Jules, I want to visit Montana very much. My family is in Grand Junction, CO. I go out there at least once a year for a long visit. I was just there in February. My boyfriend is a professional photographer, and I do it for a hobby. I go out west with him whenever I can. We're thinking...

I have been on the couch this week due to a stomach virus. Haven't been able to get back to STS since Saturday. I am going to try to continue tonight, but can't really do any cardio right now. Anything that jiggles my innards is not good. Jules, what does the MT stand for???? Medical...

I am not a fan of extreme hot weather, but after a very long, unusally cold winter, I am ready for some warmer temps. The last two weeks here have been wonderful....sunny, breezy, temps is the 70s. However, I know this will not last long. It is in the 80s this weekend, and humid. I am...

If I understand it correctly, Greek yogurt is nothing but plain yogurt with all the liquids removed. It is much thicker than regular yorgurt, and has a more tart, sour taste. I used skim milk, and added no sugar, so it's low-fat and low-sugar. I just used as a starter, some Greek yogurt...

Ahhhh, braces. I remember those. Had mine for close to 3 years. I was absolutely miserable when I got them; the very first day, not only did I get the braces put on, but then I got rubber bands AND headgear. Talk about pain. I could hardly eat for two weeks. Every time I would go for...

I did disc 2 on Wednesday. I had to drop the weight a little on some of the tricep exercises to keep good form. I felt it the next day, particuarly in my triceps, and am still feeling it a bit today. Yeah!!! I didn't feel much after disc one....but I think I'm comparing this to my...

Sure....we should have a check in. What should it be called??? April Foolers ?? LOL

I am checking out disc 2 for tomorrow. I can't really do chin-ups well unassisted, so I think I will just use my band, like I did during P90X. I feel I'll get more focus on my back, and less on the arms. I am also going to have to buy at least some 20lb dumbbells before Meso 2. I have up...

I tried my hand this weekend at making Greek yogurt. I used skim milk and some Greek yogurt I bought at the store. After draining it, I think it is pretty close to the store version...maybe a bit more custard-like even. The taste is similar too. I am wondering about the nutritional values...

I found today that I had to go heavier on some of the exercises, especially for the biceps and shoulders. The push-up are such a joke for me. I can bang them out when I do them on one knee, with the other leg raised, but just have a horrible time when I go up on my toes. I've done P90X...

I've been slowly phasing out the diet sodas. I'm not totally there yet, as this is really my one vice. I have been making a point to take water to work to have with lunch. I find it's easier not to drink it at work; it's at home where I tend to drink too much of it.

Here we go!!!! I am starting the STS/SC rotation today. I would consider it a major gain if by the end of this 3 1/2 months, I could do all my push-ups on my toes. I'm starting out with a small goal here, so anything else that happens will be a pleasant surprise.

I really have come to like this series. My least favorite is Travel Fit, my favorites are MMA Boxing and Athletic Step. My heart rate gets up there, I sweat, I breathe hard...I'm working hard, and that's the important thing. I can always add more intensity by using weighted gloves. I have...

I am watching this series through Netflix; I am in season 2 now. I love any kind of historical fiction. I have read many histories on the English/Scottish/Spanish royal lineages because my family tree has been traced back to many of these lines. It is amazing to me that anyone ever...

I always try to look at finishing a workout as a challenge. Did I finish it...did I do it better than before.... When I look at it as a challenge, rather than work, there is no dread factor.

I started taking dance lessons 5 years ago, in my late 30s. I love it. I am addicted to it. I can now do 16 different dances to varying degrees of difficulty. Thing is, I never knew I could dance. I have some background in music, so I thought I could possibly do it....who knew I would be...
