    Direct TV

    Went to Best Buy today and they were doing a big promo there for Direct TV. We are tempted to try it because it will be cheaper than our current plan with Cox. I've had cable for soooo long it makes me a little nervous to switch. Anybody have any recommendations?

    Michelle Dozois - Peak 10 Challenge

    I was just looking at this set and saw that it included the first two peak 10 workouts which I didn't want to purchase again. Are you saying that they are the same workouts with different casts?

    decreasing cardio

    My experience is as long as you keep your calorie intake in check it will be fine. I recently "fell off the wagon" in terms of clean eating and gained about 8 pounds. A week and a half ago I started journaling my calories again and am already down 5 of those pounds. At the same time, I...

    Sprouting and Wheatgrass Questions

    I just got done reading an interesting book, The Raw Truth. In it is a lot of good information on sprouting but I'd like some first hand information if anyone has tried it. I did a search and way back in 2006 there is a post where Kathryn had ordered some stuff from Sproutman to try. Just...

    Ever Use a HRM

    Hi Cathe, Obviously you are in terrific shape. Just wondering if you ever wear a heart rate monitor and if so, what kind of calories do you burn doing your workouts? I've been using one for a while now and find that I'm getting a little compulsive about it. Even after doing a killer workout...

    Nor' Easter Snow Storm

    I'm in Virginia and we got about 10 inches yesterday. I love the snow and it made it even better that I was off yesterday and today so I don't have to worry about getting out on the roads. Believe me, most Virginia drivers don't do great in snow :(

    I went to Bob's Red Mill website last night and they have a lot of great recipes for their products. There's one for lemon chia seed bread that looks yummy. I'm hoping it will taste like lemon poppy seed bread. I'm going to try to make it later today. I had my DH taste my kombucha yesterday...

    "INTENSITY" . . . WOW. Just . . . WOW.

    A-Jock, just curious if you ever use a heart rate monitor when you work out? With a resting heart rate like you have I'm just curious how high your high heart rate gets when you are doing one of your tough workouts.
