Good morning, Y'All! Sorry to be absent so much, but my coursework is getting a little more intense, and at the same time, I am trying to get the house cleaned up, gifts wrapped, and all the other Christmas chores done. Also, I had a little episode about two weeks ago with my blood...

Good Morning, Y'All! Beth, smaller tights?! Great for you! :D Jann, I think shopping is cardio. At least a lap around the grocery store is for me! Still working on my course. Every day, I get closer to finishing it. I have a lecture today, and then there is some cleaning and gift...

Good Morning, Y'All! I am so sorry to have been totally absent, but am involved with crunch time on the course I am taking. There is so much reading! And I still have a research paper and final exam to go! I go on Facebook mostly to keep up with my son, his new girlfriend (she's nice...

Hi, Y'All! Wow, Jann! It's great that you are having such good weather! It is raining here, but not cold. I did The Firm Body Sculpt today. I used to think this workout was not so tough, but I have revised my opinion. I am either growing more mature, or three weeks of not doing...

Hi, Y'All! Jann, I am glad you are so talented horticulturally speaking. I absolutely have a brown thumb. My husband, however, could grow grass in a desert! I noticed during the trip that my flexibility needs a lot of work, so I decided to add my Classical Stretch dvd's on alternate days...

Hi, Y'All! Thanks, Beth, I'm really glad to be home. It was good to see my son and spend a little time with him. I'm nearly back to normal. Last week was pretty bad, though. I still start yawning about 8 pm every night, but I am able to hold out until about 10:30 or so. I decided to...

Hi, Y'All! Jann, the dvds look interesting. Maybe when I have a chance, I'll try the very first ones. I do find that I have to give myself a little more recovery time between workouts, it's age-related, I guess! But I am trying to build up my strength and stamina. Not too much luck this...

Hi, Y'All! I am sorry to have been absent again, but we left on vacation October 2 and only got back Tuesday of this week. DS is stationed in Stuttgart, and we went to see him. Had a wonderful time, but dh and I are having major jet lag this time, plus nasty sinus trouble. Working out...

Good morning, Y'All! Wow, I am impressed with your motivation! Yeah, we all have down days, but over all, I think you are all doing great. I am sitting here letting my breakfast settle, then I'm going to do Better Body and Buns (The Firm). I am still throwing in my most beloved Cathe...

Hi, Y'All! Joan, great that you have gotten a trainer. I think sometimes it helps motivate. Hope you see results very soon. Wow, Beth, what a worker you are! I'm impressed with your level of motivation! Kim, just keep hanging in there. And go to the doctor! I have spent the summer...

Hi, Y'All! Oh, Jann! So sorry I wasn't here when you asked! I think, however, you picked the best ones--both Reboots and both Figure 30s are best. I just bought the only one of hers I didn't have and it was one of the Longevity Series (Defined Lines). The Reboots are fun, and the Figure...

Hi, Y'All! Glad you are back, Beth. I do see you on FB some, you have a great looking family! I am taking a very demanding class in an MA program on line. It's almost harder than actually going to class, because you are responsible for setting your own work schedule. Yeah, it sounds easy...

Hi, Y'All! Joan, that's great! You have a plan and you're following it. Even if it is a little rushed, you are still working out! Good for you! I just did The Firm Volume 4. I really used to think this was easy, but that was 20 years ago (!!!!!?????) :eek: when it first came out. I can...

Good morning, Y'All! Wow, Kim. So very sorry to hear about your Mom, MIL and FIL! I hear you about not being able to really talk about it. I think we are always better off to take everything at our own pace! Know that you and your DH are in my thoughts and prayers. I have always believed...

Good morning, Y'All! Joan, at least you got something in, I know that things will improve for you. Sometimes it takes a few starts to get things just right as far as timing is concerned, but you will get into the "groove." Just hang in there! I hated to miss these couple of days posting...
