My mil, her sister and the people who I delivered meals on wheels to inspire me to keep fit. My mil is 57 years old, is 5'3 and weighs about 275lbs. She eats out for almost every meal and makes poor decisions on what she chooses to eat (example: 6 Krispy Creme donuts, some eggs and...

I try to do family activities during the weekends. The kids are starting to ride bikes with us so we'll probably go on a short 10-20 mile ride with them on Sat and DH and I should do about 45 miles on Sunday. DD has wanted to go rollerblading all week so I'll probably do that with her for a few...

I did the workout today as posted. It took about 35 minutes. I'll probably just take it easy the rest of the day. I thought about adding on some weight work and/or cardio but I'm a little tired and I'll probably get in a long bike ride with my dh and some rollerblading with my dd over the...

I did mine on the treadmill on a slow speed. I thought about doing it in our front yard but the ac won me over. Dawn

My husband lost his wedding ring years ago while swimming. He's never gotten a new one. We ocassionally have thought about replacing it but it hasnt been a priority to spend the money on it. I've never had any doubts about his commitment to our marriage. Dawn

Day 4 complete :) I dont have Imax 2 so I did LowMax, then the leg drills from KickMax that I skipped yesterday and finished up with CoreMax 3. Has anyone done tomorrows workout early? I'm curious how long it takes. I'm not sure if I want to do the routine or substitute PowerHour or...

I got up early this morning and went on a 2 hour bike ride with my dh as soon as it was light enough. I completed all of SJP but skipped out on the leg drills. Hopefully, I'll sleep well tonight. Dawn

Day 2 completed :) Didnt do it quite as early as some of you and it turned out not to be as hard as I expected. I'm looking forward to SJ&P tomorrow. I love that workout. I may skip the step portion and KickMax leg add on for a 2 hour bike ride with my dh. Dawn

Made it thru day one :) I'm so glad that I took a rest day yesterday. I started off with a 25 min 1.5 mile jog/walk with my 11 year old dd, had some lunch and did Bodymax with the jumping jacks and pushups. I was also sweating like crazy and needed a shower after the workout. Dawn

Thanks :) I was wondering how to do the squat thrust climbers because I don't have BootCamp. I thought that I'd better say thanks now because I might not be so grateful after doing them in the rotation. Dawn

I'm willing to try it. I won't do it exactly as written either because I try to do as much exercise as I can with my family (usually biking and roller blading). We're going out of state for a wedding Labor Day weekend so hopefully I will tone up by doing this rotation.

Glad to hear that I'm not the only one. I'm so tired of hearing that you need to have small treats in your regular diet. I find it much easier to not eat a piece of cake than to eat just one piece. I feel so much better when I stick to clean eating.

Mine was at the doctor's office in Jan 2003. I stepped on the scale and weighed 150lbs. At that moment, I realized that I had to do something to keep the weight from continually increasing. I didn't want to be 300lbs like my mil and knew that I was heading towards it. I started watching what I...

My husband received those type of notices that looked like they came from ebay and paypal. I told him not to respond to them because they looked suspect. I just got the same notice two days ago but I've never had an ebay account so it looks like they are just fishing for people. I also get some...

I grew up in Tracy, Ca and lived in Stockton and Turlock for a few years. I now live in Texas though. Commute and house prices drove us out of California.
