Diana- thanks for sharing your story. People can be so rude. That stinks that your MIL choose to be selfish and mean to you. It's so good that your DH is so supportive.

Laura- my bday is on Thurs. the 20th. I'm turning 33

This weekend is flying by....

today- elip 30 min

Hi Everyone!

Check-In: Combat 60 Live w/weighted gloves

Laura A friend on another forum has done both of the Combat 30 workouts. She is more observant than I am. She said that 2 tracks are the exact same on the two workout, but the rest are different. She did the Live 30 with the pumped up music option and said it was a lot better.

Today I did Live 60 w/pumped up music and captions. With the pumped up music I couldn't hear the instructors very well. This won't be as much of a problem after I do the workout a couple more times. With that said, I LOVED the workout with the pumped up music. I didn't know the music was that good on this workout until I pumped up the music. In fact, it was so much fun when MC Hammer came on with "Don't touch this". I was gettin' down with my bad self, then I realized that I should be punching. It was a very fun workout today!

Teacher Do you have any special birthday plans?

[teacher1]

Diana- no real big plans for my bday... probably going to lunch with my DH & Sat. dinner with the family

today- rest... but I did get in lots of house cleaning

[TurboLaura]

Hey ladies!

Diana - I feel better knowing that the two workouts are different! Agreed that the music was awesome! I was singing it all night

Teacher = happy almost bday!

Tonight - Turbo Jam Cardio kickin core...awesome workout!

On track with eating today. It's been tough for me the past full week and I was starting to feel down...

[Diana3271]

Hi Everyone!

Check-In: TF Fire 55 EZ

Teacher Cleaning is definitely a workout!

Laura Hang in there with your eating. Dig deep and find that focus. The holidays are really tough, I know. I have been avoiding all holiday foods. I will have plenty of that on the cruise.

[teacher1]

Diana- when do you leave for your cruise? I know it's around Xmas. Yes, there will be plenty of food on the cruise

today- elip 30 min

[Diana3271]

Hi Everyone!

Check-In: Les Mills Combat 60 w/weighted gloves

I think this one is different than the Live 60. I'm not very observant with workouts. I tried to put power into the workout to help with the intensity. Rach got on my nerves when she mentioned about needing a bucket because the workout was so tough. NOT! I must be doing something wrong because it is no where near getting sick in a bucket intense.

Teacher We leave Christmas day. I finally finished shopping for the clothes that I need. I am glad that's over with! Good job on the elliptical. How is your hip. Overall, is there much improvement?

[teacher1]

Diana- That is such an exciting xmas plan!!! You're going to have so much fun The hip is so much better during the day.. no sharp pain but during the night and in the morning it hurts. After Xmas, I need to up the workouts and see how it goes. Such a pain in the butt!

Laura- when is your winter break?

We might actually get some snow tonight. If so, it will be the first snow of the year.

today- cleaned my parents carpet... we're on a cleaning kick to get ready for the holidays

[Diana3271]

Hi Everyone!

Check-In:
About 20 minutes of Combat 45 w/weighted gloves
1000 Jump Ropes

I kept getting interrupted today while I was dong the Combat workout. I finally gave up and did jump ropes. It's easier to start and stop jumping rope than take off weighted gloves.

My TTOM started today. I sure hope this is a short one for me and it's over by the time we leave for our trip.

Something weird came in the mail today at work. It's a letter from Santa Clause addressed to me personally. It said that he is coming to visit and to bring gifts. The inside is a "form" letter. The outside was handwritten.

I kinda think it's from the man at the hardware store down the street, but I don't know. He came by last week to bring me a poinsettia. He brings them every year. But I'm not sure about this letter. Odd! Now I am paranoid.

Teacher I sure wish your hip would heal and you have no other problems. Maybe you will have snow for Christmas. Do you normally have it Christmas day? I hope tomorrow is a great day for you! Happy Birthday!

[TurboLaura]

Hey ladies!!

Diana - you must be all excited for your trip! Is this your first time to the Caribbean? Nice workouts! Clearly you're in great shape
Very weird letter...I'd be kinda paranoid, too.

Teacher - HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!! Very exciting My vacation is all next week and Mon and Tues of the following week. Looking forward to it. People are acting really crazy at school this week...kids, parents and teachers. UGH. Lots of stress about the shooting in CT.

Yesterday I did the Les Mills Combat Hiit 1 - LOVED IT! Feeling it in my legs today. Today I taught my hour cardio kick boxing class. Lots of fun!

Take care

[teacher1]

Diana- thanks for the birthday wishes!!! It does normally snow around xmas time and surprise the first snow came last night. It was very pretty to wake up to but the icy roads were no fun. I agree the Santa letter is a little creepy.

Laura- thanks for the birthday wishes!!! Your break is so close I'm sure it's been terrible since the CT shooting. I can't even watch it on TV just makes me cry.

I didn't get a workout in today. I had to take my older sister to the dentist since she needed someone to drive her home. Went to lunch with DH and then hung out at my parents house. Everyone have a great night.

[TurboLaura]

Happy Birthday TEACHER! YAY!

Tonight - Hiit 25 and upper 20. Finally back on track - 4 days eating well and I feel awesome again!

[Diana3271]

Hi Everyone!

Check-In: Combat 60 w/weighted gloves (no floor work)

I really like this workout but would like it even more if it was 60 minutes of cardio.

Teacher I hope you had a great day!

Laura Good job getting back on track. Are you having issues with the holiday foods or just food in general?

[TurboLaura]

Great workouts Diana! Teacher, I hope that you enjoyed your day!

Diana, I truly think I'm a food addict and when I eat some type of unhealthy food my brain goes WILD and I need more and more and more. Even when it;s things like almonds or PB I will REALLY overeat and then just wante to keep eating. I have to stick with 3 meals and 2 snacks, 1200-1500 cals a day and mainly veggies, beans, hummus, vegan shakes with almond milk and tofu. I stay totally on track and feel great. Clearly I have a serious emotional connection with food too. Weigh in tomorrow and it;s been a while...hoping for 150-152.

Today I'm trying the Kata 45 workout! Looking forward to it!

Diana - SO excited for your for your trip!

[teacher1]

Laura- I know what you mean about being addicted to food. I really struggle once I start eating some foods- like cheese and sweets.

Diana- how long is your cruise?

today- elip 30 min
