Good afternoon to all of you!
Today was a busy day. We ended up skipping classes. Ellie was a wreck - crying about anything and everything. So we stayed home, made banana bread, played yahtzee, read books. Anna had a birthday party this afternoon and I worked out again while she was there and Ellie watched Twice Upon a Christmas. I did Step Fit which a few of you asked about. It's on Cathe's Cardio Hits. It's a decent workout. The combos are actually quite fun once they are built up but it's pretty repetitive. Then she does this like 8 min cool down to the macarena. Pretty funny. Nice for a change though.
Katie, you sound really positive and good today. WTG on the eats and keep up the good work! Family pictures, I agree, should be solid colors. Are you doing indoor? Have fun at the wellness center tonight. Great WO this morning too!
Becky, sorry your vacation is ending. There is nothing worse! I'm glad you had a good time though. And vacations are not meant to have "real" workouts!
Nina, do you ever wake up and think, "I want to run this morning, really I do!!!" I pretty much always want to stay in bed but know better!

Sorry about fd with your mom. Hope it all went well. I hear you on freezing time! Ellie was running around butt naked tonight and I found myself staring at her cute little rear wondering how much longer she'll be doing that shamelessly. It's just so cute!
Wendy, our culture sabotages us with the food choices doesn't it? I'm learning that as long as I'm
consistently making good choices, a splurge here and there doesn't hurt too bad. I just regret it when I overeat. I'm also jealous of your classes. I would LOVE to belong to a gym. Step class is so much fun when you see everyone doing it - especially multi step!
Klaudia, sorry about the Spartans. I'm ashamed to say I'm not even following college bball this year. It's just not as fun if you can't watch it. Fun times with the vaccination!

You're doing great with your WOs... plus, you're in better shape than me. It's all relative!
Robin, bummer about your kids and their Wii! How annoying. Teenagers!

I think you're right, gift cards are a good idea. It's fun to watch your WOs on FB!
Colleen, sorry about the bad night of sleep. I hate bad dreams. They just ruin my day! I am so excited for you that you're almost done with your job though! That's so awesome!
Kate, glad your knee is getting better. I would be so lost without step. I was realizing today that I don't have many low impact options and with my calves bothering me it's really obvious. I was wishing I had an elliptical this morning! So how long are you going to be at disney? I'm so jealous! I think a body bug would be cool too... I'm afraid of obsessing though!
So, my calves are weird. It's not in the back, it's on the side (inner calf) and it really only hurts during jumping jacks or side lunges off the step, otherwise it's ok. But kb and hi/lo things are pretty much out of the question.
OK, gonna watch biggest loser with Ry.
Night night.
