    "Imax Friday" November

    Yes, we are! Will you please stop copying me???? LOL Did you try the stretch that I posted about dropping your foot off the step? That has helped me SO much. I haven't had a twinge of pain in over a week and happily ran 5 miles this morning!!! Now I just hope it NEVER comes back! My toe...

    "Imax Friday" November

    I did it y'day, since I knew I'd be running this morning. I LOVED it!!! I haven't been doing any step for a while, first I had a broken toe in April, then an achilles injury. I was pleasantly surprised that IMAX 2 didn't feel too difficult?? Not as hard as I remembered it to be! I even...

    Cardio Coach vs. IFit - Kicking Myself

    Before CC, I could never stay on the elliptical for more than 30 min and I was dying of boredom!! I've done PP and Volume 5 both on the elliptical and LOVED it! I couldn't believe I was on the elliptical for over an hour! (thanks, Michele!) It was the only thing that kept me sane while off...

    Homemade Fage Greek-style yogurt...

    Yeah, I thought about that too. I would think the protein count would be higher, but not sure how to figure that? It still has around 12g protein for 1 cup of Dannon w/ 110 cals. I think it would drain out some of the carbs too, right? ;)

    Anyone have friends who workout?

    Oh yeah! I got into swimming last year for triathlons. My friend took some Master's swimming at IWU, but unfortunately it seems to be on Sunday mornings when I'm at church. I have looked into it, I swim at the Y where they don't offer it. But... the aquatics director gives me pointers and...

    Homemade Fage Greek-style yogurt...

    OK, so after getting hooked on Fage from you lovely ladies, I decided to try making it! I love Fage and Oikos Greek style yogurt, but don't love the $1.56- $1.79 price tag for a small 5.3oz carton. So... I made it using Dannon's Fat Free Plain Yogurt. Instead of typing it out, here's a similar...

    Hard Boiled Eggs

    Hahaha, that cracked me up!! Hard Boiled Loser. I boil mine a little longer, close to 20 min on a rolling boil just because I've made them before and I do not like them soft at ALL. Then rinse in cold water and put in the fridge.

    Anyone have friends who workout?

    Too funny, Dorothy! My running buddies and I say the same thing. I also swim laps and the other day I saw the aquatic director when I was leaving the Y for an appointment (actually did my hair & makeup before leaving) and he almost didn't recognize me. :eek: We're not too far away, maybe...
