Workout's done! :) I love the heavy feeling my arms have after working the triceps. I need a shower, and then I need to go through the 400+ pictures I've already taken of the softball games. We've only played six...:rolleyes: (Did I mention I'm a HUGE softball fan?) Have a well hydrated...

Sorry about your injury, Jane. I've been dealing with bad shoulders for a few years now, and it's no fun! I hope you heal quickly! Before I go on...everyone should know that I (and my husband) are HUGE baseball/softball fans. We love our St. Louis Cardinals (although they're not doing so...

Thanks, Jane. :) This morning I did Disc 6 - Legs. Yeah, I know it's out of order for week 3 of Meso 1, but I missed that workout last Friday due to an unexpected call to go to work. A busy weekend followed, blah, blah, blah.:rolleyes: Since yesterday's workout was upper body (Disc 10 -...

Simple, yes…easy, no. At least it’s not easy for me. I invite anyone who needs a nudge (or a swift kick) in the kitchen to join me on this thread. We’ll share workouts, recipes, successes and stumbles, a little humor, and reach our goals by helping each other. A little bit about me: I...

Good afternoon, everyone. I just finished MMA Boxing and I am dripping. I do like that workout more than most cardio workouts. But I much prefer to lift weights. Eunice: I have done multiple rounds of P90X starting in July of 2007. It was instrumental in helping me lose almost 40 pounds...

Good morning. It's nice to see everyone survived the earthquake. :) We had one a few months ago in Missouri and it is a strange sensation. We knew right away what it was when it happened. Yes, I started another round of STS. I'm in the second week of Meso 1 right now. While I was MIA...

Steph: You should be able to lift more total weight with the barbell. Are you taking into account the weight of the bar before you put any plates on it? Did you do your 1 rep max tests? Remember that in Meso 1, you are "only" lifting 60% of your 1 rep max, so some of the weight might seem...

Thanks for the welcome back. I'll pop in when I can. School has begun and I'm busy again. I was called to sub on the second day of school for a teacher who has breast cancer. The school was undergoing a $13 million renovation all of last year and over the summer and it looks amazing...

Today's workout: STS Meso 1; Disc 7: Chest, Shoulders, Biceps. (Love it, love it, love it!) Today's challenge: Clean eating and proper hydration. It's the first day of high school for our youngest. She's had softball practice for the last 2 weeks or so already, and orientation one day...

Sugar: 70 pounds gone. Wow...that's awesome. I've got about 20 to get rid of...again. :mad: My challenge is not the workouts. My challenge is in the kitchen. I like good food, I like bad food, I like my cocktails, although I've sworn off alcohol for the duration of this round of STS, so...

Steph: Wow...40 pushups. Great job! I've been hampered by shoulder issues for the last couple of years (many years for one shoulder, about a year and a half for the other), so I am down to 20 (25 on a good day) from my toes. Then I have to drop to my knees for some of the higher rep days...

Good morning, all. It has been forever since I've been here... Lots of things have happened since I've checked in...some good, some not so good, (not terrible...just little speed bumps along the way), but I am back in control. I've gained some weight due to my lack of self control and...

I would love a daily check-in! I am also in Week 2 of Meso 1. This is my 3rd time doing STS in about a year and a half (I finished my first round in May of 2010) and I love this program. I've been hampered off and on by injuries, but I keep plugging away. Today is AbCircuits (Yoga...

I have thought about all of you a lot over the last several weeks. I haven't read any of your posts since the last time I posted, which was so long ago I can't even remember... I'm doing okay. I finished up STS about 3 weeks ago and then started doing some workouts I put together on my own...

Well, we made it through the winter storm. Just about the time the meteorologists were saying we were going to get hammered, the storm dried up quite a bit. The predicted foot of snow turned out to be about 2" and the high winds never came...at least to our area. Schools are closed today and...

Hello to everyone. We are in the midst of a winter storm warning. Freezing rain fell all day yesterday, sleet all day today and now it's changing to snow. They're saying we could get up to a foot of snow (where I live) overnight and into tomorrow. St. Louis (just 35 miles to the north) is in...

Cheryl: Body for Life is easy to follow. At least I think it is. Like anything else, it's a question of how bad do you want it? It calls for 6 meals a day each consisting of a serving of protein and a serving of carbohydrates. Add vegetables to at least 2 meals a day and you're done. You...

Wow to all of you. First a push up challenge, and now a pull up challenge. Good for you! :) You'll all be doing unassisted pull ups before you know it. I am plugging away. Going on 30 consecutive days without missing a workout (other than resting on Sundays) and 14 days of eating clean...

All of your pull up and push up numbers are impressive! I've had a successful week both in the kitchen and in the workout room. After whining about gaining 2 lbs. last week, I am down 3. I have been eating 6 meals a day consisting of one serving of protein and one serving of carbs, eating...

Hello, ladies. Great job to all of you on your pushups and pullups! I'm not doing a very good job keeping up with all of you. Sometimes I can only check in once a week and then there's so much information here I feel badly if I don't respond to each of you personally. Know that I read...
