I do...only because I guarantee I look that way A LOT w/ some of Cathe's WO.

Hi everyone. I'm in Week 10 of the challenge. While I haven't managed to make much progress in the weights & measures department, I HAVE managed to regain some of the motivation that I'd gradually lost over the years. I've really enjoyed participating in this group - any takers for a repeat...

Lori, the good thing about a batch of teeth coming all at once is that they're DONE for awhile. I hated where we would get one a week for a month...no sleep for mama!:)

I cook it in chicken broth and then add a chopped apple when the liquid is almost gone. Steams the apple and makes the rice yummy! In a pinch you can do what my DH does - mix unsweetened applesauce directly into the rice. Same effect, but quicker.

Becca, I was ROFL @ your Princess Bride reference. That's one of my all-time favorite movies. I remember feeling just like you are when I was doing my first Cathe rotation. The good news is that you will be noticeably stronger @ the end of the rotation. I saw the recipe, will copy it to my...

Good morning everyone. Did BM2 step combos & abs this morning. Wanted to do the UB segments, but didn't have time. I'm usually pretty good about getting UB in during a week so I felt the abs were more important (have I mentioned I HATE abs?). Looking forward to LIS and more abs tomorrow...

Hi everyone. Well, as excited as I was to start the March rotation I slept thru my alarm this morning. So I'll start tomorrow. I was planning to hit a kickboxing class @ the gym on Thursday evening so I can make up the missed WO pretty easily. Becca, I do have LowMax, I could use that or...

I'm planning to do the March rotation, but I don't have any of the IMAXes. Any thoughts on substitutions? I was thinking of just doing some intense cardio (Cardio Fusion, DrillMax cardio only, etc.) - what do you think?

Very late post - I'm guessing that not many will read it, but that's OK. I've been crazy busy since Friday and just haven't had time to stop in here. I did WO yesterday - KPC cardio premix w/ 1lb wrist weights. I was hoping for a little soreness in the arms, but didn't get it...maybe I need...

Andrea, I can relate to not loving a WO - I don't love the 4DS BC that I did today either. Not to say I won't do it - just don't like it that much. I like the original bootcamp much better :-) I let my vegetable garden get overrun w/ strawberries one year when I was pregnant. We have since...

RE: Challenge Cheerleader Checking In and Checking Out Lori, I make a big batch of salad on Sunday evenings and work on it for several days. Just leave out things like tomatoes or mushrooms or more delicate veggies and add those when you're ready to eat the salad. If I didn't do it this way...

Hi everyone! Got up and did the cardio segment from 4DS bootcamp and then Core from 4DS kickbox. I SOOOO didn't want to get up, so this was a big deal for me. Marcia, do you like TurboJam? I've been thinking about getting it. I may also get a couple more Cathe DVDs...need something new...

IMO if you're in a +/- 5lb range around your goal weight I'd say you're there. My weight fluctuates 3lb DAILY.

Hi everyone. Did PUB up premix today. Didn't go heavy enough since I don't even have the beginnings of DOMS yet :-( On the bonus side, I used my "usual" weights, so I must be getting stronger :-) I wanted to do cardio too, but stayed in bed too long. It'll just have to be a killer cardio...

OMG Kath! All those cookies would KILL me! I like PB & chocolate too. I do OK as long as I don't have a taste - once I taste, it's all over :P Marcia, sorry to hear about your coworker. Got up and did CF step only premix today. Didn't feel too coordinated and I was DEAD for the last...

RE: 12-Week Challenge Check-in Hey everyone! Yesterday was my "rest" day - meaning I didn't find time to WO even though I wanted to. SOOOO I made extra sure to get in a good one today - iClimb5 - 40min. Enjoyed this one - the time really flew by! Got new cross-trainers yesterday, so I'm...

Lori, my DH will do things like that - he'll actually do the event (or whatever it is) and then whine for days when he's sore cuz he really wasn't ready. I just decided it's his problem - not mine - and when he whines I just ignore it.

OK, drum roll, please....I ACTUALLY WORKED OUT THIS MORNING! I was awake and instead of just lying there like I have been I did 4DS KB cardio. Still not as much as I'd like, but moving in the right direction. Andrea, I'm seriously waffling on STS. I just don't know that I would really LIKE...

Hi everyone. I've been doing better on food this week (ahem - except for the bagel this morning AFTER I'd eaten my shredded wheat w/ blueberries) but WO not so good. I skiied on Monday, rested yesterday, and sorta wussed out today too although I did do a little yoga to stretch out. Nothing...

Hey everyone. No WO for me today - my mind wants to WO, but my tummy is a bit punky today. I'll make up for it skiing tomorrow anyway LOL. The upside of the punky tummy is that I'm eating CLEAN cuz that's what works. For whoever wants the chocolatey gooey thing (sorry short term memory...
