Hey there! At least you are getting things DONE in your house. I'm sure it will be worth the wait. Prom dresses in September? When is the prom? Mine were always at the end of May. Your workout sounds intense. I'm so jealous of the weights you have available with the squat rack. 75 for...

Hi! Getting a lot of cleaning done here lately. I revamped the bookshelves and my workout space. I feel like with fall coming I want to get the inside less cluttered. Today was back, bi's and abs for me. Feeling good and rolling along with weight workouts. I've been listening to podcasts...

Hi! I'm glad you had a nice long break from work-you need it! As long as you get 4-5 workouts a week I think that's great. I've started listening to some podcasts (fit over fifty) on apple and after menopause you do need more recovery time. I'm still doing the same-4 weight sessions a week...

Hope your birthday was wonderful! Each one is a blessing for sure. I'm so sorry to hear about your MIL. Hopefully it was discovered early and she can adjust to the many challenges and changes that come with cancer. BIL is feeling a bit depressed about his situation. He seems resigned to...

Well-My dad is home and doing well. He had a reverse total shoulder done. So his chest muscles will be more in use as opposed to the rotator cuff muscles. My BIL was discharged after a week. He's weak, but getting more sleep at home. My cat came home Thursday and requires a squirt in her...

How do you like the Peleton? I miss riding bike, but since DH fell and broke his hip on his, we have not been out together and I don't really like going out alone. I've kind of been looking for a used bike on craigslist for indoors, but DH feels like I do this all the time-buy something then...

Hey! How was your weekend? What's new? All is good here. We're busy figuring out all the trip logistics (getting the ticket to the phone, cashless system, the rail tickets...it feels endless!) Otherwise, I'm reading a mystery novel set in Ireland by Tana French, working out with Caroline...

Wow! You do have a houseful and a lot on your plate. It's nice though-you get to see your kids and granddaughters and that's worth all the chaos. Have you had your cortisol level checked? I think you are under a lot of stress with your job and keeping everything in order at home. The weight...

Glad you could escape and relax a bit. I can't believe school starts in two weeks for your granddaughters! Although I think it would be a good idea to have year around school to help kids not lose the rhythm of studying. It would help parents too with having to find child care all summer. My...

I hope you are having a nice, relaxing time in the mountains! I have discovered youtube channels and am pumped to try some of the workouts. They have a ton of total body workouts. Do you ever use any of these? Rowing is total body so I'm not surprised your legs are sore! It's really hot...

Up in muscle and down in fat! You are getting stronger for sure. Way to go! A friend of mine here has lost 30 pounds recently. She's doing this plan where you eat every two hours (about 100 calories) and then eat one meal a day. She eats between 800 and 1K a day. She eats no gluten as a...

Well, I'm sorry to say that DH doesn't want me to travel without him! I'll work on him though it might not be for a while that I can go. I was thinking we should meet in the midwest -somewhere in the middle. Maybe Nashville? Or, I would love to see Mt. Rushmore some time (Bucket list). Or...

Awesome personal best numbers! DS2 does those at his gym, too. Way to go! I have gone part time! This is the second week. I work Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. It is wonderful! I have my own office now and am completely out of the petty drama in the back. I can "visit" with the...

I just hope they are available in DVD form and not only streaming.

Testosterone! Wow. What specialty physician are you seeing-endocrinolgy? It sounds fascinating. Did they measure your estrogen as well? I am looking forward to hearing how your plan works. I just started using an app and tracking my food intake. It is so hard to get enough protein. I have...

40 #! Do they know how much you can squat and deadlift? I was glad to read your bones are good, but you must have a ton of muscle to be able to lift 114#. I loaded up my barbell on Sunday and did Slow and Heavy legs. I only had 50 lbs on and had to have help getting off after I was done with...

I had an interesting meeting this week. A 72 year old lady came to the clinic and of course getting everyone's weight the second we meet always brings comments about losing weight. Turned out she recently bought the Boss Bands from Cathe and was intimidated by them. I encouraged her to just...

Where are the days going? I feel like I turn around and it's been a week since I checked in! I got up at 5 again on Tuesday and Thursday this week and did Lite Series weight. I think this weekend I'm going to start with the Intensity Pyramids and do those for a few weeks. I'm enjoying the...

Well, another week in the can. I did manage to do weights on Tuesday and Thursday mornings before work. I'm just doing the LITE PUB and PLB for weights. I like the format of pyramids and as Cathe says: I can get a lot accomplished in a short amount of time! Feeling a bit better. I wonder...

We've had a great weekend so far. Took some long walks and did the LITE series pyramids-Upper on Saturday and Lower on Sunday. I think I'm just going to be in a "maintenance" phase and not try to build mass. A different mindset that I don't need to lift as heavy as possible every single...
