>I'm so not a Jersey girl. Having been brought up in New Jersey, I felt a little sad when I read that remark:(

We recently took a week long vacation in Aruba. Leading up to our departure both my husband and I got asked by several people if we were taking our boat (??). Seriously, Aruba is about 2,000 miles away from where we live. How fast do they think our boat goes?

My DH used to rattle the roof with his snoring! To make a long story short it was a problem with his sinuses, a deviated septum, and allergies. He had an operation to fix everything about a year ago and now takes allergy shots. It made a world of difference in his snoring. He's also told me...

I bought the Bosu from GNC too. It hasn't been delivered yet, but I'm anxious to try it out! I've been wanting to buy one for a while but was balking at the $100 pricetag. After I get back from vacation I'm going to buy a couple videos to use with it. I've heard a lot of good things...

You'll need to get used to Christi's style but her cuing is supurb and her music is absolutely the best. Her choreo is more complex but quite doable after two to three times thru. Fantastic Four is the first of hers I bought. I ended up liking it so much I've added Humble Beginnings, Cardio...

The same thing happened to me. I didn't have a baby, but when I was losing weight my clothing size didn't change until after I had already lost more than 25 pounds. Then all of a sudden I was dropping sizes like crazy. Eventually I went from a 16 to a 6. Be patient, your body is going...

RE: How Did You Learn all the Step and KickBox Routines... Cathe's Cardio Hits was my first step DVD - ever. I just took one of the workouts and learned it one combo at a time. At first I'd do combo one three times as my whole workout. Once I got that down then I'd do combo 1 once then combo...

I still do MIC regularly. MIC was my #1 calorie burner until Cardio Fusion came along. I just try to avoid looking at the outfits. They kind of remind me of car hop uniforms or worse yet, like the gym suits they used to make us wear in high school. LOL. I like Rhythmic Step too but only do...

Thanks so much for the link. I just might order it! Seasun Zieger and Christi Taylor are regulars in my rotation. I also have tried Patrick Goudeau and Rob Glick, but although their routines are fun, they lack the intensity I like. Rebecca Small looks to have both good choreo and intensity...

For a 'cleaner' chocolate fix, I take peeled overripe bananas, cut them in half and roll them in unsweetened cocoa (you can also put the cocoa/banana in a sealed ziplock bag and shake to coat) . Sometimes I put a little artificial sweetener on it too but most times the banana provides enough...

I second the suggestion to mark your bosses calendar so that he is not available after 5PM your time every day. I was forced to do that for the same reason. Although it didn't prevent all people from trying to schedule time with me after 'normal' business hours it certainly has cut down on the...

LOL That's a riot! Thanks for sharing it. Girls, this just goes to show you how important it is to do sit-n-stands (especially the 'hover' part) on a regular basis. Strong thighs make 'The Stance' so much more comfortable!;-)

Misheard lyrics always crack me up too. I used to think Neil Diamond's song was 'Reverend Blue Jeans' instead of 'Forever in Blue Jeans'.:D There's actually a term for it. It's called a mondegreen. I remember visiting a website once with some common ones. Some of them are pretty funny...

I would love to be included. Since I didn't participate the last time I'm really looking forward for casting my votes this time! Thanks for taking this on.

Funny that I see this thread today. This morning, just for something completely different, I did Petra's core workout from All Star Workouts on FitTV. This was my first exposure to Petra. It wasn't what I would call an advanced workout, but it was creative and it hit the core from all...

First, did you also check out Butterick or Simplicity patterns? They both have their patterns online too. Also, I don't think what you want would be too difficult for a seamstress to make from a basic dress pattern with just a few adjustments. Have you talked to her about what you want...

There is a product that you can put in your kitties food that makes her poop taste bad to dogs. I think most pet supply stores carry it. I think it's called 'forbid' or something like that.

I'm 48 and am in the best physical health as I've ever been. However, looking at me with my clothes off I don't anyone would think that LOL. My skin is not near as tight as it was in my 20's or 30's and I've started to notice a thickening around my waist since entering perimenopause. However...

How about natural peanut butter on whole wheat toast? My husband (a big kid himself!) recently broke his morning Tastycake habit by switching to this.

RE: What can I pack DH for lunch on the road besides sa... I get a large package of skinless chicken drumsticks, marinate them, cook them all on the grill, then throw them in the refrigerator. They are great for a meal-on-the-go or a quick snack.
