    lunging substitutes in Butts & Gutts

    I would be interested in a good substitution as well as I have some IT band problems on the lateral surfaces of both knees. I really try to change up my workouts - some running (which really will get it flared up), walking, weight workouts, some step. Anyway, today was my first time doing B&G...

    Birth Control Advice/ques.

    Boy, can I relate to a lot of this and the timing couldn't be better as I'm having some real issues with my period. I was on the pill for years then went off and decided to do no hormonal therapy - we just use condoms. Besides, I had so much breakthrough bleeding with bcp in the past. Well...

    Peanut Butter

    I agree, tneah, I spent about $6.50 for a jar at Wild Oats - I was so excited after hearing all the buzz about it on here, so I couldn't wait to try it. Blech - odd texture, not nutty enough for me either :-( So, I'll stick with my Naturally More from Wal-Mart, I guess. It has higher fat...

    What are some of the odd questions people ask?

    Not a current question people ask me, but when I was a child people used to ask me "where did you get that blonde hair?!" I remember being shy and feeling awkward and not knowing how to answer. I just said "God gave it to me" Seemed to work! Now I'd say, my hair stylist gave it to me...

    Hi

    I agree - the whole thing was fantastic -- from the game to the commercials to Prince! I had no time for potty breaks because I didn't want to miss anything. The commercials were hilarious. I was thinking about you, Terri, and was so glad your Colts won! I am also a big football fanatic...

    Do you feel sorry for "bad" American Idol contestants?

    RE: Do you feel sorry for Ashamed to admit it, but I've watched AI since season #2...I actually usually don't watch the auditions because I really do feel it is so "staged". It's all for entertainment with only glimpses of promising contestants. And, I agree, it does make me squirm some - not...

    Cathe or anyone- kids' workout video?

    Thanks Cathe and everyone who responded with links and ideas. I may give the Tae-Bo for kids a try. A friend of my older son has DDR - so that is a playstation 2 game? My boys just got a PS2 (bought it with accumulated money between the two of them) I'd spring for a DDR for them - so don't you...

    Cathe or anyone- kids' workout video?

    Hi Cathe and all, My 8 year old son is a bit on the heavy side - about 10-15 pounds overweight and he's very self-conscious about it. Unfortunately, his 10 year old brother is slim and wiry and very athletic, so this doesn't help his ego much that he is heavier than him. As a family we...

    BM2 Bootcamp pre-mix

    I'll second this! I really enjoyed this pre-mix alot. I didn't burn as many calories vs. a workout like drill max (550 vs. 650 for DM), but I really liked the changes - step,lower body, upper body, abs...it went by really fast, and I enjoy getting my HR down in a reasonable zone while doing...

    Cereal recommendations

    Hi Annie, Do you get Kellogg's brand? If so, all bran is very good and high in fiber - 1/2 cup has 13-14 grams of fiber! I usually add a bit of splenda and some blueberries. It gets my day going right (if you get my drift :)) Also, have you tried adding things to oatmeal to liven it up...

    So who is still waiting for their Cathe Calender?

    RE: Check with Customer Service - They're Fabulous! I would think perhaps they did lose it in the mail or something. I ordered mine the weekend of Christmas online and received it today. I love it, btw. Going to hang it up in my workout room today - once I get my butt out of my pj's and...

    I'm not the original poster here, but have appreciated the replies from teachers regarding Christmas gifts! Made me feel like I did the right thing as I purchased a book for the classroom library for my 5th grader and a bookstore gift card for my third grader. I think I will write a special...
