Hi ladies,
I baked 4 dozen cookies and made numerous peanut clusters. There will be more treat making today. More cookies, 7 layer bars, ice cream dessert, peanut butter balls etc. I need to wrap the last of the gifts today also. I feel so fortunate that I'm home to do all this stuff.
Not sure about a w/o, I've contemplated trying a kickbox, but don't want to hurt myself. I did total body wts yesterday so am not sure what to do today....besides stay out of all the goodies I'm making.
I am missing cardio...the weight warmups are pretty easy to get through but the "special shoe" doesn't really bend much. I can't roll on to the ball of my foot with the shoe, but I can a little bit without it.
Wendy-sounds like you had a great w/o this morning! My jillian dvd has already shipped, the Peak 10 won't arrive until next week though.

Diana, If you want to do k/b but are afraid of hurting yourself, why not try doing Cathe's MMA: Boxing wearing weighted gloves and only do combos plus upper body blitzes? That should be ok I think. You probably won't be able to do 6 week six pack until your dr clears you for more lower body activity. Can't wait to hear what you think though. Wow, you got a lot accomplished but still have so much to do! Holiday stress has officially caught up with me. I am a mess today. Got into a fight with DH this morning and still fired up about it. He is home for 2 days. There are things that still need to be done. I have no time off. I've done what I can. Now it's his turn and this morning I got the feeling like he thought I was BOTHERING HIM on his day off with this very short list of last minute stuff I needed him to take care of for me. I lost it. Hopefully he will get it done w/o incident so that we can have a pleasant evening at my mom's tonight celebrating w/o tension. Fingers crossed! All of your talk about baking cookies, etc is making me sweet tooth go wild!

Good morning ladies !
Flying by the seat of my pants lately . . .
Dinner with DIL, the BDay girl, and kids was fun - DS2 was not there but ExDH made up for it, Ha ! That is going well - his new wife is very nice so we are all getting along OK - ExDH was at the apartment move last weekend too and he and NewDH are doing fine. PLUS our Sharkies won (even though we missed the entire first period!)
Y'day was meeting, another holiday lunch at the site we are moving to, and then ended up doing a little Xmas shopping after work. No workout to report, but tonight is DH's hockey so I will workout tonight. We are usually off around 2 or 2:30 the day before a holiday (we are off tomorrow) so I'll hit the stores again and then hopefully not have much more shopping to do. Not in the spirit but must get there soon as all the kids seem to be showing up Xmas morning for our family time.
Wendy - Good to hear DH didn't get too bent about the fender bender. DD got in one and so did my co-worker the day of our Holiday lunch. Poor guy . . . we could see him from the restaurant window. Then a lady at hockey had someone back into her in a parking lot ! What is it lately? At least no one has been injured and damages haven't been too bad. Nice job with your workouts. I think I had better start gearing up a bit if I'm gonna do STS - my arms are complete sticks right now as I haven't been lifting for such a long time!
Diana - so great to hear the foot is doing well. Only a few more days and the stitches will be out! Woo Hoo ! ! ! The timing is nice for you - I always want to take time off at the holidays but haven't been able to do it for years between my assistant and issues. Perhaps next year . . . Nice you got a workout in too ! Happy Baking !
Laura - keep on truckin' girl with all your busy-ness! Did you find something for the "kids" - I know most of the pet stores have fun stuff - DS1 is a store manager for Pet Smart. Has SIL caved yet for the holidays? Have a nice day off ! ! !
Lori - you seem to be burning it at both ends right now ! Don't forget about you now young lady ! I like the fact I'm keeping busy because it is keeping me from eating all the goodies ! Do you get some decent time off for the holidays?
Time to jet off now ladies - Happy "Friday" for a few of us, huh? (Sorry Wendy & Lori !)

Jacque:: I think you should do 4DS to prepare for STS. Short but effective. Should help you get ready for sure!!! X's are always a fun topic. lol. My mom and dad divorced when I was 5. They became very good friends afterwards and always got along famously. My step-dad was very jealous and hated it but too bad. He had to deal with it. They didn't go out anywhere together but chatted on the phone and would talk a bit when he would come to pick us girls up for our visits or drop us off. Mom also befriended dad's new wife and THEY used to go out dancing together! I always appreciated the fact that they all got along so well. It was really nice to grow up in a situation like that. As for my step-father...well he was another story entirely...UGH ...

Hey Ladies,
MMA Boxing is done! Thanks for the suggestion Wendy. I did have to modifiy the warmup (of all things), becuase I couldn't do the slides but did high marches/leg lifts instead. Much to my surprise, I was able to do the jumping cardio segments.
I spent way too much time on the computer this morning. Peanut clusters are done, laundry is started...so I'm getting there. Still need to make cookies, and fortunately realized we don't have enough ice cream for the ice cream dessert-before I started making it.
Jacque-I say 4ds too...that should get you ready for STS. I'm hoping we are only doing the 3 month version...not sure I could hang with it for 6 mos. Sounds like it will be fun time at your house Christmas morning!

Diana...No worries re STS and the 6 month rotation. The EXERCISE ADD QUEEN is surely not going to commit to that! Glad you enjoyed the MMA Boxing suggestion. IKWYM about spending too much time on the computer. I am often guilty of that myself...especially on sat/sun mornings w/my coffee...
