Enjoy your time off! Hope you had a great Christmas with your family. Ours was low key and no stress. Beth

I slept in until 8:30 both weekend days. I just did not want to get up! I'm sure I'll pay for it tonight when I try to get to sleep. How are you feeling? I'm just maintaining things right now. Taking it all one day at a time, working out 4x/week, and trying to intentionally have good days...

I will probably have to retire before I would have the time available to do STS! I've done pieces of it on occastion-like the leg sections in STS 3 and a hypertrophy upper body; but do not have the mental and time committement available right now. I only did one week of Slow and Heavy and that...

My week went by fast. Feels like all I do is work! I did get 3 workouts in during the week, was aiming for 4, but too tired by Friday. Today is my town's Dickens of a Christmas event-all day crafts, people dress up like Victorian's if they want, caroling, food, etc. I'm going to walk...

Yum! A fresh juice/smoothie cleanse sounds like a great way to give your digestive system a rest. I basically gained two pounds over the holiday even though I ate one meal Thursday and one on Friday. DH got indigestion from the richness of some of the food. We're getting stuck in our ways, I...

Getting ready to leave tomorrow morning for New Hampshire! Spent the weekend doing wash and cooking up some food for DS1 to have and making fresh cranberry relish for Thanksgiving. Glad to hear you are easing back into working out. If you are like most folks I have seen, you will continue...

How is your week going? Saturday I ended up getting my Booster and then recovered from it on Sunday. I was so tired and achy and if it's anything like what you've been going through I'm glad you're vaccinated because it was awful and if you got covid without being vaccinated that would be 10X...

Sorry. It's been a busy week. Work is kicking my butt. Our positivity rate is 12% in the area so it's non stop covid questions, testings, letters, cleaning, phone calls...I'm pretty tired by the end of the day. I'm in a funk too with the time change and not being able to walk to and from...

What a week-TGIF! Not a good sleep week for me. The impending holidays are giving me some really weird dreams/nightmares. One night my brother was shot by my uncle-to give you an example. Been processing my estrangement more. DS1 is not coming. He's very aloof and that's just the way he...

How are your feeling? I hope you and your family are all on the mend! Not much going on here. I've switched to trying to do Pure Strength for few weeks. The two upper body are both around 40 minutes and the standing portion of the legs without stretch clocks in at 38 minutes. So totally...

Oh my. Please, please, take care of yourself. Don't worry about working out. You need to rest. Even if it's just a cold-rest and drink lots of fluids. Take care, Beth

Wow. How many days have they been quarantining? Have the rest of you been tested? Praying you all get through this. You're doing great pushing fluids. Beth

OMG-I am so sorry to hear about your son. Don't hesitate to go to the ER if he develops any trouble breathing. The younger groups do have more GI issues so hopefully he'll rebound soon. Thinking of you guys.... Beth

Sounds like once you got through Friday night you had a very nice weekend. I had my 3 days off and it was wonderful. I went to bed early every night and felt good on Monday morning. I finished American Rust, made pizza, and just did weights on Saturday and Sunday. It was rainy and cold here...

RWH is fantastic for weight work. It's the only one I was able to stick with for longer than a month. Tonight for me is Push weights of Fit Split. I have a 3 day weekend because my provider took tomorrow off and it's so much easier being off when she is. We are down 3 nurses and no one is...

Well, I had a good week at work-so that was a nice change! I still seem to run out of energy by the end of the week, though. Between work and not sleeping real well Friday was tough to get through. 4 days of weights seems to be the best spot for me now. I'd like to do more, and did more from...

Nice to hear you are finally getting some R&R time! I need to find a hiking buddy here. My DH is not into it either-he likes going on the streets and I get that-he doesn't want to fall. But we have so many hiking places where I live. It's so hard fitting in everything you want to do with...

Well have a nice, relaxing time at the condo. It's like having a second home in the mountains-so nice for you guys! Not much new here. I'm thinking of just going back to two upper and two lower weight workouts/week though. Feeling kind of like I either need a change or a week off again-and...

It's been a pretty good week. I was too tired to workout on Tuesday, but got up early on Wednesday to do Leaner Legs from Xtrain Express. Thursday was Back before Chest this time of Burn Sets and Saturday I broke out STS and did #14. Funny thing is it was trisets and it was 10 reps of each...

I started exercising in March of 1986. I had broken my ankle in a car accident that year and the doctor told me to either swim or take up jogging or I would have a limp for the rest of my life. Well, I took up jogging. But I did not really like it that much so I went to the gym at my college...
