    Help, I need advice from afternoon/evening exercisers

    Hey everyone! I wanted to thank you all again for the great insight and to let you know that I finally got in an afternoon workout! I really enjoyed it and now I'm really hoping that it helps with my sleep tonight, too. I worked out at 4pm so it should not be late enough to negatively affect...

    What are you hoping for under the tree?

    Well, my gift won't fit under the tree but it is my brother, who got home from Iraq in September and just signed out of the army this past Friday. He will be here to celebrate Christmas with the whole family and we are all thrilled to know he doesn't have to go back. Okay, I haven't asked...

    Help, I need advice from afternoon/evening exercisers

    Thank you all so much, it was extremely helpful. I figure if I can get dinner prepared early, then I can have DD put it in the oven for me so it will be ready shortly after I'm done working out. I'm also hoping that getting in a good late afternoon workout will help me sleep better at night...

    Help, I need advice from afternoon/evening exercisers

    I have been a morning exerciser for years. For a long time I would do my workout around 5:30-ish and had no problems. This last semester (I'm a student and commute 35 minutes one way) I would get up at 6, have breakfast, and then work out just after 8am after taking DD to school because I...

    Foundation/cover up for teens

    P.S.-Everyday Minerals is a much better price than Bare Minerals (I used to use Bare Minerals but have since switched).

    Foundation/cover up for teens

    I don't know about clearing it up, but mineral foundation is fantastic. I have sensitive skin with rosacea and it is just wonderful! Check out everydayminerals.com...they have a sample kit where you can try three shades of foundation, as well as some other things and all you have to do is pay...

    feeling satisfied with frequent meals

    It really does depend on the person. If you feel more satisfied eating 3 meals, then do that. I personally have to eat more frequently, mostly because of blood sugar issues...I can actually tell when I've gone more than 3 hours without eating because I start getting shaky, irritable, etc. I...

    What do you say to people when...

    I love the responses! LOL The next time someone says that to you, you can always tell them "You know, it's just as rude and offensive to call someone too skinny as it is to call someone fat" and then turn and walk away and go about your business. My personal favorite, though, was the one...

    What's your favorite Low-Cal dessert/snack food?

    I've just recently discovered the absolute joy of my hershey's hot cocoa. If you have a refrigerator and microwave at your work, you can do this. I adjusted the single serving hot cocoa mix from Hershey's to use splenda instead of sugar. Combine 2Tbsp hershey's unsweetened cocoa and 2Tbsp...

    Magic Bullet Blender...FYI (a little long, but good to know)

    RE: Magic Bullet Blender...FYI (a little long, but good... Thanks Viki! I was at Walmart with DH and found something similar. I realized that the only thing I use a blender-type appliance for is protein shakes, so something like that would be perfect for me :-)

    Help! I need a blender for Shakes

    Impressive...I wonder if this is the 'blender on crack' that my friend constantly tells me about! I'll have to ask her, because she does more with her blender than I would have ever thought possible ;-)

    Help! I need a blender for Shakes

    I just checked out the vitamix blenders and I have a question for you. I am really not meaning to sound rude, but what on earth could possibly make a blender worth almost $400? What can you do with it that you can't with a regular blender?

    One of the happiest and saddest days of my life today

    Jerry, I agree with Leanne...I bet the nursing home mostly hears from people when there are complaints. After having been in the customer service area for a while I always make a point to let people know when they are doing a GOOD job. I know I always appreciated hearing good things instead of...

    Magic Bullet Blender...FYI (a little long, but good to know)

    I'm not sure, but I've seen things that look like a Magic Bullet. I think that maybe I'll just buy a blender or something. I didn't ever use the Bullet for chopping because more often than not it made paste, even if you 'pulsed' it. But I use it every day for protein shakes and for blending...

    Help! I need a blender for Shakes

    Don't get the Magic Bullet!! I have one, I like it, but getting a replacement part for it is absolute he**. See the post I put up last night about it and hopefully you won't get one. I'm not in the market for something new as well.

    Magic Bullet Blender...FYI (a little long, but good to know)

    Yeah, that made me so mad, though! So I will most definitely spend my money on a competitor's product. But before I do, I want to be sure that people that are thinking of buying one realize what kind of customer service they have and take their business elsewhere. Customer service really...

    Magic Bullet Blender...FYI (a little long, but good to know)

    I have a Magic Bullet and have really enjoyed using it to make my protein shakes. I contacted customer service to try to order a new crossblade and gasket and am stunned at what they are requiring of me since I don't have my proof of purchase. I received it as a gift about 2 years ago probably...

    One of the happiest and saddest days of my life today

    Jerry, big <<<hugs>>> to you. I know how hard it can be, but you had an invaluable source of help...your wife. I am so glad she was able to help you get your mom set up in such a great place! I don't know if you remember, but I was at my grandmom's the day that she left her home of 50 years...

    Protein powder ok for kids?

    Because my daughter is a picky eater I've made her some protein shakes with fruit and protein powder, but I give her half a scoop at most.
