    So Frustrated!!

    When I went thru a stressful breakup many years ago I had no appetite. I tried to eat and couldn't. I lost 22 pounds in 3 weeks. I really did try eating and would put food in my mouth but would chew and chew and couldn't swallow much. A few months later I had gained back most of the weight...

    If I didn't have a reason to quit diet soda before.....

    When I was in college we got a case of bottled beer that had bottle caps in the unopened bottles. Each bottle cap was bent in half in the bottle. I know that my friend would always bend the cap and put it in the bottle when he was done with it so I knew how they got there...after the bottles...

    Anyone Else Just Adore the Autumn?

    It is my favorite season. I love the cooler temps, the colors, the onset of the Holiday season, the fact that the kids at school are still interested in school. I could go on and on.

    Really Oily skin

    Ok so after wearing moisturizer for two days my skin is considerably LESS oily. I even put it on my eyelids and my makeup didn't crease in there. I also only had to blot once during the day. I never would have believed this would be the case but I do think that with all of the acne meds and...

    Cathlete's Gettin' to Goal Week of August 30th

    Where is everyone? Hope everyone's weekend went well. I ate horrible all weekend. I was craving chicken wings and finally gave in and ate 9 of them. Then when I got up I was grossed out by the thought of them and won't eat them for at least another 6 months or more. I took the kids on a...

    Really Oily skin

    So I have been just using a clinique moisturizer that I have and rarely use. I put it on after my prescription acne medicine and I have noticed that my skin is a lot less oily as the day progresses. Who knew? I haven't worn makeup most of the summer and am going to go shopping for some today...

    Shock Cardio Request

    This is a silly request, but here goes... Lorraine always has straight hair in the videos (unless it is curly in STS, I don't know I don't have it yet, maybe for Christmas). She rehearses with it curly and always looks awesome. Can she just leave it that way? It is so beautiful why...

    Jumpsuits & rompers back in style????

    This one was one of my worst pairs of jeans. The front was gray and the back were black. Of course they had the zippers on the sides. I remember a girl at school filled them out nicely (i.e. hers were tight) and I was skinny and jealous. Did anyone "roll" their jeans? We used to do that...

    Jumpsuits & rompers back in style????

    The only people who should wear rompers are the under-four crowd and even 4 might be a stretch. Please let's not go back to the 80s clothing. Should I find my flourecent green jelly shoes with my hot pick triple wrap-around belt and way oversized shirt? I remember all of my clothes too...both...

    Son's school getting on board!

    At the high school I teach at they used to serve french fries every day in addition to the normal menu. Some kids would get them everyday. Granted I would eat them once or twice a year but not every day. Now they serve only "healthy" lunches. Bread is only whole wheat and it really is real...

    The "non-diet diet"

    I say go for it. I eat what I want in moderation and I am only 3 pounds away from my goal. But in reality I have been at this weight for about 10 years now. I hope I don't sound like a bitch as I say this because I don't mean to. All I am saying is that you have to enjoy everything that is...

    Morning all. Lacy: Did you just get the CTX dvd's? Glad to hear you like them. I don't have them. I thought about getting them but now realize that it is one more thing I may have to move. I did a B&G premix and still don't get how you like that workout. I did it but hated it the whole...

    Sounds like we are working hard! I did GS Legs today. I did one of the shorter premixes and then added on some stuff at the end. How does she do the leg lifts with the band and not get tired? I didn't use the band and couldn't keep up with her. I bought lots of great fresh stuff to eat...

    Pic of the day

    Hilarious! Makes you wonder though really happens with all those dollars the govt spends on education. We obviously did a great job with these 2. (Teachers please don't take offense. I am one too.)
