Sounds tasty! Do you sprinkle the cheese one top, or stir it in? Andrea

I've been reading a lot here on nutrition. Many have or are working on giving up sugar or caffeine. I am always so afraid of getting hooked on caffeine. Thankfully coffee makes me gag, but I love Pepsi. I allow myself one a day, and don't always want one. So, I'm doing good staying...

Thanks Trevor I see what you mean now. No, powerlifter look is not what I want. Andrea

Trevor Does a 3 rep max add strength or size? When you say bodyshaping, can you elaborate for me? I really enjoy lifting heavy, with low reps. At home I only go down to 8 reps, but if I was ever able to go to a gym I'd be interested in working down to 3. I was under the impression that this...

Debbie Would an XL tankini been more comfortable? I ask because I'm a 36B also, but have wide shoulders. Lots of tops cut into my armpits. I usually buy a L, but you're quite a bit smaller than me. I wonder if the L pants would have a 33" inseam. Does anyone know? Andrea

I think we all tried this, huh? Try using your knuckles and thumb instead of fingertips (only to the second joint of the fingers). And put your hand half way between your knee and butt. Andrea

You will be sore in different places the first few times. The two sites Carol suggested are great! Andrea

Just watched it! What a joker that guy is! It was a very short segment, but he wants to swim from Catalina Island to the mainland (can't remember what city) of California. It's 26 miles, and he wants to do it underwater with air tanks. He thinks it will take him 22-23 hours. When he...

RE: Jack LaLanne on I wonder if it was the first thing on? I turned it on at 7:30 and haven't heard anything yet. Andrea

Powermuffins These have pumpkin in them, but also carrots. I got this from another site...trinewbies.com. Trimom's POWER MUFFINS 1-1/4 cup all purpose flour 1-1/2 cup whole wheat flour 1 cup oatmeal 1/2 cup soy granules scant 1/2 cup sugar scant 1/2 cup packed brown sugar 1 T...

If you feel you need the week off, then take it. You won't lose any fitness in a week. If you think you may have a problem getting back in the groove again after the week off, consider doing easier workouts for a week, or cutting it down to less days for a week. Andrea

Calories I am also 6' tall and just want to remind you that your wife is going to need more calories than the average height woman. Also, do the cravings go along with hunger? I've found that I have to make sure I'm eating enough at meals, otherwise I'm grabbing junk later. Andrea

Nice race! Wow, you ARE a fast walker!!! Congratulations on a great race! I just started swimming yesterday. I could only go 2 minutes before taking a break. Yikes! I swim in a lake, so have no way of measuring yards. I'm hoping to work up to 20 min. straight. Andrea

I hate being nervous! Eat well and drink LOTS the day before. Take something to eat with you to the race. I find I usually can't stomach anything race morning, but once I get to the race, my nervousness disappears! Good Luck and let us know how it goes! Andrea

Great news Connie! Andrea

Almost any exercise gives me that "high". For me it's just a great feeling. I'm so happy I accomplished whatever I set out to do that day. And when I skip a workout, I am usually raring to go that afternoon because I love the way workouts feel. Yes, I have bad workouts. And those don't...

I do my lower body work after a Spinerval. Although lately, I'm finding it hard to fit it in and still have enough in my legs for my running and biking for the week. But, then most people lift tons more than me for lower body. You could try it and see how you like it. You may want to...

I hear ya on the westsuit thing! I'm training for one in Las Vegas in September. It's a long wait! Andrea

Doing S&H once a week alternated with intense cardio 3x/week gave me more muscle. I didn't change my eating at all. I was afraid to cut my cardio to 3x, but decided to try it for a short time. Results were great!

Hi Alhambra, I'm also training for my first tri. If you are feeling good with the schedule you are doing now then I think it would complement you greatly. If you start to get too fatigued, you might cut out one weight workout. I know a lot of tri training plans call for only one weight...
