Thursday Night Christmas Party

I am back!!! Hi friends I missed you all yesterday sorry for being MIA I was home sick all day trying to catch up on my zzzzz’s! I have had this awful cough that keeps creeping up at night and keeps me awake. Yesterday I finally took some coughing medicine and slept in until 10AM!!! It felt great and I am glad to be back and ready to tackle this Friday before HOLIDAY!

Last night we had our Thursday Night Group Christmas Party!

That party looks like it was so much fun! Of course all the pictures you post of parties look like a lot of fun =)

I am glad you got to catch up on your sleep and I hope it has helped you to feel better.

I will give that 20 minute boot camp a try after work today. As always, thanks so much for posting these. It really helps to motivate me and remind me to take that extra time to ensure I am making healthy choices!

I just wanted to tell you that I really enjoy your blog. I check it everyday. I love all of your pictures. You have been making me rather hungry with all of your gatherings but I am standing strong. You have a beautiful smile to boot. Have a great Christmas.

Glad you are feeling better!! Sometimes, sleep is just what the Dr. ordered!! The party looks like it was a hit! Love the everyone bring a soup idea! Love the new bootcamp, I'm sure I will be trying it out sometime this week!!

Lauren said...

Looks like such a wonderful party! We did a chili bar for new years last year and it worked out beautifully. Hope you are feeling better hun. Make sure to get tons of rest because the last thing you want is to be sick over Christmas!!!! :)

Take care, have fun tonight, and ENJOY your vacation!!!!

Hey Bobbi! I think its amazing how you've been getting together with the same group of friends for 2 years! Very cool :)
I also just wanted to say that I noticed you haven't had many back exercises in your mini boot camp's. Since you already have weights it would be super easy to throw some reverse fly's or bent-over row's in there to complete the total body workout! Merry Christmas :)

the party looks like a blast!
