Oh my goodness I am cracking up and astounded all at the same time. DH swears he ate some of that stuff...the fish balls look especially familiar to him...no lie! My personal favorites are the toast-instead-of-tortillas recipies. I'm so glad a grew up eating the real, from scratch tortillas my...
Hi all! Last week I took it pretty easy. I haven't done anything since Thursday except walk all over a water park with the boys on Saturday. It was over 100 degrees! The low 80s this week will be much better!
Now I feel rested and motivated after and easy week so I'm wanting to hit it...
Sabine...congratulations on your past year! Circumstances will always change but we do have choices as to how we deal with it and who we turn to for advice. I am truly sorry you had to endure any "dark days", but I'm impressed at the choices you were able to make amid the darkness. Exercise...
You all are so awesome! Thanks for your interest and encouragement in my little escapade. It is now Wed. and my quads are still a little bit sore. Yesterday I did SB and it took well into the second combo for my legs to not hurt! Tomorrow I'll hit the bike and see what happens. DH and I are...
Congratulations on your truly special day. You prove it can be done...a lot of mental and emotional strength and endurance as well as physical, but possible!
God's blessings to you today and the years to follow.

RE: Congratulations!
Thanks, Debra. Also, thanks for the advice you gave to Christine since I can sponge off of that! DH and I will be doing a century this fall (we just decided!:D ) so I have something to shoot for. Today I did a short ride and it hurt! However the legs feel better now...I...
Hi everyone!
Since we're doing a weeks worth of posts, I can only guess as to what I'll do. Last weekend was the ride (I posted about it elsewhere) so today was a recovery day. I road an easy 9 miles and then did the Supersets upper body premix. Tomorrow I think I'll do SB for some dancy...
Thanks, Laurie. I definately couldn't have done it solo and I am very grateful to our little group. As for saddle sore...my butt never hurt! Other areas, yes. Another thing I love is chamois creme!

Hey Christine! I don't know about training too much...DH bought me a bike last fall, but I didn't start concentrating on biking until late March-ish since DH had signed us up for a 100k in early June (giving me something to train for). Spinervals helped tremendously in terms of endurace...
I promised some people from the Summer blast check-in that I'd let you know how last weekend went...
DH, my bro-in-law, a friend and myself did the Seattle to Portland with 8,000 other riders this past weekend (it was sold out!). It was a sea of people and bikes! There were kids (8 years...
Since I haven't posted in a few days I thought I'd open this puppy up today! Tomorrow is the big day! We're all excited...it's just gonna be fun. This week has been pretty light for me...
Mon: Upper and lower body premixes from HSTA, then the cardio from HSTA, and abs from Timesaver...
Hi everyone. I didn't do anything yesterday as we had a houseful of family, and church...yummy Thai food for dinner, though! Tonight DH and I are going to hit some hills. Today will be my last hard day before this weekend.
Gotta run, checkin' in later!

Yea!! I just finished a 3 hour Spinervals (Tough Love)...I am spent but so happy I finished it! I didn't do all of the standing stuff he (the coach, Troy Jacobsen) had in there and my cadence was often below his suggestions, but I tried to come close and I'm just happy to have not given up...
It might break 75 degrees today! I can't imagine 94 at noon. That happens once in a great while here.
Yesterday I did Spinervals Uphill grind. 45 minutes of tough, but to thoroughly fry my legs I added on the lower body premix from HSTA. All those leg presses are brutal, especially after...
Hi everyone. Today is DH birthday so we're all going to meet him for lunch since today is his long work day and that rules out dinner. Later I plan to spin since the weather is possibly rainy. It'll probably be a Spinervals hill workout. Yesterday was the first half of Spinervals "Have...
RE: DVD brands that HAVE NOT had problems with Cathe's ...
I play all my Cathe DVDs on the kids' playstation. A few of my discs began to freeze...I contacted SNM and they said they'd gladly exchange them but to try cleaning the discs and the player. DH did both and I've had no problems. It...
Hi everyone! I haven't pre-ordered yet, although I want to. I think DH wants me to wait until the end of the presale before prices go up. That's okay as long as I get them! My good friend at church has already ordered...we were yacking it up about them after service yesterday.
Today DH...
I've never used the blender, but I LOVE the premixes...absolutely invaluable! Rarely do I do a workout as produced. I agree with whoever said, "Don't go backward." Your stuff is well worth the wait, cost, etc. Premixes, please!

Today is my eldest son's 12th birthday! He chose Chinese food and Baskin Robbin's for dinner tonight...no ice cream for me and very little dinner! Tomorrow is his party with all of his friends (sleep over!:o ), Sat. is a minor league baseball game with lots of friends (fun!), and the Fourth is...
I've hardly checked in, either...the past 10 days or so have been non-stop. This week is still busy with birthdays and the Fourth, but I will definately have more time for Cathe and biking than I did last week!
Well, I worked out last night, but the time before that was a week ago Tuesday...
