    Taking it to the Max-- June 2013 thru...

    Renee, I think what you're experiencing missing Ryan is totally OK. I think anger and rage and resentment are totally understandable. You are going to be angry and sad, and back again... I was wondering if you would feel comfortable going to talk to a therapist, or your pastor, or when...

    Hello, Katie, I am sorry that you guys are under the weather. :( That stinks! I hope you all feel better soon. You are all such troopers, though...and you'll forge ahead regardless I know, but I'm sorry that you're unwell. I'm also happy to hear that someone took the dog and is trying to find...

    Hello Everyone, Renee, good to hear from you! How wonderful that Ryan was so supportive of your fitness and health, and that he used you as inspiration for himself and for others! Your t-shirt of him is so lovely. Thank you for sharing that with us. When is the 5K? Katie, good to hear from...

    Homemade Bread (extended from Yogurt Thread)

    Nathalie, You are correct regarding the flour for bread that you can get in Europe. It's actually lower in gluten than the flour we typically use here in the US. That said, Europeans have no problem turning out absolutely delicious bread, but the techniques are very different there. What works...

    Happy Friday! Katie, have a great time at the concerts this evening. All the best to the kids. The Ugi is more expensive than what I want to spend right not too. I'm actually putting it on my Christmas list and DH will get one for me, hopefully. There is another balled called a Dynamax...

    Homemade Bread (extended from Yogurt Thread)

    Hi Sherry, Here is a new thread on homemade bread! :D I'm sure there are quite a few other folks here making their own bread, so I hope others will chime in and share their experiences too. I use a Kitchen-Aid mixer to knead my bread, but I use a regular bread pan and I bake it in the...

    Homemade Yogurt Machine recommendations?

    Hi Dianne, I cannot say for sure how long the homemade yogurt stays fresh. I do know I have kept mine for two weeks and it was fine...no off smells or flavors. But, I cannot say what the outer limits of this would be. Eva

    Hello All, Katie, the clip I posted was not TA. I would agree that she is probably not your cup of tea for myriad reasons...she can be pretty controversial in the things that she says, and her workouts are very, very different than the ones you're enjoying now. The clip was for the UGI. The...

    Nathalie, Congrats on your first batch of yogurt!! That is very, very cool. I have not tried soy milk yet...maybe I'll give that a whirl. We have an Asian market near my job that makes fresh tofu and fresh soy milk which is delicious. I'll have to try that next time I'm there. Enjoy...

    Renee, I cannot tell you how good it is to hear from you. I really don't even have the words. I am so happy to see you.:):):) There is absolutely nothing that I can say to make you feel better, as you have experienced a deep, deep loss, and what I imagine is a parent's greatest heartbreak...

    UGI Terri Walsh (ART) has been putting out UGI workouts lately. I think I'm going to get one of these at some point... here is a clip, Watch this! | Ugi Fitness. These are not ART workouts, but it shows you what it is and some ideas on how to use it. They come in different weights. I'll...

    Greetings, Ladylep and Katie, I hope you had a good weekend. Renee, it was good to hear from you on the main board. I think of you often. Let's see, Saturday I did an ART upper body workout and TA MS day 9. Sunday was TA dance cardio and MS day 10. Today I had to work late and took a rest...

    Homemade Yogurt Machine recommendations?

    Hi Sherry, I'm sorry that your manual batch did not succeed, but I'm happy that your machine batch met your expectations. I hope you also found it to be sort of "fun", as these things go! It's so easy and more cost effective to make your own yogurt. YAY!!! Breadmaking is another hobby of...

    Homemade Yogurt Machine recommendations?

    Nathalie, enjoy having one with a timer! That will make it even easier. I considered those, but could not find one that made one large serving with a timer, so I just went for the large one. It does present some limitations, though, as I do have to plan it out a little more so that I can be...

    Hi, Katie and Ladylep, I hope you are both doing OK. Renee, I'm thinking of you and sending you and your family much love and peace. Yesterday I did TA Hipcentric Day 8 and 30 minutes of Athletic Step. Today I was craving another Cathe fix and did KickMax...although I did not do the leg...

    Meal replacements anyone?

    RapidBreath, thanks for posting your recipe for this. I have not really turned to shakes for meal replacement or anything, but I can see your shake being a great way to stave off cravings for something sweet. I'll file this away for future cravings. ;)

    Hello Everyone, I did a search to see if I could figure out where/when the funeral for Ryan was being held, but I could not find anything posted yet. I'd like to send flowers. Here's what I did find, though, Obituary For: Ryan Chadrick Sizemore | Kornegay Funeral Home. I'll keep my eyes...
