Partway through Day 5 and all's well. Well, I had a minor slip at the natural market - I ate a sample of ricemilk chocolate before I even thought about it. I'd be lying if I said I was sorry. On Sunday I had sprouted oat groats with dried apples and currants, raw almond milk and agave...

Hi Swayze! I checked out your blog...very motivating! I was also tempted to go crazy in honor of Halloween/pre-raw experiment! But I was too tired to go shopping for any delicious junk food, so I ended up being appallingly goody-goody and eating a lovely salad and a little smoothie for...

"I haven't read anything to lead me to believe that 'a lot of raw fooders' eat Ezekial bread, and I'd be interested to know where that impression comes from. In fact, raw fooders don't eat bread, except for specially made bread from raw sprouted grains that's been dehydrated rather than cooked."...

Hmmm... title for the group..."30-Day Raw Food Challenge"? "Raw for 30"? "A Month of Living Raw"? I also wanted to share some good on-line resources; you may have run across these already, but just in case: http://www.rawfreedomcommunity.info/forum/forum.php This is the link for the...

Hi again; Govtgirl, I agree that more variety would probably be better; the raw meals that I usually assemble include some sprouted grains or legumes and raw nuts or nut butters...although the author of "Diet for a Small Planet", who advocated protein complementing ("completing" the...

Hi! I'm game! I'm already vegan and have discovered that my local organic grocer stocks a lot of raw-food friendly items (raw agave nectar, raw nut butters, raw seeds, nuts, legumes, cacao nibs, etc). I already incorporate a lot of raw foods into my diet as is, but I'd like to join you in...

I really, really like Shiva Rea's Yoga Shakti. She has a feature called the Yoga Matrix that allows you to design your own yoga practice, which I love, and also three "premixed" routines to choose from. In all it ends up being hours and hours of yoga, which is why it's a little more expensive...

Hi everyone-- Thanks, P90Xers! I finally got my P90X box in the mail and I'm in the middle of my second week. After reading through all the material and previewing a few of the DVDs, I decided to get through the first phase (Phase I is essentially the same for Classic and Doubles...

I agree with the previous posters that if you really want a dog, you should find one that you can keep indoors (ie, non-shedding or "hypoallergenic") or else not get one at all. No dog wants to stay outside all the time. They are at greater risk for parasites, disease, and attack by wild...

Hi there; I was also interested in Freestyle and found a lot of threads in the forums by searching "freestyle training" or "freestyle methods". There is a book by George Snyder that has been in several editions, it's available at his website (http://www.gsnyderproductions.com/freestyle.htm)...

Hi! I just got P90X and I'm on Day 4, and it is SO MUCH FUN (at least, I think so). Challenging in a very different way than Cathe. The DVDs are good quality, and overall I think it seems like a good value - you get 12 workout DVDs for around $150. All of the DVDs are around an hour in...

Hi there! "CC" refers to Cardio Coach. These are MP3 files you can download at the Cardio Coach website (http://www.cardiocoach.com/) and play on your iPod or MP3 player of your choice. They consist of a guided workout with music. Basically, your "coach" talks you through a warm-up and...

Hi all; I've read a lot of posts about P90X, but I was skeptical of its value. Now, although I work out pretty much every day, I'm definitely stuck in an evil plateau and need to shake things up, so I finally decided to go ahead and order it. First, I'd like to vent: the shipping at...

RE: An introduction, and! Cardio Coach 6 - Just tried ... Hi all; Thanks for the welcome! I have Cardio Coach 6 with Candace- that was the one that I used yesterday. I looked up the Cardio Coach Press Play workouts and they look great! I'd definitely be interested in joining you all...

Hi all; First, I guess I've been lurking for awhile, and I've benefited hugely from everyone's honesty and hard-earned expertise -- so, thank you! I've noticed that people usually introduce themselves eventually. I think it's probably time. I'm 32, have been doing Cathe and a variety of...

Hi there; Not Cathe, but I recently ran across several threads in the forums about Freestyle training. Freestyle is touted as a women-specific weight training method that helps to lean out the lower body. Basically you reduce the weight you use, up the repetitions, and do LOTS of lunges...

This was one of the first Cathe DVDs I ever ordered and it is still my favorite. It always flies by and never seems to get old...or much easier! I also love Cardio & Weights. The C&W ab work is my favorite of all Cathe's ab workouts. I use this DVD all the time- it was a great buy (of...

*Sigh* I am already missing house-living. Enjoy your liberation from the neighbors and jump up and down as hard as you want! And thanks for the very neighborly advice! I thought the carpet might be enough of a muffler, but extra yoga mats are a good idea. D

Hello, everyone-- I just moved to a fourth-floor apartment and apparently, even when I'm trying to "step gently", my workouts disturb my downstairs neighbor. Has anyone else had this problem? Any suggestions for keeping the noise down? I don't want to have to tip-toe through iMax2. And...

My skin started breaking out when I was 14 and pretty much never stopped! So I know how frustrating this problem can be. When I was in my early 20s I went to a dermatologist and tried tetracycline (didn't agree with me) and retin-A (horrible red, dry skin...and still broke out!). I tried...
