Wow, there is so much going on with everybody! I peak in often, but unfortunately have very little to contribute to the discussion. Its been a complete year since my ACL/MCL repair. My recovery is all done, but my weight loss and fitness gains...ugh. Last year took a toll on that, for sure...

Greetings and Salutations!! I've been peaking in every once in a while, thought I should post a little something. FIRST...GO GO GO! JANIE! I am so proud of you and your gains (or loses-however you want to look at it) You are doing a great job eating right and exercising. I need to get on...

Hello, Its been nearly two weeks since I finished the 3 and half month STS rotation. Had a lovely rest and recovery week. Now I am doing Gym Style and it is kicking my butt! I am also putting an Imax, and two other advanced cardios in my rotation. Phew, I am so sore in the core! But its all...

Hello, thought I would post today...don't ask me why, just a whim! Today is my rest day after my active recovery week from STS. Tomorrow I start mesocycle 3! Back and Chest, is the first thing. Looking forward to lifting HEAVY! I will be doing the squat rack instead of plyo legs. Don't...

Hi friends! I have become a lurker. I stop by and read the posts, but don't post anything. Sorry. I am halfway through STS. I will be finishing the second week of mesocycle 2 this week. I started it during my two weeks off at Christmas. I am really experiencing alot of DOMS. And I like it...

That is so stressful! I'm in at #31, and my sister is in at # 73 or 74. I had to register both of us, and the link was slow...argh! But we are in! Last year I had to cancel (#16) because I had torn my ACL/MCL and was rehabbing the knee from surgery. Boy was I a grumpy human. But I've healed, and...

One more day of school! Well, that is after today. The second grade play went G-R-E-A-T! Those little kids were so cute as bears, and they had a blast, as did the audience. I am just so glad that things are finally winding down. I love what I do, but I also love the breaks in between. I am...

I'm just so busy with school/holiday stuff. When I'm not consumed with school, I'm exercising and then relaxing (or sleeping) but I find myself on the go, go, go constantly. One week left of school before 2 glorious weeks off. My chorus concert was last week and it went great! My 2nd grade...

Looks like Janie and Michelle are keeping this check-in going. Last week was long and awful. Sunday, the 13th, my youngest cat Peppy ran out the door and into the woods. I was taking the trash out, so, he escaped. I tried to get him back inside but managed the scare him off. And he was gone...

Another week of Cathe workouts completed. Today is my much needed rest day. I have tried the Turbobarre workout (45 minutes) only until my left leg cramped up. Its a good workout but honestly, won't become a favorite. I also did the express premix of Athletic Training. That was to work the kinks...

Hello, Gee, Janie, men! If they mess up we have to treat them with TLC, but god forbid we mess up! Oh well, sounds like you and Joey managed to make a great day of it anyway! Good for you. I have been "stepping it up" lately. Doing more and more Cathe DVD's and less recumbant bike...

Greetings and Salutations! My fourth grade program is a thing of the past! Hooray! Had a packed house, and the kids did great. I love to see how excited they get, and how proud of themselves they become afterwards. 74 out 77 4th graders were in attendance and the ones that didn't show, missed...

Just a few days away from my first music program of this school year. My fourth graders will be putting on "RIVER CHILD" on Monday. We have been working on this since the first of September. They are definately ready. And I'm ready for it to be over. It will be good. I am doing more and more...

Humidity and low pressure systems are making me nuts! I need a high pressure system, some sun and little humidity. Feast or famine in Virginia. No rain for weeks, then rain, rain, rain, low pressure, humidity...ICK! I tried CTX Step and Intervals as sister suggested. I made it through the...

Hello everybody! I am not liking the Fall...icky weather makes my knee hurt. Life after ACL reconstruction is gonna stink in the Fall and Winter! Well, it hasn't been a walk in the park in the summer I can assure you. Its been just over 4 months. Still far from 100% and I wonder if I will...

Peeked in today. HA! And doing things like a VT football game would have made me a very happy sister. A stupid salon thing...I could take it of LEAVE it...really not my thing. I'm busy at school and staying as active as my knee allows. I do some "easy" Cathe step DVD's and have done the...

Janie, Janie, Janie. My deepest and heartfelt sympathy to you. Its the hardest thing in the world to put a beloved pet down. I hope this link works: The Rainbow Bridge I have become a true lurker. I haven't posted for some time. Please forgive me but I try to peak in every once in a while...

Hi. The surgery has come and gone, that was the easy part. This recovery stuff really sucks! No other way to put it. I hate sitting, sitting, sitting. My knee hurts like hell. It is swollen, as is the rest of my lower leg and foot. Small improvements every day. Started putting weight on it...

Merrily we roll along! 3 days and counting. New pain meds seem to be okay...no bad reacations. Friday is surgery and I'm back to physical therapy on Monday! Woo-hoo! I'm gonna try and get at least one more Basic Step session in before Friday. Very busy at school with my big ORFF concert. Nothing...

10 days until I go under the knife! So much to do until then. Heck, so much to do afterwards. 26 school days. 7 more school days until I have off for a few days because of the surgery. Once I get back, golly, there is still much to do with my 5th graders, but I will definately tone it down quite...
