Happy 2011 everyone! I've been trying to pack in the workouts since I lost so many while sick and trying to get conditioned before we go skiing Thursday. I think my ole body is just pooped now. Sat-BM2 UB pm minus abs, Sun-B&G, Mon-BM2 ultra cardio PM (but stopped during the last 10 min where it is the step and blasts from the 4 power circuits), I was just plain tired. I don't think I'll do too much tomorrow and nothing on Wed so that I have a fresh body for skiing on Thursdsay.

Ronne and Murphy, are you back with us this week?

Mary, how are you feeling? My future DIL got that horrible virus I had, and she's having a hard time kicking it. We also are without an iPad anymore. I'll try to make the story short. DS21, was over with his MB Air and DH jokingly said he would trade, well, that got DS21 thinking and by the end of the night we ended up with the MB air instead of the iPad---go figure! I got a little miffed at the whole thing, DH opened himself up for it and always gives up everything for our kids, but I'm upset because FINALLY we bought something for DH and now he doesn't have it. WTH did he need a laptop for? DS21 claims he bought the laptop(with money we are loaning him I might add) for school and now he thinks he wants the iPad probably mainly because future DIL just got one. Did you follow that?

Have a good day everyone, it's my last day off before back to work tomorrow.
 
Speaking of bang, I would like to shoot whoever gave me this cold! I was sick last week and am feeling better but now begins the "sharing the cold amongst the family members" thing. Other than that, not much working out going on but lots of thinking about working out. I will probably do meso1 of STS.

Murphy
 
Murphy, Oh no, seems that virus really must be traveling East! Watch out Ronne! Hope you feel better Murphy, rest up!
 
Hi girls! Today did LL, quick and a little painful! Murphy, sorry to hear you caught the bug! Still a little congested here, but at least feeling better. Did the kids enjoy the holidays? Lisa, a Mac air book sounds nice. Tho, it sounds like DS got the better end of the deal! Don't we always give in to them? The kids went back to school today, I did enjoy the quiet! Lisa, sorry you have to go back so soon, I have 2 more weeks. Skiing sounds like fun! Need to go pick up youngest from school, have a good night, talk to you tomorrow! Mary
 
Hi everyone! (maybe just myself?). Today did Intensity, the double HIIT and bootcamp. I need to get these Christmas decorations down! I am procrastinating! Lisa, hope you had a good day at work. Murphy, are you feeling any better? Ronne, are you coming back? I will be back to talk to myself again tomorrow! Mary
 
Hi Mary, I'm here! I only did Core Max seg 2 today, resting up my legs and body for skiing Thursday! Work is pretty busy but going ok, it's nice having that after vacation relaxing feel, trying not to get too stressed out! Besides I only have 2 weeks before the Caribbean! did you get those decorations down?

Hi Murphy and Ronne!
 
Hi, I'm here again! lalalala, talking to myself. I woke up WAAAAAY early and really wasn't planning to workout (saving my body for skiing tomorrow), but I did do a bit of UB from ME.

Have a great day everyone, I won't be here tomorrow since I'll be off skiing, if it's just Mary still, don't go crazy talking to yourself. :)
 
Hi girl(s)! Today I did the upper body from CTX. Legs were sore from last two days. Christmas is officially put away! The house looks pretty empty! Lisa, only 2 more weeks! I bet you are so excited! Have fun skiing tomorrow! That counts as a huge workout! Murphy, better? Ronne, hello! Well, off to do housework and enjoy the silence! Mary
 
I am here too. I am feeling better but did not work out today. I broke down and ordered Traci Long's two new dvd's. Collage had one on sale ($3 off) and they had a dvd I have been thinking about on clearance so I bought all three. I got free shipping and save by ordering through them versus through Traci's site -go figure. Anyway, I hope to be b ack to DOMS soon. Happy New Year too all!

Murphy
 
Hello to anyone who is out there! Today I did intervals on the bike and the floor work from PLB. Murphy, I love getting new dvd's! What else did you get? Did you see Kelly Coffey Meyer is having a presage starting on Sat.? Lisa, hope you are having fun on the slopes! Well, need to go shower and do house stuff, have a good day. Mart
 
Hi everyone, just got back from skiing, we stayed the whole day. I ended up leaving my old straight skiis at home and rented some new shaped skiis, made turning a bit easier. My legs aren't near as sore (but maybe it's all the advil I'm taking for cramps). All 5 of us hardly got to ski together for one reason or another. Me and DS19 were the only 2 to ski the entire day. DS21 had a phone interview, so he had to take a break to do that. And then tomorrow (Friday) he has an in person interview with a local company. It will be so great if he can line something up before he graduates in May. The phone interview was for a company he already interviewed with, originally the job was in Washington, and they hired someone else, but they felt he was too strong to let go so wanted to interview him for a job in KY. I hate to see him move, but it would be good experience. The interview tomorrow is with the company our neighbor is VP at. DS called and asked if he received the resume he asked for and then less than 30 min later he had an interview for Friday. Keep your fingers crossed!
 
Happy Friday! Yesterday, I went to our half price bookstore, I found 2 Art of Strength kettle bell w/o's, still in the original wrapper, for $7 a piece! I was so excited! I had looked at them in the past, too rich for me! I tried Providence this morning, challenging, as I have never really don kettle bells before, also got Firepower, that uses 2 bells, will have to work up to that! Also, found a Cathe one, HSC, so a very good find! Lisa, I will send prayers to your son that he finds exactly what he wants! How exciting for him. How are your legs today? Sore? Murphy, did you get your work outs in the mail yet? Hope everyone has a good weekend! Talk to you later, Mary
