Sorry for being so unclear before; I should have provided a bit more detail/background. I've been seeing this therapist for about three years, and she isn't a very jokey kind of person., Mostly, we stick to the 'issues', and tend to have 'serious' discussions. She uses the 'f' word quite...

Hello, all. I'll admit it, I see a shrink. I've been seeing this particular shrink for almost three years. While this person has indeed helped me work through some stuff, and while I think we've built up an honest, friendly rapport, I think I may need a change. Last week my therapist...

Hello, all. I didn't check-in yesterday. I didn't sleep at all Monday night, and had a horrible headache pretty much all day Tuesday. Yesterday was just cardio; didn't have the strength to do weights. I did CTX's 10-10-10 cardio followed by CTX Kickbox (cardio), then CTX Kickbox abs and...

My dad was in WWII and has been talking about this series for weeks now. He watched it on Sunday. My mom (who despises anything 'war related') called me and said, "Will you please see a movie with me?" so we went out. But I did watch "The War" after the movie. In my opinion, Ken Burns does...

1. Firestarter 2. The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon 3. Carrie 4. Misery (I have yet to read "The Stand" but many people say this is his best work.)

Hi, all. This a.m. I did B&G leg blast premix (is that what it's called? the one without the warm up). I did B&G's warm up, then the premix stopping before the stretch, did the bonus footage (leg press, sit n stands, glute squeezes, abs on ball) then did a stretch segment from Amy's abs and...

Dallys: Did you notice that Marion had on a white bra and carried a white purse at the beginning of the movie? Then, after she steals the money, she sports a black bra and carries a black purse. I thought that was quite clever. Also, there are three references to "Birds" in this movie...

Wow, thanks for your informative post, Marcy. I'm thinking of ordering these. I'd like a pull-up bar, but the entrance to my workout room is a pair of French doors. Oh well, as you said, I can use resistance bands. Thanks again. :-) Marcia

Two questions: 1. If I've never done a P90X workout, would it be smart to start with earlier videos BEFORE purchasing P90X+? 2. I can't get the clips to work - does Tony use 'normal' at-home equipment; i.e.: dumbbells, barbell, step? Thanks. Marcia

Denise - I'm in complete agreement. Body Max 2 has incredible premixes. My faves are Boot Camp and Scrambled Eggs, but Double Upper Body and Cardio and Weights are fun, too. I love Body Max 2 - it's so versatile. Marcia

For me, it's all about the guy, hairy or no. Montgomery Clift was quite hirsute. But he was so good looking and charming and talented that I don't care (that is to say, that is not the reason I find him attractive). Prince is very attractive (in my opinion) and has a hair chest, but he does...

Morning, Maniacs! This a.m. I did my own Cathe circuit. I have a multi disc player so I put in LIC and Muscle Max. I set LIC up for the cardio only premix and set MM up for the upper body only premix, skipping past the warm up. I began with LIC warm up and cardio, then I hit "disc skip" and...

Jennifer: I was a puddle on the floor. Usually I feel this one in my legs tremendously. This time, my lungs were burning, but my legs strong and ready. That made me really good. There must be muscle underneath all my 'insulation.' :-) Marcia

Debbie: I was posting at the same time as you. Wonderful workout. And wonderful stats. I don't know my body fat% (how do you figure yours? I'm supposed to figure mine for Precision Nutrition.) I won't even tell you my weight. I'll just say that you look great, and you inspire me to lift...

Lora - I am so sorry. Perhaphs you and I should start a "Maniacs in search of cool jobs" check in! I'm pullin' for ya, sister! WD - good luck with whatever it is you choose you do today - I'm sure it will rock! This morning I did my dread cardio mix. I only summon the energy/courage to...

ME's abs are at the end.

Diane Sue and Dallys - thanks for the info re the gloves. I, too, saw the wrist gloves with the thumb lock at Target. I still worry about movement and slippage, that's why I like the TJ Maxx kind, but the stupid velcro just won't hold. Oh well. Toasty - I can't believe the bride will have to...

Fridays are my rest days. Great workout, Diane Sue! What, to you, is the toughest interval in Imax 3? For me, it's the back-to-back-to back punishment of intervasl 4-6 but if I had to choose one, I'd say interval 4. I do think interval 1 is pretty tough, considering it's the first one out...

Hi, all! This morning I did Push/Pull's lower body (standing work, floor work, and calves/shins). Then I did APX's back and bis, adding the pullovers from the chest section to the back work, and finished with Low Intesity Circuit's abs and stretch. Debbie- why the dread factor re CC4...

Two things: 1.) I read two separate interviews with Janet a while back. In both interviews she stated that she was on a 1,000 calorie a day diet. This, I believe, is why her weight yo-yos so much. She diets down like crazy, and then goes through bouts of rebound eating. 2.) I read an...
