Robyn -- What wonderful news! I'm so happy for you! Juli

Actually 25 minutes of cardio should burn MORE calories because of the afterburn on two days instead of one. Juli

Count me in the "house issue" group!!! Ever since we started on this basement project, things are not as neat as they used to be and I accept that. In my younger days, I probably would have stressed, but I've been forewarned by all my friends that things will be out of kilter for at least 4-6...

Hi All -- I haven't posted much this week because things have been hectic but I've been really good about my workouts. I even broke out Standing Legs (remember that killer???) and did it with my heaviest! FS -- How's it going toward your goals? You're smart to have only a few select...

Hi FS & Bita -- I didn't post a lot last week, but I'm glad there are still a few of us hanging in. The Ya ya board has frustrated me so much in the past that I just don't want to bother with it. Finished the SELF Challenge yesterday. Did exceptionally well until the last two weeks...

I'm sad, too. I always have terrible problems logging in to the Ya Ya site so I'll have to pass on following everyone over there. It's been great getting to know all of you. You're all great women. My best to each of you. Juli

Hi All -- Just a quick post. I'm helping DH paint the basement, we're having it finished. I plan to do some ragging and today we put down the base coat. Tomorrow is the contract color. Did CC2 last night. Really needed the stress relief. Robyn, thanks to you as well for the kind...

Hi All -- Many thanks for all your kind words and thoughts regarding my kitty. I am confident that I did the right thing for her even though it was hard. It's terribly hard to give up a beloved member of my family, even the four-legged variety. It's so weird not to have to feed her before...

Hi All -- I wanted to start with an uplifting topic today but I'll try later. It's a sad one for me because later this afternoon I have to have one of my kitties put to sleep. She has lung cancer and started to really deteriorate over the weekend. Two years ago, the vet said she had about 3...

Hi Ladies -- It's a hectic week with my DH traveling, so my post will be short. Did Vol. 4 tonight, had to do a shorter w.o. and that one's only 45 minutes. Effective, though. Janice -- So sorry to hear about your FIL. Hopefully, it's been caught early. He will be in my prayers along with...

Hi Ladies -- Gorgeous day here in Cincinnati; last night went to the driving range for my "extra" activity with the SELF Challenge. I'm in the final weeks. I can tell that TTOM will arrive soon, so I'm planning to do a yoga tape tonight. I sleep SOOO soundly on the nights I do yoga...

Hi Jessica -- I don't know much about the new FIRMS but I'm a big fan of the original classics, especially Vol. 1, 2, & 3. These are total body workouts combining aerobics and weights. I think they are only available in VHS, not DVD. I've done these tapes for years and they can be tough...

Denise -- Thank you so much for posting this important reminder. Last year I had to have a biopsy for a "suspicious" cluster of microcalcifications. No lump. This could have only been found by mammogram. Luckily, it turned out to be benign. Even if it had been malignant it would have...

Saturday workout Hi All -- Today was Vol.3 plus PM yoga (even though I work out in the morning). On Saturdays, I always do a longer tape and I've started adding yoga stretches because I think the yoga is helping my golf. DH didn't work out with me today because he went to Men's Prayer...

Hi Ladies -- Gorgeous day in Cincinnati again! It's hard to make myself do a video when it's so nice outside. Discipline prevailed, though, and DH and I did the majority of Vol. 1. It's getting busy at work (a big improvement!) so I'm feeling good about that. Where is everyone...

Hi All -- I missed posting yesterday. Life wasn't as planned yesterday, things were hectic with the construction and other small projects around the house. Isn't it amazing how it all happens at once? I didn't work other, either, but plan to rectify that tonight. DH has promised to...

Hi All -- Gloria -- What a great way to start the week! I've seen that site before, and enjoyed it just as much the second time around. By the way, congrats on the funds raiser. And .... I think 3.2 miles counts as a w.o. Fitdoc -- that Slim Series sounds like it's worth checking out...

Hi All -- What a great weekend it has been here in Cincy. Great day to weed my garden and the landscaping. Takes me a couple of hours. Afterward did Core Cardio 2 -- had to get in another cardio for the week because of the SELF Challenge. My DH and I are going out to play 9 holes after we...

Hi All -- It's a gorgeous day in Cincinnati, so DH and I walked Sharon Woods for our workout. Didn't work out yesterday, we went to the Reds game with some friends. My boss gave me tickets and a parking pass. The new stadium is absolutely awesome. Too bad I can't say the same for the team...

Hi All -- Just a brief check-in 'cause life is hectic this week. Last night was date night so no w.o. Tonight is ladies prayer group and I'm the leader, so no w.o. tonight either. Have to figure out a way to work one in for tomorrow. The weekend gets lots less hectic. Thanks to everyone...
