Hi girls, Sorry I've been awol for awhile. Spring break was hectic last week and we have a lot going on at church this week. Bita, I'm also a Jon Kabat-Zinn fan. I've read about half of "Full Catastrophe Living." He has really taught me how to use my breathing to slow down the world a...

Marlene123’s Tank Top Arms Rotation Editor’s Note: This has been one of the most popular rotations of Spring 2002, and it comes from Forum regular Marlene123. In a year’s time Marlene has lost 27 pounds and become lean and cut. Here’s how she achieved real “tank top arms”: “Here is my...

Hi girls, No wo today for me. We're heading to Athens to see DS. Today is his 21st birthday. Tomorrow is our day at The Masters. Looks like we'll be in the rain for that. Oh well, I'm sure it will still be beautiful. Juli, looks like the Self Challenge has been great for you. Such...

I think for me it's a combination of things that motivates me to keep at it. # 1 is the use it or lose it philosophy which it looks like you've experienced. It's not like if I quit exercising I'll stay at my current weight and shape - I know I'll start going backwards. I'm 46 and I have seen...

Sherry, you look incredible! So glad you took the time to post your pictures. It's always nice to have extra inspiration. Thanks for sharing! Gloria

Hi all, A little information on how to get that 6 pack. Hint: What and how much we eat has a lot to do with it. Getting that '6-pack' Stephanie Oakes Face it, we're midsection maniacs, obsessed with our dream of the perfect abs we'll have someday -- if we can just do enough...

Hi all, Juli, TTOM and hormones explain a lot of strange behavior. After all these years I still sometimes don't recognize it. I'll get hit with TTOM and have this epiphany "That's why I've been mopeing(sp?) around for 2 days." You'd think I would have learned by now. Firmscorpio, snow...

A quick check in to say I did SL this morning. Got in my 5 workouts again this week. DH and I had a movie day. Saw Head of State(his choice, of course) I say don't waste your time on this one. Remember to change your clocks tonight. Gloria

Hi all, Got up early and did S&H B&T this morning. I even got my Bible reading in before taking mil to her appointment. Did a lot of praying for patience and talking to myself during the hour drive there and back. You know the stereotypical mil jokes? Well, she's that and then some. I...

Glad to see most of you are some better anyway. I guess aches, pains and bugs will always be with us. Be thankful for the normal days. I did Stepfit this morning and then headed out to shop for DS's 21st birthday. I was married at 22, why does he seem so much younger than I was? Hard to...

Hi all of you sick and achy ladies. What's going on here? Janice and Otisan with the back and neck problems and our little medical staff hit with a bad bug. Hope everyone feels better soon. I'm going to hold my breath and type fast. Bita, you can always call Chick Fil A and get a party...

April 1st! Can you believe it? All the flowers are in full bloom here and it is gorgeous. I only wish they lasted longer. I did S&H C&B today. Got a little shakey on those incline presses. Janice, I'm sorry you're feeling down. Let us know how we can help. Robyn, you have such a...

Hi all, I can't believe tomorrow is April 1st! You're right Firmscorpio, it is a good time to kick it up a notch. You're so good at reminding us to do that. I've spent most of my morning trying to figure out how to post a picture. I think I've done it. I hope when you click on the link...

Happy Saturday to you all! Yesterday did S&H T&B. The third S&H for me this week. Today I dusted off Vol 6 and added the legwork from Vol 1. It was a nice change of pace. Fitdoc, which movie did you watch with your chinese food last night? I watched Maid in Manhattan all alone since DH...

Thanks for sharing Bobbi. We all need to be reminded of the importance of selflessness. Gloria

Oh Bita, you're such a sweetheart. You always know how to make us feel better. Debbie, we all understand your weird place. No one can isolate themselves from this terrible war. I read a poem this morning that I'd like to share with all of you. It made me feel a little better about the...

Just finished S&H L&S. Those rotator cuff exercises are tough. I felt much better working out today. Otisan, sorry about your shoulder. Take it easy, you don't want to injure it even more. Fitdoc, I'm an American Idol watcher too. I just love Clay. I think he has a wonderful voice and...

Good Morning! I struggled with Part 1 of the Wedding video this morning. This wasn't the day to add a riser to the step. I hate days when I just don't have my uumph. I'm afraid it may have something to do with eating too much sugar over the past couple of days. DS is selling chocolate and...

Hi all. I played tennis for almost 3 hours this morning and I'm pooped! I was playing against my old partner and our healthy competitiveness was in high gear. It was so much fun and a beautiful day for it. Janice, the temp. was 58 when we started and 82 when we finished. If there had been a...

Great words to live by Fitdoc. Thanks for the inspiration. Started my S&H 2 week rotation this morning. It has been awhile since I've done these tapes, I'm looking forward to them. Sick isn't it. I really need to get some heavier dumbells though. Oldest DS is back at college after...
