Hi Jane,
I have a question for you, do you have Sirius? Just wondering. I saw that you had mentioned hearing something on Howard Stern and I have been wanting to ask you, if you listen. Not many women like the show, but I have been a listener for a long time. When they switched to satellite, I had to get it and get it all set up. I think he is an awesome interviewer. I alternate between listening to him and channel 21.
Just curious.

Hey Ginger! Oh yes! I've had Sirius since before Howard got there. Love it! Still listen to Howard every morning. I listen to channel 21 a LOT. I'd say that's my favorite music channel. I also like 18 and 20 sometimes. There are a few others I alternate between for a change, too!

I was wondering! Some of the songs you had suggested are ones that I hear on that channel!
I used to listen every morning, now I turn it on in the afternoon. I swear, there were mornings when he had someone on there and I couldn't get myself to leave the car. 
If I am in the mellow mood, I'll listen to channel 30 (i think, coffeehouse). I just love Sirius and I am anxious to see what happens with the merger, finally going through.

Yep, I'd say Channel 21 pretty much sums up the bulk of my playlist! I've always been into more alternative music. My new favorite workout song is The Ting Tings -- Shut Up and Let Me Go!
I'm the same way in the mornings......I have to leave my car right in the middle of a great interview or bit. Then, at lunch I sometimes will turn on the west coast feed (channel 101) to try and catch some of what I missed. Then, on my way home, I can sometimes go back to channel 100 and catch some more. Then, if it's a commercial break, it's right back to channel 21.

I wish you lived near me -- we'd be great buds! Working out, listening to Sirius, hitting the sales.

Me, too. We definitely need to get something scheduled. I would drive there one Saturday morning, if you ever want to make a day of it. We could have a Girls' day.

Man, this scale is just teasing me. For the past 2 weeks I just bounce around the same 1/2 pound. I've been good with the food, so I either need to increase my NEAT or cardio or drop the calories a bit, which I am hesitant to do since I am doing Power Training and it's pretty intense. I've been really lax on the cardio, so I guess I just need to buck up and do it! I can't believe how hard these last few pounds are compared to the first 23!
Side planks. I just started rotating these into the mix. They are hard! Really hard! I can't seem to get my positioning just right on them. What's the secret?

I miss Howard! I have XM in my car. I'm hoping that the recent merger-approval will finally allow me to listen to him again.

I would increase the cardio and/or NEAT before lowering your calories, Jane. Your workouts are tough and you need that food. I thought of you last night when I was working with my trainer, because even though I was throwing around much weight - I was drained and I know it's the deficit, but after feeling SO strong for so long, it kind of sucked.
As for the side planks, mine weren't necessarily pretty but I was feeling them. I was sweating so much and he had me on a bad so my elbow kept sliding. I stack my feet on top and use that arms to raise myself up. Does that make sense? They are hard and it made me realize that I probably need to start doing some more focused core work, now that the belly fat is starting to recede.

Yay! Another fan. I swear, I have been around some people (especially women) who totally think I am a freak, because I like the show and listen to it. I don't get it. You ladies make me feel better.
