I'm not even exercising regularly right now and I have a long list: I want: The Power Tower! I want to be able to use it for STS when I start and as a barre. My SO might leave me if I buy that one, but I might do it anyway ;) Shiva Rea DVDs... I am itching to return to a regular yoga...

I am forever grateful for my parents. I couldn't ask for anybody more supportive and loving. Finishing up school! This final semester has been so trying and for some reason, I have been dealt some of the most horrific people. But as of this week, the worst is over!! The wonderful...

Amy!!! I was just talking about this a few days ago. The bottom line is that "we the people" have absolutely no say in how our "picture-perfect" democratic country is run. The reason politicians argue for eternity is that they are arguing for their own profits. I think most of us...

Just to give perhaps another perspective on the matter, I'll share my feelings about weddings. I love my family dearly, more than anything, and talk to my parents every single day. My SO's family is fine. We all get along great. But if we were to get married, it would happen without...

Oh god! Pumpkin cheese cake! Yes! The BEST!!! (I haven't tried your particular kind, though). Sorry, pumpkin pie cheesecake puts both pumpkin pie and pecan pie to shame. I used to be a pecan girl all the way. Now it's too sweet and makes me ill. I even don't like the pumpkin pie...

I know that we are all very different, however, I too have IBS (and it seems like every other digestive disorder in the world!) and my problems are reduced dramatically if I take out: Dairy, SOY!! (the number one most painful food for my stomach), gluten, corn (even though it is hard for me...

Hey! I'm going to school in Boulder :D I live between Denver and Boulder. What I don't understand is that today, when road conditions are worse and the snow is piled higher, school is totally on, even though several of the elementary and high schools are closed. Today would be beautiful if...

Hi :) I'm in Colorado. We had snow a couple of weeks ago already, but this time it's a real storm. Winter isn't joking around anymore! :mad:

Ok, so I don't mind snow days. At all. I love being home and cozy when there's a blizzard outside. Except it would be nice if somebody had told me... We have known for 5 days that today the sky would open up and drop snow for at least 24 straight hours. The forecast was 100% right on...

We are having a pretty nasty "epidemic" ourselves. I am at a college, and these things spread like wildfire around here. Add onto the that the allergies that people suffer from in this god-forsaken place, and you have an immuno disaster! The thing that is causing the biggest problem is the...

Yes!!!!!! While I always loved exercise videos, running used to be the centerpiece of my exercise routine. Everything else was a very effective and fun supplement. Once I was forced to stop running because of an IT problem that simply cannot be resolved, I've lost a lot of my motivation for...

I really don't have much advice for you, except that it will get easier. I was lucky enough that the changes in my diet were made slowly, however, so I was able to acquire a taste for healthier foods. I am also lucky in that I have a couple of restaurants around here that only do salads (I eat...

I inherited my fathers psoriasis, dandruff, wild hair, horrible eye sight, social skills (bad ones :p), love of television, inability to talk about serious or emotional issues, and love of salt. I've inherited my mother's anxiety, depression, acne, hormonal problems, insomnia, all-or-nothing...

Throw the scale away. Really, truly. The first step in allowing it to lose its power over you is to distance yourself from it. It can't hurt you if it isn't there. I personally don't give a crap about my weight. But I have severe acne and severe scarring. It's devastating. For the last...

Yes, BAM, isn't it your fault the weather is all wonky these days?? :eek: :P ;)

I totally get how funny their comment was. As my acne is the bane of my existence, I DREAM of the day somebody says that to me, even a child who can't tell if my hair was chopped off or not :P. Hehe

I am mostly bummed that we were totally denied FALL!! Summer can go to he** for all I care, because I cannot take the heat. It makes me sick, lethargic, and very unhappy. But fall is my absolute favorite time of year, clear skies, beautiful landscape, crisp weather. It's intoxicating. This...

There is, unfortunately no easy solution. Just research, experience, and time. I actually avoided all dairy products like the plague for years and found that my stomach can now tolerate dairy just fine. The very unfortunate part is that I have found out that while my stomach stopped...

I am not sure how I would deal with the declawing issue at this point, either. I think the idea of it is cruel, but, like someone pointed out, so is spaying and neutering. These things can be necessities, though, in order to live a domestic life with the babies. My point is that animals are...

Quinoa! I love this stuff, even though I don't eat it for breakfast (I don't usually do more than a piece of fruit for breakfast). It is a complete protein, and very easy to digest. For breakfast, most people cook it down to a mush and eat it like they would oatmeal. It can go savory, or it...
