I have the lighter gloves without the wrist support. My hands and fingers are very small and the size small fits perfectly. However the gloves themselves are just OK. I am glad I bought them on sale but I would not buy again. I suspect they are going to fall apart sooner than later.

Way to go, @Lannette ! Cathe provided the amazing blueprint but you put in the work work! I am so looking forward to following an LMR rotation after I conclude the Heather Robertson 5.0 program on YT. I think LMR will be a great follow-up rotation.

I recently read Forever Strong by Dr Gabrielle Lyon. She favors a more protein based diet (meat, preferably) but does say carbs are important. The book contains science without being too technical, and includes strength training tips as well as the dietary framework mentioned above. It's worth a...

That makes sense, thank you for explaining. Gosh it is so easy to develop imbalances. Kudos to you for your body awareness.

@Lannette Congratulations on your results and that you're feeling so well with this program. I love the idea of tacking on CS. How do you access CS? Did you buy the program, do you stream it? Thanks!

We have an LG washer (front load) and dryer from Costco. Our second set of LGs and they have served us well. We are a large family and run lots of loads of laundry.

Cathe, you're Halloween shenanigans are always so much fun!

Just made my purchase to renew my subscription! This is an even better deal than what is historically offered on Black Friday. Yay!!!

I'm really looking forward to this one!
