RE: Is Your Kid a >Sophie sometimes watches and says "Mommy, you're not doing >that the way they are". At which point I glower at her.:P My boy says that, too. He loves to say that when I'm modifying. Yeah baby, rub it in. :P But sometimes he gets annoyed. I once did Bootcamp + C&W. I...

Thanks, everybody! A little bird told me to check the Cathe forums. So glad I did. ;-) Shelley, I didn't get anything. Yet. Rex has already gotten me jewelry from his last two trips to Japan earlier this year, so I told him to hold off on the doodads. I don't even wear those. Seriously, I...

Happy birthday, Amy! Enjoy your full size step. :) What's with the fruit and veggies? You know treats have zero calories when you eat them on your birthday, don't you? Have some wine, girl! And a big slice of birthday cake. :P Pinky

<---says hi y'all <---was lurking and saw a couple of birthdays :) <---kinda misses this thread <---thinks Auntie Biotic sounds mean, in a good way ;-) <---should probably get a Tool CD, too <---is tired of listening to The Wiggles and songs from Books Out Loud *sigh* <---is wanting an...

Happy Birthday, Michele! Have a wonderful, blessed birthday. :) Pinky

Happy Birthday, Bam! Have a rockin' day. :) Pinky

I just want to add to what Shonie said about gaining weight. Some of it is water. I've seen the scale go down by two pounds in 24 hours. I know that's water weight. Yes, I do use the scale. :P I know I joke a lot about tossing out the scale but I do use it, just not everyday. Not even every...

Kathleen, that was how I did it in the beginning -- a different cycle every month -- and it worked nicely. I got a feel for Cathe's different workouts as I went along that way. Eventually I started stretching out the cycles, 2 months at a time, until I settled into this groove I'm on now...

I'm not the best person to ask, Cbelle. I'm not good at maintenance. :( I guess in theory, you can. But life does have a way of sneaking up on you when you're not looking. ;-) Pinky

Yeah, it IS a small world. And I get to live near Shonie! :) This is why I wasn't so bent on moving to Frisco last year. Are you kidding? Who's going to kick my butt when I need it? ;-) Pinky

As of this last cycle, I gained 4 lbs. I usually gain a little more. And yeah, it goes mostly around my butt, in my thighs, and a little around my waist -- you know, places where you don't really want the bulk. ;-) Don't be afraid to gain weight when bulking. It's normal to gain some fat with...

Yes, Cbelle... that's just about right. As for CTX-UB split, I use that for both bulking and endurance. When I use that for bulking, I heavy up on the weights and take longer rests. There is no way I can do it at Cathe's pace when I go much heavier. I do less cardio when bulking -- 1-2...

Uh-oh, did I get myself into a hole here? ;-) I don’t follow any rotations. I usually have general guideline, based on Cathe’s older and more recent rotations. I always peek at what she has at the start of every month to see if it gels with what I want to do. If it doesn't, I do a search on...

>So in a 3-6 month period, what sort of rotation would you >suggest to accomplish this "build then lean out" strategy? >also what sort of diet/calories? Cbelle, this is my general outline: Nov-Feb - bulking - 2100-2400 cals. Mar-June - leaning - 1400-1600 cals. July-Oct - maintenance -...

Belated happy birthday! I hope it was wonderful. :) Pinky

Hey there, fiery lady! Happy, happy birthday. I hope all your birthday wishes come true. Have a great day.:) Pinky

Happy birthday, sexy mama! I saw your biceps on your picturetrail and damn! You're lookin' good! :) Have an awesome birthday. Pinky

They're in Shelley's picturetrail, Jes. Pinky
