Hi Ladies,
Yesterday was my last bootcamp class and I missed it. Oh well, I'm not too broke up about it. These all day meeting are pretty tough and I just didn't have the energy for a workout.
Today is our last day of meetings and it's only until 11am this morning. Afterwards we are have our Annual Holiday Pigout! It's a huge potluck and white elephant gift exchange. It's really fun and I'm looking forward to it.
Oh, all the parts for my laptop arrived yesterday. I'm taking everything in and one of the pc techs is putting in the new parts-for a good bottle of tequila. DH bought a bottle of Cabo Wabo for him! He actually recommended a place for me to get it fixed, but when I told him how much it was he said he'd do it for a good bottle of tequila. The only bad thing is he's on vacation. He will repair it next week and one of my boys can go pick it up for me.
My granddaughters called me last night and sang twinkle twinkle little star to me! They are too cute for sure! I'm counting down the days, they will be here in 18 days.
Wendy-love bm2 cardio, it's really fun IMO. Is that the one with all the thrusts?? Those thrusts seem to be tough on my lower back. Maybe those are in high reps.
Laura-I saw that you posted no workouts through the end of the year. Our class always wants to extend our session for a couple more weeks but the rec ctr won't do it because most folks are just too busy at this time of year.
Lori-there's not much time left young lady, it sounds like you are behind on your xmas shopping. If you don't plan on doing Intensity cuz you mostly run anway, the go ahead and give that one to your sister. But beware, it is fun w/o and really easy to pick up.
Jacque-It sounds like you've been pretty busy lately. I'm so looking forward to my medical leave. Sounds terrible doesn't it. Hope you taking some time for yourself.
TGIF!!!

Diana, So you work out this morning? Sorry you missed the last BC Class but if you were fried from meetings it wasn't worth it. It's not like you don't have enough options to work out at home whenever you want. LOL What are the thrusts you are talking about? I'm not sure. Yes, BM2 is fun. Takes a lot out of me too. That's for sure! That's a nice trade off...pc fix for tequila. WIN-WIN! You save $ and he can get drunk on quality liquor!

TGIF.. finally
Hey Ladies!
Man this has been the week from H### .. OMG .. super busy .. mean stressed out people... crazy insane things happening .. I am sooo glad it is FRIDAY *sigh* .. why is it the holidays sometimes brings out the WORST in people????
I went home and got the most of my Christmas decorations out .. now all I have to get is the wreaths from the attic .. and get a tree and decorate it .. I found a gift DH gave me last year .. the Clark Griswald Christmas collection . . it has the Griswald Christmas DVD - santa hat - coasters fake snow etc ... Think it is super appropriate for our Christmas
Wendy .. BM2 is one of my ALL TIME favorite Cathe workouts .. dont think I could do it in the morning though .. LOL
Di .. yes I canceled classes .. it has been sparse .. and there is just so much going on this time of year .. and the stupid room is NOT FIXED YET .. so I am hoping maybe this will motivate him to fix it .. if not .. not sure if I will resume teaching or not .. I have been teaching for 26 years now .. and it may be time for me to retire .. sometimes I just get so burned out!
Hello to Jacque - hope all is ok!!!
Hello to Lori - how much snow do you have now??
SOOOOOO no workouts to report - except STRESSMAX .. can that count as a workout .. rapid heart beat .. sweats .. adrenaline ???? tonight is our work group party .. so that will be NICE .. hoping to get my tree tonight too .. and tmrw is our annual Dirty Santa party at VBF house .. it is always FUN ... I am lucky to have such a GREAT group of girlfriends!!! although we have been known to fight over an ornament or two!!! Have a great one!

Hey ladies ! TGIF to all ...
Finally have my back to feeling normal (as normal as it usually gets) Was gonna workout last night but after doing a difficult layoff of a co-worker I opted to go to DH's hockey game and DD and beau came on down. The guys won their game (unusual for them ) and had a great visit with the kids.
I'll be hitting HR in just a few minutes. Wanted to get some work done on my day off (I know I know) since I can accomplish more without interruptions, but there was a huge power outage where our servers are located and I cannot connect with my computer. Perhaps that is a sign? ? ?
Wendy - sorry for the crickets lately . . . Wish my business was a little more fun. BM2 on the high step is a toughie one for me - especially if I've done any legwork in the previous days. Hope the remainder of your day goes by quickly !
Diana - good to hear your meetings are nearly over and there if fun planned for all of you. No it doesn't sound bad that you are looking forward to your medical leave . . . work has not been fun, you will have a foot that will accomplish what you want it to WITHOUT pain and the girls are coming, the girls are coming ! ! ! Now what about that sounds bad ? ? ? Great news about the pc/tequila exchange program - quite a deal. Cute the girls sang a song for you - DD had a video of my boys playing with her iphone - giggling and laughing and getting their faces close to the camera. Oh yes those innocent days, huh?
Laura - TGIF especially for you ! ! ! Sounds like a fun weekend for you. LOL at the DH gift - fun decorations make a great time. Good for you cancelling classes since they aren't working out too well. What would we ever LOL about if you don't torture your classes? That is a long time and ITA that sometimes a change is just necessary. I'm sure you could find something to workout to and make your life a little less chaotic. Enjoy the parties and decorating.
Heya Lori - clients and work this weekend ?
Have a good one girls !

Laura:: Trust me, you won't find me doing BM2 in full at 5am either! I did the cardio-40ish minutes. That's it! Glad you got your decorations up. We still have NOTHING done. NOTHING! My poor kid!
Jacque:: No worries. I am used to the crickets by now. I've started humming along with them! I have been hitting the legs often and hard with this rotation so that could be a factor in why BM2 hit me so hard this morning. I do recall though, having it be tough the last time or 2 I did it so maybe it's just a toughie for me regardless. That's ok. The extra challenge is a good thing!!! Working on your day off again? When will you ever learn?

HI Girls!
Better late then never, right? I am sooo dragging today. I feel like I need a nap and I didn't have a bad sleep last night by no means. I had a client at 7:15 so I only did 30 mins of cardio myself
My new workouts arrived yesterday and I battled so much with which ones to give my sister that they are still in wrap. I haven't had a chance to do either of them. I got tired of trying to figure out what ones to give away that I just asked her what she wanted. She is to old for suprises anyway She picked INTENSITY (Wendy, were you talking to my sister yesterday?) and she didn't care which other one. I thought about giving her STS FB but now Wendy is talking about how awesome that one is....ME SO CONFUSED!! Def keeping LB blast though.
Tonight I am on call, have two more training sessions and suppose to go to a party. I may go for a couple of hours even though I have to get up early. I just feel bad that I said I would be there and then not show seems a bit rude. So I may grace them with a couple of hours of my presence! hehe!
Wendy** O.k...so you know I am totally sitting here with my arms folded and pouting. I wanted to throw a tantrum but tis the season to give and I will just give myself the workouts in the new year. She couldn't make up her mind which ones she wanted so I said " Im santa...tell me what you want!" LOL Now...about the boots. DD has a friend and her family aren't on the top of the food chain. I am not sure what he does but I know her mom works a a minimum wage job. The girl does have "stuff" just not as spoiled as the rest of them. She spends alot of time at our house and she is a really good kid. Anyway...the boots are shipped so I am thinking I may give them to DD's friend if her feet are the right size. Problem is I don't want to put the parents out either, so I will have to call them and ask if its o.k. I could tell them I can't send them back.....
Laura** I had a flight the other night from Birmingham and they were talking about how much nicer it is here, then there! LOL I almost said " I know" but then I would have to explain about my cyber friend! LOL Hope you enjoy your weekend and RELAX! Oh...no snow here!
BB in a bit!

Lori:: I have a great idea to solve your dilemma! Have someone else wrap all of the dvds up for you and then you just pick 2 to give to your sis. Don't even unwrap them. Just give them to her and you will be as surprised as her! Then you can give the remaining 2 wrapped dvds to yourself for Christmas afterwards this way you will not be able to change your mind!
