Marie, he is gorgeous! Such a lovely family you have there. Checking in with CrossFire today. Still having a lot of fun with this one!

Thanks for the advice on extending my break between Mesos. I'm going to bring cardio, and my hubby's BodyLastics bands to do some of the same exercises in M2W1 just to start working my muscles again. Then I'll pick up M2W1 when I get back. I'm kinda OCD about my rotations, so maybe this is good...

So I did MMA Boxing today, and my goodness, it was so much fun! The time really flies by on this one for me because moving from one thing to the next makes me forget that I'm working out, LOL!. I really enjoyed this one -- now I'll have to look for a heavy bag to do the bonus workout. I just...

Every update has me more and more excited about this set! The length of the workouts, the variety -- it all sounds fantastic. Love the pics, too!

Thank you all for the sweet messages about my dad -- he's had a tough road, but he's been energized to continue to fighting after getting such good news after the chemo/radiation. Jean, his cancer started in the bladder. It's in the lymph now too, but hasn't reached any other organs. After...

I also wanted to thank you for the recovery week suggestions -- i don't even plan to lift a light weight, LOL! But I do hope to do more cardio, since that's been cut shorter lately. Maybe just the tabata/cardio portions of CF and TTM, because I've really been enjoying those. And, Marie...

I've been a bit out of touch as I'm getting everything ready for my dad's cancer surgery (this month! Finally! Yay!), but I'm keeping up with this forum as best I can. I did Disc 11 on Tuesday, and am finishing Meso 1 today with Legs Disc 12. I love love STS, and the flexibility that having only...

Thank you all for sharing our joy at my Dad's prognosis -- it has really energized him for the battle he still has, and your prayers and good thoughts really help buoy his spirits! Missy -- yay for a new car! Enjoy the shopping. mfv3 (sorry -- I don't know your name!) -- thank you for the...

Hi all, I've been out of town with my Dad getting him evaluated at the cancer center at Johns Hopkins. We got very good news there, after all but giving up hope, so we are ecstatic and celebrating! The docs actually feel they can CURE his cancer, after first only thinking they could slow the...

Thank you so much! I'm much better today. Yesterday I did part of Cross Fire -- love the Firewalker Tabatas -- and Ab Circuits Partner Abs. I really enjoyed Cross Fire! Today was Disc 8 of M1 -- Back and Triceps. This is always my favorite one of the week, so the time flew by!

Athletic Step is one of my favorite of the Cathe step workouts! It does tax the brain a bit, but in a really good way. It's fun and tough. I've only tried Step Moves once, and it'll take me a while to "get" it, so I can't really comment there. I think I'll like it once I learn it, but I prefer...

Forgot to check in yesterday -- just getting over a cold, so I've been offline. Did Disc 7 yesterday -- oh. my. pushups. Ouch. CrossFire is on the schedule for today!

Hi all, Well, I finished the 2nd week! Did Disc 6 today -- legs, plus Ab Circuits Weights and Plates, which I really liked, even though I thought it was the hardest of the Ab Circuits I've done. Leg day continues to be difficult for me! I always do the added bonus ones because I CAN do...

Yes, chihuahuas really are a handful, aren't they? Before these two dogs, I had Great Danes, and I loved them. But when we lost the last one,I wanted to get a "regular" sized dog and we got the rescue Lab. She has sooooo much more energy than any Dane ever born, and training the chihuahua has...

Yay! Even though I'm sure they are what I need, I surely won't miss them! Maybe after mesos 2 and 3, I'll be better at them. Sent from my iPad using CatheForum

We've got two rescue doggies -- a black lab and a chihuahua baby that was seized from a pit bull "breeder". I shudder to think what they were going o use the Chihuahuas for. Both pups are pure love! Sent from my iPad using CatheForum

Checking in with disc 4 and extended stretch. The push-ups are getting a little easier but I still can't do them all. I made it through the drop sets on my toes though! Afterwards my daughter and I took the puppies for a 2.5 mike walk. Slow and relaxing. Sent from my iPad using CatheForum

Did Disc 3 today -- Legs, and wow. It was so much harder for me than the upper body ones. I had to modify a LOT and reduce my weights from my 1RM calculations. I think I might have been resting too much during my 1RM testing because I was doing it with my daughter and we were taking turns. My...

Wow, this is a fast moving thread! Thank you all for the encouragement on the pushups! I can't even imagine being able to do 30 puhsups in a row, but I'm going keep working at it and hope I get there. :p We've always homeschooled, so I don't really know any other way. Our oldest is a...

Did Disc 2 today! I liked this one better than Disc 1 because pushups are still hard for me, and to do that many of them in one workout is rough. I'm hoping that sticking with it will help me to do more of them -- any progress will be great news. The chin-ups today were hard too -- I do them...
