    feel fit wear distracting

    Ditto. Nothing motivates me more to get to the gym than looking forward to putting on a cute workout outfit. Well OK, an entire box of ice cream sandwiches the night before might be more motivating, but that's about it. ;) I wore a skort for the first time this w/e. I've been resisting them...

    WATER???

    I have a Brita jug that I use to make ice cubes, but I actually drink aloe water for the most part. It's supposed to have all kinds of health & anti-aging benefits. And I have to say, since I started drinking it I have def. noticed healthier hair & skin. It is expensive, but for me it's...

    feel fit wear distracting

    Oh the good old days--I actually had one of those thong bodysuits kind of like what Cathe wore in PowerMax. Pair it w/some scrunchy socks & a headband & you are good to go! :D Funny, I buy very expensive workout clothes, & buy my work clothes at Old Navy. Guess you can see where my priorities...

    feel fit wear distracting

    I adore capris. I like the boot cut & the slim cut. I find them to be very flattering & comfortable, & a nice alternative to shorts, which I refuse to wear at my age. I have my mother's legs & I don't like showing them. Plus I go to a gym & prefer to not have my skin touching the equipment...

    KB recs?

    Chalene's DVDs are some of those I got rid of. I barely broke a sweat w/her. I don't think my HR went over 110. :( I do have kettlebells but I've gotten rid of most of those too. For some reason I just couldn't get into the kettlebell thing. Are these circuit workouts or true cardio? I'm...

    working out at home vs gym

    I think much of this depends on your goals & your bodytype. I am very, very petite & have a tough time putting on muscle. I would never be able to do it w/Cathe's workouts. She could keep me toned, but I need the machines, racks & very heavy weights at the gym to really put on muscle. OTOH...

    joint supplements?

    Deb, is that the stuff that promises smaller, easier to swallow pills? I have such a hard time finding glucosamine that wouldn't choke a horse......I saw it in the Harmon, very expensive but might be worth it if I can make it through the morning without gagging.......... I also take MSM...

    Has anyone gotten eyeliner tattoo?

    I think I already have that brush LOL. Or it might be a MAC brush. Same thing though. I think after the tattoo I might be able to play around a little more w/eye makeup & colors. I'm glad you're off the extensions. The Latisse will help a lot, believe me. And you can always go for falsies...

    KB recs?

    I am really a step lover, but it irritates that %#*&^%( bunion so much I need to take some extended breaks from it. I have all of Cathe's, Amy's & Tracey's KB. Oh, & also Kimberly Spreen's body combat DVDs. I used to have other KB DVDs but got rid of them b/c they just weren't challenging...

    1st cathe workout tape

    PowerMax in 1997. The VHS, of course, from Collage, back in the day when you actually had to pick up the phone to order something. :D I brought it w/me on my first RT in 2005 for her to autograph. :)

    Has anyone gotten eyeliner tattoo?

    Oh believe me, I've tried all liners. If you do a search you'll see I actually posted a request for some recs a few years ago when my lids first started drooping. The liquid is actually pretty good, but my hand isn't steady enough, plus what do you do while it dries? You have to kind of sit...

    Has anyone gotten eyeliner tattoo?

    Thank you Juice! Going today. Excited! :D I've asked around & gotten mixed responses re. the tip, so I'm just gonna leave 10% for my own piece of mind. I suspect b/c it's a doc's office & b/c of the cost of the procedure most probably do not tip, but I figured I'd split the difference just...

    Has anyone gotten eyeliner tattoo?

    Well, I have decided to go for it. My appt is this Thurs afternoon & I'm very excited about it. The way it works is, she'll do the first application Thurs, then I need to go back 6-8 weeks after for a touch up. That's it for at least 2 years. It will be so nice to not have to mess w/this...

    False Eyelashes

    I've been wondering whether Allergan will be making it for hair growth on the actual head. I even emailed them asking them about it but got what was essentially a non-response. I mean, if it works this well on lashes, can you imagine what it might do for hair??????? BTW, when you start on...

    False Eyelashes

    I just let them fall off on their own. I figured w/all the damage they were best left alone. BTW, I found them very uncomfortable. Do you? Like, when I'm lying in bed on my side, they felt weird pressing into the pillow. I gotta say, it was a huge relief when they were all gone.

    False Eyelashes

    Yes! :D Seriously, I will never go without this stuff again. It really is a wonderful product. And I'm a skeptic, so that means a lot. ;)

    Step 360--I think I must have!

    I've been using it mostly for the suspension training & I'm really loving it. I guess I could've used the bosu instead, but I like the size of this thing better, & the flat top. I guessI need to branch out & test it on other things. I might try some squats & lunges on it at the gym. That...

    False Eyelashes

    Get out! I haven't seen your pic for some time, but you look amazing! I think the Latisse takes about 6-8 weeks for you to really see a difference, but it is great, & it works on the lower lashes as well. I think my lower lashes are even longer than my upper LOL. I get it online, it's a...

    False Eyelashes

    I've been using Latisse for 3 years. My eyes are blue & the pigmentation has not changed at all. I asked several docs about it & they said it was a problem initially, but they've pretty much worked it out & it only happens in something like .001% of blue-eyed Latisse users. And if you notice...

    Gym Workout

    I put this together a few years ago for a friend. Maybe it'll help. It's changed a bit for me since, esp. the weights I use, but the routine itself has not changed significantly. P.S. Does not include cardio. :) All exercises below are done in 3 sets of 10. Usually when I can do 3 sets 10...
