Hello and Suprise! I don't have much to report as far as spinging... but I came across a very funny Dave Barry quote (we have one of theose daily calendars) "Let's face it: losing 10 pounds is not going to get you women into bikinis. Not these days, when the strict bodily standards set...

I have gotten so many great titles of books to read from posters here that I wanted to share one with all of you. "A Short History of Nearly Everything " by Bill Bryson I learned of Bill Bryson from this site ("A Walk in the Woods" was recommended and I thoroughly enjoyed it.) Happy...

Hi Wayne, I tried to email you but it came back 'undeliverable'. A while ago I suggested to you a radical approach to your problem I didn't know if there was a connection, but I thought you could look into excess yeast in your body (or something like that) Anyway on a completely different...

Hello gang, Another rest day for me. The biweekly (men’s) poker game was at our house last night and they play (loudly) until 11 pm. Not really so late for normal people, but late for those of us who get up at 4 -4:30 am. Needless to say, I was a little short on sleep this morning. So I just...

Hi guys, I'm starting early today - see if anyone else starts at the same time:o My dinner yesterday was wonderful. This restaurant is small family owned (owner does the cooking) and the food quality can be inconsistant. Last night it was fantastic. We even had a new server who was...

Edited by joy to add that I have posted this on Dutchgirl's topic - same name. please post there. -j Hello everyone Well, let me hit the weekend hilites... Pinky - oh my - full time v 6 weeks - oh my. I cannot even imagine. and I'd better not comment any more. (BTW, I'm impressed...

Hello all, I thought I would start today since I missed yesterday. I did go back and re-read Fit for Xmas - 12/16. The first burning question is - Sabine - did UPS deliver? Pinky it sounds like you did really well on your first trip through step blast. I had such a time with the third...

Hello all, WOW everyone is doing great! Well my pants are looser today, mainly because this pair is bigger than yesterday's pair LOL! I deviated from the Dec rotation today: did the cardio & weights cardio only premix (about 30")...couldn't face SJP and didn't have enough time for a 72"...

Hello everybody, How is it going. I think the new check in name is great. I found myself completing my CTX week and then proceeding to some Body Blast vids, and as it turned out, I basically started Cathe's December rotation a little early. This morning was Step Blast (again) I'm getting...

Hi Brenda and Sabine, Thanks for the well wishes for my DH. We do need them. My leg is feeling much better and I'm being very cautious and conservative... Brenda I think MIS is a really tough workout. It is sooo long. I know the leg portion isn't as much as ME and PH but it ALWAYS gets...

Hello Brenda and Sabine, I caught up on the check-ins for day 3 & 4. Great workouts. It must have been interval weekend! I switched around a little and did All Step on Saturday. I wanted to give my shoulders the best chance of doing their best - not have them already sore from other...

Good day, Today I have a rest day - AHHHHH Looking forward to S&I tomorrow. Sabine, I ready day 1 thread and saw how you did the All Step workout AND you got up at 4 AM! I think all step is a lot of fun too. It is really great to feel energetic and do all the power work. I know exactly...

Good morning all, I did manage to do my leg workout this am in spite of less than optimum sleep... I did substitue Legs & Glutes for Leaner Legs. I did not have time/energy for an abs add-on. I also confess to making a few modifications to L&G. First I slowed down the step ups and upped...

I was wondering if anyone would like to do a one week ctx check in beginning today or tomorrow and ending just before Thanksgiving?? I've not been following anything too specific lately and I was thinking I should heed my own advice about more cardio. I thought maybe if I could complete CTX...

I read this book on the recommendation of people on this forum. I really enjoyed it. Thank you. I thought you would get a kick out of the experience my daughter had last week in London. She is studying in London for the semester. There is a film festival going on. She and two...

I have many things to confess. First. I was guilty of SERIOUS over-training. April, May, June I followed Cathe's rotations. I would take a week off inbetweeen to do one of the intensity series rotations that Cathe posted. Then at the end of July, I moved. I had to carry most things...

Hello Runathon, I finally made the Arepas using the recipe you gave on the polenta topic. I started a new topic so you could easily see that YES I made them and they came out really good. I ate too many though!! -joy

Hi Sherry, I was thinking of you this weekend and I hope you are doing well. I just wanted you to know. -joy

Hi everyone! I thought I would start this early because I won't be with a computer on Monday because of the Memorial Day holiday. I finished off the third week (CTX week) and I really enjoyed doing CTX a day at a time. I noticed that (for the most part) I was able to go heavier on the weight...
