2005 brought: The knowledge that my children are the loves of my life and keep me young. The continued good health of my immediate family Breast cancer remission for my mom and a benign scare for my stepmom A fantastic employer that has provided me so many opportunities to grow and...

During the week I work out before they are awake. I can't do it at night after they are in bed because then I can't fall asleep. On the weekend I either put in a movie or DH keeps them occupied. At ages 5 and 3 they understand Mom's workout time means they have to leave me alone. I do...

My DH had a class reunion this past summer. I knew he would have fun catching up with everyone and that I would be unbelievably bored. I only knew 2 other spouses. Around 11 pm I told him I was leaving and that he could get himself home. Inconsiderate dumba$$ didn't even think of walking me...

OMG! My theme song is "Like a Virgin". Wonder WTH that means??!!

Congratulations! If you can make it a habit, you'll never go back. I do this every day during the week and love getting the boost to my day and then not having a guilt trip all day wondering if I'll get my workout in. I don't do this on the weekend--I do need a little sleep! But I sort of...

I'm 5'6". I have fallen exactly 3 times working out to Cathe--all during IMAX 3. I use 6 inches and have considered no risers at all. All the jumping gets the better of me--especially jumping sideways! That's where I usually stumble--the first blast.

Hi Susan: Last week I was forced to take 2-3 days off as I had bronchitis and my lungs were on fire. Now that I'm feeling better, I've tried to make up for lost time and it is too much, too soon. Saturday I ran and did PLB. Sunday I did PUB. Yesterday was HSC. Today was IMAX 3. I really...

Admitted chocoholic here. Yesterday, after what seems like weeks of eating so much Halloween crap, I finally hit my limit and made myself feel sick. Today-cold turkey. Even the thought of it still turns my stomach. Hope it lasts! I don't buy junk for my kids, but for special holidays...

Hello all: I didn't work out Saturday or Sunday because I have a pretty good chest virus/slight aches going on. Finally today I couldn't stand it any more and I did: IMAX 1 warm up Body Max circuit section and ab section This was not a very long workout, but since I can't breathe too...

This is hilarious--never knew there could be so many ways to do it. Mine are in a special holder from IKEA. I arrange them chronologically, so they also go by series. Within series there is no particular order. My cardio hits is the only one that is in a CD case, and it drives me crazy. I...

Hi all: I took a "forced" rest day today. I have company that stay in the basement where I work out and I was at work until 1:00 am, so wouldn't be getting up terribly early anyway. This is fine since I'm still easing back into it after vacation. Hawaii was fantastic, Sandra, thanks...

Hello: This is my first check in for nearly 2 weeks. I just returned from Hawaii this weekend. While there, I did Kick Max once, KPC once and weights with a band once. I was only hoping to maintain, but it didn't really work! Sunday I ran for 35 minutes and pulled a lower calf muscle...

Hi Marcia: I too just got back from vacation, although I was in Hawaii. It is brutal to catch up at work after being gone, isn't it? I did work out 3 times on vacation, but the last two mornings I can tell that I've lost some ground.

Hello All: Today was my last official day to follow anything resembling the rotation--tomorrow we fly to Maui for a week. So I jumped ahead a little and did S&H legs and shoulders. Wanted to get some weight work in for my legs and thought shoulders would be a good thing to round out the...

Hello-- I didn't have time to check in yesterday, but I followed the rotation and did S&H biceps/triceps. Today I chose Step Blast. I really have gotten to the point that I have it totally memorized and pretty much don't mess up. Then it's not much of a challenge! I can't do this one...

Good morning all: Woke up at 3:45 with a piercing sinus headache. I took enough drugs and used a hot pack so that I could do IMAX 2 at 5:00. I love it so much--it's in my top 3. I love the music! Felt great, but now I'm still fighting this headache. Looking forward to S&H. I haven't...

Hello.. Today in the rotation was step of my choice and I chose Power Max. Gotta love the thong leotards and Cathe saying "looks hot" about 6 times! Have a good day!

From what you want to do and for your first trip to Hawaii, I would recommend just staying on Oahu. There is tons to do and many more choices for eating for all budgets. There is a lot of shopping. The other two islands you mention have very little shopping and just less choice of activities...

I also did GS CT and coremax 2. I was wishing I had done core first too. It was brutal holding myself in the plank position on the ball for the roll ins and jack knives. On GS CT it always seems to me that she works triceps 6 ways to Sunday, or at least more than chest. This is possibly...

Good morning ladies: Sandra, so nice to see you back. Sounds like you've already settled down into a routine. I've been fighting a slight virus since Friday afternoon. I rested Saturday, but then ran 53 minutes yesterday. My new shoes felt terrific. It was warm, humid and windy...
