Delurking to say that the display also comes with a clip device that you can use to clip the display to your waistband, rather than wearing the big clunky wristband. I've used the clip since I got the GWF about six weeks ago. It's very well made and clips snugly to the waistband of my pants or...

Definitely! Craving carbs more than I have in recent months, and I've given in to the craving too many times, especially with not-so-good carbs. I'm trying to up the lean protein intake, controlled intake of good fats, and eating lots of fresh veggies. I'm definitely carb-sensitive, so I have...

Was it Nutrimalt? Cats love the malt flavor. You can get it at Petco or any other pet supply store.

I made my own for a while using a Salton yogurt maker and Fage yogurt for starter. When I discovered how yummy Fage tasted, I got kind of lazy with making yogurt and just started buying Fage. But homemade yogurt is definitely delicious.

My big a-ha moment in this week's CatheTV is that I'm not supposed to put my entire foot on the paper plate, just the ball of my foot. A-HA! Maybe that's why it felt so awkward. :D Thanks, Cathe, for the tip.

I'll be away on 2/23, with no internet access, so I'll have to pass this year. That said, I'm in NJ, so theoretically, there's no excuse for me not getting down to Cathe's studio at some point! In the mean time, I'll live vicariously through all the lucky folks who grab one of the 105 spots.

Cathe, this is very valuable information! I've been going with too much resistance on the tubing with my pulldowns, and haven't felt it as I thought I should. I just figured if some resistance was good, certainly more would be better. :confused: I guess not... I swapped disc 3 (legs--did...

Julie, as far as the ball squats, I always put my feet out farther than most people, so that when I'm in the down position with my thighs parallel with the floor, my lower legs are still beyond perpendicular to the floor. I've got knee issues as well (OA with surgery on one of the knees). For...

Those are usually highly trained capuchin monkeys that were born and raised in captivity for the specific purpose of being aids to disabled people. Smaller than full-grown chimps (monkeys and chimps are both primates, but monkeys are more like 4-legged animals whereas chimps are more similar to...

I flip-flopped my workouts for today and Friday. Did disc 3 legs today so I'll be recovered enough to ski my first day of vacation (this Sunday) at Big Sky, Montana. Besides, my triceps are still screaming at me from all the push-ups in disc 1 on Monday! I'm looking forward to your full...

Thanks for the very comprehensive explanation! I have no problem with the sync-ing of the music in STS. I'm too busy agonizing over those last few reps, and yes, I do slow down toward the end of most of the sets. So the beat of the music is mostly irrelevant to me. Now with a step...

Mine says last visit 02-06-2009. I've been on several times a day since then. Hmmmmm.....

All very true! I do feel for parkercp, though--I've got a 25-year-old son and would be beside myself if I did something to make him not want to talk to me, especially if he was going to be away for an extended period. I agree with the idea of the sincere apology, and voicing an understanding...

That's when you know the workout is perfect--when the leader kicks her own butt!! I'm on the 6-month rotation and did disc 1 for the second time on Monday. I got closer to doing all of the push-ups than I did the first time (had to skip the last set altogether the first time, but got...

I take melatonin and ZMA (zinc + magnesium) about 30 minutes before bed. Sleep like a baby (well, except for the need to get up to pee at least once...). I'm also on a very low dose of Prempro for hot flashes, because they used to wake me up several times during the night.

My upper body is really weak. I'm still not able to do a straight-leg on-the-toes push-up (currently doing on my knees, then table-top toward the end), but I'm hopeful that somewhere in meso 1, it'll happen. I'm also terrible with chin-ups/pull-ups. Just bought an Iron Gym (it's being...

Gabrielle, that is simply beautiful. I'm so sorry about Slinky--I've been there and know how difficult it is.

I've also lowered many of my weights a bit from what the 1RM % says I should be lifting for any given exercise. I'm figuring Meso 1 is muscle endurance, and if I'm lifting a weight that will only allow me to do 10 reps instead of 15 on an exercise (especially those toward the end of the...

ohohohoho... I'd say you're in for it but good now! :D:D:D LOL at the visual I have in my head! Great story--thanks for a good laugh!

I'm On Fire, Bruce Springsteen. A tribute to my burning glutes and hammies after doing an STS legs workout yesterday! :p
