i like to calorie cycle/stagger too. so if i went over like you did, i would ease back the next day to create a slightly bigger calorie deficit than normal. and disneyland is an awesome reason to go over a bit!!!

how about.. HYDROXYCUT and it's various relatives.. UGH!

um, you guys are a married couple, not roommates. i think the counselor's advice is way off mark. just my 2 cents.

age of technology, for sure.

grab a protein bar! there are lots on the market that taste just like candy bars - i personally love "pure protein" brand but there are many. pure protein has 180 cals and 20 grams of protein. there's also "premier nutrition protein" that is 270 cals and 30 grams of protein. both taste really...

lol not if you're using them for recovery workouts!

using 3-lb weights lol.. seriously, who benefits from using 3-lbs?

"He calls the culprits foods "layered and loaded" with combinations of fat, sugar and salt — and often so processed that you don't even have to chew much." geez that's sad. food manufacturers just want people to stuff as much into their bodies as possible.

yes, the gloves are 1-lb each. for some reason, they market them as "2-lb weighted gloves"

bring a healthy snack with you! preferably something high protein like yogurt, cottage cheese, nuts, couple slices of turkey, etc.. the protein will sustain you until dinner.

you should try to minimize farm-raised fish as they contain higher levels of mercury then wild caught. you can buy cans of wild caught salmon and there's wild caught fish available in almost grocery stores. i tend to eat fish 4x/week, fyi.

hi wantfit, i hope i didn't sound like i was judging! i was just curious because our 16-month old needs his little "ritual" every night to fall asleep too. i actually like it - i read to him, we cuddle, etc - similar to you - so i was wondering what your experience was like. thanks for sharing...

lol!!! you poor thing! i always get red.. this morning i ran 5 miles before work and was still red when i got to the office. we're having a heat wave and the heat always makes me red.

omg you had a quad injury and then got sick?? why are you so hard on yourself, it's not like you suddenly got lazy and stopped working out -- you were injured and sick!!

i get many of the cathe DVD songs stuck in my head and then i have to go look them up.. the one you're asking about is called Ai No Corrida Fantisy (i think the spelling is actually fantasy): http://youtube.com/?v=Tpnb14UJHrk Legs and Glutes is a 51 minute comprehensive lower body workout...

i am enjoying the extended stretch from STS immensely! i do it after my runs now. stretching before & after my running has kept me quite flexible.. i stretch every day.. and i did prenatal yoga every day during my pregnancy and the nurses helping me deliver my son were amazed at how flexible...

i truly think that some folks have really low self-esteem so they resort to being rude to others as a self-defense kinda thing. like they are trying to show how big and bad they are, when really they are in poor shape, bad health and wishing they felt better. it's sad really.

lol this made me laugh. i work in an agency where our department offices are downstairs and everything we need access to (bathrooms, kitchen, fax, copier, etc) is upstairs. on days after meso legs i dread those stairs :)

i don't think any of you are "weenies" or should be compared to 90-yr olds!!! there is a reason why cathe says to do STS 3 days/week and take appropriate rest days -- hello!! there's a reason why you guys are fatiguing and feeling like even cardio is tough. your body needs to recover adequately!

it is NOT embarassing to do pushups on your knees! especially drop sets lol.. what is to be embarrased about? i guarantee the average person you meet on the street can't do any form of pushups, let alone cathe's sets. if you are challenging your pecs, shoulders, and triceps, then who cares if...
