I suspect you'll be really happy with the modifications, Lora-Kate - BTW, last night I did legs, about a week after my prior post (when I hit 160 on squats and 140 on deadlifts). And, despite a trip and a root canal and a longer than seven day stretch between heavy Leg workouts, I was at 160 on...

Hi all, Thanks for the good wishes! Yes, root canals will never rate on my list of favorite things, but it could have been so much worse ... I have progressed from having to eat only pureed foods to perhaps being up to scrambled eggs for dinner. It is a good thing I have that high quality...

Hi all, Thanks for the good wishes! Yes, root canals will never rate on my list of favorite things, but it could have been so much worse ... I have progressed from having to eat only pureed foods to perhaps being up to scrambled eggs for dinner. It is a good thing I have that high quality...

Hi all! What an odd week I am having. This morning, I was supposed to be at a local conference, and instead ... an emergency root canal :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: Turns out I have/had a badly cracked tooth. The crack widened to the point it couldn't be ignored, so I skipped the first half...

Hi all, Had to make a 'quick' unscheduled trip - left Sunday afternoon, just got back. My goodness. I needed to get a few biz things back on a positive track that had slipped loose. That's now accomplished, and we all heave a sigh of relief. It is nice to be back home! One advantage of being...

Hi all! Janie, everyone, sorry to drop off the planet! I sort of forgot I had a trip this week ... it was a short one. Actually, to be perfectly honest, I was in denial about the trip. Also, it turns out that giving me a real true vacation day is a bad idea. That vacation day I took last...

I'm enjoying experimenting with STS this time around, playing with workout intensity, strength gains, and workout length ... these dvds are so versatile it is easy to do, and very motivating! The first time through I did the rotations exactly as planned, and that was good, but I've learned that...

Hi all, just a quickie post today on workouts! Perhaps more later ... we've been out a little more than usual and it is cutting into my internet time ... but I wanted to share my new PRs with STS :) Workouts have been going well - I'm starting to feel more like myself again :D. Yesterday, I...

Hi Laura, I don't know about the world in general, but for me, my departed four legged children are always with me to some extent. The balance between happy memories and grieving for the loss tends to shift over time, but I'll confess, I had posted a picture of my Robin who died two years ago...

How about Drill Max? Haven't done it for awhile, but I don't think you really need the step. I've done Cardio Kicks and while I like it, it's not as intense as the 4DS kickbox or Kick Max.

Great idea!!! I'm in, too.

Hi all, Sounds like we are by and large getting Memorial Day weekend off to an enjoyable start! Our weather is still on and off rainy/cold here, but it honestly doesn't matter, I'm so glad to be back :D I have been doing fun tasks that I'd been putting off for weeks - our new garden...

You too! I have been travelling too much, and am finally home for ten whole precious days ... I've got plans for fun workouts (Meso 3! Love it!), hikes, gardening, and general relaxation! And, too, time to be spent remembering why we have Memorial Day, a solemn and proud and sad thing.

Good morning all! The long travel-every-week period is over, for now at any rate. At least it better be :eek: I'm ready to be home for awhile, and perhaps even to enjoy a long weekend with not so much work, if I can get caught up in the next day or two :D I returned a little after midnight, from...

Hi all, I'm enjoying the weekend home :) It was very cold yesterday, so we had the unexpected bonus of a nice fire in the fireplace, and grilled steaks on top of it. Yum! Also, I realized midday that I'd been saving STS Meso 3 for the end of this travel ... and most of the travel is over...

I entirely agree with you, Tami! I love the STS music - now that I'm going through it for the second time, it only takes a bars of the introduction to get me moving and ready to focus. I've gotten in the habit of starting the dvd before I change to my workout clothing, just to get in the mood...

Hi all! The long sequence of travel is nearly over ... and the most challenging trip is just now over. I have a shorter one on Tuesday, and then a two day in June. Hurray! Right now I need to go clean up for dinner. It is fun to be home :eek:

Ditto the above for me - I have had the 9 tray Excaliber for several years now, and it is very easy to use. It does take up a fair amount of counter space, so after the first year I've begun putting it away during the winter/spring and then pulling it out in the summer/fall, when our garden is...

Michelle, I am with Renee - after reading about Janet I'm rather stopped on what to post. I saw your note last night. Really, it stopped me in my own tracks too. Janet sounds like my own closest friends - popular, bet she's successful, loving spouse, terrific family, the kidn of person...

Great post! You'd be welcomed if you wanted to join us over on our check in group, Getting Our Licks In, by the way - we're helping each other with our fitness and other goals. Or, there may be other teams here you'd enjoy. You can't beat a team for helping maintain energy and accountability!
