I'm also an Aquaphor believer. But, I think it just takes trial and error to figure out what works for you. I have a tub of Aquaphor in my bathroom and a small tube I carry in my purse. Then I had Chapstick extra moisturizing (or some such) that I also carry around and have everywhere--kitchen...

If you're willing to go a little further south, I went here in 2009: http://www.locogringo.com/akumal/akumalbeachresort.html and it was fantastic. Not as lavish as other resorts in that area, but very clean with great staff. It's owned by an Italian company, so there were lots of Europeans...

I have Case Histories on my bedside table, I'll be starting it as soon as I finish The Slap. I'm looking forward to reading it. Thanks for the recommendation, Clare! anne

Has anybody else read Room? I read it over the weekend, it was quick, but good. I'm going to look for other titles by that author. I'm also reading The Slap. Very interesting read. anne

I'm reading, "I See Rude People" by Amy Alkon. She's an advice columnist and came out with a book about manners. I just started it, so I don't have a strong opinion yet. Sunday night I stayed up waaaayyyy too late finishing The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest. I love that series! anne

Awwww, thanks, guys! I had a great day! anne

Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday, dear Cathe! Happy birthday to you! anne

Morning! I can't remember if I checked FB this morning, is that where everyone is? Did I tell you guys I tried suspension training the other night? Have you heard of this? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suspension_training I guess it's the latest craze in the gyms and one of the guys I row...

No time to catch up on personals, sorry! Will try to do better tomorrow. It's not raining right this second, but I don't know if rowing will be a go or not. I'll go to the boathouse and see what the open rowing coach says. See you all in the AM. Have a great evening, everybody. anne

Morning, everyone! It's cloudy here and may rain, but that's okay. We need it, even though it will mean no rowing tonight. If that's the case, maybe I'll finally do some weight lifting. It's been ages. Cathe's going to kill me on the RT. Julie, it sounds like things are calming down a little...

Klaudia, I'll be over for lunch, I love steak salad. Did the bunk beds get to the cottage? Colleen, great work out! You are going to put me to shame, but I'm sure I'll still have fun. Becky, I love the kickbox from 4DS. Maybe I should try to do that this week. Sorry for the lack of sleep...

Have you thought about joining one of the check-ins? Or starting a new one? I know it's not the same as having someone in person, but for some of us it's very motivating. Well, said sheepishly, not me right now, but in general it's good. I did a rotation with one of my check-in buddies one month...

I started taking zumba this summer because my tap teacher got certified in it and she thought I might like it. I do, but it is no Cathe work out by any means. It doesn't get my heart rate up like a step or kickbox video does. But, I really like it and it's new, so I'm enjoying it. There was...

Whoops, I did retail therapy at Target. I bought 3 bathing suits and 3 tank tops in addition to the baby gift. :o The bathing suits are bikinis, so I'm going to try them on at home. I don't know if I can wear a bikini, I haven't in years. We will see. Nina, when is DH's interview? {{{HUGS}}} on...

Clintonya, if you and your girls (don't know about DH) like fashion, check this out: http://www.metmuseum.org/special/se_event.asp?OccurrenceId={CA088C8E-D618-4503-91E7-833569115BF2} That's one of the things TCB and I are going to do while I'm there. I've never been to the Met, so I'm looking...

Hola, chicas! I am such a bad checker-inner lately. I will try to do better, but make no promises. Becky, wow! I have an underactive thyroid and take synthroid daily, but nothing like what you have! It sounds like things are under control now, so that is good. And don't worry about doing...

As far as I know, she hasn't announced what she's doing next. anne

Hey, everybody, sorry I've been so MIA, just super busy. My brother and I went back over to see my dad yesterday because he was supposed to have a consultation with a psychiatrist. She doesn't do regularly scheduled appointments, just shows up at the place when she feels like it and sees whoever...

Thanks, Wendy! We will see on the mom and dad front, but at least things will be somewhat settled for a time, I hope. And, no, I don't eat clean on holiday weekends, but I think we all know I don't really belong in this check-in anymore! Since I rarely work out and eat like crap, but I know you...

Quick drive by to let you know I got to see Klaudia at the beach today. She says hi to everyone! Dad's appointment went well and he is not going to have open heart surgery, which is what we all prefer and his doctor agrees. He is tentatively scheduled to be discharged from where he is now on...
