LAST EDITED ON Nov-11-02 AT 06:10PM (Est)[p]LAST EDITED ON Nov-11-02 AT 06:10 PM (Est) Angela - I love Arkansas. It is so pretty. I live in Dallas, TX, so my husband and I love to drive to the Ouachita region to get away from it all. We went to Lake Catherine near Hot Springs this weekend...

Hey Angela - I converted to doing light and heavy on the same week and I'm completely sold on it. I have definitely seen an improvement, both in visible muscle and strength. Good luck with that approach and I bet hubby will see a difference soon. My husband on the other hand says my arms are...

LAST EDITED ON Nov-08-02 AT 07:37PM (Est)[p]I think Cathe is 5 ft 2 Donna - I can't do those lunges either. I just tell myself that my legs are too short! So I just do them like normal lunges of the breadth of the step rather than the length but I imagine that its the length. So I reach...

Hi Edith - I've been through clean eating prison myself. I've done a fair bit of work to break my eating disordered patterns though and I refuse to label foods as clean or unclean anymore. Food is food and although its pays to be educated about how the body uses the nutrients we feed it...

Maybe there is a relationship b'ween ectos and digestive sensitivities. I've been having a lot of problems with a fiber heavy diet recently. All my favourite foods are giving me problems - broccoli, fiber one, beans, whole grains etc. Even dairy has been aggravating me. Might just consider...

RE: Murph...................... I meant the former wins every time!

RE: Murph...................... Even the thought scares me. I don't think I was ever fat but I was definitely heavier than what was healthy for my frame. When I was like that, I somehow lacked confidence and energy. I could never get moving and I don't need to go back there to remember how...

Kay, sending you lots of positive vibes. Don't beat yourself up or tie yourself down to the scale or cals. We need a different amount of cals everyday, so its kind of pointless to try and eat the same amount each and every single day. Also if the weight comes off slowly, it is more likely to...

Hi Deni - I've battled depression all my life and what I've learned is that the 'pull up your socks' or 'snap out of it' attitude has never worked for me. Depression is an illness and can rob you off the motivation that you need to do the things that you enjoy. I think you are being hard on...

Its getting cold but hiking trails can give you a great workout. A lot of them have uphill and downhill slopes and you can get a great interval workout without even realising it. Also you end up walking quite a distance, depending on the length of the trail. Plus all the fresh air, peace and...

I rest the barbell against a wall to minimise movement. Hope that helps.

One more vote for this tape being a monster. Has anyone had enough energy to check out Cedie during the hi/lo bit? She shows no physical signs of exertion through the entire thing and just keeps smiling. Also has anyone tried this tape after misjudging whether their last meal has been...

Hi Yen! I think I read that you worked in London. I walked out on a job fours years back when I lived in London (hated my boss) and it was tough going for 3 months. I temped for a while and even though the thought of temping puts a lot of people off, it can bring in some money and keeps you...

Pammer - Just to let you know that you are not alone. I was awful this weekend! I don't even want to list the crap I ate (makes me cringe). I got up today morning saying NEVER AGAIN! I've been really slack with the meal planning during the week and I think that is contributing to my binges...

I understand how you feel. The thought of an injury preventing you from enjoying what you love can be pretty scary. But the shoulders are a very delicate area and you should check it out asap. Its probably nothing too bad. I had a few problems with my shoulders when I first started working...

Funny that you should post this - I've been really letting myself go with junk food on weekends. I've also found that veggie soup and a piece of fruit is all I want for the rest of the day when I've indulged in something like a pizza and ice-cream lunch. I also try and fit in something like...

I love blueberries and use the frozen variety through winter. I think a medium sized packet has atleast 13g of sugar, all of which is probably natural sugar in the fruit. The best thing to do is check the ingredients as the above post says. Mine lists blueberries and nothing else.

Hi Julie, I think you are right about sticking to a rotation. I know I had the best results while doing PS for over 6 weeks. Thanks for reminding me of that. I usually get a good workout using a 45lb barbell with PSLA but even a 50lb barbell leaves me smiling after the S&H leg workout so I...

I think the TTA stands for the Tank Top Arm Rotation. A rotation for 10 weeks - I don't think I could handle that and the TTA looks pretty intense to me. Thought I would check in as I need some motivation. Like all the other ectos I've been suffering from a lot of soreness and fatigue -...
