[Fit_mommy]

Good Morning Girls.

Monday and Tuesday were both rest days. TODAY I AM WORKING OUT!!!! I got a full night's sleep last night so I have NO EXCUSE! It's either a one of the SHOCK CARDIO work outs or CORE SYN for me.

Today is my Friday. Have off from work for Christmas Eve. YAY! Good thing too because I STILL HAVE CHRISTMAS SHOPPING TO DO!!!!!

Hope everyone is doing well. Sorry I missed checking in y'day.

TTYL~

Hi Wendy and all you other peeps

I'm so sorry to have gone missing for the past several days, but it has just been crazy at work and with Christmas shopping, as I'm sure you all know! Plus I'm down to one computer at my house so we all fight over it at night and I'm usually on the losing end Typical.

I've got one more gift to get, which I hope to get today, and then I can officially say I'm DONE with shopping.

I did Jillian Michael's NMTZ this morning. I've only done that once before and I forgot how good it is! I just ordered BFBM and 30 Day Shred in response to this thread I read over on VF yesterday and plan on doing a 30 day shred rotation. I've been looking for stuff that I can do in my living room without too much disruption to the kids while they're sleeping and I think this will fit the bill. It has be so cold here lately that it's just painful to workout in that garage lately.

Hoep everyone is looking forward to Christmas and ready for it, too! I'll bbl to see who is around.

Jen

Hi Ladies,

No workout for me this morning. I had to be available for the furniture delivery guys. They arrived promptly at 8am and set up the futon. Now my girls will have a place to sleep when they get here.

I just found out today, that we are doing a white elephant gift with my inlaws again this year. Really...are you kidding me...I already bought gifts for everyone-and what I bought for my nieces would not work for my boys. On top of the fact that Jerod hated it last year as he did not understand the concept of your gift being taken away etc. Fortunately DH traded him. I'm so mad about this! On top of having to wrap all my gifts tonight, I have to figure out some other types of gifts that would be appropriate for anyone. I am pi$$ed!

On the brighter side...my SC dvd's should be delivered today! We should be getting out of work a little early so I will be gift card shopping I guess. Not much else I can do with such short notice.

Wendy-Yikes, you still have shopping to do. I didn't know it until just a few minutes ago that I apparently have more shopping to do also. I think it might actually save me some money but I won't have time to return anything until after xmas. So I'm actually spending more now. Can you tell I'm really mad about this.

Jen-I picked up NMTZ for $10 at target this past weekend. I'm looking forward to giving it a try. I can't even imagine trying to w/o in my garage. Glad you able to find some w/o's you can do inside.

Laura-so glad to hear that your DH is finally on the mend. How scary that must've been for you. Now your DB's family is sick. That sure doesn't make for a very fun Holiday. Hope everyone feels better soon. I can't wait to give SC a try. I may try one of the HIIT w/o's tomorrow.

Hi Jacque and Lori. BBL

Laura: Sorry to hear about all the sickies you're tending to! I hope they're all better in time for Christmas. Ugh, swine flu is no fun Glad to hear he finally has that behind him. Don't worry too much about the workouts. Mine have been very hit or miss lately, too, and I'm figuring that the consistency will return once the holidays are over. I've been soooo exhausted lately!

Diana: I really liked NMTZ. I started it using 10 lb. dbs and it quickly kicked my azz! I ended up dropping to five's for the second half of the workout. What the heck is a white elephant gift? I've never heard of that. No fair that you're just finding this out now! Hate when that happens...

Is it almost five yet?

Just a quick post to say that I did HIIT 30/30 this morning and it was fantastic! I really liked it. Simple straight forward moves that left you gasping for air work out! Loved it!

Hey Ladies,

My team was the last one to be let go today. I basically had to ask my supervisor if we could leave...why you ask....because all the other managers had let there teams go home at noon. I finally got out of there at 3:45. I went grocery shopping and stopped at Blockbuster to pick up another gift I can use for the white elephant gift exchange.

Jen-the white elephant gift has a couple of meanings...but in our case instead of giving a gift to a specific person (whom I've already bought for), we would take 4 general gifts (one for each member of my family), my sil's family does the same and my MIL only buys 1 gift. All the gifts are put under the tree and we draw numbers. Whoever has number one selects any gift under the tree and opens it. Whoever has number 2, they have the option to take the gift from number one, or choose a gift from under the tree. Once a gift has been stolen twice, it's considered frozen and not available to select anymore. Once the last person opens their gift, person number one also has the choice to steal any unfrozen gift. This way each person ends up with 1 gift. I don't have a problem with this concept, other than what I already purchased for my 16 and 18 yr old nieces could not be used by anyone else.

I need to get busy wrapping gifts.
