Hi, Brenda! I am 47 years old, married with 2 kids ages 15 and 17. I've been working out with Cathe for 12 years now. I went on a Glassboro Road Trip in 2005 which was a lot of fun and I'm glad I did it but probably wouldn't go again because of the cost. I'm at a low point right now in my...

Sorry I didn't post much last week. I thoroughly enjoyed my time off. On Thursday I didn't even change out of my pajamas until 1:00 in the afternoon! :D Made up for it on Friday and Saturday though. DD, DS and I toured UW-Madison and did tons of walking. She's impressed but I hear Madison is...

Laurie - I love lasagna but never make it because the kids don't like it (weird kids, I know). We had chili at our Easter Dinner. I think you're right about ambulances receiving preferential treatment in ERs. I could sense a bit of "tude" from the treage (or is it triage?) nurse like we were...

Hi all! Not much to report workout-wise. I did High Reps on Sunday and went for a walk last night. DH has a buddy staying over to help with planting a tree which has prevented me from working out the last couple of days. I'll be glad when he goes home tonight - both so I can workout and also...

Sam - That's so funny about running downstairs in your "unders"! LOL My kids are older so I have to throw a bathrobe on. ;) Only 1 week until the Road Trip - you must be getting excited. Laurie - I don't think I'd ever be able to lift 350 pounds either. Just for the heck of it though, I asked...

Susan - I did Jillian this morning, too. I swear - I feel skinnier after doing one of her workouts. Enjoy a nice Spring day and try not to think of us stuck inside at work.;) Heartymax - I don't think I've ever made it to the abs in Turbo Barre. :confused: Will have to try those. How great is...

Susan - Enjoy your less hectic week. I hope the weather warms up for you. DH cleaned up one of our pcs and it runs much faster now. Get rid of the games and kill 2 birds with 1 stone! (I think your kids are like my mine in that they love their computer and video games -sometimes too much)...

Laurie - I have to force myself to workout at night sometimes but it keeps me out of the kitchen so that's a good thing. Did your washing machine catch up yet? ;) Heartymax - Um, yeah, those 1 leg squat thrusts. . . CRAZY! :eek: I can do a couple and then switch over to regular squat thrusts...

Hi gals! Real quick checkin because I have to pickup kids tonight. Heartymax - Yes, there is a pedometer app for iPhone called iStepsP Lite. I have the free version but it does everything I need it to do. I took it out for a test a couple of times to check its accuracy and it was pretty close...

Heartymax - Good job on staying at 90%. I never did 1RM either but definitely challenged myself when I did STS. I hope you have nice weather for spring break. Laurie - LOL on the washing machine! Sore is good. Susan - I went for a long walk this weekend, too. I joked that I wanted to call DD...

Hi all! Yeah, the weekend is almost here! :D Man, it's been a long week. My consultant is gone, thank goodness. He was a disaster. Luckily I'm working with someone else who is wonderful. It really effected my mood this week and gave me an "I don't care" attitude with my workouts and...

Sorry to be MIA but I've been working on a project with a consultant and he is working from his hotel today because he is "crippled" (his words) due to a poor mattress. Sigh. . . . don't get me started on this guy. Taking a little break from CTX this week since I knew my workout time would...

Laurie - So sorry to hear about your Aunt passing. MS is a terrible disease. Susan - Those S90 workouts move from one thing to the next! I've got to do those again soon. Sam - Happy shopping! Hope you find something cute. Heartymax - Enjoy the nice weather while it lasts! We're having...

Susan - So no computer viruses? That's good news. They're getting trickier and trickier in how they send them via email. Be very careful about any emails you get from UPS, FedEx, Better Business Bureau or IRS. Sam - Poor DS. Glad to hear he's feeling better today. How many days until the RT...

Heartymax - I made those cookies, too, over the weekend and they're almost gone! I like soft cookies as well. So you added coconut and chocolate chips? I'll bet those were yummy. I don't know if the recipe on the bag is the same. We used to use that recipe and these turned out better. Of course...

Susan - I think you will like Jillian's 6 Week 6 Pack. She combines short cardio bursts with ab/core work. You go through all the exercises and then she repeats. I'm going to stick with workout 1 for a while. I tried workout 2 but only did the exercises 1 time through and I was spent! Will have...

Heartymax - I like the idea of 40-30 better than 40-20. ;) It's a good way to work yourself up to 40-20 with fewer pauses to catch your breath (well that's what I do anyway). Sam - I think it's the weather and the time of year that has you in a funk. I always need something to look forward...

Heartymax - Looks like you won't have to send the warm weather after all! It feels like spring today and I'm loving it. :D Laurie - Not stress at work. At home. DD is giving me the stress but it's nothing I want to go into on a public forum. Things seem to be better this week but I've been...

Heartymax -I'm dying for nice weather like you had. Shoveled wet, heavy snow on Friday with already sore biceps from CTX-Kickbox. NOT fun! I think taking 10 min. at a time on the elliptical is a good plan. You'll get better and better I'm sure. ;) Laurie - Wasn't that snow on Friday night...

Laurie - Oh, my! A kidney infection! How did she get that? I want DD close and it's not just for selfish reasons. She has issues which go back a long time and unless she really pulls herself together the rest of the semester, I don't know how she'd manage on her own so far away. I even worry...
