    TRANSFORMATION CHALLENGE 4/21-4/27

    Hi Ladies -- Had my mammo today. Since I had a biopsy last year, I have to have one every six months. The left breast had some microcalcifications but they don't seem to be in the pattern that raises the alarm. Back in six months for a follow-up. Not too alarming for me, but a little...

    Really bummed...

    Angela -- So sorry you're sick! Don't be surprised if you start feeling a little depressed; sickness, especially one with fatigue, can change your brain chemistry and make you feel a little down. Just realize that your body really does need rest more than anything so it can heal itself...

    TRANSFORMATION CHALLENGE 4/14 - 4/20

    Hi All -- Did Vol. 1 with DH tonight. I do that one about once a week, and my tape is beginning to wear. The sound fades in and out in certain places. Bought a new DVD -- Tamilee Webb's "I Want That Body". I read some good reviews on it. I'll try it out this weekend and let you know what...

    Dilemma - What Do You Do?

    I am NOT a morning person. Working out in the morning is not an option for me. I am a thyroid patient and even if I get up early, it takes awhile for me to get going and then I have to go to work. I work out 4-5 days a week. I make an appointment with myself (7:30 p.m. on worknight, 9 a.m...

    Great topic, Bita! Tonight was Yoga night (Forward Bends). Wish I had more time but it's one of those crazy days that just spilled over into the evening. Yoga's good on those days. Juli

    TRANSFORMATION CHALLENGE 4/7-4/13

    Hi Ladies -- Another gorgeous day in Cincinnati. My DH and I went to see "The loves of J. Robert Oppenheimer" at the Playhouse. (Can you tell that I love theater, from my recent postings). Very thought-provoking. This is a rest day, but not a rest day. DH sealed the garage floor last...

    TRANSFORMATION CHALLENGE 4/7-4/13

    Hi Ladies -- Another gorgeous day! Yesterday DH and I did our walk around Sharon Woods and it was great. Today is even more gorgeous, but I'm doing CC2. DH is cleaning the garage and sealing the concrete floor, so no walk for us. Got to run, it's a busy weekend. My best to all-- Juli

    Hi Ladies -- It's a beautiful day in Cincinnati and I'm on vacation today. I took a day off to have a long weekend with my DH. We're not going anywhere, we're just playing. Last night we went to see the Lion King. The show has been sold out for months, we were able to get tickets because...

    TRANSFORMATION CHALLENGE 4/7-4/13

    Hi All -- Did Vol. 1 last night along with some yoga stretches. Got a nice compliment from my hairdresser the other day. She said "You're the healthiest person I know. Your skin glows, you stay slim and your hair is beautiful. You just LOOK HEALTHY." Since my family has some severe health...

    I have had great success with the FIRM classics and continue to do them regularly. I don't like the new FIRMs because they're just too easy even when you heavy up. My faves are Vol. 1 and Vol. 3. and Super Sculpting. My husband like Vol. 1 and SS and will do them with me. These wo's are...

    TRANSFORMATION CHALLENGE 4/7-4/13

    Great topic, Gloria! Abs are my most challenging body part, even though I have a tiny waist. The lower abs can go from enviably flat to poochy overnight! The big difference for me is salt and water retention. No salt (Really tough for me) = flat tummy. Sunday is walk day for me and DH...

    TRANSFORMATION CHALLENGE!3/31-4/6

    Hi Ladies -- Did Vol. 3 this a.m. I've been feeling down for the past two days (I think it's a combo of illness and TTOM) It's rare for me to be down for any reason, so I'm just going to blame my hormones. All kidding aside, I was very motivated to workout to lift my mood. Did Vol. 3 and...

    TRANSFORMATION CHALLENGE!3/31-4/6

    Hi Ladies - I'm off from work today. As a sales rep, I can't afford to be down and draggy in front of my customers so I took a sick day. I took two (!!!) naps this morning. I hated to stay in the house because it will make me feel down so I pulled weeds this afternoon while my DH cut the...

    Hi Ladies -- Did KV's Yoga Sculpt last night. Didn't want anything too intense. Now DH has the "Fatigue Bug" too. Both of us are under the weather. I see a nap in my future ..... Otisan -- great job on your weight loss! Three pounds is 10,500 calories that you had the willpower not...

    TRANSFORMATION CHALLENGE!3/31-4/6

    Hi All -- Can sickness be transmitted over the Internet? I'm really achy like most you. Oh No! Last night I went to bed at 7 and slept for 2 hours then I woke up long enough to watch CSI. Then back to bed for the night. Better the am, though. We'll see how the energy holds up. Hope...

    TRANSFORMATION CHALLENGE!3/31-4/6

    Hi Ladies -- Yesterday was beautiful in Cincinnati and today looks to be even better. Wnnt to the driving range last night for my "special activity" for the SELF CHALLENGE. Not sure if I'm seeing much results yet as I was already fitter than most, but I'm doing more cardio because of the...

    TRANSFORMATION CHALLENGE!3/31-4/6

    Hi Girls -- Quick post since I'm at work. Did CC2 last night as well as PM Yoga. Working on the April SELF Chanllenge and it's been kicked up a notch. Not really any harder than what I would do anyway except the challenge requires a bit more cardio and I prefer weights. FS -- "Aggressive...

    Transformation Challenge 3/24-3/31

    Wow! I hardly know how to reply. I wanted to check-in because I've just been released from "proposal prison" and found a lot of thought provoking and honest comments from some very inspirational and supportive women. All I can say is how impressed I am with the supportive spirit of this...
