I just bought/tried quinoa for the first time last week. I'll be sure to give some of these a try. Thanks for sharing. Lisa

We enjoyed a nice dinner out on Saturday evening with some friends. While I enjoyed some wine and bread, I did pass on dessert. Plus I brought some leftovers home. Wednesday is my weigh-in day, so will see then if I truly over-indulged. I didn't get a workout done yesterday. We took our...

Today I planned to do UY Yin Yoga. I had only done this one once before and felt I needed to add a warm-up before doing the workout again. The intent is deep stretching and the poses are held for longer periods of time. Thought I'd warm-up with some spinning. Rather than throw a DVD in...

For those of you who like the Asics Gel Intensity, I recd this reply from Asics Support: If you liked the Gel-Intensity, you may want to try the Gel-Synthesis or the Gel-Craze

Five days of good eating - minus two days of not = zero results for the week. ;) Sharing it from BFFM just in time for the weekend! Lisa

Yesterday I did one of Cathe's Pedal Power premixes, UY HarcCore and then I pulled out Stretch Max and did the band stretch. Today is UY Gentle Yoga and skiing this evening. Anyone have any plans for the weekend? Super Bowl parties? I'm in Western PA, so we only get excited about the...

Justine, as you pyramid down through STS, are you decreasing, accordingly, the amount of weight you lift? If so, then you end with the same amount you started with? I'm thinking it's the same concept as Upper Body Pyramid but on a longer scale. Maybe I'm overlooking something. I am...

Not Cathe (obviously) Missy, but you don't talk about your eating habits. I am diligent about working out and usually follow one of Cathe's rotations, so I continue to mix things up. However, I'll be the first one to admit that I'm not the cleanest eater and get frustrated when I don't see...

I did CrossFire today so that kicked things up a few notches! I must be doing something correctly so far this year. Wednesday is my weigh-in day and I'm down almost 4 pounds since xmas. As much as I hate to admit it, there's something to be said for clean eating. I know our check-in title...

I like Asics Gel Intensity for HIIT. I've had the original and GI2. I'm not seeing any new styles of this shoe though. Lisa

Hope you're feeling better Diane. Today I did spinning and Bob Harper's Yoga abs (from Yoga Warrior). Between doing UY HardCore last night and this one today, I hope no one makes me laugh or that I have to sneeze tomorrow. I'm sure I'm going to feel it. :eek: IMHO, they are both really...

Yesterday I shoveled snow, then last evening did UY Mtn. Sequence & HardCore. While Mtn. Sequence is an easy routine, slowing down is a real challenge for me. Did anyone else have problems with their DVDs from UY? About half of mine wouldn't play and I had to have them replaced. They were...

Good evening ladies. I didn't get all the planned workouts for this week completed. I have at least a spinning premix to do and UY HardCore Abs. Not too bad considering traveling and just a horrible work week. I did UY Detox and it was very timely do to today. I hope it cleanses all the...

Taking a few minutes to check in and say Hi! It's been a very hectic week at work, then to top it off, my DSL was down most of the morning. I didn't get to work out Wed or Thurs, but found time this morning to do disc 11. I'll probably finish this week 1 day late. I still need to do spinning...

Welcome Diane! We're a small group, but mighty in strength (thanks to STS). Sitting in a hotel in Philly hoping that I'll get home tmrw. Snow storm seems to have crippled this city and all flights out tonight were cancelled. The hotel has yoga mats in the room. Lucky for me as I had UY...

I'm pretty sure Pay it Forward is simply taking the time to do something nice for someone. Pay for someone's coffee or meal. It may be tied with Martin Luther King Day, not 100% sure. Going to visit a co-worker tomorrow who recently had a baby. Each of us made a dinner for her freezer, so I...

Happy anniversary and enjoy your night out! My husband and I will celebrate 19 yrs in July. For our 20th we're hoping to go on an Alaskan cruise. Went skiing last evening with my nephew. I only live about 15 miles from the ski resort. It started to snow while we were there, but I didn't...

In addition to IM2, the step workouts I enjoy the most are BM2, Low Max & Cross Train Express. I'll have to check out the yoga site...thanks for sharing. Supercuts on the 'to do' list for today. Will do spinning & STS Legs tmrw since I ski this evening. Happy Friday! Lisa

IM3 is my least favorite of the 3. I turn to IM2 most often. I love the music and the moves don't seem as complicated. I'm not a fan of dancy stepping. I haven't even attempted to do PR1 yet. I LOVE the metabolic workouts, so TTM, CF, Afterburn, Athletic Training are my go to workouts! I'm...

I did Bob Harper's Yoga Warrior on Sunday. That is one of my favorite yoga DVDs. I have all the DVDs from that series (don't recall name of it), but find it hard to steer away from Cathe for too long. Heck, I'm even having trouble staying away from the newer workouts while doing STS. It's a...
