Rhea - so glad to see you :D!!! I know what you mean, I think going list-less can make you just as busy :p! But usually w/ more enjoyable things, IMHO ;).

Tracy - He'd not be my friend, either :p! What a silly suggestion :eek:! Are you other ladies okay ????? Long time no see :(!!!!!!!!! Hope you're both well!

Tracy - I do pretty good on the uppers but for some reason, the biceps - normally my 'easiest' body part - just wipe me out and I can't go as heavy as I normally do :(. Especially on the concentration curls. I just don't get it :eek:! And then last week I thought the triceps work wasn't much (I...

There seem to be several places that celebrate Christmas in July. I know they have a Christmas party for the Park employees (Yellowstone) around this time. Personally, if we're celebrating the true reason for the season, I'm fine w/ celebrating it all year long :D!

Tracy - So glad you're "employed" again! No - it is NOT football time yet! Please.... you sound like my sister ;)! Rhea - Don't say that too loudly 'cause you know it IS right around the corner the way time flies :eek:!

Here is the new thread for the 3rd qtr :).

Hey, gang, can you believe we're in the 3rd qtr :eek:????? Mercy me.... Hope you're all staying cool out there :)!

(((Tracy!!!))) Don't you wish we had the kind of hours the legislature works :p? Talk about a 2-day work week and a 5-day weekend ;)!

Melinda - I am so sorry about your back struggle! One thing that helped me a LOT was to get a lumbar pillow . My one doc noticed I didn't have any normal curve in my lower spine, probably from so many years of hunching forward while I'm sitting/walking. Anyway, I got a cushion for my office...

Hey, Rhea - Happy Birthday!!!!! I know it's not until tomorrow (Fri) but wanted to catch ya if I could before the party began :p :D!

Tracy - How sweet of DH :cool:!!! Sounds like a wonderful time! I like that the new series is 40 - 45 min per workout :). I did see in Cathe's newsletter the description of "intermediate" - but I'm sure we can kick it up a notch if need be ;). I haven't done any of the 'older' workouts in...

Melinda - Great to see you :D :D :D! Huh - I didn't see a description of what kind of person likes intermediate - guess I should go read it now that I've ordered :o... For me, I adapt every workout I do so I figure I can make these harder if needed - or just do them as is on a day I'm not...

Hey Tracy - hopefully you'll get here before Sunday but even if you don't, I want to wish you a Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!!!

Rhea - That is quite a dilemma - bless you for being so thoughtful of her fragile condition!!!! But what a conundrum - you're trying to protect her but it appears the job and/or life is too stressful for her to do the job. Oh for the wisdom of Solomon, huh???? Melinda - Are you okay...

Talk about asking and receiving ;)! I realize the new series is intermediate but I figure w/ Cathe, that's enough :D! Besides, it has LI cardio so I couldn't resist :p! Tracy - Well, there is at least the benefit of the workout of getting everything strapped on and hefted up :p! Not just kind...

Rhea - I definitely think that's a lot of weight! I've maxed out at 54# (using dumbbells - I don't have a barbell). Any time I've tried more than that, I've strained my hernia getting them hefted up and then I'm miserable for weeks. I see Cathe picking up 35# dumbbells and I'm just dumbstruck at...

Rhea - Wow - you are rocking on those weights!!!!! Jeez - you make me feel like a wimp :p! And no, getting pinned under your weights is not a good thing at all - besides which, DH would probably wonder around the house totally oblivious to your situation while he was wondering where you were ;)...

Rhea - I look forward to a new series but unlike you and Tracy, I only use Cathe so it's not so overwhelming for me ;). That Tabata is tough - and that's even w/ me making it low impact :eek:! If you want your thighs and butt to hurt for day, do those frog jumps in Tab 1 - OUCH!!!!!!!!!!

Tracy - We knew you could do it AND stick with it :D!!!!! The only one surprised is you ;)! Yup the last 3 are my faves. The older ones were good for a long time but now I'm really liking the shorter workouts :cool:. I hope her next series is like XT, LIS and RWH (not that other non-named series...

Oh my gosh, Rhea, you are on a roll, girl :D!!!!! I agree w/ the wts but I've also found the "total body cardio" like the ones in LIS (not so much XT) and RWH - the ones w/ all the burpees and dragging PU that I whine about ;) - and even boxing - help immensely, too. Now if I'd just eat like I...
