Today should be cardio -- but I overslept, and I have this crud in my head/throat/chest so we will see what I am able to accomplish. Everyone else in my house has gotten "the crud" so I guess it's my turn.
My weekend was SO productive! My house is VERY clean, will just need touch ups on Wed/Thur, all the food is purchased, I even got some xmas shopping done this weekend, and Chris and I even managed to do some painting!
Wish me luck!!

Katie,, ^5 on a good weekend! We had one too. What did you guys paint? Hope you have a good workout!
I am so tired. I was up til 1030 with Julia, up to feed her at 3:30. Then I couldn't get back to sleep. Isabel came in our bed at 5. I was feeling so frustrated and ready to cry and the little sweetheart gave me a big hug and siad "You're the best mommy ever. There's no mommy better than you." awwww... So now I want to cry some more! I really hope this day is a good one!
b - kashi, apple slices
s - clementines
l - ???
s - ???
d - steak and potatoes, salad
Laura is home from Grand Valley SU so she's coming over this AM to help with driving Isabel to'from preschool. that's a huge help for me!
Not sure on WO. Maybe a rest day if the day is a bad one, maybe cardio, maybe weights! I'll get back to ya on that!
Better go wake up Gina....have a good morning!
Angie, anything special planned for your last week in the states?

Oh Kate, you are a wonderful mommy!! Sorry about the sleepless night -- I kinda had one too (bad dreams, not kids) hence my oversleeping. Try to rest some today.
So I decided against working out -- I would have only had about 20 minutes, and then Chris told me he forgot to hang my sports bras to dry last night. I am NOT working out in a COLD, WET sports bra!! I'll do a segment of core max tonight so I feel like I accomplished something.
Have a great day all!!

Morning ladies,
Kate, sleepless nights are so hard! It is helpful when they're so sweet though. Sometimes you just can't help but love on them! I hope you don't have a bad day and can get some rest. I don't have any huge plans for the week. Just a couple of thanksgiving gatherings and such.
Katie, sorry you had a long night too. Bad dreams are the worst. I don't blame you for not working out! Good luck with core max tonight. I bet it feels nice to have your whole house clean. It sounds funny but I can't wait to have a house to clean again.
We have a light dusting of snow on the ground this morning. The girls were so excited.
This morning I'm going to go to a class called strike. It's like cardio kickboxing with weighted gloves/sticks etc. It is described as NOT your typical kickboxing class. I'll let you know how it goes.
Hi Robin, Anne, Morris, Klaudia!!
Have a great day!

Morning all.
Sorry about your spirits being down Kate. You know that it's hormonal and it will pass.
Angie the strike sounds like fun.
Katie during the holidays it's hard to w/o because nothing seems normal.
Today I have to cook for my church predinner for the homeless. I was planning to make peas and rice but then they called me and ask "so what else can you make". GUILT
So I have to come up with something else that will fit in a roasting pan.
I'm going to do a short k-bell w/o so that I can think
What else can I make for church??

Katie, Your post reminded me of the feeling inthe summer of putting on a cold wet bathing suit - BRRRRR! Enjoy coremax tonight! Maybe I'll join you!
Angie, I'm so jealous of your super-cool classes you get to take! Have fun!!! While I love our Cathe, a live class is awesome!
Robin, ugh, guilt. Let me think about what you could make that won't break the bank! Maybe just another dish of peas and rice!
Gina's off to school, waiting for Laura to get here to take Isabel to school.
I had my breakfast and am feeling cheerier. Thanks for the vibes!
Don't forget to drink your water, ladies!!!

Morning, everybody! I had a great weekend in terms of fun, but not so great in terms of working out and clean eating. Oh, well, I can always start again this week, right? The fun was getting together with a friend from college I haven't seen in about 12 years. We had a blast.
Katie, sorry about the bad dreams. You made the right decision to stay in bed this morning!
Angie, your class does sound fun, let us know how it goes.
Robin, what about roasted green beans? I saw them made on America's Test Kitchen this weekend. You can get the recipe from their web site, but you have to register.
Kate, Isabel sounds adorable! I hope you get some rest today.
Hi to Klaudia and Morris! Have a great day, everyone, I need to work my tail off today.

Decided to stay home. I'm getting sick. The girls have runny noses. Plus, the snow on the ground is a lot prettier when I don't drive in it.

Good choice, Angie. I hope you feel better soon!
I just caught up on the weekend thread--you folks were busy!
Kate, I haven't tried the salsa at Horrock's, but I'll get some the next time I'm there. I live really close to the west side El Az, so I usually have some of their salsa in the house. I also have some awesome cherry salsa I got at the Cherry Republic when I was on vacation last month (http://www.cherryrepublic.com/). Their stuff is fantastic! If you need a gift for someone who used to live in Michigan or who loves cherries, try there. They do great gift baskets and stuff.
Okay, I *really* have to get to work now. Or eat breakfast. Maybe I'll eat breakfast.
And, I forgot to say hi to Colleen. Sorry about that!

Hi all!
Spent the whole weekend recovering from Friday night-lots of tea. Didn't do my workouts Hopefully I can get back on track. Today I'm going to do GS Chest and abs. Eats were not the best. Not a lot, just not good stuff.
Katie, I had the crud, too. I hope you feel better. Sounds like your Thanksgiving will be a hit
Kate, enjoy the day with your sister. And you're a fantastic mom! Your dedication to your girls is evident in every post
Angie, I'm with you on staying in. I'd planned on going to Target, but it started raining and it's supposed to change into snow, so I decided to do laundry and clean the bathrooms. Not nearly as fun
Anne, I'm starting over again after the weekend, too. No worries!
Robin, I'm jealous that you can still walk outside. Not here-cold and rainy-yuck.
Colleen, can you plan my meals?
Hi Morris!
b-kashi and an orange
s-aplpe, string cheese
l-leftover shredded salsa chicken

ooh, we're so busy on the board this weekend and today!
Steph wrote back. She said her divorce was final Friday and sounds like she's having a hard time. I sent her a hug from all of us!
anne, I haven't been to ElAz in years. Glad you had a fun weekend. Tap class this week? good luck with the eats today!
Colleen, Hope you have a productive catch-up day! I have been itching to make some pumpkin bread! So good! I have a recipe for pumpkin cinnamon rolls but I'm trying hard to NOT make them!
Angie, It would be so cute to see your girls' reaction to the snow! I love snow days where we can't go anywhere. If its gonna be winter, snow me in!!
Klaudia, oh my word! I'm having the same lunch asyou! I took it out of the freezer this morning! LOL!
Any other job prospects?
Sorry for the no workout weekend. Today will be great!
and thanks for the mommy encouragement!
Got my WO done!! I did about 50 min. of KPC. I like this one better than KM I think. My HR seemed higher. My shoulder was bothering me tho. Maybe I've been doing too much KB too vigorously??? I've done it 3x in the last week. I prefer step, but its so easy to pop in a KB dvd and not go downstairs to the step... Going to hit weights hard this week....working the shoulder more towards the end of the week. And I really need a good Classical Stretch session!
Katie, do you still have your cleaning lady?

Okay, almost time to go home. No tap for me tonight--a colleague of DH passed away today and he wants me home. He's really bothered by it, most likely because it comes so closely on the heels of his father's death. So, I will do my best to comfort him. Plus, it snowed today and our neighbor's are out of town, so we have to shovel two houses! Luckily we have two new snow shovels that we bought a couple weeks ago.
I hope everyone has a great evening. Talk to you in the am!

Hey ladies!
I got my workout done-woo hoo! Eats are good. I may even sneak away to Target for a bit when Darrin gets home. Danica has Nutcracker rehearsals all week til 8:30 so I have to go out anyway-why not shop I say?
Kate, I love salsa chicken-it was even better today. As for jobs, nothing. I'm thinking I might be putting work off til Nevena's in school then go and substitute teach so I'll be on their schedule. I keep contemplating getting certified as a trainer and teaching a few classes. It's so intimidating, though.
Morris, I feel better today, thanks!
Anne, sorry about DH's colleague. Funny, we didn't get any snow today-yet anyway!
