    Lunge Difficuly/Pain

    I have had a hard time when I started doing the stationary lunges too. Not sure why - I could always do huge sets of regular lunges, even with heavy weights - with no problems at all. A few things that helped were: doing them on a mat (my feet were sliding all over my laminate floor, and the...

    Help me get out of a blind date

    Well, if you don't have any interest in giving him a chance, you could do whatever you choose... ignore his calls, tell him the truth, tell him a lie, make up an excuse, whatever. But if you *would* like to give him a chance, and dating a smoker is definitely out of the questions, telling him...

    Any depressed Spinach eaters?

    Have you checked any farmer's markets? I haven't had time to make it to any, but the produce is grown and distributed only locally, and they would probably have some greens that are safe to eat.

    Vegetarian/Vegan and DH's Who Aren't

    I liked your response to her... basically, "Don't try to convert me and I won't try to convert you!" Perfect!

    Vegetarian/Vegan and DH's Who Aren't

    Hmmm. For your salads you might try beans (chickpeas or black beans are my favorites) or "baked tofu"... which already has a marinade flavor baked into it when you buy it. I am vegetarian, and my husband is not. It's never been a problem. If I am cooking, he eats what I cook, and sometimes...

    Bagged Spinach and E-Coli Warning!

    I used some of the Costco spinach to make a spinach soup the other night. Does anyone know... does cooking the spinach kill the e. coli?

    Calling all Seattlers...and anyone else:)

    I agree with Janie whole-heartledly about the traffic in Seattle! I grew up in that area, and the urban sprawl ... all the way from Olympia to Everett... and conjested roads eventually drove (no pun intended!) me away. Love, love, love the northwest, though! Have never minded the rain. :)...

    Read any good books lately?

    Wow... I am going to have to visit the amazon website next to check out some of these books... Baby Proof sounds interesting. :) If you haven't already read it, The Kite Runner is amazing. Definitely on the heavier/ more serious side. My favorite lighter/ more humorous books to read are the...

    Over 40 and breaking out!!

    Try B5 supplements!!! They really help your skin to become less oily, and don't seem to irritate or create dryness/ redness. My sister and I have struggled with acne forever (though not 40 yet) and this has worked wonders for both of us. You can get them at www.b5clearskin.com. Since taking...

    NJ Governor is taxing health club memberships!

    Wow. This is the stupidest legislation I have ever heard of. Did the governor give a reason? I'm very curious because I have been thinking and thinking.... and I can't think of one even remotely sane reason for something like that! He wants to encourage disease? He wants people to feel more...

    Single People, Please Exit the Building

    They should lay off the incompetent people first. This guy sounds seriously incompetent if he doesn't realize that what he is suggesting is discriminatory and illegal! As to which would be worse, losing a job as a married or single person, I vote that it would be tougher for the single...

    What do your DH's do to work out?

    We bike to work together. :D A beautiful route, along a river. My DH is not interested in videos at all either, but has lately said that he would like to lift weights at home using the hand weights I have and an exercise ball. You might have some luck interesting him in team sports...

    Question for teachers/educators

    Sara, First of all, two things: 1. I appreciate your compassionate stance; you sound like a very loving and wonderful parent to me. :) (And so do you Bill! You both sound like what you really want is what's best for kids, and as a teacher, I have to love that). 2.We all have issues with the...
