    weight vest

    What about changing between exercises? For instance if Leaner Legs, she switches between squats and dead lifts. Do you do Dead Lifts with the vest on? And do you only wear it for leg w/o and not full body where the exercises may change up a little? TIA, Jeanette

    Robin (rjroubi), answer to your hummus question...

    This recipe sounds really good! I found adobe sauce with the Hispanic food section, but to find the chipotle chiles in adobe sauce I hand to look in the condiment section by the pickles and canned peppers! HTH Jeanette

    Creatine

    DON'T DO IT! This stuff is BAD. My DH took it awhile ago (before we met) and he said he did get better but he cramped horribly one day. So much that he couldn't move his arms. Bad stuff. JMHO. Jeanette

    Who writes in a food Journal?... regularly

    One thing I forgot to mention. The reason I went back to journaling was to help identify foods that upset my stomach. I've had problems with IBS, lactose intolerance, Gurd and hiccups for years now. I know for the most part what foods to avoid but I don't like to limit my food options...

    Thursday check in 26 January

    Hello! I'm feeling a little better today. I ended up doing 30 minutes on the eliptical last night. I also added shoulders and triceps. I was trying to remember what the CTX format was for these. I think I got close. I slept in this morning to combat the cold but I'm going to try and do a...

    Who writes in a food Journal?... regularly

    I used to use a palm pilot/pc version of balance log. I started obsessing about the calories and I really wasn't good about tracking everything or trying to find something close to what I ate. Now, I've made my own little log sheet for the week and I just write down what I ate (not portion...

    Basement workouts -- need a few opinions please.

    I have to make sure to place my step behind the duct work or I will sometimes hit it when my arms are overhead. Also with step-ups on the high step I make sure to get out of the way of the light bulb! I disagree however with the comment about the basement being cooler. If it is unfinished...

    Hello! Today was Leaner Legs again for me. I've been able to increase my weight on my squats this month so I guess I'm doing something right with this CTX rotation. Only a few more days left with this rotation and I'm anxious to move on. Not sure if I want to join Wendy in doing the...

    Hello everyone! Today was supposed to be a rest day but I rested on friday instead. I did CTX Kickbox and the Kathy Smith Project You Cardio Fat Burning Foundation DVD that came in my box of Perdue chicken. The Project You was definetly not advanced but it was still a decent workout. It had...

    Hello everyone! It's been a whole week since I exercised. Well, not really. We went on a mini ski vacation this weekend up into Canada. I was surprised how winded I was trying to do CTX Power Circuit today. Very odd. I'm looking forward to getting back to my CTX rotation. Have a good...

    hiccups

    Although I'm not pregnant, I've had the hiccups going on 4 years now.....everyday. But I only get one at a time. And it is loud. Sounds like a little dog. My doctors think it is related to acid reflux. I take meds now but if I have a lot of caffine or other acidic stuff it's even worse...

    IMax 3 Question

    The recovery time in-between the interval and the step portion is shorter for the "hardcore" aspect (so Cathe says in the w/o). I end up pausing to catch my breath. IMAX 1 the recovery time is enough for me. IMAX2, I'm not too sure, my dvd was messed up so they are sending me a new one...

    Hello Everyone. This morning my body decided it needed some more sleep so I obliged. But that means I have to do CTX 10*10*10 and Step+INtervals tonight after walking around a trade show all day! Racquet ball never happened last night as we showed up at 5:40 for our 6pm reservation which...

    Self confidence . . .

    I've been going through that for the past year. Actually it's kinda cyclical for me. I went to a book store and bought some self-help workbooks. This one is pretty good...
