Hello
Well I am so behind I'll probably miss some stuff. Sorry
Belinda: Congrats on being with DH for so long. I've got 10 years coming up soon. I looked up Bramberg and it is absolutely lovely. I remember visiting a lot of lovely places in Germany. When the kids are older, I'll have to take the family there. Sorry about the gym situation too the other day, but way to go on not letting them step on your toes. That was just inconsiderate of them.
Lori: So, what are you up to? I can't remember what you're up to with all the parties you have planned. I love the ugly sweater one. I had never heard of such but it's great! I hope you have lots of fun at all the event. I need a new pair of tennis shoes as well! Too bad I'll have to just browse the net for a good pair that isn't too expensive. Are DD and DS excited about Xmas?
Deb: You are busy too I see. Unbelievable about the lady having a heart attack. Was she in good shape average or poor? Well, I hope that all of us are taking the right steps to protect our health. We certainly seem to be on the right path, and that is the best present.
Cookie: I didn't know you lived by the VT border. No wonder you have deer all over the place. They're bad enough here. I have seen in my backyard: deer, rabbits, snakes, turtles, foxes and turkeys that are so brazen they were pecking at the sliding glass window (somebody somewhere must have been giving them food for them to behave that way!). And I'm in the burbs! Sorry about your furnace. I'm worried about the hot water heater. Those things don't last. We had someone look at it and he said it looked fine. But these things can go and still do some damage.
Iris: I am so happy to read that your mom is back home. I hope she is feeling all right. It certainly is quite a year for you. No wonder you're hungover. My stress is so puny compared to yours, but I still reached for the wine first thing when I got home yesterday. I really do wish you the best for the rest of December. Can we meet in the new year?
Amelia: Well, I'll blame it on TTOM but the crankiness has been rising this week. It's a combination of that and work. Man that can get tiring some times. Eating is not so good. Likely the weigh in won't be so good tomorrow, but I have a plan (I always have a plan don't you know

?)
Trish: Nice to read your posts again. It is so exciting to have this vacation coming up. I have FL in a couple of weeks and the Bahamas at the end of January (we managed to trade in our timeshare for Atlantis Woohoo!). I also have to be in good enough shape that the bathing suits fit well......more work there....
Well there we go, it's snowing outside. Did nothing yesterday.

Tough time of the year indeed. This Morning did 4DS HS. I am disappointed, I did the whole thing and only burned 359 calories. I really wish I could get more of a burn out of the weight work. It was good though and worked me good so I'll have to tell my little brain to let go of those numbers. But it's hard to do. I am so addicted to the little gadgets, so why not read the numbers if you use them

? Eating has been not so good. And then DH just made a bunch of coconut cupcakes this morning with dulce de leche frosting. Are you kidding me?! I think he does it on purpose. So I am fighting back. I am going back on the low carb eating. Since I am working out less this month it should help. And it's way easier for me to say no to the cupcake if I'm on low carb than if I just watch calories, because then, I always convince myself I can have one and take from somewhere else. All right, enough rambling about all this. Tomorrow, I will have to go for a calorie burner though. I am thinking of Imax Extreme, Hardcore Hi/Lo intervals, BM2 scrambled eggs, MIC or one of the longer Insanity workouts. I'm leaning towards Hardcore Hi/Lo because I've never done it although I have done all the parts.
OK, got get ready to take DD to the pool. Have a great one everybody!
