Forgot about Arrington! Love that place!!! :)

Hey Jody! You guys will be in my neck of the woods, well kind of. I live south of Nashville (grew up in Nashville). I suggest the Ryman Auditorium... See if you can get tickets to a show. It's very cool. It's a shame you guys won't have a car. I'd suggest getting breakfast at the Loveless Cafe...

YAY!!!! SO exciting!!!

Oh my gosh... I wish I hadn't have read that. As the mom of three little boys, this is gut-wrenching. So sad that his last moments were of his father doing this to him... What causes someone to be so evil? Heartbreaking...

Ah, thanks!!! I think you hit the nail on the head. I always get migraine-like headaches during my period, and I bet this is why! Can you OD on it, though? I mean, if I take Calm and then eat a big spinach salad with salmon and seeds on it, will I get too much Magnesium? I also take a multi (GMC...

Thanks! i mainly wanted to know more about it's weightloss benefits, but I thin the mood enhancer is a GREAT perk. I sometimes have horrible PMS blahs and I bet this would help. I just worry about side effects... Did you have any side effects?

I heard someone talking (Maybe Dr.Oz?) about taking 5htp and green tea as a successful aid in weightloss. I am anti-diet pills, but 5htp seems to have other great uses (sleep aid, mood lifter, etc.) BUT I don't know much about the side effects, and I am wary of that. (I have mitral valve...

I also like Champion. I get them at Target. After three kids, though, I have to wear two to keep the girls from wagging around on cardio day... (TMI? :o)

My boys (well two of the three... still have a little one at home) started back Thursday, and I cannot lie, the peace has been a welcomed change. I also am able to slowly restore my house to it's pre-summer neatness. The kids wreaked havoc on it this summer! I do miss the freedom and...

Saw the movie with my mom and sister Saturday, and it was oh-so-good. It totally did the book justice. Loved it. A word of advice for all of you going to see it: TAKE TISSUES! :) Even though I read the book, I was so deeply touched by the performances. Aibleen and little May Mobley will break...

Planning on getting on a better sleep schedule so I can move to mostly early morning workouts! Ugh. Taking ballet (hoping to perfect my turnout and flexibility). Also running (or walking-whatever I feel like :p) a 5-miler on Thanksgiving. Not giving up simple sugars during the holidays because I...

Thanks, Debbie! It's been short for awhile now. I've just been lazy getting my avatar changed. It's actually even shorter now. I figured why keep it long if I was always wearing it in pony tails anyway! Sooooo much easier now! :)

Love love loved the book! Loved it. Am going to see the movie tomorrow with my mom and sister!! Highly recommend the book! :)

Lately I have been working out 6 days a week and loving it. I used to do 5 days. My trick is I really don't schedule a rest day. Life usually forces me to take a rest day because of busy schedule, and if I've already taken a scheduled rest day, that makes me feel guilty. (stupid but true) My...

Thanks for the link, Michelle! Congrats on your good results! I'm psyched to do it now! :)

Thanks, Clare! I figured, I'm 37 and it's about time! I wrote my blog (strong magnolia) about it this week. Yes, let's make this the year of "who cares?!" :D

I hear ya. I love love love lifting. I just worry about going mainly into weight training and lowering my cardio. Also worried about keeping up my protein while staying mainly vegetarian (I eat fish)...

I took ballet from the time I was 3 until 16. A few years ago, when my oldest little boy was in kindergarten, I found out one of the mommies in the class was a classical ballet instructor. She had an adult class that I took until I got pregnant several months later with my third little boy. I...

Natalie- That's exactly what we were thinking of doing: heavy weights and HIIT workouts on cardio days. I also take ballet once a week. What have your results been with lifting heavy and lightening up on cardio, if you don't mind me asking? Have you leaned out and built muscle? I'm worried...

Hey guys, A friend of mine and I are going to do this together. We recently ordered the book, and she has heard wonderful things about the program. I want to do this before I start Cathe's low impact series. Have any of you done this? Did you lean out on it or just build muscle? (I want to...
