Susan – Sticking with the Pyramids sounds like a good plan!
Michelle – I think any weight that challenges YOU is a good weight. We all have different levels and that’s the nice thing about being human….we’re all unique.
Melissa – I agree, take the pic for yourself. You’ll be amazed at the amount of changes that you’ll see (I’ve done a couple of Leanness Lifestyle intensives – which are like BFL on steroids, lol). I had excellent results. I CAN’T give up coffee….okay maybe I could if I was dying from it, but short of that…. it’s staying, lol. I drink a packet of Crystal Light in one of my water bottles everyday. I buy them in the box of 14 packets.
Gayle - DH is actually going to see the marathon movie with me. I bought a couple of tickets last night and I can hardly wait now! What iTrain’s do you have? I have ALL of the iTread’s – 95% of the iClimbs – and about 75% of the iCycles, lol. Just let me know what equipment you have (elliptical/bike?) and I’ll make some recommendations.

Thanks for the encouragement on the bikini-issue everyone!
Maybe I will at least let DH print it out and I'll tuck it away in my BFL book to look at every once in a while. I have this one picture of me that was taken Easter 2000, a few months after DD was born, and I still take it out and look at it from time to time as a reminder of what I DON'T want to look like EVER AGAIN! And, I was fully clothed!! Just imagine what how motivating a picture of me in a bikini would be!! LOL!!
Okay, I'm going to suck it up and at least print it.
Thanks guys!! :*

Thanks Kathy. I think I'm going to try and stick with water and Crystal Light. I'm out of Diet Coke right now, so as long as I don't have it in the house I should be able to avoid it! I think I use it mostly as a sweet fix.

Gayle – Here’s a few of my favorites and their breakdowns. Just add a full “point” to the speed, i.e if it says 5.6…..runner is usually 6.6.
Another super one that I love but don’t have the breakdown to is iClimb Core – Set 17. It’s a circuit that alternates cardio with lower body medicine ball moves. It’s misnamed in my opinion, lol….but I think it can be intense if you use a heavy med ball or weight. I also like to do it on my treadmill instead of the elliptical. The same thing goes for iBiClimb Bootcamp, I do it all on my treadmill sometimes and just sprint the short elliptical segments.
iTread 20 is a winner, I use this one a lot for tempo runs. It slowly increases the speed in segments of 9-10 minutes with a short break. The segments increase in intensity and the final is an all out sprint at the end (highest number before the jog home on the breakdown). Grace does the usual we’ll do this for 2 minutes but it’s for 3-4 instead.” You know how she can be, lol….she tells you 60 seconds more two times before she ends it.
iTread 25 with Nick is actually more intense than it looks because you go by perceived exertion. I usually crank up the walking speed on the incline segments and all out sprint the runs.
iTri Sprints can be done on the treadmill and bike (just do the elliptical and bike segments together). It’s a nice cross training workout that gives me my dose of sprints.
iTrain Tag Team is intense! I love this one and you can do all the cardio on the treadmill pretty easily or sub the bike.
iTread 21 Intervals is a really great interval run. I used this one a lot when I first downloaded it and it’s still a favorite.
iBi Climb Bootcamp is a must! You can do the entire thing using the treadmill for cardio (I’ve done it that way lots of times). The time flies by and it’s quite entertaining.
And finally iClimb 6 – 20 minutes is a true HIIT workout that could probably be done on the bike. I do it on my elliptical and I’m drenched when it’s over!
Hope this helps, I apologize to everyone else for this super long post, lol.

I ended up having oatmeal for my snack..but not the good for you kind...I had instant maple brown sugar..but it was a nice treat. I guess it was better than a snickers! For dinner I will have veggie chili. My dh and dd are having pot roast but Im not a big beef eater. My evening snack will most likely be oatmeal..again!

Hi Ladies ~ 
I just wanted to apologize to everyone, I haven't been in the best of moods lately and you all have been great!! THANK YOU ALL, YOU ARE ALL THE BEST!!!!! :*
Just made my meals for tomorrow. I boiled some chicken breast w/ chicken broth :9, boiled a 18 pack of eggs (this way I have them handy), cooked up some protein pancakes....I think I am set!
Gayle~ That is such great news about your BF. He's a lucky man! It always great to find someone that your kids love as much as you do!
I plan on making your chili this weekend, I already told BF to be ready...maybe I will start to like this cooking thing.. LOL
Great job on PUB, 21 pds....OUCH!!! How do you do this, do you have the special dumbbells? How did the kids like going back to school today, I know I was dragging getting back to work ..

Hello all! You have all been busy and chatting away! I can't even keep up with all of you. I'm so behind on the happenings (missed trips, relationships on a high, etc.), but I did catch that someone was cheering for the Hogs - so sad as we're Tiger fans at this household!
Today my parents left, I went back to work and the kids went back to school (though they hoped 10 inches of snow on NYD would keep them out one more day). Starting 4DS this week and just finished shoulders, calves & core - I really pushed it for the shoulder part and I'm sure I'll feel it in the a.m. But it's a good change from GS's. I decided that as a reward for reaching my first goal, I'm ordering PUB/PLB to that I can finish these 12 weeks out more BFL like. In the meantime, I think my rotation for the next few weeks will be something like:
Sun - high intensity step (because I just can't get the choreography so it's nowhere near HIIT)
Mon - back/chest
Tues - low intensity step
Wed - shoulders/calves
Thurs - kickbox
Fri - legs
Sat - bootcamp & biceps/triceps
Not very creative, but gets in the cardio and hits every body part hard during the week.
Now for a protein shake and to bed. I'll be up at 5:00 for 4DS kickbox if anyone wants to join me.

Hi ladies,
this morning I did PLB and I went heavier than Cathe! Sorry I don't have time for personals, my kids will leave Friday back to the states! I miss them already! Friday everything will be back to normal!
Have a great night!
