Try Cabernet Franc, too. It's higher in resveratrol (the stuff that's good for your heart) and it's not as heavy as a cab. sauvignon.

RE: 7-day Today so far: B: oatmeal with strawberries, protein powder, flaxseed and wheat germ (and a little brown sugar sprinkled on top :D ) S: a piece of coffee cake :o L: PB sandwich (natural PB & low-sugar jam on ww bread) and an apple S: string cheese and a banana D...

Well, I did alright today until early evening. Lunch was leftovers: tilapia with brown rice and broccoli (I still have to force myself to eat cooked broc - I prefer it raw). I had some strawberries and lowfat,low-carb yogurt for a mid-afternoon snack - and THEN I came home and ate hot italian...

Good morning ladies! Technically this is Day #1 for me, so here goes: Breakfast: oatmeal with protein powder, wheat germ, flaxseed, and fresh strawberries; 2 cups coffee My school is on a 2-hour delay this morning b/c of a power outage, so I'm going to take advantage of it and get some...

RE: PUB I've always done PUB (and other w/os that use a bench) with a stability ball because I don't have a weight bench. At first, I just used my ball because it was right there, and now I love it because it forces me to balance and rely more on my core muscles while I'm lifting. Kathryn...

I tried the Scrambled Cardio this afternoon - and LOVED, LOVED, LOVED it!!!!!

So.....I'm assuming that we'll check in starting tomorrow on the check-in/challenge forum under "7-Day Clean Eating Challenge" or something like that?? I'll definitely need it this week, seeing as grades are due and a million other things....... If people wouldn't mind posting their meal...

Count me in, too. I recently read Tosca Reno's book and have been trying to apply it to my eating habits. I've probably been at it for about 3 weeks now and I must say that a healthy breakfast and snacks throughout the day are definitely making a difference! I used to have that mid-afternoon...

WOW - I just did this for the first time and I think it's my new favorite w/o! (Sh, don't tell my KPC!) I was a little worried about the time frame, but it flew by pretty fast. The only thing is that I'm not really into step, so I just made up my own kickbox routine during the step cardio...

For those of you who have and love KPC and KM, what other kickbox w/os do you love (other instructors, etc.)? Thanks!

After hearing this in a Pilates workout, I always think about expelling ALL of my air as I try to pull my belly button all the way back into my spine (DON'T try sucking in your stomach!). I don't know why, but telling myself to do it this way makes me concentrate more on keeping correct form...

Right now I use the other bedroom, which doubles as my office. DH has a weight bench in the basement, but I do weights upstairs and just use my stability ball as a bench. We have a treadmill in the basement and I'd love to turn the basement rec room into my workout room, but the ceilings are...

I can sympathize with your friend who quit teaching because of aggressive parents (last year I strongly questioned my career choice because of this very reason). I love teaching, I love my subject area (HS English), and I love working with my students -- but there's nothing more disheartening...

Not to but into your thread, but I wouldn't say that ALL pet shops are bad. I rescued both of my cats from the local humane society after meeting them at PetSamrt, which never sells cats and dogs but instead works with local animal shelters to find homes for strays and orphans. After talking...

My introduction to Cathe about 3 1/2 years ago was through Power Max and IMAX (the original). I used to be in pretty good shape before then, but had lapsed for a few years before starting Cathe. Before Power Max and IMAX, I had begun running again and was doing some cardio w/o's by Tamilee...

Wow, I feel out of it - I don't think I'd even recognize of lot of these shows. I don't really watch too much TV, although I am a Law & Order junkie occasionally when they have marathons. I used to watch Sex & the City regularly and was pretty bummed when it ended. I watched Big Love this...

I've heard good things about the Dyson, but isn't it a bagless vacuum? I understand the convenience of a bagless vacuum, but aren't bagged vacuums better for allergy sufferers in terms of changing bags vs. dumping the "bin"? I think my main problem is that there are just too darn many...

I can't help you in terms of how to properly cushion a cement floor, but I can tell you that I've always been happy working out on carpet. Hardwood flooring would be ideal in my w/o room (which doubles as an office/spare bedroom), but I've always had carpet there. Low-pile carpet (kinda like...

Laura: Your soup sounds yummy - would you mind posting the recipe? (I had posted an earlier thread asking about recipes for beans, so your question piqued my interest). Have you tried adding whole wheat pasta to it?

Calling all proud vacuum owners: Although I am allergic to pet dander, I love my 2 kitties too much and will happily suffer a few sniffles for them. BUT, I need to buy a vacuum cleaner that truly "sucks the life" out of my floors and gets all of that nasty dander out of them! I've been...
