Good Morning!
Weather is still yucky here. To tell you the truth I think i would like to see a light layer of snow on the ground instead of rain, rain, and more rain. It is warm out there though....hopefully DH will put up Christmas lights today.
We had our H1N1 shot yesterday and it feels like someone hit me in the arm with a baseball bat! No joke! I feel fine every other way though. The side effects are usually sore arm, headache, fever...I have none of the other 2 symptoms I was talking to a friend yesterday at a b-day party and she felt as if she were hungover. Im glad I don't feel like that. If I were off today I probably would have drank last night haha! I would have figured Im gonna feel like Im hungover anyway...so its just as well
Todays workout is just gonna be run and abs I think.
Belinda** Good cal burn yesterday! Thats alot! I have to run pretty far to get that burn, like 15 kms or something. Enjoy your rest day. Do you know if the kids are coming home for Christmas yet?
Deb** Thats funny about the tree. A few years ago we use to tie a rope from the top of the tree to the corner of the wall, just in case the tree decided to topple over. We have a better stand now then what we did then. This one time we didn't tie this little rope onto the tree and when I woke up one night to go to the bathroom, I looked in the direction of the tree and it wasn't there anymore. Yep...fell over while we were sleeping. What a mess! Plus the water that was in the stand was soaked up in the carpet Im surprised DS hasn't tried to climb UP the tree yet!
Ameila** what workout are you going to do today??
Helene** Sounds like we had the same kind of workout in mind yesterday. I did a easier one then you did b/c I wanted to get a small run in as well and I needed to save some energy. Im not sure how you did a longer workout and a run?? Phew! I run is easy compared to those workouts aren't they? I am impressed with myself for doing 2 workouts this week!
I think I have caught up on personals! I will bbl when I settle into work!

Good Morning Ladies.
So much for a weekend off of putting up decorations and getting in the holiday spirit...... my mom ended up in the hospital Friday with a touch of pneumonia and is also being tested for all kinds of flu's, including swine. (But I'm pretty sure that will be negative, there was never a raging fever). I just can't take this anymore, seriously. But yesterday was a rest day, was at the hospital most of the day and then went to their house last night and did all their laundry. Then this morning did Imax 1 (ended up running on Friday), and PH abs....used two risers all the way through for the first time with this workout and burned 510 cals. Ok maybe I'll bbl tonight with personals. You girls have a good Sunday.

Morning Ladies!!
Glad everyone had a nice holiday. Like most of you, I didn't hold back much and I'm trying to get rid of the damage. Also, I have a new goal to work for. We're headed to Hawaii for two weeks right after Christmas and I need to drop a few (maybe more than a few!!) inches. We'll see what I can accomplish in 4 weeks I guess This morning's wo was GS Chest & Tris and shoulder work from GS Chest, Back & Shoulders. My shoulder is feeling stronger each week. Hopefully I can stop therapy in another few weeks. Especially since my insurance isn't covering any more visits and I have to pay out of my own pocket!
Belinda - What kind of ab work are you doing today? I keep thinking about weight & plate abs. I only *attempted* it once or twice and haven't tried it again. I think it's time. Enjoy your rest day!
Lori - I'm still on the fence about the H1N1, but know I need to make a decision soon. One of my co-workers just lost a cousin to H1N1 and they were apparently in great health beforehand. Definitely has me thinking twice. We decided to skip the tree this year because we're afraid our kittens will destroy it while we are away during the day. Maybe next year. Enjoy your run and ab work.
Amelia - I haven't had the nerve to get on the scale in months. 1.4 is not bad for holiday eating!! Enjoy your ww ice cream and cardio + leg wo.
Iris - Sorry to hear about your mom. How has she been doing otherwise? ^5s on your wo & cal burn this morning! How has your running been going?
Sometime this afternoon I will jump on the elliptical and do some cardio. Hellos to Deb, Cookie & Helene!!
Have a great day everyone.

Iris,i wish i could give you a great big hug right now..im so sorry your mom is back in the hospital,hopefully it won't be for long. High fives on your calorie burn and workouts! Aweseom job
Trish-Wow..Hawaii
im so excited for you! Now thats a great christmas present! Good luck on your goal, im sure you won't have any problem reaching it! Glad to hear your shoulder is getting stronger!Hey to everyone. I finished my workout. Decided on 30mins of bm2 timesaver then 4ds lowerbody workout then PH abbs. total time was 1:16mins and 609 burned. It was a good workout...
ive got to go outside and clean up a bit, the kids and there friends has got crap all over the yard and its getting on my nerves.
Hello
Belinda: A rest day sounds great! and well deserved after yesterdays TC numbers! How is your back by the way? We haven't heard too much, I hope it means you are doing better.
Lori: Yesterday was a good workout, but the run was very small at 2 miles. Wanted to have sure I had time to go in the jacuzi But yeah, the long insanity workouts are tough but doable. I pace myself careful so that I can finish but still push myself enough that I can get benefits I think. They are so different too, a nice change of pace. Too funny about your tree stories. Still haven't gotten my H1N1 shot. Might skip it now.
Amelia: 1.4 isn't bad. I think I'm up 2 but I had several cheat meals this week I always have my worst week halfway through my cycle. When I get towards TTOM I'm actually better. Go figure.... But this week, I was low in energy, and always hungry. The worst combination. But I think I'm past it. I had a good workout yesterday and today, so I should be good now. I'll weigh in one last time on Tuesday to wrap up the November loss and start a new mini ticker. With the holidays coming and getting together with Family it's going to be super tough, I hope I can keep it flat, that would be great for me. Awesome workout today.
Iris: I am so sorry to see your news. I am sending you all the best and hoping this little bit can help. I hope that your mom recovers. Getting sick with her immune system down from chemo is certainly a worry. Did they release her from the hospital or is she still there? Take good care of her and of yourself. Imax 1 with 2 risers sounds impressive. Hope it allowed you to clear your mind, even if only for a little bit. Lots of hugs.
Trish: Nice to hear from you. Hawaii sounds awesome. Now that's workout motivation if I ever heard of it. And two weeks to boot! Woohoo. We are going to FL in 3 weeks and I can't wait. We're going to meet up with my parents and my brother and his wife. It's going to be awesome!
Deb: So how was your trip to the Jersey shore? I hope it turned out nice for you. Maybe even you got some nice things for yourself. I'm going to get some Cathe stuff for Xmas (need a new step, I have an old one that won't allow me to go high enough I think).
Cookie: Hope you had a nice time with the family visiting.
Today was a good day. Did BM2 scrambled eggs this morning (600 calories) and I always love it. The music gets me going good too. But then for lunch we went to pizza Uno and I had a beer and a sandwich with fries. Oh well, I'm not even regretting it too much! A girl has to have fun once in a while, else why bother working out so hard? I just have to make sure I don't have fun too often. Then we took the kids to a bounce place while DH played soccer. Three more weeks and I'm off to FL to stay with mom dad and bro and his wife will come meet us too. Going to be so much fun!
Have a good evening everyone! See you in the morning.

Hi girls,
No real workout, just walking at the Outlet stores and taking the dog for a walk. It was a really nice day outside perfect for Outlet shoppping. I did get a few Christmas presents. I even bought Uggs for DH to give me for Christmas but they feel too tight so not sure what I will do They were on sale and discontinued so limited sizes. My eating was so bad today when I'm with my SIL's it's so hard they really don't watch what they eat.
Belinda - I hope you enjoyed your rest day
Lori - I bet this will be a fun year for DS on Christmas morning. Your right about the stand making all the difference except last year ours sprung a leak Have fun with your run.
Amelia - Looks like you had a good workout today
Iris - So sorry to hear about your Mom, you have so much on your plate lately, sending good vibes your way.
Trish - I'm so jealous Hawaii, wish I could fit in your suitcase.
Helene - Ditto I'm jealous your going to Florida. Nice calorie burn today.
Cookie - Did you enjoy the long weekend?
Enjoy the rest of the night

'Evening!
Sorry for not checking in - as with all of you, it was a hectic weekend. Sorry it's ending and back to the grind tomorrow
Belinda, how is your back doing? And the dogs? Thought of you and Amelia this afternoon when I was out with my dogs. Ohh, they love to be walked. A deer jumped right into my car last week. I stopped, and the stupid animal had already crossed the road, but then turned, looked at me, and jumped right into the front end of the car. The front, grill, light, and side panel all are ruined. But no one was hurt. Dithered on whether to repair or replace, and yesterday bought a new one. Hate to spend the money, but the other one was 11 yrs old with over 200,000 miles - not really worth fixing.
Lori, you should have such a wonderful time this year celebrating with your ds. One of my sisters used to put her tree inside a play pen!
Amelia, lol at your story about dd trying to hide her game! You've got a plan for the next week- good idea. Have you started your shopping yet?
Iris, I'm so sorry to hear about your mom. Keeping both you and she in my thoughts. Her poor immune system is probably so compromised.
Helene, lucky you, going to FL so soon again. Sounds fun meeting up with your family there. Boy, you sure are racking up the workouts.
Trish, Hawaii!!! I love it there - you're going to have a fab time. Are you taking the girls too? The flight is a little long but worth it.
Deb, shopping sounds like it was fun. When one of the boys was being a pita - thought it might be nice if he decided to not speak to use for a while. Hard to believe cute little ones can grow up to be so obnoxious at times. My dh told me he's getting me a Cathe gift card so I can just get what I want. Doesn't he realize I do that anyway?
Can't believe the weekend is over. I still have things I want to do, and things I should do. Cookie

Good evening,
Iris, (((HUGS)))) hope you mom is out of the hospital soon. Sending her lots of positive vibes. Hang in there, girl!
Debbie, glad you had fun at the outlets. Lean circuit is that a new one?
Lori, you really enjoying those insanity workouts! Are you done decoration? You hung Christmas arrangement in the rain? You go, girl! BTW, I do love the smell of a real tree. Don’t like the mess! I agree with your on the weather, nothing worst than rain! We had sunshine today, but it was cold! My DH got the H1N1 shot(it’s mandatory for them) last week, he felt the same way. Did you kids got the shot too? Nice job on your workout today. BTW, the TC burns twice as much as any other cardio machine! Let me tell you, I am soaked after my workout in the gym. I have to change cloth before I leave, lol!
Helene, nice job with your leg and run on Saturday. My back is doing a little better. thanks for asking. Is it your first time doing the insanity workouts? How do you like them?
Trish, that is wonderful! Hawaii for 2 weeks, I am very excited for you! Great job with your workout yesterday. I can’t do any of Cathe’s ab workouts, still have to do the once the PT gave me.
Amelia, nice job on BM2 timesaver today.
Cookie, LOL! I still walk the dogs every day. My back is doing better, still can’t bent forward (deadlifts, or twist to my side) I am so glad to hear, no one got hurt! Sorry, about sending so much money, especially now before Christmas.
I will see you in the morning!
