How exciting. My husband and I are planning on catching it at the matinee tomorrow (I am calling that the benefit of being a laid off MN state employee). I read the whole series and loved it. After seeing Deathly Hollows Part 1, DH looked at me and said if it was that dark he couldn't go see...

I just got a Kindle for my birthday and I have been looking for books to put on it. I think I will load the Hunger Games next. Thanks for the recommendation. Is there such a thing as a book check in on this forum? Shayne

I'm right there with you. I never get much done in July because I just can't pull myself away from the tv. I have been watching for about 20 years and each year I like it more. I love not only the athleticism, but the tactics, the fact that cycling is really a team sport, and the fair play...

How about a wide mouth thermos?

Mine makes a "shushing" noise each revolution which gets louder as I add more tension. I don't consider it very loud compared to other equipment. If your is new, I would look into having it checked out using the warranty before you try to fix it yourself. Congrats on the new fitness...

I have a GWF and it also registers very few calories when I spin. That makes sense since during spinning you are moving your arms relatively little compared to your legs and it is looking for motion. It really doesn't bother me much since I know what I did for exercise. If you want a...

Thank you for the recommendations. I really appreciate it. Shayne

I have a friend (who is male) who I believe would benefit greatly from Pilates. He has agreed to try a Pilates video and I believe he would be consistant in using it. I am looking for a video recommendation for him that would do a good job explaining appropriate form. I think he is so...

I like to sew. I used to sew all of my own clothes (way back when, when I was an accountant). Then when I changed jobs to work in the fitness industry I still made all of my clothes for work, the difference was that I began to really like my work clothes. And they were cool. Now it seems I...

I have to travel a lot for work and I thought I had a tough time packing food with my food allergies, but now I have decided that I have it easy after hearing your schedule. When I travel I always have a bag of what we call my "safety food" since you never know what you will find. The food...

I was dreaming about the Kangoo's last night. I dreamed that DH and I were on a vacation and we stopped in a Dick's Sporting Goods (boy the service was terrible). But we saw the Kangoos, and they were on clearance for $41 :D We tried them on and really liked them, we each decided to get a...

Were you able to try them out before you purchased them? I am very interested in the Kangoos, but I am hesitant to spend that much money without trying them first.

I have been epilating my legs since I was 18 (I am 41 now). I don't remember how often I had to do it in the beginning, but I can tell you I only have a few remaining hairs on each leg. They are so light you can only see them in direct sunlight, and then it is only when see my legs lit from...

Now I want to go to Tuesday Morning :o

Has anyone ever heard of or tried this set? I bumped into it today and am really intrigued. From what I can tell it is 10 different workouts from 10 different trainers. I am not sure, but I think it is a compilation of existing workouts since the one from Christy Taylor is Mission: Possible...

I have a Mirena IUD. Actually I am on my second one. I had my first one for 5 years, when it needed to be taken out I had a second one put in. I could not be happier with it. It works not only for its intended function, but also has some wonderful side effects...like no period for 6 years...

Though I had a couple of not so good days this week I felt pretty good today. So much so that DH and I went canoeing on a local lake this morning. As we were canoeing and chatting it felt so...normal. And hopeful. It really is just beautiful outside. Life is good.

Here is my favorite recipe for lotion/cream. It is so good that most people I know have made it a time or two. I know the prospect of making your own lotion is daunting, but give it a try (at least you know it is chemical free). When I am making this I usually quadruple the recipe since it is...

Thank you so much for your reply. I am excited that going on a road trip is still a possibility for me :D

I have recently been diagnosed with a series of food allergies. While I feel so much better having removed these foods from my diet, eating anytime I don't prepare the food is proving to be a real challenge and require a lot of advanced planning. One of my goals in the next few years is to...
