
Christina, do you try to average your foods out over the week if you have such low weekends? Yeah, I don't have that problem at all! Weekends are usually when I can pack away a large bag of jalapeno kettle chips And way over calories. But kettle chips have no sugar 0 -

no I don't try to average it lol some nights during the week I will be over on calories just because we may have to grab pizza, mcdonald's or something on go depending on schedules...
see I am weird... I knew it

Where are you guys on facebook, a group?
Visiting a friend for her 30th today, long 3.5 hour drive times 2 will means no work out today. I could use the break, I only did volleyball yesterday without 30DS. I don't know if it is weather or what but my head had been killing me lately!0 -
Hi ladies.
Not much to add here but wanted to pop in and say hi. My kid is driving me bananas these days... He had his 2 month appt yesterday and had his shots so he's been less than pleasent. We are also having to change up his sleeping habits (was using a vibrating chair) so he can fall asleep on his own... Sigh.
I think I'm going to wait until February first to start paying close attention to what I'm eating... And probably start working out then as well. Just can't get into that mindset quite yet.
Blue - I love running in different places! When I lived in Spain I ran all the time, although got several weird looks from people there as that wasn't very common.
Clam - I have the opposite issue, weekends are where I overdo it!
Terrie - we're friends on fb and have a constant message thread going. Feel free to friend me on fb (Megan Ramaley Fisher).
Jen - I don't even think I could do a ten second plank yet 0 -
lol just don't pay attention to my facebook posts... most are about my 7yo diva child... LOL0

Christina's posts are most entertaining Her daughter is going to write a book and buy a castle 0

YOU LIVED IN SPAIN? Hot damn, Meg!0

yeah thats the new goal LOL she asked me last night "how much is a castle mommy... like a billion?" LOL
lord help me....0 -
YOU LIVED IN SPAIN? Hot damn, Meg!
Somehow I missed that! WOW! When and for how long? and why? How did you end up there?
Now I see the post where baby is a little fussy. Poor little guy - or I guess I should say poor Mom! It's pretty hard to focus on your own needs when you're still trying to figure out his. Is he a pretty good baby otherwise? Taking him to the mall (if it's still not nice enough to take him out) and pushing him around burns calories - even if that's all you do. My problem would be staying out of the stores
Got a NR workout in this morning YAY I finally feel back on track. Still not back to my pre-vacay weight yet but at least it's getting closer! I wish I could whoosh but my body doesn't seem to do that. I guess I have to take the .2s and the .4s when they come.0 -
Ok. I've added meg. I am terrie kostiw on fb.0

Terrie I was trying to stalk your wedding photos but you haven't posted an album yet!! The one's you're tagged in are awesome! Beautiful location! Was it Canmore? Loved your dress!0

I lived in Spain in college (studied abroad) for 6 months. So amazing, I want to go back so badly.
Charlie is getting back into his normal happy go lucky grove for the most part. He has his moments, but honestly I feel pretty lucky. He slept almost 7 hours last night! We went to mom and baby yoga today and we had a new teacher who was awesome. She made it more of a flow class and used the baby for some strength moves... I think my arms will feel it tomorrow. I also waked quite a bit today, almost 4 miles!
Blue- good on you for the workout!0 -
That's awesome Meg. There are so many things I wish I had done when I was younger! Like spending an extended time abroad, work on a cruise ship etc. Now that I'm old(er) and have too many responsibilities it's just not as easy. I have to wait for retirement. Hopefully that will come sooner than later LOL I look at Aaron and the places he's lived - Germany, the Netherlands and now Denmark - I'm so jealous! I'm glad he got the opportunity to do what he's doing. Bonus, I guess, is that I get to visit him in these places
How are the arms today? Mom and baby workouts sound like fun - as long as baby cooperates 0 -
Thanks. It was Lake Louise. We should hopefully get all the pics back next week, then maybe I will post more.
Day 2 of 30DS Level 2.. made me realize how much I hate 30DS, can't wait to lift again! I don't feel like I have gotten anywhere, I guess it has only been 2 weeks but I could see improvements after 2 weeks of NROLFW.0 -
Greetings! Glad to hear Charlie's letting you sleep, Meg! New babies are tough!
I did Basic Training 4/B yesterday. It went pretty well; I didn't really up any weight, but I didn't drop much of any, either, which is sometimes the case when I do something for a second time and my muscles are fatigued. I just got back now from run/walking for a half an hour. Now I need to probably get some work done, though I'd like to loaf
Happy Thursday!0 -
Totally mediocre workout today. I had a feeling I didn't have enough in my stomach to work with, and by 2/3 of the way through I was shaking and called it a day. Sad! I got some good lifts in, just not enough.
The mister, because he attends a proper gym and has a trainer, informed me today that he's put on 3.5 lbs of muscle since starting his workout/lifting program. I'm so happy for him! I'm also wondering what my numbers would be, had I had numbers from last November when this started. He's lost 2% body fat. I'd like to think I've lost a bunch, but who knows. The measuring calculators seem ineffectual, since parts of my body have grown with muscle addition (see: *kitten*). Alas! We'll never know.
Now if only my stomach fat would hit the road. I feel kind of stuck in that department. I suppose I'd have to do a cut, but I'm not eager to do that at all. :P0
