I was exhausted last night from the weekend so didn't workout . Did STS Disc 19 Chest this morning. Will do shoulders and triceps tonight. Should do abs, too. I've been very, very bad about doing abs. :( Brenda - Good luck this last week before implementation! I'm sure you're nervous but what...

Brenda - The name of the medication I give my cat before car rides is Acepromazine. I don't know if it's okay for a diabetic cat but your vet would know that and has to prescribe it anyway. I want to tell you also about an amazing spray called Feliway that mimics the facial pheromone. Our vet...

Brenda - I'll have to get the name of that drug for you. I only give our cat 1/4 pill about an hour before we leave. This might be hard to do but make sure your cat uses the litterbox first or have it handy for him. The first year we tried it our cat tried to go downstairs to use the litterbox...

Brenda - Enjoy your time off and don't worry about the timing. Everyone needs to take time off and sometimes that break helps you come back and see things more clearly. I would love to go to Ireland, too. Maybe some day you'll have an excuse to go. Susan - Legs are a little sore but not nearly...

Laurie - That HP ride sounds awesome! Okay, I have an excuse to go back there. :D I'll bet weed pulling gave you a workout in that heat last night. Susan - Jogging and walking doesn't bother my achilles so maybe I'm weird. Anything on the toes like ricochets or 1 legged genie hops hurts...

Dang on the oatmeal! I thought it might help. Ugh on the 10 hour days. I know how draining that can be. Are you going Big Bang (all at once) or only a few applications or locations at once? Big Bang worked for us in '97 but to do so now would be a nightmare - that is, for my company because...

Brenda - You moved 10 yards of mulch by yourself?!!! Wow! I'm impressed. Your cholesterol numbers don't sound too bad but I understand you feeling like they should be better when you eat right and exercise. My dad had the genetic thing when it came to cholesterol as well. He watched his diet...

Hi, Sam! And everyone else, too! Last week was not a good workout week. Took 3 rest days because I was either too busy or too tired to workout. This week will be much better. Here's what I did: Saturday - Couch to 5K Week 3 Day 2 Sunday - Couch to 5K Week 3 Day 3 + STS Disc 15 Back and...

Hi, guys! Sorry to be so bad about checking in. Things will calm down next week when the kids are both gone. They leave Saturday morning at 4:30 a.m. to go on a Mission Trip so NO KIDS for 9 whole days! I'm sure I'll miss them tons but right now I'm really looking forward to the peace and...

Heartymax - I'm glad you're taking a little time off. Hope you're feeling better. Sam - Congrats to DH on his new job! Never had pizza from Jimmy's. They have good food but definitely not the kind you want to have all the time. Happy "Stay at Home Week"! Enjoy! I sometimes regret not...

Wait! Come back, Karen! We miss you! Hope all is well.

Sorry I've been MIA. I was off on Friday and I have a summer student reporting to me who started on Monday so been busy keeping him busy. Heartymax - Your DS's baseball team sounds like my DD's softball team last year. It was neat to see them come together and work as a team and improve. Sam...

There's no arguing that burpees and mountain climbers are effective - I just like doing new moves. NY25 - I'm glad you brought up the burpees on the gliders. Those are a twist on the move that is new, fun and effective. Before Bootcamp I don't think Cathe even did burpees (she called them...

Thanks, Brenda! I'm trying real hard not to get discouraged and give up (yet again). I'll keep plugging away (ha ha - pun intended) and see what happens in a few days.

Brenda - Jacks with a resistance band sound interesting. At least it's something new. How is DH's foot? Laurie - Awesome news about your DD earning a Varsity letter! Well-deserved. Susan - I tend to get grumpy when I am forced to miss workouts, too. Hope the rest of the day goes better...

I don't know if Crossfire or To the Max has either of these moves but I am sick to death of them. Everyone and their brother uses them now in their workouts. Please show us something fresh. Thank you for your consideration.

Brenda - Sounds like a horrible night fighting a fire, DH getting hurt and not being able to sleep! I'm glad you were able to relax at your picnic for a little while. I give you a lot of credit for doing 1 legged burpees but to be honest, if the new Cathe workouts have burpees or mountain...

No workout yesterday as I expected but the good news is. . . . I'm done with concerts for the year! :D Don't get me wrong - I enjoy them very much but does a concert really need to be 2 hours long on a school night?! DD is exhausted as well. No workout this morning. I plan to do STS Disc 8...

Hi all! Sorry I didn't post on Friday or Monday. I was off Friday afternoon and a bunch of us went out for lunch yesterday. On Thursday night I did Athletic Step and my achilles started hurting during the workout. (I think it was a combination of Slide & Glide and the ricochets in AS) I did...

Brenda - I'm from a family of 12 kids so I definitely understand about friction in the family! My dad had to deal with some very smart-mouthed, know-it-all kids (not me, but a couple of my siblings) and he was the master of tough love. Live by his rules or leave. They came around later as they...
