Good morning Robin & All Peeps who follow!
Robin I know those 'running late' all too well. Hope you get to where you're going in good timing and enjoy In The Ring
On my agenda today will be iTread 2/40. It's been a long time since I visited with my iTreads so I'll see how long I can do without my Cardio Coaches lol
Have a Great Day Everyone!
Brrr its cold out here today 32 degrees

Love the Peeple!!!
Needed a chuckle on a cold Monday morning.
So much to do, so little time.
This week the boys wear their contact lenses, so this morning has been crazy! Right contact, right kid, right eye... No wait, correct contact, correct kid, correct eye!!!
4 year olds are NOT good at telling you that the lens is NOT in. So when I find it stuck to my finger 1/2 hour later, I'm kinda wondering how the heck he hasn't walked into a freaking wall yet!!!! He said, he just looks out the other eye. Seriously guys, I need a second husband, one who is home pretty regularly to help me!!! HELP
I think I'm hanging precariously on the edge
Once I drop DS off at school I'm seriously considering curling up with a book and my 16th cup of coffee and going back to bed!
Catherine- I made a pot just for you!!!
A rest day can be a REST DAY right????
Maybe I'll hang out on the forum and answer all the posts. That might be fun.
Anyone else around today TALK ME DOWN!!!!!!
Robin- you can appear busy by repeatedly sending me good vibes and fun posts!
Vilma- it's cold here today too. And I'm loving it. Good excuse to stay in right? In sweats with coffee and pretend to clean!!!!
Hope everyone has a great day
Me included

Guten Morgen! Since I'm sure Ellie has completely demolished the pot she put on for Catherine, I'll start us a second pot...LOL!
Today is my rest day so Ellie and I are doing nothing, right Ellie?
Robin--Have a great day!
Vilma--Stay warm and enjoy your itread!
Catherine--Thank you for the good vibes and same to you!
Ellie--ELLIE! B.R.E.A.T.H.E. I can hear frazzled in every word you typed this morning!!! (Although I have to say, once again, your sense of humor is quite grand and that always shines through, too.) I'm all for the second husband idea. Would it be wrong for me to request Ryan Phillippe instead of someone to help? I could just look at him all day and that would be lovely...Sorry, I digress. LOL!
Yes, today is a REST DAY for you. Hang out at the forum all day and answer all the questions if it makes you sit, sip your coffee in your sweats, and rest, HA!! Do you ever read the newspaper? I find that takes me off edge because I have to sit, flip pages, pour over stuff, etc. and I'm able to just get lost in it. Just a thought!!
OK, off to wake up Houdini. I'm taking my car into the shop to be fixed today so need to run...

Morning Peeple!
I need to kick it in gear today after a weekend of overindulging and weak workouts. I'm thinking cardio fusion.....whaddya think? If I survive, I'll throw in Lauren Brooks short w/o too.
Robin~ What is "In the Ring?" I'm assuming it is a workout but I've never heard of it. Is it boxing? I would love a boxing w/o as I already have a heavy bag and gloves. I hope Cathe's MMA includes some bag work.
Catherine~ Thanks for the good vibes...I'll need them today. Are you doing the 4DS upper body later? That is one of my favs and I noticed you posted it is one of yours too. Have fun!
Vilma~ I bought a bunch of iTread/Climbs when they were running a deal but have only tried one climb so far. I like CC so much that I always seems to go that route. Stay warm today!
Ellie~ I can't imagine how hard it must be to put contact lenses in your DS's eyes. I wear them on occasionally and half the time I don't know if they are in or not I have resigned to wearing bi-focals...UGH! I vote for curling up with a book!
Wendy~ Enjoy your rest day.
Waves hello to Dani, Laura, Karin, Heather....and all peeps who pop in later.

Ellie, you don't need a second husband, you need a nanny or a drill sargent!
JJ, In the Ring is a kickbox workout by Amy Bento. Lots of fun.
Wendy, thank you for the caffeine refill!
Vilma, our weatherman says highs in the 30's all week, with snow flurries! I'm dreaming of the Virgin Islands.
Catherine, have a good Monday!

Oh, Ellie! LOL! Just read your "itty bitty flame throwing thread" and am chuckling here at my desk....
Dropped the car off to be fixed, yay! I had an "itty bitty accident" rear-ending someone to get on to the freeway. Luckily my car took all the damage (busted headlight, minor crumpled hood, etc.) and the other guy--a very nice gentleman--didn't want to file a claim because I had "a baby in the car." So Houdini saved the day because he felt sorry for me!!
But me, not wanting to spend the deductible, have been driving my beater mobile for 1.5 months but now the inspection sticker is expired, blah blah so it was time to get it fixed. It should be done by next week, which is nice....
I have had two cups of coffee and think I might have one more before I call it a day. I'll put the refill pot back on for us!!
Oh! Today my Cathe videos are arriving! I got High Step Training and Total Body Stretching. I previewed the Patrick G Play Ball DVD and it looks fun. It's very different from anything I've ever seen, lots of fun moves, but looks very challenging. I might start my week off with that one tomorrow. I was going to do it Sunday but due to the fact I was so tired, and my knees were a little cranky from all the Drill Max/Boot Camp from the week, I decided to save it for a "good" day.
Be back later!

I am on fire from the flames thrown and my head hurts from that last rock thrown in OD. But I think I'll survive. Nothing a little ice pack and Motrin won't cure!!!
The contact lenses are for the boys to develop peripheral vision and depth perception. They have both been wearing them since they were 3 and are very good about it. We finally were able to have extended wear so I didn't have to take them out every night and put them back in the next am. I hated doing that to them. These go in on Monday and come out on Friday every other week. But it seems that DH is always away for the in week!
I figured out the calf pain. It was from my new Ryka's. I added the Spankens or whatever they are called for added support and no pain after BM2 yesterday!!!
Wendy, thanks for the recipes. Bought the ingredients and am planning on a great meal tomorrow night. ( Yes, I will unplug the smoke detectors first)
JJ- I don't have cardio fusion, do I need it? I have the workouts on it. And hey if it's a premix, I'm in.

Good evening Peeps!
Well, I'm done with the work and the workout! Still following the November Cathe Rotation and did GS BSB... This is my first rotation ever so I'm psyched because I actually have enough of the DVD's to do it! Well, almost!
Robin: Thanks for starting us off every morning, rain or shine, busy or... well busy! Hope you enjoyed your ITR workout today!
Vilma: Keep warm! and hope you enjoyed your iTread today!
Catherine: enjoy UB and cardio... I probably should have added something more as I got heckled by DH that I wasn't even sweatin' so how could I possibly have gotten in a good workout?!? I said, "You try to do a Cathe workout or stuff a sock in it!" LOL
And then there's Ellie... Ellie Ellie Ellie... you certainly have been a busy girl today! itty bitty thread my a$$ (and THAT ain't itty bitty either!) HA! Please warn us when you want to start GREAT BIG THREAD we'll all go to Canada or Mexico to get out of the way! lol... it was very thought provoking and I wouldn't touch it topic with a 100' pole either... I just sat back and watch the fireworks! OOOOOHHHH, AAAAHHHHH! POW!!! I hope you got some rest in there somewhere! ok, 16 cups of coffee and rest don't necessarily go together in my book... Woman I would be bouncing off the friggin walls if I drank that much coffee (I hope you were just taking dramatic license there!) They'd need a ladder (as we have 20' ceilings in here) to peel me off!!! I hope you are off the ledge and back on the ground and feeling better! I love your sense of humor as well (like Wendy mentioned) and can't wait to see what you will do or say next!
Wendy: So sorry to hear about your little fender bender! I did that a few years back, not getting on the freeway, but sitting at a stop light... green means go right? I thought so, but the lady in front of me apparently didn't get the memo... surprising how much damage you can do going exactly 2 miles an hour! Unfortunately she wasn't as forgiving as your gent and a bit of a drama queen and the more she told the story (to the Dr's and the insurance) you'd have thought I hit her going 80 mph! but hey... I have let it go right?! Fill me in on your new workouts! I love the High STep, and have the Circuit one I think... but that's about the only "step" type workout I can do without ending up like a standing pretzel and a funny (contorted) look on my face! I am SO bad at steppin'!
JJ: Cardio fusion AND Lauren? you don't have to make up for everything in one night! but hey... if you can do it then more power to ya! PS... Ellie just found out about premixes the other day so she really didn't know what she was missin'! (sorry Ellie) So she has a lot of catchin' up to do!
Also waves to Karin, Laura, Heather and any other Peep that might check in later! YEAH! Monday is almost over!!
ETA: I had a PERVECT (no it wasn't a typo) solution to your 2nd husband dilemma but apparently I couldn't get to it in my email from work... I'll have to remember to forward it so I can attach it later!!! hope it isn't too risque!
