the battle of turkey is over LOL

i haven't checked in for a few days. so weds. i did yoga burn from rodney yee. this is from the kit with the gloves with removable weights(up to 1.5 if i believe)and to not be confused with the 60 min workout of the same name from him. he should have tweeked the titles a bit. the workout with the kit focuses on some posture work and a little bit of flow and stretching. his leads while his girlfriend demonstrates. a great workout and i actually got the 45 min workout done. its been awhile for longer yoga workouts!

yesterday was tough b/c i didn't sleep well and just didn't have energy. i did attempt CIA step power pump but only half way through. by combo 3 or 4 the choreography was getting a bit tricky and i just couldn't keep up with the cueing. i stopped and did some combination total body moves with 5lb weights and began my cooking. i ate alot throughout the day with veggies and maybe not so good items and only had one plate of food at dinner time. but two pieces of my mom's pumpkin pie YUM! everything was fresh right down to the cranberry sauce. nothing came out of a box all home cooked goodness!except the marshmallows i put on the sweet potatoes LOL.

this morning was yoga but i switched to make up for yesterday and i had some energy. i did rachel hunter's kickboxing workout. pretty slow paced for a kickboxing workout but enough to call it workout! its really led by a martial artist and she just interjects comments workouts. i followed with carmen electra's fit to strip lower body and abs premix. this are pretty good workouts from the first set. nothing tough tough but something fun to get moving. the fit to strip dvd is all light strength/toning work led by micheal carson. IIRC micheal was in a few kathy smith workouts with his tight toned self. they also throw in some stretching inbetween exercises so i got alot more extra stretching with it.

evening workouts are still tough but i am going to keep trying to fit it in one day at a time!

i did a thankgiving giveaway at videofitness. i have mailing out 5 grab bag packages today. i also benfitted from folks giving away some of their dvds too so it evened out well to i get something new to try and some of my unused workouts get a new home. really weeding out the collection b/c i think part of motivation is being confused by all the workouts i do have. not to mention all the books i can do strength and toning on my own! i am really cutting down on the strength workouts except cathe,amy and CIA workouts but most of it is now cardio,yoga and pilates of mixed instructors. thankful for what i do have though b/c i think i have some great workouts and lucky enough to be able to afford to get them!

off to finish breakfast of leftover cranberry sauce a slice of hame and one egg. with my coffee and skim milk of course.
