Found you :D I really tried to make a rotation that was fun and stretched me. I backed off on GymStyles for July - it was just too hard for me right now. And, I am not doing any circuit work so I can focus on weight and cardio separately. Next month - maybe circuit will be the focus...

Hey Ladies! Yesterday was CRAZY! Play date for my youngest - sore teeth for my oldest - and, a hair appointment for me thrown in for good measure! It was go, go, go all day! Thanks so much for the recipes - I will be incorporating them into my meals this week - I have got a couple to...

Hey Everyone! Hi Stacy! ;) Wanted to post this morning - but, had to take my oldest to the orthodontist to begin the "braces process!" :eek: Needless to say - she was a little nervous. July Rotation almost complete - went through my entire DVD collection - put DVDs that were too easy...

Well - I am blessed - GUESS WHAT MY HUSBAND ORDERED FOR ME and CAME IN TODAY?! :D:D:D Shock Cardio with CATHE! :D:D:D Can you believe it? He said that I have been working hard and it was a reward! Now - that is motivating. :D Well - today is planning day for the week and for July...

Well - just got back from my personal trainer appt. at the YMCA - was concerned about the qualifications of someone at the YMCA - but, was blessed with an "exercise/nutrition graduate schooled sports therapist" lady who wanted an easier schedule for her mom lifestyle - so, she ended up at the...

Linda - about being in the forties and it taking time - that is right! Thanks for the encouragement! :D Stacy - okay - you are right. I believe I am going to be overtraining if I follow my original schedule. I think the components are essentially right - but, the amount of time is way...

Linda - yes - we are all talking at the same time - and, I love it! I love your rotation - if I remember correctly, you are on maintenance right? You are not really needing to lose weight? You are wanting to increase your endurance in cardio and basic strength - is that right? If so -...

Stacy - here is the "Checklist" from BFFM about nutritional goals each day - reminded me of your healthy eating list... 1. Eating fewer calories than you burn 2. Properly balancing your macro-nutrient ratios 3. Eating five or six meals per day, properly timed 4. Eating lean proteins with...

Linda - I would love to see your July Rotation. Slow and Heavy is a DVD I would like to get sometime - maybe after this challenge is over first of September? Here is some information from the BFFM book regarding exercise: For cardio (which means within your targeted heart range 80% of the...

Thanks ladies for the input - Stacy - T-Tapp BWO+ is 15 minutes of isometrics (no weights) - kind of like yogaish slow calisthenics...not hard. So, day 3 and 5 do not have weights with them... Generally - the times would be: Morning: cardio (45-60m), abs (8-20m), yoga (20m) TOTAL =...

Stacy - Gauntlet! Where is that - in STS? That sounds scary. I am here trying to type while my triceps and chest muscles just shake - just finished GymStyle Chest and Triceps! :D:D LOVED IT! :D:D Thanks Stacy for the recommendation. Linda - check-in went great! Did gain pounds - but...

Hey Everyone! Gotta say hi quickly. We are celebrating Father's Day today. Bar-be-que for lunch :eek: and a boxing bag for a gift. Go figure! :rolleyes: My cycle has haunted me this week - being tired, cramps, etc. I fundamentally believe I must be peri-menopausal! :mad: However -...

Yea! Stacy's back! :D:D I'll be working out with you in the morning - LowMax on schedule. ;) Completed StepBlast this morning - I think it will become one of my favorites AFTER I figure out all the steps - going airborne is NOT my favorite thing. :o Linda - love the rebounder idea...

Stacy - take your time - don't force things. You will pull out of this! :D Linda - thanks for the food list. The fridge system is working well. BTW - what do you do on the rebounder? Just jump - or, do you have a routine of sorts? I have one - but, don't use it! Would love you...
