I thought I would start this. I haven't done my workout yet. I slept in. I will be doing strength workout A of the rotation I am following but using parts of Slow and Heavy and Parts of Butts and Guts. Now sure what cardio I want to do yet.

Suz, sorry you had to rush home. I am sure it probably feels good to be at home though.

Hermia, sounds like you have been pretty busy.

Diane Sue - I love the "Santa" picture. Very cute. Yes, it is great to be home! I'm glad DH is such a good driver. After we were home he kept saying how he couldn't believe what an awful drive that was and how it was the worst drive ever. Poor guy!

Debbie - I'm sorry but I missed the wimpy weights in your workout. You're so funny! I posted a little more about that trainer last night. I saw that I pushed your hot button. I didn't get a chance to respond since we had to leave Washington pretty quickly.

Today I am going to do shoulders and triceps and cardio so I'll be all caught up (well, I'll be behind on 2 days of cardio but I'm not too worried about that). I also have to address our Christmas cards. I hope they make it on time!

All these people have been finding me through Classmates.com from high school and another guy from high school just found me on Facebook last night. How much fun is that? I went to a huge high school in LA. It's been a lot of fun reconnecting with all of these people.

Suz, I bet that was quite a drive. Bill dressed up as Santa when he surprised the grandchildren Tuesday night We had a lot of fun. Bill had helped with his class reunion and set up a website and everything. He graduated in California. Meeting up with people that you used to know is fun.

Debbie, that looks like one tough workout. Those are not wimpy weights. You amaze me with what you can do.

Hi all! Yesterday was my rest day so today I will be back on schedule with 4DS cardio premix #9.

Debbie...wimpy weights???.... what you talkin' bout willis!
Diane Sue...love the santa pic!
Suz...glad you made it home safely. My two cents on cracker-jack gym trainers....having actually went to college and studied for a degree in physical education it would piss me off when I would be in the gym and some so-called "trainer" wanted to give me tips...are you kidding me! They probably don't even know what kinesiology means let alone how to spell it!

Off to do my workout then to Christmas party.

Hope everyone has a great Saturday!
