Okay, I cleaned out under the kitchen sink - actually I was forced to as DH installed a new faucet THAT DOESN'T LEAK!! After 27 years of marriage, this is how we spend Valentine's - in the hardware store. Then I tackled the coat closet - but as I live in a 4 season state (sometimes all four...

Gayle that is a great idea about the hangers. I'll have to try that. I went through my sweaters a while ago and had about 6 that I couldn't remember wearing, but I just couldn't give away either. I have them in a pile in the front of my closet and I am going to wear one every day of this...

Shoot, I posted to Gayle's check-in first and didn't see this one until now! I'll repost here too if that's okay. You are all so inspirational. Ellie - I wish I had your ruthlessness when it came to clutter. When I had a smaller house - I got rid of everything that I didn't see an...

Wow Gayle - that is quite a list - I wish you well. I cleaned out the sock drawer today and separated the socks with navy on the left, black on the right and misc colors (2 brown, 3 khaki and a couple of striped socks) along with my workout socks in the middle. Now if I keep this up, I won't...

I agree. Plyo legs was the first disc I tried and the next day I was wishing there was a handicap rail in our bathroom at work.

Let us know how you like them after you receive them. If they make it a lot easier to get the discs in and out and are a nice quality, then I would like to get some too. Thanks for the link!

How about a ziploc sandwich bag? That's what I use.

I just made this using walnuts because they were in the cupboard. So good! Thanks!

Thank you for starting this check-in. Last week I cleaned out the refrigerator and pantry, but needed a little "kick in the pants" to keep going. Your post did that for me. I liked the goal of 100 items because I like challenges! So after going through the medicine cabinet, the cupboards...

You are so nice to your SO - since he plays softball, he probably enjoys watching baseball too. Since there are 9 players on a team, maybe you could get him tickets to see a local minor league or professional team?

Here is the recipe for ginger snaps that I have been using for 20 years. They are a little crisp on the edges and soft in the middle - perfect! They are soft because they use shortening instead of butter. I always bake them for the shorter amount of time listed, but do a test batch as your...

You are not a witch, it is the bride's decision although it is nice to ask if there is anything they would be uncomfortable wearing (e.g. one of DD's bridesmaids was pretty large chested and requested that the dress not be strapless). Good Luck!

Okay so now you made me count! 128 DVD's plus the p90x set plus the 2 preorders for KCM plus the new Powerstrikes that are tempting me terribly, plus the STS DVD's that are coming some day, plus the 24 in my trade drawer....whew!! Some people collect salt and pepper shakers - I collect...

I didn't get Gin's Kettlebell workout, but I did pre-order Gin's Medicine Ball workout from Collage. I am glad I got it from Collage, because I am returning it Monday. The cardio was really non-existent. She had you doing a minute or so of jumping jacks or marching in place or fast feet...

Thanks everyone for your input. Kathryn - I was afraid Erythritrol would be a problem. When I saw it on the news they never mentioned the Erythritrol. They just showed the stevia plants and talked about a new variety of stevia that had a better taste than the stevia currently on the market...

I saw a story on the news a few months about a new sweetner that was being developed by Cargill called Truvia. It is made from Stevia and Erythritol (a sugar alcohol from what I gather from their website: http://truvia.com/sweetener.html). I saw it at Hy-Vee today and bought a box of...

I just did this one a couple of weeks ago after having it languish on my shelf forever. My HRM said I burned 843 calories. The step is repetitive, but given that I do not do well with complicated step and also that I lose track of what I am doing as I tire, the step portion is about right for...

I would like an otter. A river otter - and a hill with a river in my backyard so I could watch him slide down the hill.

I noticed a definite improvement in my lower tummy when I cut back on the amount of milk I was drinking (2 glasses a day) and replaced it with a daily Greek yogurt and calcium citrate tablets. I almost never drink milk anymore, but I eat yogurt and almonds and some string cheese as well as my...

Thanks! Thank you for posting this. I did the day 2 Cardio Blast from Drill Max today. I had never done that premix before, but it was great! I had to pause between the repeats of Drill #5 (all those Forward Jumps and Forward Bounds really get my heart rate up) but otherwise it was great...
