Hi ,

You're doing great with your workouts on vacation!! I just picked up

a two pack of Caribbean workouts myself! One is called Aerobics and

the other is called Kickboxing. It says they both have 4 20 min

workouts on them. Sounds similar to the one you did. And it sounds

like I will like them - better yet, lol!

And reese's are PURE evil!! I'm a reeses addict! I don't usually

have them around, but around Halloween, Christmas and Easter I

usually cave in. Those pumpkins, Christmas trees, and that darn

Reester bunny get me! But, I've sort of accepted it now, heh. I

bought a pack of pumpkins last week and it didn't last a day! A side

note - Reeses do not make a good pre-workout snack. Ahem. And my DH

doesn't really like them, so if I buy some I can't even pawn any off

on him. I love the big cups, too but I don't see those around

much, thank goodness.
