30 mins for me on the trainer last night while watching The Cutting Edge. It was a good ride. Tonight maybe I'll do some taebo....we'll see.

Michelle - that's neat about the calendar. I made one this year for my mother-in-law using the Snapfish site. It turned out really great, so I hope she likes it. That's wonderful about the care package you got!!

Cherrie - have fun at your work lunch today! I kind of miss having that office cheer. We don't have it here like I remember from the states. On the other hand, it sure is good for my diet!!

Everybody PUMP THE BRAKES on the holiday party/eating! Time for some preventative thinking strategies.. Sure, it tastes good to stuff your face at holiday time, but experts say that it's 74 million times harder to burn off that cream puff than it is to eat it. (Experts=Dr. Jhi). My plan for my holiday party is to not use a plate. Anything I eat has to fit between two fingers and whatever I can get in my hand on ONE trip is all I'll eat of the junk. Then I can binge on the veggie platter, w/o dip. (BTW i think dip is gross. Especially when it's warm and everyone has doble-dipped in it and there are chunks of broccoli or chips slooooooowly sinking in the little tub...)I for **** sure am not going to be the girl going back to the table 5 times. This means I'll probably get one cookie, then lots of celery or whatever.

Monnier: TOE PICK! Hahahahahah! Love that movie! Way to go on the trainer! I need to go back and look at the dresses. Hey! Since we've all seen it, everyone buy one and we can crash the wedding!

Michelizda, I hope you made it through the day without getting worse.. How nice that the local vendors know your name! THe calendar sounds really lovely.

Cherrie, good luck assembling/distributing all the toys. Your husband has very kind eyes.

Mary, omg, I cracked up at those slippers! I may actually make some of those for some women in my family. My mom pretends to be a prude so I can imagine her saying "Oh, Jhi.. really..." YOUR MILEAGE ROCKS!

Gen, welcome home! Get your a$$ running! Get a head start on your familial Biggest Loser program!

Hi *pandaj*!

Great workouts, *becky*!

I'm sure I missed someone because I only skimmed. But I gotta go.. Got another project added to my plate and I need to get cracking. Happy HUMP Day!

I am falling asleep.. I forgot that it takes a few days of morning workouts to not feel like a narcoleptic..
