Thanks for sharing your beautiful, heartfelt story, Briee.

Thanks so much for your kind words and thoughts - they really mean a lot! This is going to be an extremely hard year for this family.:-( Catherine, it must have been so hard working with children who needed bone marrow transplants. It takes a special kind of person to do that kind of work...

I haven't worked out for three days because I've been busy at work and very distracted by some terrible news from a close friend. She has four sons, ages 6-17, and her 15-yr-old son, Nathan, just got diagnosed with Ewings Sarcoma, which is a type of bone cancer that typically affects male youth...

Lots of activity in chin-up land - yay!:) And I'm loving all the yoga talk. Deb, it's always great to hear from you! You're so encouraging and SO strong! You sound like you've got an awesome routine going. Catherine, I love Magically Hips. I think the whole DVD is just great and I love...

I checked in this morning, but when I came back just now to see who's around, I saw that my post never made it. Anyway, good morning to all! I was saying earlier that I wish I had ANY chins to maintain!x( You guys are incredibly strong! I skipped my power yoga workout Saturday to prepare...

Oh Briee, it's been a tough winter for your family so far, huh? Funny how years can go by without anyone getting sick and then BAM! one year it hits you. I'm glad you've found the energy to post a bit, but I agree with Catherine that you should get thee to a doctor and not mess around too long...

Woo Hoo, Catherine! I, on the other hand, have not been doing as much yoga because I'm concentrating on strength and cardio and it's hard to fit it all in. My UB workout was very intense yesterday and I shouldn't have played tennis afterward because my poor muscles were too fatigued. I'm...

Yeah, being chin-up-less can be pretty lonely.:-( :P

Hey Chins! So sorry to hear you've been sick again, Briee. Stretching definitely counts. Just don't push yourself otherwise - your body will tell you when it's ready SO LISTEN TO IT!!! Although I haven't been doing chins, I have been steadily working out. Did B&G Tues, Imax3 1-6...

Hey Catherine - great pix! You are one buff mama! Great going with those chins too. I didn't work out yesterday because I had to go to Richmond, but I did PUB down only followed by yoga and the stability ball ab segment from B&G on Sunday and am going to do B&G with a friend this morning.

Sandra, am I understanding correctly that your goal was to do one unassisted chin-up, and when you finally decided to go for that one rep, you were able to do FIVE???? Five at one time??? If so, I am SO not speaking to you!:P :P Catherine, how'd your foot do during LIC? Briee, ah, now...

I wish someone would work out to videos with me! I do yoga with a friend once a week or so and that same friend and I are starting to do UB at the Y once a week, but it would be great to do an entire rotation with someone for 90 days. I remember you kind of liking Yoga X a while back, Briee...

Just wanted to say I bought the Rykas from shoesontheweb two days ago and they got here today. That was some very speedy free shipping! I'm usually a size 8-1/2 or 9, so I ordered 9's and they're a tad snug. I'm going to work out in them for a few minutes tomorrow and if they're...

Joanne and Melody, don't give Briee the satisfaction of knowing you're slacking off on your yoga or I'll never hear the end of it.:P

Sounds delicious! Thanks for sharing.:)

Hey Deb! Nice to hear from you! You are so impressive with those chins! I bet Christmas was especially fun for you this year with your little guy. How old is he now? Catherine, woo hoo on the yoga! Briee doesn't know what she's missing. I'm not too sore today from B&G, which surprises...

Hey all! I did B&G today (that is THE most awesome workout!) and am going to do an UB workout tomorrow at the Y with a friend. I'm going to use the assisted pull-up machine at a level where I hopefully won't get injured. We're going to try to work out there every week for a change of pace. I...

I still remember Cathe commenting at the Road Trip how everyone was in such great shape. When I replied it was mostly because of HER, she seemed a bit surprised. I love stories like yours, Terri and Amy!:)

Thanks for posting this, Wendy. And thanks for posting the link to where I could purchase them in white, Mary - I just ordered them.:)

I LOVE my job! I love being a mom and I love working part-time as the Director of Development for the Y. We raise money by holding extremely fun events. Today we held a Polar Bear Plunge where people aged 6-71 ran into the frigid waters of a "creek" off the Chesapeake Bay. It was a blast and...
