    Hi Wendy and Heidi, Way to go on your workouts. You ladies are going hard and intense! Wendy - thanks for the advice about shorter workouts -- funny thing, that is what I have been doing and eventually maybe I can build up to longer times on some days if I can get up earlier. By the...

    Hi Wendy! You are right, I have to find a way to get the workouts done one way or another. I really need to stay mobile and active to keep the arthritis from progressing. I was just so exhausted last week there was no way I could give anything to a workout. I think I may need to take some...

    Giving Shakeology a try

    I have tried Visalus shakes. They taste good blended with fruit and almond milk and are affordable, but not made with whole food ingredients like Shakeology. Vi shakes contain sucralose, non gmo soy and whey proteins and processed ingredients which I try to stay away from. But not everyone...

    Giving Shakeology a try

    Thanks for advising that the new Tropical Strawberry is Vegan. I just checked out the ingredients, looks really good, and I am tempted, but the price is still too steep for me. I wish they would bring it down, then I would reconsider. :D

    Hi Ladies, Quick check in... I didn't do AB Monday, but last night instead. Hubby has Mondays off and he asked me to relax with him so looks like I will not be working out on Mondays going forward. My lower back was hurting so I skipped a few of the chapters with burpees and mountain...

    inflammatory effect in peanut butter

    Thanks for the info, Ladies. For the type of arthritis I have, peanuts are starchy and feed it so it kind of makes sense there is an inflammation connection. On a side note, I mostly use almond butter. But I have to say the natural peanut butter is yummy too. I buy the freshly ground...

    Giving Shakeology a try

    I loved the chocolate and all the supplements in the mix, but it was just too much per month and now I am moving away from whey to vegan sources for my smoothies.

    Lara bar recipes?

    Yum! Thx for sharing. I have been wanting some homemade Lara Bars where I can control the ingredients. And after reading about mold on peanuts I want to use almonds and cashews more.

    Hi Wendy & Heidi! My Grandma has been in ICU and I thought I was going to take a last minute trip up as one doctor said it was the end, but it turns out that one doctor was wrong and another said there is still hope for recovery so I will plan a trip up at some point, but not having to do it...

    Hi Wendy & Heidi! Great job on your BBL work and all the other extras you have added on top of it. After more thought, I decided that with all I have going on right now and a major project that needs my attention, I am going to stop the STS/LIS rotation and just do the Nov LIS rotation...

    Hi Wendy and Heidi! Heidi - that trail hike sounds fab. I would love to do that with my hubby one day when his schedule permits and he wants to :D. Wendy - how are you liking the BBL? You have done it before? Did you decide to do that to focus on the tush region, or just for some...
