    Wow Gloria, I've never done Bootcamp, I figure it would be too hard for me. Then again I did MIC from start to finish today, so I feel like I can do anything now!! LOL! }( Speaking of no donuts allowed, I'm going away on a women's getaway thing that our church is doing and believe me, I'm...

    Well I did MIC right before lunch, and I gotta say towards the end I had visions of posting things like "Cathe is CRAZY!!!" I had no idea, I mean yes I'd heard it was tough, but during it I thought surely the end is near, but it wasn't!!!! I wrote in my workout journal that it was the toughest...

    Has anyone tried Quinoa?

    We LOVE quinoa, and use it as an alternative to brown rice when we crave a change. Just make sure you rinse it for I think 3 minutes in cold water, otherwise it won't taste good. I had a friend who didn't rinse it very much and totally regretted it. Makes me want to go and buy some, I just...

    Oh gracious Wendy, I was thinking about Lori this morning too. Someone find out how she's doing??!! I can relate to the waking up feeling lean and weighing a little more, and then feeling kind of not so lean and weighing less...weird! Heidi

    Daily calorie allowance with or without factoring in wo...

    Hi all. I've been pondering the question of whether or not I should use my TDEE that just takes into account my lifestyle WITHOUT workouts. You see I use DietPower software and you can track your workouts which in turn adds those calories burned to your daily calorie allowance, a very nice...

    Good to see you back here Gayle! Too bad about that cold, that's a bummer. What a great workout you got in today! I'll definately let you know how MIC goes. I've heard to make it more doable you should do the hi/lo last....but I only have the VHS copy so I'll have to do it as is! :o :-)...

    Good morning ladies. I'm tired this morning, I'm sitting here drinking a green tea and trying to come alive! ;) Today was supposed to be Step Fit but I've been encouraged by Marla (aka smoogy) to try and do MIC. I'd love to see if I actually can live through it, so that's my mission today...

    Thanks Wendy. You know, I've never really done the Gym Styles long enough to experience what most everyone else experiences with them. I fell off the exercise wagon shortly after I bought them! So I'm really excited to see what happens. S&H has never let me down for gaining muscle. By...

    Hi everyone! Today I did Body Max for the very first time and I didn't know it was 90 minutes long!! I started my workout late anyways, sort of after lunch and I think I came up from the basement around 2pm! My son said I was down there for almost 2 hours! Anyways, I did love the workout, I...

    Karen I'm so impressed with your pushups. I had to do some today and I have to do them on my knees and since I haven't been focusing on strength, I won't say how many I can do, 'cause it ain't anywhere near 72!!!! LOL! Sunnyd, good going on doing your workout even though you were tired...

    Eating on a schedule

    I do pretty much exactly as Dianna does, as per Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle, except my meals get a little smaller as the day goes on, ending with about a 200-250 calorie meal. I have about 5 balanced meals, about 3 hours apart, but end with a before bed snack. It definitely helps with...

    Workout Preferences

    I'm so glad you gave "Love it all" as an option because I could NOT have chosen one method of working out. Okay, I kind of prefer weight training but I have of late grown to love the other methods too because they are so darn good for really changing your body. Each method gives you a kind of...

    Benefits of Food Journaling?

    I use DietPower for tracking calories, and macronutrients and I find that it keeps me very aware of how I'm doing as far as keeping things balanced. The more balanced I eat, the more my energy levels stay constant. Plus of course it keeps me from eating over the amount that my body can burn in...

    Are you scared to...

    Great question. I myself love telling people my age (which in about 3 weeks will be 39), because I get to hear people say that oh my gosh, I thought you were like 32, or gee I didn't know you were my age??? My mom always looked really young, even in her 40's people thought she was my older...

    Hi Gloria!! Boy, I thought I'd have more posts to read than this, but I'm glad you started today's check-in. Uh, I made the "mistake" of making a Rhubarb Custard Cake last night. I had never tried it before, and we have rhubarb and well I was curious to see how it would turn out. I had 1...
