    Congrats Tom. Just Googled your game so I could sound like a cool kid who follows sports, and saw that KU won! That's your reward for your strong workouts this week! A total body workout for me today. And in other exciting news, trying out our new Dyson vacuum today after our previous 10 year...

    Tom's a new man!!! This is awesome! And dude, as soon as you cut out your March Madness Twizzlers binges, you'll be down to 180 in no time. Congratulations on your benching and the fact that you're feeling good. Karen, I hear you on Winter lack of motivation. I'm hoping in a few weeks it will...

    Are my workouts becoming counterproductive?

    Not a dumb question at all. Signs include, but are not limited to: fatigue; slowed metabolism; decreased performance during workouts; inability to build muscle (which you mentioned is happening to you).

    Are my workouts becoming counterproductive?

    You're welcome! Given your food sensitivities seems like it would be hard to eat the caloric intake needed for you to match your activity level. You can still do the workouts and walks that you love, just shorten them a little to experiment. @Repo has a good suggestion of starting by cutting...

    Are my workouts becoming counterproductive?

    Hi, I can only answer for me and my body, and the answer would be yes. Overtraining. Similar amounts of intensity and length of activity would, for me personally, send my cortisol levels through the roof and disrupt other hormone levels as well. I'd be achy, and overly hungry, constantly sore...

    Karen, I wish I liked riding my spinning bike more than I do. Do you and your DH still ride bikes outside together? Lol on your surprise front yard guests yesterday! That would have freaked me out, but not as much as the raccoon that was inhabiting Tom's workout basement a couple months ago...

    Hilarious, Tom! Hope your real life prison job is nothing like the show. But you'll definitely be able to kick some @$$ with your new hip if necessary lol

    Oh, I believe it! Endless reps with lighter weights can give deadly DOMS. Keep up your gusto, Tom! I did back, tris, shoulders yesterday and took a walk today. Trying also to make time for deep stretching about 3x/week. It feels great when I actually make it happen! Have a great end of the...

    Tom, agreed! Yay Chiefs! During the last 2 minutes, I thought "oh no, Tom must be stressing and cussing at the TV right now!" But they pulled out a win for you! Yep, loved the halftime show. J Lo seriously amazes me. She never ages! Same with Vanna White on Wheel of Fortune lol. Easing my way...

    Giving up on a new Ripped with Hiit from Cathe

    @laurawd I agree with you about Julia. I totally admire HER athleticism, but her workouts are too risky and too extreme for my personal preference. Sydney Cummings is definitely not this way, and very easy to modify to your own desired workout experience to make more advanced or more...

    Tom, sending you McRibs and Twizzlers to help your healing. After all, you gotta stick up on snacks to eat while you watch your team win it all this Sunday! Karen, hello friend. Hope you're not missing FL weather too much. You should've stayed for the Super Bowl! Even if you don't like...
