    Good Morning! So far the day has started off pretty well. I am still sore in my chest and triceps from Tuesday and today I am supposed to do legs...yikes! I have done much better on my eating habits the last couple of days so I am hoping when I weigh in this weekend the results will show up...

    Getting out of the rut - Tuesday

    Just got my STS workout in disc 13, my arms feel like jello but other than that I feel great, not sure how my hair is going to look tomorrow, but at least I did my workout! If I can only eat a 'healthy' dinner I may have a chance to salvage the day. Its really great to hear how everyone is...

    Getting out of the rut - Tuesday

    I did get my workout in yesterday afternoon, it was Hiitt 30/30 and medicine ball abs. My eating last night wasn't so good, I finished off the chocolate cake I made for valentine's day. At least the good news is it's gone, so I have no choice but to do better. However, this morning isn't off...

    Need Advice- Work

    I agree with mrsmel, you need to build trust first before you can have that type of discussion. If and when you do, I would recommend "no harm, no foul," rule so everyone can say whats bothering them with out any retaliation from anyone. It will definitely take some work but it can be done!

    Getting out of the rut - New check-in - All are welcome!

    I am in a food rut myself. I do well in getting the workouts in, but my eating habits have always been what has held me back from the weight loss. I have been doing STS and begin Meso 2 this afternoon after I get home from work. Things have been really stressful at work so it is making it...

    Need Advice- Work

    You are certainly in a tough situation. I am a human resources director so I am used to dealing with these types of issues. It is going to take some time to build relationships with them. I would recommend some team building exercises that help to build trust between this group and yourself...

    So what is your favorite hobby?

    I love to cross-stitch also. I too purchase more patterns than I can possibly get to! I trying to hurry to finish a current project so I can start working on x-mas stuff. I enjoy it and it is relaxing. I also have a backlog of projects that I have completed that need to be framed. I have...

    Saving Energy, power strips, etc

    One of the things that I did was plug my tv's and satellite into timers. I set the timer on average for the time that I am going to be in a certain room and the tv automatically kicks on. I have saved on average about $15.00/month on my electricity bill. Most of the overnight hours the tv's...

    need advice

    I am definitely a morning person. But I like your suggestion, if I do sleep in, then I can just do my workout and stay up a little later. I have always tried to get a workout in after work but still go to bed at the same time. Thanks so much for the feedback!!

    need advice

    How do you guys balance time for workouts each day? I typically get up around 4am each morning to workout. (I have to be at work by 7:30a.m.) Most mornings I am successful. But there are mornings when I am just so tired I just can't get up and feel I need sleep. I try to consistently get to...

    Just not losing weight :(

    I am also struggling with the weight loss. Part of the problem that I have is that I don't like fruit or a lot of vegetables. I guess it is a texture issue that becomes a turn off for me. I drink a lot of water all day long, I don't ever drink any sodas. I think I would feel better about...

    Hello!

    legs I did disc 3 this morning, and I felt like I could have used heavier weights however, I am quite sore. I was relieved I made it through the workout, but my "bonus burn" was having to walk up two flights of steps to take a shower since I workout in my basement!!

    building cardio endurance

    Thanks Cathe for the tips! When I do IMAX 2 I just use the step without the risers, don't think I am ready for them quite yet. I think if I try walking around or do another activity instead of stopping that will help me. My tendancy is always wanting to stop. Even though I haven't...

    building cardio endurance

    What is the best way to build up endurance? It seems when I try to do intense cardo, like IMAX 2, there's no way I could do the whole thing at once, I'm lucky to get through half of it and even then I am taking a couple of breaks. I get to breathing so hard I can't catch my breath. I guess I...

    discourged...need advice

    Thanks for your advice. I will check into those things. I seem to be doing a little better by recording what I am eating on the Nutrition page. It is making me a little more aware of what I am eating. I am trying to cut down on the portions and know that I can have a snack later in between...

    discourged...need advice

    Over the last couple of months I have only been working out 3 times a week on average. Prior to that I was working out 5 days a week for at least 1 hour each day. I don't think it is my workouts, I mostly do Cathe DVD's and have recently added walk/run on treadmill. I know my eating habits...
