Good for you! Keep it up!

I'm SUPER sore after my first ever strong lifts day yesterday. Pretty sure it's from the squats, of course. I'm thinking maybe another day of rest? Oh, and and I was getting ready to make an appointment with my GYN because my breasts are super tender today... not preggo, but started worrying about cancer, etc! But then,…

Alright! Thanks, friends!

Hmmmmmmmm. I guess I don't know the difference. It looked just like this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&v=YK29zn2DTL4&feature=fvwp I'll go look for that book. Maybe I should study up more before I go back. Thanks for pointing that out.

Way to go! That's my starting weight. I SO want to look like you in a few months! Thanks for mentioning that you upped your calories with each plateau. I bet that's really important! Oh, and my son just turned 7! Happy Mother's Day to YOU!

I'm back! It was easy. When I got there, I was the only one. After a few minutes, there were a few others around, but noone wanted the gear I was using. You're right, they all probably thought nothing of me. I encountered a couple questions... I'll start new threads for those. BUT... I imagine that psychologically, the…

Thanks, ladies!

Hmmmmm, okay. Thanks, all!

Thanks for all the encouragement! It's good to post in the forums, I hadn't started a thread before.

Phew! That's fast! Nice!

Here's the hilarious thing. I use the Nike running app with gps so I can see my map of my run at the end. So this run is just a straight line, but when you zoom in, it's really precise! I can see when I brought the mail into the kitchen and when I went into the garage to help my kid. So cool!

My scale hasn't budged, but hubby told me I look better!

Thanks, all! I'm even more motivated to keep it up now! Yes, my driveway is long. One lap down and back is nearly .25 miles. It's nice. But I don't have a treadmill. I'm getting jealous of those. We'll work with what we have, right?!

Fantastic story!

Chalene Extreme is a lift heavy - type of program? Or is it lots of reps? I really want to go heavy! But I've heard good things. Thanks, all!

Commando. I do like running skorts. The shorts underneath make me feel well covered. The skirt is just for cute. :)

You all are giving great advice! 1. I'm training for a half marathon... so I'm planning on not strength training my legs. I only want to work my upper body. (I dont' want to get hurt, basically.) Is that okay? Or a total wimp-out? 2. How often should do this "max-out" strength training? Every other day? 4 times per week?…

I love my running skirts that have shorts underneath. No panties. No riding up. :)

You should definitely try different shoes right away. the store should let you exchange them.

I see the EXTREME version is out. Which one should I start with?
