I love my venti Skim Milk SF vanilla latte's too.. Yum Nice job on the workouts.

Yes.. told you I went running Sat morning at 5:30am. Friday night I went to sleep early while you were all hanging out being bad in the hospitality room. Actually ran into Steve after my run and stretched a little bit while he was on the bike. I would have lifted too though if I had weights. Ok.. so I am asking now. Hang on to the gym passes for me next time I come visit. Maybe I can teach you a thing or two.

pffffffffft.. I'll kick all your asses in the gym.. /flex Come over to my Y in Baltimore! Actually that IS insanely high for tricep pushdowns and pulls. Ouch. Nice job. I do dips with my own weight though and that is just under 190 right now but totally dif story. June: BRING IT and then Bench press me.. lol.. shouldn't be too hard because by then I should be a size 6 or below goal. Whoo hoo. Actually if somehow we could get some lifting in maybe I could have one more extra apple martini.. lol David.. please upgrade that gym in the hotel of yours or at least hook me up with a guest pass to the gym you use next time. Both treadmills were broken and I had to go freeze my tush off outside!!!

Hi Bob, I wouldn't say I'm wise, but I can tell you what's worked for me. Syntrax makes a great cappuccino-flavored protein mix, and I take that when I'm craving coffee. I'll make a double or triple size, and I get lots of coffee flavor plus a good dose of protein. I was having trouble with fatigue a couple of months after my surgery, and my surgeon suggested I try Oasis Ageless capsules. It helped my energy and my workouts a lot (I still take it.) Instead of barely pushing myself through, I often do the workouts with vigor and sometimes even a smile (scary isn't it?) I also do strenuous bike riding on a hilly paved trail. I was crashing halfway through and figured it was due to low blood sugar. (I'm diabetic and can really feel when my sugar is off.) I started eating a good carb meal an hour or so beforehand or snack on dried dates (rolled in oats, no sugar added.) They will give you a good boost. I order mine from www.stonemountainpecans.com . I've also gotten tasty nuts from there too, which helps with the protein -- and gives your body the "good" fats you need to function. See http://borntoexplore.org/lowfat.htm for more on fat. I know most of the protein and carbs I consume are no fat or low fat, and fat is essential I also eat shelled pumpkin seeds (peptias) that I get from Cost Plus World Market. They also contain the good fats. Thanks for listening! Kim HW 315 SW 306 CW 182 GW 150

Summer, no fitlinxx at our YMCA. I have not used it but it looks pretty cool.
