    My skin - what happened?

    I was looking at that stuff at Target today and I really didn't know what to think. Like every brand has an entire battery of products to use but seriously, I don't think one brand is better than the other. I looked at a few L'Oreal products and most of them have demithicone - whoopee. So does...

    My skin - what happened?

    Thanks for the commiseration! November sounds great-I'll have my self-esteem call your self-esteem and we can do a crabby lunch. 'Cos it's not just my face-it's the way my whole body is changing. I've been exercising, but very half-heartedly. It's like I'm riding 'The Hell With It Train'. Eat...

    HIIT"s in early pregnancy

    Trying not to sound snotty, but why would you even risk it? Definitely keep exercising, sure, but there's so many other effective ways to exercise. Granted, I do know a woman who rode her horse until she couldn't fit in the saddle anymore. And I've never had a baby myself, so what do I know? :o

    My skin - what happened?

    I haven't done pilates. I work out by myself so I don't think I could do it.

    Summer Olympics and body image

    But I think the point is that any athlete can find themselves in this position and how the drive for a medal can throw you off course. The pressure to be the best is that strong. Jockeys are also infamous for their eating disorders (mostly bulimia). They call it 'flipping'. Jockeys are some...

    Summer Olympics and body image

    I often wonder how 'healthy' these little girls are. It is my understanding that eating disorders run rampant in the gymnastics world. I suppose I should get on google and find some articles. (I'm on my iPhone now.)

    My skin - what happened?

    They sure are! Nothing is better for the sitting trot than kettle bell swings, especially when working on lengthenings. That and an intense bra, no doubt. Plus, I think just being outside in the fresh air and open space is incredibly healthy for mind and body.

    My skin - what happened?

    Thank you for all the replies - and the commiserating! I am a breast cancer survivor, so my drs are very good about getting everything checked out about me. 'Unfortunately' I can't blame my weight issues on my thyroid. It's working within the 'normal' range. (I expect it's wrinkled too.) And...

    My skin - what happened?

    I put two scoops of ground flax seed in my kefir/fruit smoothie every morning! Anyway, I think it's too late in the game for any damage control anymore. Thank you for taking the time to reply. :-)

    My skin - what happened?

    But I already do all that stuff! Fruits (yum!) vegetables (yuck), water, I ride my horse 5x a week, exercise a few times a week (3-5), I'm active, etc. Tea, too (yummy!). But it's not just the skin on my face - it's my entire body! Thanks for replying. :)

    My skin - what happened?

    I am 45 years old. I wear sunscreen religiously. I'm trying to accept the wrinkles, the gravitational shift in my a$$, the jiggling that wasn't there before, the general weight-that-just-won't-budge of being a 40-something but what is going on with my skin? The texture is changing - it's like...

    Looking for Good Probiotic

    I make my own probiotic using kefir grains and 2% pasturized milk. I put it in fruit smoothies and it's also yummy to put in pancake mix instead of buttermilk. I've used the milk to make the Jello lowfat instant pudding mix. This wiki link will start you off. It's easy and yummy and safe...

    Info On New Workouts

    I signed up for the newsletter, but after July 9th. Is it too late to receive the newsletter containing this information? Thanks.

    wild birds sick!

    Sometimes it's really, really difficult to let Mother Nature play things out in her own way, you know? She is very cruel (in our minds anyway). My vet has a colony of feral cats behind their office and although they put out food, everyone in the office is under strict orders to not interfere...

    Resistance Tube, Athletic Training

    The Athletic Training workout appears to use a green resistance tube but in the 'shopcathe' area of the web there is only red (heavy), blue (medium), and purple (light). Which resisitance is being used in the workout? I checked the description of the workout but there is no mention of the...
