Hi Kassia! I am going home to eat ice cream right now!! Enjoy yours!! :D

Hi everyone! I finally quit smoking...again! I had quit for two years previously. Then, I had some REALLY stressful things happen all at once in my life and used it as an excuse to start smoking. :confused: However, now I've got my head set and I've quit again. I'm very moody the past...

Hi Fidget Queen! I'm not sure if this is the same as the neti pot you have, but I found this on the internet. Check it out! HTH! http://www.himalayaninstitute.org/NetiPot/NetiPotInstructions.aspx

Honestly, I have not been doing the extended stretch consistently. I do, however, do a very thorough stretch of the muscles I worked after each workout out my own - about 5 to 10 minutes depending on how much time I have. I love the extended stretch, but since I workout in the morning, my time...

I just have some general advice for you according to how we run our business. I think it's important to get the money up front. It's so easy to be lenient and then never get paid. Even with friends and family, sometimes people think it's easy not to pay you since you will understand. We've...

Thanks for everyone's advice!! I'm in the middle of meso 2 now, so I'll just up my weights for the remainder of the program! Well, at least this way I'll avoid being as sore as I would be from meso 1!! :p Shoot...I was half hoping you all would say "it's ok! Just take it easy on yourself!"...

When I follow the weights on my workout card for the leg workouts, I am unbelievably sore. I'm talking about the kind of sore where you dread having to go to the bathroom because it hurts so bad to sit down! :o If it were a couple days like this, I wouldn't worry about it so much, but at lasts...

Congrats ElleJay! ;) I forgot how many posts it takes to be a 'catheite' - does anyone remember. Anyway, I just wanted to ask a question. My fiance has a lot of back and joint pain. He's seen doctors regarding this, but they always tell him he has to get a different job. He's a...

I read in a book I have (it's called The Body Sculpting Bible for Women) that if you work out first thing in the morning, you should drink at least 16 oz of cold water before you start. I think they said you can go up to 32 oz (it's been a long time since I've read it, so don't go by that...

I guess my hobby would have to be reading - I know boring!! :p But when I get sucked in to a good book, I don't put it down for anything - even when I'm cooking! Other than that, I like to go camping or just be outside. However, I work full time and I go to school full time, so I only have...

I agree that I think it's a good idea to talk with your ortho first, just to get another opinion. Perhaps he/she can even give you an opinion or knows something if the chiro's reputation. Both my fiance and I have had good luck with chiropractors. I had mild pain - I'd say a 1 or 2 - in...

Hi Kara! It's nice to know there's someone near me! I live in Mandan - how do you like Fargo?

I've actually been battling this as well, but I've decided morning workouts are best for me. I am not a morning person at all, but if I don't get my butt out of bed, I don't do it at all that day! I always have good reasons why I don't have time to workout when I get home from work too! ;):p...

Well, I think I"m the only one sending a greeting from the flat, rolling prairies of central North Dakota! :)

I just want to say that I am SO with you on the counting calories/points thing. I lost 35 pounds and have proceeded to gain 25 of them back. :mad: However, I started with my calorie counting again because...well, why fix something if it isn't broken? :p I definitely focus on my calories, but...

I am completely with you!! Thank goodness there are people who do love that job - the world needs you!!

I work out the next day unless it's really bad. I always try to do some VERY light weight work on my sore muscles after I"m warmed up so that I can get the blood flowing in there again and stretch them out good. Otherwise, I get REALLY sore the following day!

Just wanted to throw in my two cents here! :p I have two dogs, one of which I adopted from the local humane society. He was a 4 to 6 year old pit bull mix when we got him. He is a wonderful dog, but he has his issues. When we first got him he had a lot of aggression issues - mostly other...

Thanks for the advice! I agree that reverse lunges aren't as hard on my knees. I think I know what you mean by knees buckling - and now that I think of it, I bet that's what I've been doing! I think I'll try going with no weights for a while too to give them a rest. Thanks again!!

Sometimes my knees really hurt after doing the leg workouts in meso 1. I think my form is good - I can see myself in the glass on my entertainment stand so I keep my eyes on that most of the time to make sure I have good form. However, with all those lunges, they just seem to tire out. Do you...
