    Kashi Products

    I like the Go Lean Crunch Bars, the chewy granola bars, the blueberry waffles and some of their frozen entrees (mostly Pasta Pomodoro because it has one of the lowest sodium levels). I only eat these products on occasion, but when I need a quick fix meal, these seem more healthy to me than many...

    Red face after cardio - anybody?

    My face turning red has kept me away from group cardio activities as well. My face also gets very red when I run. I sometimes go out of my way to avoid people after I have been running for a while and I know my face is bright red. I FEEL fine, I just look awful.

    Foods you wish you'd never tried

    Frosted Mini-Wheats Little Bites Chocolate Cereal - I can devour a box of these in three days when I am PMS'ing. I must leave them in the store......

    Cathe Weighted Gloves Tip

    LOL! I am the only woman in an office of 7 men. I hear fishing, hunting, and sports stories galore. Eyes-glazing over is the perfect description. Glad you came away with something you could use out of this story! I think sinkers are a great idea. I am going to check out the fishing dept...

    STS CHECK IN DISC 21

    Oh my - the barbell curls. I was okay for the first set adding my extra 5% each time, but I barely made all 12 reps the second time through and just stayed at the same weight for all 3 sets. My forearms were killing me! I also had to reduce my suggested weight for reverse curls. What is a...

    Have you ever tried to stop yourself from correcting someone's form?

    Oh just tonight, I went to a core class at the Y and the instructor had us doing deadlifts. The guy across from me had his knees locked, was bending from the waist and his shoulders were so rounded that I wanted to scream. Luckily, he was only using 3 lb weights, so I figured he couldn't hurt...

    Office Breakfast ideas

    We don't get breaks - we have to eat at our desks so choices are more limited for me. I also go to work at 7 so I don't want to get up one minute earlier than I have to for breakfast. Every morning I eat 2 sticks of Sargento Light String cheese, 2 pieces of Ezekiel Cinnamon Raisin bread (the...

    Tonight I'm obsessed with singer Michael W. Smith

    Bam, Thank you for mentioning Michael W. Smith. He is a great singer with a terrific message. If you listen to his Christmas CD's, I hope you get one that has "Gloria" on it. That one gives me goose bumps every time. Also as Kristi and Jillybean mentioned, Rich Mullins is terrific as...

    Help me decide.....

    If you are looking for something more along the lines of ME, then I would definitely go with PH/MIS/BM. PH is a total body workout that definitely leaves me feeling worked out. I also like MIS/BM although they do have a more dated look to them than PH does. SS is a circuit done using a...

    How much Sodium??

    Thanks for the recipe Beavs. I'll have to try it next week. One thing that I have discovered is that potassium is not required to be on nutrition labels - it is optional so sometimes it is hard to compare food label to label as one product (Yoplait) might list the potassium and the next...

    How much Sodium??

    I have been using Cathe's nutrition software for the last six weeks and found that not only was I eating way too much sodium, I have not been getting nearly enough potassium. I have been trying to improve that. My biggest shock was the sodium levels in bread. Happy to say Ezekiel bread has...

    Sell me on STS!

    I agree that if money is not a problem, I would buy the whole package. I have P90x but couldn't get through a whole 30 days of it before I was subbing in other workouts or just skipping them. I have seldom followed any rotation for more than 3 weeks at a time because they just seem so...

    Library Girl, I sent you a PM

    Oh I just saw this now after I had read your PM. It made me giggle. Yes, I am blessed. Thank you Aquajock!

    Announcing My Next DVD series

    I'm just like you. I pre-ordered first, then read! Just got our taxes done on Friday and said that we each get $100 for fun with the rebate money and then save the rest. What great timing (and excellent pricing). Thanks Cathe!

    STS CHECK IN....Disc 11

    I have been a lurker on these threads so far, but I have been following along with you. I just wanted to tell you thank you!! I had one of those horrible, terrible, no good, very bad days today and just wanted to sit in the chair and eat cereal when I got home from work. But, I told myself I...

    Probiotic supplements

    DD takes Culturelle - I had seen it recommended in Prevention magazine. Stress really does a number on her and these do seem to help calm her intestinal distress. She also adds Lifeway Kefir (kind of a yogurt smoothie type drink) to her regimen during really stressful times like finals week...

    Any Low/No Weight Circuit W/Os and Non-Step HIIT?

    Have you tried the hi/lo portion of MIC? I like that one a lot. I also like the hi/lo portion of step, jump and pump - sometimes I do them back to back. I wish I could find more hi/lo like this. A lot of it that I have found is too dancey for me. I also like Plyo legs from P90x and...

    Steam mops

    I have the same one that Kathryn has. I love it as well. The first time I used it, the floor looked a little streaked and then I just realized that it was the residual chemicals from my previous cleaners that made it look that way. So I got a clean pad and did it again, and it looked...

    I miss John Denver!

    Huge fan as well. We had the song "Follow Me" at our wedding. I still have at least nine of his albums (no turntable anymore) and a couple of tapes. When I was twelve I would lay on my bed and listen to his albums and dream of living in the mountains or traveling with Jaques Cousteau on...

    What's your favorite running shoe?

    I am going to third the nomination for Mizunos. I am on my 6th pair now and I will never go back. I have tried Asics and Nikes from Zappos and ended up sending them back. The thing for me is that they felt perfect when I put them on. No matter what type of shoe you get - make sure it...
