HA!! My DH HATES that show, too!! Like you, don't know when I'll watch it. But I will because this is my trainwreck TV show--I can't look away, even if I should! HA!

Guten Morgen, Peeps! I got my workout last night thanks to Nanny Jo and playing an hour long version of "Escort Houdini back to bed 24 times within an hour" LOL! Here's how it went down: DH and I tucked Houdini in, she was happy, even told us "BYE!" with a smile as we shut the door. As soon...

Thanks, everyone, for the advice and encouragement regarding Houdini's escape issue. I also have a SuperNanny book and Nanny Jo recommends putting her to bed, and if she comes out, escorting her back and saying, "Bedtime, darling." Second time she comes out--just say "Bedtime." Third time and...

PEEPS--I need your help, your .02 cents, ANYTHING!!!!!!! I am EXHAUSTED right now. Houdini lived up to her name last night and figured out how to open her bedroom door. She did not stay down for a nap, so I thought fine, she'll just be extra tired and go to bed early. WRONG. Houdini...

Guten Tag, Peepers! I'm back--Houdini just went down for a nap (4:40PM!!!!!!!!!!) We accomplished much today! First, we had our playdate. Funniest moment of playdate: another little girl who came has to wear a helmet (she has a flat spot on the back of her head they are trying to correct.)...

Guten Morgen, Peeps! :) I just did the 51 minute timesaver of HSC and looooooooooooooooooooooooved it. I just love high step workouts! There's a high fun factor for me with these so I'm so glad I got HSC!!! Today I'm hosting a play date for Houdini at 10:30 this morning and she has two...

Guten Morgen, Peeps! HAPPY 2009!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I did sections 1 & 2 of Rhythmic Step and followed up with the Stretch Max segment with no equipment. I am now eating a bowl of chocolate flavored Malt-o-Meal and am amazed that Houdini is not up yet!! I have on HGTV in the background, DH will...

Karin--Shocking that you have the same paper mess that I do!!! LOL! We are SO alike!! Why don't you ship a box of paper to my house, then fly down, and we'll have a shredding party here in Dallas? HA!!!!!!!!! Ellie--Wow, I never thought about the bridge phobia--I guess because we don't have...

Karin--We were posting at the same time, LOL! Welcome back! :) I'm sorry you are sick, but if you feel up to it, do get out and check out those sales!!! A friend of mine in Indiana went to Banana Republic and it was 50 percent off everything in the store--including new stuff!! (Don't know if...

Guten Morgen, Peeps! Today I did ME Upper Body and Abs. Is it just me, or is this one of Cathe's hardest ab segments EVER? Boy, it slays me everytime...and I'm oh-so-tempted to skip it at the end but I stuck with it today, hurrah! Tonight on the agenda--NOTHING! I always tourture my DH and...

Jerry makes a really good point--don't ignore your feelings! Listen to your body AND mind!! See, Ellie? Not only are we about physical health here on the Peeps board, but MENTAL HEALTH as well!!! :)

Ellie, I'm probably not the person to give advice on this, but one of my resolutions last year was to NOT SAY YES to something unless I ABSOLUTELY WANTED TO DO IT. I got overwhelmed last year by saying "yes" to everything because I'm a pleaser. Like: "Play group? Of course!" Want to meet for...

Guten Morgen, Peeps! I did my steady state cardio this morning--HIS--and I even kind of got the last part!! Whoo hooo, I'm almost there!! OK, for those who are interested, here is the chicken meatball recipe: Chicken Meatballs 1/4 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs 1/4 cup chopped...

Ellie--OK, that's it. I'm paying for you to come to Dallas and teach me, oh wise one, how to organize and clean efficiently!!!!!!!!!! I'll teach you how to cook as the trade off!! LOL! Here's the pot roast I make. Now I like some flavor so I add about a tablespoon of Italian Seasoning to it...

Nope, I *totally* understand that! And I've seen the Bush's Beans commercial so I get it, ha ha! :) I've tried a Giada one, but, eh, wasn't super impressed with it. I did a Sophia Loren one, but I think it had too much olive oil. I might tinker with that one and try again. It's a simple thing...

Guten Morgen, Peeps! I did Boot Camp!! Yea!!!! I feel like I'm totally off to a good start for the week!!! Jill--You did very well with the sweets last night! Bravo! JJ--I laughed when I read about the secret Italian spaghetti sauce recipe. :) OK, I'll keep looking for the perfect...

OK, just did a major session of Clean Max: countertops scrubbed, laundry done and folded, living room and master bedroom dusted, bathrooms scrubbed and dusted, dinner cooked, stuff put away, stuff filed...I will get to vaccuming tomorrow! (The house is such a pit that I couldn't get to...

Guten Morgen, Peeps! No workout for me today. Off day before the big "Peep Circuit Rotation" begins tomorrow. I can't wait to get started. I'm back in the office tomorrow, which means better eating--I can't just sit and graze like I do when I'm at home. And even though someone always brings...
