Absolutely a FUN thread, Kathryn! OK, I'm listing mine with prices, and in price order, because I think it's such a hoot how something as cheap as $5 has changed my life! :p 1. Little knobby rolly ball I got at REI--bigger than a golf ball, smaller than a tennis ball--great for rolling...

So I'm looking at this cute little bag on Amazon. And it comes in two sizes, large and small. However, the dimensions written in the description are the SAME for both: 11x7x3. So, first, I'm wondering, does anyone have these and know the actual size? 11x7 is almost the size of piece of paper...

Yes, I love my foam roller. And I did always make sure I had a good recovery drink with protein in it after STS. I still had DOMS, but it was never debilitating. Just intense. And double-delayed. :D

3 mile run/walk is done! Running the day after a leg workout is TOUGH! :confused: But it was a good workout. Even though it was tough, I still felt strong! Wendy--Good job yesterday on DM! That is one that still intimidates me. And, let me be the one to empower this time . . . you HAVE to buy...

Wendy, when I re-read your post, for some reason I read it as "6 minutes of pain." LOL. :D

PS: L&A is done. An oldie but goodie. It's a good one to really concentrate on form, IMO. Without the low-ends to do me in, I find myself sinking deep into every rep and executing each move with precision. Eating has been better today, and after a too-big lunch yesterday, I did a good job on...

I'm about to go do PS: Legs & Abs. Afternoon workout for me today because I had early morning meetings. BBL.

Diana-I think it is great to do the workout you feel you "need" or "want" for the day, rather than what you "should" do. Granted, that doesn't apply so much when what you "want" is to stay in bed. :p But if it's cardio instead of legs, I think that's great! Go for it. I always plan out rotations...

My workout today was a 3 mile run/walk. I am loving my runs and looking forward to them now! Wendy--it's so frustrating on those days that you're like "what do I feel like doing?" and put something in and don't like it. Blah! Glad you have a chance for a full workout! :) I ate too much for...

Fly by for me, too. Tuesdays are our crazy day. This morning I did the 4DS upper body premix. What a great workout. Tacked on the 4DS core segment. Off to bed for me now. 9:30 is the limit when we get up at 5am. We need our beauty sleep! :p

I would love to hear what Cathe has to say about hip flexors that wear out during lunges before the quads and glutes. This frequently happens to me, especially if the rear leg is elevated.

Hi, Nan. I've only done STS twice, but my DOMS was different, too. It wasn't particularly worse, but it was double-delayed. It was like DDOMS instead of just DOMS. I would be somewhat sore 24 hours after a workout, but the REAL thing would kick in 48 hours after a workout. I never did find...

OK. This is the peace-keeping intervention thread. JK!! :p Does "damage control" have a double meaning today? Diana--I used to think sports drinks were just a bunch of hype and turned up my nose. But they really did make a difference on STS. Sometimes it was the difference between being able...

OK. Finally time for personals. Everyone—Thanks for your thoughts about diet drinks and artificial sweeteners. I will drink mine with less guilt. Also, thanks to everyone for the encouragement in my running. I feel like I’m finally getting traction (no pun intended). I increase the length...

Wendy--Congrats on your success story. That's awesome. 100 Cathe Bucks is a great reward, too. :p I love that Cathe is featuring "real life" stories of people who have found stability and continuity in a healthy lifestyle. Obviously, the stories of folks who lose 100 pounds are amazing and...

Hey there. Total rest day for me today--a scheduled one this time. :D Tomorrow, just to keep Wendy and Lori from arguing, I will start the thread!! :p I am also up at 5am, but since I'm in Africa on GMT +3, I will beat them both! ;) JK.

Hey there. Lori already started a thread. ;)

Here's a link to a website on the paleo diet: http://paleodietlifestyle.com/ Don't know if it's the best info out there or not, but the FAQ page answers lots of questions. Wikipedia also has info. And I just finished Ab Ripper.

I did not get to check in yesterday because our internet was acting wacky! We say, "TIA!" (This is Africa!) I got cut off right in the middle of a skype call with a friend in the US. :mad: Yesterday was a 3 1/2 mile run-walk (my usual MWF plan). It was the best run I've had so far. I was...

Jacque--I can already feel the DOMS starting in my deep glutes! :D Diana--I'm all ears. Tell me your faves. I have all the OLD Firms, all of Cathe, P90X, and then these two I just got: Amy Bento Hi-Low Knockout and Powerstrike 4. I have "tried" Billy Blanks, Keli Roberts, Abs of Steel, and...
