    Chalene Johnson's Chalean Extreme Program

    Quick, fun, effective... Chalene Extreme is blowing my mind. Mind you, I have done allot of Cathe and love her. CE's compound moves are interesting. I am working hard, the time commitment is manageable and the fun factor is high:). I wish, however, that she would warm up a little longer...I...

    Where do you keep your dog when you are out?

    I have a crazy 2 year old Boxer who we adore! We don't feel comfortable leaving him inside for 8 hrs...We crate trained him from the time he was 10 weeks old, but he sleeps in his doggie bed now. So the crate is now outside under a covered patio with blankets and toys. By the way, I just...

    Hi Cindy! Funny, I ordered 1 gal of coconut oil last year from Mountainroseherbs and I am almost out...use it for night cream and my kids both love it on Ezekiel brand raisin bread instead of margarine. I guess, I could reorder my oil and some chia seeds too:) Thanks for chirping in!

    Babindy, yes Los Gatos is really nice and a bit too la-di-da for me. My DH left there after high school to pursue a degree in music a Fresno State and never left. His parents now live in The Villages in San Jose and kick themselves for selling their home in Los Gatos. :( I have lived in Clovis...

    I really need to try sprouts and spouting in general. Have you sprouted lentils? We really are fortunate to live here...I sometimes take it for granted. The older I get and the better my diet, the more grateful I become.

    Hi Suzanne! Kathryn is right on about massaging the kale with your hands..the warmth helps wilt it a bit. Babindy's your idea about Newmans sesame dressing sounds fantastic! I bet that would be good over Napa cabbage huh? I understant Napa cabbage is really high in calcium..i think.

    Hi there! Okay, so the Whole Foods trip never happened....my son had an orthodontist appointment that I neglected to put into my personal calendar. WF's in half hour away:(. Yes, I bet soaked pine nuts might suffice in place of white beans. So, my brother called me today (lives in Seattle) and...

    Hey Babindy, your smoothies look like mine...exept for the coconut water! I NEED to try some. My daughter is always raving about it. She has some after Bikram yoga and say it is better than any sports drink and yummy! I love, love, love a busy and thick GS for breakfast. The Green lemonade was...

    Love the way you think Kathryn...I have marinated kale w/olive oil, lemon, pepper and kalamata olives overnight...it was yum. I really like salt and this gave me a fix, plus it broke down the kale so that it was easier to digest. Maybe, raw or soaked pine nuts in place of canalenni beans???

    Hey there Babindy! Yep, the "waste management" is interesting....dunno, I'll have to think about that one. However, the green lemonade was good. I am a fan of salt scrubs in the shower. Going to find a brush and give it a whirl. Dr. Oz is doing another show on Oprah Tuesday and he mentions the...

    Good point Kathryn! I agree that it is easy to take a diet change like eating more raw foods to far too fast. The green smoothie is a quick and dirty way to add raw foods to a whole food/cooked diet. I really miss warm soups and stir fried veggies and my beloved garlicky white beans and kale. I...
