    YAY for football Saturday!!! I have a non-related ? though.

    Hi Kim, My Dad drinks 1 tsp ACV in a big glass of water with a bit of honey. He's a triathlete and uses the mix in a sports bottle for during and after his training.

    I'm getting LASIK today!

    Well the surgery went great. The doctor checked me again this morning and I'm almost 20/15 in both eyes. No grittiness or dryness yet, just still a tad fuzzy. I keep telling my husband what a miracle this is - I'm sure he'll get sick of it by the end of the day. I'm SO happy. I didn't anticipate...

    I'm getting LASIK today!

    I'm so excited - this is something I've wanted to do for years. Anyone else had the surgery? What was your recovery time? And, most importantly, how long did you wait (if at all) to start working out?:p

    Periods

    Zozo, I just saw a Reproductive Endocrinologist today about my lack of periods. When I asked him flat out if he thought my exercising had anything to do with it, he said no. However, my OB told me to stop exercising altogether.:confused::confused::confused: I think seeing a dietitian is a...

    Need URGENT response, please (:

    Amanda, I would get the cheaper flight and leave earlier if I were you. You'll miss brunch but it's not like you'd be missing a workout!;)

    Daytona Road Trip

    I looked at it this way: going on a RT makes me SO happy. I work hard for my money and doing things that make me happy every once in awhile are warrented. And I agree with Catherine about the opportunity to spend more time with Cathe if less people go. Whether there are 60 or 160 people who go -...

    For those going to Daytona....

    Hi Iris, I too am SO excited! Since I live in Florida I'll be driving over on Friday morning and then leaving after the brunch on Sunday. If I didn't live here I would likely make it a longer trip...why not? And the weather is usually gorgeous in October here. I'm nervous about not knowing...

    Luteal Phase Defect?

    Thanks Susan for your support! I'm really hoping to share some good news very soon! Jen, it gives me some hope to hear that your luteal phases straightened themselves out on their own. I was wondering if my short phases were due to the birth control or not (like in your case), but I couldn't...

    Luteal Phase Defect?

    I have a suspicision that I have a LPD. After taking 3 months of birth control due to the complete absence of periods, I've had 2 cycles. Though it appears that I DO ovulate, I only had 7 and 9 day Luteal Phases before bleeding, and my post-ovulatory temps weren't that high. I've got an...

    I just started STS and I'm already exhausted! Help!

    Thanks everyone for the advice. I figured I'd have to lower my weights, but I'm stubborn and really wanted to stick to the program the way it was intended to be. I also didn't know if this fatigue was normal and if it would get better if I stuck it out with the heavier weights. One bonus though...

    I just started STS and I'm already exhausted! Help!

    So I started my first round of STS on Monday and I'm doing Cathe's cardio suggestions in between. On yesterday's workout (disc 2) I couldn't keep up with my 1 RM target weights by the end of the session and REALLY struggled to finish the reps. I feel like such a wimp!!! I guess my body is used...

    Cathe music from RT

    I was going to ask the same question!! Whenever I hear "I gotta feeling..." on the radio I smile and it takes me back to the classes. The mix on songs were so energizing and fun (of course, all that adrenaline could've had something to do with it too;)). Thank you so much for the opportunity...

    Good anti-aging skin care

    Yep, when I used Differin and Retin-A for my acne my skin looked so smooth. Now I can't use those products because we're trying to conceive, but I've used Alpha Hydrox 12% souffle for nearly 2 years and it's awesome for pores, fine lines, and acne too!

    Glucosamine/Chrondroitin

    I've personally had wonderful results with Swanson's Joint Care (with glucosamine, MSM, chondroitin). My dad recommended it to me due to my knee pain with step and leg work. He's a triathelete, marathoner, ect and never has joint pain. However, I've never tried another brand, so I have...

    TTC, ya'll still working it?

    Just checking in...I had an OB appointment a couple of days ago. She was happy that I gained 3 lbs and 3% BF since my last appt 4 months ago, but I'm still only 11% (though I'm still not convinced it's body fat since I've always been this size). She also gave me the name and # of a ferility...
