Good Saturday afternoon! Went to my huge neighborhood's spring garage sale this morning. It's so much fun :). I was looking for workout dvd's but didn't find any that I wanted. Bought a couple of cook books and a few other items. Just got back from my 3 mile walk with my dogs. Our new dog isn't...

Good Tuesday afternoon! Today I am doing Amy Bento Slo-Mo Legs. Those Jefferson squats are murder! I like this DVD, so I'd like to acquire some more Amy Bento workouts. Mondays are normally a rest day for me, but because my schedule was thrown off last week b/c of vaca, I did Slo-Mo Back & Chest...

Good Wednesday evening :) Tonight I am doing Trisets Chest/shoulders/Tris. I also add dips. Amelia--112 lbs! Wow, that is dedication! Insofar as your plateau with weight loss, they say that changing things up is key. That could mean adding more calories for a few days (which seems...

Happy Tuesday morning! (I love Tuesdays because I am off work :D) Today I will do Xtrain Legs. I don't know how you ladies do more than one workout per day! It's all I can do to complete one workout. Already took Stella on her walk as it will be stormy today. We are already having to use the...

Happy Friday!! Today I am doing Lean Legs & Abs (yesterday was a rest day). Impressed that you ladies can do step workouts. For some reason, when you throw a step in the mix, I have two left feet :o, so no step workouts for me. I can't afford another injury. Hopefully the warmer weather has...
