Damage Control....Black Friday

[Fit_mommy]

Good Morning Girls.

I had a nice Turkey Day. What about you all? Hope everyone ate until their clothes didn't fit right anymore!

So I thought I would have to take a rest day today in order to finishing packing up last minute things for AC *but* I got most of it done last night and without DS here this morning I will have extra time sooooo.....HIGH REPS-here I come!! I would normally be doing cardio but yeah, I'm like a little kid. I can't wait to play with the new toys! I am bring cardio to AC so I can hit it over the weekend so it's all good. I may also do INTENSITY again come Monday morning.

I'm gonna wait to do personals until later on at work. Goodness knows I'll be looking for something to do. Work is gonna D-R-A-G today. It's gonna be sooooooooo B-O-R-I-N-G!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TG I am getting out at 3 atleast. My boss is da bomb!

BBL!

Okay, I lied!

By the time I got my lazy arse goin' I didn't have time to do High Reps. I had an hour but with all of the equipment used and it being the first time doing the work out, I needed more time that I just didn't have so I nixxed it...for now.

Here's what I did:

Intensity:: w/u, bootcamp, intensity step
Absolute Kickbox:: Core/Abs + stretch

Total Time: 60 minutes

Gotta pack my lunch now and hit the road. BBIAB!

Hi ladies,

Well my laptob bit it...UGH I've only had it for about 18mos. I'm going to buy Windows 7 and see if I can get that installed. It faiis when trying to do a backup/restore. There's not much on the computer, a few pics that I probably have on my desktop anyway.

Anyone go out shopping this morning. I've been out and back. I bought a 40" flat screen for the basement. It's a samsung, similar to our 55" in the family room. This new tv will be used for my workouts and Jerod and his friends to watch movies. Oh....DH just said he wants the new tv in our bedroom, and the 32" from our room in the basement. It doesn't matter to me. But my current w/o tv is old and Jerod and I have to remove one cable and plug in another whenever we use it.

I may head out in a bit to get a few more things, but it was just crazy out there.

Wendy-Nice w/o this morning. Still jealous since my new w/o's won't arrive until Monday. Tuesday will be my first new workout, what should I try first?

BBL

Diana:: Sorry about your laptop. Hopefully you will be able to install Windows 7 and use it again. Nice score on the tv tho. The new flat screen we have in the bedroom is 32 inches I think. If our room was bigger they had a 40 inch for like $80 more that DH would have jumped on in heart beat! Thanks re the work out. I just kinda made it up as I went along. I am bringing Intensity and Travel Fit with me to A/C. I figure I can use the HIIT portions of Intensity and Travel Fit is a nice burn w/o needing access to weights. I wasn't planning a work out for Sunday but now that we won't be rushed to leave early that morning I am hoping I will be motivated to work out. Good luck if you head back out to shop again today. I have no desire...I am not even usually in the "Christmas Spirit" for another 2 weeks yet so motivating me to go shopping on Black Friday is useless. LOL

Lori:: So how did your PT sessions go y'day?

Jacque:: IKWYM re kids NOT taking care of things but then just getting more crap! UGH. My inlaws go overboard and I hate it. My mom is good. She will usually buy ONE smaller toy for him to take home or a bigger toy for him to keep at her place since she knows we have no room and then she will give $ or something. My inlaws on the other hand just buy buy buy. Their heart is in the right place but he doesn't take care of his stuff and we have no room for it! I also refuse to spend my time keeping tabs on everything the kid has. I keep tabs on electronics/pricier stuff but the average toy...nope. Not happening. If he destroys it or loses the pieces then it goes in the garbage. I also go through his stuff atleast once a year and toss what he doesn't play with anymore. I wish I could get EVERYONE to do what my mom does but I KNOW it won't happen so I don't even try. DH and I have to limit what we buy him because he gets too much already!

Hi Ladies,

Back from round 2 of Black Friday shopping. Not as productive as the first go round, but did get a couple things I needed. I'm trying to install windows 7 on my laptop, it seems to be stuck on compatability checker. It's been about 40 minutes. After the compatability check it should install which could take 45 min-2 hours.

I may head back to bed and watch tv for a bit. I just ate breakfast and need to digest before working out. Later today will be house cleaning and putting up the xmas tree. We have a lot of decluttering to get done, especially in the basement if we are moving another TV down there. This will be tv number 3 in the basement. I might try to give a way my old workout TV, not sure what to do with the entertainment center though. I kind of need it for all my w/o DVD's, my w/o calendar, workbooks etc.

Wendy-have fun in A/C. Is your DS the only grandchild on DH's side? It's almost impossible not to spoil an only child. It's not intentional, it just happens. Maybe you could suggest they open a college account and contribute to that instead of buying toys.

Hey Girls,

Manager is on a conference call...so here I am!

Yesterday was busy...busy! I can't complain though. Today I had a workout session at 6:30 and I soooo did not want to leave my bed! That's when I remind myself that I need to get to bed earlier! Ugh! The girl I met with today, we usually run outside and workout at her house and I bring alot of things with me. Her (wealthy) friend was out of town and she said we could go to her gym....well...what a spot! It was bigger then most hotel gyms I have been in. It was a in door pool and hot tub area but they have the whole thing covered up and have all kinds of equipment there! It was nuts! By the time I got home I only had 30 mins for myself so I did a pretty intense run. Yesterday's workout was 20 mins on the TM and 4DSKB. I am suppose to be starting with someone else tonight...should be fun!

Wendy** Sounds like you are ready to go. When I got in to work today my coworker had all of my work done! I was kinda of lost cause I have bit of a routine. Now I am hauling out the christmas trees but am not putting any pressure on myself to decorate them today. I still have all day tomorrow and Sunday, it will get done. Nice workout this a.m. I know that my dvds have shipped but my tracking # isn't working, probably b/c of where I am....I am crossing my fingers that I get them today but Im thinking it will be mon or tues.

Diana** Ah....sounds like you are having a good day. I threw out alot of DS's junkie toys last night. He has bits and pieces of everything. As much as it killed me to throw it out...I did. There was no way we were ever going to figure out how to put it back together and its just sitting there. He needs some good toys for christmas. Enjoy the rest of your day.

I need to catch up on yesterday's thread but not right now...gonna post and run!

Di:: Yup, DS sure is the only kiddo on my hubby's side so you are probably absolutely right and I should remember that and not be so GRUMPY about it. If you don't need the entertainment center for the new tv, why not buy a dvd stand or some type of bookcase or something to house your work out stuff? It'll save room but still keep you organized!

Lori:: Putting up a Christmas Tree? UGH. DH put up and decorated the tree (and the rest of the house) alone with DS last year while I was out b/c he got tired of waiting for me to wanna do it with them. If I have my way, they will do that every year! I like Christmas but hate the preparation for it. I am very bahumbug in that way. I just want to snap my fingers and have the fun w/o doing the work!

Hiya ladies !

Well I'm slugging it again today . . . actually y'day wasn't sluggy - got some cleaning done before the kids made it here and we headed for SIL's. Nice TDay and I ate quite a bit but not too much. Will most likely be heading back for leftovers and the Sharks game if I can convince DH !

Not sure what I want to do today - w/o will be FB, thinking ME. Want to clean a little more. Not much shopping to do since the kids get some of our Sharks tix and we don't exchange between the adults on DH's side. So have the GS's and DIL's Bday (12/23) and will pick up little things here and there. For DH I think I'll be suggesting spending $ on updating the house. I need something positive and coming home to a "fresh" house (at least one a little different) makes me happy.

Wendy - hope you have found a few things to do - should just about be off by now, huh? Drive safely and enjoy AC and your workouts !

Diana - hope that Windows 7 works for you. Seems to be doing pretty well on the computers they have upgraded at work. Nice job with your shopping today - SIL tried to get us all to join her in her 4 AM trek around the malls but I don't think anyone did. I woke at 3:45 but decided since I don't need to shop that I'd stay in my warm bed. Too cold for me right now - I'm not adjusted to freezing yet!

Lori - good job with getting workouts in between your clients ! Have fun putting up the trees - my bet is you started decorating anyway you little energizer bunnyt !

BBL to report my workout.

Jacque:: Not a lot of shopping to do you say? Lucky you! I wish! Actually, the shopping has improved for me since DH's family finally changed up their Christmas Eve gift exchange tradition. Something I hope and prayed for for years. It finally happened. Saves us about $200.00 and TONS of time and aggravation! Home improvements sounds like a good Christmas Gift to me! Go for it!
