    Not "weighing me down" Stacy! I am sure that I will have some phases coming up where I will need the ears of you guys! :eek: Don't think sharing issues is a downer - that is what these forums are all about. To help! Here when you need me! Donna

    AAHHH! Cranberry Juice! Seems to be helping - or, I will have to go to the doctor! 2nd AAAHHH! Low Impact Circuit DONE! I have a LOVE:)/HATE:mad: relationship with that DVD. It is really tough for me. And, ending with abs just about does me in! Linda - I don't do that bonus cardio so...

    NON-CHECK-IN....March

    Wishing you all a great day! Look forward to hearing about all your adventures. I am trying to prevent a UTI - I have only had one in my lifetime - but, the "feeling" :( is memorable. AARRRGGHHH! My hallway to my bedroom where I work out keeps getting longer and longer (kinda like The...

    Linda - the rotation is what I am AIMING for! Gotta set the bar high. If I achieve 80% - then, success. Thanks for the food comment - I love to cook - it is one of my passions! I believe that is why I gained weight - just food appreciation on my part! :o Stacy - I forgot about your IBS -...

    Rotation Transition from Beginner to Intermediate

    Updated for Week 7 - this set of 4 weeks (week 2 of Cathe Intermediate) will probably adhere to a formula of rotating between cardio/strength days and circuit days. Cardio will range from elliptical, biking, running, kick-boxing, interval step, and regular step. Will see how things go - is...

    Stacy - looks like a tough day - if you get this before dinner - fill up on some fruits and veggies - it looks like your protein and carbs (and sugars ;)) are okay! I find that when I do not get enough sleep and/or I cannot get a good breakfast - I am chasing my calories all the way to bedtime...

    Linda - LIC and PLB legwork can probably be done one day after the other. LIC is more sculpting work with barbell (light weight - I do) and hand weights. It is not too hard in terms of exercises - but, with her cardio/interval - LIC is a toughy! PLB is heavier weight - I really try to be...

    Ladies - Quick Question! I finished Cross Train Express Kickbox (loved it) - I agree with Stacy that it is easier than Kick, Punch, Crunch - but, it is so helpful in learning the moves a little bit slower. It is 35 minutes of kickboxing, 15 minutes of arm weights, 10 minutes of abs, and 5...

    BTW - Linda - thanks for the yogurt "pick-me-up" recipe. I am always looking for things like that. Here is one for you - great breakfast/after workout shake - very high in potassium which helps alleviate/prevent muscle aches. I use mixed berries for a wonderful taste...

    NON-CHECK-IN....March

    Stacy, Been there - although I kept to my calories - yesterday - being the first day of my cycle, my snack calories were as much as one of my meals. So - workout was necessary. Sometimes, I think we are too tough on ourselves. For me, I believe that I got into my weight gain BECAUSE I did...

    Well - another snow in Atlanta - 4 inches at my house. Quite the spectacle! All has melted as we head to 67 degrees for Sunday. Walking and biking are coming into my routines soon! Stacy - I have Ab Hits from Cathe - I will check about those particular ab routines on that DVD - hopefully...

    Linda - Kettleball and traction seem to go hand in hand :D I have a kettleball - tried the initial DVD in the box - got through 2 exercises and hit my head with the crazy thing. My kettleball experience ended there - I use it as a door stopper at this point in time :eek: I will try it again...
