Greetings fellow Challengers! :) Shelley- Whoohoooo, great job yesterday! Hope you're over the worst part of PMS for this go round. Kali- You did great yesterday, too!! I bet you've got yourself set up mentally for a terrific no-sweets or salty snacks with lots of water. ;) Judy-...

Debbie, Butternut squash is my favorite veggie! They cook up very nicely and quickly in the microwave. Cut them in half, take out the pulp and seeds, and place them in a glass casserole dish. Put about an inch or so of water in the bottom and cover with plastic wrap. Nuke on MEDIUM for 6- 12...

Wishing you a happy birthday, waterlily! I hope you're able to celebrate you in a special way today, if only for a little way. Once the hurricane clean-up is over and your life settles down a bit, maybe you can celebrate "proper" with your sister- and celebrate your anniversary. You can treat...

Today I start my first ever detox, and I'm psyched about it. I've been reading about detoxes (is that spelled right? lol) off and on for awhile, and I've always been interested but just haven't gotten the herbs and foods together to do one before now. I'm following the 3 day Detox from Natural...

Hi everyone, Once again I win the prize for last post in this thread! *blush* :P Yesterday I did PLB pyramid down only + the floor work + 86 walking lunges. I was able to bang out 10 more walking lunges than last time. Whoohooo! :D Today CTX upper + Body Fusion is on the schedule, but...

Oh yes, Shelley, I agree being a girl is just SO much fun. (I'm being sarcastic.) Having a period is such an inconvienence!! x( Today is my sister's birthday and we're going out for lunch to celebrate. Red Lobster- one of my favs! :) For dessert, she wants to go to a place downtown that has...

Mornin' all, I really enjoyed KPC yesterday- I'm starting to get into it's groove. Now I'm debating what my next Cathe DVD should be- KPC/L&G or C&W/Imax2. Hmmmm. I'll probably get more use out of C&W right now. Wouldn't it be cool if you could order a customized DVD with 2 workouts of your...

Hi Sparrow, Thanks for the encouragment and support about my rant. :) Congrats on all of your mindful successes over the weekend! It's really cool when we get to see this stuff really effect someone- especially Mom. ;) I tried to draw a couple of different people out in conversation...

So far so good on my No Sweets challenge. I feel like I've got alot of momentum going for me this month. By George, I think I just might be able to pull this off. Yippie! I did allow myself 1 brownie during my parent's 4th BBQ. Mom was looking out for me though- she made them partly with...

I've got a healthy pizza idea for you. I've found these reduced-carb whole wheat roll ups at the grocery store and discovered that they make excellent pizza crusts. The sodium is pretty reasonable, and it's got a good amount of protein. For the sauce- take a can of no-salt added tomato...

Hi Missy- I don't think there's any weakness in enjoying a special dessert to celebrate the 4th. ;) I bet you say no to many less-than-healthy foods each day, but perhaps you don't realize it anymore. Healthy and clean eating is progression, I think. Look how far you've come- and give yourself...

Congrats on those walking lunges, and for surviving BC!! Way to go, buddy!! Connie :D

Mornin' everyone! :) Cardio Kicks + Abs is on the rotation for today, but since I don't have that w/o I'm subbing KPC (the FitTV version). I'm excited about it!! I enjoy kickboxing, but I have trouble keeping my form and just generally keeping up when the tempo picks up. KPC seems to be a...

Thank you, Lunacat! :) Usually I love to workout, but my period has got me feeling very lethargic and unmotivated. But, thanks to the awesome support and advice from this forum, I completed my workout. Once I got going, I forgot about my lethargy. :P Wellll, I did skip cardio for today. I'll...

Thank you, Katie, that does help! My revised plan is to do L&G standing leg only. :P I'll probably end up doing the floor work, too though. Thanks again, Connie

Hola Lunacat, I have a couple huevo ideas for you, but they are pretty boring. You could hard boil some and make egg salad sandwiches. Do you eat the yolks? If not, you can freeze just the whites for up to 6 months (I'm pretty sure it's 6 months...). I don't think the yolks freeze very well...

to get going on my workout for today! I'm feeling unmotivated and a tad frustrated. I've been wearing my workout clothes for hours and just haven't had the "umpf" I need to get going.....blah blah blah. Anyone out there? Connie

Well, this weekend turned out to be a wicked time to focus on my listening skills and maintaining a positive attitude while with my family. Saturday my stepdad was crabby and he & my mom were unhappy with each and not communicating well. As a result everyone's plans got messed up, and everyone...

Good afternoon, everybody! :) My workout schedule is a bit off this week, because I ended up having to take 2 days off in a row over the weekend. My family couldn't get everyone's schedules together and as a result I had to spend the night at my sister's house in the city (I live in the...

Hello everyone! I'm very proud and happy to be able to say that I stuck to my No Sweets challenge all through the long weekend. :D Yippie!! I've got my resolve screwed in tight this month. ;) I agree with Shelley- it's a fresh day, and we're going to do ourselves proud. Connie
