    STS Pyramid Challenge - December

    Good Morning! I was feeling a bit run down over the weekend (fighting off a cold) plus I had a bunch of house cleaning to do, so I took 4 days off! :eek: With my in-laws flying in today plus dd's b-day and Christmas, I'm not sure how much I'll be checking in here for the next week. I do plan...

    STS Pyramid Challenge - December

    Good Morning Gals. :) I just did Disc 24 B&B. Those drop-sets are intense! My heart just wasn't in the workout today but I am done. I just realized that I haven't taken a rest day in 11 days though, so I'm definitely taking one tomorrow. I *need* to do Ye Olde "Clean Max" tomorrow anyway before...

    STS Pyramid Challenge - December

    Just finished up Disc 23 Legs. It wasn't too horrible - Disc 17 with all its squats and deadlifts is by far the most difficult STS leg workout for me. I am pretty good at endurance exercises (must have mostly slow-twitch muscle fibers) and today's wall squats and low plane lunges were a gift. :)...

    STS Pyramid Challenge - December

    Hi Gals! Today was cardio and I did MMA:Boxing including the bonus bag add-on. I'm a sweaty mess. :D Tomorrow I start M2W4. Belinda: Nice scores on your workout today and congrats on getting your house too! Where are you moving? I live in beautiful Montana. :) Thanks for the well wishes - dd is...

    STS Pyramid Challenge - December

    What a weird day I'm having. Hardly got any sleep at all last night as my husband and I had "date night" at home (translation: watched 3 episodes of "Burn Notice", ate popcorn, then worked off the popcorn calories with some extracurricular activity :p) So I was just going to bed at 1:30 am when...

    STS Pyramid Challenge - December

    Today was cardio and I was feeling retro so I did MIC. :eek: A decade ago I could tell I was in good shape if I could do this one non-stop using an 8" step. Drumroll...... I did it! :p I had to laugh at the cheesy old CIA set and uncomfortable looking cropped "jackets" and high rise shorts the...

    STS Pyramid Challenge - December

    Hi Steph! Too funny you are missing your weights... STS is addictive, isn't it? :P I've actually been jonesing for some cardio, but I'm gonna be good and finish up Meso 2 before I add more. I am glad that I decided to do STS 6x/week just for Meso 1 and 2 on the way up the pyramid and dropping...

    STS Pyramid Challenge - December

    I posted earlier today in the November thread, so sorry if this is redundant! :P Hi gals! Today was Disc 20 - Legs. Well it was by no means easy, I find this one much kinder than Disc 17. Not sure if I'll do anything else workout-wise today. Both kiddos came into our room and woke us up at...

    I thought since we are now in December I'd start a new thread. :) Here is a copy of Kiki's November invite for all to join:

    STS Pyramid Challenge - November

    Hi gals! Today was Disc 20 - Legs. Well it was by no means easy, I find this one much kinder than Disc 17. :) Not sure if I'll do anything else workout-wise today. Both kiddos came into our room and woke us up at 4:45 am, so I didn't get enough sleep. Plus my daughter's school Christmas program...

    STS Pyramid Challenge - November

    I only got about 6 hours of sleep last night (ds wasn't feeling well and climbed in bed w/us) and then I had my first mammogram this morning. The actual procedure itself wasn't too bad-the long wait in 3 different waiting rooms was more annoying-heh. I have to admit I was feeling pretty tired...

    STS Pyramid Challenge - November

    Good Morning! Just checking in and procrastinating before I do Disc 17 (Legs). :P Brenda: Great to hear you have a new puter on the way soon! We are all done decorating and almost done shopping for Christmas as well :) I need to fill up the advent calendar with treats and toys today for the...

    STS Pyramid Challenge - November

    Just finished up Disc 16 (CST) and Insane Abs -- feels good to be done! I've still got a slight case of bronchitis so Insane Abs is as much cardio as I can handle. Hi Steph: You're almost in the home stretch now! So you *really hate* M2W3, huh? I had to go check it out as I have it on board...

    STS Pyramid Challenge - November

    Hi Ladies! I hope everyone had a terrific weekend. :) I was sick on Thanksgiving and ended up with laryngitis - yikes! DD was really sick all holiday weekend as well. :( On the bright side, I did manage to get in all 3 M2 W2 workouts on Saturday and Sunday. I did a major grocery shopping trip in...

    Evening snack attacks!

    Popcorn! Although I admit I eat the microwave kind (Pop Secret Homestyle) and I sprinkle mine with cheddar flavored dust, but you can make a healthy air-popped version. I love Breaking Bad too - what a nail-biter! ETA: It sounds like you enjoy snacking on salty foods, but what about some...

    STS Pyramid Challenge - November

    Hi Gals! It sure is quiet around here - I guess everyone is busy with Thanksgiving coming up. I am sick with a head cold, so no cardio this week, but I am still going to try and keep up with my STS and ab workouts and maybe do extra stretching. Today I have Disc 15 B&B on my calendar. Brenda...

    STS Pyramid Challenge - November

    Howdy! It was tough to get motivated today - I took dd to a birthday party last night and then didn't get enough sleep. Once I got into the workout (Disc 15 Back and Bis) it felt great though. :) I was psyched that I was able to significantly increase my weights on both biceps and deadlifts...

    Must Resist... Fitness Vortex... (I'm thinking about it though- sounds like fun!) :D I just finished up disc 13. I LOVE working shoulders and triceps -- chest, not so much. It seems like time just can't go fast enough during all those chest presses LOL. I'll make sure to do a good stretch here...
