Thanks, Joni! I give you alot of credit for working on the elimination process- that can be very frustrating. I know from experience, dude. LOL ;) Good luck with your new approach- it sounds like a smart and well-balanced one. :) I'll keep on strivin' if you will. Connie :D PS...

1. I just finished a big task that I've had looming over me for the past couple days. Feels great for it to be done with! 2. Feeling like I'm in synch with my nutritional plan (I don't like using the word diet- lol) in a freshed and natural way. 3. I'm thankful to have this awesomely...

Good morning, I'm proud to be able to say! Today I woke up at a decent hour- yesss! lol :P I'm feeling DOMSy again today, so I'm going to depart from the Aug 04 schedule today and do Kathy Smith's Kickboxing + Ab work today. I'll pick up the Aug rotation again tomorrow. Yesterday I did...

Jes! I've missed this post while we've both been gone! Thanks for reviving it! :) M1: 1/3c oatmeal, 2/3 c blueberries, 4 oz vanilla soymilk, 4 egg whites, 1/3 of a yolk M2: Salmon and Garbanzo in ww pita, BIG salad with homemade honey mustard Snack: GeniSoy bar (after my workout I was...

Hi Joni! Yes, I'm still working on increasing my calories. I've added in an average of 200 calories a day- bringing me up to 1800-1900 a day. However, I've been focusing more on re-organizing my macronutrients. I went from 50-52% carbs to 45-47% carbs; 20-22% to 28-30% protein; and 30-32% to...

Last week was a big jumble of emotions, unclean eating and no exercise while I helped a friend deal with a major life choice. I will admit that at times I enjoyed the unclean eats, not to mention the alcohol. LOL Yet it felt very foreign to me- not naughty like it used to when I took a single...

Desi, As someone who has lost alot of weight and many inches over the past 3 years, I commend and applaud your attitude. I would be frustrated to the point of kickboxing someone if they kept bugging me about my weight or "diet". Improving my health is so much deeper than a "diet" or what the...

Wow, Angel! I think this qualifies you for genius! :P I'm going to try this ASAP. Connie

Oooo, I am lovin' this idea! Thanks for sharing! Now to find a store around here that sells black soybeans....just might have to wait to go to Wild Oats again. ;) Connie

Afternoon greetings one and all! I'm starting to wonder if I should start an afternoon daily check in. I've been a late sleeper this week. LOL :P :7 Today is PUB + 20 minutes of cardio. I'm undecided about WHAT cardio I'll do. I'm feeling a little DOMSy (I like that word Emily :P ) after...

Welcome back, Jes! I'm glad you enjoyed your honeymoon so much. When the food, accomodations and weather all cooperate so well it makes the whole thing even better! :P I'm very impressed with your dedication to the no sweets challenge AND not gaining any weight. You rock!! I bet your husband...

Wishing you a very happy and love-filled birthday, LunaCat! Connie :D

Whoohoooo, and congrats!! I agree with Shelley- YOU are inspiring! :) I think it's wonderful that you're doing Cathe workouts. I started my weight loss journey at 285 pounds and worked my way down to 205 with Kathy Smith and Lesile Sansone. They were great and provided an excellent...

This looks like a good place for a confession. I have failed miserably with the June No Sweets challenge. The month started out pretty well, but went down the tubes last week while I was helping a friend deal with some life choices. Sooo, I'm placing my vote for another No Sweets Challenge...

Afternoon greetings, fellow exercisers! :) After 1 full week of not exercising, I'm diving back in. I didn't intend for last week to be a "rest" week, but I think it just might end up being a good thing. All things happen for a reason, right? ;) A friend needed me and she was more important...

I'm off to Six Flags over Georgia early in the morning! Yippie!! I'm very excited about this long weekend trip- just me and 1 of my sisters. I'm looking forward to the rides, but more so the time we'll get to spend together- just us. We don't get enough of that anymore. I'm going to stick to...

Whoohooo, Jane! Great HR numbers! Those are similar to my numbers when I do Reebok: Intense Moves. :P It's so cool that your HRM shows you how many calories you burned up! Connie :D

Wow, Debbie, that's awesome!! WhooHOOOO!! I just saw the KPC Ab section for the first time today, and I just sat and stared at the screen- I couldn't believe it! Whoa! Amazing!! :) *big thumbs up* Connie :D

Today the original rotation calls for Kickbox (cardio only), which is Week 1 Day 6. I don't have that w/o, so I'm doing FitTV's version of KPC and LoMax. This is the second time I'm doing this rotation, and I'm really enjoying it. I feel strong!! I haven't done my workout yet today...so...

I know for sure that 2 of us are doing this rotation- anyone else? Where are you in the rotation? How's it going? What was the best part of your workout today? Connie :D
