    Finished my Marathon 3:41:25 (BQ!)

    Great story! I'm always amazed that people ENJOY these. Speaking of childbirth, I'd probably pee my pants running that long and far after having my little girl;). If you do Boston you should post about it here too!

    hate cutting onions

    How 'bout a Pampered Chef chopper? I have one and it keeps all of the vapors contained and makes chopping onions so quick.

    When I grow up....

    Growing up my mom was like Shayne's and did an hour every day; walking around the neighborhood, hiking the hills behind our house, whatever it happened to be that day, she exercised for an hour each weekday and took the weekends off (but usually we ended up doing something active as a family...

    Me too, me too! I also plan to run more this summer and would LOVE a Cathe/run combo!

    help for achy joints...

    Hmm, thanks ladies. I'll keep up with my glucosamine/condroitin I think and add at least the omegas since they'll be good for me regardless. When I used to run I would replace my shoes every 300ish miles. How often should I replace my indoor workout shoes? I thought I had good enough support but...

    help for achy joints...

    I know I've seen many threads about this but haven't done a search yet to find them. My issue is that after ANY type of workout my knees and hips feel like I'm ninety years old! I've been experimenting with lower impact, no running, shallower squats, you name it. I also take a...

    Question for moms with little kids

    Thanks for the thoughts. I definitely don't want to be a leach on society, especially with the way things are right now as mentioned! Maybe I should ask another question; as Melissa mentioned, child care is so expensive. It wouldn't be responsible to quit and rely on others so I will for sure...

    Question for moms with little kids

    When your kids were young, did you stay home with them even if it meant recieving gov. assistance? I know, what a weird question... The reason being is, DH is going back to school and I've yet to go back to work full time. My little girl just turned one a week ago, and ever since my maternity...

    ParaGuard or Mirena IUD?

    I used the Mirena before we had our first baby and again after deciding to have her. I love the light almost absent periods, not having to take the pill and pay for refills, the hormones are easier on me than when on the pill, the Ron Popeil mentality-"set it and forget it" has been so great...

    Need to vent -(long and petty)

    I worry about my little girl too for the same reason. Heck, I worry for MYSELF for the same reason! Even in my own family there is conflicting information and widely different body types. I am like you and need to watch what kind of food I put in my mouth for every snack an meal. My youngest...

    whey vs. milk, concentrate vs. isolate?

    proteins, hmmm... I can't decide what I want my next protein powder or shake to be. I've read conflicting benefits of each source; do y'all have a strong preference of what source your protein powder comes from?

    Numb fingers

    Do you get burning and the pins-and-needles feeling with it? I have a pinched nerve in my neck and certain positions bring numbness on along with that nasty burn that goes all the way down my arm. If it doesn't go away soon maybe talk to a doctor? I've been prescribed muscle relaxers and...

    green smoothie recipes

    ok, note to self- no grapefruit! I definitely will use lots of baby spinach though, I seem to do well with the "green-ness" of it. and collard greens, sounds gross but I'll give em a try since I don't want to start out with anything too bitter for me to handle. Ooh and I like the tip of...

    green smoothie recipes

    I haven't done a search yet, sorry if this is repetative. Anyway, I've printed all of Kathryn's recipes from her blog but I'm still a little scared to make my own up; I'm afraid I'll make something too yucky to drink and have wasted my ingredients. I'd love to see other's recipes though! and...

    If you ever want to lose weight......

    It DOES get easier. I work for an orthodontist and had braces later too. I didn't have to have any teeth out however; I'm sure that is contributing more than you expected. We tell patients to chew gum right after adjustments and have had comments that it really does help. The first time is so...

    bent over rows

    Good idea to use the opposite hand AND knee for support. Duh, why haven't I been doing that already!?

    Having anxiety about a big change in my life!

    Oh my, I have been struggling with this issue myself! I DID go back to work; and I do enjoy it, but still find myself wondering if it's really making me more money as mentioned with child-care and gas for the 30 minute commute every day. Good luck on your decision and let us know how it works out!
