In addition to the Russian sister image, the rubber suit "incognito" woman had me laughing too. Those things are still around?? This thread has been the highlight of my day - thanks! Heidi

Ok, I'm getting some great afternoon laughs with this thread. The Russian sisters, OMG... I don't have much to add to what's been said but DH has some very "interesting" locker room stories from our local YMCA. Apparently old men are not that modest - walk around the locker room without a...

Yes, thank you bunches!! I love iTrain workouts a LOT. I really like the ITritrain where they mix up tread/climb/cycle/tread. It goes so fast and I burn lots of calories. It's great for those with bad knees/feet as you don't spend too much time on one machine. I highly recommend these...

My MIL is an alcoholic - not sure if she fully believes it, but I think my DH is coming around. MIL thinks her husband is but that she is fine - all the attention is on him because he can't control his alcohol as well as her. He's been hospitalized for pancreatic/liver problems several times...

Well, crap, I'm starting Yaz on Sunday so I hope I don't gain weight! I was on bcp years ago and don't remember too much of a problem. But, Yaz is supposed to help with PMS problems -- so, I figure it's worth it to gain 3-5 pounds vs. being so b*tchy - at least I'm sure my family thinks so ;)...

Hitting close to home for me too, in a way. My brother and his wife graduated from VT last year - my brother has his degree in engineering. Spent a LOT of time in that exact building and his wife lived in that same residence hall. Apparently he has several friends that have accounts of the...

I'm frustrated as well here in OH, but I'll have to say I learned long ago after moving here that spring doesn't officially "spring" and STAY sprung until, oh, about May. Those sporadic warm, balmy days sure do get taunt us, though, don't they? At least I'm in NW Ohio -- my in-laws in suburb...

Hmmm...a two year old...I'm thinking you are not going to be able to fully concentrate on your workout and may risk injury if you are preoccupied with keeping one eye on him. Just my opinion. I have much older kids - ages 9 and 11, and they know that when I'm exercising they are NOT to...

Hey, definitely been there/done that! I've tried being an early morning exerciser, and I just can't do it for that reason. I feel like a sloth - just can't get myself moving! Enjoy your walk today, and don't fret it. Try again tomorrow. I've learned not to let the guilt of not exercising...

I have similar problems occasionally. My morning java usually gets things rolling, but sometimes I still have issues. The bloating and gas is what plagues me the most, and I don't think it's because I've increased my fiber too much/too fast either. I just think I have trigger foods that I...

Thanks for the free codes - the workouts are great! I got one elliptical 40 min. one and then one triworkout with treat/elliptical/bike then back to tread. I burned 730 calories with that one. Very fun and a nice change from my usual routine. I had to laugh, though, with the two that...

Gwen was fun to watch. I liked her as a music guest/mentor. She was up front and honest. I don't think she was lip-synching. I usually really watch for that. She was good! Better than Diana Ross was - oy! Heidi

You know, I'm not sure why I get so roped into this show each and every year. It's so silly, yet I can't stop! The whole Sanjaya thing is getting annoying, quite honestly. So much media hype now that he won't get voted off for a while. Have you noticed how many news shows talk about it? In...

Hi everyone! My sons got Ipods for Christmas, and DH and I loved them so much we got ourselves the cool electric blue one! We have had so much fun loading our favorite music from CD's and from itunes. My question is this -- I know there are podcasts for running and prepping for 5k's and...

Thanks for all the advice! I did B&G on Mon. so I was pretty miserable last night and again this am. Getting out of my chair and squatting down is torture. I'll go for the tylenol vs. the ibuprofen to see if that helps some and do some light stretching. I don't mind being a little sore, but...

Mine is too - OSU Buckeyes!! Heidi

Thanks for all the advice and "been there,done that"s. I really am enjoying the change - been for several walks/runs lately. I have spring fever in a bad way, and it's been nice enjoying the little bit of nice weather we are having (not that it will last long - will be in the 30's by this...

I chuckled at your response to the nimrod. Way to go! And, yes, I've become more vocal with age. Funny thing is...I'm getting more and more like my mother every day. I used to want to cringe and crawl in a hole when she voiced her opinions. Now, I'm doing it! Everything comes full...

I haven't stepped in a few weeks. Not sure why - just got burned out. Needed a break from worrying about when to fit my workout in, obsessing about exercise, losing weight...does anyone ever just quit for a while? Don't get me wrong, I only lasted about 2 weeks with NO exercise because I...

As I was getting through B&G today (just the B portion), I realized as my legs were starting to quiver and give out that I'm in BIG trouble for the next two days. Do any of you do anything to help prevent the DOMS? Lots of fluids? Ibuprofen? Pray? :) I remember the very first time I ever...
