Balagas!!! I got them at the running store and I have to wrest them away from my son when they come out of the dryer, he loves them too. They are so soft and cushy and no scratchy seams. I like them better than Thorlos.

Laurie, if you like the dancy moves like hopping in a circle, you would LOVE Kari Anderson's Sweat Express workout. It is an absolute blast. She has that move on steroids! She is a fantastic teacher, too. She used to be a ballet dancer and you will feel like a dancer too. But you'll...

Frozen bananas are a staple at my house. My son and I use them for our breakfast smoothies. I find it is best to peel the bananas, but you don't really need to cut them up first before placing them in a ziptop bag and freezing. When they come out of the freezer, they are usually soft...

Thanks for the tip! Collage turned out to be cheaper because of the free shipping. :) Karen

Yes, that is helpful! From looking at your response and Clare's, the split might actually work better for me. I am willing to give it a try with more weight, less cardio! Here are the videos that I have: Strength: Supersets, Push and Pull, Legs and Glutes, Butts and Guts, and the Pump...

Clare-- Thanks for the good advice! I had seen the threads on more lifting, less cardio but figured that would only work for all of you here who are already in great shape! I do enjoy both strength and cardio, so changing things around will be fun. I MAY even venture into 4DS sooner...

Hi, Everyone--- I want to thank you all for being so encouraging and let you know that everything is going really well, I have been amazed at the progress I've made in the past month! KPC is a piece of cake now, and I'm up to 25 lbs on the bar, after starting with nothing (just the 5 lb...

Hi, Debbie-- AWESOME!!! Congratulations not only on matching Cathe, but getting such great results! That is fantastic. You are also my hero and my inspiration: I just received 4DS and have not had a chance to try it yet-- now I can't wait to do it, and I hope I get the same great...

Hi, Vicki-- I didn't see your earlier post about cold sores, but you have my heart-felt sympathies. I am a long-time fellow sufferer. My personal belief is if anyone is looking for proof positive that there is evil in the Universe, cold sores are it, look no further, LOL! They HURT...

I'm behind the wave, as usual! I just ordered some new dvds (woohoo!!) and realized I need that green stretchy torture device. Suggestions on where to get the kind needed for 4DS?

I was so embarrassed recently because I went to Urgent Care and the nurse practitioner asked me to lift up my shirt so she could examine my abdomen and she frowned and said, "Wow! Have you lost a lot of weight recently or what?" Yes, I too am 45 and have saggy belly. And yes, I lost 70 lbs-- 2...

Thanks, Cathy! I love your animation. It's kind of like my life right now.... LOL! Cheers! :) Karen

Thanks, jodijodi! It's good to know I'm not the only one who dreads them. LOL, I WISH they were lunches! :) Karen

Thanks, Beth! Our barbells may be light, but they are righteous! And we shall prevail! Congrats on coming back after a year away! We'll be lifting like Cathe in no time! Right???:7 Cheers! -Karen

Hi, tneah! Thanks for the encouragement. Odd... you just named the other exercise I really hate, leg presses! And SJP is blessedly free from them. Leg presses remind me of the old Firm days working out with the robot women... jmho! Here's to wo heaven! :) Karen

Hi, Debbie!! I remember reading your wonderful, inspirational posts way back when! You know, this is so sad, but I cannot remember my old screen name. I didn't post much. Keep on dancing! :) Karen

Hi, Amelia! You're gonna LOVE SJP! The step portion is super fun! Hi-Low is great too. The weight section is really not bad at all. Just those dang lunges! Enjoy SJP! :) Karen

Thanks, Beinda! I'm having a blast! :) Karen

Thanks, Allison! Happy WO! :) Karen

Have you had your back checked out by a doc? There could be something neurological going on there that is also affecting your tolerance for alcohol. Good for you for keeping going with your workouts and eating well most of the time! You should give yourself credit for being so amazing and...
