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 -...

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...
