    Crazy strong and loving it for March 20, 2010

    Morning! I just had to say hi to Belinda and Wendy- thanks for the comments last night. :D Wendy: Have SO much fun at the RT! I really enjoyed meeting Cathe- she is such a sweet person and is even prettier in person. I never do those premixes either and I should- I love 4DS. Belinda: I...

    Heather: Well, I'd say you found a more than adequate rotation replacement buddy! :D Glad you had fun with it- that rotation does sound cool. Good idea to just use the print outs, too. I bought the Women's Health Big Book of Exercises not too long ago and there are a few great ideas/workout...

    Hi Heather! What cool rotation were you doing? UB strength gains sound interesting...and I miss rotations with you too. I went off DVDs for a few months and really enjoyed just blasting music and going at my own pace, especially for lower body. I just squat slower than Cathe. :)

    Friday Fun!

    Hi Cathe! So good to see you on here. DH and I are getting ready to start STS again in a few weeks- I'm excited to include all of the new Shock Cardio in there too. :) Hope you have a great weekend! I'm taking DD to ballet (she is four and way too cute in her leotard) and DS to swim...

    MMA Fusion - And I laughed and laughed :)

    These posts made me feel so much better! I thought this was one tough workout! I was laughing during the triangle choke holds because I could NOT keep up with Cathe- I yelled at her to wait but she just kept going. :) This was a terrific workout, even though I felt like a total nerd while I...

    Which of the KB workouts are the hardest?

    I LOVE the Boxing workout- much tougher than it looks on preview and my HR really stays up there. I did the heavy bag portion yesterday and it really got me. :) Like Laura, I don't use markers for the lower body drills so I just shuffle in place to keep my HR going. I also think Fusion is...

    Hi girls! I have MISSED you guys! I had to really cut back on my computer time. I felt like I wasn't spending enough time with the kids and stuff that needed to be done around the house. Things are good. I did take a 2 week break last month and it was kind of nice. I gained a few pounds...

    Hi girls! I have missed you guys! I had to really cut back on my computer time. I felt like I wasn't spending enough time with the kids and stuff that needed to be done around the house. Urgh. Anyway, just thought I would pop on and say hi and get some inspiration. :) Things are good...

    Give me some complex carb recommendations

    Laura: OK, I'll try to stop finding my highest carb recipes and posting them. :p I think I'm just deliriously happy for you- carbs are gooooood.

    Give me some complex carb recommendations

    The carbs in this might make your head explode- it's from the Eating Clean Tosca Reno cookbook, which is OK but not great. I use a few recipes from it, though. I will admit that even as a carb eater, I don't eat this all the time. It's good, though, and nice to make once and eat all week...

    Give me some complex carb recommendations

    Laura: That soup serves 5 in my opinion, 4 if you are really hungry. I just scoop out our dinner and then put the rest in individual tupperware containers so I don't over eat it. How about raw steel oats? I soak them overnight in almond milk- twice as much liquid as oats. I add a box of my...

    Hardcore Fitness Maniac Hotties for 8/26

    Char: Asshats, most of them! :D Linda: LOVE the DD pictures- don't you love that you are teaching your daughter how exercise is a fun, healthy activity? I always let Mags come downstairs and do the stretch with me and she loves it. I have a mat that goes on top of my step and never use it...

    Nina: I find it ironic that fresh fish is expensive in Florida! That's not fair! I'm sorry about the impending divorce- hopefully in time the drama will lessen. Max runs everywhere too, but he is 2 1/2 and a big boy so he's like a smallish tornado. :D Kate: I like hi / lo med ball too-...

    Laura: I never should have posted the carb count on that recipe! :p Just jump in with both feet girl, you can do it! I second Heather's recommendation of pearl barley- love it. Here is another crock pot recipe. Crockpot Chicken Barley Soup 1 14 ounce can of chicken broth 1 (16oz)...

    Give me some complex carb recommendations

    Laura: Woo hoo for carbs! I really like Ezekiel bread toasted with peanut butter. I also eat this random thing called blueberry goo- mix 1 serving of cottage cheese with frozen blueberries and a handful of slivered almonds. It sounds random but is really good. Try greek yogurt and crush up...

    Charlotte: I think it's great that you have found something that works for you and that you feel passionate about selling. I'll do a little reading and send you a PM if I want to try it.
