Hey there! Today I did legs for the first time in ages! I used our new Bowflex Revolution. What a fun machine! Since cycling season is here I'm going to be lifting lighter weights and higher reps. I noticed that some of the weight seems heavier than on my other weight machine with "real"...

Diane Sue - I'm sorry you're having HR monitor issues. It's like the whole bike computer thing too. If I am not averaging a certain speed and my HR isn't high enough, I don't feel like I'm getting a good workout. But we all work out hard and we also should enjoy our workouts and we are doing...

Thanks you guys. :) I actually had a great ride this morning with my girlfriend. She's one of the ones I have such a hard time with because she's (admittedly) so competitive so it's very hard to go out and have a ride where we're not just trying to kill each other. But today, although it wasn't...

Good morning my friends! How is everybody? Well, yesterday I went to the Boulder Center for Sports Medicine and had my seecond opinion on the exercise-induced asthma since the inhalers weren't working and I was quite suspicious and guess what? I don't have EIA at all!!! In fact, my numbers...

Dallys - A teenager? Really now. Some people will say just about anything to try to get a top made for them. :P Thanks for the lovely compliment though. I'm cleaning out all of the stash in my sewing room today since my sewing machine is in for a tune up. It was supposed to be ready when I...

Oh you guys, about the colon thing, I figured if Katie Couric could do it on national television, I could certainly do it. Drinking that stuff the night before was the worst part but I tried to look at it like a colon cleansing that the Hollywood stars actually choose to do. :) I figured it was...

Hey Peeps! Just got back from a trip to my Dad's in Washington. We were hoping to get a lot done on his house and his boat but he didn't want to do any real work. Oh well. The 10 year house building project! I did get some good 6 mile runs in while I was there. MAJOR hill work. My muscles...

Hey Guys! Don't know if any of you are still around, but you should check out this video if you haven't already seen it (maybe it's made the rounds around here already). If this link doesn't work, go to You Tube (no, I don't frequent You Tube, but a friend sent me the e-mail and since I...

Thanks Diane Sue. DH loves Mexican food and we probably go once or twice (okay, twice) a week. I'm always soooo thirsty afterwards! I hope you enjoyed your rest day. :) Suz We can judge the heart of a man by his treatment of animals. -- Immanuel Kant (1724-1804)...

Hello Peeps! How are you all doing? I haven't even popped in lately to read, as I've been so busy with work and other stuff, so I hope you are all well. It has been sooooooooooooooooooooooooo windy lately that I haven't been able to ride outside. Well, I did ride a week ago Saturday...

Diane Sue - That will be fun when you get your new machine. :) I bet your dogs love their new beds. I need to make some new ones for my dogs. They sure love their dog beds! There is another place that I don't think I told you about where sewers review ALL kinds of machines - it's...

Hello everyone! Just thought I'd pop in and say hi. I'm still training for cycling season. Still keeping the weight the same (eta: meaning my body weight :P). I'm also now planning to run the Bolder Boulder on Memorial Day which is a 10k, and since I don't run much b/c of the bursitis in my...

Hey Girls! DH and I were going to ride outside today. We should have gone earlier because the wind has picked up. It was really windy all night long and then pretty still this morning and now it's getting pretty windy again. Darn! I'm going to do CC Press Play instead (as soon as I'm finished...

Hey Lora - Miss you too! :) Debbie - Did you see my post yesterday about your HR monitor? Suz We can judge the heart of a man by his treatment of animals. -- Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) http://www.picturetrail.com/dogs2birds

Hello Peeps! Just thought I'd pop in on you all and say hello. I'm still doing my cycling training and throwing in a couple of Cardio Coaches a week. I'm doing legs twice a week and ad in upper body and abs in between sets. DH and I got to ride outside on Saturday. That was great and he kept...

Hey Storm! Good to see you. Thanks for asking about my training. I checked in yesterday. So you can see what I'm doing training-wise. As I mentioned, my training is pretty boring around here so I'm not checking in regularly. Plus I'm so busy at work these days and it takes a long time to read...

Hey Peeps! Been crazy busy at work. I see you are all working hard as usual. Here's a quick rundown of my workout week now that I'm training for cycling - and my legs are FRIED! Monday - am did legs: squats, leg extensions, leg curls - 3 sets of 15 and did biceps, triceps and abs during...

One thing you might want to check into before getting them is how health insurance will be affected. I was going to get them until a girlfriend of mine who got them said that if I were to get breast cancer health insurance would not cover me. That was quite a blow. That could compeletely wipe...

Thank God for places like Best Friends Sanctuary. Of all the dogs rescued, they only had to put one down. Bay Area Doglovers Responsible About Pitbulls (Bad Rap) played a big role in the evaluation of these dogs after their resuce and they also have placed a lot of them. If you go to their site...

THAT'S funny! :) I wonder if she'll think a little differently when she is eating it? If she heard you, that is. I'm seeing a new TV show where you go around and critique how healthy/unhealthy the food is that people have on the conveyor belts at the checkout at the grocery store. Suz We...
