Good morning ladies...

This is my recovery week. So, today is a cardio workout. NOt sure which one yet...And it is cold here today. The computer is telling me 12 degrees. Yikes!!!

ok, gotta get my day going. Be back later..
 
No hiccuping (so far) today! Half day for me I think ... as most of the week. I want to pop in my terminator dvd and try something there...will let you know what I do....
 
I've either had too much coffee or not enough, because I read that as your "thermometer dvd".

Good morning! Kathy -- easy cardio, right?! ;) I'm still feeling soreness from re-starting STS, so I'm all about easy right now. Hottie, I was wondering if you still had the hiccups. I've been getting the hiccups a lot lately. I used to get them on a daily basis -- not anymore, but lately, yes. They don't last long, but there they are.

First day of winter..... (and do we have our shock cardio?! :D)

Today was a rest day for me so I did Ruah Warrior, which is another new one I acquired during Mary's sale. I liked it -- sort of yoga like, but more of a workout feel. It is broken into standing, floor, and stretch work, and halfway through the standing they just repeated everything -- I wasn't so wild about that!!

Not sure what's on our agenda today.... need to go to the post office and grocery store, but we also need to go see the lights in the park that we saw last year and I am not making two trips to town, so we'll do some stuff here for a while. Travis needs to get on his ALD (autonomous learner degree -- the extra work) work. I really think he can do it if he just gets down to business and does it, you know? ;)

Dylan is still sick but it seems to be worse at night -- I think I may be getting it -- feeling fine (great) now, but last night I felt like I just wanted to crawl into bed.

Have a great day......
 
Hi ladies. Somewhat quiet weekend here. The services for my dad were actually the weekend before this one. I don't think I posted about it, but everything turned out nice. I was so proud of the kids. Jameson was a pallbearer. I wasn't sure if it was a good idea, but he said he wanted to do it. There's nothing more heartbreaking than your son walking down the church aisle with tears in his eyes next to his grandpa. Jameson and Ian did the readings and Caitlyn and Colin brought up the gifts. This weekend I tried to keep my mom busy. We did thank you cards and we had her over for dinner last night.

My shock cardio is supposed to come tomorrow!! ;) I'm so excited!! Not sure if the snow will hold it up, right now it's in Kansas. So, it should get here.

Hottie and Beth - how very cool you will meet at the San Diego RT!! Beth, don't you feel guilty at all! You deserve it. Larry and the boys will be just fine and it'll give them some good father/son time. Think how much more they'll appreciate you when you get back. ;)

Beth, Colin has two projects and a book report due right after break and it's not extra, everyone has to do it. Crazy. I keep telling him to start on it. What if families go away for the holidays? Hope Dylan is feeling better soon and you don't get it.

Hottie, Terminator is fun but tough!! Good luck!

Kathy, sounds like you are snowed in there!! It always seems to get really cold after a big snow.

Hey Chris!

No workouts for me this weekend or today. I seem to have caught my mother's cold, so I decided to take it easy. Jameson had two friends stay over, so no workout this morning either. I have some errands to run, so I'm going to have to kick them out soon.
 
Joanne, I realized after I posted that the services must have been last weekend, since you said your aunt was leaving, and she wouldn't have left before the services. Wow, it sounds like your kids did a really nice job!

Lucky you on shock cardio! I have a feeling I won't really see mine before the end of the year -- UPS is just so slow getting here. I see there's an athletic step clip up -- I need to go check that. :)

That work over the break seems insane! The stuff Travis is doing is not required at all -- I am requiring it because we have time, that's all.
 
Rah-roh! To me athletic step is supposed to mean no tough choreography! I don't know how I'll ever follow along with this.....:confused: it looks fun, but.. I'm just so lame.....
 
Just about to start a stretch! Just did Imax extreme and walked Evee for a little over a half a mile (my standard evee walk). Wow, that was awesome. I did need a break in the middle but it was more for my feet to massage them than my heart (though my heart really did enjoy that break). For some reason the third cardio of C&W tires me out. But I liked it and it was perfect for today.

Kathy -- so what did you end up doing?
Joanne -- I was thinking about you this weekend. I hope the whole weekend helped bring you to a more balanced place. Those services can really help. So lucky for Shock Cardio! I keep on hoping that USPS will bring it by my bday...please please please...
Beth -- I LOVED that athletic step clip. LOVED IT. Afraid I have lost cardio capacity but LOVED it. Uber excited. And you'll get it, you know you will. Frankly, I'm so happy that it's coming now because I really got to dedicate to STS Strength with cardio distractions. And now I can focus on cardio and circuits until the RT!

Ok, better hop to that stretch and shower!
 
Hey Girls...

Off to start I think DISC 31, Chest & Back!

I really want to get something done today....

Oh wait, A video clip from Athletic Step!!!... Must watch first! :eek:
 
Hottie, you just completed Imax Extreme and you're worried you won't be able to handle STS cardio?! You underestimate yourself! ;) I'm sure you'll do fine. I was mistaken about my STS cardio - it was in PA, not KS! That was the overpriced Barbie Camper that arrived Saturday. My STS package in now in Ohio. Inching its way closer. ;)

Already the kids are complaining they are bored! I don't think I'll mind going to work tomorrow. A friend just invited Colin and Caitlyn over for a few hours. She wants me to stay, too. She is so nice and I told her that would be nice, but now I realize I have so much to do. I hope she won't be insulted if I don't stay. My mom wants me to pick up a nice cookie tray at Costco for the nurses who took care of my dad. I have to work tomorrow and Wednesday so now is the only time I can do it. Jameson still has one friend over and another on the way. And, everyone is perpetually hungry!! I have no presents wrapped and everything is in disarray in the attic. I don't even remember what I bought. But, it will get done, right? Oh, and those dang mint M&Ms are out again. Can't.stop.eating.them. They are freaking addicting.

Beth, I'm sure you'll get the athletic step. Those clips are of the finished combo, I'm sure Cathe breaks it down first. But, it does look fun.

Chris, hope you enjoyed chest and back!!

Off to make some more food...

Hey Again...

Finished DISC 31. I went lighter than what my card said, I really would have hurt myself if I used the bigger weights. Kind of bums me out. How the heck did I do it last time??? But still worked hard. OMG, my triceps are STILL sore from Friday!!

Kathy: hope you got a good warm cardio in today!

Beth: Hope you stay well and don't get sick! Take your vitamins!! ... Cathe has such great cueing, though, I bet Athletic Step isn't as hard as it may look. Have fun tonight with the lights!

Hottie: WTG on IMAX extreme!!

Joanne: They say my Shock cardio is coming tomorrow too! Wonder if I should try one, it is my cardio day. Will you?... You should be so proud of your kids at your dad's service. What a wonderful tribute to him. What great kids! And even Caitlyn got up? I always picture her as a shy girly girl :). ... That just sucks to have vacation school projects. It ruins it for US!!!!

Better get going, gotta shower and do the supper thing. And Definitely have to either start wrapping or bake something!! I have so many ideas, but they never take shape (for baking). I have to bring a dessert to my bro's house Christmas eve, and someone gave me a recipe for Lemon Lush. OMG, have you guys ever had this? It looks/sounds very evil, but something people will love!... Plus I want to try the PB Kiss Cookies again (failed on Saturday, boys ate the mistakes) and Magic Cookie Bars. And either choc. chip or some creative choc chip cookie.

Hi everyone..

I have been baking too. I made some cookie cutouts, powdered sugar balls and pumpkin pie for Christmas..

Workout for me was Step Blast....
 
Chris, you might have had to go lighter since your triceps were sore. Yea, my shock cardio is now in Chicago!! Now it has to go to our local UPS place and out for delivery. :) We don't usually get UPS deliveries till after 6:00, so I won't do one till Wed. morning. Which are you going to do first?? I haven't decided yet. Oooh, all those cookies sound yummy. All I've made this year is white chocolate chip cranberry cookies. What's Lemon Lush? Is that a frozen drink? Yum. Are the peanut butter kiss cookies the ones with the hershey's kiss in the middle? My kids love those - I'm going to try to make some. And this toffee caramel cookie Jameson loves, but every year I seem to have to search for the recipe.

Have a good night all.

Joanne
