    New purchases

    I don't have a high step or a barbell either (I just use my regular step that goes to 10", and dumbbells.) I'd suggest: SJP/Step Blast - great workouts in themselves, and so many great premixes! Muscle Max - a full body workout that uses 10" step, DBs & BB (but I just use DBs) and a...

    Taking a test tommorrow and scared to death

    Good luck! I'm sure you'll do great. Often, the fear and anticipation of an event is worse than the actual event (your test, in this case.) Just take deep breaths, believe in yourself, and kick some test butt!

    Where can I find flaxseed products?

    I found ground flaxseed in the health food section of my supermarket. You could also try a health food or supplement store like GNC.

    Upper Body mish-mosh using new series

    Good morning/afternoon all! I just got done w/ a cool mish-mosh for upper body using the new series. I didn't want to do heavy weights, but I did want to feel 'worked'. I did KPC (cardio conditioning premix & abs) previous to this. Equipment used: stability ball band light dumbbells (I...

    Lightweights speak up!

    I'm about 5'8" (w/ short legs :() and I use a 6" step! I messed up my knees years ago teaching 5+ step classes a week. I still get a great workout at 6", and it's much kinder to my knees. If I need more intensity I just do greater range of movement, more arms, add power, etc. And I don't...

    Exercise and chocolate/what a combo!!!!!

    Green & Black's Organic Dark Chocolate w/ Mint. It's fab! I'm not that much of a chocoholic, but I will really miss UK and European chocolate when we move back to the States. It really IS so much better over here!

    Circuit training DVDs

    I don't have a barbell set yet, and use dumbells (I have some fixed and one adjustable set.) I haven't had a problem modifying yet! :-) I really like circuit workouts. I don't have a High Step, but still do HSC (just modify the leg presses as in Muscle Max,) SJP, LIC, and DM. I also...

    Will you be...

    If there is snow at my uncle's I might go snowshoeing in the woods. Other than that, or a long walk before dinner, I don't think I'll be working out that day.

    OK, next Xmas question--what's your favorite song?

    Christmas is the Time to Say I Love You (Billy Squire--obscure but so pretty) I've got that on the "VH1: The Big 80s Christmas" CD. Lots of good stuff on that. I love "Christmas Wrapping" by the Waitresses. :D

    OK, next Xmas question--what's your favorite song?

    Too many to list! But a new fav Christmas CD is James Taylor's. It's awesome! Love the 'Very Special Christmas' CDs - 1 & 3 are best, IMO. And the Barenaked Ladies Christmas CD is another fav.

    Definitely depressed, not proud of it...

    I agree that Laurie has given you good advice. Please talk to your husband, and to your doctor. I went through a severe depression several years ago and was needlessly hard on myself thinking I could pull myself together and get over it on my own. I couldn't - I needed help. I talked to my doc...

    Cathe - AMEX

    Not Cathe, but I know that a lot of retailers don't accept AMEX because they charge the retailer a lot more per transaction than Visa and Mastercard do.

    Britney Spear's Opps....

    >Oops! Googled, and I saw more than I wanted too! LOL! Me too - I think I need to bleach my eyes! DH looked at them and said "Someone's back on the market, because she's visited the waxing fairy!" True. I mean, who does the full Hollywood unless they are expecting 'special guests' and/or...

Lots of stress, plus getting ready for the going away for the holidays (we'll be away for nearly 3 weeks,) days are getting very short here (sun sets by 4pm!) it's very grey and dull and I just want to sleep too! I've...

    Argh, the stress is getting to me! Help!

    Thanks for the advice. What's so frustrating is that he works for an American company (it's a global company, American based and owned,) the same company he's been with for over 11 years, and is trying to find a job w/in the same company, just a different area. So it's not like he's a complete...
