    Psst - Can we talk...panties?

    I have been enjoying this thread tremendously! I would not go commando if my last pair of panties was in the wash....that's reason enough to skip the workout. I admire you ladies who do though... The Hanky Panky thong has been praised over and over here. I still can't do thongs even with...

    Phew!

    I say a little prayer of gratitude for premixes! I did an LIC premix the other day and was :eek::eek:! Coming off a 4DS rotation it just feels so different to do those reps at that speed. I also have cat helpers. At any given time there are 4 cats inside...usually 2 or 3 will watch my...

    Frozen egg white dessert

    Those look easy and delicious! I just made egg-white "muffins" with grated zucchini, spinach, and a little tomato. I popped a half a Laughing Cow wedge into each one too....just 'cause. :o:D So now I'm looking for other wonderful uses for that muffin tin...thanks for posting!

    Which nut butter is everyone enjoying?

    I've been pondering this recipe and wondering if my little blendy doo-hickey could handle it....I'll have to read the instructions. But I thought of this....cocoa powder is FULL of antioxidants and fiber......Chocolate Crack?:p

    STS Turbo Tower

    I agree! I workout in our living room...ugh...so I have to put everything away when I'm done. I'd love to be able to leave my step out, and I'd like a dumbbell rack, and a shelf for just my workout DVDs, and a big mirror, and a fan, and a HRM chest strap warmer, and and and :p;) I'm starting...

    Tachycardia

    I strongly agree with all the advice you've already been given. Lay off the workouts for now. Go see a cardiologist...a good one! Don't let your primary doc push you around or minimize what you're telling her. You know your body best. There could be any number of causes for the heart rate...

    STS Turbo Tower

    Hi Natasha! Yes, I saw that announement too that there are plans to re-design the Turbo Tower but I think they also said there's no idea how long it might take...:(. So I really need to come up with something ASAP for my rotation - sounds like we're months away from a new Turbo Tower. I...

    STS Turbo Tower

    CathyV, what is the distance between the supports on that rack? I have a standard barbell and don't want to go to Olympic size. I know the Olympic bars are longer as we have a set-up in the basement. I'm with you Meredith....I really want to figure something out here as I'm starting on...

    Which nut butter is everyone enjoying?

    I keep PB on hand for medicinal emergencies. :p My go-to PB is Teddie all natural smooth (because the step-sons like smooth - I'm a chunky girl myself, LOL). However, for my personal use, and they know better than to go near it - Whole Foods dark chocolate peanut butter. When that runs...

    Need suggestions for 18 yr old with severe hormone swings

    I also vote for a thorough evaluation. Start with a regular MD or GYN if appropriate. And then please tell your friend to not hesitate to have her daughter evaluated by a psychologist if a physical basis isn't found or if preliminary remedies don't help. Don't let the poor kid suffer...

    I am torn now

    I vote for the old, familiar favorite. When you feel your body remembering the moves I think you will get that sense of joy returning. It just feels so good to work out and ignite those pathways between brain and body again. I hope it's a great work out!
