I use Dr. Bronner Sal Suds for almost all my cleaning (floors, walls, dilute for countertop spray, toilets, can even use for laundry and dishes). Highly concentrated and grease cutting, a little goes a long way. It's a more natural product. I buy it by the gallon and it lasts forever.

Shelbysmom4, I am doing STS for the first time too! I chose to do the 5 or 6 month rotation, not sure yet if I will do Meso 3 for 4 wks or 8 wks. I am in the middle of Meso 2. I didn't do the 1RM testing for STS but I have my XTrain 1RMs and have been using them as a guide in choosing my...

Funny, this morning I was doing Legs & Glutes and Cathe and crew were using a barbell for balance doing calf raises and I noticed my bar was rather short. I have a 4' bar and plates (originally my FIL's - antiques:p) and I also have my DH's old EZ bar which is also 4'; both are 25mm. These...

The Superbowl isn't such a big thing for my family this year - the Packers aren't in it! :p - but someone will be watching it. This morning I did Legs & Glutes: Warm-up and Standing Leg Work IMax2: Premix Intervals 1-5

I bought the cookbook Against All Grain by Danielle Walker - thanks for the recommendation Janie! It's has beautiful photography of the finished dish, love this. I've been using it for a few weeks now and it's excellent so far. The author has a website/blog? (againstallgrain.com). I haven't...

Happy belated birthday, ctobin! I'll be turning 49 this week. A few years ago I made the fitness goal of being in the best shape of my life by the time I'm 50! That's pretty vague, but I think I'm getting there. I'm doing something similar to you through Cathe's body building rotation -...

Veronika, congrats for losing that first pound! And good for you for drinking all that water. That's something I really need to get into the habit of doing. Maybe gradually though, I don't like having to go to the bathroom every half hour. I tried for a few days and then quit. :( Now that I...

Yesterday's workout felt soooo good! STS D13 M2 W1 CST I walked around yesterday feeling as if my muscles had a deep massage! Today, DOMS in my shoulders. I was supposed to do 2 Ruthless Workouts this morning but I felt so tired. My 11 yo DD was sick over the weekend, I hope I'm not coming...

Happy Belated Birthday Jen! Hope you had a nice day. Amazon gift cards - nice! - I would've bought DVDs too! I just got Paul Katami's Build and Burn and have a few Kelly Coffey-Meyer on the way (new to me). And yes, a bigger screen is a big plus. Yours is huge. That must be so cool! Jen...

Jen, thanks for the confidence booster. I'll plan on doing Meso 2 for 8 weeks and then decide how long to do Meso 3 when I get there. Your weighed vest sounds wonderful (and heavy, lol). Veronika, your skiing vacations sound like so much fun. It's been so cold here (windchills -25 to -35...

My "clean up" trail is hitting the ski trails! In addition to STS I've been cross-country skiing all week (including Christmas Day) with the beautiful snow that we have. My trail starts just outside my back door off the deck. Next week is active recovery, guess what I'll be doing? I love...

Checking in with To The Max - Fitness Tabata instead of Compound Legs and XC-Skiing I've been getting a nice little DOMS in my thighs from the skiing (hip flexors? and inner thighs especially), love it! It kind of reminds me of when I was doing XTrain/LIS. Using the gliding discs really...
