emmaboo ditto to what everyone said. i also use this little trick when the beat up mnster comes to take up residence on my shoulder: what example am i setting for my kids when i diss myself? kids sense it. so give yourself a break, give your kids a good example of someone who stays in the...

All I want to say As the sister of a gay man, and cousin to a gay woman I will ask all of you with any love in your heart: do you think that given that my brother has been chased and beaten walking down the street with his other gay friends, that he has been ridiculed by doctors when getting...

Yes I Did! 7:30 a.m. this morning. No lines. Very emotional for me. Will not say who I voted for but I did cry over the historic nature of it (that might give it away - no wait, there are many "firsts" on both ballots so my secret is safe). How could you not?? Also because it is the first...

Kathryn I cannot believe I like Turbo Jam but I do. I am so NOT the dancy aerobunny type. I started boxing at the gym years ago so have a high standard in the kick box department. Tae Bo used to do it for me but not any more. Got Turbo Jam on sale and whaddya know, I dig it. Not extreme but...

Green cleaning stuff Hey Gayle. As a greenie for 7 years now when it comes to home cleaning products, I can say I have found a good many things on drugstore.com. Also check out a book called Better Basics for the Home. Good stuff in there. Lately the Stop N Shop in my area has added to...

I so agree with you all!!!! Oh thank you for this thread! I posted last weekend that I was starting a rest week because I was soooo burnt out and bone tired from weeks of heavy lifting. I am on day five and feel like I could take a month off. You know, I am almost 45 years old. My body...

Thanks everyone. I sit here on Day Three, and you know I feel pretty good. Got out in the fresh air which helped. And I slept last eve 9 1/2 hours, which has not happened in about a year. Staying positive! I will report back when i return to let you all know how I feel. Julie

So what has worked for this 44 year old I superimpose pictures of myself on Laura Max' body and that seems to do it (: But seriously, as a former 6 day a week cardio gal, after havng two kids I tried it all. Not that lots of extar weight was a problem but the jiggles was. And here is my...

So at last I have given in before I get a fever and have to go to bed for 3 days, and taken a rest week as of yesterday. So can I vent? My muscles ache even more, I am T-I-R-E-D and I eat everything not nailed down. I have been working out very hard the last few weeks, my version of "fitness...

Voting Spouses I might have it worse: we do vote the same but before I married my hubby he was apathetic about socio-political issues. In my family, apathy doesn't cut it so he started to come around. And them some!! Today, with this election, well the guy is obsessed!! Watching the news...

Hey Janie, let me take a different track here and focus on your results. I have two DDs 7 and 5, i work full time. So feel your pain! Always have been a morning exerciser. But what I want to know is what are you doing in thoe 30 - 60 minute workouts that is NOT bringing you the results...

Rose Petals, do me a favor will you? Call the nearest domestic abuse hotline in your area. These are miracle organizations, and can offer you the support you need now - including how to keep your ex away, how to work within the system to get what you need and rightfully deserve. Trust me on...

In my 20s, I once read in one of my macrobiotic journals (when i was going through a very strict/obsessive phase in my life) that how we eat is more important than what we eat. In other words, to paraphrase, it is better to light your candles and lay out your finest china to slowly savor and...

If others have posted on this, forgive my asking again. But has anyone done these new workouts? How are they? Are they advanced enough? His stuff lately has been kinda wimpy for my taste. Julie Fit Over 40

Wow Janie I am getting a bit teary here! I have always admired your spirit, dedication to family and wisdom. You deserve to be fought for, as your husband clearly knows! He is a lucky man to have such love and support. It reminds me that indeed we get married to make our spouse's life...

It's me, the rare checker, here to steal ideas for workouts. (: I ran 4 miles today, and did four "pick ups" to challenge the legs. Legs are feeling really strong from a winter's worth of strong lifting. My running has been great since I started up again in earnest this last week...

Brooke, all good advice so far but just wanted to add: DOING THE HAPPY DANCE FOR BROOKE!!!! Congratulations and welcome to the boards friend. You blong here! Julie Fit Over 40

Good question Mo! I am not getting one of those checks since it has an income cut off and we don't qualify. But I do donate a good amount to charity. And I drive a 10 year old car because it gets good gas mileage and doesn't pollute the air so much (it's a Honda, you just can't kill those...

It is me, the rare checker inner and schlubb. I slept in, just needed sleep. Will try to get run in later or something. Yesterday I kicked butt however: 45 minute turbo jam workout (don't make fun of me but I really love these, great for the core) then heavy upper body with trainer. (20 lbs...

OK my two cents. Not in the history of this country has a president ever, ever instituted a tax cut during a war. If anything speaks to incompetence, that is it. We are supposed to, as a country, pull together during war and make sacrifices together. Which means, you spend LESS (oh how un...
