Hi guys! Sorry I haven't been checking in lately, but it's been pretty crazy and hectic around here! We've FINALLY officially moved out of our old apt & into our new place, so now it's just a matter of finding and putting things away (and clearing a space for my workouts!). This is just...

. . . dumbells and plates become part of your living room decor (strategically placed, of course!) . . . you're extremely disappointed if you don't get DOMS on a regular basis . . . when moving to a new house/apt, you beg DH to NOT unhook and move the TV/DVD until absolutely necessary so...

Hi guys! I've been on a little hiatus this past week - I worked all weekend, we're moving this week, and my grandfather recently passed away (he had been suffering from Lou Gehrig's disease, so we're all glad that he's in a much better place right now). Anyway, I haven't done much in the...

Good for you, Wendy! I just finished PUB and the abs from C&W (love that ab w/o), and I can finally match Cathe on ALL the tricep and biceps work!!! And, uh yeah, my arms feel like wobbly jello! }( I'm so glad to be working my upper body again! The stitches seemed fine, so count me in for...

Jess- I took lessons for about 8 years when I was younger, and I've always loved playing. Since I've only been able to play somewhat sporadically at friends' houses, etc., I'm probably a bit rusty! :D My dream house (which I won't be able to afford unless one of DH's numerous lotto tickets...

Dani, Thanks! I just ordered the Resist-a-Ball b/c they were out of the 55cm VersaBalls, but it says that the R-a-B is also more durable and can hold up to 750 lbs - thanks again for the link! Cleo

Dani - Thanks for the link - which of the balls is the type that Cathe uses? It looks like there are a variety to choose from. If I'm doing weight work on the ball (like using the ball as my bench while doing PUB, for example), does it really matter which one I get?

Hello everyone! This time I DID remember to make it to the lab! :D I just got home after stuffing my face with a breakfast sandwich and running errands, and now I am going to do PUB. If I'm feeling good afterwards, I MIGHT run for 20-30 minutes (we'll see). Then, it's on to more packing...

Hi guys! I just finished L&G and am so happy to be working out again!!! I'm doing PUB tomorrow (I might tack on some cardio if I'm not drowning in too much sweat). We'll see how the forearm stitches do and then I'll decide about doing BC on Thurs. I get the stitches out on Monday (6 days...

Hi guys! Kali, thanks for the reminder! I will not fast in vain yet again!!! I've been kinda bummed about not working out, though. I haven't done anything since Wed because I don't want to put any extra strain on the stitches (which are already pretty tight). I did Pilates abs yesterday...

Thanks guys! I'll tell you right now so that you and I won't forget: my fasting appt is scheduled for Wed at 8:00AM. :-) (= no eating after 8PM on Tuesday) :( And don't worry - I definitely WON'T forget the appt for the stitches. Actually, these are the first stitches I've ever had (not...

Hi everybody! Wendy, I know what you mean - I am always wiped by the end of BC (and I LOVE it!!!). So, I totally could've worked out today, but oh well. To make a long story short, when I made the appt. for the cholesterol test I also told them that I wanted my doc to check out a few...

My local Wal-mart didn't have it, and that's why I looked at Dick's. I do know that you can order the Wal-mart one on their website (I think it's around $20 plus shipping), but I don't think it was the Danskin brand. I know there's an earlier thread somewhere either in this forum or in the...

Hey guys-- I have to kiss tomorrow's interval running good-bye - I had to reschedule a cholesteral/blood-sugar test and the only time they can get me in before the end of August is tomorrow at 10:00. I'd run before that, but I have to fast for 12 hours before the test, and I think it would...

I purchased my barbell set (100 lbs) at Dick's for about $25. It has the vinyl covered plates (like the wal-mart set), and I also picked up a few extra standard size 2 1/2 and 5 lb plates to go with it (the 4lb barbell itself comes with 8s, 10s, and 20s).

It's funny - I'm the exact opposite. I would MUCH rather spend my time lifting weights than producing mass buckets of sweat during cardio (especially in this summer heat)! I like feeling specific muscles being worked to exhaustion - and then the DOMS . . . . they really let ya know that your...

Good morning!!! Well, I got up early and did PUB before it got too hot, but seeing as I already have interval running scheduled for tomorrow, I'm going to save it for then :-). I think I'm also going to add in some Pilates after running tomorrow. I don't feel as sore as I thought I would...

RE: Question for robin4health!!! Thanks so much, Robin! You can add one more Shaklee convert to your list after I finish my GNC bottle. :-) Cleo

Question for robin4health!!! Hi Robin! I checked out your Shaklee website and am wondering what specific product you used to make that detailed comparison to GNC's Women UltraMega (which I currently take). Were you using the Women's Basics in the comparison? If so, were you using ALL of...

Kali & Marie: congratulations on your hard-won success! I'm someone who has a lot of alcoholism in my family and I seriously admire those who totally turn their lives around after a difficult battle with the bottle. You two are definitely an inspiration!!! :-) I think having seasonal...
