    Anyone NOT count calories?

    I have no idea how many calories I eat in a day. I know I eat a lot. There have been times where I started a count in the morning but thought "what's the point?". I weigh 10 lbs more than I did when I graduated high school but it is all just addition of muscle due to taking up weight lifting...

    How much time do you spend??

    1-2 hours 7 days a week. Been doing this for years. No injuries or "issues" with wear and tear on body parts. My workouts are as necessary to me as breathing is. I cannot remember the last time I was sick or even had a common cold. I mix things up a lot. Run, Spin, Bike, Step, Elliptical...

    Spinning Bikes- Need advice.

    I got my Johnny G spin bike almost 3 years ago. Paid about $1,000 for it. Never took a spin class before I got it. I LOVE it. At first I would put some kickin' music on and just go at it. Then I read about Spinervals on here and got a bunch of the competition series DVD's. They are awesome...

    Onion question

    "You should NEVER, NEVER, NEVER refrigerate onions (except scallion/green onions)" I have heard this before (about not refrigerating onions) but I have never heard a reason why. Anyone know? Just curious!:-)

    Hunger

    Yes me too! I have to eat every 2 hours . . . sometimes every hour. When we go out my husband also carries fuel around for me too!:P He says I have no reserves to pull from (low body fat) so when I am on empty I am seriously on EMPTY! He is also afraid I'll start chewing on him if he...

    Interesting things about you

    Here goes, I work full time and play full time and yet my house is so clean you could literally eat off the floors. I love speed. My first job was riding race horses. Now one of my favorite extra-curricular activities is driving race cars. I bond with men very easily. My husband is...

    Who is the breadwinner in your house?

    Both DH and I make quite a bit of money. As the years go by the delta between our incomes becomes larger as he is a partner in his company and gets bonus $$ and company shares. Nothing has ever changed in the way we think about our finances though. Right from the beginning of our relationship...

    Just Curious.... Does Anyone?

    Oh shucks, I did not mean to imply that anyone was bragging.:-) I too like to state simple facts and it appears that I am always "bragging" about how much I can lift and how many pullups I can do etc etc. The reality is I am a runt! A strong one but a runt nonetheless!!:o I am quite sure I...

    Just Curious.... Does Anyone?

    I go to a gym for most of my weight work. I lift rather heavy for my size. I use Cathe's weight workouts to supplement my gym workouts and I tend to go heavier than what she is lifting/pulling/pushing. HOWEVER, I can almost guarantee that when Cathe is not filming she lifts a heck of a lot...

    Why do people have more than 2 kids??

    I have been following this thread with much interest. I have read all the posts except those which started with mud slinging. I tend to tune out ALL the words of those who throw insults. I think Janice asked an honest question and I really admire some of the responses from those who have...

    Get ripped with kickboxing???

    > So I'm thinking that if you want >ripped arms, you really have to lift weights. > >Pinky I agree with Pinky on this one. I think you can get nicely toned arms by doing kickboxing. By toned I mean no wiggles or jiggles (especially in the tricep area!) But to get arms like Ilaria has...

    Mammogram question

    Hi Nancy, Yes I have been told the same thing. Only, they told me as soon as they did the mammogram and did the ultrasound while I was there. Apparently breasts are like everything else. Some are "dense" and some are not. . . I am only 33 and they seemed to find this to be a normal...

    Fit Chicks do not have skinny legs!

    I think that what is considered "skinny" and "fat" is relative to who is doing the looking. There are some who are not too keen on our beloved Cathe's physique. While I think those people must be out of their minds - they do exist! Having "chicken legs" doesn't mean a person is not fit...
