    Cathe - I'm in the "I'm sick of food" lull, please help!

    I too do the wraps and salads but another option that i like is a can of tuna mixed with lowfat cottage cheese(instead of mayo) with whole wheat crackers. Pair that with some veggies or fruit.

    WM question

    I've decided to start logging my workouts in the WM so I can see how many calories I burn for each w/o. But I can't find where to log my personal info for more accurate results--ie wt, ht etc. I'm sure it's right there in front of my face, but I can't find it. Can anyone help? Thanks.

    The Bachelor Finale!

    One of my friends at work told me she read somewhere online that the whole thing was scripted from the get-go. And both melissa and molly were in on it. Supposedly he knew he wanted molly from the first meeting but the producers made him go though the process. I think it's pretty crappy of...

    Cathe why no pushups in Meso 2 & 3?

    Great idea--warming up with push ups. I think I will follow suit.

    The Bachelor Finale!

    I was hoping for Jillian but now that she's gone I've been leaning towards Molly. Honestly I don't really care for either. Although this "After the Final Rose" show seems interesting. I can't wait to see what goes down.

    STS Check In Disc 7....

    Hi Cathe! I must say that disc 7 has to be my favorite so far. I love all the push ups! I must admit though, I had to drop to my knees for the last 10 on th 30 rep push ups. But that gives me something to strive for next time. I also had trouble keeping myself stable on the elmo push ups...

    Cathe why no pushups in Meso 2 & 3?

    I myself am going to miss doing push ups. I think they are a great upper body exercise. I have noticed quite a bit of improved arm definition after doing them.

    Biggest Loser OUTRAGE--SPOILER!!

    I know I'm a few days behind but I TVo TBL and then watch it while I run on the TM. Anyway--yes Ron should have gone. And what was up with Aubrey voting for Kristen? If she would have voted for Ron at least she would have forced a tie. My thing with that show is most of the people gain a huge...

    clean eating

    Just curious--for all you clean eaters out there, do you eat bread, pasta, etc. at all, even if it is 100% whole wheat? I am a bread person and I try to eat clean but was wondering if this is considered OK. Maybe in moderation? (I don't know if I could cut it out completely.) Just wondering...

    Is anyone doing both sts and cardio on the same day?

    I also do an upper body sts (right now CSB) and cardio on Sundays. My Saturdays are so busy with my kids' sporting activities that I use it as my rest day. But I also squeeze in an extra full body workout each week such as PH or ME b/c I'm used to working my upper body 2x a week. I know some...

    You guys are scaring the crap out of me. I won't be doing disc 7 until Sunday and now I'm not sure if I want to. I'll report back (if I'm able).

    for those of you who have not done 1 rep testing

    ditto singinggoddess---I haven't had any problems at all. I'm going slightly heavier than what I think I can do. I just finished disc 4 today and my weight selections were dead on.

    Just wondering.....

    ....is anyone adding an extra total body workout during their STS week? I feel like I'm not training enough for my upper body during the "endurance" phase. My legs I feel get enough because I usually run for cardio. Don't get me wrong, the STS workouts are killer but I'm used to weight...

    Can I Do 1RM as I go?

    I think you should be fine doing it that way. Whatever works for you. I know Cathe suggests you do 1RM testing, but I think I going to wing it. I haven't received my STS yet so other than what I've seen on you tube I don't know what to expect. But I have been weight training long enough I...
