Finally measured myself. I wish I had done this in the beginning. I am down to the weight I was 6 years ago but measurements are 1 to 1.5 inches bigger in most areas. Finished lower body 1. I think I will just use lower body 2 in the future. I still like it so much better than 1>

Finished upper body 1. Extra rest day must have helped. I was down 5lbs from my July 1 weigh in. I frequently have a delayed loss. Usually by the time I give up and start eating a lot again, 3 days later the scale is down. Of course since I would start eating again the gain was delayed and...

Lannette I wish I wasn't too lazy for ebay. I have several items that would be worth more if sold online instead of a yard sale. This a lot of work for me but not really that hard but time consuming. But I realize how much harder it would be for my family to clean out the house when we are...

Weighed on July 1 and weighed the same as June 1. I am thrilled. I spent most of the month hungry all the time and eating twice as much as I had been on my diet. Can't decide if I will start week 5 today or Monday.

My husband took down all the boxes we stored in the eves of the garage. He grabbed one box and a coonskin cap fell out and he thought it was an animal. The kids (now 45 and 48) must have gotten it at Daniel Boone's house. One huge box was filled with empty boxes. The worst was finding...

I did lower body 2 on Thursday and I did not like it near as well as 1. I don't know why. I need to compare the two. Today was upper body 2.

I have come back to Cathe after a long time. There were usually multiple posts a day. I didn't post much but loved to read the exercise questions people asked and the answers. Change of subject I wondered if anyone else keeps everything. My house is neat but my closets and drawers are...

Sunday was lower body 1. I think it was one of the best lower body workouts I have tried. I upped weights a little on upper body today. Since the workouts have been hard, I'm not in a rush to go heavier until it gets easier. On some of the sets I just added a rep or two . I can't believe it...

I should have started week 4 today but I had a mammogram . When she was positioning me she pushed my shoulder back and over and I am still sore in that shoulder. It seems so strange because that shoulder never hurts. Husbands prostate biopsy came back as same stage of cancer as 6 months ago...

Finished week 3. That's more than I have done in a long time. I can't wait to see how well the single body part per day works. Of course that is 3 weeks away. I don't remember Cathe having any other program with single body parts per day. I think I will try to get extra leg days in during the...

Good Father's day but too much eating. Finished giant sets. Ten reps seems so much harder than eight. Supersets on Tuesday and week three will be done.

Thanks snowlover, it's funny I actually enjoy the workouts once I get started. It's the getting started. I finished tri sets this morning. I even lifted heavier than the other 2 days of tri sets and I can already feel the soreness. But that's good. Tomorrow I take my husband in for a second...

Finished week 2 on Tuesday. So will start week 3 with tri sets today. I don't mind the 12 week rotation. I seem to need a written schedule to follow. Choosing a workout myself even though I have dozens of dvds would probably end with no workout.

Did not post super sets the other day or that I did most of STS original extended stretch. I think I will probably use that instead of STS2 for recovery. I did the short version of lower body blast without the squats since I also did tri sets. I was able to do warrior lunges with the gliding...

Yes I have been told I have arthritis and shots in both knees. They don't bother me other than lunges. Back 25 years ago I had a trainer 3 times a week for nine years and was in good shape but lunges bothered me then. I like to say 16 years ago I had a baby. My granddaughter was born and I...

yea finished super sets so at least I am in week 2. Looking at week 4 with lower body 1 and 2 , of course lots of lunges. I got out lower body blast, lean legs & abs, gym style legs and great glutes. I'm thinking of adding premix to the weeks 4-9 but I will have to review them. It's been...

Finished trisets Tuesday and tried active recovery Wednesday. You were right about Active recovery. I picked a few exercises to do and then did some of total body stretch. I found out I can't do any exercise that involves kneeling-it hurts. I do like firewalkers. I haven't done them in...

Haven't tried static lunges in awhile. It worked when I had my toes against a post so my knee wouldn't go past toes. All other lunges hurt. I won't be doing mobility 1 again. I am still dizzy and it has been at least 15 minutes. Too much hanging head down. I was surprised that the last...

Yes I did squats but wasn't sure if it hit all the same muscles. My left knee was sore last night but seems to be ok this morning. I wonder what mobility will be like later today.

Finished giant sets. I am doing the 12 week rotation of STS2. I really like the workout cards. Since I didn't preview the workout first I just used 1/3 of the weight Cathe used. Sorry to say that is about right. My knees won't let me do lunges. What would hit the same muscles?
