Omgosh!! Happy New Year Ladies!!

I really do not like new year resolutions, but saying that, for 2012 I am really, really, going to try to get back on track. I really let myself go last year. With the thyroid cancer in Feb. back to back with the colon cancer the year before and little melanoma thrown in the during the summer... well. It was a tough year. Healthy now and time to get strong and more fit.

Started this morning off with some t-tapp. My dh wanted to try it so I jumped in with him. It's really harder than it looks . Started watching those calories today also. Not counting, just Very Aware!

Have a good one!

I agree Jan! 2011 was a wash for me too!! This is the year we TRAIN hard!! We'll all be in bikinis by June!! Or, if not, we'll at least feel good!

I started off the last two days with spinning. What is t-tapp??

My diet is going to be the 17 day diet for.... uh.. 17 days. And then, well see. My friend is starting the primal diet- Im just going to see what it is about.

I'm back. I missed everyone. I am so ready for a new year. Last year was terrible.

I will start something tomorrow. I don't know what exercise but I have to do something. I used to go to Las Vegas and not feel too bad about how I looked because most people looked worse. Now with all the night clubs there are tons of skinny little girls. I don't want to be skinny but I do want to look a lot better.

Shingles are gone thank heavens. Part of my face still hurts a little if I touch it so I don't touch it. It's the part that didn't blister.

I need to weigh and measure tomorrow. I don't look forward to it because I know I ate too much on vacation. I actually ate less than in prior years but nothing out there is diet.

Eyes are killing me. I don't know how often I can go to LV. The smoke bothered my eyes more than I thought it would.

Good morning,

Weigh in yesterday was 175.8lb. Only thing I did was walking Wednesday and Thursday. Haven't been able to get rid of headache.

Starting to clean office and moving weights to family room. I decided to just leave them out. I have to use that dvd player. I think I will try Cathe's January 3 month rotation. I won't plan an off day since I usually take one any way. I can just keep following the exercises in order rather than on a specific day. I hope to start before Monday but definitely by then.

Weight is down today but will use a Monday weigh in from now on. Still need to measure.

Hope everyone is feeling better and ready to get working out.

I would like to scream. I just found another blister on my lip.

I called doctor's office and told them about blister. They just called back and said it might be nothing. You don't need to blister to have shingles. YES but I do have a blister and now it is starting to hurt. Ok I will tell the doctor. Then she said if I don't get back with you by 5:30 to call my pharmacy. I said yes but my pharmacy is at your office and closes at 4pm. OH. It is now 4:02 and no call.

The doctor's office called at 5. I just had them send prescription to Walgreens. It was $197.42 for 7 days.

I overate at dinner because we were out getting prescription and just stopped at a restaurant. Oh well, tomorrow is another day.

Hi, Y'All!

Sorry to have been absent for so many days, but we went home to Georgia to see my grandson and other family, and to just be in Marietta & Atlanta for the New Year Celebration and our 26th anniversary. It was great, but I am afraid I celebrated quite a lot. However, we did rest and relax, and I do seem to have finally gotten over my horrible cough.

Wow, Joan. I am so sorry that you are having this trouble. I surely do hope that you will be over this very soon.

I am with you ladies. I think I make resolutions just so that I will have something to break! Anyway, both dh and I have some weight to lose, and I think now is the time to do it. We are not getting any younger, and I am concerned about his health as much as my own. That may just be the motivation I need.

Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Hi all!

Magnolia -- Missed you! Sounds like a plan when you can get DH on board. Mine keeps "saying" he wants to do something, then says, let's go out to eat!

Joan {{{{{{Joan}}}}}} I am so sorry you are not over with this. I know you know this, stress brings it on.. Do you drink tea? Yogi has a calming tea, that's what it is called. No caffeine and it's tastes good. I like it.

Beth t-tapp is a set of exercises that doesn't use weights. It is actually very easy to do. AND I have not lost an ounce of weight but have lost an inch off my waist!! I would not have thought that it would happen. I looked at the tape measure a couple of times. I've only done 4 days of exercise.

So I am going to keep doing t-tapp as a warm up, the basic workout is pretty much just a warm up and start adding cardio.
The basic warm up is on you tube if you guys want to look at it. It's filmed in someones basement, no music, and the sound is crappy. The dvd's are the same.

Thanks everyone. The face is no worse so medicine is probably working. It did make me dizzy after 6 hours. Of course the fact I was working at 2 in the morning might have been part of the problem. I am so far behind. But my office is almost clean.

I bought a new computer and now my computer guy will transfer all info. I will not be able to get online until late Wed or Thur.

I am definitely going to do Cathe's new 3 month rotation. I might not be ready before Monday but I am getting everything together. I already printed the STS worksheets I will need for the first 4 weeks.

Everyone be good and exercise and I will talk to you later.

[drover]

hey ya'll, how is everyone? i am doing well. i would love to do the 3-month rotation, but i will have to postpone it for awhile. we will begin the big move soon, and i am so not focused enough to do STS. i am doing good to get my workouts in. i love the new LIS & i got tracie's 2 new workouts. i did reboot 3 times this week. i love her workouts. well, don't know when i'll be back, but hope everyone is doing well this new year.
