    So I've been doing half a lemon with water. Lately with warmish water. I don't put it in tea because it makes it sour. I find that a whole lemon is just too much. Do you have Meyer lemons where you are? It's a bit sweeter. How interesting your bathroom constraints. I wish I had added a...

    Wow, love all the posts! Marie, I hope the tantrum storm has passed. I'm sure your calm demeanor will squelch more tendencies than not. Imagine the children who scream and throw tantrums to get what they want! Jean, the toughest part of butternut squash is peeling it. You could lose a...

    Good morning! There is a coating of snow, surprisingly. I watch the weather several times between the 5 to 6 o'clock news and nothing sticks in my brain. I couldn't tell you what the forecast is for today! On Tue and Thu I sleep an extra half hour. It flew by in a snap. Drinking my warm...

    Jean, let me know what you think of that movie. I did hear of it during the Golden Globes. Carolyn, how sad about the little girl. It's so hard to draw the line between giving a reality check to the kids and keeping them sheltered. Missy, I wouldn't mind buying some of Cathe's outfits from...

    I'm with Marie--can't stomach beets. But maybe a powder or something else?? Marie, you did post the recipe before; you're not losing it. How absolutely adorable B grabbed his blanket and took such a long nap. Was he feeling unwell, or just recuperating? So cute! I love shopping! I'd do it...

    Hiho. Dark cloudy day. So it feels much colder. I pulled out LL&A. Plus barre, minus floorwork with band and abs. It was tough today! Cathe has thought it all out--she has a method why her music doesn't match her RWH workouts. But why didn't she use her step mat and slanted risers??:D...

    Jean, what a marvy description of your sewing journey. Loved it. I feel the same way when I play disco music!:D Carolyn, you'll have massive doms! What is the magnesium for? I'm read it's good for menopause or something. And your body will get used to the hyaluronic acid again. It's the...

    Hiho. Only mid-20s today, the sun being quite deceiving. I left work at 2:15 to take ds to piano, then we hit the poultry place for our eggs, then Trader Joe's. Carolyn, I just saw an ad for the TJX parent company. We all know it owns Marshalls, TJM, Home Goods. But did you know it owns...

    Good sunny morning! It's so motivating to see the sun. But I repeat myself. For my exercise this morning I washed the stove and dish rack surfaces.:confused: I DO feel slight tris & chest doms today!:D Yay! As you can imagine, I skipped all the floor pushups (I subbed wall ones at times)...

    Marie, oh no! for B.:( Hope he feels better soon. What a sweet looking dog. I love that he's gentle with B! That just gets me! (insert appropriate emoticon here!) Missy, I love naturopathic doctors. I'll check this book out and let you know. Remember to go easy on the running. Jean, I...

    Hiya. Left work at 3. It if hadn't been raining, I might have flown out at 2 to do some errands but when there's rain, everything is a clogged and slow mess so I didn't bother. It is so raw out. I have the fire going, some matcha tea, nuts, and my forum. Once I post, I'll watch the Downton...

    WOW, Carolyn! Your rink is huge! So amazing! Fun to just go outside whenever the mood strikes and just skate! So jealous! Although just like having a spin bike, I don't know how often I'd go out:confused: Missy, how stinky that you have an outage! Not to be able to exercise and shower...

    Carolyn and Missy--it's good that dh hung out with a friend. I did 4 loads of laundry, probably a record in one day for me! Jean, I'm so glad that every so often you love a movie I recommend! That one was very enjoyable. Light at that hour is definitely encouraging. More, please. Doesn't feel...

    OMG, 6 am! What a nightmare!;) The things we do for our kids! Proud mama indeed! I'm still in laundry mode. I'm so sick of the cold! Jean, it's all moves that Cathe has probably covered at one time or another (concentration, barbell curls, one arm rows, etc). Some of the finishers are new...

    So agree about the stretches! Why would she ever agree to using the abs stretch after a Hiit workout?? Way too intense for a lame stretch! As other posters said, I miss the intros of crew too! I'm freezing too. It is a very cold day! Looking forward to that rink pic, C! I just read the...

    C, that's the workout I did yesterday. So picture starting on round 2 each time. It's like you're behind already! I am a lightweight, so some bis I did 8, some 10. On the rear delts, I used 3#! With my froz shoulders, I still can't open my arms all the way wide! So using a heavier weight...

    Oh, how I love the sisterhood of football haters!:D Me three! Mary, I thought of your dh. Did he go to the Consumer Electronics Show in Vegas this week? I don't know why I thought he went last year. Nice going on the arm workout. I don't like doing my tris since it never seems to work so I...

    Wow, Marie! I love the idea of the mission to reduce the use of chemicals! Have a great weekend at work. I love that you pack lunches for both days in advance. Me? I just leave it till the last minute, rushing around. One multi-purpose cleaner: vinegar and water. Use it to clean your...

    Omg, couldn't leave work till 3:45! Ugh, it's killing me, how long I stay!:confused: Apparently yesterday was a nightmare! Carolyn, I still haven't read it yet, but I imagine Cathletes want to know all about it, and maybe even try the NG. I wouldn't but do want to hear Cathe's inflammation...
