    Looking for a good book - humor

    I've discovered some great books from the Cathletes here, and it's my turn to pick a book for my book club in a few weeks, so I'm coming back to the well. :D I'm looking for something humorous, first of all. It can be fiction, non-fiction, or inspirational and either old or new. I'm not a...

    What happened to my summer (RANT)

    Okay this year Mother Nature decided the Northern Midwest did not deserve summer or even a fall so far. After a fairly mild winter, spring was cold and really rainy. It finally started getting into the seventies in late June and the eighties in July. We only got to the nineties once or twice...

    INSANE PARTY Fri Oct 9th

    Good Morning, Today was a "play day" for me. I wasn't sure what I wanted to do. Then I remembered I have a power tower that I've only used to try pull-ups with, so I decided to try some of my 1RM tests and play with my new tower. I did the chest and back 1RMs from Meso 3. They came out...

    Hey Ya'll., Today was CA and MCC. Whew! Not pretty, but done. I would have liked to have gone out on a stronger note, but it was what it was. :p I'm going to try and get to bed early tonight and make sure I get more sleep before my final fit test. My last few nights have been slightly...

    End of OverEating Thread #4

    Since checking in really helps I'm going to start a new thread, since I feel this is a new beginning for me this week. Sandra, You're probably right, continuing to read up on this is probably as important as planning. It helps keep all these ideas in the forefront of our brains. I will have...

    INSANE PARTY - Tue Oct 6th

    Good Morning Y'all, I did MIP this morning. It took a bit for me to get into this one, but I felt good afterwards. I have a hard time believing I'll be able to beat my 4th fit test results, but I'll be sure to give it H$LL. :D Roselyn, I love to see your enthusiasm. It reminds me of how...

    INSANE PARTY Thursday Oct 1st

    Good Morning, Today was CC&B. I made it all the way through the hip burners on both legs this time. :D I feel both sad and happy it took me till my final time in the series to do that. Marrianne, Hopefully we'll have some alumni stop in today, but if it's just the two of us that's fine...

    Good Morning Y'all, I didn't see a check in for yesterday. Anyway yesterday was CA and MCC. That went pretty well. This morning was MIC. That also went pretty well. I have changed up my diet a bit and I don't feel quite a powerful as I did in the past. It's weird I'm doing as much...

    Morning Y'all, Today was MIP. I had to really drag my butt outta bed to work out this morning, but I was glad I did. ;) My hips feel really good today since I did Hip Helpers last night. I only do the first 30 minutes and it really does make a difference. I need to find time to do it...

    Insane Party Sat Sept 20th

    Good Morning All, I just finished CC&B. I finally made it through the left side on hip burners and made it to the last 5 seconds on the right. A testament to HH. ;) I got cocky and continued the shoulder burners until the timer on the screen went to zero after Shaun T had everyone stop. :p...

    Making your own peanut butter?

    I know you just puree peanuts till it's at the consistency you prefer, but I'm wondering if those of you who have made it prefer to use a food processor or blender? I've been buying natural peanut butter for years, but really why, when I can make it myself? :)

    Insanity Check in?

    I know this was talked about, but was there an official Insanity Check in ever set up? Assuming my DVDs show up on time, I plan to start on Monday the 20th. Anyone else?
