A friend of mine likes to put a spoonful of juice-sweetened pumpkin butter in her Fage 2%. She says it tastes like pumpkin pie. I tried it in my soy yogurt and it was yummy. Dee

I like Lorraine and Jai. My eye always drifts to Lorraine while I'm working out - especially when things get insanely hard and it just makes her laugh. I also catch Jai and Lorraine joking with each other sometimes - always cute. Dee

Hi there; Here are a couple of terrific websites to check out: www.veganyumyum.com http://theppk.com/ Both have lots of recipes and ideas. There are TONS of vegan resources on the web. Also, there are some great new cookbooks that have come out recently, including my favorites, "The...

RE: 12-Week Rotation Here's my gigantic ridiculous rotation. When I did the 4DS DVDs, I did the weights only first thing in the morning, and often substituted cardio. I've seen good results so far - I'm lifting weight that would've made me cry a few months ago. I designed this rotation to...

I've been doing a variation on a 4DS rotation that I invented, with extra cardio and other add-ins. I designed it as a 12 week rotation, and I just came to my first "transition week", in which I scheduled 2 total-body endurance weight workouts. So this morning, I did the Power Hour, and it...

Hi there; The best nutritional profile I've seen on yogurt is probably the Fage 0%; it's increasingly available at mainstream supermarkets, but is can usually be found at Whole Foods or Trader Joe's. The single-serve containers have 80 calories, 13 grams of protein, and something like 6...

I am examining the packaging of my deodorant stone. It is ridiculously called "AMAZING! THAI Crystal"! I ordered it from Pangaea (www.veganstore.com). Dee

I sweat like crazy during workouts! By the end my hair is soaked, my shirt and sportsbra are soaked, unless I'm running outside and it's 40 degrees or colder! (And even then, I still sweat just not as much). To me, there seems to be no point in wearing a/p-deodorant during workout. I'm...

RE: GRE (?) for Graduate Program & other ??? (sorry...l... Hi Patti; I can offer a little bit of information about the GRE; hope it's helpful to you! I teach several undergraduate courses and often have to field questions about the GRE from my students who are considering graduate school...

I'm really glad you asked this question - I've noticed the same thing! Whether it's cardio or weights, I can do the EXACT same workout in the afternoon and I burn way fewer calories. If I run my favorite 5-mile route in the morning, I burn about 450 calories. If I run the exact same route in...

I am hungry constantly (whether I lift, run, lift&run, do nothing, whatever), unless I eat a relatively high-fat breakfast. When I ate eggs, I found that 2 eggs for breakfast (with a piece of toast or veggie sausage or something) really kept me satisfied all the way to lunchtime. Now I eat...

Hi Jennifer, no, that's not normal, and you should take your dog back to the vet right away. He may be having an allergic reaction to the vaccine, in which case you and your vet need to discuss alternatives to that vaccine for the future; also, he needs treatment for any injury he may have...

I have also been voting for Linus, and I am confused by the photos that have the top ratings. Linus is super-cute, and I've always liked his swing picture! He also has the best story. Dee

Nobody ever believes me when I tell them this, but greyhounds can actually be very mellow, sweet-tempered and relatively easy to care for. I worked with a greyhound rescue for many years, and retired racing greyhounds are often a good choice for someone who wants a mellow companion who isn't...

I agree with previous posters that considering a cat may be better for you, and I think it's a good idea to go visit some cats. Some people are allergic to cats, but it is equally possible that your family may have dog allergies as well. Cats are LOWER maintenance but also need affection...

Kate, those banana muffins sound vaguely...like cake. I wish I knew someone who was having a birthday soon. Oh well... On to a slightly different type of enabling...I also ordered the Essentrics DVD! I think, in addition to being highly susceptible to cake, I am also very good at...

Thanks for posting this! I know I should bring my phone with me. But I never do. Women's athletic clothes are so stingy on pockets to start with, and I have 2 dogs taking up both hands. Then there are keys, dog biscuits, plastic bags, and an iPod taking up pockets, and as much as I'd like to...

I like stretching, and like some of you, I'm a recent convert to Classical Stretch. I suspect that Miranda Esmonde-White is a *little* crazy, but somehow,it works for me and I'm basically infatuated with Classical Stretch right now. I have the Athlete's Intense Stretch/Full Body DVD, which...

What a relief! I read that post and felt so terrible for you. I think that for pet owners, that's definitely high on the "worst nightmare" list. I thought about your story often and I was really pulling for you. I am just so happy to hear that he's home safe. He's a very lucky dog! Dee

Hi Christie: Here's a link to the whole list: http://www.cardiocoach.com/miva/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=CCPS&Category_Code=PRO Looking at the length and descriptions of the workouts for the first time,I wasn't sure they would really be challenging, either. The nice thing...
