    What do you do during your rest weeks?

    I have never ever taken a rest week. With the exception of the birth of my two boys via c-section - I took two weeks off and then I was walking several miles a day. Lately I have felt very tired like I need to just chill out. I am working on my NASM certification and I feel like I have worked...

    Desperate for a new mattress

    My DH husband and I NEVER sleep through the night, we toss and turn and wake up in pain. Our current mattress looks more like a hamock. The sleep number beds looks promising, however I heard that on the king mattress there is a "wedge" between the two air chambers. The memory foam mattress also...

    An I just rant about oil prices?

    I had an "energy audit" this winter, and she told me that radiator heaters are extremely efficient and dont cost a lot to run. Now may be a good time to stock up on them since winter is over and they should be on clearance.

    Workout videos tax deductable?

    Ok so this is probably a stretch, but I am working on my CPT and hoping that maybe just maybe workout videos would be considered an education expense. You never know, but somehow I think the answer would be a NO!

    fruit, veggies and healthy carbs

    what fun is life if you are constantly training and denying your body the food it needs to live. I would rather not have a perfect body (but be healthy) and enjoy many different types of foods. And hey if that means a cookie or two well thats ok too...

    Worst eating day of the week......

    Bad eating days, for me, seem to snowball from one small taste of something to eating the rest of the bag of popcorn and then proceeding to the local buffet. My worst eating day seems to always be my rest day..I seem to have this uncontrolled appetite on Sundays (my rest day), I know my muscles...

    fruit, veggies and healthy carbs

    Recently I saw a sample menu for someone who looks extremely ripped. But I noticed there was absolutely no fruit, hardly any vegtables,or anything with fiber in it, there was no wheat bread or wheat pasta. I know they are carbs and fruit contains sugar, but I think our body needs the vitamins...

    My DH's secret Myspace account

    Clarissa, I understand how you feel about not having friends. I moved from CA to AL last year with my DH and two kids. It was a hard move and a culture shock to say the least. I joined a local church and Bible Study and have been blessed with some of the greatest friends I have ever had in my...

    Who's tried Bento's new workouts?

    Has anyone wondered why Cathe switched production companies? I know she always wants to improve their product but she had worked with Greg for so many years it was suprising. I also noticed that Tracy S. has not used him for her more recent releases. Just curious, or maybe nosy would be the real...

    Sharon Twombly's new Step DVD

    Has anyone received this? What do you think about it? I have her All Body Attack and I like the workout, but I do NOT like the music. I looked at the clip on the Collage Video website and it looks very tempting....

    Question about Disney World--Meal--Dining Plan

    We will be going in the fall and we are going to rent a house or condo that way we have a kithchen. You can eat breakfast before you leave, pack a lunch / snacks and through dinner in a crock pot before you leave for the park. This will save a lot of money and calories.

    Fage ideas?

    I cant find this anywhere. I live in a small town in AL - we have Wal-Mart, Winn Dixie and Piggly Wiggly. There are two small health food stores, but they dont carry a lot and what they do carry is expensive. Oh to have Trader Joes nearby again.....You never know what you have until it's gone....:-(

    Is anyone ordering Tracy S. new workouts?

    I like the first one better than the second one. It seems to have a better flow and the production is much better.

    Amy Bento All Pump Extreme

    I LOVE Amy's slo-mo - it is different from Cathe's, but I just finished a rotation using them both. I think Cathe's is more traditional moves, while Amy's is geared to more non-tradional moves. It is a great workout and well worth the investment. IMO Amy just keeps getting better with every workout.

    Ok...I am addicted to sugar

    I just need something sweet after lunch and dinner, sometimes in the afternoon. I dont sit down with a whole bag of cookies, I just have a cookie or two, or marshmellows, or a peice of chocolate. Something small, but it is just the need to have something. I dont feel like I need to loose...

    Is anyone ordering Tracy S. new workouts?

    I have a few of her workouts most of which I dont do. I have to say I was disapointed in the "Parts Series" and the step workout was OK ( not as good as the first one ). But the new series does look tempting, it would be hard to justify the expense though considering I ordered STS.
