p.s. I made the crepe/pancakes yesterday. I was SO curious as to how egg whites and protein powder could turn into a crepe. They did! They were SO easy to make and very yummy! These would be a great night time snack. Cathe Friedrich - Protein packed Crepes/Pancakes

Natasha - "Some people scrap-book. I lift weights. Very simple actually." = love it!!! Nancy - you are a machine!! Can you do the entire CCC? That's great!

Hi Everybody! I finally have some time to sit down and catch up with you ladies. I hope I address everybody! Nancy, thanks for sharing the information about Afterburn. I'm with you - a couple of days of eating a lot goes right to the waist for me! How does it get there so fast??? LOL...

Jean, so what does your STS 6-day-a-week schedule look like? I did disc 8 last night and my back is feeling great today! Don't you love waking up in the morning and your body feels stronger than the night before? Today though - I'm not jumping right into a high impact DVD that I haven't...

Happy Friday Ladies! Thanks for all your advice on the order of the discs. I ended up doing legs (#9) on Wednesday and I'll do chest/back today (#8). It felt good to do it this way. I like that I won't have 4 full days in between upper body workouts. Natasha, STS 6 days a week - do you...

Natasha, Yay for DOMS! How fun! So, the fact you started with legs this week reminds me of a question I had. In M1, is it okay to do the legs disk on the day between the upper body disks? Instead of: Mon: chest/shoulders/biceps Wed: back/triceps Fri: legs Could it be: Mon...

Natasha, do tell! How was D13??? And thanks for the link to the dumbbell set. I have something similar by the Cap brand. It is this: Amazon.com: Cap Barbell 40-Pound Dumbbell Set: Sports & Outdoors I do often use the plates on my barbell and it works great. You've got me thinking now - I...

p.s. rhbrand, welcome! Did you start today?

Buneknek, wow I didn't realize you had already done STS two times before. Good for you! Here I am telling you how much you'll love it - you already know that!!! :D So tell me - did STS/Cathe give you those AMAZING arms in your profile picture? ;)

Welcome Amy! I too was SO excited to start STS but I took a full week to do the 1RM's for the entire program. I originally thought it would be such a chore as I JUST wanted to get started. But I made it my strength training workouts for the week and I ended up really enjoying it! Even...

Hi! Great news on starting STS. There are a few of us over in the "STS DEAL of the DAY!!!' thread - we all started within the past month or so. I just finished my 2nd week - so I'm new at it as well. I'm absolutely loving it so far! Feel free to come over to the thread and join us! :D

Toni, I too use iDVD to burn the workouts to DVD. It works just fine. If you're using Windows - search around for a Windows alternative to iDVD - there must be quite a few out there. I was using my downloads on my iPad as well but really missed the big screen on the TV (and like you said -...

Nancy, I too crave muscle so I think I will repeat the last week of M2! How did you like the ab chapter from Butts & Gutts? That's one of my favorite Cathe DVD's -it's filled with good stuff. Funny about your inner toddler! :) It's so encouraging to hear that you are 50. I'm 44 and...

Gina, I would love it if you checked in here! Thanks so much for being here for us. :) Wow, those are some long-lasting chest DOMS' - that's great. How are they today? The BFFM program sounds interesting - I haven't heard of that. Go you! Natasha, funny you should mention protein. I was...

Gina, hi! Thanks for coming over to say hello. I'm only on disk 4 and I'm already getting excited for Meso 2. Sounds like it is quite effective to say the least. :) How were the DOMS today? Yes, please come check in with us regularly. I'll check in as well over on your thread. Nancy, how...

Toni, of course I don't mind you chiming in - the more the merrier! :D I've never had a defined rest day before - I would always just take one when my body asked or my schedule required it so this is new for me. But I like it - it really feels like a reward. Biking is so fun! That's...

Nancy, it is so great to hear you are still loving it 14 disks later. How are the legs today? Hey, what do most people do on their rest day? I was thinking one of the Stretch Max segments. Or is it better to do nothing? I don't really feel like I need to rest (physically) but maybe the...

Isn't it great having a date for when you're going to start??? The build up to it is so fun! :D

RapidBreath, thanks for all your suggestions! Yesterday, I tackled at HiiT 30/30 - that was great! The step warm up in the beginning wasn't horribly difficult. I'm finding I really enjoy HiiT training (I was doing that on the treadmill - with high intensity bursts instead of study running)...

Stacy, thanks so much for checking in! The week was great! Loved it, loved it, loved it! :) STS is everything I hoped for and more. It is such a high-quality program - I'm so thrilled! Cathe is just amazing in it. An I love the variety of exercises. For my cardio in between - I worked...
