Hi Sparrow! :) What you said about shyness and attentiveness is very interesting. I've always been a bit shy, and remember reading about having a comment ready "to go" also. Perhaps you've hit the nail on the head- this technique which is supposed to be helpful and positive for our shyness...

Hi Lunacat, I think that we're allowed 1 day of forgetfulness. Fresh start tomorrow, ok. ;) Your post made me literally laugh out loud- thank you for that! If I ate a salted donut I'd probably cure any donut cravings I might have lingering in my soul. :P :9 Connie

Whoohooo, Shelley!! Congrats on losing those 3 pounds- and during TTOM to boot! Awesome!! :) Connie

Two days of No Sweets and all is well. PMS is starting to creep up on me...but I am determined to be strong! I'm using sugar free bubble gum to zap any sweets cravings. By the end of the month I will have jaws of steel. :P Connie

Hi Sparrow, how are you? I get so frustrated when I find myself out of those kinds of habits. I figure that my philosophy about healthy eating and exercise applies here too- every meal, workout, and other positive thing in my life counts every single time I do. If it's important enough to...

Logos- That is really cool! Thank you for sharing that with us! :) I've been working on building a habit to meditate as soon as I wake up and right before I go to sleep. Your post motivates me! Who knows maybe all the posiitve energy we're creating and sustaining will make some cool stuff...

Happy 4th of July weekend, everyone! Today I did HSC-intermediate + the extra Abs section. I was able to use the same step height as Cathe in just about everything this time (the second time doing this w/o), and upped the weight for upper body in most exercises. Felt incredible! Cathe's...

Thanks, Jane! I absolutely love it when the hotel has online access! It's SO cool!! I read your post about doing 110 walking lunges and KPC. WOW! I'm truly impressed. You rock, woman! I was thinking about you when I was doing my first walking lunges yesterday, you were my motivation. My...

Laura, Assignment accepted! }( BUT, I'll have to work up to it and save up to buy the DVD. :P It's so cool that you're a PT! That must a really fun and rewarding career. I am looking very forward to the day that I can successfully (and by that I mean withouth passing out) complete IMax2-...

Congrats, tallchick!! I just love how quickly our bodies build up endurance and strength. Of course, Cathe's workouts play a big role in that too. hehe ;) Connie

Thanks, Pinky! Mind over matter, indeed, with a touch of patience and tenacity. ;) Connie

It really is an awesome high, Kali, I agree!! :) Whoohooo for both of us!! :) Connie

Ok, here I go.....x( :P 1. No Sweets for the month- except for 1 serving of something desserty on the 4th and the 7th which is my sister's birthday. This includes all baked goods, ice cream, and candy. 2. Get at least 3 Core workouts in each week. 3. Lose another 2 pounds and/or 1/2"...

Today I decided to brave Imax2, the FitTv version. The last time I did this work out, about 6 weeks ago, I really struggled with the choreography and the aerobic endurance through the intervals. Today I truly amazed myself, and I enjoyed every sweat-drenched minute of it! :) I caught on to the...

Greetings one and all! Happy Canada Day! And Happy 4th of July weekend! Hope everyone enjoys their long weekends! :) Yesterday I did PLB + walking lunges, and a segment of Core Max (my first time and I really liked it!), and 15 minutes of StretchMax. I was able to up my weight in a few of...

Hi Sandra, I enjoy Step Heat, and always chuckle when Cathe says "looks hot". ;) It's a fun workout. Qigong is a branch of Traditional Chinese Medicine. It's made up of simple and flowing movements to stimulate and balance your qi, which is your vital energy. Gong is translated to...

Wonderful news!! What a relief! :) Connie

Hi Sparrow, I, too, find myself listing my complaints way too often. That's part of the reason I'm working on approaching my life more mindfully. I've always been someone who thinks the glass is half empty...that's changing though. ;) Talking with people who are spiritually minded helps so...

Katie, that's too funny! LOL I can't wait to be able to buy some DVDs with premixes!!!!! :) Thanks for sharing that with me! Connie :D
