Greetings and salutations! It was great having Sister here. Time goes by too fast but I did enjoy every moment spent with my favorite person. (Don't let that go to your head, Michelle...lol) Karate was pretty intense this week, learning new kicks and moves. I was lucky to get the Intermediate...

Merry Christmas! What a lovely day its been. Took a "rest" from the exercise thing to just enjoy the holiday. I will definately be ready Sunday to sweat off some of the good eats I've indulged in. My other sister makes this "yule log" that is to die for! It's like a big, huge swiss cake, or...

Tuesday, and finally, belt graduation. I will be "blue" by the end of this day! Way cool! Ran a few errands this morning, had to buy catfood and drop by Best Buy for my Dad. Alll in all it went pretty quick. No crazy traffic to speak of, but this was just before noon, so perhaps the frenzy...

Shoegal, that is so funny! What clever dogs you have. LOL! I put the cats presents way out of reach, on the top shelf of my closet. Never have had a problem. And shame on you, a PEEKER!?! That ruins the surprise. LOL I loved this post Shoegal, thanks! ~renee

Kick, Punch, Crunch for me today! So much fun. Even though I don't agree with Cathe on what she calls a round house kick, its close enough to qualify for all intents and purposes. Had another day off from school, and now will be off until the new year. Hip hip hooray. Belt graduation is...

SNOW DAY IN central Virginia! Yeah, I know, we will be out for 2 weeks, but getting out a day (or two) early just makes it a little more special. And to celebrate this day, I did all of BodyMax 2. The cardio is so much fun, but by the time you get to the end of it and start the upper body...

Its hard to catch up with everyone, when I 've been so busy with December school things. Plus I have another belt graduation coming up this Friday! I will be moving on to BLUE. Wow! How did that happen so fast? Peppy is fitting in and doing well. The big cats are accepting him into the pride...

One week down, 2 more to go and then school is out for two weeks! Hip Hip Hooray! This is one of my busiest times of the year. My Chorus concert went great, received a lot of compliments on this being the best ever. I think it had a lot to do with music selection, and those kids REALLY want to...

Janie and Michelle...so which one? Let me know, perhaps I'll do it too! Last night I did STS Total Body again. I like that one a lot, it works ya good! This morning (only 10 hours after STS TB) I did an easy step...Low Impact Step. Tomorrow I rest because I have a busy, busy day. My...

Wowzers, miss a few days and you miss a lot! Everyone sounds like they are busy with this and that, and a holiday to boot! Janie, its so good of you to take care of that dog. Also, good of you to return him to his home. Its the only home he knows, and knows no different and is loved by his...

Greetings! What a busy week, and then it was a few days away at the Virginia Music Educators conference in Norfolk. I wasn't all that crazy about going, but it gives me recertification points, and its just nice to get away from the kids for a while. Surprisingly I had a lovely time...

Happy Friday! I am so excited to see this Friday come. As a reward to finishing STS for a second time, some friends and I are going out for pizza, beer and bowling! This is a major treat for me. While doing STS I never drink alcohol...love beer, but it doesn't look good on me. So even when I...

I'm into my final week of STS meso 3! Chest and Back done yesterday evening after the karate tournament and squat legs done this morning. 3 cardios and Shoulders, Tri's and Bi's to go. Yippee! Well, the karate tournament was amazing. I really didn't know what to expect so the whole experience...

Janie, you have nothing to fear but fear itself. Don't let them know you are afraid, maintain the alpha dog persona. It will be alright. ;) I finished up week 3 of meso 3. One week to go! Yippy! As much as I enjoy meso 3, I will be glad to take a break from STS. Will probably do it again in...

Yesterday I went to my first "intermediate" karate class. Yep, let's just say its a wee bit more intense. Worked on kicks, good form, stretching, more kicks, skipping with a side kick, jump kicks, more strecthing. 45 minutes of non-stop intensity. I liked it...a lot. Today, school is closed...

Started the 3rd week of meso 3. I did my all time best yesterday with 82 pound bench press and today 100 pound squat! I did a sillly thing with front squats. My weight was suppose to be 62 pounds. That was what I thought I did but was wondering why it felt so difficult. Could be the 20 pound...

Well, I've been a wee bit under the weather. Took yesterday and today off from work. Yesterday I still went ahead with STS, but today, my body said, "no, enough, give me a rest" a day early. So I listened and am glad. I'm not even going to Karate tonight and that is "killing" me since tomorrow...

Howdy! I did Hiit 30/30 this morning, plus the first segment of Total Body Stretching. That one is good for the legs, and boy do they need it. I have DOMS again, but not to the extent I had last week. Up to 95 pound squats and 80 pound bench press. I love feeling strong! I got extra board...

TGIF! My much needed rest day is finally here. One week of meso 3 done, 3 more weeks to go. I am loving meso 3 but I am definately feeling quite sore. Today, I feel almost DOMS free. Shoegal, I find that if I do FitTV workouts, to expect those irritating commerecial breaks. If I don't want...

Well, YIPPY SKIPPY! One of two performances is now done! The 4th graders did a spectacular job. Very pleased at how well they did. Of course the adrenelin was running, one song was at break neck speed and we finished in about 22 minutes. I was hoping for 25 minutes, but I'll take what I can get...
