I live in Dallas! Gin and Jean -- can't wait to meet you this weekend on the RT!! Colleen

Mikkia: I lowered my cholesterol with diet and exercise but it still runs a little high because of family history. My doc had me on a statin for a while until I decided I didn't want to be on a statin (my cholesterol was not out of control or anything). He understood and had me start taking red...

Hi all -- haven't checked in in the past several days! But I have been reading everyone's posts. I did Supersets Upper Body Premix today and then did Kickmax. I am really trying to get into kickboxing (did KPC twice last week) but I just feel so dumb doing it! I'm glad I can't see myself in a...

Hi everyone -- Haven't checked in since Thursday - was out of town over the weekend. Laura: Welcome!! I'm so glad you'll be able to come to the RT -- I'd love to hear about life in Africa! I live in Dallas too and actually just spent the weekend in Hot Springs, Arkansas!! Had a fun...

Well, I just limped over to the computer to post for the day -- just did the new CIA workout -- All Body Attack with Sharon Twombly. Oh MAN!! I am pooped and sopping wet. I thought it was more of a step workout or I probably wouldn't have done this today after doing Drill Max yesterday. Guess I...

Hi everyone! I'm so excited about all of Cathe's plans for this year!! Over 400 IPOD workouts -- wow!! Maybe I'll actually start going to the gym! Did Drill Max today - love this one! Although it always leaves me drenched and tired! I finally got a new stability ball -- I was using the...

Hi all - haven't checked in since last Thursday -- the weekend was so busy. Finally worked out today for first time since last Thursday -- did Cardio and Weights. It was my first stepping in over a week as I was trying to give my achilles tendon a rest last week. It felt pretty good. Can't...

Good morning! I actually got up this morning and went to a 5:45 yoga class! This is unheard of for me who is NOT a morning person at all. I feel great now but I'm sure I'll crash after lunch! Blurp: I hate flying! I think Beth and Lara can understand! But I will fly to see Cathe and you all...

Hi ladies! Today is GS Chest & Tri's and the BONUS CARDIO from the April rotation. I have to admit my calves are still sore from GS Legs Monday!! Just a quick check-in as my 2 year old daughter is hanging on my leg. Blurp -- am a baseball fanatic. My dad had 2 girls and no son to share his...

Hi everyone! Went to a 90-mintue power yoga class this morning -- lots of hip openers so my hips are screaming at me now. Was scheduled for Step Blast for April rotation today but wanted to lay off the step for a few days with my achilles tendon being so sore. It hasn't been bothering me too...

Finally checking in after the weekend! First, I have to say to KATHY -- I can't believe we're on the same flight -- I'm so excited!! I only worked out once over the weekend. Saturday was busy carting the kids all over the place and spending time together with the family. But Sunday morning I...

RE: Road Trip Check-in Kathy: I am on American # 1948 leaving DFW at 10:20am on Friday - what about you? Belinda: Have fun with Rythmic Step today- I love that workout!! Not sure what I will be able to fit in this weekend between shuttling kids to games and practices -- hopefully some...

RE: Road Trip Check-in Good Morning all! Lara and Lorrie: Thanks for your suggestions yesterday about my achilles tendon. It's been a dull ache but yesterday during Step Blast it was actually painful and last night when I went to bed it was throbbing. I like Lara's suggestion of more cross...

Hey everyone! Today was my pure cardio day - I love those days! Just finished Step Blast (one of my faves) and I'm sweating on the keyboard as I type! has anyone ever had problems with an achilles tendon? Is that what that little area is at the back of your ankle? My left one has been sore for...

Hi everyone! Just read through everyone's posts -- lots of running stuff!! I admire all you runners - never have gotten into it myself. Did Jari's Ripped 1000! again today and am eating well so far! My biggest excitement of the day is that we switched from DISH to DIRECTV today so I finally...
