And I can vouch for you, Liann! :D

Better political controversy than more personal controversy! :rolleyes:

Ooh, I love the smell of fresh paint, too, though that's partly because it reminds me of a certain trip to Mexico. The room I stayed in had just been painting so now the smell of paint recalls that time to mind. Also, the smell of spring rain, fresh mown grass, roses (those are all back to...

Now THAT is funny. :D

I have to admit that I have to take breaks between every couple of step segments because my cardio power is not up to scratch yet, but I don't have a problem with the footwork, at least. Funny thing, I am a clumsy person but not at everything. Yeah, I really like Chalean Extreme. Chalene is a...

But not a big smelly person. Just want to be clear on that.

Ooh, I am a big smell person. I love smells and have a strong smell memory. I love the smell of books. I love how books smell differently depending on where you got them (library, used bookstore, new bookstore, my mom's house, etc.). Good smells: my kids, all the time, especially the top of my...

I've been using dumbbells (doing ChaLEAN Extreme Burn Circuit right now). Yeah, those are good ideas, too. I have a weighted vest (only 10 lbs but I could use that and lighter dumbbells maybe). I knew y'all would have some good tips for me!

I'm reminded of some sayings of my sweet old Granny that I've learned are true: 1. Redheads are boogers in the corn patch. 2. Keep your nose clean. 3. Pretty is as pretty does. That woman was wise. She also said, "It don't pay to live long enough to get old," but I'm not old enough to know...

Simulposted with you, Stephanie! Yeah, I am good at the sticking out the booty--will keep the other tips in mind, too. I feel like I'm a beginner again with my workouts, though I can at least still do a complex step workout without a problem.

Thanks, Gayle. I will try that--I wasn't sure if that was o.k.--I know they always say not to have your knees in front of your toes. It's probably my big bootay. When they say stick your butt out they aren't picturing my luscious round muffins. :p

I have been having a really hard time with squats since having my latest baby. I just can't seem to get my form right and I don't want to do them wrong since I have wonky knees. What happens is when I squat back with the weight in my heels, my booty back, and knees over ankles, I wobble. I...

Hi Stephanie! Cormac is just wonderful--5 1/2 months now and my easiest baby by far. He's so mellow and sweet. Thanks for the compliment on my blog--my poor neglected little blog. I almost forgot I need to post on there today to pick a winner for a giveaway. I don't post so often as I used...

I think Demi Moore bathes in the blood of virgins. There is no other explanation for her youthful appearance.

W00t! I'm on the shout-out list. Loves ya, Liann. I miss a lot of these same people. I have been gone a while but I'm finally getting back over here a little more. We need more happy threads and less grumpiness, for sure.

Hee hee, as soon as Sparrow mentioned CC I knew Michele would pop in and talk about CC as well. I love you and your Coach Sean enthusiasm, Michele! :D I'm on my second week of ChaLEAN Extreme so I'll be doing Burn Circuit 1 today. Probably in a few minutes. Ouch. Wish me luck! :cool:

I am really the last person who should answer this since I have a terrible time losing weight myself--and my baby is 5 months and I have a long way to go still--7 weeks seems way too early to me to be too worried about it. I've often heard 9 months on, 9 months off, though it has been longer...

I agree with the other posters--rest and ice and see an expert. I've had some knee issues and found out from an orthopedic surgeon that my knees are just naturally a bit wonky. He even told me not to do step aerobics anymore (O.K. I mainly ignored that advice though I stick to only a wimpy 4...

They are definitely non-essential but nice to have if you have the money for them. You also need the room for them. I keep mine in the basement because I have a little house so I don't get the use out of them that I would if I had a workout room where they would be easily available.

I was one-starred recently. I have to admit it stung a bit, but not for long. I actually wouldn't have even noticed if a friend hadn't told me, "Hey Lainie someone one-starred your thread." And it was probably personal since the thread was completely relevant to the board and didn't devolve...
