from yesterday.....
Kate, sorry your date night got canceled. Are you rescheduling?
Robin, no days off until Christmas? I remember those days when I worked in retail. It can take some of the magic out of the holidays if you let it.
Colleen, LOL at your story of getting hit with a beach ball. Did your SC come?
Becky, sugar cookie and gingerbread house decorating sound messy but fun!!
Wendy, LOL at the Santa in the brown uniform!
Angie, what an ordeal trying to get to the plane. Glad you are home safely and I am sure you are looking forward to your cruise!
Klaudia, glad you got to your doctor and she eased your fears.
Anne, normally yes my job does slow down this time of year but not this year. There is no end in sight....
So I went to work yesterday and Collin & Chris stayed home together (love that man!). Daycare is open today and their "Holiday Party" was rescheduled to today. I made the kids in his class little christmas tree lollipops and for my food contribution I am taking PB&J sandwiches cut out with x-mas tree cookie cutters! I had to rearrange my schedule at work to be there, but oh well...
Today is my Friday - last working day of the week
I am still sick - coughing, blowing, and I am convinced this morning I have a fever but I can't find the thermometer. STS Shock Cardio did not come yesterday as scheduled - scheduled for delivery today. Collin and I went to the pool after I got home from work yesterday which was good for us both, but not the same as a "formal" workout.
I really need to locate that thermometer. Does anyone else have certain items in their house that just NEVER seem to be in their place???

SC should be here in a few hours! I can't wait! Today I'm baking the cinnamon bread for my neighbors-I never got around to it last week. And my bf is stopping by at noon on her way to the airport. Of course, her kids' gifts aren't here yet so she'll pick them up on her way home. Workout will be PUB pyramid up premix and one of the SC workouts I hope.
Katie, hope you don't have a fever! They let you bring pb to school? We aren't allowed to for parties-only for our own kids' lunches-the ones with allergies have to sit at a separate table. Cute gift idea
Kate, I am so with you on the sugar binges-it is more addicting than crack! Not that I've tried crack, but you know! Gina's test will be fine-don't worry. Have a great time tonight!
Nina, no mommy guilt!! You are with your boys ALL the time-an 1.5 hours is nothing! You need mommy time too you know. My goodness, I'm a wicked mom-I've been shipping my kids off to my mom's for overnights since they were weaned! And I've gone shopping for hours at a time without them. You're an awesome mom! Have fun at the zoo-ours got a new baby seal who's blind We have the Arctic Ring of Life so he should be ok now.
Happy workout Becky!

I'm back ! I just wrote all about the workout and LOST It ~! UGHHHHHh
But will try again .
I LOVED Athletic Step ! It had a great feel to it for me and was straight forward stuff.......fun but also had me breathing hard ! I got the choreography pretty much right away. She uses combos from other workouts and the hardest part was not doing them as they were done in the ones I already knew !
I had trouble with the core crunch/turn but got that towards the end.
Great music, I especially like the song in the last combo !
The music in the stretch is from another workout- couldn't quite place it but I recognized it right away.
Can't wait to try everything else !
I did preview Step Moves and while it will be great fun ONE DAY, it looks like it's got some fancy stuff that will take a while for me to get down !!!!
Not sure which I'll do tomorrow ! I'm so excited about all the new stuff and DH just shakes his head ! He doesn't understand how ANYONE could be excited about ANY workout. Poor guy, doesn't know what he's missing!

Hi Everyone!
I did Cardio Circuit this morning and it was good. I think next time I will go heavier with the weights and shorten the breaks. I think my cardio capacity is peaked with all the shoveling. Tomorrow I am going to try one of the MMA ones. Not sure yet - I hope to preview them all today and decide.
Nina, sorry about the SC mishap. I hope it makes it to you before Christmas.
Kate, hope you survived the smelly diaper. I hope everything goes well with Gina's test. Enjoy date night tonight.
Becky, thanks for the review of Athletic Step. I want to try them all but not enough time in the day.
Katie, I am glad it is your Friday. Tomorrow is my Friday. Have fun at Collin's party and let us know which SC workout you decide to do.
Klaudia, what will your first workout for SC be?

Hi Everyone-
Do you mind if I join your check-in? I used to post on the Burn the Fat thread, but when I got back from vacation last June it wasn’t active anymore. A little about me – I have been doing Cathe workouts for probably about the last 6 years. I live in Virginia with my husband, 2 daughters, and mother. Just got back from vacation last week so I am trying to get back to clean eating, but the transition has been slow! I am anxiously waiting for STS cardio to be delivered. It was out for delivery with UPS yesterday then got rescheduled for today. Maybe it will be there when I get home from work. Hope the day goes well for everyone!

Clintonya, Welcome to C&Tville! YOu have a busy house! DOes your mom watch your kids while you work? Return from vaca is always so hard!
I'm a SAHM to 3 girls, ages 7, 5, & 1. DH is a plumbing contractor. I'm currently recovering from a knee injury from Insanity and a shoulder injury from my mom's driving! LOL! So all I can do right now is the ellip. At least it's something!
Better go tend to the chillun'! Peace!

Thanks Kate. My mom used to be able to help out a lot with them, but as she has gotten older it is more of us taking care of her. I work from home in the late afternoon/early evening so that helps a lot. My oldest DD just turned 16 in Nov so it isn’t as hard as it once was. My younger DD just turned 10 on Dec 16. Sorry about the knee injury – and the mom shoulder injury I hope it gets better soon!
Can’t focus at work today – I will be glad when tomorrow afternoon comes and we have a couple of days off! I have eaten pretty good today mainly because I don’t have anything around bad to eat. I usually workout around 5:30 or so depending on when I have to take the girls to dance. Not sure what I am going to do today – was hoping to do one of the new cardio workouts but the DVDs still haven’t been delivered and sometimes UPS comes as late as 7:30.

hi clintonya and welcome! hope your package comes soon. i am a sahm to 2 boys, 3.5 and 1.5. i have done cathe for the last 5 yrs and love love love to run. anxiously awaiting my sts too.
kate, do you think your knee is ready for sc, or will you try something more gentle first? hope you get out tonight.
klaudia, how did the bread turn out? for my 2nd batch i doubled the oil and omitted the applesauce (naughty, i know), but it turned out so decadantly moist everyone said (i did not partake). get your wo in? thanks for the nice words.
colleen , did you do the circuit one that has a link up? or was it a diff circuit? there are so many, i get confused.
becky, what wo is athletic step most like?
the zoo was such fun. the morning started cold, but by the time we left it was warmed up. so good to be out with the kids. i had a pretty good time with my dad, only to come home and find out my mom's health is failing worse - she needs an mri for her brain, hypertension is worse, rhematoid is worse, and she has a major ulcer. at least both cancers are in remission, but she is getrting closer and closer to assisted living. it is scary. anyways, to cope with stress, i ran a few more miles and did some ub weights. at least i did not reach for food, so that is good. i just feel so stuck. my dad is 60 going on 40, and my mom is 60 going on 80. it is sad and quite hard. now i need to go wrap a few presents, and figure out the rest of my day! thank goodness i have no cookies in this house, they'd be gone. bbl

Hey girls,
Quick check in for me. We're busy busy busy but having a great time. I'm exhausted though and need a quick nap before our friends arrive this afternoon.
Multi-step at Lifetime was great fun this morning and then to Chipotle for lunch and to see some good friends who just had a baby.
Tonight is deep dish pizza at giordano's. Good thing I got that WO in!
My SC is out for delivery but it's been snowing all day. Hopefully it comes. I'd really like to try one tomorrow.
Just finished up with some wrapping and now off to rest.
I'm reading and will be better at catching up in Jan. Thinking of you all though and miss you!!
Enjoy your SC!!

Holy zoinks, batman! It's already 5 o'clock where I live! Where did the day go?
Angie, thanks for the update--I'm drooling over your pizza tonight.
Nina, you know I can relate about the aging parent stuff. {{{{HUGS}}}} I'm glad you had a good visit with your dad.
Clintonya, welcome! I live near Kate and work full-time. I'm the smart aleck/slacker/eats like a pig member of the group. If you don't like sarcasm, I'll try to keep it to a minimum. But I make no promises; I can't help cracking jokes!
Kate, great news about your friend! Is date night still on?
Colleen, great work out! My STS arrived today, but it went to my old address. J is going to drop it off tonight.
Becky, sounds fun! I love step and the more complicated the choreography, the better! But I'm sure I'll like Athletic step too. Maybe I'll try that one first to get my groove on.
Klaudia, you sound good today, I hope that's true.
Katie, feel better. Can you baby your cold?
Hi Robin and Lisa! Who did I miss?
I gotta run, I'm getting a massage at 5:30. I'll try to check in earlier tomorrow.

Thanks morris – it came today. The workouts look great, was able get in about ½ of athletic step this evening. I hope yours comes soon. Glad you had fun at the zoo and hope all goes well with your mom and your dad.
Thanks Anne – sarcasm is fine I probably do too much myself, but helps to get me through the day sometimes
Thanks Wendy – We just got about 12 inches of snow here which is barely melting since the temps are staying so cold. I know what you mean about the eating. I need to do a lot better.
Hi to anyone else I missed!
