First things first...
Re: the queasiness last week caused by weird food smells.... I tested this morning and it was negative - NOT pregnant. I'm not surprised, and not all that disappointed. I really knew I wasn't. But I figured the responsible thing to do would be to test before I drank champagne tonight.
No work for me today or tomorrow but I am going in today to do some 'dirty work' in the back rooms getting things cleaned up and organized and such. I am going in about 7 and I hope to not be there much longer than noon or 1. Then Collin comes home!! Hopefully we can take a good nap together, then I will lift (GS C&T), shower, and go down the street to SIL's house for a NYE party (don't worry, it's very kid friendly). I got Collin some sparkling grape juice to toast with if he makes it to midnight!
from yesterday...
Kate, I am totally going to find a way to ship you some limas this summer!
Wendy, Frank is Collin's biological dad. We split when Collin was very young, and I have been dating/married to Chris since Collin was about 9 months old. He sees Frank occasionally, but he is a Marine reservist who just got activated and it getting ready to ship to Afghanistan. This may be the last time he seems him for a long time...
BBL!

good morning to you!
kate, warrior dash sounds fab! i take it your knee is all better if you are doing curcuit blast and 30/30 =) how is the shoulder?
katie, enoy having your baby back, i know you missed him! i will keep your ex i my thoughts. my dh reminds me every day that there are men and women serving around the globe even though it is not always a hot topic in the media.
step class at 9:30. i wanted to do spin but the holiday sched is different and no babysitting for the 8:30 class.
i am roasting more veggies today. this has worked well for me recently, roasting a whole mess of squash, zucch, eggplant, peppers, etc and using for salads and sandwiches. and a new find for me: josephs low carb flax bran wheat pitas... so good! actually found these at one of the mideast markets in my town but then saw they carry them at stop and shop, too.

Good Morning!
Snowy start to the morning which was interesting. Luckily the plows were out before I left for work. No workout last night or this morning. I have been feeling achy and the thought of lifting weights and aching more is not pleasant. Maybe tonight. No big plans for this evening - both DH and I aren't feeling well. We were going to make a nice dinner but not sure about that either. May end up with turkey meatball subs.
Kate, here is the link to the bedding http://www.donnakaranhome.com/donna-karan-essentials/. I bought the pewter color which is not a color I would normally buy but DH really wanted it. I hope I like it when it arrives. Have fun mario karting tonight.
Katie, glad Collin will be home for the new year. Have fun tonight.
Wendy, have fun at step. All of the gyms around me are offering free passes so maybe I will use one for a spin class.
Anne, it is Kelly Coffey-Meyer 30 minutes to Muscle Definition. It is actually more like 35-40 minutes and abs are separate.

I just got up. I've been reading in bed since I woke up this morning.
Kate, I just sent you a PM.
Wendy, enjoy step. Those veggies do sound yummy. I need to do some cooking this weekend.
Katie, I'm glad you get C back today.
Hi to everyone who follows! I think I am going to go to a movie in a little bit and I need to pick up my house. It's very cluttered, which I don't like. Happy New Year's Eve, everybody!

nina, you def deserve something girly! go for it! so nice to get flowers, isnt it? ikwym tho, i will get a fleeting "this is frivolous" feeling but then i just relax and enjoy =)
kate, everyone else is my house is addicted to PB. i dont hate it but have no need for it regularly. even JJ looooooves his PB&J or rice cakes w/PB!
anne, what are you thinking about cooking? any plans for tonight?
colleen, sorry you arent feeling so hot =( take it easy so it can be gone quickly!
step class was good but i really need to remember to wear my HRM at the gym to make sure it is as good as it feels. used it all the time when i was wo at home but havent been bringing it with me to the gym.
b - oatmeal, apples, pecans, coffee
l - turkey and roasted veg on wh with dijon (dont think ill use the mustard again with the veg, it was just ok, next time back to the pesto mixed with lf mayo)
d - i should be making baked ziti right now instead of forum-ing =) its a recipe i doctored from the food network to make more healthy and the fam, as usual, doesnt notice a thing, they still love it thank goodness.
dh is working tonight. first time we wont be together to smooch on NYE in ages. we usually go to my GFs a few miles away. its not that far but just too much for me to go over there for a late night without dh and a car. but im not sad about it like i thought id be...the idea of a nice quiet night alone is kind of appealing.

Nina, we got somewhere between 1 and 2 inches but since we weren't expecting it - it took a while for the plows to catch on.
Wendy, sorry DH won't be there for new year's. I agree that a quiet night is nice for a change.
Anne, what movie did you see?
I am really bored at work since I finished everything I need to do. Normally, I would just leave but I feel awkward since I am so new. I am starting to feel better which is good so maybe I can squeeze a workout in tonight. Not sure what I will do yet but probably something a little easier and then go all out tomorrow AM.

Hmm I thought I checked in today but see I didn't ! What was I thinking ?? lol
Kate, omg I saw your post the other day and went straight to Tracey's site and I ordered Walking Stronger too ! I have Walking Strong and LOVE it ! So am excited to get it !!!
I THOUGHT I was done ordering ANY workouts for a while but just had to get that one.
As usual DH stood there shaking his head ! ha!
No workout yet, went to Best Buy, Bed Bath and Beyond and Target . Oh and Home Depot. Came home and made tomorrow's dinner - which is black eyed pea gumbo & will fix greens, it's a GOOD LUCK meal for the new year !
Now I am organizing workouts ......we bought a dvd tower at BB and gotta see if it'll hold them all !! Probably no way !! ; )
Hopefully I'll fit in a workout later, even if it's just yoga !!
Is Collin back yet Katie ??
The roasted veggies sound so good !! Can't remember who's fixing them .....but yum!
Gotta go check on the gumbo !
Happy New Years Eve !

Did you find something to fix for dinner, Nina ?
I finally JUST made it into my gym and did Kickbox abs (REALLY good, I FELT it bigtime!) and about 15 minutes of yoga.
Better than nothing I guess, right ??
I probably won't make it till midnight, I'm already tired , it's been a busy day !!
Be safe tonight girls and I'll see ya next year !!!!!!!

Colleen, glad you found a mattress, nothing like a new comfy bed Sorry you aren’t feeling well. Hope it goes away quickly.
Nina, glad they finally came! And good job on getting circuit blast done. And the flowers sound great
Anne, reading in bed sounds good. I read at night and usually only get a few pages done before my eyes start seeing double, so it is taking me way too long to finish a book!
Becky, that sounds like a good plan for SM. I did it off the step the other day, but that sounds like a good idea for me to get the combos down. You did a lot of stores today! Sounds like a workout. Hope you had fun and found some good stuff
Lisa, hope you are feeling good today
Katie, glad Collin is back; I know you missed him Your new year’s plans sound fun!
Wendy, I know what you mean about the workouts, if they are on sale you have to get them sorry your dh has to work tonight, but glad you aren’t too sad about it, but I know it will still feel different without him there since it has been so many years.
Kate, thanks for the encouragement – it felt good to be able to get the workout in, otherwise I would be going to be feeling guilty
They both do ballet, tap, lyrical, jazz, and contemporary. My oldest also likes to do some of the ballroom dances like the swing, salsa, and tango. She wants to do Irish, but the times have just not worked out for the class.
The warriorrace sounds like fun! I haven’t been really good at running, but since I have been working on my cardio endurance it’s gotten a little better.
Did LIC today. Eating has been good calorie-wise, but fat was way too high! Been working on getting some last minute CPE credits in. I always procrastinate until the last minute! We aren’t doing much tonight. Will all probably just switch between channels and watch the new year come in and then go to bed.
Happy New Year! Hope everyone has a great one!

Just wanting to wish you ladies a Happy New Year and let 2010 be full of good things!!
I had a mild stomach flu/bug the last couple days, but feeling a 100% now. My weight has dropped though and I don't know if it's because I was sick or from working out since I have not stepped on a scaled in ages. I'm off to cook for the family. Lots of veggies and steak on the menu. I promise to be back tomorrow with personals. I'm feeling much better ladies and thanks for hearing me whine. Haven't worked out since I've been sick and probably have to redo this week of P90X since I missed most of it. I'll probably pull out one the new SC dvds for tomorrow. Big hugs to you ladies and have a good one!!
Be safe and see you guys in the new year!!
