Congratulations, Jill! I remember how exciting it was to test for my First Degree Black Belt (I'm a Fifth Degree now). It's a wonderful accomplishment and I can certainly see how Cathe helped in your testing with the increased aerobic capacity and body strength. You Go, Girl!:-) Elizabeth

40something- You're quite welcome! It IS different from other mags out there, isn't it. Glad you found and enjoyed it! Elizabeth

Hello everyone! Sounds like many of you have some great plans for Mother's Day- have a wonderful day with your moms and family! Did SS yesterday but felt sick halfway through so I called it quits early. I'm going to do KPC today- I'll see how it goes. Brenda- hope your party goes well...

Hello everyone! Well, we got back from Vegas Monday afternoon (took the red-eye- yikes!:-)). We had such a great time. We did ALOT of walking, toured different casinos, ate some great food, did some gambling (DH played poker and I did slots- I came out even, hubby- lost a bit but he started...

Just wanted to pop in and say Hi! to all. Won't be checking in tomorrow til Mon. I'm starting on a new rotation next week so I'm taking an active rest week. Lisa- wanted to tell you Happy Birthday! in advance. May it be a wonderful day for you. Sabine- I haven't been working out for the...

I agree with the other posters. I started with Timesaver - they're really good workouts and I got some good results from it. I've gone on to her other DVD's but will keep it for timecrunch times or when I feel the need/desire for shorter yet still effective w/o's. And those pushups- AI-YI-YI!:-)...

HI Brenda! Wow! The Bellagio! Nice, nice hotel! The architecture is beautiful. No we're not going fancy this year (though you've got me drooling in envy here!...:-)). Dh and I debated whether to stay at a casino/hotel or not and we chose *or not*. Everytime we've gone to Vegas we've stayed at...

Hello All! Pinky- welcome back! We have missed you terribly! Sounds like you and Andrew had a wonderful trip and that it was a good beginning for better communication and understanding between you and your family. You know, I know that airport officials have to be careful but it did affront...

Hello All! Getting in late today- was really busy. Took my dog to the groomers (she was there most of the day as she is a REALLY hairy beast- yeah, but she's MY hairy beast!...:-) ) and she's so tuckered out she's been sleeping non-stop on the foyer floor. Went to the eye doctor on Fri...

Hi from one 40something to another...:-) I found FitnessRx in my local Books a Million. I was browsing the Health book section and saw it and two other fitness mags in a small display on the shelf. If you liked Energy, I believe you'll really enjoy this one as well. HTH! Elizabeth

I found one I really like- FitnessRx! Great articles and the fitness models look real!:-) I know what you mean Clare, Energy also owes me money. I was real bummed when I found out over a month ago. FitnessRx is alot like Energy- highly informative articles, no fluff, a serious magazine! But not...

Thanks, Trevor. Very interesting post and great info! I've been thinking about how to shake up my routine/rotations a bit and gotta admit I LOVE weight training. I'm an hourglass with some nice muscle tone (courtesy of genetics, The FIRM and now Cathe) but wish to become more defined. I'm with...

Okay, can I say that I DON'T like this game?!!;-) My name is chimchim girdlesniffer- yikes and yuck and can you blame me?!:7 Fun thread! Elizabeth

Thanks Brenda! It IS so nice to be able to see my alarm clock and DH's handsome face in the morning, tho' at this moment he's looking back at the *goofy* clone...:7 And awwww... your hubby is SO sweet! How is your HIIT coming along? Sounds like you're having some good success with it...

Thanks, Lisa- I appreciate it! Elizabeth

CinDee- YOU'RE cracking me up here!:7 Thanks for the laugh, the smile and the good thoughts. I'm sorry you weren't feeling well. Ouch! Your poor stomach!! Sending you healthy thoughts and a cyber-hug... Take care! Elizabeth

Hello All! Been away for awhile. I had my LASIK surgery last Thurs and the improvement in my eyesight is nothing short of miraculous! I was 20/600+ and now am about much closer to 20/20. From what I understand, the worse your sight the longer the recovery and my eyes will continue to improve...

I think it's because the 1- min kind has a smaller surface area and thus has a higher glycemic index than the slow cooking one. I read that somewhere. HTH! Elizabeth

Hello All! Going to do PP today plus some yoga. I took yesterday as a rest day as I had to be at my eye doctor's to have my eyes dilated- they have a new staff so I was there for about 3 hrs. I posted last night (kinda late so you may not have seen it)- I'm getting tested to see if I can have...

Hello All! Been at the eye doc's for part of the day (3 hrs) getting my eyes dilated for possible LASIX surgery next Thurs. I'm typing this w/ one hand and holding my glasses up four inches from my face w/the other so I can see (DH's getting a chuckle watching me do this!:7 ) But I had to...
