    Is Special K a 'clean' food?

    I second the Kashi Autumn Shredded wheat or any Kashi cereal for that matter. Special K is a refined food and can spike you sugar levels too quickly making you, as the above poster stated, starving. Cheryl

    Pantene

    Aveda also makes a wonderful clarifying shampoo. You use it for about a week and it should do the job. Cheryl

    I ran - and I think I hurt something...

    Yes, that is the right DVD. It has a Magically hips section that is 55 minutes. The section starts with a lot of sunsalutations, so if I am strapped for time I go to the chapters section and click on the specific hip stretches. This workout has 2 DVD's and has some nice options to choose...

    Anti-Anxiety Meds that aren't sedating? Insomnia?

    You may want to check out the book, "Change your Brain, Change your Life" by Dr. Amen. It is a really a thorough book and he discusses persription meds and natural remedies. He covers the gamet and it is as interesting as it is informative. Cheryl

    I ran - and I think I hurt something...

    Running can be so stressful on your hips. Eoinn Finn has a great hip opening chapter on his Power Yoga for Happiness DVD. If you run, it might be good to devote 15 minutes or more to your hips. You can even memorize the stretches and do them while watching TV. My daughter works at a nursing...

    Yoga video?

    Yoga Shakti also has 3 DVD's taken from the original. Sun Salutations, Lunar Flow and Solar Flow. I like these particular DVD's because you get a larger varitety of yoga practices and the workouts are anywhere from 20-40 minutes. You can buy them used from Amazon.com. Cheryl

    how long do you stretch?

    I devote most of my stretching time to a specific workout; pilates or yoga. I must say the older I get the more I need to stretch. My pilates instructor summed it up nicely; pilates is stretching with movement and yoga is stretching static. They complement each other so well. Cheryl

    Don't Forget

    And while you are turning your clock AHEAD, remember to change the batteries in your smoke/fire alarm. Too many sad fire stories. Cheryl

    Anti-Anxiety Meds that aren't sedating? Insomnia?

    You may want to invest (because it is not cheap) in seeing an certified naturapath. Check out the amino acid Taurine. It is specific for anxiety and may help. Tyrosine works well for hypo-thyroid and depression, which often go hand in hand. You need to take B6 with some fruit juice with...

    way off topic: cell phone towers on private land

    I saw this topic on a 20/20 like show and it seem churches are renting out their church towers to help them financially. Intersting concept. Cheryl

    No workouts this week or last, and I am bummed out.

    I hurt my foot last Saturday and can't do much, so I am using this week as a rest week. I haven't dared get on the scale but I am very interested to see how training goes next week with all the talk of how your body needs a week off every 4 months or so. It has been hard not working out...

    I am really spoiled

    A gym is most certainly a public place!! I am not one to judge one with a roll (I have a lovely one myself) but do not appreciate seeing half clothed people no matter what their size is. It's not the size of the person that is the issuse, but the lack of attire. Dark pants and shirts that cover...

    I don't want to be 43!!!

    I'll be 49 this year. Oh, I remember the good days at 43!! Cheryl p.s. I was doing a pilates class yesterday and the almost perfectly formed young thing next to me could barely keep up. I thought, I may be old but I can still move what I need to move and in a very good way. I'll wager...
