    Severe Chronic Constipation-Cant Go!

    Well, if someone is constipated and eating healthy all of the time, have you tried a day or two of junk food? I'd bet a couple of White Castle sliders would help move things along....;) Try a nice unfiltered Belgian ale. Frat guys who drink lots of Busch Lite seem to have lots of diarrhea...

    Do you sneak in movie snacks?

    Sometimes I sneak, sometimes I don't. Today we went to see The Hangover, which we loved, but DH and I can be rather sophomoric about our humor, and I got buttered popcorn and Diet Coke. Sometimes I just love it even though I know that it's so awful. I've heard that technically bringing in...

    Are you annoying?

    Well, nothing on that particular list, but I have a very low tolerance for incompetence. I try really hard to conceal my impatience, but I tend to get snarky when my coworkers and fellow students make the same mistakes over and over. My affliction is probably worse than being annoying, because...

    Are you a friendly runner/walker?

    In my neighborhood (suburban Philly) I always smile and say a quick "hi" with a wave. People seem surprised, but then usually say hello back, like, "oh, yeah, I guess it is nice to be friendly". When I'm walking around the area near work (South Philly) I'm pleasant, but people will stop me...

    Birth Control....

    I felt psychotic while on Yaz. I've got the Mirena IUD and I absolutely love it! I really don't even get a period, and it lasts for 5 years.

    What is...

    One time, when my daughter was about 6, she was goofing off and telling me a bunch of funny jokes and cracking me up. I overheard her asking my mom, "Grandma, did you hear my mom laughing at my jokes?" my mom replied that she had and my daughter then said, "Good, because making my mom laugh is...

    Is it normal to never have DOMS in your core

    I think that she says something about how the abs recover very quickly in one of her dvds.

    So, what was the LAST concert you saw?

    The last concert I went to was sooooo long ago, but it was Ben Harper in Ann Arbor. Fabulous venue and I dearly love BH!

    Penguins Win Stanley Cup

    I'm a former Detroiter and I was devastated by the loss!:( Oh, well. Wings win the Stanley Cup so often, I suppose that it's only fair that another team gets a chance every so often.;)

    What's your fashion weakness?

    I love knee-length leggings with little knit summer dresses. Shoes by Converse, Born, Dansko. Flat, cross-body bags by Fossil. I'm into comfort.

    Remedies/products for super dry hair?

    The biggest culprit is over-washing. One option is to wet hair, work in conditioner, don't rinse, then use a sulfate-free shampoo, rinse, and condition again. Also, using medium heat on your blowdryer may be making things worse because then you are drying your hair longer than if you just...

    What's your fashion strength?

    I concur on everything but the shorts and the skort. Well, I must clarify that I only like skorts that don't look like skorts, like the nike golf skirts. I also think that the right slim-cut, correct length bermuda short can look great with the right shoe, but like capris, they can be...

    Freezable dinner recipes?

    Much of what to freeze also depends on how you plan to reheat them. If you are reheating in the oven, most dishes will work fine, but take longer to reheat. If you reheat in the microwave, then you need to stick with foods which traditionally are microwave friendly, like Calvillo mentioned...

    weight loss and breast sagging

    I'm certainly not Cathe, but I know that many women benefit from getting a breast lift which does not involve implants. I've also heard that working your pectoral muscles can help a smidgen, but not significantly. Non-surgically your best bet is a fabulous bra. I'm curious as to what Cathe...

    does Cathe have her own gym?

    Wow, I didn't realize that the gym was so close to me. Not close enough to work out there on a regular basis, mind you, but still relatively close (30 minutes w/no traffic, up to 60 during rush hour).

    What to Do...What to Do?!?!

    I think that PTs are great for teaching form, motivation, and also helping clients change up routines so that they continue to get challenged. It sounds like you don't have any exercise challenges, so maybe your money would be better spent on the advice of a dietitian? I love working...

    Short hair advice

    I think that you are the perfect candidate for a pixie. You have delicate features and a petite frame. Is your natural hair texture straight? Pixies are good for most hair textures except for super curly or extremely thick and pin-straight. I agree with the other suggestions to leave the...

    Ling & Lee--what do you think?

    Well, Kim Jong Il has chosen his youngest son to succeed him, which I imagine will piss off the older brothers enough to stage a coup, which will let S. Korea and the US swoop in to liberate the starving masses of N. Korea. I think that Team America World Police depicted what a crazy toddler...

    Doing STS as FB workout

    This makes sense, my Anatomy & Physiology prof (bio phd + exercise physiologist) suggested 3 FB circuit w/o per week w/moderate weights and cardio along with 1 day of HIIT, 1 day of heavy weights, 1 day of yoga/pilates, 1 day of rest and walking every day for 30 minutes for optimum fat loss.
