    Estimating food portions

    A goody from Men's Health: How Much Are You Eating? Easy ways to estimate serving sizes Doling out food portions for a recipe or a diet plan is always a crapshoot; we can barely tell 3 ounces from 10. Worse, we simply shovel down restaurant chow until we're asked to leave. Nutritionists...

    No running

    I don't run and don't ever intend to, but I DO walk - power walk, I guess you would call it - and I certainly am able to keep up a high fitness level when I combine it with stepping and circuit workouts. I walk about 2-3 days a week, do step one day a week, and circuits 2 times a week...

    Do you take a shower and shampoo your hair after every workouts?

    Anne - What's a good shampoo to use to control color fading? This is a huge promblem for me since I use a red/blonde mix which fades horribly. SORRY! I did not realize this was an "Ask Cathe" thread, but I see lots of other people responed to it. "You can't win them all - but you...

    anyone try 2 day fast from BB?

    IMO, a fast is NOT the way to go if you want to get your eating under control! You need a good eating plan that will allow you to eat every 3 hours or so, and not let you starve like a fast would do! It's all about eating smart, not eating less. There have plenty of threads on here about...

    One Body Part vs. Total Body?

    I'm very much in the minority here (which does not bother me a bit!) 'cause I vote for total body workouts doing compound exercises. It's more effective and SAVES TIME!!

    I cannot believe I did this

    I'm sure you'll do fine! I would not trade places with you on this one for all the $$ in the world, but I'm glad you stepped up! My grand daughter, 10 yrs. old, takes baton and marches in parades, too. "You can't win them all - but you can try." - Babe Zaharias...

    Recovery Week Blues

    RE: Protein and Fiber Now I got what you meant - my animal protein consists of 16 oz of yogurt, 8 oz of skim milk, 6 oz. of turkey in the salad and sometimes jello sugar-free fat-free pudding (counting the milk in the pudding). Compared to others, that may not be a lot of protein. Years and...

    Chinsters...where are you? 10/06

    My chinning day is tomorrow - I'm back on track after being depressed and tired for several weeks during which I functioned & don't know how. Did lots of push-ups this week, and have a more-like-normal energy level.

    PLEASE TAKE THESE OREO"S OUT OF MY HAND!!!!!!

    RE: PLEASE TAKE THESE OREO I'm VERY lucky because sugar makes me sleepy and disoriented, so I can't eat it during the day when I have to function. That's one good reason I have to pass up on the work goodies. "You can't win them all - but you can try." - Babe Zaharias...

    PLEASE TAKE THESE OREO"S OUT OF MY HAND!!!!!!

    RE: PLEASE TAKE THESE OREO Dear Miz Nancy - What I meant was, if you can't control your munchies no matter what, and you tend to devour the entire package of Oreos, then it's better not to buy them. I'm very good at keeping the goodies in the freezer until my pig out day, but have NO...

    Recovery Week Blues

    RE: Fiber A lot, but then I'm used to it. Bran ceral twice a day, oatmeal, a big salad, and La Tortilla whole wheat tortillas make up my fiber intake. I'm not a fruit eater, and I eat all my veggies at once in my big salad which contains broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, grape tomatoes, red...

    Recovery Week Blues

    RE: Thank You!!! I don't keep track of protein grams, but do know that I don't overload on protein. My complex carb intake is much higher than my protein intake. My circuit training classes are a lot like Circuit Max, except we use med balls instead of dumbbells. I really don't do any...

    Recovery Week Blues

    RE: Recovery Week Ideas Back to this finally - it's 2:15AM and I have some time: I don't actually plan recovery weeks - I don't even do rotations, I just mix it up all the time, or did when I was doing taped weight workouts. What I do now that seems to prevent the need for "recovery" is to...

    PLEASE TAKE THESE OREO"S OUT OF MY HAND!!!!!!

    RE: PLEASE TAKE THESE OREO Would I be really dumb if I suggested that you don't buy them? "You can't win them all - but you can try." - Babe Zaharias http://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/musik/music-smiley-004.gif[/img]

    circuit or just straight cardio?

    Go with the circuit workout. For a REAL stress reliever, do this exercise: Ball Slams Hold a 10-lb nonbouncing medicine ball overhead, back arched. In one motion, slam the ball to the ground between your knees as you drop into a squat, grab the ball, explode up to the start, and repeat...

    The Biggest Looser

    It's only a matter of time until Ms. Utah is shown the door. Again, this year I like the crop of guys they have - they don't play those silly games the women do. They ganged up on poor Wiley so their little group wouldn't be broken up, and look what happened. I was disappointed that they...

    Drug and Alcohol addicted family members (long)

    I was married to 2 alcoholics, and I found it very easy to detach - that being said, it's a very different situation than the one you're in. You can't enable him - he just comes back for more. I know it's easy to say that you should refuse to help him or even see him because it hurts you to...
