Damage Control December...The Day After (Fri)

Hi Girls.

How was everyone's holiday? How did you do on the eating front? I did OKAY actually. I ate. I certainly did not go hungry BUT I practiced portion control so I was never overly full or uncomfortable or regretting eating something. :)

Yesterday was a rest day. Today will be a kettle bell work out. I want to run but it's just not going to happen today.

Tonight we are going to my mom's house to celebrate Christmas with her and her SO and then on Sunday we go back to my mom's where we will visit with my sister and her family for the holiday. I have lots of Christmases this year! :D

Well unfortunately both myself and DH have to work today. BUMMER. Joey is off of school for winter vacation so he'll be coming with me (and driving me nuts, no doubt. :p). I am praying it's very quiet morning in the gym daycare this morning...

No energy for a morning work out so it'll get done this afternoon.

BBL!
 
Good Morning Ladies!

The family had a wonderful day yesterday. The eating was terrible. The meals were good, breakfast was ham, scrambled eggs & toast, dinner was prime rib, salad, raw veggies and a bit of potatoes. It was all the snacking on the cookies etc that was my downfall. I'm back on the wagon today.

What was your favorite gift-or what did you get??? I got a tom tom nav, seat covers, picture frames, and of course my new workouts-3 kb w/o and Chalean Extreme.

My house is a disaster so cleanmax is on the agenda today. There are times I wish we could afford a housecleaner. It's not in the budget and probably never will be. Of course I'm sure once we get all the gifts put away the house will look much better. We also need to babyproof the family room since my grandbabies are coming in tonight.:)

Kettlebells-here I come. I'm going to try out one of my new kb w/o's and my 20#kb. I previewed a bit of KBway, Empire State so I think I'll start with that one. I may add in some cardio too.

Jacque-thanks for the beautiful ecard! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas with your family!

Wendy-Sorry you and DH have to work. My DH is working also. He works for the State so he gets all the government Holidays off.

I'll bbl and let you know how I did with the KB w/o.
 
OM Goodness, I just looked at the time and I've been perusing the forums, checking email etc for an hour and half. I need to get off my duff and get busy!

Have a great one ladies.
 
Good Afternoon, Ladies!! How was everyone's Christmas?

I'm typing from my laptop...woohoo!! Finally got cable and internet back on Wednesday afternoon, which was one day shy of two weeks without it :mad:

The kids and I had a great day yesterday. They got everything they wanted, and then some, and I got Wii Fit from my BF. He's always thinkin'. He figured that it'll be a while before I'm strong enough to go back to my Cathe workouts, so he thought Wii Fit might be just the thing to start me back on the road to fitness. Plus, it allows me to do something fitness related right in the luxury of my own living room, and not in freezing cold temps in the garage. I'm so happy about it. DS helped me set up my profile today, and after my initial tests, it rated my Wii Fit age to be 34 (I'm 37)! Not too shabby for a girl who had NO AB STRENGTH right now, and just went through major surgery :p (Thanks for letting me brag ;))

Diana, you're going to love your kettlebells! They're kind of deceptive at first, because you think "This isn't so hard...". But then tomorrow you'll probably feel muscles you didn't know you had. They're a great workout and a lot of fun. I'm with you on the post-Christmas disaster clean up. Except I'm "directing" while the kids do all the work ;)

Wendy, ugh, sorry you're working today. Good job on the portion control! The holidays are a real challenge for that because everything is just so darn good! My BIL cooked yesterday and everything was delicious, but according to him, "extremely fattening" :eek: Fortunately, I've got a kind of naturaly portion control thing going on these days and just can't eat much, so I don't think I did too much damage yesterday. How did DH like his Christmas gifts?

Well, I'm going to surf around the forums a little bit and see if I can't catch up with you girls. I'll BBL to see if anyone popped in!

Hi Girls.

A quickie here. Gotta jump in the shower soon!

Well a longer then usual nap this afternoon left me feeling groggy and totally unenthused about a work out. That being said, I couldn't decide what I wanted to do. A bell work out was on tap but I wasn't in the mood for an all out 40 min deal so I chose KB Goddess Cardio Endurance premix (20 minutes) and followed it up with blasts 6-10 of Imax 3.

I am just thankful that I pushed myself to do anything and what I did felt like a good work out even though it wasn't the kind of work out that I had originally intended.

Eats...

B: kashi go lean cereal w/ff milk
S: apple
L: usual turkey sandwich, pria bar
Post nap/pre work out sugar craving killer: 1 mini cheese cake-bite size (about 50 cals)
Post work out: Protein shake-8 oz ff milk/1 sc pro pwdr

Hittin' the shower now and then it's off to mom's for the evening once DH gets home and cleans up....

Have a great night girls and I promise to catch up on personals as soon as I can!:)
