I, too, am voting for premixes!

My issue with this bill is that it seems designed to provide an extra layer of bureaucracy in a system that already is supposed to have food protections in place but can't seem to enforce those protections. What good is another agency going to be if that agency doesn't enforce the rules? I...

Regarding the extra equipment, I think that all depends on what you have. I have all of Cathe's workouts, so I have all of the equipment that is needed for her workouts. So the only thing I really needed to buy was resistance tubing for the chin-up/pull-up option. But I had the ankle/wrist...

When I first looked at the workout cards, I thought the recommendations at ALL levels would be too much for me but, fortunately, I've actually been able to lift the recommended weight (so far!) But I think you are being very smart by reducing your weight if you don't think you can lift the...

I've been reading posts about how people are responding physically to STS, but it is hard for me to look in the mirror and say 'Oh, I see more muscle' because part of me thinks that I'm just looking for more muscle. So last night I decided to ask my husband if he has seen any noticeable...

I'm not at all bothered by people eating the food put in front of them at a restaurant. That's why they are there, so I don't judge people for eating what they've come for (even obese people). It isn't as if restaurant nutritional information is easily available (by that I mean it isn't on the...

A couple of months ago, I saw Bob Harper and Jillian Michaels (from The Biggest Loser) on Larry King. Somebody called in with a question about whether they needed to count their calories forever, and Bob answered 'Yes'. To that, he added that the reason people need to count their calories is...

Hi everybody! I'm on my third week of the six month rotation and completed Disc 6 for the first time today. Yowza! My legs feel really shaky right about now. I'm actually going to be doing the first two mesocycles in 7 weeks instead of 8 because of vacation/work schedules. My plan was to...

Now that's what I call a workout!! I really enjoyed Disk 6...in a sick kind of way. It was tough for me. Much tougher than Disc 3. There were some pluses here. The paper plate exercises are becoming much more manageable, and I was much better at doing the wall squats with the weights this...

I completed my first round of Disk#5 this morning (I'm on the six month rotation). The time really flew by for me. After I finished the drop-sets, I was thinking 'That wasn't so bad'....and then I picked up a pen to record my weights. My arms were really shaking! Even now, about four hours...

I'm doing the six month rotation, and I've modified Cathe's recommendations a bit (and would have even if I were doing the three month rotation). In coming up with my rotation, I did look at the type of cardio she was going for in her recommendations (for instance, kickboxing, steady-state...

I did Disk #3 today for the second time (I'm in my second week of the six month rotation). For the most part, it went much better for me than it did last week. I'm still struggling a little bit on getting the weights up during the first set of paper plate lunges, but I did much better this...

I'm doing the six month rotation. I started last week. After the leg workout (Disk 3) on Friday, I knew I had made the right decision to do the six month rotation so I can repeat the weeks. Not only will it allow me time to work on my form (especially on some of the leg moves), but it will...

Very sadly, I'm not at all surprised by a 13-year-old boy becoming a father. I really think the story is being highlighted simply because he looks so young because, quite honestly, I think there are plenty of 13-year-old parents out there these days. I've been out of high school for 25 years...

I've read 42--and enjoyed all of them at least in part. Some I read for school, but many I've read simply because I wanted to. I have a few more on my bookshelves just waiting for me to get around to them. My favorite on the list would probably be 'A Prayer for Owen Meany' by John Irving...

I just finished week 1 and am planning on doing the six month rotation. I am not sore, but I feel like I challenged myself during the workouts. Doing the 1RM tests helped. After I did the workouts, my muscles felt fatigued throughout the remainder of the day, but they weren't sore. The...

I'm really enjoying what I've done so far. I started on Monday with a 6 1/2 month rotation. What I've enjoyed about the two STS Disks I've done so far is that the workout sheets with the calculations based on my 1RM are actually making me reach for a weight I normally wouldn't reach for. So...

I drive a 2007 Toyota RAV4. I owned a Honda Civic before this and absolutely loved everything about the car to the point that I never thought I'd drive anything but a Honda. However, back in 2006, my husband and I were living in Germany (he is in the AF) and we were given an assignment to...

Just wanted to post an agreement to what others here have said. My husband is in the military, and I've been a part of the military life as his wife for nearly 19 years. The son you know that is going into Basic Training is going to be a different young man when he comes out. And I think it is...

I don't know how to answer your question. However, I'll explain my rationale for doing the six month rotation and why I think it will benefit me more right now. When I am unsure of a move or concerned about it due to previous injuries (I've had both back and shoulder injuries, both of which...
