    10# Challenge 9/21

    Thanks so much Debbie. I think if I allowed myself one cheat day (instead of the whole weekend!) I would make much better progress ;). I have STS as well but I need to get myself back to working out on a very regular basis first before I commit to STS. I did start it once before but then got...

    10# Challenge 9/21

    Hello ladies! Well, I sure am glad I am not the only one who is having a hard time staying on track and I really appreciate everyone sharing their slips-ups and supporitng one another here. While I did really well with workouts, my food intake was far from ideal. Friday night was sushi and wine...

    Debbie and Linda - sounds like yesterday was a soup day. Both soups sound delicious! I too made soup, it's a traditional polish soup and it may sound weird at first but it's quite tasty. It was Dill Pickle Soup! It does have some half and half cream in it so it's not the healthiest choice but I...

    10 Challenge - September 17

    Thanks Melissa, I like your way of looking at it, it definitely could have been worse :). After posting I got a grip and got over it. No point beating myself up. Instead I went home and did upper body and abs from Squeeze Stronger followed by a 30 minute run.:D

    10 Challenge - September 17

    Well it's time to come clean....I had a slip up this afternoon and had a cookie :( Yes it tasted good but it really wasn't worth the guilt I'm feeling now. I don't know why I sabotage myself like this, I'm quite disappointed with my lack of willpower. I guess the best thing to do now is not to...

    Thanks for the tip Linda, I wonder if that would actaully work for me? The problem is that would mean parking in front of the house instead of in the garage at the back to come in through the front door and not the kitchen door. It might be worth it, at least until it gets cold. I tell ya DH...

    #10 Challenge - September 16

    Thanks for the tip Erin, when you said that you wrab whatever is out and start eating I just had to laugh because that is so me after work! I'd take off my shoes, put the purse down, head for the fridge/pantry and grab! I didn't realize it has become so much of a routine for me until DH asked...

    Shampoo/Cond for frizzy hair?

    I too have curly hair that is quite dry. I found that when I stopped shampooing every day it has made a world of difference. I now shampoo twice a week and condition it every day. I use Frizz Ease shampoo and conditioner and I also use the Frizz Ease Thermal Protection Serum every day since I...

    #10 Challenge - September 16

    Good morning everyone! It's a beautiful and sunny day here today and I'm determined to stay on track and not let the small slips ups get to me. Yesterday's workout was a yoga class and a 40 minute run. Eating was on track until I got home and just had to have some pretzels, but if that's the...

    10# Challenge - September 15

    Hello everyone! Yesterday I did the Viper and it really did me in! I got through it but it wasn't pretty. I was a bit hungry before I started the workout so that could have something to do with it. Eating yesterday was not bad in terms of food selection but I think I still might have had a bit...

    The 10# Challenge

    Wow chin-ups, you ladies don't mess around! I would be lucky if I squeeked one out, but I guess for now I should just focus on one goal at a time ;)

    The 10# Challenge

    Hey ladies, would you mind if I joined this check-in as well. I haven't been on the forums in a while and actually haven't been on track with my workouts and eating since January and it's really starting to show in the waistline. Laura - thanks for suggesting the check-in, I too have a really...

    anyone care to share results?

    I am only on disk 6 so far and I haven't lost any weight yet but that probably has something to do with my less than clean eating in the last week or so. HOWEVER, I've already noticed more definition in my upper body and in particular my lats and shoulders. I am definitely optimistic and...

    Black-Eyed Pea Stew

    I really like this soup as well! I also added garlic to it and some fresh thyme and mushrooms. I used swiss chard and it was quite tasty but I think I'll be making it with spinach next time

    Steamed Mussels

    This is a favorite of mine. I guess the bread and butter don't really make it a healthy recipe but it sure tastes good!:D Steamed Mussels 3-4 pounds mussels 3 tablespoons olive oil ½ red onion, finely chopped 2 garlic cloves, minced 6 sprigs fresh thyme 1/2 cup white wine 1/2 lemon...

    Light Italian Wedding Soup

    Thanks for sharing the recipe. I made this soup on the weekend and it turned out really tasty! I did some things a little differently. - I used about 10 cups of home made chicken stock and one 19oz. can of seasoned tomatoes instead of two 14oz. cans - I added some fresh herbs to the meatballs...

    Cathe TV ?/Suggestion

    Great idea! I tried doing them and only managed to do two wall squats with weights! I just couldn't get down low enough to pick up the weights for a third time, my knees were really not liking it.

    Has anyone in Canada received STS yet?

    I live in Alberta and received STS on Wednesday. It was shipped though USPS and I didn't have to pay any extra duty charges. HTH

    So who's waiting to start STS

    Catherine, I'm not starting the full program until probably the last week in February/beginning of March since I'm having minor surgery next week. That being said I just got STS last night and decided to preview some of the workouts. Well, previewing turned into me doing disk 1, plyo legs and...
