I am slow getting here today. I had a lot of things to tend to and still have house cleaning to do tonight. I wanted upper body today and used Cathe Live Cardio Boxing plus Plyo Legs first 23 minutes, 150 calories, for a warm up stopping when Cathe says gloves off. It did have a lot of boxing with some quick plyo cardio. I then did Upper Body With Ball live, 51 minutes, 235 calories. I finished off doing Cathe's Yoga Max express 2, 34 minutes, 79 calories. Total time was 1 hr 45 minutes, calories 459.

Debbie, I like the curried chicken salad that I ate again today and last night, the asparagus chicken salad is yummy I bought some asparagus for it today, I also purchased Italian Turkey sausage for the eggplant and sausage stacks that are really good today but forgot the egg plant. . The marinated flank steak is great on salad. I like the bison butternut squash which I think is in the post workout meals Sometimes I just use ground beef in it. I have used the recipe for the Honey Garlic Lemon Chicken wings but used chicken tenderloins. Lemon Artichoke chicken is good but I leave out the capers. I have tried capers in multiple recipes thinking it was just the recipe but came to the conclusion that I do not like them. Garlic Lemon Shrimp with Cauliflower grits is good. She does give a suggestion that blackened chicken could be made and eaten with the cauliflower grits. I may try that soon. I liked the smoked salmon egg beg in pre-workout meals a lot. Very good. I think I remember that you don't care for fish though. I like it when it is seasoned up well and combined with something else most of the time. Or a good sauce with it. The turkey veggie meatloaf is good, I guess I am giving you the whole cookbook
These are recipes that I have used. I like the twice baked sweet potato and use sugar free nitrate free bacon in it. These are in the carb dense sides along with hasseback sweets that are yummy.
Jolie, the main reason that I have done portions of the live workouts is because I was trying to avoid too much work on the shoulders area for awhile and also trying to keep down some of the impact. I also like to add a bit extra lower to some of the shorter lighter workouts. I didn't pay for the On demand that includes live because I have all of Cathe's workouts except Ice. It would be kind of a waste for me. The live classes are good as they are. I think some could use a longer stretch because that is usually brief. Most run between 45 and 55 minutes but there are a few longer. I tend to like to do longer workouts. I customize a lot of my dvd workouts too. I love the ones that have lots of premixes because it makes it easier.
Need to go cook up something for dinner. All of this talk about food reminds me that I am hungry
