    Morning Ladies,

    Yesterday was my rest day, so no workout for me. ;) With having to wait in line to vote, and then getting the youngest to dance class there was really no time to do anything. Tonight I have a hair appointment, but I'm hoping that I can get my workout in anyway. May have to do the 9pm workout tonight. :)

    Laurel, Great combo of workouts. I'm going to guess that Tami will tell us that she is getting her hair prettied too sometime in the near future. :D We all seem to be doing that at the same time. We used a neutral color in our house also, and through the years I have been painting the rooms different colors. It was nice having the neutral, didn't have to put primer on the walls. ;) Wow just before Christmas! Very exciting though, hope they are able to hit that date for you. Just one more move for a long while hopefully. ;) Yes the Ruthless workouts are on par with Insanity for intensity, and of course the use of just your body weight. Not as polished as Shaun, but again everything is at your pace.

    Thelma, If that disc is defective you can always contact them at cathe.com to get it replaced. I have heard that they replace for free. Good thing that you where able to get do the PT work on your own. Good job on making those workouts your own.

    Hello Tami, great job on the workout. Hope all is well with you today.

    Have a wonderful day!

    Hi Ladies! Today's combo started with STS Back and Biceps. And in what is becoming normal in this rotation, I really took up the weight. Felt great. I followed it with Med Ball Abs. For cardio, it was LIS Afterburn Bonus Burn premix. My arms were feeling the moves I. That after the heavy weight work earlier, that's for sure.

    Thelma, great job with Back and Biceps! Glad you are enjoying these STS workouts and making them work for you. As Laurie said, Cathe will replace the disc if it is defective. You might also want to try to wipe it off because it could be there was something on the disc. I have had that happen more than once and, like you, hate taking the disc out mid-workout.

    Laurie, sounds like a couple of busy days these days! I was thinking of you and Tami when I was getting my hair 'fixed' yesterday. The bad news is they are closing the salon I go to!!! And the lady who has been doing my hair has decided to go back to school instead of moving to a new salon. So off I am to find a new salon.....again. So frustrating! But maybe I will find something closer to the new house. Trying to see the bright side. ;)

    Tami, hope you are doing okay. Thinking about you....

    Until tomorrow!

    Hi Ladies, tonight I did cardio. Tabatacise Premix 1, X10 Double Low Impact Premix. I really love this combo minus the pushups and burpees because I can't do them due to my shoulder injury. I don't even know how I'm so full of energy today because I only slept about 4 hours. I was on pins and needles waiting for the election results. LOL
    I am going to do my spinning bike. I have an emergency appointment with my ophthalmologist because I have a condition that can cause eyelash folicles to get infected or clogged up and I think I have clog issue so I need him to see me just in case. Unfortunately for me the doctor is not at my usual clinic so I have to drive probably 60-90 minutes to get to this other facility but I don't want to wait till next week. I will proabably come home late because I'll be stuck in rush hour traffic.

    Laurie, I hope you were able to squeeze your workout in today and that your hair. Thanks on making the workouts my own. I will have to try that STS DVD this weekend after I clean it to rule dirt out.

    Laurel, excellent workout today. I really am pleasantly surprised about these STS workouts. I am going to wipe the disc to make sure befoe I request a replacement. Sorry your hairdresser.

    Tami we're thinking of you!

    Good night ladies!

    Morning Ladies,

    I did get my workout in last night, and yes it was a late one. STS Meso 2 Chest, Shoulders and Triceps along with Ruthless Killer 100's.

    Laurel, WTG on upping those weights. I love the strength gains myself, it truly is amazing. That is to bad that you have to search for a new hairdresser. I don't know where I would go if Lisa stopped doing hair. :( Oh wait, my youngest dd has decided to go into the profession. She is very excited about it also.

    Thelma, WTG on the energy with little sleep. Do you do something else during those push ups and burpees? Hope you where able to avoid to much of the rush hour traffic, but getting the issued looked at is very important when it comes to your eyes.

    Tami, Great job on the workout, so glad that you are getting them in to help you.

    Have a great day!

    Hi Ladies! I combined today's and tomorrow's workouts again. I actually started with XTrain Legs to work some lingering stiffness out of my legs. Then I did X10 Fat Burning Circuit (today's workout) into LIS Athletic Training (tomorrow's workout). What a good, tough combo! Those two latter workouts really worked well with each other since they are a little similar in effect. But my legs were fried by the end! I think I will be giving them a break tomorrow.

    Thelma, hope your eye is okay. Great job with the workouts, especially given the lack of sleep. Hope your election results were what you wanted!

    Laurie, great workouts--especially for being late! That STS workout is long!! Does your DD want to move to Florida to do my hair? :D;) I did learn there is a salon about five minutes from where we are moving that may be good, so that is something of a relief. I guess I will learn soon enough!

    See you all tomorrow!

    Hi ladies! My eye is OK. I have a little abscess and the doctor said there was nothing to worry about so I'm very relieved. I was able to get a some spinning and stretching in too. I'm off tomorrow and have to take one of my kitties to see her ophthalmologist and her primary care vets. The shoulders are feeling pretty good today.

    Laurie, good for you for getting your workout in so late in the day! There was a lot of traffic on the way home and there is not other way out of that rush hour traffic and on top of things it was raining. It took me an hour to get there from my job and it took me about 1 1/2 hours to get home and I live about 45 minutes from work. During burpees and pushups I do other exercises. If I have to do PT that day then I do PT exercises, otherwise I do jumping jacks or just jump on the trampoline.

    Laurel, killer combo today! Awesome job! Thanks for asking about my eye. I have to do warm compresses and thankfully it's nothing to worry about. My election results were not as good as I wanted but the rest of the country made up for it. So I drove to work with a big smile on my face yesterday. :D

    Tami, I read your message and CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR NEW JOB!!! I believe that God does things for a reason. If you hadn't been treated so badly at your current job you wouldn't have been forced to look for a new job. You just needed a little push to get out of that place! I can't tell you how happy I am for you! Well deserved. Will you be able to carpool with DH?
    I can't believe your current company is trying to downplay what they've done to you. It really is disgusting what they did and are probably relieved that you're letting them off the hook with your job there.
    You are going to do an amazing job at your new place and are going to have all the opportunities you've been wishing for!
    I'm glad that you've been able to get back to your workouts! When is your last day at that place? I hope tomorrow!!!

    Good night ladies!

    Morning Ladies,

    Yesterday was Meso 2 Legs and Ruthless Fast-Slow Burn. Have been looking at all the premixes for the new workouts, and they really look good. I think I will be liking the premix that takes out the burn sets. I have a four day weekend ahead of me, so I'm ready for that clock to hit 4pm. We have Veterans Day off, and I took Monday off also.

    Laurel, I would give the legs a break after all that too! :) I'm pretty sure that my DD would love to move to FL, only to go to Universal and Disney. :D Nice the you where given a place the could potentially be a good place to get your hair cut.

    Tami, Again congrats on the new job, sounds like the place is very friendly. That is what I love about the guys I work with.

    Thelma, Great news on your eye, and getting in a workout even though you had such a long drive to and from. What a great way to get in your PT.

    Have a great weekend!
    Laurie

    Hi Ladies! Today I started with XTrain Burn Sets and did the upper body with core premix. Good stuff! For cardio, I did Rockout Knockout with the bonus bag segment, and it flew by!! I could have done more but ran out of time!! I love feeling this way at the end of the workout week.

    Tami, a huge CONGRATULATIONS to you!!! It sounds like a really good opportunity for you. I love that your new company was proactive in hearing about your situation and making it work for them. I am so excited for you! I know you were in your other job for so long and leaving will probably be very bittersweet. But since that change over last year in ownership, it sounds like the organization you used to work for in essence no longer exists. So enjoy the new adventure!! I really am happy for you!!!

    Thelma, glad to hear everything is okay with your eye, though it sounds like the trip home was a pain! Great job getting a workout in despite the long drive.

    Laurie, great workouts! I haven't looked at the updates on the new workouts recently. I am off to Cathe's site after this to have a look. If they already know what premixes there are, they must be moving along nicely. Hope to get them soon! Still think they will be perfect workouts for the busy Christmas season.

    Hope you all have a great weekend!

    Hi Ladies,
    I hope you all had a great weekend. My workouts for this weekend: Friday - Athletic Training, Saturday: X10 low impact and PT which covers back, biceps, shoulders, Sunday - spinning. My shoulders are feeling pretty good today.

    Laurie, great job with your workouts! I have looked at some of the premixes for the new workouts and I agree that they look good. I hope you're enjoying your long weekend! DH has tomorrow off but I have to go to work.
    I'm glad my eye is OK too!

    Laurel, another great combo for you on Friday! I wish I had your energy!!
    Thanks so much on your thoughts about my eye. The commute to/from the clinic was not fun but I would not see any other doctor. He specializes in dry eye conditions as well as autoimmune diseases of the eye which I have due Lupus.

    Good night Ladies!

    Hi Ladies! Thank you all so much for celebrating my good news with me! I am so thrilled and cannot wait to start my "new life" with the Title Company. To answer your question Thelma it is the 19th! Counting down. Of course on Thurs a.m. The current owner sent out an email announcing that I am leaving and that she would like to invite everyone to say goodbye at a local restaurant that eve. Currently I don't want to go because they are truly trying to make it look neat and tidy, that I have a new opportunity, etc. so people don't start being angry at them. I will go through the motions and get through it .... Everyone I care about that knows me, knows what happened and they are appalled and celebrating my new job! Knowing as Realtors, they still have the opportunity to work with me. Just in a different environment.
    It's crazy they haven't even told me who to start training yet, so we will see what this week brings. In the meantime I am back to sleeping good and feeling like I got myself back. Laurel you are right, everything that has happened in this last year has lead up to these surreal moments of "who do I work for" and what happened. In as much that I never imagined it to happen this way, it all happened for a reason and I look forward to my new job!

    I ended up doing Supercuts Xtreme on Friday, STS Total Body yesterday and today was STS Chest/Shoul/Tris today followed by Vball league.

    Thelma: Glad to hear your eye is ok. From what I have read on your workouts it sounds like the shoulder is doing better? I agree with you on the push for a new job. It has been something on my mind for more years than I can remember, a gentle nudge became a push, but I am thankful for what is ahead. I know once I am gone from there the bitterness will wear off and it will just feel normal to be in my new job and my new life. Nov 19th!

    Laurie: Great job with the workouts and I hope you are enjoying your nice long weekend! I'm excited to look back into the "new" Cathe workouts. Are the clips online yet? Thank You for your encouragement!

    Laurel: Awesome work as always! Friday's combo sounds perfect, nicely done.
    I can't even tell you how amazing it felt to have the Title Co. want to grab me up since they knew what was happening. Several staff people there know that I am on my way and they are thrilled is the feedback I have heard. I feel like they saved me at a time I needed it the most. I will work hard to prove to them that it was a good choice!

    Hope you ladies had a great weekend & I will check in tomorrow.

    Morning Ladies,

    See if I can remember all the workouts, X10 Hi-Lo, Meso 2 Back and Biceps, X10 Cardio Blast and some Ruthless workouts that I don't remember what the names where. Today is LIS Afterburn. Will take a trip to the grocery store today also.

    Laurel, Great combo of workout you put in on Friday! I think they will be here toward the end of Nov. early Dec. I'm thinking that I will start the rotation at the beginning of the year. Will probably take a break from Cathe workouts for a bit. But yes they would be a great way to get some great workouts in during the holidays.

    Thelma, WTG on the workouts. Glad to hear that your shoulders are doing good also. I haven't heard if she is going to have rotations with this or not, did you read anything about that?

    Tami, Great job on the workouts! Wow the 19th that is quick! It is to bad that the former employers are doing a cover-up. It is just great that you will be able to leave that place with no regrets. I have not seen any clips yet, but will be stalking the site to see if they appear. :D

    Have a great day!

    Hi Ladies! We had a nice, cool, rainy weekend here. Progress with the house is, sadly, slow. I was thinking more would be done on it this week but not much got done. Makes me think it may not be December 15 after all. Oh well.

    Saturday was my day off from working out but was right back at it yesterday. DH and I did STS disc 28/Chest and Back. And then I went on to do Cardio Core Circuit. Today was Plyo Legs and Stability Ball Abs. For cardio, I did workout #2 from Cathe's Hardcore Extreme DVD. This is a combo of Low Max, IMAX 3 and the cardio blast section from Kick Max. Good stuff!

    Thelma, sounds like you got some great workouts in this weekend. Glad to hear your shoulders are doing all right!

    Tami, congratulations again on the new job! I agree about your going away dinner--I wouldn't want to go if it were me either! But, like you said, you will get through it and give the people there who do care about you a chance to say goodbye. Great job getting right back at it with the workouts!! Glad to hear you are feeling like yourself again.

    Laurie, great workouts this weekend! Are you right in the middle of this arctic chill? I hope it isn't too bad....though it looks like a rough one. Cathe's newsletter today said possible mailing of the new workouts between the end of November and December 7. That would be perfect! I am anxious to see them.

    Happy Veteran's Day! If I don't check in tomorrow it is because DH is off and we decided to do something together. We will see about that, though, as he has some Veteran's Day things to do with his students in the morning......so I will try to check in.

    Hi Ladies,
    Happy Veterans Day! Tonight I did STS Disc #29 Plyo Legs/Stretch. I really liked that workout. My jumping was done on the trampoline and I didn't do the rock climbers.
    Today my shoulder felt like it was pointing forward which is the problem I'm trying to correct. It drives me insane to feel lopsided. I did feel better by the end of the day which is great.

    Tami, welcome back! I'm so glad you're in a better place mentally and emotionally. I can't believe your current employer is acting like nothing has happened. The important part is that you have a new job. A new beginning! Don't even worry about training anyone. I'm glad you're working out and sleeping well too!
    My shoulder seems to be doing better a lot of the time. There are times when it feels like I'm back at square one though. I'm still not doing any of Cathe's overhead shoulder moves though.

    Laurie, great job getting your workouts in during your long weekend! Are you going to take a break from Cathe's workouts after this rotation? I haven't heard anything about Cathe having rotations for the new program. I'm sure there will be some type of rotation eventually.

    Laurel, wonderful workout combos! Sorry the house progress isn't going at the speed you were hoping for.

    Good night Ladies!

    Hi Ladies! Today's workout was STS Legs this a.m. and I went to the F.A.S.T./Bootcamp after work. Both felt great.

    Laurie: Outstanding job on the workouts and sounds like you took advantage of your day off today! The 19th is quick but honestly, seems like a long way away right now.

    Laurel: Sounds like a nice weekend despite the rain.... We had pouring rain yesterday and woke up to a little skiff of snow this a.m. It's supposed to be in the thirties this week. BRRRRR Sorry to hear the house is moving a little slower than what you had hoped for. Be patient, in the end it will be worth the wait! Great job as always with the workouts!

    Thelma: Awesome work with Plyo Legs! I can't believe it either and yes another day down without any questions or "could you let us know" etc.... CRAZY! I'm so pleased to be in a better place too! It's amazing and I know when I am gone from this current job the remaining layers of "crazy" will be gone and feel even more amazing!

    I appreciate all of you and your amazing support to me through this .... Thank You

    I'll talk to you all tomorrow ~ Tami

    Morning Ladies,

    Yesterday was of course FlexTrain, and today was suppose to be my rest day. I think that I will get in some yoga, since that is one thing that I don't seem to get in as much as I would like too. The best thing about this week, is I only have a three day work week. :)

    Laurel, Love all the workouts that you got in. We had that experience with the house build, just never seemed that they would be done in time. Then they bring in a small army, and it gets done. We are suppose to get the cold weather today, my parents had the snow yesterday. Right now it is raining, so I'm hoping that it doesn't turn into ice. Good news on the workouts.

    Thelma, Great job on the workout, love those Plyo Legs. Yes I think that a break from Cathe would be good, I have some workouts that I haven't tried out so would like to do those until the new year starts. Can't believe that I am saying that the new year is approaching so quickly.

    Tami, Love all these leg workouts everyone got in. One good thing is that this time at your current job will probably go by fast, because you don't have the stress.

    Have a wonderful day!
    Laurie

    Hi Ladies! Quick check-in today, but I did get my workout in this morning while DH is off with his students. I did X10 Step then right into Party Rockin' Step 1--the 66 minute premix. My legs feel tired from yesterday, but it was a fun workout. Now I have a little time to do some things around the house then DH and I are headed out to look for more things we need for the new house. Still not buying anything, but trying to get ideas and costs.

    Thelma, I am sorry about the shoulder problem. That must be so frustrating! Good job with the workout, though, and making it work for you.

    Tami, great workouts! I talked to one of my sisters in Denver yesterday, and in the time we talked, their temps dropped 30 degrees. They had a high of 70, and by last night it was below freezing and snowing!! Boy, I don't miss that! I told her I was going to go hug my palm tree, :D So stay warm! It looks like those cold temps are going to be around awhile.

    Laurie, hope you are having a good day!

    See you tomorrow.

    Hi Ladies,
    Tonight was PT and spinning. I'm really upset because I seem to have yet another foot injury. This time is my left foot. A couple of weeks ago I started to feel some tenderness around the ball of my foot on the left side. Yesterday after my workout I was wiggling my toes around and I was getting them separate and contract when I felt something on the toe next to the small toe. Then I started to feel my foot and it was just tender. I remembered that it almost hurt like that when I dislocated my toe and needed surgery about 6 years ago. I'm freaking out needless to say. Today I buddy tapped my toes together just in case. I also called my foot surgeon's office and she had a cancellation tomorrow afternoon. You have no idea how incredible this is because she is the only foot surgeon there so she's always booked. I'm going for X-rays at 3:20 and will see the doctor at 4:20. I'm OK walking and was OK on the spinning bike but I was very careful. From what I can find online it is a metatarsal issue but what do I know. I don't know if this is a bone or soft tissue problem. I have the feeling that I won't be doing lunges any time soon. Lunges could be the cause as I've been doing a lot more of them. I can't win! This is so frustrating but at least I'm not feeling like I'm going to give up exercising.

    Tami, great workouts! Are you still going to have time to do your Insane Abs class during lunch at your new job?
    I really love the plyo legs workouts but may have to give those up for a while.
    We actually had a little snow a couple of weeks ago. I heard this is going to be a very snowy winter!
    Don't even question the fact that your employer doesn't want any training. It's their loss!

    Laurie, I hope you were able to get your yoga workout in today. Nice short week! I noticed you were not doing the rotation anymore and I was wondering why but now I know. You've got all those new workouts calling your name!

    Laurel, I hope you and your DH had a wonderful time together. Great workouts!!! You have serious will power about not buying anything for the new house! I would've bought some stuff by now! LOL
    The injuries are very frustrating. I need a new pair of feet!

    Good night Ladies!

    Morning Ladies,

    I did manage to get in the yoga workout, decided on Eion Finn 90 min. one. Felt really good, and totally made me relax. I really enjoyed my four days off, didn't realize that I needed to have that time off so badly.

    Laurel, Feel for you on the legs, but sounds like you got in a good workout. Hope you where able to find something for the new house. Our temps where in the 20's this morning, just not ready for the winter to come. Seems like we have just come out of the last winter.

    Thelma, Dang on the foot! Hope you have some positive news from the surgeon. I'm still doing the rotation, just behind all of you because of the Tuesday dance class. After this rotation I will not be heading into Cathe's RIPPED workouts. I will be doing some other workouts until the beginning of the year.

    Tami, Hope you are having a great day!

    Have a wonderful day!

    Hi Ladies! Today started with STS Disc 30/Shoulders, Biceps and Triceps. And once again I was able to go up in weight. Feels so good! I followed it with STS Yoga Based Abs, which isn't my favorite. But I did it. For cardio, I went for fun today. I started with Turbo Fire HiiT 25 and then went right into TF45. Fun and effective combo.

    Thelma, yikes on the foot! You can't catch a break right now, can you? Hopefully you will get some good news from the foot surgeon. Great job pushing through with a workout. I laughed when I read your post about buying things for the house...because we started yesterday! We were looking for a carpet for the family room (it has wood flooring), and I knew what I wanted. First furniture we walked into, I walked up to a carpet and said to DH 'This is it!' It was exactly what I pictured in my head. Of course we went to two more carpet stores and three more furniture stores--just to make sure--before returning to the first place and buying my carpet. I am excited!! We dropped by the house yesterday as well, and all of the kitchen cabinets had been delivered and are supposed to be installed today. I really am getting excited after seeing that!

    Laurie, great job getting in the yoga. I love Eoin Finn (know him because you recommended him!). That must have felt good. Hope it doesn't get too cold or snowy this early. That makes for a very long winter.

    Tami, hope everything is going well. One week and counting!!!

    See you tomorrow.

    Hi Ladies ~ Sorry I missed ya yesterday. Again, working at our front desk for the week and it is hard to login. DH made me dinner last night while I was at my hair appt! Love it. So yesterday was X10 Step and then no workout last night. This a.m. was STS Back/Bis and headed to Spinning tonight after work.

    Laurie: Nice job with Flex Train yesterday & getting in some Yoga too! Always good to get those in. How nice only having a 3-day work week. I bet you thoroughly enjoyed your time off. I am SO looking forward to my time off between the 19th, leaving for my trip to see my sister in Calif on Nov 24 for a week! It will feel so good and then start my new job! Sounds like you are right into winter in your area. We are having the very cold temps right now. Highs in the 30’s and we are supposed to get some snow up high very soon. The skiers are all thrilled! You are spot on with that on my job ~ going fast and no dread factor. Just anxious for it to all be DONE at this point, then those last layers of “build up” from 20+ years can be gone for good!

    Laurel: Awesome work AGAIN for you on the workout combo! Hope you enjoyed your day looking for house items. Fun that you are pre-shopping to get some good ideas. I bet you are hugging your palm tree! That’s funny. I bet your sis really appreciate that. Yes, it is cold right now but luckily having those bright blue sky days, which is always refreshing when it’s cold vs. gray and dark.

    Thelma: Dang it on the new foot injury! Hopefully it is something just small and it will be healed up in no time. That’s fantastic you were able to get into that dr. right away! Good luck. Girl, you have been through so much with your injuries this year I know for certain you won’t be giving up on the workouts! You will get them in and I commend you for that. I am not sure if I will or not on the Insane Abs class . . . probably at first while I am training I won’t but as I get into my own routine I will be able to go back to it. It will be great when I do.

    Hope you are all having a great day ~ Talk to you tomorrow! Tami

    Morning Ladies,

    Yesterday was Meso 3 Chest & Back really loving all the heavy weights again.

    Laurel, Wow on the workouts. Love the two TF ones, and great job on upping those weights. Can't believe that it is possible, when the last round I was struggling with lighter weights. :D I love how Eoin is able to get those hips stretched out. I think that he is the only one that uses that mix of poses to get them that way.

    Tami, Very nice that you had dinner on the table after your hair appt. Great workouts also. I will be having time off for Thanksgiving and Christmas, and I'm really looking forward to that also. Where you able to keep the same amount of vacation days with this new position? It took me 15 years to get back to the 4 weeks that I had with my previous job, it sure is nice to have that.

    Thelma, Have a wonderful day today!

    Talk at you all later,
    Laurie

    Hi Ladies! Once again I combined tomorrow's scheduled workout and today's into one workout. So I started with the 62 minute premix from Great Glutes. It felt good because my legs have felt tired this week. I think I needed that kind of workout just to ease them a bit. I followed it with the X10 Low Impact and Step premix and then went right into XTrain All Out Low Impact HiiT. That was a good combo.

    Tami, I am so glad you are going to get a break in between jobs. I bet you are really looking forward to it. Are you going back to Los Angeles? Not a bad place to be that time of year. :) You might find yourself hugging a palm tree too! ;) Great job getting the workouts in.

    Laurie, I am thinking I won't feel so strong with the weights next week when we are back to the Meso 1 workouts, that's for sure. I can really struggle on those endurance workouts after lifting heavy. But that's one of the reason I like this undulating rotation--it really challenges me in my weak areas. Eoin's Happy Hips workout is one of the best for hips. I love that one.

    Thelma, hope you are doing well and your foot is okay!

    See you tomorrow!

    Laurel

    Hi guys, new to this thread but always a cathe fan. I have two left feet when it comes to the imaxs but, how good is the LIS series (Cardio Supersets and etc)?

    I have done Pyramid Lower Body, which is my all time favorite. :wink:

    Hi Ladies ~ Spinning last night was an endurance based workout, which for Katy means non-stop spinning for an hour. It was a great class and packed. Today’s workout was X10 and tonight I am going to have a relaxing evening at home and pack a bag because tomorrow right after work (leaving early) and DH and I are headed to a dinner event with friends so we are staying the night at a fancy hotel and they invited us to an Epicuren Event – it’s a fund raiser. So we decided to stay the night and make a fun event out of it. We will be back on Sat.

    Laurie: Great job with STS! I’m glad you will be having time off during the holiday’s, that is awesome. I’m not sure what I will be doing for Christmas. My mom will most likely come for a visit which will be nice. As a “newbie” at my new job I will not take much time off other than one day probably, we will see. Yes, my vacation remained the same, which is amazing. Plus I get some extra holiday days off that I don’t get currently. Kind of like a bank. So it will be really nice having some extra days here and there or even some of them it is just a half day.

    Laurel: YOWSA! Way to work today and get that combo in, although I would say you got in more than a double! Yes, I am headed to Los Angeles and I am hoping for sunshine. Which it always seems to be sunny there so it will feel really good. Yes, I could hug a palm tree, she has a few in her yard.

    Hi Thelma!

    Talk to you ladies tomorrow I hope, if not I will check in on Saturday. If we get a good picture all dressed up I will share it with you all.

    Lingo10: Welcome! I would highly recommend Cathe’s LIS! All of the workouts are great. One of them causes me a little confusion on the footwork (I believe it is called Low Impact Step) because I can be choreography challenged with step workouts. But all of the others are amazing workouts ~ Total Body Tri-Sets is one of my all time favorites in that batch! Feel free to ask any questions, not sure if you were thinking about the whole set or individual workouts.

    Tami
