I love these types of breakfasts. I need to fill my fridge. I had to throw out all of my pickled jalapeños and hot sauces when I moved. It's time to restock!

OK-
I am in with a 28 minute arms and abs circuit. I don't know if it's just the stress of moving, but my gosh, I am struggling to get through these workouts. This was mostly a body weight circuit, but the abs section killed me. I hate doing straight legged sit ups. I am too long in the torso for that! I just modified and did what I could. My arms are shaking, though. My legs are still sore from Wednesday's workouts, too! LOL
I unpacked a total of two boxes today. Haha. I am just exhausted. I even took a nap today! I never nap unless I am sick. I am just going to go with it and not beat myself up about it. I'll get a few more high quality sleeps under my belt and I should be back to normal.

Congrats and welcome! I let loose a bit at WDW, too. I usually just try things I can't get anywhere and I figure all the walking mitigates the scale damage--at least I hope it does.
Walking is huge at WDW and we all get our fair share of it there. We burn calories there so we can eat more. I wouldn't eat like a glutton, but splurging on vacation is fine. The key is staying active and staying away from Junk Foods the majority of the time. Nothing wrong with a Mickey Head Ice Cream Bar in moderation though, but not 14 of them in a weeks trip.

Of course on the other hand if you didn't check in and look at all the food pictures you probably wouldn't need to work out as much. Catch 22.
So true, the food looks delicious.

Got back from two weeks in WDW last week. I gave myself several days to recover. Didn't feel too good for a couple of days (female issues), but now I'm getting back to working out.
Yesterday I only did about 20 minutes. I did two 10-minute segments on my Pilates DVD, the ab workout and arm and shoulder shaper.
Today, I wandered around Target, and decided while I was wandering to get some decent workout clothes and stop working out in old t-shirts and my PE shorts from high school. I bought two new athletic shirts, a pair of legging that are supposed to come down to halfway down the knee on most people but are down to my ankles (still look good though) and a better pair of athletic shorts that fit better.
And before you ask, I didn't just wander Target and buy workout clothes. I actually used them. I did 30 minutes on my mini trampoline and then 30 minutes on the statinary bike. Tomorrow will probably be a strength training and abs day, Sunday another cardio day, and then we'll see next week as I am restarting school and starting a new job. Thinking Mondays will be off days.
I'm thinking about investing in a Fitbit. I'm doing a long three week trip to California and then to WDW in January, and it would be interesting to see how many steps I do in DL per day vs. WDW, but I think I need to do some research. I don't want to be nagged by it if I lay on my bed all day because I have a migraine or asthma symptoms, which does happen.

Concerning the Fitbit you will not be nagged by it at all if you have a day that you don't put it on and use it and just lay around in your room. When you use it the Fitbit will count your steps as well as Calories burned and other things according to the one you invest in. I think it is a wonderful investment especially if you do a lot of walking or workouts.

Another good place for workout clothes is Old Navy. Sign up for their email and you'll get notice of their sales. Last fall, I got two pairs of capris, 3 tanks and 2 sports bras for $80 all in--shipping included. I once bought a tank top and yoga shorts at Lululemon and it cost me $112 for two pieces. Never again. Don't get me wrong, they are cute and I bought them about three years ago. But they don't have the gusset in the shorts, just a regular seam and because of that some yoga poses aren't so comfortable.
I have a Fit Bit One and it doesn't make any noise or vibrate to "nag" me into motion. I notice if I put it flat on a surface, after a minute the little screen will flash something like, "MOVE IT" or STEP ON IT," but it's silent.

Got in a good walk today, but the heat and humidity are back after a bit of a relief a few days ago. More low to mid-90s for us for the next few days.

OK, so this is kinda unrelated, but my wife bought me a suit coat, two pairs of pants, a white dress shirt and a checker Chaps casual shirt yesterday at Kohl's. It was all on clearance and she also had the Kohl's 30% off if using the Kohl's card coupon. It came out to a little more than $88 for the entire purchase. On the receipt, at the bottom, it proclaimed, "You save $441 today."
She did not find it funny when I told her to go shopping some more and save us enough to buy a convertible. She did not find it funny the last time I told her that either.
The correct response apparently was "Thank you dear for the lovely new clothes and for being so thrifty in the process."

Hello-
I went for a walk today to see how long it would take to for my son to get to his new HS, since he lives too close for bus service and then I did a Jessica Smith workout when I got back. Other than that, I have just been busy putting my house in order.

LOL Kohl's is notorious for marking up their merchandise and then having these "mega, blow out" sales. My mom shops there and she's always telling me, "Look, I saved $X on all of this stuff."
What she said. You can always add veggies to bulk up your meals without adding calories
THNX I got back last night in the middle of the night. I didn't get much sleep because it was farm market Saturday and there was no food in my house. I did some easy yoga before heading out.Hello everyone! Just been outside finally finishing up some painting while we have been dry. Now, I need to select the color for my house. It takes me forever to decide. But, I picked up two samples today and I actually like one of them. We will see.
We have been getting in our walking every evening after dinner which has been nice. Not fighting thunderstorms has been nice for a change. I had to start the week slow and build up. I think I had food poisoning Sat night. Not pretty! But, my DH and I ate the exact same things all day. What is up with that? Anyways, I have been eating everything in sight since then. I am not going to worry about the extra calories since I lost some Sat night.
Hope everyone has a gorgeous weekend. DH is on call so hoping those storms stay away and he doesn't have to work. Hope @figmentfan423 is returning home safely and let's us know when she gets back!
