6 month alumni-week of Nov 15

Oh I forgot...I was wondering what shock cardio are you most looking forward to? Right now it is MMA for me. I do not know if it because it is the last one and the most secretive or if it is because I just love the kickboxing...Oh we are so close to having them in our hot little hands. Is anyone getting a bag for the bonus bag workout?

Goodness, it sure sounds like week one of the November rotation was a hard one!! All three of you need a good rest day this weekend! I think I'm glad to be doing Insanity, it sounds easier;)

I've kept busy over the last couple of days off, would you believe that I have the Christmas tree up with gifts bought (and wrapped) underneath.:p It was much more fun doing that then doing housework on my two days off. Last night we had a family pizza and movie night to celebrate 2 great report cards! DS is in Grade 7 and got a 88% average (Honour roll). :DDD also did great but grade school reports cards don't give many specifics:rolleyes:

Today and tomorrow is the last 2 workouts of the first Insanity cycle!. Really you use the same 3 cardios, one recovery and one ab dvd and I'm tired of them!! But on the other hand, I previewed the next 3 and they are scary looking!:(

Okay, the Insanity plan is this

4 weeks with the first 3 cardio dvds
1 week off where you use a SAME recovery dvd every day!
4 weeks with 3 new harder dvds (same ab workout different recovery workouts)

So tomorrow I'm finished the first 4 weeks, then I have one week at home then gone on holidays for 9 days. Seems silly to do a recovery week then go on holidays:rolleyes: So I guess I'll go on and do the first week of month 2? Then maybe I'll do the cardio recovery the first day or two back just to ease into it?? What do you all think. My body sure would like that recovery week though.

Cendrien Hope everyone is feeling better in your house! Does dd have the same thing your ds had? Hope you were able to get a good night's sleep last night.

Gayle Wow, that's a nice holiday! Are the kids off too? Are plans for the holiday?? I haven't done BM2 for awhile but it's always such an accomplishment to complete! Glad that you're joining us again for STS.

Rachael Enjoy Imax today and then really enjoy your rest day tomorrow!! I need to book a hair day for next Friday as I need to look good for Mickey!
I'm not sure which workout I'm most excited about probably the MMA and the dancy one (like RS) I forget the name. I'm just excited to be doing Cathe workouts again.

Jo The covers look great! It makes it seem to close to completion! The last couple of years I did most of my Christmas shopping while on the bus trip to Minneapolis so then I just leave the shopping in the suitcase when I come home. It does work well, the kids have never thought to look there, LOL.

Hi Guys,

Well, like planned I did do the interval run/walk and tack on ME upper body and abs. I'm glad for tomorrow off!

Rachel, the persimmon cookies use pureed persimmons and lots of spices, it will probably kind of turn out like an all spice tasting kind of cookie. I'll write down the recipe if you're interested.
We got Food Inc. yesterday and watched it. Nothing really new for me since I have already looked into it a lot, but it just angers me anew to see the politics involved and what big, nasty bullies there are and how nobody seems to want to do anything about them! So have you switched to Organics yet? :)
I'm heading out to whole foods right now and after watching the movie I feel extra good for going there! LOL!
As far as the shirts go, maybe you can google it and see what you come up with. If you find anything interesting let us know!

Kim, I think I would probably take at least a few days of recovery before diving into the next 4 weeks, but that is just because I feel so darn tired right now. If you have the engergy, go for it! I don't think I could do the same recovery dvd for the whole week... You gonna do some walking or something too?
dd does seem to have what ds had, she's doing ok, but she started coughing today. No fever any more, fortunately!

Well, gotta go do my errands! Have a good weekend you all!
 
Cendrine I think I will just skip the whole recovery since I'm getting the 9 Disney days off. Maybe I'll do the recovery dvd the first day back to ease into things. I would find do the same dvd for 6 days in a row too much!
 
Hi Everyone!

Lazy day here today...I'm in the middle of doing laundry and not much else productive. We just decided for sure we're staying home for Thanksgiving so now I have to figure out what I'm going to make. I'm kind of working on that right now. I'll get together with my mom the weekend after Thanksgiving.

Anyway, I did just finish previewing Pure Strength (since it's been a while!) and I'm all charged up about doing that this week. I haven't done these workouts in probably 5 years! Since this was Cathe's first weight series, I used to do it over and over and over along with Step Jam and Power Max and Mega Step Blast! LOL!

DH made some turkey chili today and I'm feeling so lazy I may take a nap! Hope you're all enjoying your weekend!
 
Can you say Tryptophan <---spelling:eek:
Jo are you in a turkey coma?
It has been a hectic day here. Town is really getting bad! I think I am going to regret that procrastination of the Christmas shopping thing! I tried to get my grocery shopping done but my list was made too fast and it was not very organized and I did not want to end up forgetting something or worse buying way too much of something so I came home and regrouped and now I think I have a better list to go by. I felt just a little unorganized today...it must have been the hair dye:D:rolleyes:

Tomorrow is my rest day but I will spend it going to the grocery store and trying to make up some things like my cornbread fro the dressing (southern style) and what ever else I can get a jump on. I will be making your sweet potatoes for Thanksgiving, Cendrine so I will let you know how they turn out! We will be having the same thing on the same day! Yum
I am not going too overboard because I do not want a lot of leftovers and there will just be 3 of us that I know of. I am going to have to do a little googling of a pumpkin dessert. I am not feeling the pie but do want something with pumpkin.

OK I am off to bed! See you tomorrow!
