Hi Everyone!
TGIF!
What does everyone have planned for the weekend? I will do my regular stuff. I won't do major grocery shopping, only for what we need this weekend. I will stay far, far away from the mall. I had to make the final company deposits today and got stuck in traffic for an hour! The bank is by the mall and I didn't think there would be a problem today.
Check-In: Les Mills Combat Power Kata 45 w/weighted gloves
I wanted to say that I was very luke warm about the Combat workouts in the beginning. They are starting to grow on me now. Still not touching those Hiit workouts. Still don't like them and that's all I am saying about that!
Using the pumped up music option along with the captions on screen have made a huge difference for me. Once I learn the workouts, I won't need to use the captions. There are a few moves that I am liking. It's the extra moves side to side where you do a "fake". I also like to do the hook close then the hook farther out. I am starting to like the feel that the workouts are more real and more powerful. I'm not sure if this has been mentioned, but also you can skip through all of the warnings, etc. You cannot do this with some of the other workouts. I am still very disappointed that the 60 minute workout is 53 minutes and there is floor work at the end. I would have loved a real 60 minute cardio workout.
Santa showed up! It was the man that owns the hardware store. He had a beautiful basket delivered. It had fresh fruit, cheese, crackers, nuts, candy and a small bottle of wine. He is a real sweetheart. There have been times that he needed help with something, so he would call us. DH would go help with whatever it was. His DD does his office work. She was out having a baby, so I stepped in and helped out at the time. It's nice to be able to work together like that. So, it's good to know that "Santa" wasn't some freaky stalker.
Laura I can totally relate to being a food addict, too. DH wanted to go to a seafood and prime rib buffet tonight. This place has really good food, not typical buffet stuff. I went but ordered my regular off the menu. OMG! It was so hard! I know that I would not have been able to eat in moderation. It's TTOM and I would probably gain 4 pounds of water weight alone. I know we are going on the cruise, so I have plenty of time to eat then. But it was soooooooo hard at the time. I felt so good and proud of myself when we left though. I know that I did the right thing for me. At the time I felt like a pissy 3 year old, though.
I did the Kata workout today!
Teacher The cruise is for 5 days. I don't really consider it 5 days since we leave at 4 PM on the first day and return at 8 AM on the last day.
That's more than enough time for me to get into trouble, so I'm not complaining.
I am planning to get to the ship early on the day we leave. I think they said we can get there as early as 11 AM. We are only 15 minutes away from the port.
I always use the gloves too for each workout! Good job at dinner with ordering off of the menu...it's SO hard! You'll have such a great time on your cruise 
What are your plans for Christmas?
