    Lent......

    I loved your post, Gayle! I have taken this approach to Lent before and I am going to be a copy cat!! I have been thinking about your post since I read it yesterday. I am going to do the same as your #1 Lenten promise...honor my body by not binging on foods that are bad for me. Thank you...

    Turbo Kick info

    I have done them at my gym and they are very fun, sweat inducing and motivating!! I am sure that it can depend on the instructor and mine is very good, but I really love Turbo!! Jenn

    Happy Weight

    Have you seen this? It will tell you that your "happy weight" is supposed to be. It is a realistic number for me (Although I am not quite there yet!!). What do you think? Jenn http://www.self.com/livingwell/articles/2008/01/0121_happyweight

    I can't do Interval Running

    I used to jump rope when my kids were smaller. They always wanted to join in. Sometimes I would let tham jump with Mom (I twirl and jump with one of them infront of me jumping on my count). That was harder, so I bought them each their own ropes that had the counters on them. Good luck...

    Push ups

    If you do a search, you will find lots of pointers (Really hold your body stiff/rigid, hold in your abs, make sure hands are straight below shoulders). The best advice I have is to do a few EVERY day. I have been doing a few every morning since October. I could do about 4 with good form...

    The BEACH

    Katie~ What part of OBX will you be visiting? The Outer Banks is one of my absolute favorite places. We have been there many, many times and I love it even more after every visit. We go to Manteo/Duck/KillDevil Hills areas. I am so jealous! Jenn

    What are you getting your SO for Valentine's Day?

    Sorry~ We ignore this "holiday", too. When we were dating we would get each other cards, but that was it...17 years later...nothing and that is how we like it. The best gifts we get for each other are on random days for no apparent reason, and not expensive! Jenn

    Decorative glass bowl ideas?

    I still have a bowl full of colorful Christmas bulbs in one of mine. I will replace them with pine cones soon. I also have one filled with seashells from all over that we have collected over the years. The seashells are my favorite! So my suggestions: pinecones, holiday ornaments...

    MP3 Recommendations for Running

    We have 3 different ones in our home. One is from Wal-Mart, one from our local Meijer store and one from KMart. They were all around $30.00 and super easy to use. I just download my own CDs to my computer and transfer them to my MP3s. The instructions are very easy to follow. A lot of...

    Question for all you runners

    I haven't read any other responses, but I had the same problem. I eventually found that I was focusing TOO MUCH on the breathing. When I just ran and didn't think about it, I was totally fine. I found my rhythym and my "groove"!! I think that having really good music really helped me to do...

    LASIK

    I had it done 10 years ago. I still have 20/20 vision and would do it again in a heartbeat! It is a weird feeling when the surgery is happening, but you will be able to see clearly right away! Good luck! The valium (well...that is what they gave me!)really helps alleviate any fears you...

    sparkpeople

    Unfortunately, yes, you have to enter them all in. And I found that they really don't offer the ones that I did with Cathe. I just skipped this part and rely on the website for my calories only. I really like this site since it gives me the actual amount of calories, fat, etc. that I am...
