    I need some doggie advice

    Hi Laura, I sympathize with your dilemna. I have four dogs, the oldest is also 8 and the youngest is 2. I am in no way a dog behavior expert, but dogs are truly pack animals (as you know) so I think it is important that Penny be included in your Pack, even at night. While it may be...

    Anyone doing P.A.C.E.?

    Yeah, sorry! It is a HIIT program - 1 minute HI, 1 minute rest, repeated for 5-6 sets. It was created by Dr. Al Sears and he swears that it is the best way to burn fat. Have to say, I'm still a little skeptical, but what he says makes sense. It just feels strange to be completely done with a...

    Anyone doing P.A.C.E.?

    About three weeks ago I was introduced to PACE through a co-worker and I'm giving it a go. I'm using the Blasts in Cathe's workouts for it, as well as Boot Camp and some days of just sprints. Just wondering though if anyone else is/has done PACE and what their results were?

    Cathe - Thank you!!

    Hi Cathe, I am a relative newbie and usually just a "lurker" around here, but I love your workouts and thank God every day that I found you on FitTV in 06. My husband and I invested in a Smith Machine for Christmas and I love it. We have different views, however, on reps, weight, etc...

    dog people...please help

    I don't know if I have any really good advice for this type of situation, but it does sound like he is suffering from some serious separation anxiety. If it were one of my dogs doing that, I think I would make a point of before leaving, taking him for a long walk/run to help him get some of...

    Tell us about your wedding!

    Hi Katie! My husband and I also got married in Nags Head, North Carolina! It's been almost three years now for us and I have to honestly say that if I had to do it over again, I wouldn't change a thing. We rented a huge beach house for a small group of our family and friends to stay at, we...

    How's my Eating?

    I would drop the Splenda. Do you know how they make that stuff? It's actually very toxic - they take a sugar molecule and merge it with a chlorine molecule so you are essentially eating chlorine when you eat Splenda - they are "banking" on the fact that your body will not recognize it as a...

    Dogs - on a happier note, retribution anyone?

    Love that as well! My brother emailed me a picture yesterday of two dogs playing tug-of-war with a M. Vick Jersey, touted as "Picture of the Year." I tried to post it here but can't figure out how to upload pictures. :-(

    NFL tells VIck not to show up to training camp

    Lorie - Sorry - I didn't read your profile before I posted - a little agressive about this topic I guess. :-) You are doing thankless and hard work in rescue, I know. So THANK YOU for all that you do. And any other rescue ladies out there, I know how hard it is emotionally and physically...

    NFL tells VIck not to show up to training camp

    Yep, YEAH!!! My husband just read that on one of his "sports boards" and I agree, I hope this is just the first step. I hope he is starting to see the hole he has dug for himself. . .and really grasp it - but most likely he isn't and he's still sitting around thinking that his fame and fortune...

    Need Ideas for my Office to go "Green"

    RE: Need Ideas for my Office to go Another more extreme idea that our company is now implementing - our company is purchasing a "fleet" of Vespas for employees to drive to and from work to save on gas/oil etc. Employees are responsible for gas and insurance, but the company is purchasing the...

    Shaq's new show

    I saw the show too and I think it is great. Granted, he has a lot to learn about what it is going to take to help these kids, but I think he's on the right path now. Childhood obesity is such an epidemic - I'm so thankful that Shaq is shining a national spotlight on this problem and bringing...

    Question re: soreness

    When you work your legs, how long are you sore after? I am seriously staying sore for three or more days. It's always the worst the second day after doing legs, and then it slowly dies down from there. But I'm honestly grunting every time I have to sit down or stand up. Is this normal or am...

    non toxic laundry products [7 generation] anyone try it??

    My husband and I use the Seventh Generation laundry detergent and we love it, works great. However, we have really soft water (I'm not sure if that makes a difference or not) and I do typically put a little vinegar in the wash when I'm doing whites (I put it in where you would normally put in...

    Vegetables

    Eating conventionally grown vegetables is still better than no vegetables at all. Just soak them for a bit in some water/vinegar and you are good to go.

    Those who have had severe anxiety

    I have been struggling with anxiety/panic attacks since my early 20s, seems to run in my family. The best thing for me to do when I start feeling that way is to get moving. Seriously. I know it sounds cheesy, but I head out to the yard and start gardening, or I head downstairs for a solid...

    Fruit Wash

    I second the vinegar and water mixture. I always soak my fruit and veggies in a vinegar/water solution for 20 minutes before using them or preparing them for the week. The vinegar pulls any chemicals off of the produce and vinegar is a strong antiseptic so it will kill any bacteria that may be...
