Thanks for the well wishes for DD. She is over the moon! She is also relaxing a bit, which is fine, but I told her she has to find scholarships and apply. I myself can't believe it is all decided, but I am glad we don't have to look at any more schools. Carolyn, I was thinking of her this...

Hi ladies! Popping in before it gets too crazy here. I took a rest day today, I did Chest from STS #19 yesterday. I combined it with my PT exercises, which take a while to get through. Good news - dd got into Brown! She was so excited and relieved! Of course, thinking about paying for it...

Hello! I am sneaking in at work - been super busy! The Christmas party was fun, it was at the Marriott in Boston. They had food and set up gambling tables and gave us play money for chips. I was wiped out on Sunday though. I did LL&A this morning, I feel like my core has gotten really weak...

When I made those chocolate crinkle cookies, they were delicious! They did not last in my house.

Hello everyone! Lots of running around today. I also did STS #19, but only Chest and Shoulders, I ran out of time! I'll have to do tris another time. It was so pretty this morning, we had a light dusting of snow. Missy, thanks for the exercises. My PT has me doing 2 of those, plus...

Jean, from what I understand, Nia's program is all on paper, no downloads, so you could use your own music. How do you get on her email list?

Carolyn, {{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}} I got Low Impact Circuit yesterday so did a bit of it this morning, it was fun! Another PT appt later, wish I had taken the day off.

Betty, you are taking piano lessons? How exciting! Have you taken them before? I didn't know what kind of dr. to go to for my hamstrings, so I researched on the internet and people seemed to go to orthos. But this guy can not get it out of his head that I have a spine issue. I don't think I...

I had another PT appt today. It wasn't as good as the first (massage-wise) but she gave me some more exercises to do so I have to tell myself it gets me closer to my goal. I told her about the dr. wanting to do an mri of my pelvis and she just said 'I wonder what he is thinking there'. I had...

I apologize in advance but I need to rant. I went back to the ortho today with my MRI disk, and he looked at it and didn't see anything wrong. When I had my first appt. I told him my hamstrings were painful, and he thought it was my spine or a pinched nerve, so apparently the MRI he ordered...

I have High Reps and STS TB, but hardly ever do either one. High Reps is exactly that, low weights with endless reps. I like STS TB better, it uses heavier weights and more compound movements with emphasis on lower body, but it still moves more quickly than I like. Betty oldest dd can drive...

Good morning! I did portions of LL&A this morning. I am supposed to be very careful with lower body workouts, my PT does not even want me to do fast walking :( I was lazy yesterday, I think it was the weather. I actually headed out to the mall to do some shopping, but it all looked like too...

Hi ladies! We had a very nice Thanksgiving at my brother's. Dinner came out good, and we were all stuffed. I think the thing I like about going away is I can't see all the clutter on my counter and all the stuff I have to do! It was very cold and windy there though, I did not walk much...

I just finished STS #15, back and bis. I wish I had a pullup bar, the bands just don't feel like enough back work. I added on STS yoga abs, but I didn't really feel that one either. Can anyone do a levitation hold? What is the secret? I took today off, have a million things to do. This...

My cardio endurance is not as good as it used to be either, I have only been doing strength workouts and walking. If my hamstrings ever get back to normal I will return to it. I had another PT appt this morning. Because it is so busy I had a fill-in person, but she was really good too. We...

Hello Everyone! I haven't had time to read all the posts, you all have been busy! I got back Thurs. night and I have been trying to catch up ever since. I can't believe it is Thanksgiving already. We are going to my brother's place at the Cape but I have to get all the food and bring...

Busy day packing, laundry, and DH's birthday. We're going out to dinner and making it an early night, I have an early flight in the morning. Carolyn, that part-time job sounds perfect for you. It would be a great way to ease back in and do something you love. I understand about wanting to...

I am not in the Christmas spirit yet either. I have been in the mall and Christmas music is playing and I just want to get out, it is too early! I did LL&A this morning. Wish I could get back to doing cardio but everything seems to aggravate my hamstring issue - I feel like it is getting...

Rest day for me today, much needed. We lost the volleyball game last night, the other team was very very strong and we could not afford any mistakes. DD is ok with it so all is good. Betty, I hope you are feeling better this morning. Carolyn, sounds like you had fun with your friend, but...

Yes Betty, go to Dr., no reason to suffer any more! I used to get those all the time, but I haven't had one in a while. Carolyn, hope ds' poison ivy is better, that stinks. I did STS #10 this morning, I want to wrap up M1 before I go away next week. I am looking forward to moving on, way too...
