Good afternoon. Kathy, I went back to other posts but somewhere along the line I missed the situation with your mom. I, too, send you a hug and a prayer. Glad Michael, Lisa, and Sabine are feeling better! Pinky, the Powerbars come in handy, don't they? They really digest quickly...

Wow...what a great trip! I can't believe you kept up with such a great workout schedule while on vacation! Now I want to go back to Mexico...:-) DH and I did a 23 mile bike ride last Fri. and we've improved our average speed, and DH is really improving on the hills. It's like he became...

Good afternoon! It has been GORGEOUS here in the great Pacific Northwest...70s and 80s! I'm praying it'll hold through next week. Yesterday was zip since I didn't have time until 10pm and that was just too late. Today DH and I are going to hit the road, but not until early evening since it...

I've been biking and spinning regularly since late winter/early spring to cross-train, work out with DH, and prepare for long-distance cycling. Lately I've been riding 3 times a week, doing one Cathe cardio, and one or two endurance total-body weighted workouts (ME or PH). My weight is...

Good Morning Everyone! The next two weeks are really busy for me, but I'm going to try to keep at least 3 or 4 workouts in with 2 of those being cycling. This week I know I'll do it, but next week is packed, so I'm just going to do the best I can. Yesterday was nothing...I was baking...

Good morning everyone. Actually late morning! DH and I are about ready to hit the road, but I thought I'd get the weekend edition started since I haven't been the first to post in a while. I'll check back later. BTW, it's always comforting to know others love, crave, must have chocolate...

Ahhh, sweets. My downfall or joy, depending on how you look at it. I, too, ate too many sweets yesterday (cookies, candy, etc.) so I decided today I have to bake! But when I bake it's whole wheat and reduced fat/sugar so it's much better for me since I'm going to need a snack anyway. I am...

Hi everyone. Yesterday DH, my bro-in-law and myself completed a metric century bike ride! 60 miles! I was REALLY nervous but it went great. I definately need to work on my hill climbs before the big ride in July...my bro-in-law has lost around 20 pounds and just spanked me on the hills, and...

Good afternoon, everyone. Yesterday I worked in my yard and then did a 17 mile bike ride. I focused on keeping my cadance (pedal movement) higher as I went up hills and I practiced drinking while riding. It was actually drinking while coasting! Balancing the bike, taking a sip and pedaling...

Thank you so much for all the advice! Debra, going with how my legs feel and not sacrificing bike time is what I think will work the best. Monday I did 90 minutes of Have Mercy and last night was Gauntlet...my legs really felt the weight! I thought about adding in PLB later this week, but...

HI Suzanne and welcome! Lisa, glad you're feeling better, and I hope Michael is too! Sounds like everyone had a fun weekend. Gotta go...time for the YMCA! CinDee

Welcome back, Brenda! Sounds like Vegas was an indulgent break! I had a hard time getting my eating under control after coming back from vacation, too, and I REALLY liked not working out! Last week I just forced myself to, but this week I've felt energized and motivated. Thank you for...

Thanks, Venus. It's helpful to know what others are doing. I'm still not sure how to work it in. This past week I biked T/Th/Sat with Sat being 90 min. One of the workouts uses only the largest gear so you're really grinding it out, so it's a resistance workout of sorts but definately...

You're not crazy at all! I usually finish working out by 10:30-11pm most days and I never have problems falling asleep. After a hot shower and a cup of tea I'm barely awake. Working out at night keeps me from munching at night since I'm up 'til 11pm or midnight whether I workout or not, so...

Na, my prayers are with you, too. I can't relate to what you're going through, but I can say that I admire you for getting through it at all and still wanting to regain your strength and fitness. Please don't lose hope...you have done everything you could do to fight the cancer and heal from...

I asked once before about how to fit in lower body weighted work with biking/spinning, but now I've increased my biking/spinning to 3-4 days per week in prepartion for some long-distance rides and my legs get sore! Can I safely lift the day of or day after a tough ride (which they all are...are...

I checked in late last night as yesterday was quite busy for me, too. I'm feeling PUB from two days ago more than I did yesterday...anybody else get the 2DOMS? Today will probably be nothing since the fam and a couple of friends are coming over and we're BBQ-ing carne asada (yum!). I've been...

This is REALLY late (11 p.m. my time!) and all of you are asleep (you, too, Pinky...I hope!). Today was another Spinervals workout, tomorrow will be PLB and HIIT. We'll see how I feel since I'm working my legs so much with the spinning. Circuit might be better for already tired legs. I...

Good Morning! My legs, especially the hams and lower glutes, are feeling yesterday's spin...a nice sore that tells me I worked. Today will be PUB and HIIT with BC or IMAX. Sabine, I know the excitement! I wish I had hyperspace so I could go spend a day in Puerto Vallarta and then be home...
