DDs have the day off today! YAY! However, we have to go in to school this AM for their conferences. Right at Julia's naptime! Lovely! Wish me luck!
Dance later and the weekend is looking extremely busy but all good fun stuff.
We had fun last night w/ my bro's fam. Can you say helium? We were ROFL! Mike has a helium tank and my brother was inhaling making us CRACK UP! DDs were LOL so hard! Ugh, I could never do that! Too scared!
Ended up in bed with no WO and ate a slice of FRENCH SILK CHOC PIE that was TO DIE FOR! YUM! It was a blip and eats willbe back on it today!
Hoping to fit some WO in during the daytime today - wish me luck!

Morning girls,
We had a busy morning. Had to take Ellie to the dermatologist for a little mole she has. Anyway, no WO this morning - was feeling really tight and sore but I'm feeling better now so will prob get one in this afternoon.
I might have english lessons with that little boy but I'm not sure. I'm kind of hoping not...
Katie, HAPPY FRIDAY TO YOU!!
Kate, so fun with family last night. Helium makes things so hilarious. Good luck with your workout. I would be so unmotivated if I could only do low impact. French silk pie sounds super yum!
Feeling slightly hungry today - need to keep busy so I don't binge!
Have a great day!

good morning!! i too was tight and sore this am, but had a nice long run to loosen up. we are going to the zoo shortly, and dh will be home at lunch. i am hoping to go to the grocery store later to make a real dinner, alone! maybe some mahi, veg and potatoes? i also need to plan what to make for thanksgiving dessert next week. hmmm.
morning katie. how is your stres level today?
hi kate - how does the versa climber feel on your leg? i am glad you had so much fun with your family.

Our thread is so quiet lately... we drop down the page so quickly!
Nina, good morning! Glad you got that run in but I would expect nothing less. YAY for DH coming home! Are you going to get a sitter?
Kate, does Isabel know all her letters and their sounds? If yes, I would recommend starting at the K level, if no, start at the pre-K.
Ellie's mole is no biggie - it's a little red spot on her face (looks like a pimple at first) that appeared in June. We took her in early October to have it looked at and they said it's benign. Today we were going to have them use a laser to get rid of it but when we got there they said they'd rather do it when she has some numbing cream on it since they don't want it to hurt her. I wish they would have called us to tell us that. Oh well... I think we're going to have someone in the States look at it anyway for a second opinion. Just odd to work through here.
OK, feeling less tight this PM so I'm going to do a circuit wo now. Not sure which one. Strange to not be working from a rotation. Have to say that I have MAJOR DOMS in my biceps (sore to the touch) from KPC. Haven't done work like that in a long time!
OK, bbl...

Morning!
The girls have a 1/2 day today-not sure what we're going to do during the day but tonight is our first Family Fun Night. It's Danica's choice and she wants to bake cookies and play a board game If it's warm enough, we may even try for a bonfire! Today's workout is cardio-either kickbox or some step I think. Eats will be good!
Kate, Your girls are gems-no worries on conferences. Why does Mike have a helium tank? Did you make the pie? I can't wait til Thanksgiving-my uncle makes pumpkin, coconut creme, chocolate creme, and apple. So good!
Angie, had to lol about your not wanting to tutor-been there! Milla has a broken capillary on her cheek-it that what Ellie has? We're leaving it alone until it starts to bother her. Wow! Sore biceps from KPC? Were you using weighted gloves? Or just cause you were punching like a mad woman?
Nina, your dinner idea sounds delish! What are you doing for Thanksgiving? We're going to my grandma's house but ordering out-blasphemy I know. It's a lot easier though, with everyone's health problems to just get takeout. Have fun at the zoo! I want to take the girls during the winter-we've never seen the animlas in any other season other than summer!

Nina, Have fun @ the zoo! It's cold and wet here today...
Yummy dinner!
I should try the vc and see how taht feels. I suppose as long as I don't go too deep....hmmmmm
Glad you had a good run!
TxG dessert - cheesecake or apple pie please!
Angie, Def the K level for her - she has some she can already read. I'm just hoping to speed things up a little for her. She wants so badly to be able to read more.
Glad Ellie's ok!
WTG w. the WOs! Love doms!
Klaudia, Thanks re the girls....they are pretty good if I do say so myself! But oh, the times they aren't!
Mike has a tank bec they're not expensive and it gives us balloons a lot chepaer than the store for parties and such!
OF COURSE the pie was homemade! Blasphemy! Your uncles pies sounds wonderful!
Enjoy your afternoon w/ your girls! And Fam Night too!
-
Conferences went well. Isabel's teacher said she wished every student was just like Isabel.
Eats are 100% thus far and staying that way.
Off to CS......Wish I could lift but the girlsare outside and I hate being downstairs when they're outside.
Colleen, Any word on the job offers?

HSTA done! I always forget about the leg presses... oh, the leg presses. And then in the 4th cycle she throws that double at you! Geez. And I say forget you when she does the compound hamstring/chest deals at the end... maybe at the beginning lady!
Klaudia, family night sounds so fun. I think we'll be able to do more of that in just about a year. Right now Ellie is still kind of in destructo mode! She drives us crazy during games and her attention span is worth nothing! What WO did you choose?
Kate, what a nice compliment about Isabel! Don't you love to hear those things? Annabel's teacher from last year has told multiple parents that she thinks Annabel is really bright! So great to hear (especially in a foreign country!).
OK, off to pick up kids in my sweaty wo clothes. Hope I don't have to kiss anyone!

Just read the shock cardio update and I have to say that I'm really excited about these workouts! I don't know if I wasn't paying attention but I didn't remember them mentioning circuit workouts and I'm super pumped about that because I love them and felt that they were lacking in the whole STS hoop-la!
I'll be interested to see the MMA ones. Do you think they're waiting for Jai to film those?
I really hope they ship by Dec 15 because I would love to have them before Christmas so I can test run them before our cruise! Gives me something fun to do at home.
Dinner for girls time... Dinner for me and Ryan later.

So I decided to do the Cardio Blast premix from DM. I love that work out! It goes by so fast and I was a sweaty mess when I finished. Trying to figue out what to have for lunch-leftover pasta w/broccoli and cannelini beans maybe? Or will that be too bloaty? Going to see a lot of old college friends tomorrow and I want to look trim Maybe a turkey wrap and carrots instead?
Kate, I can only imagine what would happen in our house if we had a helium tank!
Angie, I can't wait for Shock Cardio either! I was thinking if I do 2 new workouts per week, that'll be 5 weeks of new workouts! As for tonight-wish us luck! We've never really played a game. I think we'll play Scrabble Jr. since Nevena knows her letters
Colleen, congrats!

hi evryone - zoo was so fun. what a pretty summer-like day for it - 70 and no humidity and sunny. we stayed for 2 hrs and it was fun. no fd either. came home for lunch, quiet time, and dh is due in momentarily. i am so relaxed and happy. i did some of the bodyrock.tv stuff during quiet time. my own mish mosh, but it was fun and tough. also did core work.
klaudia, i was drooling after your post about pie! yum. ordering out sounds perfect and easy. whose house do you go to? great wo, and have fun tonight!!
kate, glad conferences went well. i expected nothing less. maybe versa climbing isn't such a good idea with the direct weight on your legs like that will you cook at all in colorado? i am glad you are excited to fly with the girls. i am so happy to NOT travel with the boys. they are good travelers, but it is a hassle, and i prefer home or someplace close by.
angie, ghreat wo!! i am sure you will be missing family next week with the holiday. make some mashed potatos though. and te new wos do look fun. i think i will be ready for a break from insanity by then, though i do enjoy it
colleen, congrats!
gotta jump - a's awake

Angie, ^5 for our smart girls!
WTG on HST! I love/hate the leg presses!
ROFLOL re not having to kiss anyone! Too funny!
Im excited abt Shock Cardio too - but I highly doubt they'll be out by Dec15! Maybe Jan 15! They are notoriously S-l-o-w! Granted, it's always worth the wait and I have plenty to do in the mean time but I hate how they are always so off on their estimate dates. I'm exicted for MMA too - def buying a heavy bag! Can't wait to punch the life out of that thing! Your UB gets such a better wokrout rather than swingin' in the air. And I have just the face to picture on it! hahahahahaha! I hope Jai is in them too.
Colleen, Hope the mtg isnt bad news!
How does the offer look?!?!?
Klaudia, WTG on DM.... ....and your lunch.....either choice sounds good!

DDs tree fort is getting built right now! They're so excited. They were watching him out the window and Gina yelled out "we're watching to see when he falls!" LOL!!!! Mike had started to build one....but didnt get too far. So he hired it out. I'm a bit abt hiring out building a tree fort but I didn't have much say. And I'm not the one building it, so oh well!
Eats are clean and I got 2 CS sessions in! All stretched out! Now if J will nap I can get my weights in!
Wendy, HOw are you doing today? JJ napping for you? I tell you what,,,,when we get back from CO that girl is getting a major sleep training! No mercy!

Hey NIna,,,,you jumped in! Glad you had a fun day! You deserve it!
I need to chck out that site.....! I looked briefly but need to look more.
Not too sure abt the cooking. We're staying with friends and they eat gluten-free. BF has celiac. Mike thinks he's gonna die goign 5 day with no bread! LOL! I'm sure I'll be helping her cook. There'll be 9 of us all together so lots of opportunity!
