Hi everyone, long time no post? I haven't had any time to read any posts for our group except yesterday's so I have no idea what's happening. Hope everyone is doing well! Vegas was absolutely wonderful but I was so wiped out last week and could barely function- too little sleep, too much...

Hi everyone~ Elizabeth, how was Vegas? Anything special I should know before we leave? Its been a quite a few years since we've been there. Still trying to get a workout in today- not sure what I'll do since the kids are home from school and babies are awake. I'll have to improvise...

Good morning everyone~ Just have a quick minute to check in and say hi. The party was a huge hit on Sat, the rain & cicadas held off and I'm so relieved its over. Now I have 3 days to get ready for Vegas so I won't be checking in much till next week when we get back. Still doing HIIT and...

Thanks for the reassurement, Sabine... I don't feel quite as bad as I did Sat night (after what I ate then- hot dogs, pizza, etc). I haven't worked out yet and I'm trying to get my energy up to do it which has been hard today, hence what bad eating does to my body/brain. 40something, my DH...

Good Morning everyone~ Today is HIIT and I'm going to start HST (weights MWF starting light and gradually getting heavy)- although I hear you CinDee, I just would rather take a week off and not think about working out for a long, long time. As soon as I said I wouldn't eat terribly...

Happy Mother's Day to all those w/kids and all those w/mothers~ CinDee, I don't know what works for bloating but I'd ask the same question- it may be worth having Midol close by just in case. What day do you leave? About the soreness- I think it varies on several factors depending on...

Good morning everyone~ I forgot how much work gardening is between digging and hauling bags of mulch around. Needless to say, I got my upper body work in for the day. It's still not finished so I'm going out this a.m. to try to get more done before it rains. This afternoon I'll do HIIT and...

Susan, how the heck did you come up with that so fast? Do you work for, or are you married to, Mr. Clean? I'll try it- sounds exactly like what I'm looking for. Thank you!!

Good afternoon everyone~ The shopping was nice and relaxing yesterday. I ended up trying on a few dresses, some shorts and t-shirts, bought nothing. I DID buy two bathing suits that I need to try on for my DH and I'll return one, not bikinis however. All the bikinis I tried on are not made...

Good morning everyone~ Kathy-- welcome! We'd love to have another newcomer in the group! When's your reunion? Pinky, have you heard from the dr. yet? Thinking about you- I'm sure everything will be fine. Sorry to hear the beast is back. Have you tried Ambien? I think if I had insomnia...

Good morning everyone- I haven't had much time to check in since last week, hope I haven't missed anything good, hope all has been well with fellow check-in-ers! I went to the gym yesterday for a different experience and did the eliptical trainer for 30 minutes (2 minutes fast/2 minutes...

Good Friday morning everyone- Pinky, think about all the wonderful memories Andrew will have when he looks back on your trip, not to mention I'm sure your family was so thrilled to see him, too. Hope the jet lag goes away soon. Do you have any pictures? Susan, don't get on the scale! I...

Kim, don't beat yourself up over the cookies- that's all they are- don't give them that much power (I sound like an Oprah show). I know, I often feel terrible after eating something really bad but they say you shouldn't deprive yourself of anything or your craving will turn into a big monsterx(...

We're staying at the Bellagio- friends had bid on it at a silent auction and we all promised that we'd go together after they got it (sounded like a great idea after a few glasses of wine!) Go figure, we actually planned it and now here it is... you're not that far, Sabine, you should come...

Susan, it is true that HIIT is more difficult and some people don't like it because its harder on the joints. What's most important is that you do what feels good and stays enjoyable- I do HIIT because I love pushing myself, but if I hated it I'd stick with long cardio sessions. Mix things up...

Good afternoon everyone~ Pinky, welcome back!! So smart of you to take some time to get re-adjusted to your schedule before jumping (literally) back into working out. Don't worry about the eating- you know that was a very special occasion and you'll get right back into shape like you were...

Good afternoon everyone~ I'm just checking in really fast to start the thread... haven't worked out yet but hope to get to it soon. Sabine, I think my workouts are as hard as they were before but the HIIT is so much faster and I think its actually easier on my knees because its a shorter...

Good Sunday morning~ I got my HIIT out of the way first thing this a.m. which was really good (I ran my hills) and now I don't have to think about it. I'm trying to do it early on an empty stomach to see if that really helps burn more fat. Anyone experience a difference? This is what the...

Briee- you've started HIIT? How are you liking it? What kinds of intervals have you been doing? Love to hear about it:-) Brendab

Trevor- when you switch do you do one set one/one set another (i.e. flyes/presses/flyes/presses)? You're also doing 2 sets heavy, 1 set light? I was doing this w/the S&H series where I'd do the first 2 sets heavy and double timet the last set w/light weights. Would this work? Brenda
