I agree that cold water with lemon juice in it does the trick for me. A splash of juice in the water is nice too, but out of habit I usually just do lemon juice. I don't use sparkling water because it makes me burp a lot! I still have diet coke a few times a week, but I really want to stop...

The second question is easy to answer: I don't put moisturizer on first. The first question, it depends. I usually work out in the evenings, then shower, and when I go to bed later, I put the Retin A on, so it's been longer than 30 minutes since I washed my face. But, on nights that I...

I do this too! I started using the Workout Manager a couple of months ago, but before that I logged my workouts on a spreadsheet for the same reason. I do this too! Today I switched Gym Style Legs to a shorter premix of the same workout, and suddenly it didn't seem too daunting! I'm still...

I used to quit exercising when I lost motivation, so for decades I alternated between periods of regular exercise and slothful periods of feeling bad about not exercising (and getting out of shape, etc.) Some time during the past year, I had an "a-ha!" moment where I realized that I don't...

I've been planning for a similar situation, because next week I'll be in D.C. on a business trip for four nights, in a hotel with NO GYM! I'm bringing Travel Fit and KPC. I plan to do Travel Fit on days 1 and 3, and KPC on day 2. Day 4 will be a rest day. Good luck with your son's medical...

Seriously! I don't want to belt my cardigan sweaters, and nobody can make me! What is UP with that? P.S. No stirrup pants for me, either, thankyouverymuch! :D

1. Alpha Hydrox Souffle - it has 12% glycolic acid and it's inexpensive -- about $15 for a jar. This is my day moisturizer, I put it on before sunscreen. 2. Retin-A 0.05% cream - by prescription only, strong stuff, but it works for reducing wrinkles, dark spots, and just making the whole...

Now I'm posting because I'm curious if I'm a Catheite or what.... edited to add: Yes, I'm a Catheite! So when I hit 300 I'll see if it changes. Will probably take a while. :)

I'm glad you asked this question Jenn, I was wondering the same thing after some pretty noticeable strength differences during Gym style Chest and Triceps yesterday. Thanks for the post Kathryn, I've made a note of this for the future.

I love Drill Max too! Have you tried the original Boot Camp from the Intensity series? Also, how about the boot camp premix of Body Max 2? Both really fun.

I usually plan my eating to include a later-evening snack, because I also get the after-dinner munchies! If I've worked out (I'm an evening exercsier), I'll have something rather substantial like a protein smoothie. But if I haven't exercised, I'll have some fruit or veggies w/ hummus, in...

Woohoo! Congrats! :D

I have some bodybuilding friends and that's what they do. I think it's common at that level of fitness to alternate the focus like that, but I don't know a great deal about it. I just know I hear talk of "leaning out" before competitions where they are doing tons of cardio to lose fat so their...

My favorite circuit is Low Impact Circuit, but part of the reason it's my favorite is that it's not the hardest! :o For toughness, I go to Drill Max for some serious butt-kicking. This is what I do (circuit premixes w/ upper or lower body only) and it gives me more leeway in what I do the...

I haven't done STS so I can't compare the two. I started P90X last year, and got bored six weeks into it. I was getting good results, but I wasn't looking forward to working out. Also, I wanted more lower body emphasis, and all the emphasis on pull-ups tweaked my shoulder. Btw, I like Tony...
