    STS first time!

    Missy, nice job taking a break last night from working out. Did you go biking with Tim? Idk how you gals keep hammering it out every single day. I get so achy. Feelin' old.

    Sorry that I don't love spinning, Carolyn.:o I knew I would use it for light spins but not the intensity of Cathe--yet. My quads aren't THAT strong. Too many options nowadays!

    Colleen, it's great to hear you're on Cathe. Isn't SC fun? I love SC, but that combo at the end, not so much! I did give UY a rest. Pulled out several things before landing on a KM premix. Now that I decided I won't go TraJoe's till later this week, that means I could have worked out...

    Good morning! A gloomy, airless, humid day--what a nightmare. When you step outdoors you are instantly beset by mosquitoes and sweat. At least the temps are much lower, gratefully. I haven't decided on a workout yet but my shoulders are still so domsy. I wonder if I can handle another UY...

    Mary, did you get stuck in this Cape traffic?? I had no idea it was bad to epic proportions! What a nightmare! http://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2013/07/08/cape-going-nowhere-holiday-traffic-nightmare-spills-over-into-monday/gRG9bQkdv0h7B4E8Chs13N/story.html?s_campaign=email_BG_TodaysHeadline

    Hi friends, I did the brief but intense UY HardCore earlier. Of course I couldn't do all the reps. I don't think I'll ever do all the reps of the pose where you sit on your tailbone (?bow or ?boat)--it's impossible. I have a bone in the way! My shoulders are so tight from yesterday's UY. In...

    I made 17-bean soup--I add broth and mirepoix, and everything else comes dry in a bag at Trader Joe's. Delish. I think all this talk of ME & MM has made me want a full-body lifting workout soon. Colleen, I hope it's just normal doms! We watched Zero Dark Thirty. Has anyone seen that? It was...

    Mary, I was at the Cape too. The humidity was wicked:mad:. I feel it's way more humid there. It was relentless. I had awesome sea breezes most of the time. With humidity like that, as long as you don't move, you're fine. Once I started doing anything with exertion, I was bathed in...

    Have I ever said I hate chair poses??;) Well, I do. I just finished UY Vitality, which is 70 mins long. I really don't know what to make of this one, but I continue to be awed by UY. There are a variety of easy and (somewhat) challenging poses. I count yogi pushups and chair poses in the...

    Good morning, girls! Sooo tired. I find it so hard to get up at 7 but not at 8. Just finished OP and am drinking my lemon water. UY or Cathe today? My quads were killing me the past two days from BB LB, from 15 mins no less. Carolyn, I had used a computer to play it, but normally I play...

    Hi my friends, Carolyn, I'd much rather follow a dvd too. I've tried doing printous and magazine-printed workouts and it doesn't hold my attention. Awesome on MM and doms! How great you and your family played Scrabble. I had packed a travel version for going to Quebec City and interested...

    Hi everyone, Missy, I'll second what Carolyn says, only because, even though I don't (like to) run, I have knee pain. Which comes strictly from Cathe workouts. If my knees can feel so crappy doing that, I imagine that the impact from running is so much harsher and therefore so much more...

    Missy, I hope your knee rehabs quick! Take it easy on it. Enjoy your long holiday weekend!

    I did UY Detox this morning. Loved it! When I've done twists in the past, I never made the connection that those twists were 'wringing' your organs and insides. (Don't you think the instructors should tell you that??) It was 72 mins long. So awesome. (Carolyn, I'm thinking you should do...

    Good morning! Colleen didn't say. I have no idea what to exercise to. Better figure it out, pronto. Yes, you have several yrs before you can leave the kids alone. By law, it is 12 yrs old, I believe. Do you have two brothers? Can't remember. Yes, portobello! Sleep well? I did. Went to sleep...

    Carolyn, my kids refuse to go out to the store with me. More time on the computer, and deathly afraid of running into someone they know! It is peaceful without them. When I went out after 5 to get my cress from the garden, I suddenly learned, hey, where's the humidity? And it actually feels...

    I totally feel the same way about sweating and heart-pumping in my workouts, but my body needs the flexibility stuff. I like ME too; it has been a very long time since I pulled that one out. Nice job! Ugh, the humidity is over us like a blanket; can't recall it being this bad. That's a good...

    Hi everyone, I just finished Yin Yoga. Wow. I didn't know going in what it would entail, but never in my imagination would I have guessed holding just a few poses 3-5 mins. Colleen has mentioned that before, but I didn't know how long those minutes were until you actually are doing them. It...

    Jean, goodness what you've gone through with the floor finishers. So fortunate they hadn't cashed your deposit check! You are so close to moving with the steps you are taking now, I can taste it. Lucky you with menopause. My doc says avg age to stop a period is 52 now. Not there yet. I...

    I had no idea there were tornado warnings. I went food shopping for an hr+ and when I got home I learned some brief showers had passed through. Didn't even get under the tree canopies wet. Not a breeze either. Carolyn, I hope you get some sleep tonight.
