I like the cat trick. Unfortunately, I think I have the only respectful cats in the world (they just wait patiently until I get up to feed them and my dog is the same way). They aren't so courteous around dinner time, though. As far as my sleep patterns, I really like them. I feel more...

I go to bed at 12am and wake up at 4:30am to work out. I make sure to move my alarm clock away from the bed so that I have to get out of bed to turn it off. Because I only get 4 1/2 hours of sleep at night, I take a 90 minute nap later in the day (usually late afternoon). If I don't, I just...

How old is the dog? I know you mentioned before that he is most attached to you. If he can be well taken care of at his previous home, it might be best to return him there. I know, it's hard. I have 4 animals, all my responsibility. I would never want to take them out of the comfort of...

Does he not want to buy the ring due to financial trouble? Honestly, I don't understand why a ring is expected. I think it's a silly tradition, especially when the couple is not comfortable financially. I always laugh at the jewelry commercials, with lines like, "Isn't she worth it?" I'm...

That's the problem with buying online, you have to send a lot of things back. It took me a month of ordering and returning bras until I found out my size (tried 34DD, then 32DD, then 34D, finally 32E)x( . I like figleaves because it has reviews which can be very helpful. I try to look for...

Wow, I had no idea that was how they made splenda! Thank you so much, and don't feel bad about expelling the information. It's important and many people, like me, just don't know about it. Thanks again! I just heard about stevia about a month ago (Rachel Ray's Inside Dish). My sister also...

I forgot, I definitely want to do P90X in the future, I'm just not sure if I'm ready for it yet.

I am just now rounding out the 3rd week of Cathe's Intermediate Rotation (March '07?). I did the step portion of step, jump, and pump today and then supersets. Before this, I did the Beginner Rotation (although I cut it short by about 3 weeks because it was just too easy. I usually lift a...

Their shipping is pretty crazy. I used to shop there until I recently discovered that I am a size 32E (Victoria Secret only goes to DD). Now I shop at figleaves.com or barenecessities.com. They have a very large variety of different brands and styles. My bras are very expensive, but that...

That's what I was afraid of, not enough protein. Maybe that would explain my inability to build muscle for the past few months? Where could I buy protein powder? Any brands to recommend? Yes, I used to eat an egg or two in the morning, but for some reason I just kind of stopped. I...

I am pretty happy with my body, except for my abdominals. However, I know I can only fix that with my eating. I have read a lot on the forum about people losing extra inches after doing a strength rotation. I have done a lot of cardio over the past one and a half years and it was...

This is typically what I eat on a daily basis, with a few changes here and there. 5:30am - coffee w/ 1 tsp fat free half and half and splenda 6am - Smoothie (1cup rice dream, banana, raspberries and blueberries) 9am - 100% whole wheat shredded wheat cereal with 1/2 cup milk, grapefruit w/...

I have one and a half weeks left of the Intermediate Rotation and I'm not sure what rotation to do next. This rotation has been pretty easy for me and I really want to work myself. I was thinking maybe a strength rotation? However, I have also been reading a lot on the forum about taking...

Since the topic is animal nutrition... I am just now moving my pets from canned and dry food to a raw food diet (I have one border collie and 3 adult cats). I researched doing this a few months ago, but was discouraged by all of the reports stating that it was too difficult and dangerous...

I have done a lot of research on this subject and have concluded that it is a great way to rev up your body. My sister actually did it about a month ago (for 2 straight weeks). She had a lot of energy and lost a lot of weight. Your right, it typically does make eating healthy much easier...

Susan makes a good point...many animals (including cats and dogs) eat meat. They would die if they were deprived of it. Humans however, do not need meat to survive and actually live much healthier lives without it (if there is an abundance of fruits and veggies, of course). It is not...

Off topic, but had to comment...Stayfit, are you a Labyrinth fan??? This is one of my all time favorite movies, as I have been watching it since I was young. David Bowie and Jennifer Connley, how can you go wrong!;-)

I never ask my fiance to take me places, pay for me, or anything like that. If we both decide to go out somewhere, but one of us does not have the cash, the other will almost always pay for the food. This is not because it is expected of the person with the money to pay, but because we enjoy...

Oh neat! I did the first one on the dvd last night. It was so relaxing, I actually fell asleep on the floor afterwards! I really like the instructor. She seems to really enjoy the stretches. The only problem I have so far is that she isn't always even on both sides (like on the leg lifts)...

Thanks for the help guys! No, I'm not at a computer all day. I'm probably using a computer between 30-60 mins a day, and most of that isn't spent typing. I had a computer job (data entry), but I opened my pet sitting business this summer (hooray!). I had the same kind of tension in my feet...
