You know, I think I'm coming around to kettlebells. I think I was allowing my annoyance at the idea that a person has to be 'certified' in kettlebells to teach them sway me away from trying/teaching them. They appear to be very versatile and fun. I may have to give them a try - after I pay off...

Me, me!! :) There are quite a few of us here. I can't think of any recipes off the top of my head but I do recommend vegweb.com. It's a great site that usually has reviews of the recipes listed (people add their own recipes - more of a community type website). I know my sister loves lots of...

Pancakes. 'Nuff said. :) Carolyn

Fun thread! Non-fitness rave: Simply Shabby Chic sheets from Target. They're so comfy and they stay cool during the summer. I've replaced EVERY sheet set I had with them. Fitness rave: workout skirts! I'm actually wearing a skirt from Athleta right now. Pan: my old puzzle mats! I've...

So I'm thumbing through my new VegNews magazine and noticed that they've included this soda in their 'summer fun guide' section. The soda is called Steaz (made with teas - mostly, if not all green tea). They use organic ingredients and even make a diet version. The diet version still uses...

I finished a while ago and let me just say...Double WOW! What a fun, fun workout. I did it on the elliptical and once again the time FLEW. Amy couldn't join us today so I recruited DH. He did Vol. 8 for the first time (and the first time doing an all elliptical workout might I add!) and we had a...

>Now I see them! > >Both suits are very cool. I definitely think you should get >both. }( YAY!! Thanks Gayle! I actually do have the first one - with a different fabric. I think I may get the 2nd but it's a little pricey. Oh, and I loved the VS suit you got. So cute and sporty! :) C

Hmmmm, I can see them. I wonder what the problem is. Can you see the URL? This is the first time I've attempted to post any pics so I probably screwed it up somehow... C

I have 2 good ones right now - one bikini and one one piece. The one piece is nothing short of AMAZING. I ordered it from Esther Williams (famous swimsuit model from the '50's) and it is just the most flattering thing I've EVER worn. It's true to size (meaning an 8 is REALLY an 8). See below...

I'm in! Can't wait to try this one (thanks again Michele!)!! :) Carolyn

Another ACE certified personal trainer and group instructor. I'm *trying* to study so I can get my CSCS. Carolyn

THANK YOU ladies!! :) Susan - I'll check out that website. I do *want* to love my hair. Sometimes it's just well, difficult. LOL! Pebblesus - you've given a LOT of good advice. I'll try your trick with the hot iron - I've never heard of that one. And I like the braid idea. Since I no...

Hey Laura! I lived in Carpentersville, Il (for 2 years) and went to school at St. Edwards in Elgin ('91). I graduated from Millikin University in '95 (in Decatur, Il) and actually attended ISU for around a year for some grad/additional undergrad stuff while I was living in the Bloomington/Normal...

I've noticed that there are quite a few knowledgeable curly haired women here and I thought I'd direct my question at them (or anyone who knows, really). Here's the deal: I have really long (down to the mid back), curly hair with long layers. When I wear it curly (after diffusing it) it's...

I agree with the others. Go back to him. Who knows, you may end up being great friends in the end. Carolyn

Thanks for letting us know, Lori. And please let us know if and when you are able to accept donations. I'd love to contribute to such a good cause! :) Carolyn

Well, I just tried to call and make a donation but I don't think they can hear me over my Skype. :( The lady who is answering the phone must think she's being pranked because I tried to call 3 times in a row. Oh well. It looks like I'll have to send a check. Carolyn

It's a little late here in Germany but tomorrow I'll be sending a donation as well. It's often very hard for me to read posts about animal cruelty/deaths/etc but I'm glad I read this one. It's nice to know that there are so many generous people here as well. :) Carolyn
