    Hi Clare! (Aren't you glad my thread is all about FITNESS ;)) I will most certainly be getting a textbook for reference. I just completed my PT course, but we were not supplied with the text, just a binder that the instructor had put together from all the overheads she was presenting...

    Eating before a workout

    Becky, I was just curious - why are you taking so many vitamins and supplements? Surely the diet you described could not be deficient in any nutrients? Corrie

    What are you most proud of?

    Definitely pikes on the stability ball. I feel like a super-hero :) The stronger my core is the stronger I feel. I must say though, that I am proud that I have made fitness a part of my daily life and have been able to be a good example for my two daughters (7 and 4 yo). Four years ago I...

    Protein Powder, Soy, and Cancer

    I use hemp protein powder exclusively. I was using whey, but I found that it did not agree with me, and I am now attempting to eat a vegan diet, mostly raw. I use Prairie Naturals Hemp-Force. It is non-gmo, organic and hexane free. It is cold milled, so I believe it is also raw (anyone...

    Meat Substitute ?

    Thank you SO MUCH for this heads up! I just bought a kilogram of almonds :(. I will be heading to the local health food store from now on. Kathryn, I was also wondering what type of dehydrator you have. I am going to need to get one as I am trying to eat raw more and more. Thanks! Corrie
