When doing lateral raises, I have noticed that Cathe uses two positions. One is where she begins with her arms somewhat bent and in front of her body, then lifts to the side. The other is where she begins with her arms straighter and more at her sides then lifts. I am wondering if there are...

Well Miss Gayle, a six mile run? Intervals no less? You rock. You just plain rock. I envy anyone who runs well. It is just not my thing. I think you probably burned off any extra calorie you may have eaten last week. You are right, I need to carry some snacks. I will plan better for tomorrow!

Way to go, Jenn! You will feel even better after working out. I just finished GS Legs & Core Max and feel really good. Have a good day tomorrow!

I have pet insurance also- VPI. It's for bigger just-in-case problems. The regular vet bills are expensive. There's really no way around it :(

Evening all! Today was not so great for me. By seven tonight, I had only eaten a bowl of cereal and some cantaloupe. I was sooo hungry, so I had two cheese sandwiches for dinner. I know I didn’t eat enough yesterday, and this just sets me up for failure, so I really need to watch it. I’m not...

ALthough exercise will help reduce your risk of heart disease, nutrition is so important as well. Consider adopting a vegetarian diet or at least eliminating meat a few days a week to start. Do a quick search on Dr. Dean Ornish. He has been very successful in helping patients with heart problems...

I think I should look for some solid research on this; it's an interesting subject. For now, I’ll answer from my own experience. Exercise boosts your endorphins, which make you feel good immediately. I would say within a week, you will notice that you felt better on the days you exercised than...

They're great Debbie! Gotta love the laundry basket lol!!

I'm still doing the bent knee push ups, and they are a whole lot easier, but I am not ready for the full ones, at least not more than 2 or 3! How did you transition from one to the other?

RE: Jenn, The wagon is always here. It is the Hummer of wagons lol. I think it is just about trying to do the best you can and finding support when you didn't or couldn't. Bummer about the running incident! That would have creeped me out, too. Any indoor tracks around? Tomorrow will be...

RE: Way to go Gayle! Pat yourself on the back! I am impressed by your push ups! I'm still on the bent knee kind. I too find it easier to start at the beginning of a new week. What are Kashi Mighty Bites? They sound like a good snack! Talk to you tomorrow...

Everyday Cooking with Dean Ornish- vegetarian and fantastic. Breakfasts, dinners, desserts... Yum!

So...good evening everyone. How did you all do with eating today? I did pretty well. I am having a bowl of cereal now for dinner, and I plan to close the kitchen after that. When I was at ShopRite today, I totally wanted to buy something "bad," but I resisted. I told myself it wasn't worth the...

Just chiming in with a helloooo!

Hello, I've been taking Lexapro (10 mg 1/day) in combination with Wellbutrin (100 mg 2/day) for a little over three years and have never experienced negative side effects from either. Lexapro is one of the newer SSRIs and has lower reports of side effects than the others. However, it is all...

After the many replies to banslug's "Fell Off the Wagon" post, I'm wondering if anyone would like to start a nightly check in. It seems like most of us who fall do so at night. So, how about checking in before we go to bed to report the progress of the day?

I second NB, but do try a few pairs to see what you like best.

LOL I love it!

Let's do it- a making good or better choices check in! I'm game for that!

Using frozen blueberries is probably even better than using fresh ones! When I make blueberry muffins, I take the package from the freezer only a second before I stir them in. If you use fresh blueberries, the blue will bleed too much.
