Hi all; I was just checking out Ryka shoes on the internet and I was wondering if anyone knows why the company isn't making the Enlight II anymore?? I just got my first pair of Enlights a few months ago and they are absolutely the best aerobics shoes I've ever owned. Did they just...

A second vote for #4. I have both, and on several occasions, I've actually switched mid-workout from #5 to #4 because 5 just wasn't doing it for me. There's something special about 4, don't know what it is, I just know that I like it. Dee

You look faboo. You look like a personal trainer. You're basically dressed the same way Cathe and the team are dressed for all their videos, and they all strike me as being consummately professional. So do you, in my opinion. Dee

Hi; I got the lighter (2.5-20#) set of Bowflex Selecttech, and while I generally like it (for the same reasons cited by other posters, mostly the small weight increments), the time it takes to change the weight really does interfere with some workouts, so I still use my dumbbells. I was...

Hi- This one, and iMax3, and the cardio blast section of KickMax always kill me. My heart and lungs are usually pretty game to get through the whole thing...but the plyo jacks and the plie jacks killed me every time. My legs just couldn't take it. I just did as much as I could and then...

For all you Classical Stretch lovers (or haters, or anyone else who's tried the workouts); I have the DVD with the Total Body Workout and the Athlete's Intense Stretch. I just got it, and I found it weirdly addictive. I just...ENJOY stretching this way, and in parts, it's pretty...

RE: Boxer no longer I signed -thanks for the heads-up.

I got P90X a few months ago, tried it for several weeks, got bored, and came back to Cathe. Now, my SO wants to try P90X with me as a workout partner, so I'm revisiting. I cannot do ANY pull-ups. Otherwise, I am ridiculously fit. I lift heavy, can do push-ups on my toes, and I do loads...

I agree with the other posters. A heart rate monitor (with a chest strap) will change the way you think about your workouts and will enhance your understanding of your body and fitness. I LOVE LOVE LOVE my HRM. I had the second-cheapest Polar monitor for several years, then it got lost in...

Hi there; San Antonio is a fun town to visit. I'm sure more locals will chime in, but here's what I remember: La Fogata, 2427 Vance Jackson Rd , San Antonio. VERY STRONG MARGARITAS. And delicious & unusual Mexican and Tex-Mex. I had some sort of relleno with a creamy pecan sauce there...

Hi there; Not Kathryn, but "veg*n" is a common way of expressing "vegetarian or vegan", where the asterisk takes the place of the "etaria" or the "a". Dee

Hi there; It's true that you have to be careful balancing nutrition if you're vegan. But the protein thing is totally do-able. Nuts and nut butters are terrific foods but I try to make sure they're only present in small quantities. I'm vegan and I eat lots of: 1)Tempeh: fermented...

Swayze, I saw this and thought of you: http://veganyumyum.com/2007/01/kale-salad-with-orange-blackberry/ I just posted about this blog on the "Open Discussion" forum as well. Incredible recipes! Dee

http://veganyumyum.com/ Oh my goodness - beautiful vegan food with recipes, photos, even step-by-step videos! This might be the best vegan recipe blog in the universe. Recipes range from the obscenely healthy (http://veganyumyum.com/2007/01/kale-salad-with-orange-blackberry/) to the...

Sorry I've been "absent" for a few days -- I got so busy with work that I haven't had any time to post! I've been pretty good, but forgot that I had a vegan potluck event on Saturday. There were plenty of raw dishes and I am very proud of myself that I didn't veer too far off track - but...

Fresh apricots...sound incredibly good. I live in Maryland, and we're in a bit of an "awkward phase", produce-wise...the apples are great, but the citrus hasn't quite caught up yet. I'm missing the nectarines, which are always my favorite. Dee

I'd be happy to. It's pasted below. I was pining a little for my grandmother's warm curried fruit salad... Curried Fruit Dressing 1 tsp of Curry powder (any type – I used salt-free red curry powder but I think any old kind would do) ½ tsp of cinnamon, ½ tsp of ground cloves 1-2...

How exciting! New people! Huzzah! Welcome! Swayze, I aslo decided that the Vitamix was too expensive. I got a Tribest personal blender and I really like it. I think I ordered it from Amazon, they had a really good price. I use it to whip up smoothies, salad dressings, etc. and it has...

Hello All; Today is an important anniversary for me. On this day last year, I had surgery for a ruptured appendix (!) and an intestinal malrotation. The basic explanation is, my appendix became infected, and at the same time (the doctors were never able to explain to me whether the two...

Hi Swayze; For those of you who are just checking in out of curiosity, it is worth noting that Swayze and I are working from two very different approaches to raw food! Swayze is admirably tackling almost entirely raw, whole fruits and vegetables with an emphasis on food-combining. She...
