    Do you know anything about Kangen Water?

    Ooopsy,,,, I slipped. Now what ?

    Maybe you should have cheeseburgers more often so that you can realize that it's honestly not the end of the world? Everything in moderation.

    What is walking?

    Walking is cardio. Not intensive cardio. It is great for fat-burning. When my knee is up to snuff, I walk 40 minutes/day, 5 days/week in addition to whatever rotation I'm doing. It's really good for your heart, tones the legs without giving giganto calves, clears the mind, etc. It also...

    Do you know anything about Kangen Water?

    Well, Kangen is a MLM, which always creeps me out. I think that it's important to drink regular water, which has a relatively neutral pH. Kangen, or other ionized water has you drinking alkaline water. Well, when we drink things, they go into our stomachs, which is extraordinarily acidic...

    Drinks or supplements

    I like the Slim Fast extra protein. While I believe that real food is the best and most satisfying way to get nutrition, sometimes I just need a little something and don't have the time or desire to eat, and it can prevent me from snacking on something even worse for myself.

    Gone too far!

    I think that this is when she looked her best: Her face looks nice and full now, especially compared to her arms because she gets injections and uses lots of facial products with hyaluronic acid.

    pooch

    With that many kids, your lower tummy is always going to be a little distended, even if the skin isn't quite "loose"--unless you have surgery. If it seems like it's gotten worse, and your weight is low, you might want to get checked by your obgyn just to be sure you don't have any fibroids, or...

    More Cardio = Gained Weight - so frustrating!!

    Makes sense to me. Maybe doing just one week of cardio-only every now and then would be good to shock the system, and then go back to what usually works for you.

    I have a slim fast high protein before my workout, and a whole grain fig newton and Danactive right after working out. Works for me.

    Sleeping Pills

    I used to have insomnia. I took benadryl for a while, and it works, but gives me horrible acne. I take melatonin now, and it really helps. Here are some other tricks: Don't do anything in your bed besides sleep/read at low light/have sex. No work, arguments, studying, working on the...

    Quit Smoking - would like some encouragement

    Good job! To help, try needlepoint, knitting, sewing, etc. Eat pistachios. Don't hang out with people who smoke--unless they are very ugly. Look at photos of and hang out with beautiful people who don't smoke. Any time you feel the urge for a cigarette, do something painful to yourself...

    blackened fish

    I usually use peanut oil or olive oil. I think the trick is to use a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet.

    Ways to enjoy summer fruit?

    I looooove grilled peaches. Usually we make a pork tenderloin with lots of Chinese 5 spice, grill it, grill the peaches, and eat together. I'll also cut up peaches and put in a spinach salad with a dressing of white pear balsamic vinegar, EVOO, salt and pepper and some crumbled stilton. I...

    Anyone heard of KAREN VOIGHT?

    I have the Sleek essentials series, or something like that. I think that the cardio is surprisingly energetic for being rather low impact. The toning series is pretty easy, but you can always heavy up. I despise the music--it sounds like slim in 6. Re boobs: her boob job seems a little...

    Need help with steak

    Yes, I think that ribeye is the best cut. I agree with what Winter wrote, but since I like my steaks charred on the outside and rare in the middle, I put my gas grill on high and let it heat up a while before I put the steaks on. I also season the meat before it comes up to temp and put it on...
