Goodbye (and good riddance!!) to 2009 - welcome 2010!! I usually make the same resolutions each year, too. Be more patient with the kids and lose weight!! I did OK yesterday - except those dark-chocolate covered marshmallows mysteriously reappeared!! I only had two, though. Not so bad - I figured it's mostly marshmallow - not too much fat, right? And, no snacks after dinner last night or binging on chocolate. I already feel better - not so sluggish.
Beth - I may have already missed you, but have a safe and fun trip and be careful driving!! That's OK that you abandoned STS - you just about finished Meso 1. I loved Circuit Blast, too. Wow, 345 workout days is awesome. I want to try to track my workouts this year. Like which ones I do and what I thought about them. Sometimes I can't remember if I liked a workout or not.
I, too, have enjoyed getting closer to all of you and sharing our lives (fitness and everything else) with each other. You've all been here for me during some rough times - I hope to not have any more of those this year! But, thanks, everyone, for being such good friends and keeping me on track with my workouts.
Chris, yikes - hope you don't lose power! That work schedule does sound tough. Yes - you deserve chocolate on Sundays!!
I hope you do MMA Boxing, so I can hear how you like it! Oops - posting at the same time - glad to hear you loved MMA Boxing - I may try that tomorrow!
Kathy, ooh - I can't wait to hear what you think of MMA Fusion.
Hottie, so sorry you're still dealing with that cruddy cough. I was going to suggest the nasal rinse thing - I've never done it, but I think Chris has. People swear by it. Have you tried taking Mucinex? It's supposed to thin things out - it usually helps me. Mmmm - still thinking about your question of whether eating is harder with children. I think it depends how much time you have to prepare meals, or if you are time-crunched and don't make healthy stuff. Or, if you kids won't eat healthy stuff. It's hard for us when the kids are all going in different directions with sports, school, friends, etc. I wind up making three or four different meals since they aren't home at the same time. I'm so wiped out that I'll grab something unhealthy. But, with better planning (like Chris's idea of making stuff in the crockpot ahead of time) we wouldn't have that issue. Also, you might tend to have more unhealthy stuff in the house if you have kids. Although we really don't eat chips or cookies too much - when I buy them no one eats them.
I've tentatively decided to do a Jillian Michael's rotation I found. I'll start on Monday - I ordered five of her older DVDs which are in the rotation. I got them all for $25 - good deal! Today I did Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism. Unless Cathe's January rotation looks really good - then I'll do that.
Everyone have a wonderful New Year!! (although I'm sure I'll be back)
