Hi all, Back just for the weekend - that trip was from Sunday morning until after midnight Friday, and I'm leaving again before 6am Monday. Very tight. However, have to say, that was quite a productive trip and this next one should be less strenuous as well as being shorter - I think I get...

Hi all! Last day home for awhile - tomorrow's flight is late morning, though, which is nicer than leaving before the sun wakes up. Since it is the last day, and we have a cooler breeze, I took Sierra out for an afternoon ride. He didn't get to go yesterday, which would have been his turn...

Yes, definitely! I crave protein, extra water, and extra *sleep* when I'm pushing it hard with heavier weights, as in Meso 3. I'm just unspecifically hungrier during circuit weeks.

Great to hear from you both, Michelle and Renee! Sounds like your Round Trip was every bit as good as we keep hearing they usually are. No wonder the slots fill up so fast! It's really neat to hear that Cathe and team are just the same off camera as on; so often that's not the case. Tiny...

Ditto that! It may take a little while to find the right team. I'm on the Getting Our Licks In team, which grew out of one of the Lurker teams. You're more than welcome to stop by and see if you enjoy our company. There's also a real Lurker group still going, and it looks like they are taking...

PS, took advantage of being home to do the pre-order. 63100, that's me :eek:

Mine's now in too! 63100 :)

Good morning everyone! Thanks for the nice welcome 'home' :D This week, I opted out of a four day trip and it feels great :) It's part of learning prioritization, right? Despite not having posted about that for awhile, I'm still practicing daily to get better at managing my choices about...

I don't have either and am lifting pretty heavy - though I did buy a ton of equipment, that was a personal choice and not absolutely necessary. Whether you'd find a squat rack useful really depends on where you are with your strength and what you have on hand already. The squat rack is...

Sounds like you did really well! I also enjoyed STS - I've now done two rounds and some modified versions of it. In terms of what to do next, it really depends on your goals. After talking with a friend who was an olympic coach, I decided to follow my active rest week after STS Meso 3 (first...

It sounds to me as though this year you were seriously being considered for promotion due to your fine work ... There is a big difference between being evaluated against your peers (are you doing better/worse than those holding your current/similar position) and those who are at the next...

Wow! I am so glad you and Renee are there - and it would be terrific if we all did this together eventually! It sounds wonderfully energizing and exhausting. Cannot WAIT to hear about the Workout Blender software!!! Really want that!!! New dvds - definitely going to pre-order. All, got...

Hi all, Quick check in - things are going pretty well, though hectic as hectic can be. Next week is our review, and I have half a dozen people flying in from DC to see if my team and I have been doing a good job this past year, and whether we should get our next year's funding :eek: In a way...

Scales are often off by five pounds or more! If the old one hadn't been calibrated for awhile, it may have been reading low. It also makes a difference where you place the scale in some cases, because the levelling makes a difference in how it reads. Or, he may have eaten somewhat differently...

It doesn't sound like this class is helping you meet your goal (you mentioned you picked it partly because it was close, and partly because it would help you socialize). If you're getting used to socializing while working out, there are more enjoyable ways than to join a group that is openly...

Hi all, I wanted to give you a quick catch up on what's going on. This is mainly a vent, so please feel free to skip it and just be assured I have not broken anything, gotten sick, or had anything bad happen to the four legged kids :) STRESS VENTING STARTS ... Shortly after my last...

Another vote here for Slow and Heavy! I've begun using it as a refresher after doing an STS cycle or other multi-month rotations, to polish up my form. It's hard for me to enjoy SH for more than a week or two in a row, as the slow movement seems to add to the dread factor if I use it too much...

Good morning, all! I missed our check in - there was so much to squeeze in during my day home earlier this week that I never did get back :eek: But today is a gorgeous three day weekend, and I only have about half a day of business-work things that need to get done. Good thing, too ... plenty...

Hi all, Just got back in - what a long week! And a long drive, though very beautiful scenery. So far I have been able to check on all the four footed kids, and they are well, but they are feeling quite needy! I'd best get back to them :)

Hi all, Headed out of here - business trip (planned), and then my new political 'hobby' starts up. Did Power Hour yesterday, just the upper body, so both upper and lower have worked hard now and I can go to just my TRX :) Hopefully I can check in once or twice this week! Take care and...
