I read Master Your Metabolism this summer and she was adament against the use of stimulants, etc. It doesn't erase the true and excellent info in the book, but it does disappoint me to see her endorsing fat burners/ diet pills. :(

Reading Allure today...it had fun facts about haircuts in their Beauty by Numbers page.....John Edwards paid $1250 in 2004 for a haircut by Joseph Torrenueva!

I'm in! Sandra, I think your goals for this thread are excellent! It's exactly what I need! I have gotten all 3 books in the last week...BFFM, The Body Fat Solution, and The End of Overeating (audio book). I am going to spend the afternoon getting through the intro of each and deciding on a goal...

I personally can't find a cross trainer that I like. I've gone to Mizunos and Sauconys since I began running and can't get my feet to wear anything else! :p My Mizunos are motion control, but not very cushioned, inserts didn't help. I bought a pair of Saucony's which I can't run in because they...

I guess a good question is...where do you live? I'm outside Charlotte and salon prices are much higher here than in Michigan where I lived before. On the other hand, my sister lives in Orange County, CA and can't get a cut for much less than $100. So, to me over $200 for cut and color doesn't...

I've gone to coloring at home because the lady I go to (at home!) charges $100 for a cut and color. If I went in to her salon, it would easily be over $200. She is awesome and would be worth $200...she is a perfectionist and the best I've ever gone to, but I just can't spend that much money...

I am doing both. I started running in April and am up to long runs of 12 miles. I do 1 long run (10-12), one medium/long run (8-10), 1 medium (5-8) and one short (3-5) every week. INSANITY is tough after the long runs, but other than that it's working in fine. Of course, I'm only on my 2nd week...

Jennifer ~ way to go! :D I think those numbers are awesome! Good for you, for not being crazed over seeing an improvement in every number because I bet you were jumping higher and held form better on all of them! :D:D:D Keep up the excellent work!!!

No INSANITY so far this weekend. I woke up aching from head to toe yesterday...even my fingers and toes! :mad: So frustrated!!! My initial reaction was to get up and do all planned workouts and push through the pain. BUT my running partner gave me an early morning check in call and talked me...

Happy weekend ladies! 6 mile run/walk intervals today. Feeling a little beat up today. I think I'm going to make today my rest day from INSANITY instead of Sunday. Have a lot of housework to do so it's not like I'll be sitting on my butt the rest of the day! :p Be safe and have fun everyone...

You ladies are so sweet and encouraging! :o Thank you! :D I am amazed by all YOU! get accomplished. I'm so lucky right now (believe me, I DO realize how blessed I am!) to have the time to spend on me. And I'm extra lucky because my DH is VERY supportive of me focusing on me! :D:D:D Today I...

Note to self....DO NOT do P90X Chest & Back before CPR! :p I will say, with the exception of...*dear God, MORE push-ups!!!!* I really like CPR. And I am loving the countdown clock. After the warm-up, I know there is a good stretch and then WOW! Only 20 minutes of workout! I CAN do this! :D...

I would love to do a check in. Diet is my downfall. I won't lie and even pretend to be close to where I should be! I eat like a teen-ager still and I know better! I could easily weigh over 300 pounds except I must have the metabolism of a hummingbird and I LOVE to workout!!! If I don't get 2-3...

From all of us, I say *WELCOME*! :D The ladies on this check in are awesome and amazing! What day/week are you on? I am just starting after a couple weeks of physical therapy. The name really does fit, doesn't it?!?! :rolleyes: Becky

haahaaahaaahhaaaa! that INSANE laughter is coming from me for thinking I could do Plyo Circuit after a 10 mile run!!!!!! :p:p:p:p:p Who do I think I am?!?!? But, I DID push play and did my best. I confess there was VERY little *plyo* in the workout. I listened to Shawn repeatedly say focus on...

We've never had any money, so the pay cut we took this year didn't change much. We did downsize from renting a 3000 sq foot house (family of 7) to 1200 square feet. It's tight, but 2 just left for college so that helps. That's the only major change we've made this year. Oh and DH has always...

My dermatologist and I just had the moisturizer or not for oily skin conversation. He says it is a myth that everyone needs a moisturizer. I almost NEVER ever use a moisturizer...maybe once a week in the winter. And I use Tazorac everyday. It has given me the best results I've ever had. He also...

tomorrow i can join you!!! yeah!!! A 5 mile walk/run/talk...it was a nice change of pace...literally! LOL! :D Trying to get myself motivated to do chores...NOT working so far! Have a wonderful Sunday! Becky

Sigh...more enabling....please stop!!! ;) LOL!!! I actually belong to an audio book of the month club and THE END OF OVEREATING was this month's download for me. Now, I can't wait to get started! I just finished printing and putting BFFM into a binder and THE BODY FAT SOLUTION is in the mail...

I see y'all are keeping up the INSANITY!!! Woo hoo!!! :D:D:D No INSANITY until Monday, but today was a 5k race. I was slow, 29:59 but I'm okay with that. I learned a lot of good things to use for future races! Off to ice the foot and stretch! Have a great weekend everyone!!! Becky
