Jacque--I love all of the MMA. I love the way STS cardio merges the core conditioning into the workouts! Wendy--How was your cardio? What did you do? Apparently you have a lot to choose from! ;) Someday I need a list of what's in your w/o video library! I have avoided the kitchen and will...

Today was B&G for me. It was tough. I did not use any weight except on the dead lifts. I have totally lost my muscle endurance. I have good strength and tone, but I'm dying on Low Ends! :mad: I'm also hungry! Trying not to cave and go raid the kitchen!

Diana--I live in Uganda. The "African" part of my signature line is literal. :p

Wendy—Good luck on STS 2! And great job on your ab work yesterday! Sorry you lost your gym membership. That’s a bummer. And sorry about the running, but I’m glad you have other outlets. Is the Absolute K/B you did Kimberly Spreen? I remember on the Cheetah thread that somebody had tons of...

Today was CTX Upper Body split. That is a good, solid workout. After STS, I've been able to increase my weights on it significantly, which is fun! :p For me, the most significant part of "damage control" is going to be the food. I haven't been a terrible eater recently, but I didn't exercise a...

Yes, I was a johnny-come-lately to the Cheetah thread and have been too lazy to change my signature. I actually haven't been on the boards much since then--I've been very busy, hence the weight gain. I did a 3 mile run/walk this morning. Both IT bands were very tight, even with lots of...

Hello, "Damage Control" gals. Are you open to having someone else join your check-in? I've been part of other check-in groups in the past, but when my last group faded, I haven't rejoined in a while. I've let a few pounds creep on that I'm working to lose, and I need some accountability and...

Look for 1-hour UB workouts Thanks for the tip. I was just getting on to search for threads about 1-hour total upper body workouts and saw this. When I want to incorporate more cardio, a 3-day weight split is too time consuming. I want to be able to do all my upper body work in one day...

After I enter my info on the settings page, I click "save." It acts like it is saving, but when I go to the Home page, it hasn't calculated my TDEE or BMR, even though I've entered my weight on the Weigh In page. Is this a glitch or am I doing something wrong? Maybe the site is busy because of...

Oh, don't throw it ALL away. Some of that is precious, sentimental stuff. OK, maybe the stuffed Garfields can go. ;) I have an apple box in a closet that is full of "memories" like that. I have a few handmade dolls that were precious to me. I do have kids, but my DD isn't playing with those...

Another vote for Tony Atwood, Temple Grandin, and Michelle Garcia Winters. And many blessings on your journey. We, too, went through a grieving process. It helped to realize that our son was the same kid that we loved before. Nothing in him had changed. It was just a new label. And that label...

I am about to go do Disc 12. Woo hoo! I'm loving STS. And DH is doing it with me. :D

Cathe, Greetings from Uganda! I just finished week 2 of STS (yee haw!). And to make it even better, DH is doing it with me. :D Interestingly, I'm experiencing a kind of DOMS with STS that I haven't felt before. Usually, at least for me, the "D" of DOMS after I do your workouts is after...

Me too Just want to be one more to chime in and say that STS is also giving me increased ability in my cardio workouts. What a great bonus.

I pre-ordered the Shock Cardio DVDs, but because I live in Uganda, I just had them sent to my mom in the States. Then we wait until a visitor is flying over here so that they can bring them. More secure that way. So . . . finally, they are going to be here. In 2 weeks. I can't think of a...

Oh, I love Trader Joe's! I got hooked while we were in CA. Unfortunately, there's no such thing here in Uganda! :( And even when we furlough, there's not one in TX either. :( Their hummus is delish. It's the real thing. We have true Middle Eastern friends here, and TJ's hummus is the only...

Jean--thanks for this thread!! This is where I've been for the last few months. Illness and an injury sidelined me in the spring, and I feel like I've just been kind of moseying along since I recovered--not totally giving up working out, but having a hard time being consistent with that and with...

Get a refurbished Mac. For all the same reasons, as you, we got our son a computer. (Ugh! to too much Wii and Xbox!) We got our son a Clamshell for $300.

I agree with these other ladies: 1300 calories sounds really low. I'd up your calories. Then, make sure you're spreading them throughout the day. For example, when I'm eating 2000 calories I split it like this: 400 calorie breakfast 200 calorie morning snack 500 calorie lunch 300 calorie...

Morningstar, I'm with you, girl! ;)
