    Who on these forums sees a chiropractor? WARNING - LONG POST

    Reading threads like this one reminds me that I have so much to be grateful for. I have a mobile body, it works well and I don't have a lot of pain (unless it's DOMS from doing an STS workout! LOL!). I even have a high, right hip. Yup, it's about a half inch higher than the left. My right...

    WOMEN WHO INSPIRE YOU

    Madonna is my HEROINE! Madonna is one of the biggest inspirations for me. I've been listening, watching, dancing with her since I was 5 years old. She won't EVER STOP! I love it!

    pliee jacks

    Plie jacks are not my favorite either. I actually modify them by just jumping up from a plie squat and I don't bring my heels together. I just really squeeze my inner thighs and glutes so that when I'm in the jump, my legs are straight but still out to the sides (not underneath me like they...

    need advice

    I hate mornings. I have crabby, snappy, get-out-my-way attitude until I get to work. If I workout in the morning, it is yoga or a quick walk, and that is seldom. I'm a night owl. My peak of energy is around 4-5 pm. After 10 years of working out, I've figured out what works best for me...

    I can't wait until it gets here! I've just finished Meso 1 and have this week off...hoping it will be shipped before Meso 3. There's no hurt in hoping! Brandie

    What do you love about your body?

    We are the hardest critics on ourselves! So refreshing that we can remember the positives. Good thread idea Sandra! HAIR: Though it is a lot of work to clean and dry and I don't have a lot of time to style it, I love my thick, brown hair. I only have a few grays that can barely be seen, so...

    Hey Jodelle! Q about Stevia

    I'm bumping this because I'd like to know the ratio too. I also wonder to myself if this is just another marketing gimmic for artificial sweetener, much like the hype about Splenda when it came out. Is Stevia COMPLETELY natural?

    The cream in my coffee conundrum.....

    So Many Good Suggestions I've read so many good suggestions on this forum. Cinnamon, Mimicream, Honey, Cocoa, Almond Milk, etc. etc. I recently gave up my coffee cream too. Here's how I did it: I bought better tasting coffee. No more Foldgers or Maxwell House. I buy the flavored coffee...

    Need to increase my potassium

    Coconut Water has loads of potassium. I use it instead of water in my protein shakes. Whole Foods has it in their produce section. Some refer to it as the "natural Gatorade" because it is so hydrating.

    Your Favorite Nutrition Program?

    I actually just got done reading that book! Hence, why I'm on this new mission to better plan my meals. If I eat what I plan, much easier to log what I eat. I also am on the list at the library for the Eat Clean cookbook. Yeah, there's a line. I'm in sixth place! Thanks!

    Your Favorite Nutrition Program?

    What is your favorite Nutrition Program and why? I've done the Daily Plate and didn't keep up with it. I hated going in everyday to track what I ate and it didn't seem like it was worth my time. I still eat very well when not tracking calories. I've looked into Cathe's Nutrition...

    Whole Foods

    I shop at Whole Foods Although I don't get EVERYTHING at Whole Foods because they are somewhat expensive, I find that some of their produce and bulk bin products are good quality for a good price. The bulk section is AWESOME. Things I normally get at Whole Foods: Muesli (bulk) Raw...

    The Ultimate Contraversy! Are you...

    I'm a Cat Person I had several dogs as a kid. I loved them. I also remember having guinea pigs: Liann, how awesome! And of course fish, cats and my little bros always had reptiles and insects...eek! Now that I'm on my own and with my husband, we feel that the responsibility of owning a...

    Cathe's X-Vest at Walmart.com!!!???

    That's the truth, they are a super-giant corporation. You have your reasons why you don't shop there. My aunt is the same way and hasn't stepped foot in a Walmart in over 10 years, and that kind of commitment adds up! She thinks I'm crazy for going there at all.
