    Any chatters out there tonight?

    I'm in California. And it's not cold here. It hardly ever is. I feel sort of cheated every Christmas because of course we don't have snow.

    How many of you take rest days?

    I voted Other because I don't schedule rest days. I just take them when other parts of my life cause me to miss a workout! Now, I do have lighter workouts that ususal scheduled in during the week.

    Should You Exercise On An Empty Stomach

    It depends on how intense or how long the workout is. I started out on a 10 mile training run once without eating breakfast. I almost didn't make it. The first 4 or so miles were OK but my glycogen stores must have been depleted after that. That wasn't such a great feeling so now I always...

    That is SO cool! I have a little village that I add on to each year. I wait until really close to or right after Christmas and buy the items a year ahead of time when the stores are practically giving them away.

    Anyone else irritated by the Victoria's Secret "fashion" show?

    RE: Anyone else irritated by the Victoria's Secret VS models and models in general really don't bother me. I'm 46 years old and have had four children. For all that wear and tear I don't look so bad!! Plus, I can run a four hour marathon! And my husband thinks I'm PERFECT so I have nothing...

    9 years later

    It's been a long while now, but I can distinctly remember breaking up with a boyfriend during the Christmas season. It was really rough but the good news is that eventually the pain goes away. So, so sorry you have to go through this! My heart goes out to you.... Try to hang in there!

    WW Core Program, anyone?

    The core plan is plain ol' clean eatin'. If you're going to do WW I'd recommend the core plan since I consider it a lifestyle change rather than a temporary diet. If you do the flex plan you can eat as much crap as your points allow and to me that's just a diet. I would think that once...

    What do you want for Christmas

    I asked for an assisted pullup tower and it was delivered today! It's sitting outside the front door so my DH can bring it in when he gets home from work. That thing is heavy! It was only $179 from Costco and there was no shipping fee. There are several other fitness related things I'd like...

    Jelly Belly sports beans

    Yep, I used them when I trained for and ran a marathon this past October. I used them at the tail end of my 20 mile long run and the last 3 or so miles of the marathon.
