Hi ladies. I hope you had a great week. I did not work out once, but I am completely okay with that ;) It's strange... I ate terribly, and didn't work out, but all my clothes fit better. I think I retain a lot of water when I lift. Anyway, I decided to ease into things slowly today, so I did...

Happy Friday! No workout for me yesterday. I don't think I'm doing anything today either. No real reason, I'd just rather get stuff done around the house and make Christmas cookies with DS. I've pretty much accepted that I'm not going to get in all the workouts I want until after Christmas...

Hi ladies. No workout for me yesterday. Today was NROLW1A. My last "1A" workout of Phase one. Yay! I upped my barbell rows to 70lbs, and my step-ups to 64. I think I'm finally getting better at push ups, too. Brenda- I'm glad you had fun at your party. DH and I decided to skip his work party...

Hello ladies. Sorry I was MIA the last half of the week. I had no workouts Wednesday and Thursday, and forgot to check in on Friday. Friday I did my NROLW workout. Down to 8 reps for each exercise now! I like this much better than the 15 rep workouts at the beginning. Saturday was the first...

Hello! I finally, just now, got my workout in. I did NROLW1B. Went fine. Brenda- I got my tree and decorations finished yesterday. I'm pretty happy with my tree this year, but next year I'd really like to find an old-fashioned, un-sheared one. Heartymax- Mmmmm.... lasagna. :) I want to...

Hi ladies! I had a very nice weekend. Saturday I had an absolutely fantastic workout. It was just my NROLW1A workout, but I felt like a beast :D! I even upped my KB swing finisher to 80 swings instead of 60. Yesterday was my off day. Today I'm still sore, so I just did 4DS HIS for some quick...

Good morning! It's day one of TTOM today. Yuck. I've got that awful heavy, clunky, bloated feeling. I decided to do CTX All Step with no risers. Even modified that way, I still felt pretty uncomfortable during the jumping. Oh well, at least I managed something. Brenda- Yes, DH is very...

Hi ladies. No workout for me yesterday. I had to take the car in to get a leaky tire fixed during my usual workout time, and couldn't get myself out of bed to do it earlier :o Today I did NROLW1B plus I added a finisher of 60 KB swings. Unfortunately, I don't think I can go on the RT unless...

Hi ladies! So, did you hear Cathe's coming back to Wisconsin???? :eek: I would LOVE to go again, but I don't think I can afford it. I've got some mulling over to do until the tickets go on sale :) I had a great Thanksgiving. On Thursday I did two X10 segments and NROLW 1B. Friday I did the...

Hello! I'm taking a day off today so I can get a butt-kicker of a workout in tomorrow, plus I find that I'm more comfortable with 5 days a week lately than 6. Anyway, since I'm not sure I (or anyone else) will be able to check in tomorrow, I wanted to pop in to say Happy Thanksgiving...

Good morning. Today I did the combos only from Imax 3 and NROLW 1A. Felt great. Brenda- I've been crocheting since college, but just recently got more serious about knitting. I'm sitting around doing it all evening anyway, may as well make some gifts :) Exercising when you're sinuses are...

Happy Holiday Week! I had a nice weekend. Saturday night we had a "Grace Group" gathering at our church (our church is named Grace) to plan our small group activities for at least some of the year. It was nice. I'm looking forward to seeing more of the people in our group this year...

Good morning. Sorry I've been MIA the last two days. Tuesday our sewer was being worked on and we couldn't run water. No shower = No workout. Yesterday I could've, but it just got crowded out with other stuff I had to do. Today I did the step from Step, Jump, and Pump, and NROLW 1A. Reps...

Hello, everyone. I hope you had good weekends. Nothing too interesting with us. We had a parent teacher conference on Sunday. DS is doing just fine, though he is lagging a bit in fine motor skills. His teacher doesn't seem concerned though, and says it's very common to see in boys. Friday I...

Good morning and happy Friday! No workout yet today, but I'm in my workout clothes. I still can't shake this cough, and I'm still feeling sore from my new workouts. I think I'm going to do some easy step and see if I want to do anything else after that. Brenda- Sounds like fun! Have a great...

Hi ladies! I forgot to check in yesterday. I did Phase 1B of NROLW. Deadlifts, shoulder presses, pullovers, lunges, and ball crunches. I did a mini made-up hiit workout at the end. I'm taking an extra rest day today. I can't seem to shake this almost-cold that I have and I'm pretty sore, so...

Good morning. I have nice sore hamstrings from yesterday's workout :D I just did Step Blast without the finished product/blast section at the end. I had sort of forgotten how super fun that workout is. Brenda- Glad you liked Flex Train. It's funny, I was thinking that I wanted to spend less...

Hi ladies! I hope you had a great weekend. Nothing much happened with us. We took DS to Train Fest at the state fair grounds yesterday. Saturday I did just the cardio from Cardio and Weights. Sunday was a rest day. Today I did my first New Rules of Lifting for Women (NROLW) workout. It's...

Hello all, and Happy Friday! I just finished Flex Train. I think it was a great workout, but I didn't enjoy it very much. I think I'm just in a mode now where I prefer larger, multi-joint movements instead of doing a ton of reps on one little muscle, like triceps. I'm sure I'll come back to the...

Just checking in to bump our thread to the top, say hi, and to say I'm not working out today. I guess I'm enjoying a lighter week after finishing D2S. And my hairdresser has me convinced to join a gym just to use the weight room :eek: I'm going to check it out in a couple weeks... Have a...
