Hey Pinky, Just a word, if you do floor work, be careful with ankle weights. And if you do the PS floorwork, watchout for that bar - I know if I'm not strong I use my knee joint to lift in that one... -joy

Well, that's kind of what I was wondering about. Thanks. May I pass you're name on to Wayne? -j

Oh yes, gone the way of Karen V, or Tracy or Jen or... You crack me up Kathy S. BTW, its all good to me LOL LOL LOL (laughing at myself here ;) ;) ;) ) -joy

Donna, thanks, Whoa, candida issues...that is what I was trying to think of with Wayne (icklemoley sp?) I guess that is off this topic though, but I was wondering if his health issues were a male version of that (I'm really pretty ignorant here) Guess I better formulate a question and ask it...

Wow I'm glad you posted this. It is similar to a question I asked on the other sugar thread. Please sugar free people - give some advice. I will answer MHO on the artificial sweetener thing. (this is based on my personal experience when I was essentially sugar free for 2 years) I believe...

Hello everyone, A quick reply here. No workout today. Just felt like crap. Could this be a cumulative sugar hangover? I read the sugar post and was hoping there would be more discussion. Lori, I'm (once again) coming to the conclusion that I just can't have any dessert. Whatever reason...

Well Hello everybody, (now say it to yourself like Grover from Sesame Street would say it) Today was my day off. So I stretched. First AM Yoga to wake me up (it was 5 am) and then Karen Voight Yoga Stretch (from the Yoga focus dvd.) They felt good. My funky right hip/groin/inner thigh...

You know, Mogambo, I wouldn't argue the point of two weeks v 4 days physical cravings for cigs. That length of time (to me) is still very minor to the psych thing. I don't remember when I quit for the third or fourth time - sometime in the mid 80's - but until a few years ago I would regularly...

Hello all, I've been reading this with great interest. I have been struggling with this sugar/desserts thing after falling off the wagon a while ago (like more than a year) I am currently 'in the gutter' when it comes to indulging my sweet tooth. I agree with Mogambo 100% about the length...

Interesting discussion. I am reminded of the words of a co-worker who has four children. She said, "I wouldn't sell any one of them for a million dollars and I wouldn't give you a plug nickel for another" -joy

Good morning all, First business. I did Strength, Balance and Flexibility today (Christie Taylor) I felt the need for something different. I really concentrated and I got it this time. It is harder than it seems, when you pay attention and give it your all. I used 5# dumbbells throughout...

Sabine, This rotation is just right for me. I'm hoping to begin on March 1. I will probably swap the imax and step workouts in the first week and I may take your suggestion and incorporate legs & glutes! Thanks, -joy

Good Morning, Well, Tracy, I don't envy the move thing, but I guess you really have to consider everything in this situation. I think it is the old thing about breaking up that huge task in to little acheivable jobs... Oh, I think Sabine posted her rotation on the rotation forum. I've been...

Elizabeth, OF COURSE keep checking in here. Oh heaven's you don't have to be working out to check in!! I'm sure we don't think this will be the Sabine rotation check-in. It can be the "do your own thing or nothing check-in" :) :) -joy

Hello everybody, Well I did some catch up reading from the weekend check-in. Yep Saturday was the PO'd at husband day. Sabine, I can't tell you how many times I wished I was single. I definately have some personality flaw that makes me need someone to feel worthwhile. I have one daughter...

Thanks Melanie, Your answer is just fine. I have a feeling that the same thing works for making the lower body smaller as for making it more curvey because the goal really is the same building and defining muscle.:7 -joy

Hi Melissa, Sorry to but in here but I can answer your question about imax 2. Yes it is all cardio but it is intervals. You warm up, then do a step routine for a couple of minutes then a blast for a minute or so then a slower paced recovery for 30-60 secs or so. Repeat for a total of ten...

Oh My I bet they do sneak up on ya and slam ya in the back of the head LOL -j ps see you Monday

Hello Mari, Today I did Muscle Endurance and ugh I had a rough time. I did go a little heavier on many exercises. For example, I totally fried my bi's with 25# bb. Used 30# and I made it through all of the static lunges :) I won't talk about the ab work because it was pitifulx( -joy

Shywolf, I just have to ask, what is in a 'grateful dead' drink? -joy
