    Pull-up bars

    They're most definitely NOT all the same quality-wise, but having said that, you can get a perfectly nice one for cheap. I don't think it matters WHERE you buy it, but if you go online you can read reviews of the different ones before you buy. If you have a doorway you're willing to put...

    Brooks, are you naked?

    Sarah, That's flipping hilarious! When I was a kid my mom had a really tough time getting me to keep my clothes on:7 I think, when I was very small, there might be equal numbers of pictures with me in various stages of undress as there are dressed. Oh, and I LOVE your son's name! Mattea

    Which 4-day split workout are you most excited about??

    I have to agree with Shelley on the Boot Camp vote, I'm all for whatever gets my feet up into the air ;-) And twelve drills in 30 min?! Sounds like we MIGHT have a candidate for HIIT on our hands:7 Mattea

    New ways to eat veggies and legumes...

    I really have to second the vote fore hemp protein, I LOVE it and usually put it in my oatmeal or a smoothie, but I agree with Kathryn, the shakes a very tasty. I'm a chocolate girl myself:7 As for a way to get in more veggies/legumes, have you though about making your own veggie/bean/grain...

    Pull-up bars

    Sherri Lynn, Yep, when I bought P90X I bit the bullet and went for a pull-up bar. It's the kind you intall with small circular brackets in a doorway. I think it cost about $15 on Amazon.com. It works wonderfully, but I can't really do more than one unassisted pull-up or chin-up (okay, maybe 2...

    How Often Do you Use Coremax?

    I try to use Coremax twice a week, but almost always mangage at least one. This is the one Cathe workout that DH will use consistently (he actually does 2 week, every week), but I've never been able to get him to do the premixes. I love the Tough Core premix as it's quick and dirty. }( This...

    Do you knit?

    Rhonda, OOHHHH, ME! I love to knit, but I'm not that good yet :7 Mostly I can do a straight line so far, but I have plans! How long have you been knitting? I wonder if I could knit myself some dumbbell cozies or something? ;-) Mattea

    Prank phone calls!!! Should I be worried???

    Carrie, This actually sounds pretty serious, I would follow the above advice to contact police, phone company, etc. Also, if you don't go the gun route, you may want to at least invest in some mace/pepper spray. I just wanted to add that it might not be the SAME guy your husband was...

    Trans Fats and Fertility

    Hi Calee, I know, I was shocked when I read this. Just another reason to hurry up and get this out of our foods. Who knows the poor people whose fertility is being affected by this and have no idea. Mattea

    MP3 and holder?

    Apparently Cathy and I are MP3 player twins :P That's exactly how I wear mine! Except if I'm not wearing a shirt, but only a sports bra, I will stuff the excess cord down between the two bras--I always wear two when running. I love the armband and find it very easy to use, especially now after...

    Underwear frustration

    Catherine, I know they are listed as "boyshorts", but these aren't like regular boy shorts, which also ride up on me something fierce. Or grab my thighs so tightly that we have a whole other unsightly problem on our handsx( The bottom opening hits me much higher in the leg and it makes it...

    Underwear frustration

    Nancy, The great thing about the lace is it lays FLAT so with most pants no VPL. But, with cream colored silk pants, hmmm... You know, you might try the second link to the Maidenform "Light" underwear. I have them in black, white, and "body beige" colored and the latter might work very well...

    Underwear frustration

    Nancy, I have a thong that is almost exactly like that, no idea who makes it, but I do find that with thongs I like to go even larger, no idea why except it just feels more comfortable and seems to fit the best. I strongly suggest that you try out a few of the other styles as well, b/c except...

    Underwear frustration

    Catherine--You're welcome and I hope it helps. Underwear is so difficult as it's one of those things you can't really try on! Like shopping for a bathing suit---Oh sure, this one looks GREAT with my underwear sticking out and bunching up! LOL! Mattea:)

    Underwear frustration

    Nancy, I see exactly what you mean and that's the very reason I've completely re-done my underwear drawer:7 Here are my two best suggestions: 1. You should try a kind that has flat, non-binding lace at the waist and/or leg hole. I have some by Maidenform, and some by a few random others...

    The Break Up

    Gayle, I'm was so sorry to read this post! I am, though, so amazed by your courage to do what you know to be right for you and your boys. I'm glad that the conversation went well. You worked it out as two adults should:) {{{{HUGS}}}} Mattea

    To Harry Potter fans...

    Emily-Thanks :) Did I mention I CAN'T WAIT!!!!! Oh, and if it makes anyone feel any better I DO NOT think that Harry will die. I just can't see her ending it that way. The whole time we've been building a life, a family, an amazing human being for/out of Harry, just to kill him? The very first...

    iTread!!!!

    Emily--No WAY lady. If you're running, You. Are. Running. End of story. When I first started running there was no way I could have run at the 4mph speed, but thanks to DH, Cathe, the Cheetahs, and now iTreads I've come a long way for me. But---I've never done a marathon and am in AWE of anyone...
