    Short Upper Body Workouts

    So happy to have these recommendations -- thanks! I found another that is good. Max Intensity Strength has a 22-min UB workout. If you add the core, it's a gem. I took my two rowdy bird dogs for a long walk and then did this. Perfect! Keep the recommendations coming. I'd love to have a...

    Short Upper Body Workouts

    Today, I did the Time Saver 8 premix from the ICE Bootcamp DVD. It had a warm up, upper body mixed with abs, and a stretch. It came in about 30 minutes and was just right for a busy day. I'd love to know if anyone has any favorites that have upper body and are around 30 minutes. Any...

    Coffee Sensitivity

    I got to try cold brew coffee! I went to Starbucks at Target after church. They didn't have the Nitro Cold Brew, so I just got it with a bit of skim milk (like I usually drink regular coffee). I LOVED the flavor and the iced cold drink!!! I can't say if my mouth is less sore, however...

    Coffee Sensitivity

    Desertambrosia, I love your method of making cold brew. That's so less messy than all the ways I saw on Youtube that required multiple straining and, I can just picture it, coffee grounds everywhere!!! I'm going to put "nut milk bags" in my wish list on Amazon! Thanks for this. Excited to...

    new Step Boss

    Sorry if this has already been answered, but I was wondering when we can order the DVDs separately??? All I want is the PHA one -- not crazy about step workouts. Has this been announced?

    Coffee Sensitivity

    Hazlady and Lisa, I think I need a PhD in Chemistry to get all I need to know to just enjoy one cup of coffee a day! Gee, it's amazing all that goes into it and all the varieties. It is really complex! Thanks for clarifying that you can heat cold brew without raising the acid level. I agree...

    Coffee Sensitivity

    Lisa_la_machina, You said it -- coffee terminology IS confusing! I'm learning little by little. Do you ever heat cold brew up to make it hot brew with less acid? Wonder if that would work in the winter? Thanks for the recommendation of nitro cold brew. Does it have sugar or flavors? Thanks...

    Coffee Sensitivity

    So "iced coffee" is the same as "cold brew?" Gosh you are really educating me! Thanks. I see on Amazon lots of choices. Some of them have sugar and flavors -- no thank you. I'll have to do some looking. There're also cold brew gadgets to make it easier to brew. Fun. First I've got to try...

    Coffee Sensitivity

    Hazlady, I'm interested in the cold brew idea. Thanks for that. I watched a DIY video on youtube. Do you know if they sell cups of it at Star Bucks or bottles of it in the grocery store? I might like to try it to see if it is better on my mouth before I go to the trouble and mess of making...

    Coffee Sensitivity

    So I was trying an experiment to see if it was the caffeine that was causing the sensitivity by cutting the caffeine in half with decaff. All I got was a continued sore mouth AND I was practically "comatose" in the late afternoon! So, I'm deciding it's not the caffeine. This next experiment...

    Coffee Sensitivity

    What great thoughts and information! I really appreciate all your ideas and efforts to help me figure this weird thing out. I decided I am going to try an experiment. This week, I'm going to try having half caffeinated/half decaff in my daily cup of coffee. I want to see if the caffeine is...

    Coffee Sensitivity

    Hazlady, you certainly gave this coffee newbie lots of information to consider. Thank you! I looked at the coffee package of the kind I drink, and it is 100% Arabic coffee (dark roast). I have always put skim milk in the coffee since I started drinking my one cup a day. I just decided to add...

    Coffee Sensitivity

    Wow, Lisa, those are great thoughts. The acidic content might be causing it, I guess. I don't drink OJ or soda at all but I'll certainly think about this. Wonder what to DO about it if this is the cause??? I only put skim milk in the coffee, and I eat other dairy products so I don't think...

    Coffee Sensitivity

    That's interesting, Desertambrosia. I was wondering if it was because I have been caffeine free most of my life (except for chocolate, of course). Was thinking it might be that I just have to get used to it or something, but it hasn't happened to you so that's out. Hmmmmm. Thanks for the...

    Coffee Sensitivity

    Thanks, 1nortell. Truly, it's not debilitating -- just annoying. I asked my doctor, and he checked me for thrush!! Certainly not that. Anyone else have any experience/ideas?

    Coffee Sensitivity

    I read the wonderful article on coffee in the newsletter. Made me think that maybe someone here would know about a weird problem I'm having with coffee. I never drank coffee until last year. Then I thought it would be nice to have a "pick me up" after lunch. It works great for that! My...

    Botox/Juviderm or Mini Lift
