Is there a doctor near you who does the Essure procedure? I'm hoping to have this done in the next year or so. Permanent, non-hormonal, and you can be in & out in an hour, very little need for recovery time...

Oooh, pie. I found a great pie recipe and tried it out last summer. It was AWESOME. I posted the recipe and photos on my blog, here. Now I must warn you, it is a vegan pie. But PLEASE do not let that prejudice you! This pie is ultra-decadent and nobody will notice or care. They will be too...

Hmm. Were they small pieces of nerf ball, or a big chunk of Nerf? I wonder if that could be causing problems for the poor guy. Is it possible that he ate something outside, or sneaked some little scrap outside that might be disagreeing with him? My dogs are experts at nabbing little bits of...

I'm involved in a love affair with circuit workouts right now, and I have recently purchased and enjoyed: LaloFit - very cute Peruvian Lalo Fuentes takes you through several tough circuits with light weights, cardio bursts, and bodyweight exercises. Lots of good shoulder & core work. He also...

Hi there: This has happened occasionally with my two (now almost 11-year-old) dogs from time to time. Here are some things that seem to be related: A change in their diet - not just their regular food, but also treats, chewies, and other "extras" Stress Illness Reaction to shots...

Hi Clarissa: Congratulations for taking the first big step towards graduate education! I took the GRE in 1998-ish-ness and I know it's not comparable to the modern test, which is computer-based and, from what I hear, stressful and challenging. But I have students who have taken the test...

Ummm...yeah! Please share!

Hi there: I agree with the previous poster, that knee problems can be avoided with proper training. Also, I have heard repeatedly about studies that show that exercisers are LESS likely to develop knee problems than their sedentary counterparts --here's one such reference: That being...

LauraMax, sometimes I feel like you & I are the boosters for StrikeZone fanclub :D. I really, really like that workout. I also really liked Circuit Zone and Core Blast.

Thanks! I preordered! I like Tracey's workouts. According to my heart rate monitor, they torch calories like crazy, and they suit my short attention span. Huzzah! I also really liked Josef on SZ. Yum.

Link please? I loved Strike Zone and Circuit Zone, and I want want want this, but I can't figure out where you all preordered? Little help? I have been hoping a preorder opportunity would pop up!

I found that even though the leg work was light, the fact that you work legs with your upper body, then do high-rep low-weight leg work during the cardio & endurance workouts, pretty much equates to a freestyle-type workout for the lower body throughout the whole CLX program. All the squats...

No, don't do it! I agree that when I've seen it on people, it looks distractingly bizarre and not-so-good. But that's beside the point. it sounds like you're on the right track, thinking of your students - if you are willing to have surgery or have stuff injected into your face to "correct" a...

Don't you have to eat chips and salsa with the margarita in order for it to work? I could've sworn I read that somewhere.

Looking at that picture, it appears that Lorraine might be able to jump over her own head. Un. Believable. Hope those workouts come with a free bucket.

Pumpkin has always been the pie for me. I just made this one, and it was pretty dang good.

It's only been about six weeks, but no, not really - I'm pretty steady, actually. I might have been having a little extra aggro a couple days before my period, but that happened occasionally on the pill as well.

Um. Subtle. Anyway, in response to the actual topic, I have noticed significant differences in my body off the pill. Fewer cravings, 2 inches vanished from my hips, I have more energy during workouts and my strength has been improving much more quickly. I just went off the pill after about 14...

Your hair in your avatar photo does look super-cute, BTW. :) My hair is very dark and very short, and it's also very resilient! If I end up with a color I don't really like, it's not usually too noticeable. I'm extremely choosy about who CUTS my hair, though - there's a fine line between an...

Pretty much the same routine for me! Out of bed a little before 4am, have some water and coffee, start workout by 4:30 or so, walk the dogs as my "cooldown," then shower, breakfast, and on the road before 6:30. My afternoons are too unpredictable - the only way I can be sure to get it done is to...
