[marazoe]

Merry Christmas Everyone. I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas with your families. I am sure all of the children are squeeling with delite.

Missy Tim sure was good to you this year. I bet you have already tried out some of your new stuff. Now all you have to do is get Xtrain. I loved reading all of your excitement this week. You are a real joy to have in our group.

Betty Enjoy having your boys home. One day you will look back on them sleeping late and wish they were still home with you. Time flies. Enjoy your family and all of the good food you will be eating.

Carolyn I can picture you now in your PJ's over at your Mom's house having breakfast with all of your siblings. Enjoy your evening and afternnon at home today enjoying your family.

Marie I hope you and your family are enjoying your first Christmas with Breckin. I think having a new baby at Christmas is the best. Enjoy every minute with him.

Becky I hope all is well with your Father. I guess you have completed STS by now. Have a wonderful day with your family. You are a good person for giving such good care to your Father.

Mary We haven't heard from you in awhile. I hope you are having a happy holiday season.

Colleen Give Cuddles some extra love today and let her know how happy you are to have her. My poor girl won't be here much longer. I hope your children got everything they wanted from Santa. Enjoy your family today.

Merry Christmas Everyone.

Just finished CF! Had to burn off some cookies. I was so good all day and then ended up having 2 cookies (chocolate cookie with pecans and caramel), 3 Hershey kisses and some strudel! Oh well! It was super tasty!

Feeding B now then meeting some old high school friends and their kids for lunch.

Have a good day everyone.

Hi Girls, Merry Christmas!!

Missy, Tim sure did spoil you! How wonderful!

We had a very nice Christmas. Santa was very good to us. I think the kids were very pleased.

Jean, Santa took care of cuddles too. She is our first baby. We went to Carl's parents yesterday. Here is a picture of cuddles on my lap on the way over.



Betty, I am so happy you are enjoying your family.

Hi Carolyn! Hope Santa was good to you.

On Christmas Eve I was able to get in 14 mile on the spin bike and today I did turbo barre. No workout yesterday.

Oh I don't like the cold at all!! I know you'll keep all your sweet animals warm tonight.

I love my spin bike. My butt doesn't get sore anymore. It did at first but not anymore. That's what most sat about spinning. Your hinny gets used to it very quickly.

Cute picture Colleen! Way to go with the workouts girls! I have been bad bad bad. I have been eating and drinking and not exercising! Hey, I didn't want Betty to feel all alone, so I figured I would join her! lol!

Xmas was good. We too had a dusting of snow fall on xmas a.m. The kids were thrilled! I forgot the biggest tradition of all is for us to read the Night Before Christmas! We all pile into my bed. My dad used to do it for us as kids. I had to carry it on!

Tomorrow I am having a bday party for ds. I made an ice rink cake. It isn't my best work! It was soooo hard to get the top of the cake totally smooth without any stroke marks! My son loves it so that is all that matters!
All local cousins will come over tomorrow and we will have pizza. Then I will take them to the ice rink for open skate. When we come back we will do cake and presents! Fun fun!
We are supposed to get quite a storm over night and into tomorrow. If the weather is too nasty, we will do the party on Friday instead.

time to play some games!

Good morning friends!!! Up bright and early and getting my cardio on before work...yes I go back today....it will be absolutely crazy!!! But we will be so busy the next two days...the weekend will be here in no time!!!

Btw...I got my Cathe calander...oh yes...it is awesome....I have it hanging in my gym. So excited!!!

Check in later!

 

[missyt]

I am freaking out....today is Dec 27th....xtrain ships today!!

Also...I just learned how to post from my phone without quoting someone!!! Hehehe

Sometimes...I make myself laugh!!!

 

[missyt]

Good Morning! Just read that...yes the DVD arrived and they are shipping....OMG!!!

Carolyn---I am starting them as soon as I get them!! Expecially the kickboxing one! I got my pink gloves to go with my boxing bag...I put them on and went to town on my bag...all I can say...is FUN!!!!!!!!

Back to work...just had to check on the Xtrain status!!!! Glad I did...I am glowing now!!! hehehe

 

[marazoe]

Now it's gonna be a race to see who gets theirs first.
I think I am going to read the info and do the 1rms before I start.
I am so excited to get a new rotation.

Good day, all! We have had hours upon hours of pelting rains & high winds! Kept waking me last night. Can't imagine the snow equivalent of that if the direction had changed slightly!

Carolyn, can't believe you didn't get snow. Forecast was for 6-12"! Which is what stopped us from going up to the outlets in Merrimack!
High five on DS's cake! Have fun today!
Thanks for keeping me company on the eating/no exercise front!. My middle is starting to bulge!

Missy, nice job keeping the workouts going! Some of us are keeping up in spirit only! (I did do a 2.5 mi walk a couple of days ago.)
Enviable that you have that new tv for your workout room!

Jean, good for you on getting the prep started before you receive XTrain!

OMG, potentially we could have XTrain at the earliest tomorrow!!!

Hi Colleen! Cute pic of Cuddles, and so happy that Santa was good to you all.

Hi Becky!

 

[cdimatt]

Hi ladies!!

Checking in with cycle strong today. I did 17 miles and burned 420 calories! Great workout.

Carolyn, enjoy your sons birthday party. Happy birthday!

I got the downloads for xTrain. Hopefully I'll get the link to download them today.

Bbl.

 

[missyt]

Good Afternoon!

Jean---I am sure you girls will all receive them before me....I am in the south...has to go many many more miles!!! But, I am impatiently waiting!

Betty---I am sure we all goofed over the holidays...I know I ate alot of sweets and I gained 2 pounds....so now I am trying to work them back off.... got another .6 to go ...... and then I will be back to where I was christmas eve!!!

And yes my TV is awesome....I am loving it! Tim said, now you gym actually looks like one! hehehe I am in love!!!

I hung my Cathe calendar yesterday...it adds so much to my room!!! I am going to write my each DVD workout...on it all year, so I can look back next year!!!

This new year...I am going to try to stick with working my abs!!! I tend to forget about them from time to time...but I am going to try to be good!!

Okay...back to work....

 

[mfv3]

Can't. Stop. Eating. Omg literally cannot stop today! We went to my dad's and stepmom's today for lunch and out come the sweets after a healthy lunch of turkey burgers. Ugh! I have no control when it comes to sugar. This is why I don't have it in my house. My workout today was Step Moves so at least I got that in although it was an easy workout and didn't burn too may calories. Ok....question......am I crazy not to start XTrain right away? My friend got STS for Christmas and wants to start a rotation on Mon and of course wants me to join her. I may do just that and then save XTrain for after that. I must be nuts.
