Yesterday, I went on a little shopping excursion. I was hoping to find a Trader Joe's grocery store, but somehow ended up at a mall instead. I just moved to the Bay area so I am somewhat directionally challenged. Anyhow, as I was window shopping my eyes fell upon Cathe! The Discovery Store...

Hey, it might not be completely from smoking, because I have noticed that I have a few lines around my mouth and I have never smoked, and I always wear spf 35 sunscreen because I am so paranoid about it. I think it's probably genetic as well, but I'm sure the environmental stressors speed up...

Wow! I just happened to see this as I was flipping through the channels last night, and I was just amazed at what this woman is doing to herself to win a contest that doesn't have much of a prize! It seems to me that she thinks she has no choice, except to keep trying to win. Evidently, she...

I always check out what people are wearing. Today, I happened to notice that quite a few college girls wear skin-tight pants. So tight that they are creeping up, which made me think of the thong thread (funny to put those two words together--seems redundant). So if they are wearing the thong...

I'm a big fan of the show too. I think that Loreli and Luke will eventually get married, but I am betting that there will be more than a few obstacles in their path. As for Rory...I think it was kind of strange how she ran to her Grandparents for help over going to Loreli. It's more like...

Wow! Just hearing how much everyone weighs makes me think I need to eat for all of you. So, in honor of all of you, I will eat a hot fudge sunday. I know, I know...I should be declared a saint for this. Just kidding, maybe chocolate chip cookies! Most of you have goal weights that are...

Here is an exerpt from a science book, written for children, on how microwaves work. "Inside your microwave is a device that sends out microwaves. They are set at a frequency that will affect water and fat molecules. They are the same microwaves we use to send long distance phone calls...

I have a couple of Patrick's step videos and I attended one of his master classes at a conference a long time ago. He has (or well, had) a lot of dancy choreography and intricate footwork for step workouts, which I really liked but perhaps could be frustrating for others. I have not tried his...

Hi, Spaz here again, okay so i looked at the step reebok step heights on the internet since I don't have a ruler handy, and I discovered that the heights vary from 6",8" and 10". So I did do the workout at 8" ( I think). My goodness--all this effort. I'm tired, and now I am going to take a...

Oh my! You know what--I stand corrected--I only did mine at a 6 inch height--I think! Ooops! I think that would be the equivalent of 2 risers on each side. I have one of those Step Reebok steps that connects like Legos, and I do it at the middle height not the highest, but I don't have a...

I just tried the Imax 3 with the 8 inch step. It wasn't too bad. I definitely had moments where I was breathing heavily, but it was do-able. The blasts that I had a little trouble with were: 1) the first one where you have to do the hop up with both feet exit side. I just modified it to...

That's a good question! I have been running, well...jogging for a number of years and when I feel really speedy, the best I can do is just under a 10 minute pace. So I hope the experienced runners give you some good tips. I have to add that I do think that cross-training with the Cathe...

Mine is 11-24-67, Sagittarius, but I have to confess that when I was younger since my birthday was just after the Sag. deadline of Nov. 22nd (I think) I would look at the Scorpio horoscopes to see which one I liked better. Is that fair? Keli

You guys are so smart! Thanks for the good advice. You motivated me so much that I threw out the Oreos and went for a nice long morning jog. Reflection approaching... I sometimes lose perspective that it's only one day, perhaps out of fear that the one day will turn into a week, a...

Having just gotten back from an overseas trip, my days and nights are a little turned around and my appetite is out of control. I had a major binge day of m&m's (nearly a whole bag), other chocolates and trail mix between healthy salads. I did manage to workout, but I feel like such a slug for...

Hi all! I remember when Christian Bale was bulking up to play the lead in the movie American Psycho that his trainer was Scott Cole. Scott Cole is pretty big in the fitness business and has a lot of videos. He seems to specialize in yoga and tai chi, but I think he can do just about anything...

Thanks everyone for all of your excellent advice! I appreciate it!

Hey, I was jogging today, doing my normal 4 mile jog, when I was about 2/3 of the way through I just didn't have the energy to finish so I walked. I had a breakfast before with my high fiber cereal and I drank some sips of water beforehand as well, but other than the temperature which was about...

Well, I bought a Jane Fonda tape for my sister on her birthday, and then I would borrow it. She did a chicken move where she placed her hands behind her back and kind of fluttered them while moving in a circle. Great choreography Jane! Then I graduated to the Keli Roberts/ Cher tape. I loved...

Yippee! That sounds awesome! I love to shop! And surfer dudes sound fun too (wink, wink!)! Wow! Thanks you guys! I needed a good boost and your posts definitely gave it! Keli!
