So pretty! I love it!

Hi, My son was diagnosed with ADHD at 7 years-old by an ADHD specialist. He has the impulsive type, much like what you described as your son. When he was diagnosed, I didn't want to start him on medication, as I've heard so many stories about kids on medication turning "zombie-like". We...

That is SOOO EXCITING! I just love hearing news like this! It brought a tear to my eye! Congrats to you both! :D

Happy Birthday! Have a wonderful day! :D

My son's school takes a lot of professional days, but they build it into the school year. He attends the local Charter school, and his school year is about a week and a half longer than the regular public school. His school also isn't so quick to call a snow day. We live in New England, so we...

I like to think of them as growing pains too! ;) I will definitely consider all that you suggested. I feel as though I take in enough protein, but will do some "actual" comparisons with how much I should take in as to how much I actually do take in. I may need to increase that. I will also...

I'm in my last week of Meso 1, and every week after I do legs (beginning the day after the workout), they hurt until almost a whole week later! I had no idea that my legs were so weak..lol! It's definitely a "workout pain", so I'm not worried that I'm doing anything wrong, but I'm sure hoping...

I LOVE Cathe, and I'm at a point now where I'm successfully able to do her workouts, but I wasn't always able to. Another great beginner instructor is Tami Lee Webb (Buns of Steel, Abs of Steel instructor). Her workouts are fairly quick and they're a great starting point. She is the person...

I'm not a school teacher, but I do have a son who will be entering high school next year, and we've been through tons of fundraisers. The fundraiser that always seems to be the easiest is the candy bar sales. Hersheys has a great one, and everyone seems to want to buy candy bars! I personally...

You both have given great ideas! Thanks! I'm going to print out your replies and take them food shopping with me..lol

I'm soooo bored with my food! I'm doing Weight Watchers and so far I've lost about 24 lbs., but I eat just about the same thing everyday. Every morning, I eat 2 hard boiled egg whites and 1 whole egg, banana, and coffee...B-O-R-I-N-G! I'd like to start eating oatmeal, but I don't know of any...

Well, I did back and triceps last night, and I used the weighted gloves as suggested, and it worked perfectly for me! I'm still fairly new at all of this and can't lift very heavy weights, so at this point I think that was best for me. I will definitely be referring back to this thread on a...

Wow! You all ROCK! Thanks so much for all of the great tips! I think that I'm going to try a few of the different techniques that you all suggested!

Thanks, Debbie! I'm going to also try that, and I'll keep my 8#er close by!

Dela, that is wonderful advice! I do have the weighted gloves but never considered adding those! Thanks so much! And Congrats! It looks like your in the home stretch with your rotation! :)

This morning I started with Meso 1, week 2, and my workout card says that my target weight is 65% of my 1RM. I don't have the exact weights for some of them, but I have the weight that I used in week one, so should I just use the same weight again this week? :confused: I want to get the most...

I've been voting daily (from different computers!) I wish you all the luck!:D

Hi Cathe! I have a question, if you don't mind.. I did my 2nd STS DVD this morning (I wake up at 4 am to do my workouts!) Is my 60% of my 1RM the weight I actually used to do the tests? I am so oblivious to all of this! LOL Thanks so much!

Thanks so much for the replies! They really help to motivate me! I'm determined! :D

Oh Dela, I'm so glad I'm not alone! lol I did them on my knees, too.
