I love what your Dad said and entirely agree with him. I went back to school to be a registered massage therapist at 38 and graduated at 41. It was extremely tough to manage at times, as a single parent with 3 kids I was spread thin and challenged to the nth degree but we did it and I'll never...

I'm just home from the grocery store and was subjected to some horrific version of 'Jingle Bells' by Babs herself, Barbra Streisand, what were you thinking when your recorded that cacophony!! On the upside it got me the heck out of the grocery store in a hurry and for less than $20.00 :-)...

Prayers and Hugs Michele. It's never a good time to have so much emotional turmoil but there is an added 'sting' to the losses when the holidays are near. Thinking of you xo Take Care Laurie

Definitely a business related question that I have wondered about, it's a 2 part question though... What's your best selling DVD and how many units have been sold? I know she wouldn't answer the second part but I am curious. :-) Take Care Laurie :-)

I've just lost my bragger's rights for going almost 2 years without a cold :-( It hasn't hit me too hard but no sleep and lots of dry coughs last night. I'm all about the pharmaceuticals tonight, a hot cup of Neo Citran, some cough syrup and lights out! I bailed on my workout today, not good...

I totally agree that running is by and large mentally driven. I often wish I could read a 'ticker tape' re-hash of the internal chatter that occurs while I'm running. I've never done CC but if it's all you've known, my guess is that you have adapted to and become dependant on the motivation...

I had the Terminator DVD for a while before I really started to appreciate it and it's my 'go to' DVD for a good kick in the pants. They are all awesome workouts with tons of options even though there are no 'premixes', the Gauntlet is my favourite! Full body circuit, some step cardio, some...

Hey Shelley, prayers and good vibes to you and your sister. My husband had the same experience with Neupogen. He did a 5 day course to spike his WBC count before an autologous (self) bone marrow transplant. I scrambled for a week to find resources or direction to cover the enormous cost of...

I wasn't thinking about Christmas at all until my 17 year old daughter came home last night. She visited her boyfriend at University this weekend 5 hours away and came home last night. The first thing she said when she got home was "I bought you some Christmas presents Mommy!!" I'm going to...

Niiiice one aveggiegirl!!!! I love hearing of new ways to mix up older workouts. I'm giving this one a go next week. Thanks for sharing. Take Care Laurie

I say go for it! The BC and KB sections are my kind of cardio, get in, get out, quick and sweaty. The weights are awesome, a little different than some of her other weight workouts, a little heavier, a little slower which keeps things interesting. There are tons of premixes to keep you going...

Thanks a bunch ladies. I'm sorta settling into the reality, looked at my pathology books and some internet sites. Survival rates are like 95%+ so if the cone biopsy is curative then I'm free and clear. The anxiety of it all sits behind my sternum like another unwelcome guest. I wish I could...

Thanks EVERYONE for sharing your experiences, hugs, prayers and support. I just did a Kickboxing workout and spent some of my fear and frustration. I worked yesterday which was the best thing. I know in my heart I'm okay but this unwelcome guest in my body weighs heavy. Sharing with my forum...

Lynne, thanks, you are so right. There are so many options. I need to put that big "C" into the back of my mind and proceed positively (that'll be easier tomorrow ;-). You're right about staying in the present. I'll do my best to not waste mental energy on wild speculation. Shanna, me and...

Hi All: I'm kinda having a bad day. Just out found this morning that even after chryotherapy (6 months ago) and a loop excision of my cervix (3 weeks ago), there are cancer cells (squamous cells) on my cervix. I'm in shock, scared but trying to be rational. The next step is a cone biopsy of...

I always sleep on my left side with a pillow between my knees to keep my back in better alignment. Before kids I slept on my tummy, now it's not comfy and the 'girls' get in the way. Take Care Laurie

The change of the seasons is when I go back to the kitchen to cook and bake in large quantities. I've already made sauce with a bunch of roma tomatoes and a big batch of brocolli cheese soup yesterday. I'll get some cheap apples and make a bunch of sauce for the freezer. I must confess, I...

Whew...I made it over here fairly unscathed, my mind is reeling at the boards!! No biggie but my 'last visited' status in the upper right hand corner says 12-31-1969, ....ummm...I'm pretty sure I wasn't, I was kind of busy being 7!! ;-) Does anyone else have this date or is it just a random...

Mary, I'm the same as you and also hold the thick ends of the dumbell in each hand. With this position it's important to drop the shoulders away from the ears and imagine that you are holding a balloon between you elbows which gently draws the elbows to the midline and prevents flaring. Take...

The 80 minute KPC/LG premix. Don't know what it's called but it's the last one on the menu! Fun, intense and a treat for when I have extra time to workout. Take Care Laurie:)
