Hi again,
I guess you'd think I could spell Xer after all of this time. Spelling is not one of my strong points!
Yesterday I had to run to the grocery store after work. I have an errand after work again today.
I ended up doing 4ds hi intensity step or whatever it's called and the ch/back. I like that weight work, the cardio for me has a lto to be desired. The little bit of choreography she does is good, but I am sick of doing filler moves. I haven't lifted heavy for about 10 days and felt really strong. I'm a little excited now about starting another round of the x as soon as I get those new dvds. I want to make sure I'm injury free. Oh and I spent some time with Eion.
Today is tri/bi/sh from 4ds and I don't know what else.
Did anyone else see Biggest Loser night before last? I usually don't watch it, but some of those people lost a lot of weight. One guy lost 186 lbs and it wasn't unusual for people to loose over 100 lbs. It was quite emotional and you had to feel happy for those people who had lost all of that weight.
I'll try to catch up with yesterday's posts while I'm at work.
Sandra - I don't know if I could stand the thought of lice again. I hate those little things.
Debra - I was really sleepy when I first got pregnant, LOL!
Traci - Have you tried Word in Vista? I found it extremely hard to use. I don't know why they just couldn't leave well enough alone. I've never seen a keyboard like the one we have, obvioulsy I'm having a hard time getting used to it. It's hard to teach an old dog new tricks!
Sorry about those who are feeling under the weather. I felt so bad on Tuesday and when I worked out last night I wasn't sure if the feeling bad was all hormonal or possibly a little bug. I wasn't 100% yesterday either. I think I feel better today.......
Stay warm,
Tracy

tracy- got a kick out of EXER!!! Hey Gals- I can see that all Xers except Sandra are starting to heal and mend! What a grand holiday gift!!
Your chuckle for the day::: I got a holiday card in mail yesterday – all I noticed was “Debbie” on return label- my brain went to “Debra”- I opened & here’s a pic of a darling child that ISNT Dear Diva…. I looked & looked & pulled up Debra’s picture trail- nope- “She must be sending out alias pics for some reason” I thought…The card was signed Debbie & Steve & ??? – even that didn’t shake my brain- I thought “Well- I don’t recall Debs XDH being named Steve”- hmmmmm “I thought Deb told us no XDH name on cards this year,” hmmmmm- “Why isn’t Polly on the card???” – Yes my friends this went on for at least a half hour! Finally Ms Brain Child decided to look at return address again… OOPS!!!!! I forgot I had another friend named Debbie who is married to Steve! Pathetic I tell you- I am just pathetic!
My sister called last night- her kitty of 10 years had to be put to sleep- this call came as I waited for a call from Sandy’s vet to figure out WTH to do now…. VERY emotionally draining day all around…. She was crying and such… you all know what its like…. I haven’t told her about Sandy’s latest back turn since she’s dealing with so much with my nephew…
Apryl called me early yesterday morning to say Lil Matthew was able to nurse for the 1st time! WHAT JOY!!!! By days end she had called sobbing to report that he wasn’t able to be held at the PM feeding as his lungs weren’t doing so well – back in went the feeding tubes…. I’d say this emotional roller coaster is tough stuff… If its this hard on Auntie T I can only begin to imagine what it does to my niece & husband & my sister….
Took yesterday as a “rest” day as I got home late and then all the drama with my sis & niece started… I’m just exhausted by all this… awake every night jumping at every sound Sandy makes…. Its taking its toll- At least I am eating healthy so that’s not playing havoc as well.
I did enjoy my outing with GF and picked up some of the most marvelous things….
I brought home the last of the Xmas gifts + some goodies for ME! This place has a famous crafts & gifts shop + an organic garden – I bought 6 Kale Plants – and 13 herb plants… I made a smoothie from my fresh Kale last night and had fresh mint in my green tea as well…. I feel so healthy! Yes- you all were right- I NEEDED to get away from all the cares of the world for a bit.
My plan for Recovery Week:
Thur: Drill Max as produced
Fri: Yoga
Sat: Butts & Guts as produced
Sun: Yoga
Mon: The Parts Full Body (Staehle)
Tues: XMAS- REST
Wed: Start Phase 2 Week 1 of Lean
Sounds like a plan to me!!!
Thanks for letting me go on & on about my woes…. Will keep repeating the Eoin quote that’s on my tag line!
:::::Sandra:::::
Whats the deal Ms Sandra???? You just cannot be sick! Are you thinking if you get sick then the lice wont want any part of your family??? That incident by the way is forever stuck in my memory… Personally I’d not chance it- Xmas or not – but that’s me & I’m more selfish than you! ~ You are making me REALLY want to get into the next set of X strength DVDs!!! I love a good forearm burn- I think I’m the only person that adds forearm & tibialis work to my workouts when the DVDs don’t cover it! LOL ~ Is there the huge savings on mags in Canada if you subscribe vs buy OTC? Its usually 30-40% saving here…. PLUS I am making a recipe out of the FEBRUARY issue that I just received! Now THAT’S advance mailing! LOL
Take it easy today xxooxoxo
:::::Jeanette:::::
FABULOUS news that the BG Event kicked those germs BA-BYE!!! Happy dancing for you girl! I love burrito bars! Good job saving the calories for desserts- ya gotta splurge on something right? ~ I forgot that I didn’t order til the several days after calendar sale started, I recall I was practicing delayed gratification! My dad is your sisters neighbor… Dad & his wife retired over in Shell Beach…BEAUTIFUL there- I fly into SLO when I am avoiding Bakersfield family!

Wish your DD’s GF would get on that show. ~ I have Microsoft Word installed so that’s the only WORD I use regularly- didn’t even know Vista came with its own… I AGREE – It IS harder to teach us new programs as we grow in wisdom!
:::::Debra:::::
Debs pregnant??? LOLOLOL- I LOVE how our meek Tracy stirs the pot! ~Whats up w/ the web cam??? Ya gonna expect to SEE me now??? LOL- I do not have one- but if ya want to talk to me live I surely will get one! I want to see these infamous jammies!!! I dragged DH to Polar Express the year it came out- I cried & cried (I’m sappy tho) but DH has never agreed to go see another Christmas Movie again! LOLOLOL CONGRATS on Christmas Cards!!! What a feeling of accomplishment! Hope Dinner with CB was great WHEREVER the crazed man decided to go! ~ I cracked up that you got CB bedding!!!! You lil hussie!

Classic/ Week 5/ Day 5/ YogaX (subbed with CardioX & Finn's Strong, Free & Happy premix).
Good morning,
We'll be missing the Pump & Jump class at the Y tonight, because DD has her Xmas Concert. So, instead of just doing YogaX this morning, I'm going to do CardioX and Finn's SFH premix. That should cover all the bases.
I'll be back after the workout!
Cheers!
Sandra

Good Morning Xers!
I'm almost caught up on workouts
Yesterday I did KM and Eoin, but did not get to Core Syn (was out late TRYING to finish up my Xmas shopping, to no avail, ARGH!), so today will be Core Syn this morning and Step Blast later on this evening. Then I'll be all caught up I've been very frustrated trying to get this @#$%^ shopping finished. I really want a nice tree-topper for the Xmas tree (gift for DH) and you would NOT think it was so hard to fine one, right? WRONG! Argh. I AM just about done wrapping (except for items that haven't arrived yet), though, so that's good. I'm glad we decided to ditch schoolwork this week, lol, otherwise I'd be very far behind.
Sandra -- That's a tough situation. I think I'd still go but not stay too long. I've never (thankfully, knock on wood) had lice in my house, though... I hope you get over your germ quickly. I highly recommend Zicam (and if I'd taken my own advice, lol, I might have been better a lot sooner!)
Nicole -- Sometimes men are such babies!! lol. I hope DH comes around to your line of thinking soon and your little ones are on the mend!!
Traci-X -- Looks like a great plan Have fun with Drill Max. It's been awhile since I've done that one as produced.
Hi to everyone else! I hope you all have a productive day!

Good morning,
Round 2, Phase 1 Lean Rotation, Week 4, Day 4 - StretchX
StretchX felt pretty good today. My wrists have been feeling a little stiff lately. I'll keep trying to stretch them. Have a Christmas program to go to tonite for my nephew. I'll be going with my Mom and my Grandma. If there is too much snow, we may not take Grandma as we don't want to risk a fall. Sending DH to the Post Office to pick up a package. Think it is my Bath & Body order (hand soaps). They close at 5:00 p.m. What kind of business would close just as everyone is getting off work? Crazy.
Tracy, I hate filler moves too. That's why I like Christi and Tracey Staehle because their routines aren't full of those. I need to try Amy after the first of the year. Which one is a "must get"? I'm not interested in the Kickbox. Step or Hi-Lo would be good. Didn't see The Big Loser last night. Sounds like it would have been good. I've only done the weight work in the new series once. Will go back to it later.
Traci, LOL re: the Christmas Card you received. With all that's been on your mind lately, it takes a bit to clear those cobwebs. I take it you don't talk to "Deb" on a daily basis like you do our Debra. Yep, this cyber stuff is fun. So sorry about your sister's cat. Nice of you not to mention any more about Sandy. (((Hugs))) to you. Hang in there. A roller coaster it is, so tough for the parents and all involved. Glad you bought a little something for yourself. Your Recovery Week looks lots different than the lazy Xer one I'm doing. What can I say? I keep hoping that lesser intensity works for me. I love visiting my sister in Atascadero. Gets pretty hot in the summer, but spring/fall is nice. I'm hoping to plan a trip down there this year again.
Sandra, you must be feeling better today! Woohoo! Glad the yuckies haven't gotten to you. Enjoy that Christmas concert tonite.
Carol, I have Core Syn on tap for tomorrow. I'm not quite done shopping yet. Will probably finish on Saturday or so. I haven't wrapped a darn thing yet either.
Later,
Jeanette

Morning Xers,
Round 3/Phase 1/Week 4/Day 3
Workout: Janis Saffell's Kick It
Today we are having a potluck, and I didn't make anything. I just bought some crackers and cheese. I think I cooked myself out this past weekend. Cooking overload or something like that! Feeling 100% today, and happy that it is my last day of working until the new year. I will be into work next Friday to enter my EMS (this would be my employee reveiw sheet for my raise) in the system . Do I put on this thing, chat every morning with the Xers. :7 :7 My boss said I did a great job this year, so I'm happy. I kept his budget in line, so he is looking good for his boss. Everything comes down to the mighty $ in the end. :7
Tracy, Glad you are feeling better and looking forward to starting a round of the X. I will be getting a chance to spend some time with Eion also. Just got a notification that the DVD I order shipped out from Amazon. I did watch TBL. I though all the contestants did a great job. I know this will never happen, but I wish they would give more information on how these people train/eat. Two of these people had medical issues, and where still able to lose weight. Wouldn't it have been nice for TBL to give more info on where to go to get more information. Just my one pet peeve.
Traci, Oh I'm still sending out my prayers for your little Matthew. {{{{{HUGS}}}}} to you during this time. I will be around the boards until Sunday. And then I will be out of commission. My parents do not have internet. They had it at one time, but my Mom could not or would not use the dang thing. We are getting back on Christmas Day, but will be getting ready to head to DH's parents once we get home. Sounds like you had a nice venture out with your GF.
Sandra, Dang on missing the Pump & Jump class. You always seem to have a great time jumping around with your little one. My youngest had her Christmas concert last week. It was nice because it only lasted for a half hour. My girls are both in school on Friday too. The youngest gets out early, and I think we will be making cookies. I think you should be good with going to your friends, as long as the kids do not get their heads close to your friends children, or put their heads on pillows. I know the HE77 you went through last year, and can understand your concern. But now you are aware of the lice going in. ;-) Hope you start feeling better soon. I have heard that the Zicam or Airborn is suppose to work really well.
Carol, What type of tree topper are you looking for? Seems that there is always one present that is elusive. Glad you where able to get all caught up. Good thing you are feeling better with all the things that you still have to do. :7
TG, I remember you saying that you had a big family. Sounds like your family was alot like ours. My Mom was head of the Sunday School. ;-) I'm looking forward to going to my home town church. It is not one of these modern churches that we are in now. They still pull a rope for the bell in the tower. Love it! Just hope the pastor doesn't have a 2 hour service like last year. :7
Nicole, I say stick to your guns on the motorcycle. How old are your boys again? The weather people have changed the weather forcast for the weekend somewhat. They now think that it will be just snow. Snow is better than freezing rain.
Debra, I just love how you are like the energizer bunny. Maybe when I go home I should take a nap, and then I could get all these other things done. I would probably end up sleeping all night. :7 :7 Hope the web cam didn't take your computer down....
Jeanette, My hair looks good, and DH even said it looked pretty last night. I stayed with the same color, and she trimmed it up. I also bought my shampoo and conditioner, because it seems to be working with keeping my hair from being too frizzy. Also got 20% off buying it in December. My DH filmed oldest DD's play, and she was one of the few kids I could actually hear talking. I think in total there where 5 people that I could understand what they said. She makes a good little girl charecter.
DH just called me and he thinks he is getting the same flu that I had. Crossing my fingers that this isn't so, or that the girls don't get it. x(
Have a great day!

It is not one of these modern churches that we are in now. They still pull a rope for the bell in the tower. Love it! Just hope the pastor doesn't have a 2 hour service like last year. :7
Nicole, I say stick to your guns on the motorcycle. How old are your boys again? The weather people have changed the weather forcast for the weekend somewhat. They now think that it will be just snow. Snow is better than freezing rain.
Debra, I just love how you are like the energizer bunny. Maybe when I go home I should take a nap, and then I could get all these other things done. I would probably end up sleeping all night. :7 :7 Hope the web cam didn't take your computer down....
Jeanette, My hair looks good, and DH even said it looked pretty last night. I stayed with the same color, and she trimmed it up. I also bought my shampoo and conditioner, because it seems to be working with keeping my hair from being too frizzy. Also got 20% off buying it in December.
My DH filmed oldest DD's play, and she was one of the few kids I could actually hear talking. I think in total there where 5 people that I could understand what they said. She makes a good little girl charecter. DH just called me and he thinks he is getting the same flu that I had. Crossing my fingers that this isn't so, or that the girls don't get it. x(
Have a great day!

So sorry I didn't get back yesterday...after I got the we cam up and running, I realized that if I wanted to spend some time with Eoin before CB came over to go to dinner, I had to get going! As I read over the last sentence, it looks like I am the hussy that Traci is accusing me of being! Also...I assured Sandra yesterday that I am not preggers...you crazy ladies! Although I may be acting like a teenager, I definitely have more sense than one...LOL! I did tell CB that I am not drinking wine with him again...Has anyone heard the country song "Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off"? That was me last night only with pinot grigio. UGH. CB said he was going to make sure and bring a bottle of wine every time he comes over....LOL!
I actually need to head out the door and go pick up my diva, so no time for a long chat right now....I am planning on doing SH bis and tris today...And Traci, I promise I will never sign a card "Debbie"....sounds too much like "Debbie Does Dallas". Where is my mind this morning??? I apparently lost it in between glasses of wine last night!
Back in a bit to catch up with personals...Hopefully my mind will be out of the gutter by then.

Good morning everyone. How was your workout today?
CardioX and Finn's SFH premix gave me a good workout.
Tracy....That show is probably very motivational. Is there ever someone on who does not lose weight?
Traci....Oh my word, what a laugh you gave me about the card. It's obvious that your online friends are more paramount in your life than your live ones. Ooooh, your sister's having some tough times. But Matthew will continue to improve!! Babies lungs cannot function on their own until 4 weeks before their due date (36 weeks gestation). That's the mark at which they are considered "full term." In another week, I should imagine, he'll be strong enough to come off all the machines. Look at me, writing like I'm a med doctor. Obviously I'm not, but I read a lot about birthin' babies when I expecting my own. My friend's daughter, born at 32 weeks and 4lbs, had a series of strokes when she was born. She was in intensive care for a couple of months, at least. Now, at 6 years of age, you'd never guess anything like that had happened. Coooool, fresh kale in your smoothie! I want some! Er, how did you manage to alter your rotation so that Xmas is a rest day? I talked to my friend about the head lice yesterday. I'll talk to her again on Monday to see where she's at in the battle. We joked around about having everyone wear plastic shower caps to dinner, but I'm starting to think that's a plausible idea!! Yes, we get those kind of discounts on magazine subscriptions. I just like buying myself a little treat when I go shopping. Also, I get annoyed by the premature sending of the "renew now!" post cards. So I throw them away, then when I really DO have to renew, I don't realize it, and I lose my subscription for a few months. What's the recipe you're going to make? I won't make you type out the whole recipe, just the name please. LOL about the sulking face being a turn off. My biggest turn off is unshaven (ouch!).
Carol....Thanks for the Zicam suggestion. I have no idea what that is, but maybe I'll check it out when I head to the drug store. So far my symptoms are mild. I'm sure they'll take over my whole body just in time for Christmas.
Jeanette....I ask the same thing about the post office! When we first moved to this (brand new) neighbourhood 1 1/2 years ago, we had to go to the post office to pick up our mailbox key. Except that the branch we had to go to was only open from 12:00-2:30pm, Mon-Fri!!! WTH is that about?! So, we didn't get our mail for about 2 weeks, whereupon DH actually had to take time off work to go get the key. Thankfully a new branch opened up in our neighbourhood, in a grocery store with extended hours. We don't have fleas here, either, due to the cold. But I guess since lice live on humans, and we humans live indoors, they're able to survive? No, I haven't received the tape yet. I'll be sure to let you know when it arrives. If it's a choice between Harry/Sally and Polar Express, go for Harry/Sally.
Teddygirl....A spinach salad sounds pretty yummy to me. I must be veggie-deprived. I perked up at the sounds of Traci's kale smoothie. I need to get some greens in my today. Have a great time at the party. Take some time to appreciate it; those of us who "work at home" don't get a Xmas party, and usually end up staging them for everyone else. So, eat a few goodies for me, okay? I just read what you wrote yesterday about your parents. Wow, they were pretty impressive people, weren't they? With such strong personalities as they had, I can see why you miss them so much.
Laurie....Put down that chatting with the Xers every morning enhanced your productivity, and afternoon sessions on the internet would be doubly beneficial Which DVD did you order? Is the new Eion shipping???? Oh, another plug for Zicam, I see! Well, now I really do need to check it out. I hope the concert tonight is an hour long, at best. Is it improper to state aloud that these things bore me silly? My DD actually has a part in the play this year: she plays a younger version of the main character. She came home the other day crowing about being an 'ac-tooor'. I think she may more likely be a ham. Yes, we'll take lots of precautions if we go to the friend's house on Xmas day. Lots of tea tree oil dapped around the hairline, and possibly plastic shower caps on the heads
Debra....I have no comment to make to you, except that your post is a crack up. Oh, to be young and free!!!!!

Yes, I am flip flopping days again. I have to take my DS to the doctor this morning so I must hurry. You should here him breathing, it is so labored. I feel so bad for him. I hope the doctor figures out what he needs so he can get better soon.
DS #1 is at home again as well so it's another exciting day at the family hospital
Be back this afternoon,

Oh Nicole, I hope DS gets some relief from the chest congestion. Bronchitis maybe? I hope not pneumonia! Good luck, and I take my cap off to you for persisting with your workouts during this germ infestation.
I just took a quick look at the new P90X+ workouts, and didn't realize that they were all so short: 40-45 mins. I like that!! I'll definitely be ordering these.
Also, check out a post started by Fit Mom (Wendy) on the OD:

Okay...back again for personals...Picked up DD and had some lunch...she is getting her hair done in a bit...so I will try to catch up quickly!
Tracy...
LOL about the spelling 'Exer'! It actually took me a minute to find the thread this morning...but then I am moving a little slothlike. Well, at least you like the weight work from Cathe's latest...I actually like the cardio...but then I am inherently lazy, so that may be why...lol. I have never watched "The Biggest Loser"...interesting though...sounds like GF needs to watch it before she gets surgery. Hope you are feeling better today.
Traci...
You were cracking me up this morning with the whole "Deb" mix up thing!! Silly woman! I used to date a Steve...but that was a long, long time ago. So funny that you actually went to my picture trail and still didn't clue in! Weren't you just complaining last week that you guys don't get as many Xmas cards as you used to? Maybe that is because you don't know who those people are...LOL! So sorry for all of your recent traumas...I know yo must be just exhausted with worry for everything that is going on with your December karma. Does this karma get better in January, I hope? Maybe you just need to start counting down the days to the new year. Glad you enjoyed your outing with your GF yesterday....sounds like you definitely needed it. Your recovery week looks good. Tracy is stirring the pot a bit...I think she is enjoying all of my craziness! CB actually got a web cam so that XDH could watch DD on Xmas morning. Can you believe my 'boyfriend' is so concerned about DD's relationship with her dad? He is incredibly thoughtful. I think we should all get webcams....you can talk online free through Skype! And have video conferences! Everyone will get to see my jammies soon enough. I have a pair of bright Carolina blue jammies with Tarheels all over them that are my favorite. I wear them all the time...I actually need to get another pair so I can wear them more places. I didn't even think about the connotations of getting him bedding. I got him some Carolina jammies, too...What do you think that means?
Sandra...
Hope you had a good time with Eoin this morning. I felt so much better after doing yoga yesterday. All my DOMS were gone...I just love that man!! So sorry you are feeling under the weather. I hope it is just a small sniffle. LOL about you and the potato chips...You crack me up!
Carol...
Well, it sounds like you are getting a lot accomplished! It's funny how Christmas sneaks up on you all of a sudden and you are completely rushed! Good job catching up on your workouts though all the craziness.
Jeanette...
Glad you enjoyed StretchX...that was never one of my favorites. Sorry your wrists are bothering you. Have fun at the Xmas program tonight!
Teddygirl...
Have fun at the Xmas party. Just eat your way on through...and exercise like a madwoman!
Laurie...
Cool that you are off work until the New Year! How nice that you get the time off! How is DD doing with her play?? Isn't it this weekend? Hope DH isn't catching your bug...Doesn't he know to spray down in Lysol so as not to catch the yuckies??
Okay...got to take DD to get her hair done...My diva! Back in while to finish up personals...

Party is over and I glad, lots I can say, but going to hold off on negative reviews.
Sucks, we didn’t get our $1000 bonus, first time we didn’t, thanks to our f^^ing Trustee}( they're evil}( Our Company has more than enough money to give out, our Trustee Sucks! They are really ripping our company apart, let me put it like this only 12 workers here and we have 12 Trustee’s WTF do we need with 12 Trustee, I guess we have our own personal Trustee! Whaaaaaat Eveeeeeeer!
Eatery…………
I didn’t do to bad; I had 3 baby ribs, 2 wing dings and my spinach salad, nibbled on cheese & crackers and even had a diet pop. I’m done eating for today. Tomorrow, back too clean eating, YIPPEE, boy am I glad.
Teddy made Salmon for tonight's dinner, he'll be eating alone. When I get home I plan to do Plyo, I'll see how I'm feeling.

Okay...back again....
Teddygirl....
Sorry you guys didn't get your bonus...That really su**s!! At least Ted made something healthy for dinner!
Traci...
I am with Sandra on little Matthew...another week or 2 and he will be off all machines and headed towards big weight gains. He will be just fine....although I know it is hared for everyone right now.
Sandra...
Yes...Zicam is awesome! You must try it...completely holistic. I actually thought about the shower cap scenario too! That may be the answer..and just think of all the great Xmas pics you will have! What kind of mother are you if you haven't actually read 'The Polar Express'?!? You must check it out from the library! No telling what kind of web page I could end up with now...especially once I get a half bottle of wine in me, apparently! I am sure you guys did win the curling match since 90% of Americans have never heard of it...LOL!
Nicole...
So sorry your little one is still feeling so poorly. My DD had something like that last year that turned into a touch of asthma...but she was on albuterol and antibiotics for a couple of weeks and she was fine! Flip flop those workouts all you need to lady...as long as they get done...especially with all you have going on. How is DH behaving today? More like an adult, I hope.
Jeanette...
Glad you had a good session with your Boys last night! You must get in some Eoin this week...I just love him! Your make your own burrito yesterday sounded yummy. I just adore Mexican food of all varieties!
Okay...off again to take the diva to gymnastics...Then I will get my workout in...SH bis and tris. I also have to report, since I am apparently telling all lately anyway, that I cut my buttocks in the shower last night...How did this happen, you may ask...I sit on the floor of the shower to shave my legs (inherently lazy, remember) and I apparently scratched my bottom on the tile floor. I just felt like I needed to report this in case some strange pictures of me showed up on the internet! No telling what else I did last night...LOL!

Happy Thursday Afternoon- getting ready to do DrillMax but needed a little diversion. :7
Glad you all enjoyed Your chuckle for the day::: Yes I believe the Xers are the primary source of girl time in my life. It could be worse- I could be sitting on porn sites! :7
Ok- Sandy update….. after much talking with vet we decided our kindest & best course of action is to keep Sandy on the anti-vomit pills indefinitely. If/when she stops being “normal” on them then we will proceed with the other option. Theres no way of telling how far along her condition is (which is either cancer or/intestinal tumor) so we may be talking a year or a week…. Its definitely live each day to its fullest. I can live with this… already today she is back to resting well & playing nicely – all it took was the anti-vomit meds.
On to other lives in X-land
:7 :7 :7 :7 :7 :7
:::::Sandra:::::
Good girl! You’ll be doing round 3 of X in no time with the new videos! ~ thanks for the link…inspiring stuff I tell ya. The more I read about HUGE success stories it really boils down to perfect eating along with the right workout for your body doesn’t it? ~ Thank you for the preemie explanation- I do what I rarely do & regurgitated the info to at least 3 family members today WITHOUT checking the validity – Ya better be right Dr!!:7 !! ~ The recipe is called Asparagus Hash browns – they make it heavy on the potatoes & use it for breakfast – I am going super heavy on the asparagus, red bell peppers, onions and lite on potatoes to make it my Xmas dinner veggie dish. I have no problem posting the recipe if you’d like. ~ LOL on the turnoff! :7 You must go ewwwwwwww when you see my DH! LOLOLOL FABULOUS workout my dear!!!
:::::Jeanette:::::
Oh girl- talk cobwebs!!! :7 Today I filled the blender with all my green smoothie stuff- turned to get the top and 20 minutes later was sitting at the table eating a burrito- WTH???? LOLOL ~ Sorry about your wrists… I use the Push Up Bars now so mine are much better with pushups- GOOD GIRL doing StretchX! :7
:::::Debra:::::
ROF on the buttocks report! :7 We do indeed share far more with each other than I have ever shared with in-person friends! You are just too much! :7 ~ You bet your sweet bippy I am counting down til January 1st!!! It just lasts for 6 weeks starting in November…I think in another life I must have been a mass murderer that worked only holidays… This is my life penance! ~ I shall have to start shopping for new jammies for the retreat- :7 I simply cannot have you see me in my torn-stained sweats! I think we should take a group pic in our jammies too!!! ~ ROF :7 on the song! You are a wicked woman these days… that’s OK- I recall a full year of all sorts of behavior my mother would blush at after my divorce- add no child into the mix & you can only IMAGINE!
:::::TeddyGirl:::::
OUCH on the bonus….. I guess its hard to not get attached to things that are always there…. I know you’ll be Ok tho. Good job staying within reason at the holiday party:7
:::::Nicole:::::
PLEEZE stop trying to out do me on December bad karma!!!! You get those kids & DH under control tonight!!!:7 Big hugs to you sweetie!!!
:::::LAURIE:::::
Great you like your hair! :7 That always makes a girl feel pretty! ~ Lol on your folks & internet….

Sorry about your holiday stress….. I’ll look for the topper if you take care of vets, Drs & stressed out long distance relatives OK?? And don’t forget to do my workouts too OK?? ~ Wouldn’t it be GREAT to change lives with a snap of the finger?:7 There are times my life is so dull & I’m bored so on those days I could take on someone’s life who is stressed out & vice versa…. Ahhhhh that sounds so good about now. I’d change with Sandra & Lice or Debra's & butt scrapes but NOT Nicole & a pouting DH & NOT Tracy & her rude parents @ school…. :7 LOL Lets both take 10 deep breaths & remind ourselves that its all just once a year & will end up perfectly! {{{hugs}}}
Ok gals- time to get a sweatin' .... Got my Cathe Calendar today... WHY OH WHY does the darn thing not magically transform me into a motivated workout machine? :7 ;-)
Glad you all enjoyed Your chuckle for the day::: Yes I believe the Xers are the primary source of girl time in my life. It could be worse- I could be sitting on porn sites! :7
Ok- Sandy update….. after much talking with vet we decided our kindest & best course of action is to keep Sandy on the anti-vomit pills indefinitely. If/when she stops being “normal” on them then we will proceed with the other option. Theres no way of telling how far along her condition is (which is either cancer or/intestinal tumor) so we may be talking a year or a week…. Its definitely live each day to its fullest. I can live with this… already today she is back to resting well & playing nicely – all it took was the anti-vomit meds.
On to other lives in X-land
:7 :7 :7 :7 :7 :7

Good girl! You’ll be doing round 3 of X in no time with the new videos! ~ thanks for the link…inspiring stuff I tell ya. The more I read about HUGE success stories it really boils down to perfect eating along with the right workout for your body doesn’t it? ~ Thank you for the preemie explanation- I do what I rarely do & regurgitated the info to at least 3 family members today WITHOUT checking the validity – Ya better be right Dr!!:7 !! ~ The recipe is called Asparagus Hash browns – they make it heavy on the potatoes & use it for breakfast – I am going super heavy on the asparagus, red bell peppers, onions and lite on potatoes to make it my Xmas dinner veggie dish. I have no problem posting the recipe if you’d like. ~ LOL on the turnoff! :7 You must go ewwwwwwww when you see my DH! LOLOLOL FABULOUS workout my dear!!!
:::::Jeanette:::::
Oh girl- talk cobwebs!!! :7 Today I filled the blender with all my green smoothie stuff- turned to get the top and 20 minutes later was sitting at the table eating a burrito- WTH???? LOLOL ~ Sorry about your wrists… I use the Push Up Bars now so mine are much better with pushups- GOOD GIRL doing StretchX! :7
:::::Debra:::::
ROF on the buttocks report! :7 We do indeed share far more with each other than I have ever shared with in-person friends! You are just too much! :7 ~ You bet your sweet bippy I am counting down til January 1st!!! It just lasts for 6 weeks starting in November…I think in another life I must have been a mass murderer that worked only holidays… This is my life penance! ~ I shall have to start shopping for new jammies for the retreat- :7 I simply cannot have you see me in my torn-stained sweats! I think we should take a group pic in our jammies too!!! ~ ROF :7 on the song! You are a wicked woman these days… that’s OK- I recall a full year of all sorts of behavior my mother would blush at after my divorce- add no child into the mix & you can only IMAGINE!
:::::TeddyGirl:::::
OUCH on the bonus….. I guess its hard to not get attached to things that are always there…. I know you’ll be Ok tho. Good job staying within reason at the holiday party:7
:::::Nicole:::::

Hi all,
I just don't know how people do it. All that has been going on at work this past week has revolved around eating junk. Cookies, cake,chocolate, pizza, just cra* after cra* and I haven't eaten any of it, and I get teased all of the time. After last month's hormonal disaster, there is no way I am chancing anything. It is no wonder people are overweight. They don't eat because they are hungry, they eat because everyone else is eating. Someone brought it white chocolate covered mint oreos and left them in my office. I haven't eaten one yet, but they sure look good and everyone says they are delicious.
Laurie- I always have good luck getting stuff rather quickly from Amazon. Are they eating a lot of junk at your work? I haven't watched TBL in it's entirety, so I guess I'll find out. It probably still boils down to restricted calorie intake, but the composition of the calories I'm sure has a huge impact.
Jeanette - I think if you want to try something new, then I'd get the Hi/Lo dome workout. It just gets you moving the body in a different way, which is good. But if you really like step, the step workout is great. Combos 3 & 4 come the closest to really getting me breathing like I'm jogging. It does have a learning curve though, but for me that is half of the fun of it!
Carol - Sorry the school work is so hard. Studying does take some getting used to. You have to reactivate the brain cells and neurons to start memorizing.
Sandra - I love SFH. It is a nice combo of moves, even though I can't do them all. What is the verdict on the lice visit? What is your plan for the new X workouts? Do you think they will suggest a way to incorporate them into the 90 day rotation or are we on our own? I think I'm going to do my own leg thing.
Debra - Maybe CB will make your boo boo all better!
Traci - Glad there is an option for Sandy. I guess you just have to play it by ear.
Nicole - Sorry about all of the sickness, but I love the meez. You should be proud of yourself for being able to get your workouts in. Sorry about DH. Men can be such little shi&5!
TG- I'm there with you on the food. Sorry about the bonus. Oh well, I hope you didn't have it spent already.
I'm going to workout. I think it will be just upper only today and maybe yoga, and then I'll run tomorrow.

Just did a quick read of the new posts and wanted to say to Tracy:
In one of the recent BB e-flyers they stated that the new workouts will come with 3 new rotations that incorporate the Plus workouts with the regular X workouts. There will be Lean+, Classic+ and Doubles+. Sounds good, no? You're a stronger person than I for resisting every bite of that food. I'd be tempted to nibble a bit on something, for sure. But I guess I don't get the hormonal reactions you get, so the deterent isn't quite as strong.
Traci....That's ambivalent news about Sandy, isn't it? I'm glad she has something to ease her symptoms, but obviously the long-term outlook is terribly sad. I hope she have another year left with you. You are probably the best "mom" she could have asked for. The recipe sounds really yum!! I'll look for it when I get the magazine.
Debra....So, is the Diva re-divafied? I'm going to look up a curling website for you, when I get the chance. I swear it's a real game, and REALLY popular! The American team even had matching uniforms (big bucks, baby!). LMFAO about your evening. CB will never come visit again without a bottle of wine in his hands.
Teddygirl....Man, that sucks about the bonus money. Such a minor act of generosity can go along way. What are they thinking?
Gotta go feed kids and get them to the Xmas concert. Have a great night!

Hi there gals. Just thought I would pop in to say HI!!!! It has been really crazy around here. I did re-restart the X this week, so I am officially on my 1st week again. I had to take about a two week break. The new additions to the X sounds exciting.
I don't have much time to chat right now, but I hope that all is well with everyone. Talk to you soon.
