    Hey there - I added the 3-1/2 month STS rotation (just STS not the other workouts) to my workout calender. For Disc 3 There is a "Josh is dumb" subtitle. Looks like someone did not clean up debugging code. Thanks,

    Attn: people who have done1RMs: HELP!!

    I used my 4DS worksheets to determine what weight to use for 1RM. If I did an exercise using 15 lbs for 4DS, I would do my 1RM for that exercise with 20 lbs. Sometime the weight was too heavy (only got in 6 reps), sometimes too light (got 16 reps), but I just entered the weight and # of reps i...

    B&G DOMS

    My DH also enjoys not quite laughing at me when I am doing the DOMS swing my leg around and delicately place my foot, then a kind of hop forward walk. Then there is the look of terror and deep breath to brace myself when I have to go down stairs. He at least looks away when he smirks (probably...

    B&G DOMS

    Ok, so I did B&G leg blast premix and it has been a little while. :p So 1 day after I am walking around with my butt hurting and 2 days later my quads are sore! I am always glad for the "proof" that I worked hard, but walking hurting for two days is just silly. ;) Anyone else have DOMS kick in...

    Tom Venuto's new book is...

    I do not really like reviewing books before I am finished. I have only finished the first five chapters. But TV really does a great job with giving you tools to help with re-framing and identifying triggers to end emotional eating. I think that some kind of work book as an add on would be...

    What do you do with the junk...?

    As Liann said, FlyLady has a great system and philosophy for helping get rid of junk. Even if you could get $100 for your stuff at a garage sale, how much time would it take to advertise, organize, price, sit out in front of your house? Throw it away or donate it, but do not let yourself...

    Ummm I must be getting older because...........

    I still have my very first washer and dryer and everytime I do laundry I am completely thankful that I get to use my very own instead of having to go to a laundromat. I do not need a roomba since my husband vaccuums :D

    wet vs dry cat food?

    No real advice here, just thought that everyone would enjoy knowing that my cats are smart enough to solve the problem for me :p. My cats move their food bowl next to the water and scoop the dry food into the water bowl let it sit, then scoop it out to eat it. :eek: We have also not found a wet...

    sore calves

    I have a harder time with 4DS than GSL calves. I think it is because 4DS stays so fast. I hurt for days after 4DS.

    Cross Stitch

    I am still not clear if you want to do the project yourself from a pattern or have it done. If you are going to make it yourself, you have gotten some great suggestions already, but please do not underestimate the time that so many words will take. If you want to have it done, you might want...

    Donating blood & your workout

    Another person who is messed up for about a week after giving blood. I can workout the same day, but it is not a good workout. And I know that I will not be able to match any personal bests or improve for a week afterward giving blood. I usually plan a recovery week of lighter endurance...

    Does anyone else NEED snow for Christmas?

    I grew up in the south and have NEVER had snow for Christmas. My whole family used to joke about wondering what a "white Christmas" was supposed to mean. I think 70 degrees is perfect Christmas weather ;)

    Mental blocks when running?

    The next telephone pole/street/10 minutes works great for a while, but when it gets really difficult I actually try to focus on something besides running. How I can rearrange the furniture in my living room to fit my Chrismas tree, dreaming up something romantic I could do for my husband...

    Christmas desserts?

    Lately I have been doing the Chocolate Trifle from allrecipes.com. It is brownies, caramel ice cream topping (see the user comments), I modify the pudding to mix 1/4 cup Irish cream and 1/4 cup water instead of 1/2 a cup water into the pudding mix, then a layer of real whipping cream. To...
