    Does Anyone Own a Polar Heart Rate Monitor?

    DirtDiva -- I also have an RS400 and wondered if you've had problems going through watchbands? I'm on my third. My sweat just destroys the rubbery part to the point that it eventually falls apart. You can only buy a replacement band through Polar. Because of the odd shape, generic watchbands...

    1st marathon next weekend-Eek!

    Wow, Kathryn! Great advice! :) I never sleep well the night before an event. I've learned that it's the night before the night before when you really want to get your best sleep. Remind yourself that you've put in the training. Show up at the starting line knowing that you're...

    Wen hair care

    So, all you Wen'ers, do you Wen every day? (Probably not a verb, but oh well ...)

    I miss my Dad!

    Me, too. It's been nine years, and there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about him.

    Fructose is POISON!!!

    What I got out of that is all processed sugar is bad for you. Even though that "sweet surprise" commercial by the "corn sugar" folks is cheesy, the fact of it is technically correct -- your body can't tell the difference between sugar and HFCS. They want to make it seem that because it's...

    scrubbing bubbles

    YouTube - ‪Suds‬‏ I would skip the cleaner and just turn your grill on high for 10-15 minutes. Use a stiff brush to get rid of any remaining residue.

    OK 'fess up, who's caught royal wedding fever?

    Consider me as someone with semi-fever. I probably won't get up at the crack of dawn, but I'm excited to see her gown. I think I sold or traded my copy of "How to Get in Shape for Your Wedding", but if I still had it, I would do it on Thursday in anticipation of the big day!

    protection when cutting root veg

    Get your husband to do it for you! :p Seriously, though, I hope your cut heals quickly. Butternut squashes scare the daylights out of me, and I always handle them very delicately. I have a number of recipes that call for peeled and cubed squash, so I just allow a lot of time, make sure my...

    Just how patient? Freezes at 80%

    I've tried creating a few test workouts. Each time I select "Create Video", it gets to 80% and then hangs. It doesn't matter how many segments I put into the workout -- I've tried as few as two and as many as ten. I have plenty of space on my hard drive, and I've closed all other programs, so...

    Going to have a (Step) Blast Tues night,

    Well, shoot. I already had an Imax2 party this morning. Your party sounds much more fun and a little less painful! :p

    what a terrible night

    I don't know what is worse, experiencing that yourself or watching someone you love go through it. I hope you both get plenty of sleep today. I'm sure his abdominal muscles are going to be sore for a few days!

    Thank you Lucy enablers! Favorite pant found!

    I Love Lucy! :p Seriously! Lucy's training socks are the best I've come across in a while. I was a huge fan of Thorlos, then Smartwools, and now I'm sold on Lucy's. They have a lip across the back to keep them from sliding into your shoes and they wick moisture away from your feet.

    Hairspray help

    I got a new haircut yesterday. It now looks like I have a hairstyle, which is a first for me in a long time! My 12-year old DS looked at me and said "Wow, Mom! You look good!" Any time I get a reaction like that is a good thing :) So here's my question: I need to use hairspray to...

    Agave nectar

    I agree about moderation, and I agree that I shouldn't have cookies around the house. But I am annoyed by the good doctor's website and not being able to read the article without having to sign up. What a weasel.

    Brazil Butt Lift Deluxe?

    Rio Extreme is a great workout. It's a circuit workout alternating cardio and strength. Time just flies by and it is a lot of fun! The other workouts are good workouts, but they are pretty short. Abs Rapido is all standing weighted core work. Upper Cuts is really short, but accomplishes a...

    Why do people leave their carts out in the parking lot?

    That's one thing about the Christmas season that drives me crazy! More shoppers = more carts in the Target parking lot. I think a lot of people are lazy.

    Thinking of getting a cat . . .

    Go to your nearest animal shelter and adopt the first cat that makes your heart melt. If fur shedding is an issue, get a short-haired cat. Do not declaw the cat if it is going to spend time outdoors. You will take away its defense and escape mechanism. Expect that your house and...

    Mineral makeup users ... how often to wash your brushes

    I don't think I wash my brushes as often as I should. How often are you supposed to wash your makeup brushes? What is your method?

    The thief who stole my credit card is constipated and overweight.

    You'll most definitely end up with a new credit card number, but make sure you update anything that automatically hits your credit card, like Netflix or a gym membership. My neighbor had to get a new credit card number, and her gym charged her a fee when the monthly dues payment was denied...
