War Eagle, Tracy! Glad you were not affected too badly, but I know you are surrounded by devastation... Just so you all know, someone has started a page on Facebook called "Toomers for Tuscaloosa." If you friend them, you can find out if/where there is a drop off site in your area. I have been...

I cannot believe the devastation caused by yesterday's tornados in Alabama. I used to live in Birmingham; I have many family members in Alabama (who thankfully are OK) and I went to college in Auburn, which is University of Alabama's big rival. Rivalries seem trivial today. The death toll from...

I'd try Cathe. You'd be surprised how easy it is to modify all of her workouts. You can go low impact. You can lighten your weights. You can do a timesaver premix and work up to the entire workout. She also has different levels of workouts. But I'd not limit myself to a beginner or intermediate...

Probably one of your best bets, then, would be to encourage local businesses to sponsor you guys or "adopt" you guys... or ask local restaurants to give proceeds from one night a month to you guys.

I love Rodney Yee and Shiva Rea is great too. I believe Cathe has a new yoga DVD coming out with her new low impact series too. Cannot WAIT! :)

I have CardioBarre, and I like the workout a lot, but I find the instructor super annoying and the music very cheesy. I'm definitely checking out Booty Barre! Thanks for the recommendation! Can't wait for Cathe's barre workout to come out!!!! :D

Never tried it,but I have the original YBB and really love it. It's A LOT easier than Cathe workouts. A LOT. So when I do them, I do them on my rest days. The original YBB series incorporate dance, ballet and yoga segments. If you get the Master set, tell us how you like it!

One of my first Cathe DVDs was Bootcamp/Muscle Endurance, and it remains one of my favorites. It has the best of both worlds... cardio and weights. I highly recommend it! Another one of my favorites that contains cardio and weights is Kick, Punch & Crunch/Legs & Glutes. You might also really...

So sorry you guys lost your funding! That's horrible! My kids' school always has had amazing PTO officers who plan really successful fund raisers. If you can get your school's PTO officers on board, it will make it a whole lot easier for you... Here's some ideas that we have done: • Get a...

It's a solid, and you have to melt it down to put it in things. I put it in pancake mixes; I melt a little in a saute pan and do stir fry with it. It's yummy, and it doesn't break down from heat.

I didn't realize that yoga bumped up your metabolism. I'm going to dust off my yoga DVDs!!! What kind of yoga is best in your opinion? I have some Rodney Yee and Shiva Rea, and I like them, but I never do them because I wind up doing cardio or weights instead thinking that yoga will be less...

I totally agree about circuses. I refuse to go or to take my boys to any circus that showcases animals. The book doesn't glorify animal cruelty in any way or use it as entertainment. After reading it, I still am resolved (probably more strongly than ever) to never go to a circus that showcases...

I read it and I didn't know if I would like it at first, but it sucked me into it and I wound up really liking it. It's very well written.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Earth Day!!! :)

Congrats on your new addition!!! He sounds adorable! Post pictures!!! I also had the same problem with our rescue dog. I adopted her when I was covering a story on the local Humane shelter when I was a reporter before I got married... She was in a run with about five other dogs, and she was the...

Ah, to have a greenhouse! That would be so much fun!!! I'm jealous of you guys' vegetable gardens! I have been wanting to plant one, but haven't. I do love love love my herb garden, though... I planted it a few weeks ago... For some reason, the winter really destroyed it this year... Usually my...

Great thread, Debbie! I am thankful that God saw fit to bless me with the most amazing husband in the world, and if that wasn't enough, He blessed me with three little boys that I hope grow up to be just like their daddy. Two of the three are in elementary school, but my little 2 year old is...

I don't think you can compare CLX to STS. I don't have STS yet (because I don't have a barbell or room for one yet), and I'm sure it's amazing (as are all of Cathe's workouts), but I know it is completely different. CLX is very effective IF you use heavy weights. I mean you should be able to...

I love CLX. I did it after my third little boy was born and lost some weight but really gained muscle. I started doing it again last month but didn't stick to it because I didn't want to devote myself to a full rotation again yet. I like that the workouts are short... 30 to 45 minutes. I also...

Last year, on Good Friday, we took our boys on a hike in a local park that has beautiful, nice, long nature trails that we love. It was really spiritual to be spending that time with each other and God. We decided we'd make it a tradition to have a nice long hike on Good Friday every year. :) We...
