Hi everyone. Sorry to be gone so much. The kids were off last Thursday and Friday so we took the opportunity to visit a couple of colleges and see Mall of America. It was a nice trip although I really hope DD doesn't go to Minneapolis for school. It's too dang far away! My workouts over the...

Laurie - Yes, More Peak Strength are her new ones. Sounds like I was lucky to order when I did. Susan - Sorry to hear you had a bad night's sleep At least it's Hump Day! Are you off Thursday and Friday? My kids are off but not sure if that's a statewide thing. Sam - Sorry to hear the ankle...

Heartymax - We had 30 degrees and snow this morning so if you want I can send some your way. ;) I think it's supposed to melt later today though. I agree that it's fun to read about other workouts people are doing. I never would have heard of Weider if Laurie hadn't started doing it. There's so...

Heartymax - Have fun with your new elliptical! I love cross body kick backs because they isolate the triceps so well and I can assist if needed. You can't do that with other triceps exercises. Just have to make sure I don't hit myself in the face with the dumbbell (which I've done before). Sam...

Just checking in quick to let everyone know I'm still alive. :) I'm on week 2 of Slow and Heavy and for cardio I did Kimberly Spreen's Absolute Kickboxing and other stuff I can't remember right now. I also finally tried Jillian's 6 Week 6 Pack Workout #1 and liked that. Susan - DD's new "do"...

Laurie - I did Afterburn this morning and was able to modify the exercises using the slide & glides. It's such a pain to pull up about 9 puzzle mats and re-assemble when I'm done so I didn't even bother getting them out. $9 per dvd isn't bad at all. Guess I didn't realize Jillian's new series...

Heartymax - Wow! Those are some great pushup numbers! I really hate doing pushups but I do like seeing myself get stronger and being able to do them with less effort. If only you didn't have to keep doing them. I used $10 of my winnings to re-stock our candy jar at work. They wanted me to bring...

Heartymax - I would have a similar problem if we were to buy a treadmill. We don't have a full basement because we live in a bi-level so my workout area is not very big. When the kids finally leave the nest I'd like to convert one of their bedrooms into a workout room. That's my dream anyway...

Laurie - Hurray for modifiers! I used to feel like a wimp if I couldn't do the advanced version but now as long as I'm working hard, I'll do the modifier sometimes. Heartymax - I hope you have that apple pie with no regrets. Life is too short to live in a constant state of denial. My legs...

Heartymax - Great workout this morning! What kind of machine do you have - treadmill or elliptical? I think an elliptical would be better for me. It's low impact and takes up less space, too. Sam - Sugar is my downfall, too. I just love cookies, cake, muffins, donuts, chocolate, Lucky Charms...

Heartymax - Yes, you were productive last night and now tonight you'll be raring to go! Susan - EHR during BL sounds like fun. I forgot to tell you that DH shocked the heck out of me when we were in Sears 2 weeks ago and he stopped to look at treadmills and ellipticals! I might be wearing...

Well, I'm jealous of all the workouts everyone got in. I've been sick with a bad sinus cold and fever so didn't workout since last week (Wednesday or Thursday?). I didn't leave the house at all on Saturday or Sunday and slept a ton. Today I'm at work but still congested. I'm going to try to...

Laurie - I like the hopping part, too. Sam - I have a funny mental image of a person trying to do yoga in a long flannel nightgown now. :D You're right - won't work. Quad used to do a holiday party in January, too, but they either quit doing it or we stopped going. Enjoy a night out with...

Laurie - I like the idea of doing Slow and Heavy. It's been a long time since I did that one. May only do 2 weeks instead of 3 though because those workouts are pretty tough mentally and physically. Now I just have to figure out what cardio to do. May have to keep 10 Pound SD Xtreme Cardio...

Yay, Sam! I'm so excited for you! You'll have a blast and we expect a full report when you get back. ;-) I just finished GS Chest and Triceps Superset.

Heartymax - Hmmmmm. . .. Disc 9. I'll have to remember that one the next time I do STS. Susan - You seem to be doing well, my friend. Remember the happy times with your brother and all the goodness he brought to the world. I wish I could get my DD to workout. She'll kick the bag or workout in...

Heartymax - I didn't watch either football game yesterday. After taking my daughter for a haircut, grocery shopping and laundry, I felt like watching a bad Syfy movie instead. 2012 was on and I actually like that movie - mainly because Woody Harrelson is hilarious! I'm glad your energy is back...

Heartymax - Bundle up and get plenty of rest this weekend so you can hit your workouts hard next week. That's my non-professional advice. ;-) Laurie - I have trouble with Cathe's newer step workouts, too, but usually once it clicks I'm okay. Still haven't tried the new step segment in LIS...

Heartymax - I think you were the one who asked about an old Cathe VHS with a pink cover?? I did Step Max on VHS this morning and it has a pink cover so maybe that's the one? Cedie is in it but no one else I recognize. They're wearing leotards and white lace bike shorts. I am proud to say I never...

I did GS Legs Timesaver 49 min. last night. Last week I did the 32 min. Timesaver so I guess I'm working my way up to the full 68 min. w/o. Less DOMS that way at least. ;-) Took off this afternoon to take kids to the dentist. No cavities! :-). Didn't have the energy this afternoon to workout...
