Hmmm. tabatacize is all kinds of little jumps. I don't know what that word is supposed to indicate although I've heard it used for a while. never heard a definition.
I am not liking a long step front and center on most of these. Hope it's not key equipment.
Yes, head wounds bleed a lot. not a lot of cushion... lots of little blood vessels. the steri strips came off this morning... it doesn't look as big as I thought it would. it's right in my eyebrow and upward slightly. I also was taking aspirin at the time... made me bleed like crazy. I finally washed my hair last night and that got the bandage loosened up. went to yoga this morning and it went fine. Bangs really help "camo" the area.
Josie.. I went to "Toys" only one time and decided right then to buy savings bonds for gifts from then on. never went back. excedrin headache immediately. Best wishes to you & yours. Have a good vacation.

I can't remember the last time I was on the Cathe site. First the Christmas party took all my "extra" time. And then last week I twisted wrong and killed my back. I couldn't even stand up straight. I haven't been sitting too long at one time because I stiffen up. About the only posting I have done lately is my food on myfitnesspal. My eating has been terrible.
I have not bought one present yet.
I guess I'll quit complaining for a while. Hope everyone is having a good holiday season.

Going in to work by 6:00....did I tell you that our customer that we do the big inventory for hired an outside source that is supposed to do it today and get it all done in one day? This is the inventory that took us 6 straight days in August. Sure hope they are right. If they don't finish today we have to come in with them tomorrow...We had planned to be working this whole weekend, and all next week except for Christmas day. So this is great for the people in the warehouse. ( and me!).
Garance, Saw the clips, ...how can Collage Video have clips and they are not all posted here by now?
Valerie, most of what I saw with the big step was Cathe using it as a bench. There was not supposed to be any step type stuff in these...and I'm with you, I won't jump up or down on the step...too dangerous...not worth it..
Joan, boy that does not sound good....did you see a DR? No one can expect you to be out shopping for gifts if that is how you feel...just take it easy. I see you over at MFP posting, but you keep your diary hidden so not seeing the eating you mentioned.
I'm off....have a good day..

Hi Deb, Josie, Joan, Valerie, and Lori--
This morning I did After Burn (54 min.).
Deb, that's good news! Maybe your holidays won't be so stressful and work-filled. Hey, I don't know why Collagevideo has clips that Cathe hasn't posted here. Does seem a bit strange. I noticed that Collagevideo has a January 2 date listed. Just in time for post-holiday resolutions to kick in.
Valerie, tabatas are short bursts of intensity followed by brief recoveries. Can't remember the timing on them though. Cathe had tabatas in TTM. There was a low impact one repeated twice in the premix I did. Boring for me.
Hi Joan--I agree with Deb, it doesn't sound good. Did you injure your back while working out? Are you still going to the gym with a personal trainer?

Deb I especially won't jump on/off the high step. not much area to land. I'll step up/down and "go over" it but I don't jump with two feet together. I always have choreography problems and if I'm looking at the screen I can't watch where my feet go so,no, won't be doing that. I have a "regular" weight bench that inclines and declines, works fine.
my forehead looks way better than I thought. the cut is only 1/2 to 3/4 inch mostly in my eyebrow. looks much less ominous with the tape off and washed.
Joan, take care of yourself. gifts can be done after the holiday. It would be hard to shop this weekend, with the crowds and hideous traffic. DH and I don't get too involved with the frenzy, not that we ever did. even less now. we ordered our kayak but won't get it until late january. work is hectic for him now too, and we hope to get a couple days off for some quiet time. he is planning on retiring this summer at least for a while. no exact date yet.
I think this year will be especially quiet for us. for some reason, no parties or get togethers planned... or else we just weren't invited. MIL is having surgery today and that will be tough for several days after. she needs a catheter for a while. drove her nuts the first time. this procedure will reduce the tumor size, and then radiation/ chemo to slow its growth. we are hoping it's not a terrible process for her. she is a nice person, could not have had a better MIL.

Hi all!! Sorry to be MIA the past few days. Crazy work week. My mailroom person was out for 2 days. My laptop crashed day before board meeting then holiday party for our office (which I plan/coordinate). Was a terrible workout week too! Ugh! Missed 2 days and ate like there was no tomorrow! Today I ran and doing so felt great! Tomorrow is a new day and I will be back on track.
So excited about Xtrain. I love tabatas so I am looking forward to this workout. My 4DS came in yesterday and I get wait to try the kickbox and bootcamp this weekend. I will let you know my thoughts.
Have a great night!

Deb, hope you got done in 4 hours... 11 is quite a long haul, especially when it seems like most people get more time off around the holidays.
we were thinking of taking the camper and going off for 2 days, but weather does not seem worth the hassle, so will do day things from here. Puss is doing fine, like nothing ever happened, except he has a rectangular 'clear cut" on his side. animals are so resilient compared to people.
I did S&G again yesterday getting all the burpee/push ups etc. instead of the dragging push ups, I do 2 sets of 25 knee push ups, so I don't think I get off easy. I can't hold my feet in position for dragging ones. Off to do some kind of workout, not sure what.
