    Alwyn, TT, KB, the X, etc Monday

    Jen - having been there with the kids going to Dad's for periods of time, I am with you. In fact, when I have a 3 day weekend I don't usually take a rest day because I love to exercise and when I have the extra time I fit extra exercise in there too. My rest weeks are not totally exercise...

    cardio coach - how often?

    There many articles on HIIT if you do a google search. What I remember seeing is that HIIT = intervals of high intensity followed by recovery ie. 60 seconds high intensity, then 60 seconds of recovery, then repeat. For me I can up my speed to up my HR or sometimes if my legs are "sulggish"...

    Um, no I don't need help, thanks!

    Wendy - that is exactly what I was thinking. Now when I bought my 20# ers it was a bit if a problem trying to figure out how to hold one in each hand and then open the car door and put them in!:P After all, I didn't want to put them down in the parking lot and scratch my new babies!

    Q for haircolor experts

    I go to the beauty supply stores and but the coloring supplies separately. I don't have a standard color either so actually mix two together and it works well for me. (Then it is just the greys that show through !x( ) I use a salon style cream color and mix with the cream developer. They...

    Alwyn, TT, KB, the X, etc Monday

    Back from my workout. Think I'll venture away from NROLW for a while. I am enjoying the body changes, but not finding the "fun" that I used to have with Cathe workouts. Only made it past Stage 2 but some of the combo exercises are also not working with my lower back and shoulder issues...

    First 10K - any advice?

    Thanks for the tips ladies. Christine - I will be doing the "Run for the Stinkin' Rose" which is a Garlic Festival kickoff run and car show later in the day downtown. I can run the actual race route so it is nice to have my first be a local run. Have a coworker running the Wharf to Wharf...

    First 10K - any advice?

    My info: I haven't done too much running - was doing alot of TM work during the fall and winter (15 - 20 mi/wk) but have cut back (to about 10 mi/wk) since my focus has been on weights lately. (Started NROLW in April but have taken 2 weeks off in between stages). Was using the TM in between...

    iPod armbands

    LOL ladies - no cleavage here but when I use my older style shuffle I just hang it down my shirt too. Or sometimes I tuck in in the little pocket in my running shorts. Not sure how that looks, but I'm not one who cares much.}( Beth - glad you were kidding. I joke back with people with a...

    Alywn, KB, P90X,TT....etc

    Morning all ! Just got back from my run - the simulated 10K that is next weekend. Shaved a couple minutes off of last week's run. This week I ran the entire way except about 3 iPod adjustments.x( My right bum cheek was a bit sore on the last few hills (just small inclines) but felt fine...

    body fat

    the old saying goes "muscle weights more than fat". I have hit the weights pretty hard for me this year and though my scale hasn't budged, I am fittin into pants that I couldn't at the beginning of the year. And what is crazy is that my measurements haven't changed much, my lower bod is just...

    Anyone watching the Olympic Trials?

    I haven't watched much, but I am enthused to see the Olympics and the new little gymnast (of course her name escapes me now) that is being compared to Mary Lou Retton. She is absolutely adorable. Maybe Shawn Johnson? or something like that? I love love love her personality and spunk...

    Buffalo meat...ever try it?

    Have had buffalo many many moons ago in Colorado. But lately we have purchased some buffalo sausage from a close to local meat market. I enjoy the taste though it isn't much different. Glad you ventured out and tried something new ! :9

    No problemo deleting the temp internet files - but have you saved your downloads to a folder other than the temp internet files? I would check that first.

    iPod armbands

    Beth - I apologize for the "miniature" arm remark. Only said it that way because of all the reviews I read where they were talking about 15 - 17" arms and so many times said "don't think it will fit a woman with small arms".\ Some of the reviews were saying the Belkins fell apart quickly, or...

    iPod armbands

    Has anyone found a good iPod armband for the 80GB that works well for running. I have read some reviews on various brands but, as usual, some are good and some bad. Figured my fellow Catheites may have better suggestions. My bicep is about 12.5 to 13" and I was hoping to find one that...

    Where to find a weighted vest in Canada?

    Just a heads up that the Walkvest only comes with 4 lbs of weights and extras must be ordered. They are quite expensive. All in all, in my search, it was hard to find anything that was not expensive for a weighted vest. I did get the Walkvest and have used it by attaching my Pace weights...

    i am shocked beyond words-warning personal

    Just wondering if the "personal questions" had anything to do if you were attached or available? If you are "available" then maybe that was the reason for the questions and the "proposition".
