3 hr exercise to overcome Our African Christmas but keep the goat meat please!
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!
I have to get to blogs and the forums soon. Hope everyone enjoyed the day with the family.
Rod and I “Slept” in till noon. It’s the best way to spend our 2nd Christmas morning together. I gave him my gift - me wrapped in a big red bow. He loved it. It was priceless. 
We went to his mom’s to enjoy a traditional African dinner with his cousins who just immigrated here from Kenya. They are great people.
We had the usual soul food, but real soul food. TO die for. Everything from the veggies to the meat was made with love and ahhhhh, I’m surpised I only ate one plate.
In honor of her niece and nephews, she made African goat dishes. Yah, tried that once and I had to pass. It was way too gamie.
I am proud of myself - Just one small slice of cheesecake and 1 cookie.
Tomorrow I have a plan of attack! 3 hours of exercise to get rid of the cookies, chips and other stuff I ate the last few days.
I’ll be up a couple hours early to eat for energy for class. First is kickboxing in the morning to jump start my metabolism.
Then home to eat for the next 2 hour block of exercise. 2nd class a new class SHADOWBOXING lead my the manager for group X. To finish off the day, 3rd class is a yoga class to stretch out all of tired muscles.
I am excited that Christmas is over. Now it’s time for taste testing all the classes I don’t normally have time for because of work.
The best gift I got, was from my sister. She crocheted a beautiful scarf for me. This time it has more meaning because it symbolize how far she’s come from being a drug addict to being sober for 2 years and being a mom to both her boys.

Update! It’s 3pm - GOAL ACCOMPLISHED. I’m tired. The shadowboxing class kicked my ass.
All three classes in. I’m going to take a shower and take a nice long nap!
Sounds like you had a good holiday. Goat meat, yeah I think I’ll just stick to goat cheese if anything. I need to get to something tomorrow but since I live in the midwest all classes are cancelled tomorrow too
I will have to figure something out…
I hope you figure out something too Holly. If you have a jump rope handy, I say use it. I’m going to 2 different gyms to get everything in tomorrow.
I know what you are talking about with the goat meat. I have had that here and don’t like it and the smell doens’t really mix with me either. Sounds like you had a great christmas and such different kinds of food!

Nancy, it sounds like you had a wonderful day surrounded by new “family” and that is a wonderful gift indeed. Good for your sister for keeping herself clean for 2 years! That too is a blessing indeed. Thinking I’m going to try to hit Zumba this evening as Chris is going to the country.

Consider yourself CAUGHT Debbie! LOL
Nancy, I truly admire your determination and stamina with the exercising. Very inspiring. Sounds like you had a good Christmas. So pleased to hear that your sister is doing well. Aren’t the homemade gifts just THE best in the world?
I’ve eaten goat meat where I liked it, and then eaten it where I hated it, so I guess it depends on how it’s prepared.
Hope you have a fantastic day!
Huggggggggggggggggs,
Shan
Got the kickboxing class in! 1 down, 2 more to go!
Whooo hoo!
Wow, 3 hours! Go girl!
I’d want to do 3 hours but I use my computer batter to workout (workout dvds) and it only lasts about an hour and a half or so…
Glad you enjoyed Christmas day!
