Jack Handy is my hero Anytime I see something screech across a room and latch onto someone's neck, and the guy screams and tries to get it off, I have to laugh, because what is that thing? Sorry, just had to respond to this. You knew I would, right Amy? :)

Hey Belinda! Do you know what your sports store will be like? I know they have a sports section in the Power Zone at Ramstein so I'm wondering if it will be like that. I may have to make a trip and check yours out! :) Carolyn

Yes, I am indeed a maniac. Got a problem with that? So uh, Slumdog anyone? Anyone? :)

10 minutes?? I could watch that 24/7. Seriously! HITW is pure brilliance. BRILLIANCE!

Whateves. You totally judge people. All the time. Remember how you judged me for liking Saved By The Bell? And Hole in the Wall? What's wrong with Hole in the Wall? :)

Amy and I are in too (#89, 92)!!! Can't wait to meet everyone!!! :) :) C

YAY! My sister (pixiesis) and I are both in (#89, 92)!!! :) :) CAN'T WAIT! Carolyn

Hello! Hello ladies! I'm still here!! :) I've PMed all y'all (as my grandma would say)! C

Hey Beavs! Sometimes I'll cut up an onion and a jalapeño and throw them in a pot with mixed beans (usually canned) for about 5 minutes. When it's done I'll top it off with fresh tomato or salsa. If I have access to an avocado, I'll mix that in as well. The whole thing usually takes less than...

RE: how much cardio do you do compared to strength trai... Strength train - 2 days a week (splits) Cardio - 3 days a week plus 3-4 brisk 40-50 minute walks a week. It's been almost a year since I've done a cardio circuit workout (probably because I haven't worked out with videos in almost a...

Kariev and Melissa, so there's NO scent?? If so, I may have to try this one out too! I've tried Famous Daves and although it looked nice, there was that smell (DH HATES it). I've since given up on sunless lotions but I'll give this one a try. I'm such a sucker for this stuff!:P Carolyn

From my experience in Europe, I think having issues with being naked is also an American issue. Europeans seem to think nothing of being nude in public. Last year my parents, DH and I went to a small lake in Germany. It was summer and a little hot and most people were clothed but there were some...

It is hard core. Too bad their form is terrible on the hang cleans. WAY too much knee with no hip movement. Terrible. They should be landing in a slight squat position (with hips back). And while I love the idea of circuits, doing explosive movements with heavy weights while tired (and IN FRONT...

Hi Shayne- I'm so glad to hear you're eating again (I remember you being on a feeding tube, right?). It sounds like you're recovering from your surgeries too. How wonderful! :) As far as eating goes, I think there is no set rule when it's best to workout after eating. Some people can eat and...
