    What I learned (warning, long!)

    Wow! I think that is wonderful! You are a very strong, a very mentally strong person. I agree with your assessment about the mental challenges - in something like this and really, in everything in life. I battle with positive thoughts (see, I just phrased it in a combative, negative way!)...

    Bike Ride for MS

    Hello, Not so long ago there was a post about auto-immune disease, so I thought I'd share that this weekend my bf and I did the MS 150 in Minnesota - a 150-mile bike ride that benefits the Minnesota Chapter of MS. Together we raised over $2,000 for the cause. I have a co-worker with MS...

    Hello

    Thanks guys for the suggestion so far. I had checked out both Spinnervals and CTS VERY briefly this morning and did not see any audio-only product; however, I did read that there is free sound-extracting software so I'll just have to decide how much I want to spend, and where I want to spend...

    Hello

    No, they just don't "get it" huh?

    I showed the online clip of Butts and Guts to a friend, male, who I work with to show him and when I told him I did that video a week later he said "oh, you mean the "just in case you're not dead yet, there's more to do video? " hehe

    Do I have to find my 1 rep max?

    In my experience.....as a fat person......people do not laugh, snicker or look down at you in the gym. Some just ignore you, cause they are there to work out; some glance your way, because peopel (like me) are curious and are always looking at their surroundings. In my experience......as a...

    Is anyone NOT ordering STS?

    I'll very likely order them today or tomorrow, after having peeked at my bank account and seeing it's not as low as I thought. I doubt I'll use them in a strictly 12-week cycle....at least at first, because I'm not quite sure what my fitness goals will be for '09 (i.e, thinking about...
