I probably did knee pushups during the first 6 weeks of P90X. It's really a good thing to know your level & push your body just a tad over that line. I'd say if you are having difficulties doing one good form push up off on the toes, then do them all on your knees until you build up the arm strength to keep your back…

57 push ups in before bed last night. Last few were pretty rough. Cute story though...my 4 y.o. is now wanting to do her pushups before prayers every night. :love: And, DH even chimed in & got on the mat. :noway:

yummy!

Holy Moly, these sound delish! I'm so gonna make these Next! I adore carrots & pumpkin. :heart:

Wowzer! Nice job! That's a lot of weight. You should be proud. You look great!

I realized just now that I left out a set last night (the max set) :noway: but since I did my exhaustion test right before, I'm still just going to count it. Although that means that I did one less tonight than I did last night. I didn't realize it or I'd have just tried to get in another even though it would have meant…

Oh, I know what you mean! :noway: I feel it in my sides & low abs & well, really everywhere from my diaphram (yeah, sounds better than boobs) to my hips! :laugh: Also in my pecs - my pecs are really sore too! :blushing: Okay, maybe I'm just sore all over! :bigsmile:

Was thinking about y'all this morning while doing my yoga -every chaturanga just hurt!! It's from the dang push ups! Today is W1D2 - the plan is for after work. Hope everyone else is feeling it too! (hey, it's the good kind of sore - let's me know I've done something!:laugh: ) Meag: nahh, not busy at all. I'll come spot…

:laugh: My thoughts exactly

Meag, think I read somewhere that you said your low back ached after doing this, so I wanted to remind everybody to keep good form (push ups are tough on the back if the form isn't spot on). If your form starts to suffer, finish out on your knees - nothing wrong with being "girly" as that's what we are anyway! :laugh:…

Forgot about this...ended up in bed & had to get up to get it done! I did 15 in test - ranked 3, so today was 10+12+7+7. I did 'em but I must admit that I had to take longer in recovery than 60 secs, but they are done now & I can feel better! Yep I really did just get out of bed to do 51 push ups...man, how my life has…

Bump -will post my stats later. Thanks for starting this, Meag!

Bump...I bought some polenta but didn't know what to do with it. Now, I do. Thanks for this!

bumping for the recipes :flowerforyou:

Wow, what a difference!

Had to bump this - Banana Bread is my favorite!

Jerk? So not the right word.

Bump, I have to be able to find this tomorrow - when I'm bored to tears at work! :blushing: :bigsmile:

WooHoo! Great to have you back (again) with your purdy green eyes! :bigsmile:

And the crowd goes wild.....woohoo Meag! Great job, my friend & we are all soooo proud of you! :bigsmile:

Mary Kay! Been using it since I was 10 years old (cleanser, moisturizer & freshner then)...including all the makeup & beauty products now. I've noticed that if I skip a couple of days, I can sure tell it! Check it out the website & you can get your local rep to do a facial for you & recommend products. Can be a little…

Definitely making these! Thanks for the post

Oh! That is right on. :love: Thanks for posting.

Yay, love pumpkin. Bumping this for the recipes! :heart:

I had the most debilitating shin splints ever for over 2 months (maybe 3). They aren't completely gone (oh how I wish), but they are bearable as long as I don't run more than a mile or 2 at a time. I'm working on slowly increasing my mileage this time. I'll try to keep a long story short (which is hard for me) & say that I…

These are delish. We always called them "A toad in the hole". Here's why - instead of cutting out a huge center like he does, only pinch out enough for the yoke to pop through and you can flip it in the pan to brown both sides. If you do it right, the yoke ends up popping out of the top side (not the side w/ the white on…

:drinker: Thanks so much for posting! I'm totally gonna try it. Love red lentils!

I danced after my first mile...lol Still sometimes have walk breaks even now, but it's better than I could have ever thought about 2 years ago! :heart:

Good for you to work it into your cals & to notice *how* we got to "overweight" to begin with. Also good for you to listen to your body & stop eating when you were full.
