Good afternoon fellow lovers of fitness! :) Yesterday I stuck with my plan and did L&G then Step Heat segment 1, the funky cool down and a good stretch. It invigorated me! Today will be Reebok: Intense Moves and ABs from Basic Step. Cathy- We're have extreme temps and humidity here in...

I worked out later than usual today...but it was an awesome workout!! I know it's pretty late, but I just had to share. Today I did Leg & Glutes followed by the first segment and cool down from Step Heat. It was invigorating, and it blasted me out of the funk I had been in. Kicking...

My very first Cathe rotation- and first time consisently doing Cathe w/os- was the one from August 2004, fat loss and legs. I took my measurements this morning and was very pleasantly surprised! I lost 7 INCHES in the last 4 weeks!! :D :P :D I am beyond thrilled!! By way of comparison, I had...

Funny, I hear the voices when I'm out of the house. :P I was out of the house all day yesterday. However, I resisted eating any sweets. Whoohooo!! I'm feeling strong, and I'm liking the momentum I've got built up. We're all doing so terrific! Almost half way thru June...we can do it...

I'm going to do L&G today, too! I'll send you lots of good vibes, ok? ;) Yesterday was Step Heat (it finally came, and I really like!) and PLB floor work, 10 minutes walk to mailbox, and then StretchMax. Today: L&G then 20 minutes of hi/lo cardio...then later this afternoon with be...

Thanks for posting these, Jes! I'm going to start posting up in this thread, it's like a journal swap. I love to journal swap! hehe ;) I welcome any comments and constructive criticism, as always. :) 6/10 Friday Meal 1: vanilla soymilk, egg whites, little bit of walnuts, about half a yolk...

Norma, you're butting in at all! I love to hear what other people think, that's what I posted a question. ;) hehehe You know, I forget about plain edamamme and roasted soynuts. I've tried them both and really like them. Duh! I need to buy some of those. They DO make great snacks and side...

Oh yeah, I agree! The Silk Chocolate Soymilk IS heavenly! ;) :9

I ate something similar for dinner last night! lol I'm going to cut my dairy down for our experiment, too. I'll finish up the lowfat plain yogurt I've got, but I don't think I'll buy anymore for awhile. I'm also going to cut down on my vanilla soy milk- it's got a little bit of sugar in it...

Hi Norma, I absolutely love this quote! It comes into my mind when I start feeling like continuing to lose weight (I've lost 80 pounds so far and have about 55 more to go) and improve my overall fitness is just too much to handle. It's a daily challenge- one I'm sure you can relate too ;)...

I'm very happy for you! Congrats on becoming a personal trainer! Your positive attitude, inner happiness, and soon to be freedom from a negative situation will help you create a rewarding and well balanced life for yourself. It's an exciting time for you! Connie :D

Awwww Shelley! I don't think that should count against you. You HAD to help your DD, right? ;) I think it's a good sign that it didn't taste good. All of your dedication and focus on this challenge is paying off! You're an inspiration! Connie :D

Your excitement for this challenge is contagious, so no apologizing for long posts! ;) I tend to write long posts myself. Those bars are called Kashi Chewy Granola Bars- Honey Almond Flax. The box says "nothing artifical", 0 trans fat and 7 whole grains. They have 300mg of Omega-3s, too. All...

Thank you, Terri! ;) It came today though, and I've already broke it in. I did Step Heat late this afternoon...I really like it. :) I'm not thrilled about taking a day of rest each week, but I force myself to go through with it each week because I know if I don't I'll be pushing myself too...

Hi Jane, I did Step Heat today, too! It was my first time doing it. I watched it once first, and I have to admit I was thinking that it looked a bit easier than I hoped it would be. Then I did the work out. Whoa! It's perfect for me right now, and I really enjoyed it! I haven't worn my...

What a cool and creative workout, Sandra! Kudos! I watched KPC while recording it from FitTV the other day- I'm looking forward to tryin it. I'm already thinking that I want to add that to my Wish list. hehe No UPS packages for me yesterday. :( It's scheduled to come today- there was some...

I've thought the same thing- only I've got way more than 20 pounds on Cathe right now. :P I like to think of my extra weight as being helpful to me- at least with something. hehehe Not that I want to keep carrying this around with me, though. Nope, I'm working toward the day when I need to PICK...

Yikes, that is alot of sugar for a "health food" bar. I recently found a Kashi bar that I really like- it's whole grain and only has 6 grams of sugar- and it's not corn syrup it's brown rice syrup. It's even got a bit of fiber and protein. And it tastes pretty darn good. Maybe you can look for...

Congrats on making it thru the pool party sugar-free!! That's a true accomplishment. ;) This might sound really weird, but I've always wanted to be from a Greek family- or marry into one. I think the whole culture is so fascinating! I go to the local Greek fests, but it's not the same. The...

Hi Kim, Great job staying away from your kids' snacks!! I've been buying the wg sf bread for a long time now, it's wonderful! I even got my mom and stepdad to make it their "regular" bread. That's a big deal! Glad you found some. ;) Connie
