Morning Laurie! Happy Monday! I mean it sincerely today since I didn't have to go to the office like usual on Mondays. 
We now have a full timer so I don't have to go in as often. Yay!
I did great on exercise this weekend but not great on eating. We had our bowling Christmas party last night and let's just say I didn't have much willpower lol. Right now I'm just trying to maintain through all the holiday events and will hunker down in January (like half the country lol).
Have a great day!

Good morning BBs,
Jill, I wish it was a happy Monday here too! That is good you don't have to work as much now. Hope you can wake up Laurie.
This morning was C&W for me. That is a pretty fun workout and time seems to go quickly. I think I am going to start a walk/jog program tomorrow to get back into running. It's been since July so I will take it slowly. I was talking to a friend this weekend who runs quite a bit and she inspired me.
I am hearing that we are due to get more snow Wed/Thurs...hopefully it all sticks around so we have a white Christmas! Have a good day everyone!

Hi! I've never noticed this thread before. . . .
I'm a Buff Badger and didn't even know it! Nice to see other Wisconsin ladies on here. I live in Oshkosh - a librarian at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh. Hence the ability to surf the internet a LOT.
I did MIS on Saturday after a workout break due to a pregnancy that miscarried (See the FitMoms forum for details if interested) - and I am SO SORE I can barely walk. Eeek! Maybe that break was longer than I had intended.
Nice to meet everyone. - Sarah

RE: Hi! I've never noticed this thread before. . . .
Hi Thea! It doesn't mean I don't have to WORK as much----I just don't have to go work at our office as much. I work from home most of the time, and believe me, I work WAY more than 40 hours a week. More than I used to when I worked at an office every day. It's hard to let work go when it's right at home with you all the time. During tax season I typically work 6 days a week, and some Sundays, and have many days where I am in the office from 7:30am until 11pm or later! HATE tax season! I think it's safe to say we'll have a white Christmas. We haven't had this much December snow in a long time.
Welcome Sarah! Nice to "meet" you. Oh that doms is hard to live with sometimes! Last week I did an old fitprime workout with Tracie Long and had pain so bad for DAYS.......so I know what you mean. My cousin attend UW-Oshkosh

PS_Where is Marie!!??

RE: Hi! I've never noticed this thread before. . . .
Welcome, Sarah! If you live in Wisconsin and do Cathe, you are indeed a Buff Badger!
MIS is one of my all-time favorite full body strength Cathe workouts. Those rear lunges off the step seem to go on forever don't they?
So sorry to hear about your miscarriage.:-( I suffered one myself before my DD was born. She's 10 1/2 now. DS is 8 1/2.
Feel free to stop by and post whenever you want!

Hello, BBs!
Had a great weekend - won a $25 Home Depot gift card at our company Christmas party, did a lot of Christmas shopping, put up our Chistmas tree and other decorations, baked some cookies and watched the Survivor finale. I still can't believe Stephanie didn't win! She was robbed.
Even managed to get some workouts in. Did GS legs on Saturday, GS shoulders and biceps on Sunday, GS back, C&W cardio only and PUB abs this morning.

Hi BBs,
I was just coming over to post since I thought it had been a while and others would be wondering where I was!
Just busy with the holidays coming so doing mostly short workouts in the morning. Just happy if I wake up to do something. Only 2 more weeks and life will be more normal! Can't wait. Even though I love Christmas, I will be glad when this one is over since there is so much other stuff to do with the house on my weekends.
Jill - I just saw that Wis Athletic Club is having a BOSU class and saw a commercial for Motion where people were using them. I think the class at WAC can be taken by non-member but is expensive. But they might have a free class to try it and you can get a free week trial of the club so you might check that out if you would want to at least see what they do with it. THe one I saw was at the Tosa location so not sure if others will have it or not. The West Allis location is going to 24 hours after 1/1.
So I will be with you Jill getting more serious after the first of the year.
Disappointed that Cathe is still not filming. Maybe she will start filming on the 20th so she can still make it under the wire for Fall!
Welcome Sarah - I went to UW Oshkosh but it was long ago. Nice memories of Oshkosh and the University.

Thanks for the welcome, everyone.
I hope to check in here often. I don't know anyone IRL who works out to Cathe, so I love the Cathe forums. Didn't know there was a niche for Wisconsinites! Nice to meet everyone.
I froze my can off yesterday while putting up the outside Christmas lights, it's sure looking like a white Christmas up here for sure. With my hams, glutes and quads aching like a 90 year old, I was glad to have my 4 year old there to crawl under the porch with extension cords. Nothing like a little slave labor! }(

RE: Thanks for the welcome, everyone.
LOL @ slave labor Sarah.
We've been posting a weekday thread here for awhile. We've had two dinner so far; one in August and one last month. It is so fun to meet people IRL that understand the whole workout obsession lol. I missed the last one due to spraining my ankle.
Sue-congrat on the gift card. DARN IT! I literally just YELLED "OH NOOOOOO" I didn't get to watch Survivor yet because I was at bowling last night. I taped the whole 3 hours and will watch tonight. I've been so good at avoiding the news etc.... and didn't think to post a "Please post a spoiler alert if you mention it" on here. DARN !!! I also know Rafe didn't win because I heard a guy on the radio say "It was a battle of the babes". Now since I'm guessing he wouldn't call Lydia a babe, that leaves it down to Steph vs Danni. I SO didn't want Danni to win. I could PUKE if I see that KC hat one more time, and I thought she just looked so grossly skinny. I wanted to yell "burn the hat and eat something" at the tv last week. I figured I wouldn't make it through the day without finding out lol.
Marie - nice to see you! I know what you mean about the busy-ness of the holiday. I am actually looking forward to them being over so I can do something about this stupid weight gain! I REFUSE to buy new (bigger) clothes! I would love to go to a bosu class, but I just can't afford to spend the money on a club (I let my Bally's membership go now finally). I'm still not doing bosu----it's been 4 weeks since I sprained my ankle, but it still feels a little tender at times, believe it or not. Yesterday I twisted it but just slightly. I was so careful the rest of the day!

Thanks for the info
Wow, you've had dinners - that sounds like fun! I'll try to check in here to see what's cookin'! Thanks for the info.
Jill - I had to TiVo "Survivor" last night too. It wasn't on until LATE here because of the Packer game. So it didn't start until 10:30. I stayed up until about 12:30, long enough to see who was in the final 2 and to see the typical jury sour-grape-ing griping. I'm with ya on the Danni hatred. That emaciated babe with the belly button piercing holding her ab muscles together was on my last nerve. I was mostly a Rafe booster. I can't wait to watch the live Reunion show tonight, I've heard that Steph went a little overboard with the makeup kit, and I can't resist a train wreck. :+

OMG be right back......
Well it's all a mute point now! I was afraid that it was on late here, too, Sarah. So I went and checked my tape. I recorded the right time all right, but the wrong channel!!!! Stupid channel 58 is FIVE on cable. I recorded some dumb movie. Waaaaaaaaaaaa

Ohhhh no!
Oh that stinks!! To invest all the time in the season and then to miss the finale - I'm soooo sorry!!! Be sure to check Television Without Pity: http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show.cgi?show=47&sort=&limit= for the hilarious re-cap when they write it. If I miss a show, I check this site and usually laugh my butt off. They usually have the re-cap up within the week. I wish I had it on tape, but I only have it on our TiVo, and frankly I have no clue as to how to get that onto tape. I'm sorry!

Jill - I am soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo (is that enough o's?) sorry to ruin the ending of Survivor for you! What a dufus I can be not realizing that some people might not have watched it. I hope you get to see a tape of it because it was a pretty good episode - or at least better than the rest of the episodes in a rather lackluster season. I have it on DVR not tape so I can't give it to you either. Want to come over and watch? :+
I'm going to shut up now and try to keep that foot out of my mouth. :7

RE: Thanks for the welcome, everyone.
Sue don't be silly! A friend of mine emailed me with all kinds of "can you believe Rafe did this" and "I cant' believe _____ won can you". LOL. I guess there really was no way to avoid finding out. I'm just so mad at myself for taping an old Steve Martin movie on Turner Classic Movies instead of Survivor!! Someone else is going to send me her tape, so I will get to see it. I won't be happy though--I do NOT like the person that won at all!!

I'm not a Dani fan either...don't know why. She doesn't didn't do anything to prove to me she deserved to win the million dollars. LOL on Sarah's comment about her abs being held together by her belly button ring!
Gotta go buy some more Christmas lights!

Hi Everyone,
Welcome Sarah!
Did BC/ME premix. added terminators and speed skaters. Needed some extra cardio today.
Busy with Christmas baking, decorating and kids sports this weekend. It's starting to feel a little like Christmas. Looks like rain today, but none ever falls and only 60 degrees. Looks something like WI in November, everything brown and gloomy!
Marie, I finally start my job on Wednesday. can you believe it took this long. Had a hard time tracking down my immunization records so went to get a shot. I am glad I got all my christmas shopping done. How is your neck?
No workout tomorrow. Have many things going on. In fact I will have to change my workouts til after school or later evening once I start working.
Leave for WI in 2 weeks. I hope we don't run into any storms while flying. I guess I better start digging out my winter gear!x(
Good workouts everyone!
Cynthia

Marie -
I am still holding out hope (maybe naively so) that Cathe will still film in December. She's posted before that rehearsals are usually a couple of weeks before they film and it sounded like they were already in rehearsals or very close. Seems kind of silly to rehearse now and then come back and tape in January. Wouldn't you want to rehearse right before filming so it's fresh in everyone's minds? We'll see soon enough, right? ;-)
