OK , Jo, I had to laugh this morning after I was done with MMA Fusion. I forgot all about some of those moves in there...it was probably a month ago almost since I had done that one...Did you preview this on first? I think I did so I kind of knew what was coming so this was actually my third time to see it and second time to do it. That probably helped but nothing helped me with those scissors lunges into straight leg kicks after all those deadlifts yesterday. Surely there is a method to Cathe's madness, sticking this one after leg day but who knows. I do love all the skills I feel like I pick up though. Even though I know I will never be in an MMA fight , after this work out I feel like I trained for one...a little

Well I am off to try to make less of a mess of the house.

Still here with my coffee, in my pj's, the snow is falling thick and heavy. Not sure what the driving will be like later, dd has swimming lessons then pianos lessons. Not sure if we will make it.

I LOVE Cendrine's description of drinking hot chocolate on the porch and watching the rain. Sounds wonderful!

Jo, DH and I were commenting that disc 9 was a little easier than the first 2 leg workouts too. I was absolutely dreading it but it wasn't bad. I'm looking forward to DH trying the trisets in Meso2 as he only did meso 1 last year because he was training for the marathon and wanted all endurance workouts. BTW, I loved your answer to your friend who questioned your dedication to fitness. I watched TBL, lots of drama this week!

Cendrien HOW EXCITING a new business! To be able to earn money doing something you love would be amazing! I'm so happy to hear that y our workouts are progressing nicely!

Mary Oh, I love the song "All Summer Long" by Kid Rock. I think where we have such cold winters, we just appreciate our summers so much. We have a cottage, go camping and that is just such a camping song. I can't believe your coworkers make you feel guilty for not motivating them that's a lot of nerve. So your been doing the rotation plu 2 extra workouts each week, no wonder your tired!! I've been doing the rotation and one extra cardio but usually something with my family like skiing or skating.

Rachael No damage from the hail? How was the movie? I enjoyed some of the funny new moves in MMA fusion, fun to try.

Hi Girls,

we just got done cleaning the house and eating lunch. The kids did so well helping with the cleaning, we made them healthy kettle corn and let them watch a movie. They loved it.

Now I have to go get ready for a baby shower. I don't know the mother very well but I feel obliged to go. Hopefully I can sneak out before too long. It's always odd for me to be in a group of people where I hardly know anyone but the person it is for...I'm not much of a social mingler.

Kim, it must look beautiful with all the snow on the trees and everywhere! I always loved the look of frost and snow on nature, as long as I didn't have to go out in it...LOL! Believe it or not we had hail down here yesterday! Ds was fascinated and had to go out there and touch it and all. Gotta do it while he gets a chance, there is no telling when it will happen the next time....LOL!

I was working on my first order of my 'new business' yesterday and it is dehydrating now. The fact is, I realistically don't have time for any more than the odd orders here or there, but I would love to do this kind of thing when the kids are grown! It would be so much fun!

Rachel, I would love the idea of an internet based business or store, I do so much online myself and love the convenience. If I ever really go for it, I think I would have some kind of online order option.

Well, I have to run, Hi Jo and Mary!
