I don't think there is another thread so starting us off. I had a nice double Thanksgiving. 1st with sis was typical and depressing, 2nd with my kids was wonderful, had a great time together! I didn't overeat either.

Today I was short on time so only did 4DS Bootcamp cardio only.

Maddy was not eating after Thanksgiving......I think maybe too much fat in her diet...the RX kidney foods is full of fat (because they can't have as much protein).....sigh, something else to be careful of, right now I'm home cooking for her again.....she loves her cream of wheat with rotisserie chicken right now.
 
Hi Lisa and everyone else

Lisa - Well, at least you had one good day ;). Sounds like it was a good idea to split the two.

Getting back into the regular workouts here again. Yesterday I did L&G which I haven't done for months, really enjoyed it. Today I did some Amy Bento step and abs. Decided to do my own little rotation of 1 upper body, 1 lower body, 1 circuit and a couple of cardios and abs each week for the run-up to Christmas.

Going to write some overseas Christmas cards this afternoon!

Have a good day everyone.
 
Hi girls! Just finished ripped and chisled, forgot that there were 10,000 bicep curls at the end1 Did Imax extreme from the terminator yesterday. Lisa, so glad you had fun with the kids! Sorry to hear about Maddy. At least someone likes cream of wheat! Murphy, have you tried the terminator yet? Do you like it? Ronne, sounds like a good rotation you thought of! I might try it. Started Christmas shopping yesterday, at least got the kids started. DH and I are going back to Vegas in 2 weeks, that is our gift to each other. He loves to play the tables. I like to people watch. So fascinating. Have a good day. Mary
 
HI girls! Today I did the last week of Meso3! Sh/Bi/Tri, only 2 more workouts to go and I'm done with STS for a second time. AFter that I'll wing my workouts through Christmas.

Ronne, I put some Amy bentos on my Christmas wish list (ASC2, ASC3, and Slo-Mo), hope I like them! Christmas cards, OMG, do I HAVE to? I'm feeling so lazy this holiday.

Mary, I'm planning on the terminator, gauntlet, leaner legs during my wing it time....looking forward to doing them since they are new to me! You are funny about the cream of wheat! She gobbled it up this morning....I make my steel cut oats with Cacao powder and her cream of wheat with chicken....what a combo! Vegas sounds fun!

Hi Murpy and Leisa, are you out there?
 
hello all

Oh, how the gods laugh at us mere mortals. I should have known better than to type out a plan for workouts!! Came down with a zinger of a cold yesterday evening. Spent the evening slumped on the sofa feeling vvvv sorry for myself. Bit better today but no workouts scheduled for a couple of days now!

Mary - what a great christmas pressie, trip to vegas, sounds fantastic! Very envious.

Lisa - good christmas list! Did you preorder STS cardio as well? You're going to be step ball changing all through christmas!

Right, going to get some food and watch some TV! See you tomorrow.
 
Hi all,

Thanksgiving went well, I did not overeat and I exercised. It felt good. It has been a crazy work week and I am not sleeping much at home - therefore slacking off w/ exercise. I have 2 more insanity's and they sent me Amy Bento abs & stretch. I have not tried it yet. I hope to get back into the groove.

hi everyone! Today I did some kickboxing, started with Amy's In the Ring, got lost and confused, then I put in some Ilaria, with all the starting and stopping, I did about 50 min worth. Ronne, hope that you feel better soon. That happened to me a few weeks ago, I put all the w/o's I was going to do in the workout manager, then I got sick, felt like I cursed myself! Lisa, I have Amy's Slo-Mo, that leg w/o is about the hardest I have ever done! She has some different moves in there, not only for legs, but for everything else. Murphy, glad to see you back. This time of year it is so hard to get everything in. Have a good day! Mary
 
HI everyone.....I decided to pull a workout from the bottom of the pile and ended up doing CArdio fusion all step premix. That darn Hardcore Extreme is still at the bottom with NO hopes of being used anytime soon....I DO NOT likey that one at all.

Ronne, oh dear, dang that Murphy and his law! Happens everytime! I felt in need of some different step routines ( I don't really care for kickbox), so sounds like I picked good ones. Yes I did preorder STS Cardio...can't wait, but then I worry that I may not be able to hang in there with Cathe, I feel like I'm slowing down, maybe it's because I workout now in the morning before I eat anything.

Murphy, good on you for not overeating. It feels so much better to just eat what you need. My 2 thanksgivings were a max of 4 dishes each day. It was nice because that I way I could have all my favorite dishes by celebrating twice :)

Mary, at least you did something! That counts! No walk for Maddy and I for probably the rest of the week. It's bitterly cold here (like a high of 18-20....brrrr). She seems to be feeling better. She actually RAN from the bedroom last night after DH brought her in from her walk when she heard people in the kitchen....I figured it was a sign she was still hungry even though she's gobbled up all I had made her, and sure enough, she polished off more food. I'm still laughing at your comment about the cream of wheat (sshhhh, don't tell her it's nasty stuff!)
 
Hi girls! Today I did Jari's slim and lean, I have been pulling out all of her stuff lately, That one was a bit tedious! Right now I am supposed to be decorating the house for Christmas, I became sidetracked! Lisa, I think you sent some of that cold weather here! We are supposed to be getting in the 20's this weekend! Hope Maddy is doing ok. Ronne, how are you feeling? Better? Worse? Hope all is well. Hi to you Murphy, hope work is getting better. Well, the house is torn apart, I had better go put it back together! Mary
 
Work is still the same, crazy. kids are still the same, creeping into our room at whatever-o'clock in the moring. I am okay otherwise. :) I have 2 insantiy dvd's left and cannot wait to be done. They really are insane!
 
Hi girls....well, no workout for me today ( I had only planned abs, now I'll just have to tack them on tomorrow ----hopefully I can/will).. Anyway I got a late start....was snoozing too good, then it seems everything that could happen did, good thing I hadn't planned to do much.

Mary, it's a high of 7 today! BRRRRRRRR

Murphy, whoops, gotta cut this short,,,,work calls...hi Ronne! This is the kind of day it's been.

oh, and mary come decorate my house, pretty please?
 
hello all

well i haven't managed a workout but i'm feeling much better - hoping to get a workout in this weekend.

Mary - whoa, that's fast! So, are you all decorated now? Do you put lights outside the house?

Lisa - that sounds cold!! Have you got snow? Hope you're keeping warm.

Murph - sounds like you're keeping really busy. Are you going to celebrate when you finish insanity? ;)

Right, off to get some lunch. Hope you all have a good weekend. We've got the school Christmas fair this weekend.

Bye for now
