Damage Control on the Day after Christmas is a MUST for the INSANE!

Good morning!

Gonna do SC Circuit Blast this morning. Looking forward to it! I don't know if I ever posted about it but on Thursday I tried to do MMA Fusion. I was enjoying it until about 15 mins in when she did a move I couldn't get and I got frustrated so I turned it off and did Travel Fit. Great work out!

Hope everyone had a happy holiday and that Santa brought them what they wanted. We are not quite done celebrating yet. We have to go to my SIL's this afternoon to celebrate with DH's family. I haven't really gotten on the scale and don't want to! I think I will stay away from it until Thursday morning. I am leaving for A/C Thursday afternoon so I need to know where I stand but I'll atleast have had some time to "detox" before I face the truth! LOL

Gotta go for now but I hope to get back here at some point b4 I leave for the day!

Hi Girls

Things here are starting to mellow out a bit. We went to my SIL's house last night for dinner and I went home and put DS to bed before dessert Fell asleep of course, went back, had my dessert , around 11'ish DD calls to tell me that DS is awake again! So I go back over, crawl in bed with him and its lights out for moi! Tonight there is another party on the go but I am on call..which is fine. I think I have something going on with my sinuses. My head feels tight and my noise keeps cracking or something weird like that.

Todays workout was a mix of the CC's. Took me 5.5 miles and then I did ME. I should be sore tomorrow b/c I went a little heavier with the weights.
My weight is holding steady as well. I think it was 120.8 today...something like that.

Wendy** So you are enjoying the new workouts? I know I am going to have trouble resisting b/c I have been reading some great reviews on them. I looked at them earlier and it seems as if I have to buy them individually now? Can't buy them as a box set? It would be more appealing if I could.

Anyway...Im outta here! Hope everyone is having a great day!

BBL!
Lori

Hi all !

Well crazy busy is an understatement for me too ! Am kinda keeping up with work, got Xmas taken care of to my satisfaction yesterday but my poor puppy is another story. I'm not sure what we'll be able to do for her as the tumor is on her backend and the vet thinks it may be attached to necessary BM muscles - and the little places they opened to try to drain it are stretching something horrible and all she does is bleed. UGH ! So DH said surgery, if they try, will be 700 - 800 and may make her worse ! This is sad sad sad. She is still getting around like always with a very good attitude which makes it even harder . . .

Lori - man what a super duper hubby you have there. We did pretty good at not buying anything cuz it's not a good time for us to spend right now but DH, who usually doesn't shop bought a few things that I haven't even opened yet. Didn't know he got me anything as it is such a madhouse when 25 people are opening gifts in my little house ! Guess I had better check them out soon. I figured my SC and my trip to San Diego would be fine with me.

Diana - bummer about the last minute things you got stuck with but it's all over now and your real fun begins with the girls !

Wendy - hope all is going good with you - did Joey have a good time y'day? So SC is good, huh? I can't wait but haven't even tried to get there yet. Perhaps in just a bit - but I have a pinching in my lower back that is driving me crazy. Don't know if workouts will help or hinder . . . and your reviews are making it hard to resist !

Jen - good to hear you are finally getting back on track at work. I've got one more really busy busy busy week and when we are done with holidays it will be easier to get my assistant's workload done timely. Funny, she made it to our Xmas party and stood around all afternoon - stayed later than most everyone else - yet cannot come to work? My boss and the owner did take note of that though . . . I have most of Jillian's BL vids and some of the others too. I like them for the compound moves and bootcamp style cardio. Costco had a bunch here too - I got mine on Amazon after Wendy enabled me earlier this year !

Laura - well you have been through the wringer girl ! Glad things are getting better for you too ! Hope SIL heals quickly too !

Well off to start the day at noon ! I nearly fell back to sleep a few times and I don't have any pressing schedule today other than we are going to a Sharks game tonight so "go me !" Need to do some work work but will wait until tomorrow me thinks !

Take care ladies !

Back to report my first workout since before Thanksgiving ! (if not quite that long it sure seems like it !)

Did Athletic Step and it was fun and tiring for me since I have been non-cardio forever . . . Haven't been eating much either so was feeling a bit weak. Skipped part of the final combo and went to the drills and stretch. Tomorrow I'll try something different. It felt so good to sweat !

Time to get moving again - errands to run before we have another couple pick us up for the game. I am enjoying no real deadlines today ! Woo Hoo !

Hi Ladies,

I'm back with my baby girls! It was not an easy thing to do. After parking the car, carrying 2 girls with my backpack and purse....DS was carrying his huge rolling duffle and 2 car seats, waiting for the shuttle in the freezing cold etc. But we mad it back. It was so cute, I was holding one of gd's during take off and told her to hold on tight, she didn't grab on to me until she could feel lift off, then she looked out the window, and without a peep, she reached up and covered her eyes.

I did manage to w/o on xmas day. I did HIIT, double wave pyramid. These shorter workouts may work out nicely for me. Although my preference is to w/o for at least an hour, my schedule hasn't been leaving me time for that.

Wendy-It's nice that you have a lot of family to celebrate the holiday's with. So you are celebrating New Years Eve in AC...that should be a fantastic time.

Lori-Wow, sounds like you scored this year! Enjoy your new hot tub. My DH and I have looked into getting one several times, I'm just not sure how much it would get used. Oh, I flew on xmas day. I breezed through security as the airport was pretty empty. yesterday. My flight was full though, same as my flight back today.

Jacque-DH and I are in the same boat too this year. We just exchanged stocking stuffers. Having DS1 and the girls here are our xmas gift. I'm looking forward to both the step workouts, guess I will be trying to get them in during the girls nap time! You have to be careful with your employee out on medical leave. Dr.'s make the call on that, not HR. I was out for 6 weeks with my hysterectomy. I probably could've gone back sooner but the dr. said 6 weeks minimum...I actually enjoyed my time off for the last 3 weeks as I was feeling pretty good and could get around good to. Have a great time at the game, hope they win...unless they are playing the avs.

Hi Jen and Laura!
