    Jillian M. said "it's mostly clean diet" not workout length!

    Did anyone see Jillian Michaels on Jay Leno last night? Number one, she looked fab-yooo-lus, but then Jay asked her if she had to spend a lot of time in gym. She said (essentially): only about 3-4 hours a week in the gym....as long as I keep my diet clean that's enough. Of course, rght when...

    Movie theater etiquette

    My husband and I never thought in a million years that we would become those people that wait for the DVD instead of going to the movies, but we have. People are just so darn rude and noisy, the theatres are usually dirty, the popcorn has been sitting in the bin overnight....there's just...

    Timex Heart Rate Monitor - Calorie Burn

    Yup, seems high :( According to my GWF, I burn about 300 calories an hour doing a weight workout, or with a jog on the treadmill. The only way I've gotten 600 calories an hour is hard sprints alternated with jogging on the treadmill, and that was one tough hour, let me tell you! I have...

    Men are such silly, simple creatures!

    ...to create and watch a "reality" show solely of big-boobed women working out at a gym to a hiphop soundtrack. And that's all it is. I swear. It's called "Fitness Beauties" :p You have to see it to beleive it. My husband and I stumbled on the MAV channel (??) this morning, and our jaws...

    This was a recent topic but I just need to vent!

    Yup, it is darn-tootin' is rude. To give the benefit of the doubt, they may have just forgotten..it's easy to let things like that pass you by, especially during the Christmas season when so much is going on. The only thing to do is sit down with a list today (and maybe a glass of wine ;) ?)...

    Face Cream

    Ditto that. The only thing to get rid of those deep furrows is a combo of Botox and a filler, both of which only last a few months. My dermotoligst said that Botox can "teach" you to stop frowning so much, and maybe after a year or so you'll train yourself to stop furrowing your brows. For...

    Cordless Vaccuum Suggestion???

    I had 2 of the Swiffer vaccums and loved them, until, they just wouldn't stay powered. :mad: I had them less than a year each, and when I first bought them they'd stay on a good 15 minutes or more at full power, then they just pooped out, wouldn't hold a charge. Does the Hoover stay powered...

    Wow, being almost 50 doesn't stink after all!

    When I was in my 20's I would read about these women saying "oh, I am so much happier now that I'm 50...life if so much better" and I always thought "yeah, right." :rolleyes: What could possibly be good about being older with wrinkles and having your life half over? Well, I'm creeping right up...

    Is steady state cardio needed for heart health?

    ...if I do HIIT several times a week? I am asking about this for heart-health...not weight loss. I really prefer HIIT for cardio....the time just goes so much faster, I don't get bored, and I really feel like I've accomplished something at the end. I warmup for 5 minutes, then do sprints (1...

    Birds/birdfeeder question

    Wow, I had the answer and didn't know it! That's just how my birdfeeder is placed, and I've never had a bird fly into the window. One thing I do sometimes is spray the post with PAM. The squirrels jump up, and then s-l-i-i-i-i-i-i-d-e back down! It doesn't hurt them, and is hysterical to...

    Many M/C - Living Child free life

    ((I'm so sorry)) I'm 48, married, and childless....yes, happily. My situation is a bit different,...when I was younger I never thought I wanted kids. Then I got the urge in my late 20's, met a jerk who swore he wanted kids too, got married, then he admitted he lied, and never wanted kids at...

    TRICEP JIGGLE

    I don't know if I have an answer for you, but I'll let you know the results of an experiment I just started doing: 100 pushups a day.I never saw any results from tricep extensions in the past, so this is my last ditch effort to tone my arms! I can't do the pushups all at once of course...

    Oh My Goodness, Brittany Murphy, RIP!

    O...M....G. cardiac arrest, at 32?? How awful! She had been looking terribly thin lately...Of course, that may have nothing in the world to do with it, just an observation, but she didn't look "right". Gosh, how sad :(

    did malls really have to be open today?

    Boy, I get annoyed when people that live in areas that always get a lot of snow laugh at us! If this were Colorado (where I used to live) then the city would have the infrastructure ($$$) to support all the snow plows and people to clear streets at the drop of a hat. Yes, the streets would be...

    did malls really have to be open today?

    Well, yes it IS all about $$$, but I don't fault them for being open. We're in the middle of a recession, and this is the biggest shopping weekend before Christmas. Many retailers would go under if not for Christmas overall, and this weekend especially. By staying open, they are trying to make...

    Oh, The Weather Outside Is Frightful

    We've got about 15-20 inches in Fredericksburg Virginia! :eek: The drifts on my front porch are over 3 feet high. Too bad this didn't happen tomorrow, I'd love a snow day from work!

    Melissa, thank you for posting the Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars!! My mom used to make these when I was a kid, and the recipe has been long gone. I knew there was graham crackers and confectioners' sugar, so this is the one. YAY!
