My parents live there. They live in Montgomery Hills (near Kings Island) which has the Kings school district. It is a nice area. For when you are there: Snooty Fox is a chain of consignment stores...must go there! Also love the ice cream at United Dairy Farmers (yes, they are gas...

One thing to remember about body fat: where you carry it determines your health risks. You can have a higher/normal body fat % and carry it in your hips/butt and you'll have less health risk than someone who carries it in their midsection (more fat near the heart). -Becky

This brings back delicious memories. My great aunt used to make this, but with mini marshmellows on top instead of pecans.

Lots of cardio with some butt and ab work worked in would be great!

I have never heard about eating fast food when sick. They do still preach chicken soup, crackers, and 7-up/sprite. :)

You know you are addicted to Cathe when... you are a 2nd year med student 2.5 months away from boards and you take time out of your study schedule to do a 60-90 minute workout daily. -Becky

Sorry it took me so long to reply. Life is crazy right now and I just found this thread. I agree with what has been said already. You probably aren't absorbing much. The only thing actually absorbed in the stomach (that I can think of now) is alcohol. Most of the rest is absorbed in the...

Good morning ladies. Today I did KM Bootcamp premix (50 min)...it was everything except the leg drills. I may do the leg drills later tonight. Gotta get back to the grindstone. Hope everyone has a great day! -Becky

Fat burning occurs at a lower heart rate range than really high intensity. That could be why you see better results with less intense workouts. IMAXes raise the heart rate above fat burning level. They are good for increasing cardiovascular fitness though. At a heart rate that is "fat...

This morning I did Legs and Glutes. I intend to do a segment of core max after class. Must get back to studying. Hope everyone has a great day! -Becky

My spring break was so wonderful. I ended up not posting since DH and I were having so much fun together. It was nice to be a wife again and not a crazed med student. Workouts: Thursday: I did 50 minutes on the treadmill, 24 of which I timed a quick 5K. I was proud of that time. Need to...

Seasonale is a brand of pill. You take it for around 3 months and then have 1 week placebo.

Good evening ladies. Today I did a 45 minute treadmill run. DH and I are doing a 5K on Saturday, so I am sort of prepping for that. Hope everyone had a great day! -Becky

I also wanted to mention Implanon...a 3 year injectible device. As soon as it is removed you are fertile again. A lot of the other products (including pills) don't allow for fertility directly after discontinuing their use. Implanon is different. -Becky

As a medical student and a BC user, I have some opinions. Honestly, there is no reason why not to use an IUD...as long as it is inserted properly. In fact, worldwide, it is the most common birth control method. It works simply by making the cervix inhospitable to sperm travel...kills em...

Hi ladies! This past week has been crazy. Last Wednesday I decided to go home to Pensacola. I had Thursday off from classes and DH was going to do a 1/2 day on Friday anyway to drive to Tallahassee so we could drive down to St. Pete together for a friend's wedding. Instead, he took the...

While I would never let a daughter listen to them, I personally like their song, "Buttons". It makes me feel sexy. After I take the national medical boards in June I plan on attempting to choreograph a strip tease to it to surprise DH. That would be nice to him seeing as though I'll be a...

omega 3 fatty acids (like what is in smart balance spreads and oils) is the major ingredient of fish oil. It is a good fat, one that our body doesn't make on its own. If you don't have enough in your diet already, it couldn't hurt. -Becky

I agree that before you start a supplement, you should have a blood panel done. Depending on your age (post-menopausal women have higher iron levels due to lack of menstruation) or genetic disorders (some people have a condition where they hold onto too much iron...hemochromatosis) you may not...

I am sorry you are having this set-back. I don't think it will affect your progress all that much though. Just do slow weight work. Slow and Heavy might be a good idea. I wouldn't do either of the Body Maxes (too quick) Remember that even after your stitches are taken out in 2 weeks, your...
