Lmao! But seriously, can OSHA do something? :D Apparently being the boss means potty training optional?! I worked in a day care for three years and okay, the infants were a little messy- but I never ONCE had that happen with the toddlers or preschoolers. I mean, how?!?! Not that I actually...

Sadly this reinforced my previous decision. I believe the full effect would be lost on me. Holy crap! :eek: A male friend of mine (who wants to get in shape) doesn't believe an at-home fitness dvd could help. "But those are made for women". Ha. Ha ha. I would LOVE to see him try to keep up.

Lol, congratulations! In a way it seems kind of silly to me, and in another way, duh!! There's a couple other BIG hormonal changes women go through during their lifetimes...no way to avoid those. I think it's called...growth? As a woman, as a person, of course feelings are going to change. I...

GREAT. Not what I wanted to hear, having melanoma in my family and pigment-free burn-prone extra-sensitive dry skin. Crap! Yeah, let's get on finding out what those ingredients were, guys. I will continue to slather on my Neutrogena spf 70 every morning though, and cover myself in Aveeno...

I definitely wasn't sore at all. I remember wondering if it counted as a triceps workout since I was trying SO hard to hold myself up to make it easier when I was rolling my legs. But nope, no DOMS. You didn't try any new workout that day? Or push yourself further since you just felt so loose...

The emoticon smiley combo says it all. If only that little 'eek' didn't look so happy. Yeah, I bet that gym offer is looking better! So you were a little put off by the decrease in income you'd see as a personal trainer, but...can you really put a price on not having to deal with THIS?!?

I'm with a lot of the others here. I actually tend to eat right before I feel like I'm going to get hungry and eat until I'm satisfied (not "full"). I feel like I eat mostly fruits and vegetables. Veggies are default eating for me; I tend to think in terms of "what carbs/protein am I going to...

Can you do standing ab exercises? Incorporating the legs, you can work the lower abs nicely along with the uppers without putting as much strain on the back. I had to say goodbye to squats too. It's sad, I know! Leg lifts on the floor with ankle weights can target your quads. Lay with your...

Great question! I was wondering if she would have to go lower since they're "rehearsing" a video all day. But then I don't really know to what extent they do that. If I'm dying during a set and I actually see Cathe huffing and puffing a little bit it's kind of comforting to me. But then I'm...

A friend of mine says she lost 7 lbs on Yaz, then gained 'em right back when she went off it, and now can't lose them at all. She had to stop taking it because of migraines. I don't know if she's a total goofball or what, since that's the exact opposite of your problem! :D Checking out some...

My mother has been in and out of the hospital all year. At one point she was undergoing surgery to determine whether she'd need a hysterectomy. That'd mean six weeks out of work, not to mention the actual bill. She seriously had to think this over. Of course uterine cancer is going to put a...

Thanks! I basically snooped around and found the best one I could by reputation at least. Everyone I've talked to loves her (and I love their hair, too) so I think it's the best I can do where I live. I am in a semi-rural area so there aren't any of the big expensive salons. I had to book out...

Oh no! Okay, I will have to try really hard not to ask you drug-interaction questions non stop. ;)

I was wondering too. I think I set up mine with the biggest format possible (100 x 100 pixels), but I couldn't figure out how to at least set up a bigger profile pic. Maybe a question for the administrators? That's the reason I didn't use a pic with my doggie!

Actually my appointment isn't until tomorrow. Lol, there'll either be a super happy post or a "I need help!!!" post tomorrow afternoon ;), wish me luck!

Same here. Not only am I not a fan, I simply can't do it because of my knees. I love my KPC though and I can't wait for MMA! A kickbox-circuit workout would be a dream. With lower/upper body premixes, of course?

LOL, I just remembered another thing from my doc's appointment. I was saying how I had been drinking a couple different herbal teas that supposedly ease inflammation and stomach upset. She looked at me, sort of sighed and rolled her eyes and said, "Try to go easy on the herbs, you never know...

Yikes. Gee, what a surprise I was never told about this when my doctor told me to take double doses of Prilosec for a couple months for stomach bleeding. Stomach bleeding caused by a different medication, of course. Agghh. I am so sick of medications.

That's exactly how I feel. No matter how consistently I train and how strong I get, there's certain moves I can't do and certain weights I can't use. I found out recently from my orthopedic surgeon that my biomechanics (e.g. leg length, hip width, tendon lengths, etc) really are a limiting...

Oh, some snacks I like: Carrots-don't actually love them, but the I need the crunchiness when I'm working late at the computer. Fruit- sounds silly, cause I don't really like fruit either, but forcing myself to eat some does kill the craving A couple things I love to eat that are almost...
