Great thread Morningstar! We had a similar discussion in my office last week after we ripped apart an email full of grammatical errors. It was painful to read and the writer came off looking uneducated and unprofessional.

It's been a crazy week! My best friend's father passed away suddenly last Monday. She was very close to her father and had lost her mother 8 years ago so she is taking it very hard. She got a call at work from the police in the morning. It is really sad. Needless to say it was a very draining...

I wrote a post on Sunday and lost the whole thing. I didn't bother rewriting. My fall yoga classes started over the weekend. I'm teaching a kids class for the first time and the kids seem to have enjoyed it.:) Every once in a while the universe sends a challenging student and i had one in my...

The workout manager should automatically calculate the calories burned when you select the workout and mark it as complete. You should be able to click on "show details" and it should show you everything. I checked back and when i did Body Fusion it came up as 400 calories burned. Hope this helps!

I find that most of Cathe's DVD's can be done with just hand weights. For toning i really like Muscle Endurance. It's an all weight total body workout that does high reps to build muscle endurance. Even though Cathe and crew use a barbell for some of the exercises you can sub in dumbells. I have...

We usually give money or jewelry in my culture, but i have also seen people give keepsakes such as bibles or music boxes.

I love the movie Practical Magic! I also love autumn and agree that there are certain books and movies that i prefer to watch during that season.

If people really do know better, then i am at a loss to understand why they behave the way they do!:confused: I wouldn't think anyone would go to a job interview thinking they look bad. I would think they actually selected those clothes specifically for the interview. To them, it's appropriate...

I totally agree with Fitnessfreak. I wouldn't ask someone not to smoke if you are outside, I would just move so that i'm not inhaling the second-hand smoke.

I agree with you Nan, but i really believe that people really do not know any better. I'm so glad my parents taught my brothers and I how to dress appropriately for occasions when we were growing up. We NEVER wore jeans, flip flops, or running shoes when we went out to special functions or...

Yesterday i did Shiva Rea's Beginner Flow DVD. I rearranged the order of the sequences so i started with the more energizing and ended with the more relaxing. Mylindak: Great job on getting started and all the improvements you have made so far! Body Fusion is a good workout to gradually work...

Yesterday i did Shiva Rea's Beginner Flow DVD. I changed the order of the sequences so that the more relaxing sequences were done towards the end of the practice. Laura: I love the theme for your daughter's party. Sounds like it's going to be a lot of fun and i really like the idea of the...

NP! I look forward to reading your updates on the check-in!

There are times when my schedule is so busy that i workout between 8-9pm since that is the only time i can fit it in. Over the years i have also worked in hotels and bars and had some crazy hours. I used to have a membership at a 24hr gym and would work out when i could. I've gone to the gym...

Hi Mylindak, You are more than welcome to join this check-in.:) If you are a beginner or just getting back to working out regularly, you will find a lot of motivation and encouragement here. I look forward to getting to know you. What kinds of workouts are you starting off with?

Quick Check-in: I just came back from my WW meeting and i lost 2.8lbs last week.:D The weeks where my weight stayed the same or i gained a little were the weeks that i wasn't diligent about tracking so it's motivation to keep tracking.

Checking in with Shiva Rea Daily energy yesterday. I did the following segments: Earth- this is the segment i had tried last week. I really like it Fire-this is a challenging & energizing segment with lots of pushups. Love it! Forward Bends- a 6 minute add-on Shavasana-relaxation completes the...

I tried to post over the weekend and lost my post for some reason. :mad: Yesterday I did Shiva Rea Daily Energy segments: Earth, Fire, Forward Bends, Shavasana. I'm really loving this DVD so far.:) Bridget: Have a wonderful and safe trip! Phoenix: congrats on getting past the halfway point...

I would tower over the whole Cathe crew too, including Rhonda from the older workouts since I'm 5'9".

Checking in with my own yoga practice completed. It felt really good to really push myself today after doing lots of Shiva Rea last week. Shadowpup: Welcome back....and have another safe trip!:p Laura: Love your new picture of you doing chakrasana! Looks great! Michelle: Sounds like you...
