Hi all! Sounds like everyone enjoyed their holiday. Same here. But wo's are off. The new dog has lots of energy - she's 4 years old - in comparison to the 10 year old, so we're taking her for more walks/runs to wear her out. It's great, because the exercise helps keep her calmer for...

Happy Sunday! Today was DD's 19th birthday, so we went over to Canada for dinner so she could order a drink legally. DS has been home for a couple days, too, so combined with the new furry critters, the house has been very hectic. Looking forward to starting off the week with a wo, and catch...

Happy Thursday! So . . . we have been looking for a golden retriever to rescue for about a year now, since our youngest went to college and the house was suddenly a lot quieter. And had finally decided that wasn't working, so maybe we should get cats again, so that's how that one came home on...

Happy Tuesday! So, yesterday I didn't get in a wo because the evening was spent going to a rescue and adopted a cat. Been sort of looking and found one that sounded like it was for us - about 10 months old and very quiet and easy going. Tonight also no wo - had things to do in the house for...

Happy Sunday! Lower Body Blast this morning. I forgot how many reps are in this one! Laundry getting done, house cleaned, and making a grocery run shortly to stock up on clean food. Hope you are enjoying your day, too!

Happy Saturday! Yesterday, Friday, was a rest day. DH and I found a new place that's an ice cream joint with craft beer, Sunday brunch and Taco Tuesdays. very eclectic but they make their own stuff - ice cream and beer. Will need to go back again to try more. Today was sprints, ballet...

Hi all! D6 done. Worn out. Hot and humid here, so even though I was in the cool basement, felt very drained. And yesterday was a needed rest day. Belinda - Great job on D7 and today's kickboxing. DH doesn't do those with you? ;) Heidi - Good job on cardio slam. A day off from baby helped...

Hi all! D4 is done, and I am worn out! Completely! Not even enough energy to do abs. To answer both of you, yes, the legs have been feeling it all day! Belinda - Awesome that you are going heavier this time around. Bet you are building some awesome muscle. :D Heidi - Great job getting...

Hi all! Tonight was sprints. After a leg day those are hard. Belinda - Figured you were with your kids this weekend. Good that you get to enjoy so much time with them. Great job on picking right back up with STS. Waving Hi to Heidi! Dinner is salmon - DH grilled while I ran. Hope you are...

Hi all, and Happy Father's Day to your DH's, too! XTrain legs today for the first leg day. I'll do D6 later in the week. Heidi - PUB is hard no matter which way you do it. Good goal for the next 4 weeks. Don't think I remember a rotation that included the first group of tower wo's. Belinda...

Happy Saturday! So this was one of my "doubles" days. Sprint intervals and ballet class (so much more flexible when it's this warm) and then D2 plus abs tonight. Proud to say I am done with M1 Week 1. Heidi - Taking care of a baby is hard, plus working on top of it. Maybe a timesaver premix...

Happy Friday! Woke up this morning with some wonderful UB stiffness, and, best of all, had bicep doms! This evening I did EBE2 Weighted Legs, finished with the 100 hip thrust challenge. Belinda - My DH likes Cathe wo's, but doesn't tend to do them on his own, but if he wanders down while...

Happy Wednesday! Yesterday was worn out after work and then watering all the flowers. I forget how much giving blood wears me out. Today jumped back in with D1. So, getting back on track, and huffing through the wo. I also ordered the Fit Tower wo's since I have the tower and like the other...

Hi all! I gave blood today (we have regular blood drives at the office) - so it's a rest day. It's miserably hot again, so we're splurging and going for ice cream. We don't have any in the house, so that will keep it in check . . . most of the time. Belinda - How fun doing CL with a friend...

Happy Monday! Skorcher here, too, so intervals on the tm this evening. No way was I going to move that fast this morning. Was definitely stiff and feeling every step in my glutes - love it! Also evening grocery run to stock the house with clean food - didn't make it there yesterday. Heidi...

Happy Sunday! Yes, I did start STS today. Started with D3 so I have the option of getting in another leg workout later in the week. Also planted more flowers today - that's a lot of bending, squatting, stretching after a workout. Was really feeling it - which was the idea. Belinda -...

Hi all! Checking in late - but my hands are finally clean. Yesterday was a 2 mile run, and today was ballet class this morning, them planting flowers this afternoon/evening. We finally have our gardens in good enough shape to plant some annuals Belinda - Good job on your wo's. I have decided...

Good morning! Quickly reporting that last night I did do my run - sprint intervals followed by a 20 min easy run. Be back tonight to report weights. See ya then.

Before you brought up STS, I was thinking 1-2 days LB and 1 day total body. But since you brought up STS, and that has 2 UB wo's /week, then I need to add an extra wo. With running I need to do 2 days to keep everything working well, which is my only issue with STS right now. Still thinking.

So, been thinking over night about STS, and here's my proposed schedule: Monday - UB Tuesday - run Wednesday - LB Thursday - run Friday - rest/yoga, or make up day Saturday - LB a.m. and UB p.m. (that will take commitment!) Sunday - run Looks doable, it's the Saturday that has me a bit...
