Hello everyone! Pinky! Man, I'm so jazzed to hear from you! We've missed you. Flying overseas does take it out of you but it sounds like you're recuperating now. How is Andrew enjoying his visit with your family- bet he's having a blast! I had to chuckle at the image of your brothers poking...

Hi Carol! I'm basically new here, well almost two months:-), and wanted to tell you that I have really enjoyed your posts. You've very eloquent, expressive (I guess you covered that didn't you?;) ), honest, intelligent and thought-provoking. DH says I couldn't play poker because I wear my...

Hello everyone! Going to do SS today and yoga with Sarah Ivanhoe afterwards- it really helps to stretch and relax me and to reduce muscle aches. Lisa- that treat sounded delish and different. Hope you're feeling better- you've been through so much lately. I know you must miss your guys-...

*Don't have time* is probably the biggest excuse DH and I've heard from some of our students' parents. To which I reply: *I totally understand how busy you are. You do so much for everyone else, take some time for you. You're here with your child already- jump on out onto the floor and we'll...

Hello everyone! Did Push-Pull plus the first three intervals from IMAX 2- felt good even though at the start I was feeling a bit tired. Doing another cardio tomorrow- maybe a longer interval one. We have a big annual festival here in town and DH and are going tomorrow to check out the street...

Hello everyone! Going to do L&G- got a later start than usual. Got Imax2/C&W today and am going to preview it later after my w/o. I've been putting in an interval w/o (CTX Steps and Intervals) each week to shake things up a bit more and I've been hearing such great things about IMAX2 and how...

Hello Heather! I have the L'Equip juicer that I got from juicersdirect.com. I like it very much- it's the *slowest* of the centrifigal juicers out there (slower spin, less air, more nutrient-rich the juice). I would also do a google search and find articles about juicers and juicing and which...

Hello Sabine! I'm so sorry to hear you're under the weather today- I'm sending you a cyber-hug ((((Sabine))))). I felt similar to you last week- took an extra rest day and I felt alot better. Pamper yourself today- pop in a favorite movie, curl up with a good book with an afghan around you-...

Hello everyone! Going to doing KPC today, in fact in about 15 minutes from now. I was going to make Fri my yoga day, but since I'm incorporating it in the evening a few times a week, I'm going to do C&W or a total body weight w/o- so many choices...:-). L&G is on tap for tomorrow- it's been...

RE: Yoga Hello Lisa, All the posters had good advice and input. I have had trouble breathing for years and I've found the extra cardio really helped including yoga. Yoga focuses on the breath so I would recommend a relaxation yoga tape to start with (little exertion therefore not adding any...

Gosh, Pinky- now you did it, I'm drooling all over myself here.:9 I LOVE lechon- I grew up with alot of Cubans and Puerto Ricans in my teens and some of my most memorable meals were lechon, arroz con pollo (chicken and rice), frijoles negros( black beans) and platanos (fried plantains)- yummm...

Hello everyone! Been busy this week and yesterday came down with some tummy troubles and felt a bit feverish so I'm taking a few days off. Hope you're all enjoying your weekend- it's gorgeous here, sunny and warm. DH and I are going to take a ride in the country in my convertible- it's a...

Sabine and all of you magnificent ladies: You guys aren't alone. I know I have a distorted body image. I was overweight as a teen and was teased unmercifully by friends and had an uncle at our Thanksgiving table exclaim: *Wow, look how fat you got! Would you look at her arms!*... I was...

Hello everyone! Thought I'd pop in and say hi! Seems the *crappy* eating ran rampant from coast to coast :-) as I didn't eat as well as I normally do! I do keep some goodies on hand, mostly for DH and sometimes for myself when I want a taste of a goodie but this weekend I munched more than I...

Hi Alia! If you want a strapless heart rate monitor there is the MIO watch- don't have the URL but you can probably google heart rate monitors and find it. It's a wrist watch that you touch with two fingers to get your rate. I don't know if it has the calories burned feature or not. In...

Hi Mar! Good thread! Count me in as a tomboy- loved to run, jump rope, play ball, ride bikes, wrestle, run races (I was second fastest on my block and boy was I proud of that- beat out most of the boys and I was the smallest one as well!:P) I'm the youngest of three with two older...

Thanks for posting this Carol! I previewed the DVD's and was going to watch it again to get the exercises and weights (did that for TS5). Haven't done the DVD's yet, but will be incorporating them in a week or two. Thanks again and have a great day! Elizabeth

I second Paula's Choice. Great products that work and inexpensive prices. DH has occasional breakouts along the forehead (me, I get the occ one at the base of my nose- what it lacks in frequency makes up for it in SIZE!...x( ) and I got him on the cleanser. Really helps to keep us clear. I also...

Bonjour Mes Amies! (Felt like using some of my HS French today...:-)) Well, I worked out Mon-Weds but developed an internal strain and was told to not lift heavy and to rest for a few days. So I plan on getting back into it next week. Sabine- sorry to hear there weren't any of the yummy...
