I read the book Men's Health Huge In a Hurry this week. Some things that I got out of it is to 1) to try to eat 3 meals and 3 snacks a day with a lot more protein 2) use compound lifting exercises rather than the isolated, this would allow me to go from 6 lifting days to 3 and I can take more cardio classes. I am trying to get lean right now but eventually I want to get bigger. My routine has been pretty good but it has been over 8 weeks of the same routine and I think my muscles are anticipating.
I am training hard for my CMC event in September. I talked to some of the trainers at the gym about how to get my pull up numbers higher and started to work on that every other workout. I also am taking more classes. I took boot camp twice this week and man did it really kick my behind. I took spin twice this week too and one core conditioning class. That has been the best surprise my core has gotten a lot stronger since I joined Equinox a year ago. I remember when I couldnt even do some of the exercises. I am still no there yet I had to take a lot of breaks at the core conditioning class.
Food has been ok. I am not overeating which is good but I am not eating the way I want to either. It will take a lot of time to change my eating habits, which I am fine with. I started cooking more and eating out less but I still eat out from time to time. If anyone knows any meal planing iphone apps or websites please share!

You asked about the Swiss Ball - yes, I use one of those large stability balls - thet are great for ab and back work. Also you can stabilize youself while doing light weight work for toning. If you buy one (under $20), look for one with an accompanying DVD workout. Reebok sells one at Target. It is more challenging than it appears. This is not be confused with a Bosu Ball - which is the one you stand on top of and do work - that I could not do at all!

Hmm....you are working on pull ups and I am working on push ups lol. My trainer has been trying to get me to build up the strength in my arms and go lower on the push ups. We will both reach our goal eventually. :)
