Laura, I just wanted to mention that you might want to get your cat's teeth cleaned if he/she is getting a little older. We recently had to have our sweet orange kitty put down because he got a tooth infection . We were unable to afford to have the tooth extracted (the price was almost...

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...

Thank you Clare - The illustrations are exactly what I am looking for! I will be getting this book for my own reference, but I need to find something that I can copy to hand out to clients. I'll keep surfing to see if I can find some free graphics.

I was hoping that any PTs out there could let me know of any good online resources. I am particularly interested in finding nice graphics that show how to perform different exercises so that I have handouts for clients. Thanks! Corrie

Children Learn What They Live by Dorothy Law Neite If a child lives with criticism, he learns to condemn. If a child lives with hostility, he learns to fight. If a child lives with ridicule, he learns to be shy. If a child learns to feel shame, he learns to feel guilty. If a...

Hi Gayle I too am on a quest to reduce the amount of sugar and wheat in my girl's (7 and 4) diet. I thought you might like to try this recipe my sister gave me that she found on the internet: Oat & Naner Drops 1 c oats (the recipe calls for quick, but I use large flake) 1 c ground...

Thanks for all that info Becky! I was not aware that selenium was helpful for thyroid function - I am hypothyroid, so I will look into this supplement. Corrie

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

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...

I'm a knitter, but not a very good one, so I have found some places on the net that I go to when I am stuck. Here are a couple of places where you can get help: http://www.knittinghelp.com/ http://www.ravelry.com/tour/getting-started I just discovered the Ravelry website yesterday...

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...

I love this recipe from Vegetarian Times - it is vegan. My kids (7 and 4) love it also. :D Cheery Chowder 1 Tbs vegetable oil 1/2 c finely chopped onion 1/3 c uncooked long-grain rice (I have used brown rice with good results) 4 cups vegetable stock 1/2 tsp dry mustard 1 c peeled...

I make my own shakes/smoothies right now. However, if I were to need a quick and easy meal replacement while I was away from home I would buy something from the Vega line: "About Vega Vega is a Complete Whole Food Health Optimizer, an all-in-one,natural, plant-based formula that provides...

I live in paradise - The Kootenays, British Columbia CANADA. British Columbia truly is the most beautiful place on earth (of course, I may be a little biased :D) http://www.kootenays-bc.com/images/castlegar_gc-1.jpg...

Hi Amanda, I hope you recover quickly! In the last month I have read the following books which I found to be very important for my health/fitness journey: The Thrive Diet, by Brendan Brazier (I want to get his most recent book too - "Thrive Fitness") Eat to Live, by Dr. Joel Fuhrman...

I'll try the cucumber cups too - my little one LOVES hummus with carrots, so maybe I'll be abe to get her to eat the cup too :)

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

Thank you so much! I just checked out The Vegan Lunchbox website and there are really good looking recipes. I will have to order the book and get some cookie cutters to make things look more fun for my girls.

Hi, I would like to know if anyone has any vegan recipes that their children love. I need to be getting more veggies into my girls and they are not impressed with salad (oh how I wish they were!). I do make lots of veggie soups and chilis that they like, but I would really like them to...

Peggy - I was going to write a post just like Kathryn's :) I never think about getting enough protein or combining things. I simply ensure that most of my food is fresh non-starchy vegetables and fruit. I also make sure that all my nuts and seeds are raw, and I will often soak them or...
