    Bikini Countdown 4/13 & stress hormone Qusetion

    Good almost afternoon everyone! Well Brenda, I joined you on the ME yesterday but skipped any cardio. I didn't start until nearly 9:30pm last night and and I just wasn't feeling HIIT at 10:30pm! So you can do HIIT on consecutive days? Let me know how your workout went. Lisa, I don't know...

    To all my Christian Cathe friends.....

    I am rejoicing with you, too! When God reveals something to us it is a benchmark in our lives to go from "glory to glory". Those type of things we can't make happen in and of ourselves. I aggree with Maggie...write it down so she can boast in the Lord whenever the enemy would try to make her...

    Bikini Countdown 4/12

    Yep, Lisa, coming home is always nice. We were gone for only two days but it felt like a week! Plus we came home with twice as much stuff as we went with...mostly candy and presents! The candy isn't calling to me too loudly and as long as I have some sort of low-fat, reduced-sugar snack in...

    Bikini Countdown - Easter Weekend Edition

    A quick hello from my parent's house. Gotta go check on the stuff in the oven...for some reason I have become the offical menu planner but everyone pitches in. Visiting our old church was great...always lovely to see long-time friends and meet new people. Everyone should be arriving...

    Bikini Body 4/9

    Oh, I see. I'm a homeschool mom, so even though I'm home messes still accumulate! 3 boys equal many LEGOS, dirt, piles of clothes, etc. and I don't get it all done everyday. I don't want to minimize your very busy schedule since I can't relate to it, but I hope you are a bit encouraged by...

    Physician, Heal Thyself

    I read that article this morning in my local paper. You're right...exercise was not mentioned except for "increasing activity" or something like that. I have a physician in my family with a 200+ cholesterol count but figures he doesn't need to do anything about it until he's 50! What...when...

    Bikini Body 4/9

    Good morning (it's still morning for me) everyone! Yesterday I tried to do some form of HIIT after CTX UB...I did the IMAX Blast Mania. I'd never used that premix before and it was tough to not have the extended "rest" during the mini-step routines. I nearly gave up after #7, then thought I...

    BIkini BOdy 4/8

    Well, I don't have a treadmill at home, but I could try it spinning. I'll definately try it at the Y next week. Thanks for sharing your workout. You and my buddy are the same in that you do weighted work first and then cardio. My bod just isn't up for weights after cardio so I always lift...

    BIkini BOdy 4/8

    Hey to everyone. PLB yesterday and my legs are feeling every step! Today will be CTX UB Split with some cardio...probably 30" of intervals. Brenda--how are you incorporating HIIT? My spinning DVDs have some sets in them that are akin to HIIT (and I'm dying at the end!). Thanks for the web...

    What to do with used shoes?? Help!

    I use a consignment store. If my shoes are white (usually) I run them through the wash with a bit of bleach and put the original liners back in (I use Spenco liners instead of what the shoes come with). I get 40 percent and I don't have to concern myself with selling them. It's worked out...

    Bikini Count down 4/7

    The kids are outside playing, so I thought I'd see what's happening. Hi to Joy and Tracy...I've only been checking in with you all for about 2 weeks now so it's nice to "meet" you. Today will be PLB and abs. Yesterday was more than I expected it to be! DH and I conquered 25 miles biking...

    Bikini Count down 4/6

    Brenda, I just read your bit about the bad-boyfriend chocolate relationship. LOL...seriously, I was! If I had the whole world of desserts to choose from, it would be chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. Don't garnish it with raspberries or a sprig of mint. I'm a purist! CinDee

    People's biggest excuses!

    I didn't read the whole thread, but the one that comes to mind (other than "Time") is "I don't like to sweat". Yep, I've heard it! CinDee

    Bikini Count down 4/6

    Good afternoon everyone. Lisa, glad your son is doing well! And that your meds kicked in for you. BodyMax upper body wipes me out 'cause it is so fast-paced. Good for you! luvs2bfit--your own personal martial arts instructor! Cool! Brenda--just think of all the extra calories your...

    Bikini Countdown 4/5

    Quick post...I was going to workout yesterday, but DH and I were fighting a sore throat and were just so tired from the time change. Oh well. I ate well (for me!) to compinsate. Today was PUB (minus abs due to time) and CTX S&I with SB Challenge at the end. That was much more tough than I...

    Bikini Countdown (aka Bikini Body) wknd ed.

    Posting late, too. Thanks for reminding me about Daylight Savings, Shywolf...I just went and changed all my clocks. I was going to do SB today, but my neighbor called and we went for a 4 mile walk. The weather was GORGEOUS today. 75 degrees! It had to have been 60 or 65 when we walked this...

    Bikini Body April/02

    Brenda, sorry I didn't answer your question from yesterday (I am seeing that I need to read all of the posts before checking in!) about the bikini. I ordered it from J Crew. The Gap has some cute ones on-line, too. I always get the brief-style bottoms (stretchmarks!) and a string-style top...

    Bikini Body April/02

    I'm still a bit sore, but not as much as yesterday. Today will be PS BBA and a walk with my neighbor if her workday doesn't extend too long. An easier day will be welcome! DH wants to hit the road biking Sat. or Sun., so the other day will probably be tough cardio...maybe another interval or...

    Bikini Body - 4/1 check-in

    I took a look at Cathe's April rotation, but I'm gonna stick with the M&F Hers rotation (well, my version of it anyway!). Yesterday was PS CST with IMAX 2 and I am soooo sore. My legs are still feeling Mon. workout, too. Today I'm planning to do KPC, possibly the leg circuit premix, but we'll...
