    Eating healthy AND environmentally smart?

    I have been really fortunate in my life on this subject. When we lived out in Kansas our neighbors had a farm they grew produce on only and hired on people to help. My DH was their doc and they brought us free veggies and fruits for the 4 summers we lived there. They did not like most of...

    Gastroparesis

    I don't know much about gastroparesis, but I have had multiple gastric/duodenal ulcers. They can cause slow emptying of the stomach. I took reglan and it did nothing. I did better with nexium and carafate. I hope you feel better soon. I know you are probably scared so hang in there.

    DisneyWorld Question

    I went to Disney with a 2,3,4,6,7 year old kids (AND their parents LOL). The 7 y/o boy loved rollercoasters, the haunted mansion, epcot in general and the Mickey character breakfasts and lunches. The 6 y/o girl loved all of the above and all things "girly". I think that you can find something...

    Question about Disney World--Meal--Dining Plan

    We are deciding on this too. We are going to Disney in July. We went last May and purchased the Magic your way plus dining package. Pros-easy, you get a card and it tells you how many meals, counter meals and snacks you have, don't have to carry cash. It also seems very economical and you...

    Need some Flu recovery advice

    Take Gayle's advice(Gayle did you have the flu this year too?) I did and it took over a week to feel recovered. You need your immune system to fight off the virus and if you lower it with heavy exercise you will be worse off than before. if you must do something try stretching or a light...

    Calories vs Exercise

    I agree with Lori absolutely. It so varies for each person. I am 5'4 (just!) and when I eat clean the calories are around 1600/day. That will keep me about 116 with 1 hour cardio 6 times a week. However, that does not keep ME very happy. I do better with about 2300 calories a day and a...

    short shorts

    I agree with tneah(as always!) the mid length shorts are most attractive. I just spent the last 2 days at Fiesta Texas in San Antonio and Seaworld, I saw about every body type in about every type of shorts, and I decided that you should wear what ever you feel comfortable in. I bough a pair...

    A Cardio Mish-Mosh for the Ultra-Fit

    I think I just had a heart attack visualizing that work out Kristen. I thought the IMax 2 and butts and guts I had planned was tough! I thankfully don't have ctx so I can't do the first post either(hehe}( )

    Taking a break from Cathe-part 2

    I completely agree with you. My fitness has gone in reverse, but my body did need a break. I think that there is no replaceing Cathe. I think that Amy Bento's dvd's are good, but I only have one and can't do it everyday, I am patiently waiting for her 2 new ones. The TaeBo series is fun, but...

    Confessions of a Binge eater

    Just a thought, but happens to me all of the time. when I work out with weights only, by the end of the day I am ravenous. I can eat everything that passes my line of sight. In fact I gave up Cathe and all weight lifting for 6 weeks (I am on week 4 now) to see what would happen and the...

    Adoption pros and cons?

    I want to thank you all for the responses, and Liann I love the "home grown, hand picked". That is the best lighthearted explaination of the whole thing! Becca, your story sound like the road less traveled, kind of like what I expect we will go through. I am a RN and my husband is a MD and...

    Adoption pros and cons?

    We are beginning the process of adoption at my house. We have a 6y/o and a 3 y/o (4 next month)of our own. We have been trying to add to our family the old fashioned way with no avail. We have decided on adoption, but don't have a lot of experience with the process for the adoptive parents. I...

    Who HASN'T ordered STS?

    I haven't, I wish I could because it looks like a great challenge. I put on muscle in my lower half like no one's business and my upper body no matter how hard I train gains nothing. So I have learned to stay away from heavy training. I am having fun watching all the blog updates though and...

    Taking a break from Cathe-part 2

    This is week 3 of a 6 weeks cathe break. I replaced cathe with old taebo get ripped and live vol 1-12, and amy bento. I have to say that when i did the taebo videos 8-9 years ago they were much harder that they are now (thanks to cathe). I didn't care for amy bento the first few times I did...

    Speaking of tv shows

    I thought Cane was good (not sure of plot, spent my time just drooling over Jimmy Smits LOL). I didn't watch Big Shots, but we watched Jericho, because we lived in western Kansas about 20 miles from where the fictious Jericho would be for 4 years. I liked the first season, but this season has...
