    STS first time!

    I agree it is too hot all of a sudden. I was sweating this morning doing GS B, Sh, & Bis. I know I need to stretch more, I just can't figure it all out. My first PT had me stretching my hamstrings but I did not improve, and this one says do quick dynamic stretches, which seemed to help. But...

    STS first time!

    What a gorgeous warm day, but so windy! I went for a quick walk at lunch but stuff was blowing everywhere. And I did LL&A this morning. And now in addition to my hamstring bothering me, my right hip is bothering me. It is so tight, I don't know what is going on. And I couldn't get another pt...

    STS first time!

    Hello Everyone! I did GS Ch&Tris this morning. I think after this week it is time to move on from Gym styles. What a beautiful day! I had to be up early to get dds to volleyball and softball, and dd has a track meet this afternoon so I will be there. It will be good to be outside and...

    STS first time!

    Thank you Tom and ladies for your support. Turns out dd was coming down with a stomach bug but we did not know it and her levels spiked higher than we have ever seen. We worked with Joslin to adjust everything and things look good now except she just isn't feeling well, but her diabetes is...

    tslop49, thank you so much for your words of encouragement! Something changed in the past couple of days and we are having a tough time managing her levels well. It certainly is challenging, and we are not even 4 months into this. But I am glad to hear that your ds is managing well, that is...

    STS first time!

    Hello ladies, I have been sticking with Gym Styles (upper only), so today will be GS B,Sh, bis. I know we are supposed to increase our weights each week but I don't think I can do it with GS, it is tough as it is. Carolyn I enjoy reading articles like that and I think it is true. I used to...

    STS first time!

    Hello ladies! Busy busy! Had a nice visit with my sister although the weather was yucky! Tried to squeeze in some short workouts while she was here but did not stress about it. I have been so careful with driving but last night ran over a deep pot hole and got a flat tire. Luckily I was...

    STS first time!

    Hi ladies! My sis is visiting us for the weekend so trying to spend time with her along with all the usual stuff we do. We got in a nice walk yesterday and also poked around some stores downtown. DD has a volleyball tournament today but luckily it is in NH so I will bring her up this morning...

    Colleen it looks like you got more information about dd. Does it look to be celiac? How do you manage that?

    STS first time!

    Just got back from a quick walk, boy it is windy out there. Even so, it felt great to get some fresh air. I did LL&A this morning as well, but I can't do the compound section so it is very short. I wish the chair section was longer. My PT appt. yesterday was really good, she gives my...

    STS first time!

    Good morning! Haven't been able to shake my cold. I put in GS Ch&tris this morning and barely got through the Chest exercises. I will try to get tris done tonight. Missy, we are still having winter temps and I can't wait for spring, but that is also when my allergies kick in. But I so want...

    STS first time!

    Woohoo Missy! Congratulations! Colleen, good luck with the house and moving. I dread the thought of ever moving again, we have been here for 20 years and have accumulated so much stuff. DH is a pack rat. Betty, my sis uses Latisse and I noticed how much thicker her lashes were the last time...

    STS first time!

    Carolyn, yes, I woke up sore all over today! Upper from GS, and lower from PT appt yesterday. Hamstrings are sore but not painful, so that's a good sign. I think I am on the right track. I am on Nia's email list as well and I found her latest refreshing. I liked how she said we don't need...

    STS first time!

    Jean I just did that workout yesterday and I woke up so sore today! My shoulders are really sore, which must be from all those pushups. I did them all but on my knees, and I had done STS before this which didn't have many pushups in M2&M3. I agree, this is one tough workout! Betty, instead...

    STS first time!

    I just got back from my first PT appt. Dare I say I feel better? She did a quick eval and said my hips have already started leveling out, apparently I have been overcompensating for the pain and it has eased up now that she told me to stop holding my stretches. Anyway, she used some tools...

    STS first time!

    Good morning! This morning I did GS Ch&tris - that one always slays me! It amazes me how hard GS is, especially after doing STS. Marie, great picture! Enjoy your cuddle time. And don't feel guilty about skipping your workout this morning. Betty, I enjoy greek yogurt but now that I am...

    STS first time!

    Carolyn, sounds like you had a great time (except the knee part of course). A couple of years ago we had a work outing to tubing place in Amesbury, and 4 of us held our tubes together as we went down. Lots of fun! I did GS B-Sh-Bis this morning. I think this is my favorite weight workout...

    Missy, your hair looks so pretty! Very flattering. I took a rest day today, this week has been tough with the time change. Happy Friday everyone!

    STS first time!

    Good morning, it is winter again! Seems like it will never end! This morning I did random leg exercised from XT Legs - I still cannot do squats and lunges. I was researching hamstring issues on the internet and I read about a procedure some PTs use, so I searched for it and found a PT not too...

    Missy, you live in a beautiful area! And Marie, I can't believe how big B has gotten! I am jealous of your beach time!
