    10 Weird Organic Food Facts

    Not all of their "facts" are true. Living in a HUGE ranching/farming state, I've learned a lot from the farmers at our local farmer's market. Organic Eggs indeed might be caged. Big Ag companies, even the name brands that offer organic varieties, will keep them confined feeding them organic...

    Pots and pans

    Thanks! I am hoping to make it another month in my jeans before having to make the switch to maternity. I have a boat load of maternity summer clothes to use. But considering it's 26 degrees today... I might have to bite the bullet and buy some pants.

    Pots and pans

    If you decide to go the Cast Iron route, these are the pans I use most often: * Lodge L9OG3 Pre-Seasoned Round Griddle, 10.5-inch: This is my work horse! I make eggs of all varieties, cook potatoes, onions, pancakes, sandwiches, sear meats, etc! It's a spiffy pan! * Lodge LCC3 Logic...

    Pots and pans

    If you season them well in the beginning and are patient (usually within 5-8 uses), cast iron is amazing! I switched to mostly cast iron (Lodge) over the last year with the exception of a few pieces from All Clad (Stainless). Both brands are made in the USA which is a big deal from a quality and...

    The Simple Diet by Dr. Anderson, letting go of food purism, and decision paralysis

    Candice, Please don't feel like you have to justify what your choices are and why. If it's best for you, whatever choice that might be, then that's all that matters. What you consume and the workouts you choose to do, if any, are no one's concern but your's. If you feel that by eating a...

    The Simple Diet by Dr. Anderson, letting go of food purism, and decision paralysis

    To the OP, I say if it works for you, go for it! It doesn't matter what I or anyone else here thinks. Personally, you're going to find food purists and those that judge you and/or what you eat everywhere, especially on fitness forums. I say try it. If it doesn't work, it doesn't. But you...

    Collage Video Going Out of Biz Sale

    Mary at TotalFitnessDVDs.com allows you to return things, opened, as well. She also has a better return policy- 90 days vs Collage's 30 days. It's a big difference. I'm telling you, Mary beats collage at every turn and obviously it shows.

    Collage Video Going Out of Biz Sale

    I bought some of the DVDs that were $2.99-5.99. These were ones that I was interested in but not enough to pay full price. I haven't been interested in DVDs lately much anyhow so $35 isn't a big deal if they collect dust like everything else I have. While I will miss there review section and...

    Shoulder Weightlifting Substitutions

    I second band work! I've been in in PT for shoulders, 1 wrist, both knees, right hip, and back. Each time I go in, they always recommend band work not just for rehabbing but also for long term usage. (Some are from accidents, others are from heavy lifting. It eventually takes it toll.) You can...

    Any suggestions on puzzle mats?

    Sam's Club My local has both types, the colorful puzzle mats with black backs and the thick rubber ones you would use for under heavier equipment to protect flooring. I bought the colorful ones several yrs ago for about $20 and they've even held up against a few pesky cats here and there and...

    Lifting gloves?

    I honestly have several pairs as it depended on the type of workout I was doing. I would say that if you are going to lift heavier weights, leather is the best option. It offers great padding and protection for your hands and are well worth the money. I don't remember the brand I purchased, they...

    4-Day Split

    That is very exciting!!!!!!! :D 4DS also has good music. The only other workout that I enjoy the music more on is Low Impact Circuit. Rockwell's Somebody's watching me is a favorite of mine and I would repeat that step chapter 2-4 times just because it makes the step routine that much more...

    Great Glutes question(s)

    Thanks again! I will respectfully disagree with you! If what I said wasn't true, thousands of people would never benefit from physical therapy, let alone band and body weight work. I'll stick to guidance from medical professionals. No offense, really! :D But I've taken anatomy too, even...

    Great Glutes/Lean Legs Questions

    Dear Cathe or anyone that would know- I have some questions about Great Glutes in particular and perhaps Lean Legs for the outer thigh regions. With regards to all three heads of the Glutes, Maximus, Medius, and Minimus: 1. Does Great Glutes (maybe even Lean Legs) train all 3? 2. If...

    Great Glutes question(s)

    Thank you for the reply and taking the time! I do though, think you misunderstood. I am not looking for workout advice- I've been in PT for YEARS, sadly. Btw, you can strengthen bones and ligaments with light to no weights. You strengthen your "endurance muscles", the slow twitch fibers...

    Great Glutes question(s)

    I am waiting for my Great Glutes and Lean Legs DVDs to arrive. In the mean time I am having to meet with my Orthopedist about reoccurring hip issues from many moons ago. I am leaning towards soft tissue issues bc I haven't (a) kept up on my PT exercises from several yrs ago, (b) have a toddler...

    Warning for Shakeology Users

    I saw this blurb on Dr Oz. I am not sure how credible it is, I'm not a fan of his show and I don't know if he has a reputation that can be trusted. However for Shakeology users, this might be worth looking into. He had an expert of some sort on his show that tested various protein powders...
