Help! My DD is going to be 14 Friday. She has a Nintendo DS and that's it. Apparently it's time to get with it and purchase something for her but I don't know what. She wants to be able to play music, take pics and video, get on the internet, maybe text (although she only has two friends she...

I hesitantly started Ultimate Yogi 65 (!) days ago and had the same apprehension. I had to give up running and weights six months ago due to some injury issues. Even with just walking (I'd throw in some walking uphill lunges) for months I was able to run 3 miles on a whim one day. And yoga -...

Love it! Such a testament to Cathe's instruction and results. She's taught me so much over the years. I also have Cathe to thank for my butt ;)

So last week while I was volunteering at school a mom came up and asked me what I did for exercise because I looked so fit :) At 42 I'll definitely enjoy that! But Cathe is the one to thank. Until I started with her (about 13 years ago) I had no butt and was just basically short and thin...

I've been following a primal/paleo eating plan for two years and when I fall of the wagon my gut pays for it. I used to get a veggie sub from Subway and would make MANY trips to the bathroom the following day. For some reason I attributed it to all the veggies in the sub. Then after a couple...

Clare - getting ready to start day 47. The fact I've managed to do yoga every day for 47 days speaks a lot fo the series. My only other yoga had been Cathe. She's the only one I could stand. I'll give you a rather random list of my experience so far. The breathing was extremely hard for...

I always swore I would keep my weekly mileage under 25 - which I mostly did. Just set the goal of running a half before I turned 40. Then I did one more and it was over about 6 months later. PT even did a gait analysis. Basically my spine curves significantly coming out of my pelvis and it's...

Just looking for some company right now! Race season is gearing up and I'm feeling "left in the dust" but sort of okay with it. Without boring details - I had a good 12+ years of running with 2 half marathons before I had to hang it up. Months of physical therapy, prolotherapy and denial...

Yup - Yin today :) I'd love to try it before bed but with kids around it won't really work. I usually follow a paleo/primal blueprint eating plan but I will do the 3 detox plans in UY. Figure it's nothing compared to 108 days of yoga! I've completed 2 or 3 rounds of STS but this is...

To all those who enabled - thank you! I"m on day 24 and it's been interesting! After 2 weeks I noticed my back pain is almost gone. I can breathe through my nose better (TMI - had LOTS of discharge :) ). Did Strength today and it's getting harder, not easier. I think it's because I"m getting...

I definitely agree no certain eating style fits everyone. I probably won't go back to eating pasta, breaad and drinking large glasses of milk (probably explains the stomach ache I had for like 20 years) but there is a kale risotto I love too much to completely give up rice. And I do love good...

I've been Paleo (not strict all the time, e.g. Christmas, vacations)and I love it. I dropped a few pounds but noticed awesome changes like: more energy, no PMS, no more intestinal problems, and my hair quit falling out. The sink always looked like I was shedding before. I'll at times enjoy...

Woke up this morning in unbelievable pain! Looked it up and sounds like I'm experiencing called a cortisone injection flair. Either inflammation or crystalization can cause increased pain that lasts 1 - 3 days. Didn't happen last time but guess that doesn't matter. Took ibu and at least the...

Okay ... I had an injection in my shoulder today. Brief story... I've been in PT for pain in my shoulder. The other shoulder - went through the same thing 4 years ago and ended up having surgery (anchors and sutures and bone fragment removal). The usual procedure on the other shoulder and this...

Lisa - thanks for the times you noted. I did mountain pose today and it was 30 minutes.

Thanks for the info! I had only thought of putting kitchen scraps in - never occured to me to use other things. Do you spread in in the garden as fertilizer through the summer or just in the spring?

Anyone here have experience composting? I'm thinking about starting but have no idea how. An internet search was overwhelming! Any info or specifics on what sites to visit would be appreciated. I figure this will really help the garden this year. If the snow here in Michigan ever melts. Jen

I've done crosstrain and cardio and getting ready to do strength. I'd say they come in around an hour and some a little more. Collage video had times listed for each disc but it didn't say which disc - just flood/standing yoga. I will tell you from the 2 I've done my arms were goners...

I have HC volumes 2 and 3. These things are no joke and they make my arms burn ... and core of course. I thought my upper body was quite strong until I found myself collapsed on the ground during these because I couldn't hold myself up any longer. Which also cause hysterical laughing. That...

Enablers! All of you! I've been doing his Foundations now almost every day for 2 weeks. Noticed this morning I wasn't stiff getting up in the morning. And yesterday I woke up and found myself actually wanting to do yoga. Which is a huge change for me. Conversing with my sister and might go...
