I think week one of year 2008 got to a good start for the 3 of us. My arms are aching today from PUB yesterday. Fitfairy, you are so right about that premix being a good workout. Actually, I rarely do the entire time. Anyway, today I walked on the treadmill again. I walked for 40 minutes at...

Hello Ladies. I haven't checked in for a few days. I did work out 4 days last week which is better than what I have been doing lately. I am enjoying my holiday weekend. Using it to catch up on some much needed cleaning, laundry, etc. around the house. So my workout for the past few days has...

Oh my Ladies. I hope you are doing well. I have to come to you ladies and admit that I didn't wash any cars yesterday. I only held the signs at the traffic light with the kids. I also had a late dinner last night. So, while lying in bed, I could hear fitfairy say "get up and do those...

Rose, I am glad that your mom and close friend are supporting you during the loss of your cat. It is always comforting to have someone to talk to. As far as your back, don't push it. You definitely don't want to re-injure it. Did you get a chance to go back to the doctor yet, or is that...

After the last few workouts, I wasn't sure if I were going to be able to workout today. However, I got up enough energy to do Interval Max and I had fun....believe it or not.... in the midst of feeling my aching muscles on some of those step moves. My eating was better last week, but not as...

Hello Ladies. I can' t believe that it is April already, and we are beginning month #4 of the challenge. I started my morning with the cardio portion of Body Max 2. I haven't really thought about goals for this month as I didn't really accomplish my goal for last month. I had too many "bad...

Hello Ladies. We are well into March. I started off with Rythmetic Step today minus the bonus part when they combine all the moves. I was just too exhausted by then. I worked out for a total 4 days this past week and had 2 small sweet treats for the whole week so I will say the week was a...

Hello Ladies. It is time for me to re-focus at get back to the way things were. It was an "off" week for me last week, but I cannot continue that way. I do not plan to start my week off baking a cake or cookies, even though my kids enjoy them so much. I had been able to enjoy just the weekend...
