    Weightloss Challenge Now thru dec 31st - Sept 14th

    Hi Sue - good to hear from you again! I'm doing 4 weeks of 4DS starting next week, so I think that's a great idea to mix things up by putting the weight segment ahead of cardio. I might do two weeks the standard way, and two weeks weights first. You had such success in August when you cut...

    Its Sunday - and awfully quiet on our weightloss check-in! How's everyone doing? This morning was a 13 mile run - feeling good about my half marathon next weekend (which is 13 miles). The best part was that my hubby joined me for the first 30 minutes of the run. He's just started, so I'm...

    Workout DVD regrets

    #1 - Amy Dixon Breathless Body - really too repetitive, and therefore boring. I tried will all my might to get through it once and turned it off because it was so boring. Haven't picked it up since.
