    Morton's Neuroma

    Thanks Gillian! :) I will definitely try that (already have the water bottle in the freezer ;)). I'm not certain on the number of cortisone shots you can have, just going from memory. But I'll definitely ask about if I end up back at the doctor. Thanks again! Julie

    Morton's Neuroma

    I have a history of getting this in my left foot, which first started years ago when I was running and waiting tables at the same time in college. When I was first diagnosed the doctor gave me a shot of cortisone and it worked like magic. It has come and go over the years, but always mildly...

    Holy Bosu abs, Batman!

    That made me laugh! :D I actually did some ab work yesterday (side crunches like Cathe does and those X hovers you posted the other day) in addition to Kick, Punch and Crunch. I woke up this morning with a stiff back and then I remembered using the BOSU! Wow, they really worked me! Have to...

    Favorite Thanksgiving eats?

    My absolute favorite is sweet potato casserole. I do love the traditional Thanksgiving meal, but I could resist anything but the sweet potato casserole. However, this year I don't think it would be wise of me to make it since we're not having company and no one else in my family will eat it.:eek:

    Holy Bosu abs, Batman!

    I have been seriously contemplating getting rid of mine until reading this thread.:confused: I bought mine from Play It Again Sports (it was a second hand one) for $50. It is very good quality and was barely used. I wasn't sure how much I would use one so I was reluctant to pay full price...

    Equipment Needs for STS

    Thanks again, Dela! I am seriously thinking about getting that barbell you recommended. It looks like a great deal. And I think I may have found a good deal on a pull up bar. I'm so excited! :D

    Equipment Needs for STS

    Wow, Dela, thanks so much for the details! I have everything but the vest, and don't even know how the tubing would be used.:o I have a step, but it's not Cathe's (totally regret this for several reasons) so I don't have the slanted risers, but I make do when necessary. And thanks for the...

    Equipment Needs for STS

    Thanks, geomom! That helps a lot! I was hesitant to even start the one rep max tests yet due to my lack of weights. I'm definitely going to get some 20s before starting. Thanks again - I really appreciate your advice.:) Julie

    Anyone have the Dyson Vacuum cleaner?

    We also have the Dyson Animal vacuum cleaner. We bought ours at Target about 6 years ago after we got our first Golden Retriever (we now have a puppy also:)). It was definitely worth the money if you have shedding dogs. $400 is a great price too!

    Equipment Needs for STS

    I've been itching to get STS for some time now, but it's getting to the point where I'm thinking of it daily!:eek: What's been holding me back (aside from the cost) is not knowing what equipment I need. My dumbbells only go up to 15 pounds, and my barbell (including the bar) has weights that...

    Halloween Costumes

    We went to my neighbor's Halloween party last weekend and my husband and I dressed up as Sonny and Cher, going all out with wigs and platform shoes! It was so...much...fun! Only one or two couples were not dressed up and it made for such a fun mood! My husband loved the fact that women he...

    Knee Strap Would you mind telling me what kind of knee strap you have and/or where you purchased it? I should probably be wearing one for my knee but don't have a clue what type to wear. Thanks! Julie

    Please tell me about Rhythmic Step

    Thanks. :) Thanks everyone for all of your responses, and in such detail! I have decided to get this one! After watching them a second time the only one I'm questioning is IMAX, but think I can handle that with some modifications. I love IMAX 2 and seem to get through that one okay. It is...

    sad

    kariev, Just wanted to say I'm glad your Sunny Bear is doing well. I have cried over my dog's health just like I have my kids'. I'm sorry you are going through a lot right now. There have been times in my life I have felt like I was drowning in my sorrows and the best thing was to spill it...
