BAD NEWS -- Here I sit on a heating padx( Back is definitely flaring up again -- I don't think it was Low Max, I think it was Clean Max. I must be allergic, haha!
I think I am going to put my scale away for a couple of weeks. I really don't want my holidays to be ruined by the number on the stupid scale.
I am up early, even though no workout for me today. I am sitting on a heating pad right now, then I will try to do some wrapping before my people wake up. It's just me and Collin today, so I think I am going to take him to the mall.
No idea what my menu will be today...
Check back later!!

Katie, SO sorry about your back. Bummer! Has Collin sat on Santa's lap yet?
Well, since its Saturday, I of course have no meal plan yet. I will definetly keep clean. AND drink my water. Today begins "the gauntlet". I'm making the dough for our sugar cookies. Tomorrow we'll roll them out and frost them. Then they'll be around for a few days. DH & I decided to make MOnday C'mas for the girls. THat way he'l be around to enjoy it more for 2 days instead of going to work the next day. On C'mas morning I always make these incredibly awesome homemade cinnamon rolls w/ icing. They usually send me into a bad-carb tailspin so I likely won't be eating them this year. I'm doing so well & I don't want to ruin it. Tuesday afternoon we're having friends from Iowa come for a night. On Friday 2 other friends are coming to spend the night. Company = unclean food. I always fix healthy food too, but amongst our crowd I'm known for making some pretty awesome unclean stuff too.}( Sooooo, lots of things to avoid in the next few days - wish me luck!
Todays workouts will be RS this morning and ME later today. Doubling up to make up for missing one this week.
Gotta go get my water. Have a great morning!

Sounds good, Kste! I always make breakfast casserole for Christmas morning -- calorie laden, but it's got some nutritious stuff in there so I think I'm okay. Cinnamon rolls sound pretty amazing, though... I have a great recipe that I haven't made in a long time.
Yes, Collin sat on Santa's lap a few weeks ago. He really liked him.

Morning ladies
Kate Cinn. Rolls sound so good :9 :9 I usually make blueberry muffins on Christmas morning and that sends me into a tailspin also.LOL
Now that my new oven is in the kitchen and plugged up I'm ready to start cooking again.
Sorry about your back pain Katie, but a good walk around the mall, listening to Christmas music will lift your spirits.
My w/o this week has been terrible because I had trouble sleeping this past few days, but last night I stayed up late (10:00 :+ ) and I was able to sleep until 5. I feel great! I guess it is the stress of all the holiday and home repairs that I've been doing.
Today the handyman is coming to fix the outside gutters (sp?)I hope they come and finish the job quickly. I want to walk around the mall and drink hot chocolate.
Tomorrow I HAVE to shop for food, I don't have many clean items in my kitchen, not even chicken breast.
:-(
Christmas eve we will be making cookies, after we come from the city.
I plan to workout Sun, Mon, Wed, Thrus and Sat. Then for the new year start my gym style/ slo-mo rotation
Menu:??? but I will drink plenty of water
My workout today was Amy's Step2 premix number 4.

Good Morning!
I have houseguests so I haven't worked out yet. My husband shocked me by making a somewhat healthy breakfast strata but he said the gluten free bread was just terrible. Hopefully the strata tastes good. I have to run to the mall to get a hostess gift for my aunt and then back here to finish wrapping. My DH is going to drop SIL and DF at in-laws.
Katie - sorry about your back. Hopefully a walk around the mall will make it feel better.
Kate - cinnamon rolls sounds so good. I love that you are doing Cmas on Cmas Eve. I think everyone will enjoy it more.
Robin - glad you finally got some much needed sleep. Have fun cooking cookies with your stove.

Robin - I just wanted to say you are pretty much absolutely amazing raising those kids on your own. I don't know how you do it! I bet you are all super close. Have tons of fun this weekend. 2 weeks off for the kids?
Colleen - Sorry about the bread! What if you toast it and put butter on it? With cinnamon & sugar?! :9 :9 :9 We were dirt poor when we were little and this was our absolute treat!:9 Now my girls love it too! They eat it on 9-grain bread, but I can't break DH away from the white stuff!
I had wheat chex & a banana for b'fast. Just finished ME. I wanted to do my cardio in the morning but didn't want to RS on a full tummy. I'll get it in later.
Off to drink more water and have some fruit. One of our employees got us this HUGE fruit basket! So nice it wasn't a big box of chocolate! SIL gave us tons of cookies and a whole chocolate/mint pie last night. grrrrrr....}( Will power is high though!

Steph - HAVE FUN at dinner tonight! It's so nice to see long-distance friends! I bet you're tired after that awesomw workout. I want DH to do BC w/ me next time it's on my rotation. Enjoy your chocolate! Confession: I had a bite of the cookie dough, but only one and now its put away until we roll it out tomorrow. No promises then! P.S. How was your oatmeal?!
I'm headed down for RS. Isabel's asleep and Gina is reading w/ DH! An uninterrupted hour for me???! I'll let you know....

YES!!!! I got to do all of RS w/ no interruptions! Early C'mas for me!
Well, I got DH's tool chest today. At noon. At Sears. With DDs. Stupid, stupid woman I am. It took FOREVER! You would think that they would have it computerized whether or not they have something in stock. Oh no! He had to go in the back. Then he realized he copied down the wrong # AFTER I PAID! So it had to be voided and the whole process started all over! I was nice thru it because I see it as my own stupid fault that I went the Saturday before C'mas, but Sheesh! DDs were definetly antsy. I am hiding the chest in one of his dad's barns. On Monday we'll play "hot and cold" to find it! I can't wait!
Should have a nice, clean day the rest of the day. I love getting to workout 2x in a day.
Have a great afternoon!

I did AWESOME all day...until we had choc. pie for dessert. I didn't have too much, but I wasn't thinking about what I was eating until I wolfed down the whole slice in record time! I even made cookies and didn't eat a bite, but that slice of pie was gone in a flash! Bummer. Well, it was my weekend splurge I guess. Portion wasn't bad. Learning experience. I'll keep active tonight and hopefully it won't sit in my belly too long!
How did YOU do today?

Kate,
You've had a crazy busy day, and you're doing another workout? I bow down, really, that is fantastic.
oatmeal was so good by the way...so were the malt balls, and carob covered raisins, and soy ice cream...and a few baked chips...
and now i'm going out to dinner! Can someone take me on that show Intervention please, and get this crap out of my house

Kate, I think with two workouts in one day, you are allowed at least one piece of pie! BTW, thanks for your kind words on my OD thread...
