Buff Badgers Wed 12/21

Morning BB's,

Today will be Cardio Kicks.

I am so looking forward to tomorrow! I'm taking off early from work to get some wrapping done. My DD's are spending the night at my DH's brothers. DH is working that night, so I have an evening all to myself. }( Is it wrong of me to want some peace and quite for one evening? This is my down time before I take the 5-1/2 hour ride up to the great north woods to see my parents.

Jill, how was the lunch? Did you get your fill of onion strings?

Ellen, are you all done with the exams? Is it time to R&R for you?

I too have been looking every day to see if Cathe is going to announce that they are ready to make the DVD's. She has until 12:35pm CST. Winter officially starts at that time. Just Kidding!!!!

Have a great day,

Laurie

Morning BBs,

Laurie--you are definitely NOT wrong to want some peace and quiet! Who doesn't these days!? I am also eagerly awaiting Cathe to make some kind of annoucement on the new workouts. She hasn't been on in a while...could it be she has been working on them? We can dream!

This morning was C&W. It was so hard to drag my butt out of bed and I just felt tired when I started the workout. Ended up ok though.

Looks to be busy here at work today...grrr, I will be glad to have a few days off soon! Have a good day everyone.

Good morning,

Is it really only Wednesday? This week has been dragging. I'm too excited about the weekend, when my brother will come home from Florida and my vacation starts.

Yes! I'm finally finished with my exams. Last night was my algebra test... I need to email my teacher to find out how I did. I *think* I did okay... hopefully I pulled off an A in that class.

I'm also impatient about the new workouts. I asked for some yoga DVDs for Christmas to tide me over, and I'm going to join a gym soon so I can start running and maybe try spinning, which I've always been curious about.

Laurie, enjoy your peace and quiet! You deserve it.

Forgot to mention my workout plans I slept in today, so I'm thinking that I'll do Kick Max tonight and maybe add on the floor work from Legs and Glutes or GS Legs. And maybe some stretching.

Take care,

Ellen

Hi BBs,
Only a few days to go til the craziness! And Cathe only has about an hour(ET) to start filming before fall is gone!!!

Laurie - No you are not wrong to want an evening of peace and quiet! Enjoy ever second of it! I won't be having any of that for a few more days but so anxiously awaiting the moment with no guests or a long list of things to do to be ready for them.

Ellen - hope you got your A! When I took College Algebra I was thrilled with a C in the class. It had been so long since high school algebra which was not my best subject so I was just happy to pass the class and be done with it. I am also thinking of joining a gym to supplement home workouts with some spinning classes. I have taken spin classes and not my favorite but good calorie burners and a good class to work at your level.

Thea - good job pulling yourself out of bed this morning. I didn't!

Well, Cathe has 16 minutes now to start taping before it's officially winter! We can only dream. . .

Laurie - I'm lucky that DH takes the kids and gives me some "alone time" usually once a week or so. I love it! I pay him back, too, every once in awhile.

Ellen - Enjoy your break now that classes are over for a few weeks.

Marie - DH goes spinning all the time and I've been a few times but not for awhile. The thing I hate is the saddle soreness you get the first few times.

Did Step Fit this morning. This is one of my favorite step workouts and used to do it all the time.

Have a good day everyone!

Hi Everyone

Late check-in for me. I was off this morning. It's AMAZING how fast time flies between the time I drop Henry off at preschool and the time I have to pick him up! ZOOM! The time just flies. I got some wrapping done, replaced some burned out Christmas lights, and that was about it. When I picked my son up at preschool I learned that we were the new custodians of the class hermit crab (Mishell) for the holiday break. Whoopee!

No work-out yesterday, and likely none today. I have baking to do, toys to put together etc. I put together this ridiculous Hot Wheels Gorilla toy last night and about pulled my hair out. DH had to leave the room because of my cussing! LOL.

Ellen - Wow, an A in Algebra? That's awesome! All math pretty much gives me a rash.

Laurie - If wanting time to yourself is wrong, I don't wanna be right! Much as I love the fam, I never mind a little "me" time.

Have a good day, y'all. - Sarah

RE: Hi Everyone

Hi guys! Sorry for the late checkin. Busy morning!

Laurie-lunch was excellent, as expected. And yes, I had the onion straws AND banana cream pie! So yummy! Didn't eat the rest of the day though-I was so full! And enjoy the quiet night! I have one tonight and am really looking forward to it!

Hi thea!

Ellen the week feels long to me, too. Probably cuz I know I have some days off coming up!

Hi there Marie and Sue and Sarah!

I had such fun today! My friend and I are going to Florida on vacation for a week in May. We both want to lose weight but have had trouble. So we are going to exercise together! She came over today and we did Basic Step with no room problems! Yay!! She loves step but has not done it for about 3 years, so we started easy. Then we watched some of Cathe's other step workouts and she's in love! I finally have a close friend in RL that wants to exercise and likes Cathe. yay! We are going to workout together 3-4 times per week, depending on her kid schedule (she has a 2 y/o).

I'm so happy to have someone to share this with; it's so much easier to stay on track when someone else is counting on you to be there.

Jill--What a great idea to your friend! And, a trip to FL is a great motivator! I often wish I had a exercise buddy right nearby to keep me going! But, I will rely on all of you, BBs!

Hi Everyone!

Plan to do Cardio Kicks with BC lowerbody premix. Like I said it's a plan, but lately my exercise plans haven't been put into action. I am adjusting to working, Christmas stuff, basketball practice, homework, cooking, and cleaning. I like my job , but it's hard not having my own time lately (especially this week). I have a short lunch, so it's hard to run errands. Thankfully the mall, Target and Kohls Dept. store are across the street.

It sounds like most of you are dealing with the same things, so I'll quit my whining.

It's so beautiful this week. 75 today. In a week I'll be back to the cold in WI. It looks like it warmed up a little though. I just pray for no snow storms next Tuesday. We get in real late and I hope we aren't delayed.

Take Care Everyone!!

Cynthia-75! What a dream!! Yes, It will be "warm" here by the weekend-a whopping 35 or so. Woo hoo!

And yes, Thea, I am very happy and thankful to have a friend nearby (2 blocks away) that will keep me on track and accountable!
