    Hi, Y'All! I just finished HiiT 30/30 and followed it with Pilates-Inspired Abs from the Ab Circuit DVD. It was killer, and I had to modify some of those high jumps, but I did manage to get a very intense workout anyway. I can hardly wait for the new low impact ones. That will just be...

    Hi, Y'All! Thank you all so much for your kind words of support. It helps me a lot. You ladies are my inspiration. I just finished Disc 15, and wow, am I tired!! Obviously have the right weight selections. Jann, keep the faith. Sometimes I know it is hard, but you are a strong lady...

    Hi, Y'All! I just finished Disc 14 Legs. I wanted to get it done because mil comes tomorrow. Hope everyone is well. You are probably all over on FB. See you there. Have a great evening. Magnolia

    Hi, Y'All! Joan, I hope your anniversary was wonderful! It has been less humid here this weekend as well. Very nice. I wouldn't mind if it stayed this way for a while. HouseMax is also something I need to do as well. MIL coming for a visit Tuesday night & we're taking her out to a...

    Good Morning, Y'All! I got stir-crazy from "resting" (LOL), so I did The Firm Easy Power Walk without the hand weights and I added about ten minutes. Today was the first day cool enough for walking in about a couple of weeks. I probably did not burn very many calories, but I am trying to...

    Good Morning, Y'All! Joan, congratulations on the 55! That's fantastic! Jann, I am sure your house is beautiful. DS called yesterday. He is still in the hospital and did not say when he might be released. He did say that he begins physical therapy August 5. He says he is in less...

    Hi, Y'All! Joan, are they trying to rule out Crohn's? When do you have to see this specialist? Good luck, you know I am praying for you. This is my "active rest" week between Mesocycle 1 & Mesocycle 2. We're going to see mil in the City, so we will be doing some walking if it doesn't...

    Good morning, Y'All! Jann, it sounds as if the heat is getting to you! Stay in the AC, young lady! It's monstrously hot here as well. Having grown up in Ga without air conditioning, I am used to heat and can handle it, but this is horrible! My son called from Germany yesterday to...

    Hi, Y'All! I hope you are all okay. It's a just a little spooky not to hear from anyone. Anyway, I just finished Disc 12 and Mesocycle 1. I think I might walk some next week, that is if we are not having serious heat still. I don't know what it is about STS, but it's motivating for me...

    Hi, Y'All!! I just finished Disc 11, and I noticed during the workout that my left shoulder was more mobile than it has been. I was able to stretch better than I have in a while. Maybe strengthening the muscles around that joint are what I needed to do. Anyway, I'm icing both my shoulder...

    Hi, Y'All. I did some cardio today--floor scrubbing and post-weekend cleaning. Tomorrow, it's on to Disc 11. Have a great evening, everyone! Magnolia

    Hi, Y'All! Jann, enjoy every minute of it! When we get to be grandparents, I think we've earned all the good parts of it. Did Disc 10 today. I have to ice my left shoulder after just about every workout, but I do the best I can. Overhead presses are a problem for me. I can do every...

    Good Morning, Y'All! Sorry I missed yesterday, but I am in the middle of a two-day household workout! Hopefully I can finish it today. Have a great day, everyone! Magnolia

    Hi, Y'All! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BETH!! I hope you are having a fantastic day! I just finished Disc 9, and my legs are cooked!!!! :eek: They are so tired, I don't want to even think about getting up from this couch. Wow. I can't wait for plyo legs. :rolleyes: It has been a nice day here...

    Hi, Y'All! Thanks, Jann, but that's sort of an old picture. I just don't photograph particularly well and haven't changed it yet. I was just thinking it's about time to update. I just finished Disc 8. I really wish I did not have an almost immobile left shoulder. Osteoarthritis...

    Good Morning, Y'All! Thanks, Beth. Not as small as I used to be, but I certainly am stronger than when I started this. Yesterday I was able to get through Disc 7 in less time & more smoothly than the previous workouts. You are continuing to do the STS workouts, even though it is in the...

    Hi, Y'All! I just finished Disc 7. I don't know if I am getting smaller, but I am certainly getting stronger! I was able to keep up better today than when I started this time. There is, however, a very good reason I wait until about 4 pm to do these workouts--if I do them in the morning, I...

    Hi, Y'All! I just finished Disc 6 Legs. I thought it was a little weird that I had to modify a few of the moves, but I could do several of the bonuses. Have a great evening, everyone! Magnolia

    Hi, Y'All! I just did Basic Step, followed by Stability Ball Abs (on the same dvd) and finished with 1 segment of Total Body Stretching. I weighed this morning and I have lost about 1 lb. I'll take it, at least I didn't gain. Hope everyone is well. Have a great evening. Magnolia

    Hi, Y'All! I just finished Disc 5 (31 more to go? :confused:) I used the turbo tower for the first time today. It certainly makes pull ups and chin ups more meaningful than that bar between two chairs I was using!! :eek: Take care, everyone, and have a great evening. Magnolia
