    Who's In??

    I'm in #23. My very first one. Be gentle with me, m'kay?:D:p The hubby has never been out east, so we're trying to find a way to combo it with a family vacation, too. Excited!!! Nan

    Problems with X10 series dvds?

    Try your X10 series in a different DVD player, or the computer and see if it still skips/freezes. Sometimes a player will play every DVD in the house except one. My KPC has a sticky point in it on the downstairs DVD player, but not the upstairs DVD or the computer. I have no idea why. If it...

    Rockout Knockout Heavy Bag bonus

    I have the pink Everlast 12oz gloves, and they work fine. I tend to go down a bit slow, though. I always think they're going to slide on the carpet, but they never do. Nan

    Severe Weather

    It's a lovely 13 below here this morning. Glad they called yesterday and cancelled school for today. No way my son was walking to school in this. We have probably about a foot of snow down, but they were working like crazy to clear the roads yesterday. Hopefully, the roads are clear when I go...

    Paul Katami DVD set

    I've been eyeballing these. I have two of his kettlebell workouts and love them. The KB workouts of his are harder than they look. I just don't have time, for these. 2014 is planned already, with STS starting yesterday, then P90X after that. Then marathon training so the running mileage really...

    massage tools?

    I got a Stick for Christmas. Love it! I had tried it before but finally have my very own. Works wonders on my runner's legs and butt and post Cathe legs and butt :D https://www.thestick.com/ I have the Marathon Stick. I like it much better than my foam roller. I hardly used my foam roller...

    Merry Christmas! Which Cathe workout did you do today?

    Total Body Trisets Upper Body was on the menu, but.... I was up before everyone else so went for a 4 mile run, it was not cold (low 20s), we had a little snow falling, and it was dark and peaceful. Santa brought a heavy bag (Yay!!!) so then later I did the short premix of the UB work, and then...

    Xmas Food

    I'm going to Justine's house to eat!!! I second the Italian idea. It's a good one. We normally do more of a sit down Christmas dinner. Loads of ideas for that one, but not so much a casual all-day thing. I know you said you don't want snacky things all day, but you could do a nice...

    Any idea where I can find Xmas lights that blink intermittently?

    Look for lights that "twinkle," "glow," "sparkle," or have multiple functions. I have some I bought for work last year or the year before. Hobby Lobby I think. You can set them to do to 5 or 6 things. Nan

    Back to Chicago - Our Next Offsite Road Trip?

    Depending where you're coming from, Midway might be a tad cheaper, if you don't mind the drive. Nan

    New To Running

    I learned to run in 2009 with Cardio Coach. I took volume 5 outside and went at it. I figured it couldn't be too hard, after all I could IMAX 3 just fine. HA!!!! I almost died before I got down the block. I just stuck with it and kept at it, and in 2009 ran my first 5K race. In 2010 I did my...

    Core Curriculum

    My 7th grader is getting it here in Illinois. Because this is a nice forum, I won't tell you exactly what I think :p:o:eek: Basically, it's a truckload of hooey! Nan

    X10 X77

    Ah, I couldn't help it. Curiosity got the best of me yesterday :p Loved it. That is a tough one, though. It's more cardio than weights, and I'm not sure I would count the weight work as "weight work", if that makes any sense. Although, after all the hopping and the bopping, and the huffing and...

    They came!!!

    Mine showed up yesterday - 10/01, outside of Chicago. I can't wait. I'm eyeballs deep in marathon training, but will find a way to squeeze at least one in this week. nan

    Anyone can/preserve?

    oooh.... have fun!!! I've been wanting to try it, but really don't want to poison my family. I can cook/bake just fine, but I'm a little nervous about canning. I've read several books about it from the library, with some really good sounding recipes, and really want to do it. But haven't bought...
