Hi everybody! I've been "offline" this week for the most part since our DSL service is out and I'm having to share dial-up with my two teenagers. (You can guess how much computer time that leaves me in the afternoons and evenings, and my days have been wacko with holiday stuff!) Just wanted to pop in before the boys wake up and take over. 
I got my BB DVD's yesterday afternoon and immediately all my planned errands went right out the window! I spent a very pleasant couple of hours previewing -- and ohmigosh, these DVD's and the workouts themselves just surpass my wildest hopes!!! Everything about them is a whole new level, IMHO. I love the variety, the music, the new exercises and tweaks to old ones, the intensity, all the cool new DVD tools, the cast looks great, CEDIE'S TAN OH MY!!! -- the list could go on and on.
Last night I got quite ambitious and did Kick Punch & Crunch -- what a fantastic workout! This one's going to take me some time -- my form on the combos was pretty laughable (I can't keep up with Cathe's speed and keep anything resembling decent form yet), but I did keep up and finish and felt SO pumped. I am going to really enjoy growing with this video.
Can I tell you guys my absolute (silly but true) favorite thing so far? I LOVE LOVE LOVE that Jurassic Park music that's on the main menu titles page and was the abs music for KP&C. I don't normally stay at the main menu page long enough to even focus on the music, but this time I was lingering and inspecting the page because of all the cool new toys -- and gradually I realized what I was listening to. That music combined with the picture on the main menu -- the awesome close-up of "Cathe the Terminator" in a tough punching pose -- well, the combination just makes you feel ready to rock! Picture this, folks: I am sitting on my step previewing (dressed to workout just in case the urge to sample something hits me), and for three straight minutes I am staring at an UNMOVING SCREEN (the main menu) with this goofy huge grin on my face! (I can only admit this to you guys -- my children, had they seen me, would have thought their mom had lost it completely!)
Is it me being hopelessly square (to use a word that definitely betrays MY age!), or do you guys love this music too?? Something about it is so cool and motivating!
So -- who knows which one I'll try today, but I'm off to do one (or two -- it's so tempting!!!!) and get my "fix" for the day so that I can stay on task and get some Christmas/Hanukkah shopping done this afternoon.
Everybody still waiting for the DVD's -- take heart, 'cause they are SO SO SO worth the wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All our friends up there in the snowy Northeast, please stay warm and safe today!!
