    To Harry Potter fans...

    Shelley, It was too hot to do much else, so we talked about this for LONG time;-) And yeah, I don't think many authors sit and fanticize about parties surrounding the release of their books, largest production runs ever, blockbusters of every book in the series, hoopla, hype, and hullaboo...

    To Harry Potter fans...

    Okay, I read this the other night and had a long discussion with DH about it (yeah, that might be a little sad;-) Or cool, think about it}( ---we're both English teachers and DH actually had a student who had this idea a YEAR ago--way to be upstaged by a 11th grader Olberman! JK). Anyhoo...while...

    Summertime lethargy?

    A-Jock, Do you have adequate "fannage" in your workout room at home? For me this makes the difference between Imaxing and laying on the floor perspiring (okay, maybe that's sometimes the same two things:P ). Seriously, it's not just about overall temp. for me (i.e. air-conditioning), but I...

    walking lunges--cardio?

    Yes, if you can survive 20 minute of walking lunges:P In all seriousness, walking lunges always get my heartrate up and so they could probably be considered a sub for cardio in a pinch. The other option is to take a look at the blasts from LoMax and DrillMax and try to incorporate some of them...

    Blender suggestions please

    Great! You have an Oster, that means you can get the Blend-and-Go Cup. Trust me, it is so much easier to clean, lighter, and just makes a better smoothie than the regular blender. I also have a pretty classic Oster model and I always had trouble with "vacuum" pockets, the smoothie not being as...

    What's on your playlist?

    I just got a new 4GB for Sansa "Lil' Monsta'" for my b-day so it's a much longer list now:7 I'm also a bit, uh, shall we say "loose" with my music, if it gets me moving, I'll download it. Pearl Jam The Tragically Hip Queen Stone Temple Pilots Rufus Wainwright Martha Wainwright...

    Bad hair day stories

    When semipermanent haircolor became the "in" thing when I was in middle school I turned my hair normally dark brown hair a very interesting shade of burgundy---and then tried to deny that I'd done it to all my friends. "Oh no, it must be the light in here." "My hair turns a weird color in the...

    SS/PP---What Type of Workouts Would you Consider These?

    Yes, SS/PP are both total body endurance workouts and this is truly an underrated DVD, it has SO many killer options. HOWEVER, PP is structured in such a way that you can heavy up the weights quite a bit. For example, "one muscle group rests while the opposing one works." Especially if you...

    Blender suggestions please

    I'm taking the lazy way out and copying this from an earlier thread on a similar topic, but that doesn't mean I don't HEARTILY endorse this product. I'm just short on time today:P "I also didn't want to spend the money on a Magic Bullet, and I needed another appliance like a hole in the...

    Favorite "Fluffy" Reads For Summer!

    RE: Favorite Gayle, You love mysteries and you've never read Agatha Christie? I'm shocked! I'm horrified! I'm so jealous! LOL. I've read them all, a few times over, and I wish they could be all new and shiny:) Which one are you starting with? Have you read any Dorothy L. Sayers or Sherlock...

    Gym Style lower back exercises

    Hedlann, I think you could safely modify the first of these moves (where you lay on the step and raise our legs) by performing this in the hands and knees position, raising one straight or slightly bent leg and the opposite arm at the same time---making sure to really concentrate on using your...

    Fan in Your Workout Room

    I've had this fan ever since I started working out with Cathe and it is the only type I think I'll ever use. It is powerful (only the HOTTEST, most muggy day's have I ever used level 3), it is relatively small and light, it is sturdy, and pretty inexpensive. I can't recommend it enough. You can...

    B&G Stability Ball abs

    Ronne, I'm so glad that my tips worked for you:) I don't know if I should maybe be apologizing instead? For making you feel it }( I'm sure you'll continue to improve and the six pack is on its way. Have fun! Mattea

    I've decided to run

    Heather, Oooohh, you'll love the Cheetah check-in! When you have questions, and believe me, you'll have questions, they'll be right there for you. I used to have the time to check-in with that fab group of ladies, but, alas, I have fallen into honorary Cheetah-dom. Still running though. And...
