Last year, due to rising gas prices, I started biking to work about three days per week. Acutally, I do a bike-bus combo commute. It is beautiful, and I love it. But the funny thing is that, even though I started doing it to save money, by the time I pay the bus fare, it actually doesn't save...

Thanks so much for the info! She seems pretty excited about S&L, so she'll probably be very happy to hear that someone else does it without a step. :)

> The >truth really hurts. LOL As spoken by the great Obi-Wan: Luke, you're going to find that many of the truths we cling to... depend greatly on our own point of view.

Those of you who have these workouts: To what extent is the step used? My sister is interested in starting some weight lifting videos. She is experienced at lifting, but doesn't have a lot of eqipment... or room to store it. Is it used like a weight bench only? Could a stability ball be used...

Maybe this will help with the wrist thing.... I had a similar problem with my wrists two years ago, (it is still a little touchy at times) and it really hurt my ability to do yoga. I tried the push-up bars and weights that people suggest, but they were uncomfortable on the palms of my hands...

Hi, sorry to hear about that. It sounds terrifying! I am a teacher. In the past, in our district, when a student gets in trouble, and is believed to be a potentially series threat for some reason, one of the disciplinary steps has been suspension pending the results of a psychological...

I recently purchased "Flexibility Yoga" with Patricia Walden. It has two sessions that are about 35 min. each, one focuses on backbends, and the other on forward bends. The forward bending practice is nice and light, but the backbending practice gets a little rigorous toward the end. I love them...

Oh yes, the body butter is AMAZING. My favorite is Sesame, but it sounds like everyone likes something a little different.

Hi Janie, This is a little OT, (nothing to do with B12) but.... I enjoyed your story about the blender "smoothie" you used on your face. It reminded me of a book I gave to my bridesmaids four years ago, and they love it, called "Naturally Beautiful"... full of all kinds of skin-treatment...

Karen Voight has a workout video called Total Body Training that uses a resist-a-ring. The video REALLY targets your inner thighs... in fact, a reviewer on amazon called the whole video an inner-thigh workout. Cathe also has nice inner-thigh exercise in Push Pull: you lie on your back, knees...

Thanks so much for posting this one!

I have the Best Vegetarian Slow Cooker Recipes cookbook. It has some great recipes. But if you are considering this one, you may want to know that it is not the just-dump-everything-in-and-wait approach to slow-cooker cooking. You usually pre-cook the veggies and spices a little first, before...

I have Intense Moves and really enjoy it, but I don't have a lot to compare it to... the only other interval workout I own is IMAX 2. Cathe is definitely harder and more creative, but sometimes I don't feel up to IMAX 2 or the choreography... and Intense Moves fits the bill perfectly. It will...

> I have gained my >flexibility back to the point where I can put my chest flat to >the ground with my leggs open and perform a split, . . and I'm >in my 30's. OK, I have managed to stay blissfully unaffected by all the talk of fluidity until the moment I read this. You have now...

RE: Brad and Angelina adopted a new baby. It's all ove... THEY are probably sick of all of us hearing about them too!

Thank you so much for your recommendations! They are helpful and really give me a place to start looking.

This weekend, I was a complete klutz and accidentally spilled an entire mug of scalding-hot tea on my foot. I tore my shoe and sock off immediately... and a big patch of skin from the top of my foot came with it. So now I have a pretty bad burn on my foot and am barely able to hobble around...

If you find counting points/calories makes you obsessive, but appreciate being more aware of your eating patterns, maybe something in this book would be a happy medium for you in your food-logging: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1579544835/ref=pd_kar_gw_3/103-3872265-0730226 It is called...

As you may have noticed, it was a real >flash in the pan. Really no one is talking about it anymore. It's funny; I have noticed just the opposite. Just yearday I saw several people buying this movie at Costco, (I was only in the store for about 10 minutes) and this morning noticed a HUGE...

Hi Tina, Sorry you are feeling so rotten and confused lately. :( It is so hard to give advice to someone based on a few paragraphs of information, but from what you wrote, it sounds possible that you could really benefit from having that built-in family-support-system working for you right...
