5' too! Possibly shorter, idk, but I'm not gonna admit that. Currently trying to stick around 1300 cals with eating back exercise cals. Will adjust after a few weeks. Feel free to add me:)

I'm at Bliss for a couple more months and am always down for a workout buddy. Friend me and we can make something happen:)

I got 7.2.3 in this am! Three more to go and I can officially be done! I should finish next Monday, which will be perfect since we're going on vacay next Wednesday! I'll take a week off and start supercharged!

Nic...I'm sorry:( That has to be frustrating. Jo..great job! And no, I canDL much more thati can squat! Hahahaha:) Finally got 7.2.2 in today! I had a couple of down days this week so I only lifted twice:/ Really aiming for 3 next week!

I'm sorry, Jo:( injuries just plain suck! Sue...nice job! My hubby pushed me to do 3 arts of 65 bench presses last Thurs. ugh! Lol! I finished my first round of stage 7 today!! Woohoo! I can't believe I actually finished this program! Haha;) I'm gonna so another round so I won't move on for another 2 weeks but its so…

Workout 5 done! Hoping to get this first round done on Saturday so I can bust out round 2 before moving on to supercharged!

Hey strangers! After taking several days off I FINALLY got workout 4 done this morning. I can't believe I got to stage 7 and started to fizzle out. I hope I'm back for good now though. I hope everyone is doing well!

I think my computer ate my last post:/ I swear I wrote something to y'all! Did workout 3 on Thursday. My hammies are still sore! Not sure if I'll get to #4 today or if it'll have to wait until Monday...

FINALLY got to workout 2 today! Felt great but my arms feel like noodles now:) Really hoping in not as sore as I was after workout 1 but we'll see. Already excited for #3 on Thurs! Jo and Feelgood....hope you ladies feel better. Sue...did you use dumbbells for the bench press then??

I'm trying to talk myself into lifting today. I'm SO sore. I don't think I've been this sore since stage 1! Ha! It's mostly my quats, rear and hammies so I could probably survive the second workout with only 2 leg moves.... Also, I'll def be doing two rounds before I move on to Supercharged!

First workout for me too! It kicked my *kitten*! I had to take a longer break than i intended on between 6 & 7 so I'm hoping that's the reason. Jo...you're so right. Maybe that's why it sucked so much more. I was trying to stay at the same weights I've been using but doing 3x as many reps. Haha....that makes me feel a…

I've just started stage 7.... I didn't take any breaks until stage 5. Looking back I wish I had. I know it's easy to "feel" like you don't need to rest but its really important for your body to do so. Once I ended stage 5 I felt so burnt out. So I took a week off and then started stage 6. I ended up tweaking both shoulders…

Hey ladies! I slowly, very slowly starting to feel better. I plan on making a doc appt tomorrow and hopefully they can take my blood and see if I'm low on anything. Otherwise I'm still waiting on my luggage from Kansas. Haha! Crossing my fingers I can get back to the gym at some point this week!

Jo...I don't know how I missed your recent posts. I blame the dizziness. haha You're killing it as well! I should get my luggage tomorrow! It's probably best I don't have any of my workout gear...I would have been tempted to workout otherwise! I'm feeling much better today so I have high hopes for Monday. Otherwise I guess…

Great job, LC!!! I'm back from vacay but I wasn't able to check my bag so my grandparents had to mail me my stuff. lol Should get it all on Friday. My only pair of tennis shoes are in there along with 3/4 of my workout gear and my hrm. It's all ok b/c I've been battling vertigo for the last week anyway:( Totally not cool.…

Ugh... I did part of B3 last night. Didn't get too far b/c I tweaked my right shoulder this time. :( I think I'm just gonna bow out of Stage 6 for now. When I get back from my mini vacay on July 1st, I'll start Stage 7. If I lift between now and then, I'll just go easy on my shoulders. I'm not sure what else to do:/

LC...I love STL! We were stationed in Missouri for a couple of years and went there often! I'm just going to not do workout 5 for A or B. :) Jo...we would LOVE to be stationed in Australia...I'm sure it won't happen though:) I did 6A3 last night. I feel like the reverse pull ups were harder for some reason. Maybe I was…

Am I the only one that is liking the short workouts? haha You add more sets in too so they do get a tad longer. I'm trying to remember to stretch/foam roll after I workout but I'm not so great about it... Should have lifted yesterday but I was feeling lazy and decided to give my shoulder one more day off so I'm gonna try…

1. I can't find gloves small enough And 2. I think callouses are badass! :)

I've been doing some body matrix stuff as part of my warm up just to get a little bit of leg work in! LC...you kick *kitten* with your pushups. I still suck at those:) Working on it though! Did 6B2 today. HALFWAY through already! Amazing how fast it goes when I can lift 3x a week! I think during most of Stage 5 I was only…

Just finished 6A2 today! I have to use a bench to reach the chin up bar (and then I still have to jump). Basically, I jump up....wait for my legs to stop swinging and then hold it and slowly go down, as slow as possible. The pull downs still threw me off today. 10 sets is so weird. And then to only have 2 reps is even…

Oops, not 19...10!!! Haha

Yes, 19! Only 2 reps per set but it was still crazy! I'm still sore from that A workout! Finished my first B workout today! Was a really quick workout with everything only being 2 sets. Kind of a nice change:)

Did my first 6A workout today! I enjoyed it but the 10 sets of pull downs was crazy!!

I did my last Stage 5 workout on Thursday! I'll see y'all in Stage 6!

Sorry I've been MIA again. My 6 year old got bronchitis and then my hubby got home so I've been preoccupied:) Did my LAST A workout today! Upped almost everything except those damn chest presses. Cannot for the life of me get the 30lb dumbelss up:/ I look like such a tool trying to do it too! Lol! Spin class tomorrow and…

LOL! I live in Texas:) It's just gonna be harder during the summer b/c my kids are home and we don't "have" to wake up early for anything. Right now it's easy b/c I have to get up to take my eldest to school and I just go straight to the gym afterward:)

Welcome, Luv! Of course more people get ready for this stage right as I'm about to leave it! Haha:) Finally got to lift again. I think it's gonna be A LOT harder to keep lifting 3x a week during the summer. I'm gonna have to really push myself to do it!

Jo! Welcome to stage 5! The plan is to lift tomorrow, Wed and Fri and then I'll be DONE with Stage 5:) Woot!

haha...yea, I think it's just us two ;P That's kinda what I was figuring about upping weights on just one side. I may try to see if my left arm can handle it since I only have ONE more A workout and I want it to count! I definitely want the strength too! Plus, I really want to be able to say I finished the WHOLE program:)…
