Hey girls, did my thing at the gym this morning. I'm glad I won't be able to go tomorrow because the girls will be home. I need a day away from that place. Spending almost 2 hours there at a time is too much. Later I will do core max 2.
Just got home, showered, ate some lunch, and now have to get dressed and go pick up the girls at school. This afternoon I need to start packing/laundry/etc. I hate preparing for travel and always do it last minute but Ryan doesn't really appreciate that so I'm trying to get ahead of the game this time to appease him.
A couple of you asked about my gift for him... I made a slideshow.
'Nuff said...
Sorry I haven't been getting personals in. I promise after lunch I'll come in and catch up.
OH!! My scale was down lower than ever this morning! SO happy. I've officially met my "realistic" goal for our cruise. I'm 2 lbs away from my "would be awesome" weight. My countdown clock says 12 days. Not sure it's going to happen with Christmas and travel thrown in there but I'll be glad just to keep it where it is! Thanks for all your support!
OK, off to pick up girls... bbl.

Good Morning !
Angie- congrats on the weight !!!!!! It's no wonder, with the workouts you've been doing ! You make me tired just reading your posts !
Yesterday I got everything that had to be mailed wrapped & boxed up and sent off ! Yay ! I feel like Christmas is coming at full speed and I am dragging my feet !!!!!!!!
I was looking high and low forever yesterday for my fabric scissors and never found them. I was planning to make a fleece blanket. BUT , no scissors, no blanket ! In the process of looking though, I found a bag of my knitting stuff and I ended up making a scarf !!!!!!!!
Just found I had some cool lookin' yarn & I mixed two colors, totally different textures together and I like the way it turned out.
Today I'm starting on Jackson's cake and also getting cards sent out !
Haven't even looked at the rotation yet, but I need cardio !!! Will do step or bike.
bbl !

Morning ladies - short on time, so I've gotta make this quick...
First of all, THANK YOU all for your love and support yesterday. I am just in a bit of a funk, which sucks, and sucks even worse when it's Christmas. Luckily I have Collin so I to an extent I have to "fake it" for him and get excited even if I don't feel excited.
So Collin's head cold turned into an ear infection - I spent yesterday running back and forth from work to preschool to the doctor but we finally have meds and the pain is better, fever is down, and he only puked a little (while decorating the Christmas tree, conveniently enough!). He should be fine to go to school today.
My cold seems to be better - I slept a bit better, and I am going to try 4ds chest & back this morning.
I'll be back when I can!

Angie, NICE on the slideshow! Ryan is a lucky man! A dirty mind is a terrible thing to waste!
You are doing awesome on the wo's - your scale HAS TO cooperate! ^^^^5
Becky, Busy days for you! Have fun cardio'ing - whatever you pick!
Katie, So sorry for what you're going thru....let yourself be in a funk for a bit and pick a day/time it will end and fake it til you make it.
Enjoy your WO!!!!!
PS - We still need the photo pw. clean&tidy didn't work for any of us
-
no plans for us today so maybe groceries and house cleaning. woo hoo, huh?!?! I'm actually looking forward to it. I think I should've been a 1950's housewife!
Eats were stellar all day yday - I even turned down some cookies @ k'garten.
WO tonight will be STS weights
oh and Gina.....Dr drew blood for allergy testing, which she did GREAT! Poor kid's NEVER had a needle stuck in her. SHe made THE FUNNIEST FLINCH ever - looked absolutley horrified - when the stuck the needle in but she did aweomse. And we have to go to the hosp for a 2-hr breathing test - waiting to hear when that is scheduled for.
gotta run!

good morning everyone!
kate, what did i miss? what is up with gina? why the breathing test? great job yday. i am jealous about your speedy return to health.
hi angie, what a creative gal you are and congrats on the weight loss!
katie, ikwym about having to fake it with the kiddos. that is what gets me thru for sure.
hi becky. is your cake from scratch or box?
i am feeling much better, but i am not sure my tummy is 100%. i am going to try to go running later, and that will be my test - wish me luck. eats were great yday, except for a little dark choc. but it was really just a little. also, i have a new plan for nuts, which has worked great the last 4 days, fingers crossed - none after 12 pm! afternoon is my pick time, and eliminating nuts helps so much. in the am i can eat them, but i have more moderation/control
breakfast time for kids. bbl

Kate, I didn't know about your daughters breathing problems either ! Ugh, I guess I haven't been reading personals everyday.......so sorry ! I hope everything turns out okay and she is feeling much better very soon !!!
Nina, I'll make a scratch cake....am making Elmo for his 1st birthday. Want to make it early and freeze it so it's easier to decorate.
I did HIS/LIS cardio. Might add in yoga later if my day allows.
Busy days, huh ???

Hey all, girls are back at school. Santa is coming this afternoon. We've never taken our girls to see Santa in the past (the mall thing is not appealing to me) and they have never asked. This year they've seen him at Disneyland, Ryan's work, and now at school. Geesh.
Becky, thanks for the weight loss congrats. To be honest, with all the work I've been putting in, I'd be pretty upset if I wasn't losing weight! Way to be creative with the scarf. Sadly, I have zero artistic talent whatsoever. Great job with your WO!
Katie, hope your day is better than yesterday. I hear you on the pretending thing. Some days are just like that but I find the more I try to be joyful, thankful, happy, etc. the more I actually am. Hang in there!
Kate, WTG resisting the cookie and keeping up with clean eats! And YAY for Gina. Glad it was no big deal.
Nina, you nuts plan sounds like a good one. Sorry you're still not totally 100%. It's so frustrating when you just want to be back to "normal" - I know. I've had my fair share of illnesses this year!
OK, off to start packing after my afternoon snack. Lately it's been ww bread, pb, and a tiny spread of nutella. It's a nice way to get my sweet tooth appeased!

Hi Everyone!
Internet is finally back up. It was Verizon's fault. Last night I skipped happy hour to do my kettlebells which ended up working out better because we found out last night SIL is in the hospital. She was having problems with her calf and they did a CAT scan and found a blood clot there and in her lungs. She is in the hospital and we are hoping the dr.'s will let her fly up next week for Cmas.
This morning I did Max Interval Plyo and I am sore. I don't want to walk anywhere because I am so sore. It was good to pull out an insanity workout. I was planning kettlebells for tomorrow but my body may need to rest.
Kate, resist the cookies! Sorry to hear about G's problem but I am glad she handled the needle like a trooper.
Katie, I am not really in the Cmas spirit either. Usually it just suddenly hits me and then I am fine.
Nina, sorry about the tummy troubles. Good plan with the nuts. I find myself reaching for them too often.
Wendy, good luck with the adjustment period with DH's schedule.
Angie, ^5 on the weight loss. Good luck packing today.
Becky, great workout! Good luck with the cake. I am sure he will love Elmo!

Hey girlies!
Ended up going out to breakfast this morning and then did some shopping for teachers, etc. The girls have their parties tomorrow and Thursday. Started doing some online shopping, but I started to get panicky and stopped to go workout instead. I just got done with GS Chest/Back and 3 sets of pull ups. I am fried! Didn't work out last night-got a mad case of indigestion So it was a good make up although I'm having a hard time typing!
Angie, those hardcore workouts are paying off big time! You're gonna look fab on your cruise! Nice gift!
Becky, is the scarf for you? You're way ahead of me-I've bought 3 gifts! I'm gonna be crazy busy this weekend!
Katie, sorry about Collin I know how you're feeling-I think we've all been there. Did you get your workout in?
Kate, hugs to Gina! Danica has gone through all those tests-lots of pokes. Flu shots are a breeze for her now I can see you as June Cleaver My girls need NO toys either-shopping this year is hard! Hope Mike feels better!
Nina, did you run? Good plan on the snacking! My eats have been blah-too many baked goods!
Wendy, hope the well check goes well!
Colleen, hope your SIL is ok! How'd she get sick?

Klaudia, I'm going to start my shopping tonight. I am so far behind!
Kate, sorry that M is sick, that's no fun.
Colleen, I know what you mean about not wanting to walk anywhere. I'm going to be in that boat soon too.
Wendy, that schedule sounds rough. I'm a routine kinda gal--I don't like disruptions.
Angie, did your girls enjoy seeing Santa? Great job on the weight loss!
Becky, that scarf sounds lovely. I make dishclothes and that's about it.
Katie, feel better soon, sweetie. My motto is like Kate's, fake it until you make it.
Nina, how are things with you today?
Hi Lisa!
I think I got everybody. See you tomorrow!

i am doing a lot of faking today too
anne, do you prefer online shopping or stores?
klaudia, wtg with the wo! that is great. maybe you can use the shopping as some self time this weekend. baked goods sound soooo good to me right now, but i have zero energy to make any.
colleen, great job with the wo. that is on tap for me sometime this week, as i get stronger.
wendy, what a tough schedule. how often does it change?
kate, hope mike recovers as quick!
i got a long run in but then had no energy for anything else. part of it is i am not really eating much. it just all makes me feel sick (though baked processed bad stuff sounds good, lol). anyways, all i wan t is to go to bed, and then to hopefully get up early tomorrow to run on my tm. i may need to do some weights to get thru it. i have no motivation. even my kids are lacking motivation! i invited the wife of one of the guys away with my dh to come over for dinner tomorrow with her 2 kids. i was trying to be nice, but i don't even want to be around anyone. how pathetic! okay, see you all in the am
