    Happy Monday, Friends!

    Golly how quickly Mondays come around! So this morning I decided to stop work for Christmas. I have a busy week getting the house Christmas (and mother) ready so I decided not to give myself any more stress than necessary. I love my mother to bits, but she can be just a tad high maintenance.

    Monday workouts are always fun as they make me feel that I'm starting the week strong. This morning I did a Heather Robertson chest and back strength workout - very cool!

    Then my kitchen got my full attention.

    I do hope you're all having a great start to the week.

    Here are the steps and exercises from last week - perhaps I should do it this way from now on?

    7th December -3545 steps / 50 minutes full body strength workout
    8th December - 8222 steps / 44 minutes general aerobic workout
    9th December - 3170 steps
    10th December - 4205 steps / 26 minutes kettleball workout
    11th December - 3436 steps / 37 minutes HIIT & core strength
    12th December - 7850 steps / 36 minutes dancing workout

    My steps for December 14 7,637

    I love the coloring sheet for exercise. That is a fun way to keep track! Looks like your having beautiful weather. It was cold and rainy all day here. Blah! Haha I’m not a cold weather person. I don’t mind snow, but the cold wind and rain is for the birds - or rather the turkeys. Hahahahaha

    @jugar Your right it’s so motivating when your losing. It’s amazing what our bodies can do! I need to be patient when those platos happen.

    My younger niece just asked for THIS planner - the unsolicited advice planner. It looks like a lot of fun for anyone who is looking for one that is really different, but still useful for all those personal goals. Since we were talking about planners... https://shop.adamjk.com/

    @Gidgitgoescrazy You have lots going on right now! I'm so glad you guys didn't get hurt but what a bummer! Your poor car. Fingers crossed for the job!

    @micki48 Looks like a nice day ☺. Your workout sheet looks pretty colorful 🌈 Nicely done ✔ 👏.

    @YinxFed Good for you wrapping up work for the holidays 😊 I will be right behind you, 3 more days for me.

    Today I spent an hour and 10 minutes trying to work out but only got 31 minutes of actual exercise broken up through out the time. Kids kept needing stuff, then there were a bunch of ants 🐜 in my bedroom where I work out. Good grief 🙄 😳 😑 and how many times can children plug a toilet in one week?!? Oh well, I pushed through and got a workout in.

    @jugar Those planners look funny 😆 LOL

    Inspecting my fitbit & heart rate last evening I realize that my evening walk, if I only just walk it, doesn't even bring me into the cardio zone. It's definitely improved when I do a combo run/walk. It's also a very flat route, there's one road I can start to include that has some inclines.

    Sylvia, Look up racewalking... I do that for just a little bit while I walk, it really works your glutes, and gets your heart rate up, it looks super silly, but you could do it in intervals...

    I'm so not in a get fit mood ! I started my exercise this morning, I am kinda bored with the Leslie sansone videos, I feel like they should be doing more for me, like I've been doing them for months and NOTHING is changing, I know I should just be happy with the fact that they get my heart rate up in the morning and gives me a good start for the day, but for some reason that fact is not making it through this month... I like the hiit, but the level zero feels kinda easy, and then I think it's not doing enough because I don't get steps from it, but level 1 is hard, and I don't have the grace I need to perform a lunge to one foot balance, so if I can't do it right, why do it...

    My brain is just not agreeing with anything I am doing right now, and I don't know how to get focused and stick with something, I haven't used my journal because I did it the 1st week, and I swear I crossed out each day 3 times and changed it... So I am just trying to hold on till this month is over and January comes, and these holidays are over... and I can pick something and just do it...

    arghhhh... Okay I'm done ranting, have a great day !

    Thanks, I'll look it up and I have no fear of doing silly walks (aka Monty Python) because I walk at night B)

    @spyro88 I totally feel the "F*** it" impulse. It is SO destructive! I think recently, like the last couple months, I have been a smidgen better at curtailing it, because even when you feel that way, you actually can always make it worse haha. If you have already over eaten, eating MORE is not helpful! But on the other hand, catching yourself and pumping the breaks for a second, you can do a world of good. But I find this can only happen for me like once a week. If I get the "f*** it" feeling again, I'm a goner. Meh.

    @Gidgitgoescrazy definitely sounds like level 0 is not doing enough for you! I have never tried Leslie Sansone, I know she is so popular on MFP, but maybe branch out to a different workout style that will be interesting for your brain because it's new, but not as hard as level 1 (and work up to that?). Do you like doing strength stuff with dumb bells? I feel like the biggest difference I have seen in myself in quarantine is in my arm muscles, and I attribute that to not-crazy-intense but consistent dumb bell work.

    @conleywoods your toilet trouble made me laugh. I do sometimes cherish that I currently live alone. :D I was so slow and lazy getting to my workout last night, good for you for getting that 31 minutes in!!

    Happy Tuesday!

    I'm having a good chuckle over the blocked toilets and kids interrupting, turning a 30 minute workout into a 90 minute battle (or a 90 minute workout into 30 minutes of maybe exercise!) - those days are so crazy, but somehow we still miss them when the kids are grown. How weird is that? And @Gidgitgoescrazy - I LOVE those lunge to one leg balance things - all you need is a chair or some other piece of furniture beside you so you can hold on at first, and then slowly start letting go as you get better at it and your balance improves. They are so worth it! Don't move too slowly either, they are easiest with steady motion, then you can slow them down later.

    I'm off to fabric store, and to get some champagne to celebrate my daughter's completion of a super tough training course, and having her in my bubble for Christmas (with the Army's permission, of course!). She arrives tomorrow night! Both kids will be able to be with us as long as they are not hanging out with anyone else. I have a feeling I'll be consuming more baked goods and other goodies than I have in ages, but hopefully the snow will be thick enough to snowshoe by the time the 30th rolls around. I'll certainly need to burn off a LOT of calories by then...

    Have a good one! I'll have the report from the F2F survey done tonight so we can see what ideas people have come up with. If you have not done it yet, it is still open -
    https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/NDQHF22

    I'll close it tonight. Thanks to everyone who participates!

    Took a walk around the neighborhood with my DS little family. Scavenger hunt of Chrisrtmas lights. Little 3 year old grandson so proud he found everything on the list. We got down in the 40s that is cold here. I enjoy seeing all your pictures but grateful for warmer weather here. I do miss the snow on the mountains.
