Good morning Iowans! Can you believe it's almost state fair time? I guess the heat is reminding us?:) Do you all go to it? My body has been out of sorts for a few weeks now..kind of irritating..but going to the doctor to get things figured out! Luckily not affecting workouts..so that's good! This am I did my 5 mile run…

Hey all..no I did not die!:laugh: Weekend and work have been crazy:noway: But I caught up on the thread...so I'll put a few insights below:wink: On Sat am I was able to do my CE Push 1 before we left for the day to Jason's family reunion...it was a hot day..especially when the wind went down..95..yowza! I spent most of the…

Follow me to the new weekly thread..let me know if you like the name! :happy: How is everyone!? http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/62761-cornfed-iowans-week-of-aug-10

Hey girl, I had the SAME problem you did when I got CE. I did have bands..so tried them to start..but didn't like them for this program (although you may..and lots cheaper!). I decided to make the investment since I coach and use them so much anyway..maybe try craigs list??? They often have free weights on there. I doubt…

Hey there newbie! What's your story? Welcome!:flowerforyou: Casey

Hey guys! Little tired today as I didn't sleep well last night...need to get to bed early tonight! Early am's both tomorrow and Sun! :yawn: I did ChaLEAN Extreme Burn It Off this am..as well as some treadmill intervals/sprints. Lunch will be core/yoga..tonight some stretching or sleeping!:bigsmile: Kristin: I think I want…

Good morning team!:yawn: Little tired today...didn't sleep well again last night. Def going to get my stuff done tonight to get to bed early..gotta be on the road tomorrow am by 8:30 (workout before!) and then Sun up early for long run before it gets HOT!:noway: Did CE Burn It Off this am and then some treadmill work. Will…

Way to go Ghanie!:drinker: Spiralgirl: It'll give you all the info..but she'll tell you that you'll want to be fatigued at the end of 12 reps for the burn phase (just one set)..I would start with a weight I thought best and make notes as to if it was too easy or too hard and to adjust the next week. She has all ranges on…

Keep in touch..and if you have any questions def let me know! Be sure to use your beach body coach for support too..that's what they are there for.. Casey:bigsmile:

Good afternoon all, Maybe I can start a new thread each week...hmm..a name..any ideas? I am better in the morning..maybe I'll have a good idea then!:tongue: Kelly: Wellness is a lifestyle..sounds like your schedule changes with the season..and so too your lifestyle then goes with it..true?? I think we can be a good support…

Hey there, I love this program...one thing to think about it is once you get it..you don't really have to spend more if you don't want. Cheaper than a gym and you get nutrition/motivation/workout all in one! 1) If you are on carpet no mat is needed. You can either use weights or bands..bands are cheaper. I have used them…

Good morning everyone! I noticed when I get up to run it's getting darker and darker..darned that fall coming!:) Tracylux: I wish I had a dog to take with me sometimes..my sister has a yellow lab and is moving back from WI so maybe I can take her once in a while..my niece pup! She's a good dog! What all DVD's do you have…

Good morning teamies!:bigsmile: I am glad it's Thursday..ready for weekend!:drinker: I ran outside this am..nice cool peaceful morning..although noticing that the sun is not coming up as early...sigh:ohwell: I enjoyed the cool...it's gonna be like 95 on Saturday...and I'll be outside in a park all day with Jason and his…

Hey all! I am in Ankeny..just north of Des Moines. Not to worry Cyclone fans..I was just clarifying for people that thought I was saying Loman?? I root for them when not playing the Hawks! What kind of workouts do you guys like to do? How long have you been on here? Great to meet you all!!! Casey

Hello again team:happy: Erika: It's so easy to have excuses when you are busy..but as I always tell people who say that to me..I have a full time job, a part time job, I coach, I own a home, I have friends/family..etc..we all have the same time it's just how we choose to spend it! You obviously have your groove on…

Good morning team:bigsmile: Well I got my CE Push 2 done last night...I then spent some nice time with Jason..sometimes those brief times of focusing on one another are so good for a relationship...even if he was laughing at me for being goofy:laugh: This am I did my CE Burn Intervals..will do the CE Core at lunch along…

I actually didn't go to school there..been a Hawk fan since I was like 5! I actually have tickets and am going to the Michigan game..can't wait..I've always hated those Wolverines! That's awesome..I'll be near you soon! Casey:drinker:

It honestly hasn't bothered me at all unless it's the TOM..and each month has gotten worse. Guess I'll find out when I go to the GI doctor...I am so upset that the surgery wasn't the end:sad: but you guys are helping me to keep my head up!!! I have never had problems until the past probably year or two..and gradually got…

Hey guys...what part of FL are you in? I am heading to Ft Lauderdale/Miami in less than 2 months! And yes..of course I am a HAWKEYE!!! Season FB ticket holder!:drinker: Casey

Hmmm...I might have to try this again:laugh: I'd still be fitness buddies with you out of state transfers...even if you aren't in Iowa anymore:ohwell:

Way to keep it real Ghanie!:glasses: Megan: We are a lot alike.it's almost scary..who knew there could be two great people:laugh: Or maybe two deficient ones! What type of test is that? I don't think I had that one...I had an ultrasound and then a hydascan....I do have an appt with my GI doctor (per my regular doctors…

Good morning all:yawn: Well I feel better today than yesterday..but still battling the stomach. Things actually were better after my surgery..and now really only seem to bother me during certain TOM..for about a week. Otherwise I am typically pretty ok most of the time. I called my regular physican yesterday for guidance…

Hey guys..sorry I have been such a putz the last couple days:frown: I had my gallbladder out in May...only to find out that I now have a whole new set of digestive problems! It seems to be tracking with my monthly cycle and is getting worse each month. I think it's common for females..but mine is getting out of control. It…

It really depends on your needs..obviously cardio needs carbs...strength needs protein to build muscles. And you have to give it time...it'll take a few months perhaps to fully see results..those bad *kitten* muscles take some time!

Lilangel: She has girls in the video that do low impact so if your knee is bothering you you can follow them. Also when doing lunges or squats..don't go down as low if it hurts your knee..and widen your stance. As far as biking..you might go into a bike shop to make sure you are set up properly..that's probably what's…

Good morning all! I agree..TGIF!!!!:wink: I did CE Push 3 last night...def going to have to work on form for the one legged sumo squats! I am also thinking my bowflex weights are gonna have to go on the stand from now on...picking up those heavy weights I worry on form and my back (which is STILL killing me..chiro…

Good afternoon all! What a crazy day:noway: I was with my little sister all night last night preparing her for interviews today..she's just a young pup..out of college! My back is VERY out of place so majorly in pain...but have a chiro appt tomorrow (I am gonna stop being so stubborn!:laugh: ) I didn't sleep well last…

Hey there, I have ran for a few years now..but am doing a half marathon about that time..and am very active much like you! Do you own a heart rate monitor, GARMIN, body bugg?? Those are the most accurate ways to tell how many calories you are burning in a day. Then you know how much to take in to lose weight, maintain,…

That's great! And don't feel like you need to do everything at once. It took me a while to get where I am..sometimes doing too much can seem like overload! If you want to add me as a friend and keep in contact..please do! I am also on facebook (Casey Fett). Casey:bigsmile:

Hey there! I love what you are saying..because you are not just focused on being skinny or eating healthy..it really is a lifestyle change. And your kids will be so much better because of it..not only will you be happier and a better mom..but you are setting such a good example for them!:flowerforyou: If you ever need any…
