When I do abs the only thing I focus on is contracting the muscles, & keeping them contracted during the entire workout. I'd never really thought about sucking in my stomach during my regular ab routine, although when I take pilates that's one of the things they make you do--the instructor...

OMG! Are they going out of business? I've gotten half my work wardrobe from there (of course I rarely buy work clothes, mostly what I spend money on are workout & party clothes ;-) ). For some reason I find that very sad. They've been around for so long & I do have a bunch of stuff from...

Nah, I couldn't do any of that stuff. My boss is the top guy here--he's like the CEO--& he's very immature & demanding, he basically thinks this entire place is here to do his bidding whether it's personal or professional. No matter how tactful it would pi$$ him off & make my life miserable...

Boss brought his 9 YO daughter in this morning & dumped her on me. I just don't get this. I work for municipal government. I am not a babysitter. Have these people never heard of daycare?

Try ebay. I got a brand new original step on ebay, it was $35 plus like $20 for shipping. I totally understand space issues--I have to move my love seat & end table every morning LOL. And even then I can't do an outer thigh off the right end of my bench or I end up kicking the wall. :o

You have to be careful about steps that aren't like the original step. That one looks like it's hard plastic, like the Reebok step which I used to have. Tough on the knees, also it didn't have good grips on the bottoms which makes it tough on non-carpeted flooring, it can slide around a lot.

Candi, I don't consider 50 old. This lady was in her late 60s at least, probably in her 70s (Short Hills ladies keep cosmetic surgeons on retainer LOL). Frankly that's what was so disturbing about it. Can you just imagine someone that age behaving that way? God help us if she has...

I know Wendy, I'm feeling a little left out. :-( I'm only about 30 minutes from where you guys met. Definitely let me know next time you guys get together. :)

I do all my weight training at the gym & also cardio on their machines on the weekends. I really love the gym--I like the opportunity to meet new people, I like the inspiration I get from others, I like the variety it offers me. My gym is really great--we have a spin studio, a yoga studio, a...

In the past there has been a member or two who send rude, stalkerish emails to other members.

Oh my neighbor goes to the Cheesecake Factory all the time (she loves the Menlo Park Mall), she says it's great. But I think she's missing out on the Fox & Hound. :)

I'm in north Jersey, AKA Soprano land. :P Kassia the cop said the same thing--she just HAD to have that spot--also this is Short Hills which is one of the wealthiest areas in the country & most of the women don't work, the spend their days at beauty salons, health clubs with their personal...

I would suggest your weight loss supplements be diet & exercise. ;-)

I was pulling into the parking lot of my grocery store right after I left the gym. The lot has spaces like this, you know, where two rows of cars park facing each other: -l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l- So I'm pulling into one spot & this old lady in a brand new Mercedes SUV is pulling into the...

Mmmmm that pizza looked yummy--where did you guys eat? OK I know you both live near me--I'd like you guys to think about a short road trip to Essex County for my annual Xmas party--December 9th, I can even give you a place to crash. :)

I agree Lori--there's no way that scumbag could've figured out how to get Bree dressed again. Frankly this whole thing is irritating the crap out of me b/c Bree isn't stupid, but any idiot can see that George has total stalker qualities. And I'm pretty sure he killed Rex--are they just gonna...

I rented this little house in college & every month or so I'd get woken up at 2 or 3 am by the couple who lived behind me. It was really awful--screaming the worst swear words imaginable at each other, obviously drunk or on drugs, and often you could hear the guy beating up his wife or whoever...

LOL! A souffle! I've heard the same thing about sleeping on your back. Something about how gravity will keep the skin pulled back & tight at night to prevent lines. I can't do it--I'm much more comfortable on my side or stomach.

I use a variety of different things, but one thing I tried recently & have stuck with is vitamin E oil. You can get a jar at your drugstore for less than $10. I put it on every night & that "parchment" look my skin was getting has totally disappeared. Of course it's not great for my...

makes me crazy! I swear they're made for people who are completely out of shape. Whenever I buy tops I have to get mediums b/c my shoulders & arms aren't a size 2 like the rest of me. So it's always snug in the shoulders & arms but huge from like my armpits down. And with pants I have a...
