Ok, so maybe this will be TMI, but this past fall, the calendar caught up with me and I had my first colonscopy. On prep day, I had my usual BM in the AM, fasted for the day, took the kit that evening and did NOT have any weird stuff come out ... it was basically all clear liquid --- the same...

just a friendly bump ...

Congratulations on your weight loss last year! And on quitting smoking this year! That's two huge lifestyle changes. I'm sorry to hear about your leg, but try to be patient. I'm trying to consider my rehab as part of the process of getting fitter ... it'll just take a bit longer. You might...

I've used the carton-egg whites in the microwave -- they work the same as real eggs (they are real eggs minus the yolks). I've not thought about making them ahead in the oven in muffin tins ... I'll have to give a try. Thanks, Deb

Hi Cathe, Congratulations on your launching of a new product ... it sounds fabulous! I've been doing your workouts for awhile (minus plyos) but suffered a rotator cuff injury this fall and just had surgery 2 weeks ago and started rehab exercises today. So I know I'll be spending some time...

owhhh, my heart aches for you ... so sorry to hear of your loss and concern for your other companions ---hope it turns out ok. Tipper was lucky to have chosen you for his last venture. Take care, Deb

My condolensces ... Deb

Hello, So, it's only been about 2 weeks and you've lost ~3#?? I'd say that's pretty darn good! They say that the slower you lose excess weight, the more likely it'll stay off. Congratualtions on the changes you've made! Keep up the good work! Deb

So sorry to hear of your kitty. My oldest cat is beginning to have problems too and I fear for his loss also. However, if it helps any ... my mother died 2 years ago of kidney failure and the doctors reassured us that it was one of the least difficult ways to pass ... the body just eventually...

Look up which forms you have to file for the trusts .. the software works fine for 1040s but not 1041s. Since they are living trusts, it's probably the 1040 you need, but check to be sure. Deb

I think you can get a good workout with substitutions, altho it isn't quite the same. I've used a baseball bat, a stretch band held taunt, a mop handle. You get the bending, stretching motion without the extra weight. Deb

Hi! I would also get Kelly's StepBox for variety. I don't have Taebo, so can't comment on that. I do have the Powerstrike that collage sells, the instruction and form is super, however, the workout is more of an intermediate in my opinion --- it's not the same as the original Powerstrikes...

In Pure Strength Legs when doing the floor inner thigh lifts, Cathe says prior to the second set, "ok we're going to go a little longer, but, not quite as long cuz I know you're tired". First time I heard that "we're going to go a little longer" I thought I'd choke until she says the second...

Congrats on being ok's to start weight training again! Shoulder injuries can be pesky things. I've been dealing with one since Sept -- will be having surgery on it later this week. I'm looking forward to it eventually being healed and being ok'd to start upper body weight training again too...

You know, the effectiveness of any method increases if you add a second method. If your periods are regular, you could use the calendar/rhythmic method along with the sponge, then also use condoms during your fertile time, or abstain during that time. BTW, not every woman experiences...

Welcome and Happy Holidays! I find this forum to be the most pleasant of any I've visited. Hope you enjoy it too! Deb

Low Impact Circuit has premixes so you can just use it for cardio, you could also use it for weight workout on it's own. I don't care much circuits, so I often do the premix for cardio, and then a premix for weights ... highly versatile. The classics would be good to get a handle on Cathe's...

Congratulations! I hope the career you're looking for materializes also! I got my MA in December years ago and on Jan 2 I took off for Puerto Vallarta to celebrate for a week ... had been looking forward to it for months. Be sure to reward yourself somehow. Happy New Year! Deb

Quick! Run to the store and get some Astragulus in the vitamin/herb dept. Take some extra VitC and zinc too. This may lessen the symptoms. HTH, Deb

I'm sorry things are so difficult between you and your family, but it sounds like you've learned valuable lessons on how you want your faamily to be (and not). Many cities have apartment complexes that have little studio apartments, some furnished, some not. They often are rented out on a...
