So last weekend DH and I went to see the new Indiana Jones movie. I have to admit I was kinda disappointed. I feel like they should have named it "Indiana Jones and the never ending chase scenes". :) I liked Cate Blanchett in it and I thought she did a pretty good job (considering she had kind...

Actually, Dorothy the study showed that those who exercise intensely were more likely to do little else (activity-wise) the rest of the day. They literally sat throughout the day a LOT more than those who exercised at a more moderate intensity. Like I said there are exceptions to this of course...

Amy, Didn't I tell you about that study that showed that people who exercised most intensely tended to laze around the rest of the day? I think this is why many exercise professionals recommend working out at a more moderate intensity. Of course there are exceptions to the rule but I found...

What a GREAT story! :) I'm so happy for you and your new-found sense of independence!! :) Carolyn

I wouldn't say that I'm like any of these women (although like Carrie, I do love myself some puns!:P ) Count me in as another one who is DYING to see the movie. As I mentioned in another thread, I'm currently running through all of the episodes before the movie hits here. I just finished the...

I've had LOTS of jobs I hated. Luckily I ended up quitting all of them. The last job I had I actually really liked (personal trainer/fitness instructor). I liked it enough to go back to school and get a Master's in Exercise Science. Unfortunately I don't have the opportunity to work very much...

As much as I liked The X files, I'm SO excited about the SATC movie. I'm currently running through all of the episodes. I'm just finishing up season 4 and ready for season 5. Watching them again makes me realize how much I miss that show. Can't wait for the movie!!! Carolyn PS: I suppose...

Amy, Yea, I think what she's done with the puppy mills and the cattle industry were/are great. I just hope she's not promoting veganism as a 'detox' diet - or a short term diet ya know? Carolyn

I heard about it on some internet news site. As a vegan, I think it's kinda silly. Giving up tons of things your body is used to (and probably likes) all at once is a recipe for disaster. I am also not one to believe in the need for 'detox' diets as I believe the body takes care of this itself...

Amy, I guess you came to the right place for advice. Catheites are very knowledgeable aren't they? I just wanted to write and ask that you keep us updated. I think we all want to know how this drama ends. I'm thinking you'll get the agreed price and people will start backing down on upping the...

It sounds to me like you're not getting enough. I would add at least 100 extra calories for a few days and then add another 100. This is like adding a good sized apple (or 2 plums) for a few days and then adding like a cup of blueberries on your morning cereal or yogurt in addition to your...

So my sister told me that this stuff tastes incredible. It has lots of fiber but is a little high in calories (I think 190 per cup - which isn't bad if you mix with something lower in calories). I know it has more sugar than the regular stuff but I'm thinking I can add it to my lower calorie...

Or, you could possibly be over training and not getting enough calories. This can lead to a complete stop in weight loss. I would (as the above poster suggested) start keeping track of your calories to first make sure you are actually getting enough. Carolyn

Amy, It sounds like you've gotten some good advice here. Jason's aunt runs her own real estate business and was president of the Michigan State Realtors Association. She knows other agents who can help you if you want. It sounds like you should have taken Jason up on his offer earlier huh? :)...

On our older car I have a Pixies bumper sticker that's been on there for years and years. On our newer car, we have a little robot clock that hangs from the rear view mirror. C

What a JERK! Was he really young? Young people can be insensitive and not very good at age guessing. :) Think of all the amazing looking women who are well into their 40s (Demi Moore, Madonna, Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista, CATHE - for goodness sakes!). 40 is nothing but a number let me...

What about some mary janes (flat or with a small heel)? I saw some cute ones in Target. Here's the link...

Oh Kathryn, I feel for you!! It has gained a little ground in the last month (went from .61 Euro cents to .62) but that's about it. Everyone I talk to thinks it will dip to .50 Euro cents sometime this year. Look at it this way, at least you don't live here!!! :) Carolyn

I've gotten them before and they lasted about a year or so before I got so sick of fiddling with them. You do have to adjust them quite a bit so if that sort of thing bothers you, I would think twice. Also I thought they only looked nice right after I had to tuck them in, otherwise they tended...

Another thing you could do is just design your own workouts and watch a movie or listen to music while you do it. For the past 6 months or so I've been doing splits. I'll choose, say legs/chest/biceps for one day. I'll come up with 3 sets of 3 exercises (or 2 sets or 3 if I'm tired) and...
