Damage Control December...Where did the year go??...Tuesday

[Fit_mommy]

Good Morning Peeps!

I have decided to keep Joey home from school today since he hasn't been on meds for 24 hours yet and he's still not feeling all that great. It's the last day before vacation (1/2 day) anyway. We will, however, go by the school this morning so that he can give his teachers their Christmas gifts.

Today's work out is cardio that is TBD. I'd like to run but that just can't happen until DH gets home from work and I may not want to wait that long to work out. I also have some last minute shopping to do tonight (and then we have to wrap EVERYTHING!) so I may not want to add the gym to my LONG to-do list.

Ang: Woo boy, I am starting to DOMS in the rear ALREADY! By tonight I'm gonna be crying I think. Yes, I enjoy Will Ferrell too. If I didn't I wouldn't have purchased the tix for DH! LOL That's not true. I would have just told him to take a friend with him instead. Yes, Joey ever-ready for Santa! His best gift this year is coming from his Aunt but unfortunately we won't be there to see his face when he "opens" it. That makes me sad but I know he's gonna love it. She bought him a Thomas the Train table with the tracks on it. We wanted to get him one but we have no where to put it so she bought it and will keep it at her house. My DH is going over there Christmas Eve before we go to our party to set it up for her. She will "give" it to him when he spends New Year's weekend with her and my MIL while DH and I are in AC. Sittin' on my rump with a beer watching a comedy sounds like a fine way to spend an evening to me! Glad you enjoyed it.

Good Mornin' Ladies,

I ended up being too tired to do the baking last night. I did make the peanut butter balls but have not covered them with the chocolate yet. After my workout this morning I'll tackle the baking. I have a ton of wrapping left to do. I plan on tackling that tonight.

My legs are sore this morning. I only used 50# for all the leg work yesterday but it was a lot of squats, lunges and plies! I haven't decided on a cardio but am leaning towards LIS/HIS combo. I haven't mastered either of these but they are fun. Last time I tried this w/o I got frustrated around the 45 min mark. I'll try to fdo the whole w/o today.

I did some shopping for SIL, she started her chemo treatments last week and is not feeling very well. I need to finish up a few things for her and I'm take treats for her family and some for her to share with her inlaws over to her this afternoon.

Wendy-I'm sure Joey will be so excited when he see's his gift from his aunt. I hope he feels better soon. So you're go to AC for New Years??? I too was fortunate enough to have plenty of family around to watch my kids. I thought of you yesterday during the imax 3 blasts. Have you tried the blast only premix?? Most of them are not complex, not saying they aren't hard, but not complex; several don't use the step. I think the first one is one of the hardest IMO.

Angie-thanks for the info on the carpet. DH and I are hoping to finish the basement in the next year or so. We already put up the wallls and electrical. The only thing left is to finish the bathroom, laundry room and flooring/baseboards. Next week we plan on rearranging my workout area and creating a family room type area where the kids can use all their gaming ps2, wii etc. Right now the ps2 is on my workout tv and the wii is on the old big tv. I think your evening with DH sounded great. It's hard to find time to just sit and relax with each other.

Laura-hope you had another fun party night. I think your new name should be party girl!

Jacque-did you get those arrangements made? Hope you have a productive day and get everything done.

Happy Holidays everyone.

OMG that STS thread is just outta control now! UGH! I swear some folks are just ungrateful! You are saving a A BUNDLE OF MONEY by having the option to pre-order and are forewarned that they are charging you UP FRONT and that they can NOT give you a promised release date and that it will TAKE A LONG TIME to be released but yet people STILL pre-order and insist on complaining about it. If you don't like it then cancel your order (or better yet-don't pre-order at all!) and BE QUIET!!!!! Or...if you MUST complain, then do us all a favor and email SNM *privately* about it.


Ahhhh....I feel better now.

 

[Fit_mommy]

So I've decided that I will probably do tmrw's work out today since I can't go to the gym...or atleast not until later....

So today will be CTX ub split when DS goes down for his nap. B&G abs are also included but I will save them for tmrw since I just did abs yesterday. This way, if I decide to go to the gym to get in a short run later, I will not get OD'd on cardio. In addition, that leaves tmrw wide open for a longer run. DS should be able to get out of "quarantine" by then so I can take him to the gym in the morning with me.

TOMORROW IS THE LAST DAY OF THE CURRENT ROTATION! I WILL HAVE COMPLETED THREE ROTATIONS IN A ROW! GO ME! I AM READY FOR STS NOW!

Diana: Yup, back to AC for another NYE celebration! I love it! I am so grateful to my mom's SO for letting us join them. He doesn't have to do that. He's a great guy. Oh gosh, sorry your SIL has to go thru chemo during the holidays. That stinks. How nice of you to do her shopping for her. Very sweet. I think I HAVE tried the blast only premix but I got aggravated with blast #2. I really have to not give up. Even if I have to pause it a thousand times to get my bearings. I know I am missing out on a KILLER work out which is why I re-purchased the darn thing. I'm joining you in the sore l/b although my soreness is more in my bum then my legs. YEOWCH!

Everyone who wants to do a KB rotation with me starting after Christmas: When do you want to start? I can start anytime but will not be around for New Years and probably that weekend as well. I was thinking of another possibility for a kb rotation. Not sure if it's doable for me with the mary training but I may try it out. Here it is:

1) Upper body bell work out/Run
2) Lower body weight work out
3) Upper body weight work out/Run
4) Lower body bell work out
5) Run
6) Full Body bell work out
7) Rest

It will still hit all body parts the same amount of times as my original rotation idea using both bells and weights but with 2 splits and a f/b instead of 3 f/b work outs.

Any preferences or other ideas, girls??

 

[Poochy]

WOOOHOOO it is MEGA Friday on a Tuesday for me!!!

Yes I will be taking some vacation time and will not have to come back to this place until the 5th of Jan!!! I am SOOOOOOOOOO happy!!!

Last night's get together w/VBFs was WONDERFUL .. my friend recovering from cancer was able to come .. and she just made our night!! We had a few snacks ... low fat and fattening ... I nibbled on both .. and of course CABS were all around .. we opened gifts and it was GREAT!! I gave 2 of my friends the CC stocking stuffer (3 CD workouts) .. they LOVED them ... told them I expected a phone call after the completion of the first one .. as to they dont set them aside and put off doing them!! I got some of the cutest stuff .. VBF gave me a ton of stuff .. the cutest being a beer mug that had on the front of the mug "Bad Ass Bitches Brew" .. OMG .. it is priceless!! We kid each other when we have had a bad day that we need our Bitches Brew to calm down .. how she ever found that mug is beyond me!! But all in all a wonderful time!

I rode w/SIL to work today .. my car is getting repaired .. and I am hoping it will be ready today ... I will be working thru lunch ... so no w/o .. and HOPEFULLY if the car is ready I can get someone to take me to pick it up then I have some last minute stocking stuffers to get (minor things really) .. then DH is FINALLY off .. so we have a date night planned!!!

So what are everyones plans for Christmas??? Mine are to do CC 7 .. then cleanmax .. then put the turkey in the oven .. then SIL and my aunt and myself go visiting our friends and some of the elderly in the neighborhood and take them some goodies! then my family will gather and eat and open gifts tommorrow. Christmas morning DH and myself have our alone time .. then I will go see my nephew's Santa goodies - he is getting a Wii .. and I am giving him the Mario racing game w/the wheel so I will take that over ..

[Fit_mommy]

Laura: Sounds like you have lots going on for the holidays! I will be thinking of you on New Year's! I second that we should both WIN BIG! How long will you be staying in Biloxi? ENJOY IT! I don't have a work out planned for Christmas Day due to my not being home but I am working out an extra day w/o rest to make up for it! I will be spending both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day at my SIL's. Eve is the family's annual party where the extended fam gets together and we eat, drink, get crazy and exchange gifts. Santa Claus makes an appearance on Christmas Eve to hand out gifts and make the kids smile. Christmas Day is just immediate family. Quieter. We all open gifts together in the morning and then hang out all day and have an early Christmas dinner together.


Breakfast: Kashi go lean cereal w/ff milk
Snack: left over tuna fish cake and 4 whole grain crackers

Hiya Ladies !

Off work today and lovin' it already ! Have reviewed a few DVD's and am going to be hitting Push Pull a bit later today after I get a start on my list. Figure a full body workout of the shorter nature will work for me today.

OK - catching up from yesterday too:

Wendy – Woo Hoo on the jeans front . . . I had a feeling that even a little weight drop would make a difference because you are eating better and that tends to help “adjust” the body makeup quicker. ^5's Congrats on the tix to the show. I have found too that buying tickets in advance works well. That’s why I wanted the Sharks tix and then get a few concerts during the summer when hockey is not in season ! As far as the arrangements – I had asked one of our brokers to get flowers from our customer (they were free) but thought she was getting arrangements already made until she called yesterday to say all she could get was bouquets. So, alas, in trying to conserve $ and because our customer and my broker had done me a favor, I was kinda stuck. I love doing it, just wasn’t in my schedule. In fact, finished up at 11:30 last night after DH took me out to eat 'cuz I said I didn’t have time to cook ! Pinot Grigio is one of my favs if I don’t want to chance the sulfites with a red. Yum !

Sorry Joey is feeling so bad - what a crummy time of the year to be sick again. Keep him warm and let him rest and he'll get over it soon. <<< have fingers and toes crossed >>> ITA with the preorders ! I think the worse the world gets, the more people think they have a "right" to complain. Either that or they are just plain ol' STUPID ! Super job on sticking to rotations - you are so on your way to sticking to them now that they are habit. Guess you'll be starting your Fmary soon, huh? The KB rotation looks good, if . . . if . . . if . . . DH gets off his butt on ordering stuff for himself only and pays attention to the HINTS I left him !

Diana – I haven’t even started wrapping but it’s on today ‘to do’ list. And forgot to pick up a couple little things when I was out yesterday. Have got the first batch of shortbread cookies in the oven right now and am making truffles of different flavors to put together little family gifts for DH’s siblings families. I didn’t remember, but picked up some “leftover” square red plates with a snowflake on them so that will be the gift. And I got that belly jiggle goin’ on too ! Still not sure about doing the 1RM. May start to work on those as a “rotation” next week, but will need to plan that one pretty well. And I haven’t been doing well with the weights anyway. Can’t decide if I want to do it after a good weight rotation or just JUMP RIGHT IN !

Ohh I just love the step on LIS/HIS ! I am a "dancy person" by nature and totally love the harder combos. Makes me pay attention ! Hope SIL is up to the holidays. You are such a good person to help so much ! I'm sure she really appreciates it.

Laura – hope the leggies and back end are doing better today and that last night was a blast ! You sure have bad luck getting to and from work, huh? Have to say I saw my life flash before me yesterday on the way home as someone ran a red light at about 50 – 55 mph. TG for ABS braking systems ! I think I stopped in about 3 feet ! DAMN people not paying attention ! ! ! OK, done with the vent. Sorry your CA weather has left you cold and shivering like the rest of us ! LOL ! I think it is so much worse having such quick weather changes ‘cuz the body just typically doesn’t adjust that quickly. Stay warm and healthy !

OK - I'm totally jealous you can take so much time off right now. I only wish.
You will definitely enjoy it and deserve it. Hope PIA has to work super super hard while you are away ! I see you did have a blast ! So nice for you and your friends to be able to spend such special time together. Xmas here will be veg in the AM, all kids will be at their Dad's place (WOW, I just thought of that !) and so definitely can workout. DH is cooking the prime rib to take to BIL's where we will have the family Xmas. One of my DS is working but will be there later, DD and DS & family will be here too. DS & family will be staying here (yea me - I get to play with GS !) and I'm gonna try to talk DD into staying too so we can have a little family time the day after Xmas.

Angie – WTG with the movies and beers ! I am hoping for a “chill day” sometime soon. Probably this weekend. I did BUY cards this year, but alas, they are still sitting on the kitchen counter. I always have the best intentioned plans !

OK chickadees, off to accomplish LOTS ! BBL to check in here and there. May even attempt to out do Wendy with posts today?

Uh, nevermind . . . just counted and Wendy is up to 5 posts already ! Maybe I'll just go for my own record !

 

[Fit_mommy]

Uh, nevermind . . . just counted and Wendy is up to 5 posts already ! Maybe I'll just go for my own record !

Um. I believe it's FOUR posts, not FIVE! Well okay, THIS post makes five. Secondly, what the heck else do I have to do being couped up with a sick kid all day? Don't you even THINK about saying housework!!!

 

[angie_nrs]

Heya girls

Wow! Lot's o chattin this morning.
I'm feeling a few DOMS in my chest, shoulders, and back today.....go figure. Today will be CC#7 with a couple of 1RM's thrown in for good measure.

Diana - OK - gotta ask....how do you make your PB balls so that they are not sticky? We use a combo of butter, PB, and powdered sugar and I think we are doing something wrong. By the time we go to dip them in the chocolate, it gets to be quite a mess and not as "neat" as I remember them as a kid.
I love LIS and HIS! It took some work to get the footwork down, but it sticks when you do....kinda like SB. I can't tell you how long it took me to get the footwork down in IMAX3 with #9. I kept wanting to end up on the opposite side of the step.
Chemo, especially at this time of the year, has to be rough. Best wishes to SIL.
You will LOVE your finished basement. It doubled the size of our house and actually provided an escape from the kids. Ahhhhhhhh! It was worth every penny and I'd do it again in a heartbeat! Actually our basement gets as much activity as the main floor....we use it every single day.

Wendy - How's about IMAX3 for today????
You did 3 rotations in a row? Holy cow! LOL!
Awwww - DS will be lovin' his aunt. I hope she doesn't live too far away...I'll bet he'll want to visit often.
I haven't seen the STS thread in a few days. I just haven't had time to hang around much and, quite frankly, the snarky and negative attitude is pointless and has been rampant since fall. I swear folks are just trying to get a reaction. I guess some just need drama...no matter what form of it.
I like the idea of a bell workout so much! It'll likely be short lived for me since I will be switching to STS as soon as I get it. I will try to do 3 KB workouts MWF and doing cardio in between TWTS. Cardios will consist of CC and IMAX's and maybe some fun step w/o's too. I usually throw those in on Saturdays.

Laura - Oh my! Party girl to have mega time off!! I'm sure there will be no CABs in your future eh?
You are so lucky to have friends that you can exchange fitness stuff with. I'm all on my own up here. If it wasn't for the boards, I never would have learned of KB's or CC's. Nobody else up here has even heard of them!
Have you come up with any decision yet on whether you are going to continue to work at the gym or are you still tossing that around. What does DH think?
Our weather can be summed up in one word - SNOW. It is pretty so I don't mind. But, come Feb. and March I'm going to be thinking "enough already!" Thank goodness we have a cruise in March to look forward to.
Our Christmas plans are to go to MIL's for dinner on X-mas eve and open gifts. Then we have a big breakfast on Christmas morning with my parents and MIL and the kids open their gifts. We laz around until late afternoon where we go to the hall for X-mas dinner with the whole clan from DH's side of the family. Since there are so many people that go to that, it is really a rushed affair. We hurry up, eat, clean up, and get the heck outta there. I don't know why it always ends up that way, but it does. Most of us have to work the next day.....so maybe that's why. I, on the other hand, plan on going shopping Friday to scarf up some deals!!

Jacque - I love SS and PP. But, I think I like them so much b/c they are on the short side.....but very effective. I think I put more umph into them b/c they are a bit shorter and usually have no problem getting DOMS from them. In fact, I think I have PP on my list for Friday. I like the music in those ones too.
I'm glad I'm not the only one running behind with the Christmas cheer. *lol* I have some cards going out tomorrow too.
Hope you are having a productive day.

OK - almost noon and haven't done anything yet......kinda like a Sunday here for me. LOL!

Later gators

Angie

 

[Sunshine1528]

OK - here for a confession ! I burned my first batch of shortbread cookies while I was posting away ! Oh well, made a double batch of dough . . . will just keep on bakin'. Got lots of the truffles rolled up but keep having to put back in the fridge to firm it up so here I am . . .

Angie - Yeah for DOMS - I haven't had them for about a week now. Guess I should really push the PP and go for the burn. Glad you are getting some stuff outta the way. Bummer that the get 2 gether for DH's side is so large you have to do it in a hall. We have about 30 - 35 and it is just small enough to keep to our homes. Thank goodness cuz a hall just doesn't seem very cozy. Oh well, you have to do what you have to do, huh? At least everyone can get together.

Guess I was counting too quickly Wendy ! So you are bored? Do you like to read? Or search the internet?

Hmmmmm . . . How about making up an STS 1RM rotation for me? LOL !

Gotta check the cookies !

 

[Fit_mommy]

Jacque, If I were going to do the 1RM's (which I'm not), then I would probably do 1 upper body, 1 lower body and 1 core each day. If you do 3 RM's a day, how long do you figure it would take to finish them all...um...a year perhaps!?!? LOL Sorry about the burnt cookies. Atleast you are baking something! That's more then I can say for myself!


Ang: Imax3 did you say? BITE YOUR TONGUE WOMAN! This aunt who bought him the train table is already a favorite and he sees her pretty regularly so he'll have ample opportunity to play with it w/o it becoming old news too fast. ITA with you on the STS deal. I just read this stuff and shake my head. You mean you won't complete ONE MONTH of bells with us? Just ONE month? C'mon girl! Get with the program here! LOL

 

[fitnessgurl]

hello ladies,

popping in a bit to say HELLO!! my internet time has become so limited and when i do have time i am checking on other stuff so unfortunately it leaves me no time for posting.

just wanted to say Merry Christmas and Happy New Year if i don't get back prior to.

wendy- i am going to do a kb rotation next month. so i will be with you with da' bells!! not quite sure how i am going to put my rotation together yet. this month i did an UB/LB split and just loved my results. sending speedy recovery (((vibes))) to joey. i've also been using lauren's on the edge KB workout once a week and i am just loving it!!!


Happy Holidays to all!!

 

[Poochy]

Back to report homemade veggie soup for lunch .. but alas I did manage one peice of home made Mexican cornbread along w/it!!! mmm mmm mmmm Boss made the soup .. I made the cornbread .. it was a huge hit!!

PIA is at it again .. found out as I was slaving on the stove she decided she would take off early today .. I have already entered her time .. she has NO time to take off .. but somehow says she has ALREADY made up this time .. she came in over the weekend .. WTH????? UNBELIEVABLE .. this is how she has so much time .. she needs a swift kick in her arse but somehow she never gets hers!!!

Anywho INSTEAD of getting MY desk caught up I will once again be filling in for her lazy @$$ .. gggggggrrrrrrrrr

Jacque sorry bout the cookies .. cant cook and post at the same time huh??? LOL ....

DeeDee .. thanks for checking in ... have a great Christmas .. hope Santa is good to your munchkins .. I know they have been good and are all excited about Santa .. how fun ... Merry Christmas!!!!

Jen .. hoping you are getting your rest and having no complications!!!

Merry Christmas to everyone .. hope everyone has a safe and magic filled holiday!!!

 

[rmrmr]

Wow, we are chatty today. I finished up LIS/HIS and stumbled through the second half again (over and over). Hopefully one day it will all come together. I also did 15 min ab work from the ab hits dvd.

I'm ready to start baking for the next few hours. I have a couple of errands to run but want to be able to take the treats to my SIL's during that time. After that it will be dinner and present wrapping time.

Angie-I have to make the peanut butter balls and refrigerate them while I melt the chocolate so they are firm enough to handle. You can try coating your hands with powdered sugar while you make the balls. I just used a teaspoon and kind of formed them into balls on wax paper. Since they've been in the frig all night I'll probably roll them into balls before dipping them in chocolate.

DeeDee-glad to hear from you. Enjoy your holidays!!

Laura-you are busy the next couple of days. Win big in Biloxi That would certainly make for a fun holiday. The grandbaby girls are supposed to get here on Friday evening. Right now they are snowed in so I hope they can get out to the airport. They live in the country and they don't plow or sand out where Amanda is. It doesn't help the dirt road turn off is at the bottom of a steep hill on each side.

Jacque-sorry about the cookies, I haven't started mine yet as I'm notorious for burning things. Men don't help and don't understand why I have to start dinner and then leave it cooking to go start laundry. Maybe if DH did the laundry or the cooking we wouldn't have to deal with burnt food.

Wendy-I'd love to do a kb workout with you but I will be subbing my own cardio since I can't run right now.

Gotta get baking....

bbl

 

[Fit_mommy]

I'm back and my work out is done.

Well I kinda split my work out down the middle. I did a little cardio and a little weights today cause I couldn't decide what I was in the mood for.

You will never guess what cardio I did! Yup, the first 5 blasts of IMAX 3!!! I did that first and then moved on to chest and back from CTX. I would normally do weights first but I wanted my brain/body fully in tact to tackle the choreo. LOL I took longer rests to recup my senses and was able to make it through with minimal goof ups! YAY!

Tomorrow morning I plan to bang out the rest of CTX before DS gets up and then hightail over to the gym for a 5 mile run.

I still may try to squeeze in a run tonight. It all depends on how I feel and what time I can get outta here later!

KB rotationers: You can do whatever cardio you choose. I was just wondering which rotation format you liked better.

ETA my food:

Lunch: Usual turkey sandwich.
Pre workout snack: 1 cup ff milk with 1/2 sc protein pwdr.
Post work out: 8 oz glass chocolate milk for recovery
Snack: oatmeal with 1/2 sc protein pwdr.

Oh and I also ate 2 chocolate munchkins today. One early this morning and one after lunch. SHHHH! LOL

BBL!

 

[angie_nrs]

Hey girls

Got my treat making done. It was pretty easy though. I just made some rice krispy treats, corn flakes treats, and choc. chip cookies. I just needed to make something for a couple of our vendors. Now I just need to get that workout in after I throw a load of laundry in. Sean....here I come.

Jacque - To be 100% honest, the hall's not all that bad b/c I'm not keen on a lot of folks in that family anyways. Not to be scrooge like, but many are pretty self absorbed and just show up b/c they feel like they have to not b/c they want to. That just doesn't make for a very fun time if you know what I mean. I would rather mill around, catch up with everyone, and sit down to a board/card game.....but with that large of a group it never happens. I think it kinda defeats the purpose of a get-together. I'm gonna encourage the boys to bring their favorite board games and give it a shot though....who knows....maybe we'll get some takers. The boys got the Sorry Sliders game that Gayle mentioned on the OF. It is a hoot and really easy to learn so we'll take that.

I kinda laughed at your cookie burning incident. It reminds me of when I think I can have a drink or two and cook dinner.....uh, doesn't make for a very good dinner if ya know what I mean. LOL!

Wendy - Oh NO YOU DI'ENT! LOL!! You did half of IMAX3??? I'm impressed!!!! It's an arse kicker isn't it? Just be aware that if/when you tackle the second part.....take some time to really check out her feet on that 9th interval before the blast. It is tricky! I just keep in mind now that the outer foot (toward the TV) only touches the front side of the floor once....everything else goes to the inside of the step. That messed me up for a very looooonnng time.

I went and glanced at the STS thread you were talking about. I'm gonna be PO'd if SNM no longer offers the presales b/c people can't read or don't pay attention to the rules from the get go. I mean, I don't care when people go to voice their opinions, no matter what that may be, but now SNM is saying "IF we decided to offer future presales".
I would love to do a 1 month bell rotation! Really, I would. But, I'm doing STS as soon as it hits my door. I know there's just no way I will be able to wait on it. So, I WILL start it but can't promise I will finish with you.

DeeDee - Glad to hear all is well. Happy Holidays to you too! Hope you get some vacation time soon.

Laura - Well, at least PIA will be outta your hair, although I can't imagine having to deal with that all the time. I'm sure it gets old really fast!
Ummmmm - lunch sounds yummy!!

Diana - You hit me up side the head with the DUH hammer. Ya - put them in the freezer for a bit.....why the heck didn't I think of that??? Sometimes I wonder what this thing on my shoulders is for. *lol*
Hope Amanda and the girls can get out. I know that would put a damper on your holiday if you weren't able to spend some time with them. When is their plane supposed to leave?
Did you find anything out with the MRI yet?

Gotta get goin - Sean is callin'.

Angie

 

[rmrmr]

Hey ladies,

First round of baking is complete. I covered the peanut butter balls w/chocolate, made 3 dozen cookies, and tons of peanut clusters, oh yeah-and 1 pan of brownies. I'm taking all this stuff to SIL's and then I'm going to stay for a bit and help her wrap gifts.

Tonight I need to finish up wrapping all our gifts. I never wait this late to get everything done. I'm also going to spend tomorrow, maybe tonight too, baking for our family, my stepmom, MIL and some friends of ours. I've wised up and am using premade cookie dough though. It seems to be working out okay.

Eat: fiber one, protein powder, banana, almond milk. I should probably grab some lunch since it's already 2:30.

Have a great day ladies, not sure if I'll be back later or not.

 

[Sunshine1528]

Jumpin' back in to say almost done with all the cookies and finished the truffles. First time makin' them and have had some issues. A couple of them are not very hard . . . guess they'll be sticky truffles !

Imax3 ? Nice job Wendy ! That is a good one - I think it is definitely the hardest so far. As far as STS, I was thinking about perhaps putting together a few exercises per body part and making that my workout for the day. Not sure if I want to take the time doing the 1RM's either, or just enter what I typically do to estimate the %'s.

Dee Dee - thanks for popping in ! Merry Christmas to you and your family if you don't make it back !

Laura - what do you put in your Mexican cornbread? Bummer about PIA - not sure how some people live with the cheating things they do ! Too bad you can't prove any of it. Oh well - sometimes ya just gotta get over it and realize they are in every company !

Diana & Angie - good to hear all the baking/cooking is done ! Was going to pass on it this year, but what the heck - don't do it often anyway.
