Just gettin' us started here.

Be back with personals...
 
Good morning Cheetahville!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Cathy - Thanks again for being our jolly thread starter! I give you a lot of credit...today's title was a toughie:p. Merry Christmas sweetie!

I wish I had time for a more appropriate Christmas greeting but I'm a bit late right now and really have to get the tuchus in gear. I will, I will, I WILL(!) be back with personals at some point today:D.

You ladies are the most incredible group of women I've ever met. May your Christmas be filled with love and joy and everything you all so richly deserve! See you gals a bit later!
 
HO, HO, HO...

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!​

One tired elf here....lol...been going since 7am today...er...wait..yesterday?!?! Gonna get a few hours nap here before the action starts, but wanted to log in while I had the chance and send all the fabulous Cheetahs holiday wishes.

Have a wonderful day, ya'll!

POSH
 
Wendy— Meant to tell you I liked the thread title, too. Sometimes the best I can do is put the day of the week on that sucker—and you know me, even THEN, there’s a chance I might not get it right! *lol* So, I hear you!...Yeah, our forecasters advised people to "wait an hour" before going to the mall yesterday, but as it usually is, it was worse in the city and west…Ya know, I don’t know—I guess I am expected to coordinate the swap because I am the one who proposed doing it the way we do it now, and it’s a little more complicated than before. Somehow it has also fallen to me to bring a game on Christmas Day (we all get together again). Hope Joey is feeling good enough to enjoy Santa’s deliveries!

Carole—how was your run in the rain? Was it chilly? Anyway, great that you’re getting some precip! I know you need it...I’ve never tried seitan (please tell me that is pronounced sight-in and not satan! *LOL*), but anything with cheese on it sounds yummy! Just wondering…do others in the family try the dishes you bring or do they pooh-pooh anything vegetarian? I know I told you a time when my vegetarian cousin hosted a party and tricked all the haters by not telling them they weren’t eating real meat. I think that shut them up for good!...*lol* about your little smiley guy. Guess that’s better than stuffin’ the guy in the can. *lol*

Linda—I wasn’t tired at all all day—I think what happens with me is that I cannot slow down—if I do, that’s when my energy levels will plummet. I thought I’d sit in the computer chair, relax for just a bit, and catch up with ya's here, but it backfired on me. Great job pushing through a very INTENSE workout even though you were pooped! That is amazing! Ut oh…I don’t think I should listen to the CLE talk…it’s starting to sound tempting!

Christine—you LIKE working your legs 3x a week???

*lol* Well, I didn’t crash immediately after school. I went out for a long lunch with one of my friends from school and then came home to chill for a bit. Eked out 20 on the EXT and then hit the sack EARLY. We go back on the 5th. The catering setup sounds wonderful. Have fun hostessing!

Shelly—yeowch!!! How’s that fanny feeling after yesterday’s crash? I almost did the same going down the front steps on Sunday morning…There will be some skiing opportunities, I’m sure—just not a big trip, and that’s OK...(((HUGS))) to you. You know you're not alone...we're with ya in spirit. :)

Dallas—it’s totally understandable if you can’t make it back during the hubbub of the holidays! That’s wonderful that you will be able to visit with the ILs today, after all…It’s always fascinating to me how the MTs know the body so well.

Jackie—what a total nightmare for BIL. How sickening to know they have all that info…Someone forwarded me a list of crime prevention tips, and it said if someone tries to rob you, throw your purse away from you and run because the thief will go for the purse and leave you be, but I don’t know if I would have time or the sense to do that in a split second…What a great gift idea for BIL…IA with your philosophy on gift-giving. That’s how my family does it—buy for the kids only and the adults do the swap for fun.

Laura—Merry Christmas! Hope there’s no shenanigans from the internet today.

Wendi—no sweat on personals—it’s just great to have you drop in.

Judy—hope your guests enjoyed the festivities.

Christmas at my aunt's was a good time. I was very happy with our gift swap—we had some interesting items in the mix, but I ended up with a goodie: Perfect Pushups (which mostly everyone else HATED, btw)!! Most importantly, everyone had a blast!

Today will be 4DS weights and possibly some cardio.
 
Good morning cheetahs

Cathy...love the Santa! The run in the rain was not bad. I did intervals and it just felt great. I say "seetan" and yes, this year is the first time I have had more of the family try the dishes. Both my sis (Karen) and her DH tried the enchiladas. They were tasty. I probably would not try tricking them. I was wondering if me calling them "carnivores" had made any impact...:D ..DH is still half in, half out of the dog house. Way to go on scoring the PP's. I have never cared much for the gift exchange so I do not participate but it is fun watching...:)..Enjoy 4DS weights and cardio.

Posh..have a Merry X-mas!

Linda...you are welcome for the card, I am such a softie for puppies!! 6 miles after 4DS legs is quite the workout.

Christine...How did the busy day go yesterday? Last night was fun. I don't participate in the gift exchange but find myself smiling when my oldest sis got a bit upset about what she ended up with...:D...50 people for X-mas??...WOW...I hope you all have a great time. IA with your sentiments...:)

Shelly...I can so relate to how you feel this X-mas. I never got quite in the mood myself and also did not decorate. I wish I could have had you here! We would have a blast...:)...my most precious gifts were from my clients, I am blessed to have some great ones. DH and I don't exchange either. So sorry about the spill...you don't have much fanny to bruise! Good job with the 6 mile iTread. The enchiladas were good but the drama as DH made them was something I could have done without. Sending warm Santa {{{hugs}}} your way today...

Jackie...DH did get me some warm PJ's (he says they are from the dogs), so that was nice but I am still making that smiley face when he turns around. Yes it will be dinner and tofurky (for me and DH) at my sisters today.

Dallas...the coughing would be no fun but you are right about it being better than the stomach flu!

I am planning on MM upper, abs and a 7 mile run. The some major housecleaning before the Tofurky and Green Bean casserole preparation. Then off to my sister Karen's for X-mas dinner. I might take my pepper spray just in case my oldest PITA sis behaves badly...

I so loved getting all the cards from my cheetahs, if I forgot individual thanks then I will thank all again...THANKS! You are a great group of friends that I so treasure...:D
 
Merry Christmas!!!! I hope all of you wonderful Cheetahs have a very wonderful day!!!

Jackie - Yes, she is worse….or at least as “bad” as Cathe when it comes to the heavy weights! ;) But we love it! J LOL Yay! The boxing bag and gloves sound great! I would love to have a bag! I have gotta try tofurky!! Everytime I hear you guys talk about it, it really gets me curious!

Shelly - I hope you are having a wonderful day! MY DH and I didn’t exchange presents, either.. I agree with you, the presents aren’t what it’s all about! You guys have had one busy, out of the ordinary year! CLE is Chalene Extreme….but I think I messed up…I think it is CLX…oh well. LOL. It is a per iodization program on the lines of STS…or maybe P90X. Chalene Johnson (the Turbo Jam lady…Beach Body) just released it.. It looks like it may be good, but I haven’t gotten very far into my previewing! Thanks so much for your remark about my workout the other day! It actually energized me after the long day! J

Dallas s- I am glad your MIL’s blood work looked good! Enjoy your visit! Don’t know what is bothering you, but I sure hope it works itself out! Sending some good vibes and prayers that your little boys get over their cold soon!

Posh - Thank you so much for the card!! Holy crap!!! You have been up since 7:00 a.m. YESTERDAY? Get some much needed rest…and Merry Christmas!!!

Christine - Good job on the original BM yesterday! I love that one! I especially like the horizontal lunges across the step….I think because I love the beat of the music she uses with that move! It really pumps me up! J

Wendi - I agree 100% with you on your remark about this being the most wonderful group of ladies….(err..Cheetahs J ) !! I hope the same for you!!! ((hugs))

Cathy - I guess I am kind of the same way…it is when I slow down that I “crash”! LOL…..CLX does look and sound good! I am excited about it….but kind of mad at myself, too! It was stupid of me to get it that close to STS! But I thought the price may go up??? But I don’t know. I do love that it is on the shorter side!!!! Enjoy your 4DS and the cardio!

Carole - LOL about the pepper spray!!! Thanks re: my workout!! Your dinner sounds yummy! I would love to try Tofurky!! Enjoy your run and 4DS!

Karen - I hope you and your family are doing okay. Try to have a Merry Christmas and know that your mom, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.!

This morning I got outside and had a wonderful 10 mile run. It felt so good! It was 30 degrees and went up to 38. I really needed that. Last Christmas my workout was a 10 mile run. That is my present to myself! J

I am going to say the same as Carole - I do hope I didn’t forget to thank anyone for their card! Thank all of you guys very much! I just love them! It is really special to receive them from all of you.

Merry Christmas to everyone!

Linda

Cheetah Darlings!!

Cathy – Yeah, I’m weird, I know. I do like working my legs 3x a week. :p Glad you had a good time at your Aunt’s house, and SCORE! On the Perfect Pushups! Cool! Enjoy 4DS Weights. Merry Christmas to you, my friend!

Wendi – enjoy your mom and grandma! Hope you have a Merry Christmas!

Carole – oh you’re too funny – love that your sis’s getting bad gifts makes you smile. :p Have fun with the Tofurky and Green Beans!! Merry Christmas, my roomie!!

Jackie – Ohhh a boxing bag and gloves! That’s great!! Merry Christmas!

Posh – Hope you have a wonderful Christmas!! Thanks for checking in!

Linda – I enjoy BMax too! And yes, I love the lunges. They get me good. Wow! A 10 mile run on Christmas!! What a wonderful present to yourself! Merry Christmas!!

Well, the party last night was a smash hit. A great time was had by all! We’re all up, and pretty tired, actually as we were up too late last night, but we had a nice morning. Now, the turkey is in the oven and we’re relaxing. DS25 will stop by at 3, so we have another round of presents. He’s at the food bank serving dinners.
 
Merry Christmas, Cheetahs!

Just wanted to pop in really quick and wish everyone a very happy holiday.

This week has been a toughie for us. Had the funeral for our friends' little one on Monday, and then yesterday, this happened:
http://www.ksl.com/?nid=148&sid=5160395

One of the victims was a close family friend. He went to high school with my sister and was just newly married. Just a kid. :(

Anyway, I'm sorry-- hate to be such a downer lately, especially around the holidays!!! But I'm having a pretty rough time. (Needless to say the workouts have been rather lackluster this week.) :( :( :( When it rains, it certainly does pour, doesn't it? :(

It has been nice to be with family, but man this holiday has been a heartbreaker.

I'll try to catch up on this week's posts in the next couple of days... I've really missed my Cheetah friends. Hope all is well with everyone.
 
Merry Boxing Day

HI Cheetahs :D

Shelly- I hope you had a relaxing day and not too lonely. DH and I do not exchange gifts either. did you get in a good workout? DD17 just started knitting. She made her boyfriend and brother winter hats. She also made some slippers for girlfriends.

Christine- Oh my 50 people is a huge party! The catering was a great way to go. Was the food yummy? Nice of DS25 to serve dinners on Christmas day.

Carole- That is so sweet that your clients give you meaningful gifts. my hairdresser and my nail tech are among the special people on my giving list also.

Brighton- I am so sorry about the snowmobile accident. I saw the news story.

Linda- I remember you did that 10 mile run last Christmas. Doing it again my lead to a custom Christmas run! I did a 5.5 mile run outside. yesterday. It felt good to run outside again. How is DD ?

Cathy- So what games did you bring to share with the clan? Any ski days planned?

Wendi- How is the visit with Mom and Grandma going? Did you and DSO have some time together too?

Jackie- Wow a boxing bag and gloves! Somebody knows you well!

Dallas- Were you able to have a nice visit at MIL's with the family? I hope it went well!!

HI Wendy! I hope Joey enjoyed the magic of Christmas.

Yesterday was a 5.5 mile outside run in early afternoon. Today is supposed to be a run and yoga class. I am still on the fence because I have not been running on 2 consecutive days. I may change it up and do some kind of weight workout and then yoga class. Then I can run tomorrow on my typical rest day. (I took the 24th as an unplanned rest day)
