Hello ladies! Sorry I haven't posted lately. Life is so busy now. This weekend was so hectic I barely had time to run my 7 miles on Saturday, but I got it done. :) :-) DH & I had a not so pleasant visit with our vet of 7 years on Saturday. We took Chelsea in for the first time so we can...

Heidi - I'm using dumbbells too. A barbell would be a nuissance for me to change constantly. Yesterday I used the following dumbbells for squats: 15, 17.5, 20, 22.5. I use my platemates for the in between weights. However, I need to go up to 25 lbers for my heaviest weight. Hopefully I will...

Good morning Gayle & all who follow. Today I am pleasantly experiencing DOMS in my legs from PLB on my own yesterday. YEAH. I'm still trying to figure out what to do so I can hit 10's with my leg workout. Anyway, today is my HIIT treadmill workout. I'm planning on doing another 5 miler at...

Good morning Cheetah pals! This has to be short. Sorry. I have some nice DOMS in my legs today from doing PLB on my own yesterday. YEAH! However, I need to go heavier in weight. Yesterday I used a pair of 22.5 lb dumbbells for my highest weight when doing squats and calf raises but it...

Heidi - I would be very scared if I were in the same situation and DD had not called. I finished PLB per BFL specifications. However, I didn't reach 10's, only 9's. I'm having a hard time reaching it with the weights I have. The highest poundage I used was 22.5 lb dumbbells so the next...

Jackie - WELCOME home! I wish your vacation had been better, but it sounds like you still had a good time. Laying around the pool and beach sounds heavenly. Wendy - Where are you today? Hi Amy!

Good morning Cheetahs! Last night I got in a 5 mile run on the treadmill with HIIT for 3 miles. I was happy to do more than 4. It was a tough workout. The first and last miles were the warm up and cool down. Today will be PUB on my own during my normal lunch hour. Cathy - Sorry you...

Good morning Gayle! Great job on the PUB! Heidi - Congrats to DD on her paid internship! I hope they are able to make good progress in their research into Progeria. Last night I ran 5 miles on the treadmill with HIIT for 3 miles. It was a tough workout. The first and last miles were...

Hello Cheetahs! Sorry this will need to be short. Today is super busy at work, but I will try to fit in as many personals as I can. Today’s workout will be a 4 mile interval run on the treadmill after the kids are in bed. I plan on watching Dancing with the Stars then too. I won’t be...

Hello fellow BFLers! This is a late check-in for me. Work has been super busy so I wasn’t able to post earlier this morning like I like to do. Well, my first day went okay in some aspects and not so good in others. The bad part was I ate too much candy. D**n Halloween candy. I made DH...

Thanks everyone for your warm welcome. What a great bunch of ladies!

Heidi – The planning part is the easiest part for me. I even plan our supper menu a month at a time. I have for years. For me the hard part comes when I can’t prepare my food for the week ahead of time on the weekend. During the week there isn’t much time after working full time, picking up...

Good morning ladies! Today is supposed to be a beautiful day. I've made the decision to move my workouts to during my lunch time again. Too much going on at night for me to fit them in then on a consistent basis. Truth be told, I feel guilty taking the "me" time when I have so much other...

Good morning ladies! Today is my first official day of BFL. However, I'm not entirely new to BFL/EFL. I have attempted this numerous times in the past 4 years, but I'm hoping this time I will stick it out for the duration of the 12 weeks. I've only made it to week 5 in the past. Last night...
