Good morning ladies...

Today will be another cardio day for me...I was thinking of doing one of the step workouts on the cardio hits or volume 1 DVD and maybe some abs too...

We had a good meeting last night at church about confirmation for Lauren. Boy, there are alot of requirements. I don't remember doing hardly any of these things. But, I did grow up in a small parrish..

Ok, gotta get those kids out of bed!!

Talk to you later..

OH and I was just reading about the latest shock cardio to be filmed. I am getting more and more ready for it..Can't wait!!

Good Morning Kathy!, Everyone!

I worked myself up thinking about all the prepping for Thanksgiving this morning. I really need to start doing some major shopping. Going to hit Walmart today and the grocery store. I think I need to get a turkey soon! Joanne, I know you're going away, what are you other gals doing for the holiday?

Kathy: have fun with your step workout today!

I'm heading down now, and since I found the remote control, going to do Round 31 from Turbo Kick! .....

Hi ladies!! Not a great workout this morning. I don't know - just wasn't feeling it. I did the LowMax/Imax3 workout from Hardcore Extreme. It wasn't the workout - I just had no energy. But I did about 40 minutes. I think part of it was the music is so low in that workout - I can barely hear it.

Kathy, I hear ya on the confirmation requirements. Jameson is making his and it's crazy. I get overwhelmed when I even look at his notebook. He was to interview like 10 different people from the parish. There's a bunch of other stuff that we really need to get started on that I can't remember now. He also needs to earn a total of 45 services hours this year - 20 for confirmation and 25 for the honor society. And, we get to do this three years in a row. Ian will be next, then Colin.

Chris, hope you like round 31!! What did you make with the ground turkey last night? The good thing about hosting a holiday (for me, at least!) is it forces me to clean up and organize my house! I'm getting a little concerned - I called our usual boarding place for Tully and they are booked for Thanksgiving. We have to find somewhere else to board her. I don't like putting her somewhere unfamiliar. DH is going to make some calls today.

The kids are all getting their H1N1 shots at school today. I'm the only one in the house who hasn't gotten one. At least if I get sick I won't have to worry about infecting the rest of the family!

BBL...

OH MY GAWD!

Round 31 was so freakin fun and kicked my ASS with sweating! My HR got up to 180 and I almost felt like puking!

I did the 2 minutes of abs at the end and then did Med Ball Abs from ab circuits.

I am totally in love with this workout!

Joanne: The "sprinkler" is THE funnest move, isn't it???

Yee HAW!

 

[Boingo1]

Hey Joanne!

We posted at the same time!

OMG, you guys are scaring me about confirmation. what grades do they make theirs in? I think our church is like 10th or 11th grade???

I absolutely LOVED Round 31, the music was so fun!! You should have done that today.

Oh so last night, I didn't use ground turkey. I made spaghetti. Mixed it with red spaghetti sauce for the boys, and they had grilled turkey kielbasa on the side. For me, I used the Ronzoni Smart taste spaghetti (more fiber) and used Ragu Light Parmesan Alfredo Sauce and mixed in fresh summer squash and broccoli. It was SO easy and SOOOO good! Definitley a good easy quick meal!

Yes, my house needs cleaning big time, and the only time I clean it GOOD GOOD is when we have company. You're right, Joanne!

Better get on it!

Chris, I'm so glad you liked round 31! Oh, I forgot about the sprinkler move. Very fun!! Yes, I should have done that today! I have KPC scheduled for Saturday - I was already planning to do a TurboKick instead. Mmmm, that meal sounds really good!

We make our confirmation in the beginning of 8th grade, but they prepare in 7th grade. Well, actually next year they'll be making it in February instead of October cause they said kids stop going to CCD in 8th grade after they make their confirmation. So, they changed it to Feb. Not a popular decision.

Back to work...

Good morning!! Totally crazy morning.... had to get Larry to the airport early, so we had to be out of the house at about the time the boys are sometimes waking up. Had to drop off the boys at a friend's house to take them to school. You know how crazy it is to get kids out of the house in the morning -- boy do I owe her big time!!!

Chris, that workout sounds like a blast for you -- 180 -- awesome! But, you've got to clue us in on what the sprinkler is!!!

Because I didn't have a lot of time, I did a mish-mosh of kbell and barre. Joanne, I'm sort of feeling like you sounded -- not such a great workout -- oh well!!

Thanksgiving.... well, Larry is on his way to Madison to finally clean out his parents house so it can be sold. Going to be tough for him!! A lot of it's been done, but in some ways it's now down to the really hard stuff. Hmmm, do we keep these letters written from grandma? That kind of stuff. He has a return flight home on Tuesday, but he is going to actually drive back with truck, trailer, and two canoes. I think he is nuts, but he really wants those canoes. So, we will be apart for tgiving, I think.... I just don't think he'll be back here by then even though I know he really wants to be back home quickly. The boys and I are going to friends and it will be a good time. We cleaned up pretty well last weekend since we had people in for dinner Sunday night. I know what you mean about that bonus of having company!!

Oh, my dishwasher seems busted! I've run the same load about three times now, and they are just all cloudy and yuck. I tried one more thing this morning, but I'm about to give up and hand wash. Last night's dishes are still all over the counter -- I hate that more than anything!!

gotta get busy.... have a great day!

Hi ladies...

Just finished up with Step works and I did the ab workout on that cardio hits DVD. I think it was from pure strength back and biceps workout...

Joanne: I know all the stuff. We got the packet last night. They have to do a saint report, a letter to the pastor and the volunteer stuff. It was overwhelming!! They were stressing that they come back to CCD after confirmation too. Hopefully Lauren will want to do it. I think it would be good for her..

Chris: Your dinner sounded yummy. I usually make myself the healthy stuff too. The rest of them complain when I try to make them healthy..HAHA Our parish confirms in the 8th grade. Like Joanne, in 7th grade they start the preparations. They are tested in April of next year and then the 8th grade test is in December and confirmation is usually in March. Lauren will make her Confirmation in 2011. Wow!! As far as Thanksgiving, it will just be Vic and I and the kids here. I already bought the turkey and the fixing. I usually make a pumpkin pie and I may make an apple pie too. Not sure on that one..

Beth: I hope that Larry makes it back to you guys before Thanksgiving. That would be so lonely for him and you all would miss him too.. Oh no! Sounds like a new dishwasher is in the future?! I hate my dishes sitting too long too

Talk to you all later!!
