    Anyone else in Nor Cal feeling my pain?

    Was up in SJ last night and my DH said, WOW, orange brown sunset ! Reminded me of you ladies that are still battling the smokiness. I did just go for a run and am feeling like even though it doesn't smell smoky (unless we are used to the smell now), my chest feels a little tight...

    I'm embarrassed to ask this

    The only type of workout that doesn't leave me dripping is UB, even LB get my shirts wet. Cardio of any kind and I look like I just ran through a sprinkler. Heck I even laughed at DH the other day when it was over 100" and I was dripping and I couldn't even see a drop of sweat on him. We...

    Just caught my 7-year old daughter ...

    I am wondering if all the hype about Sex and the City may have peaked her interest. You hear it all over and see it in so many places. Could have been at school too. Glad to hear you have fixed the computer to help prevent it in the future. And then I think sometimes the more you...

    RE: Alwyn, TT, Kettlebellers, etc. Checkin for Wed June... Wow Lora - I have yet to remember you mentioning anything even remotely healthy that they eat. I think the choices you are making when you have your cravings are good ones. The chocolate does have some good benefits (I recently...

    Anyone else in Nor Cal feeling my pain?

    Better yesterday and today, but the weekend was horrendous down here in Garlicville (Gilroy). I actually had whole oak leaves in my yard with ashes all over the car, ground, etc. and we were probably at least 5 miles from the nearest fire, but had two going at the same time. Was so hot -...

    Poppin' in before shower and work. Did CC#2 - sure gets my HR up there during the hills - apparently I need to do this more often because I end up in the red zone (85-90%) more than I am supposed to be. I am tracking my HR, cal burn and mileage so I can determine any improvement as the weeks...

    Carpel Tunnel Syndrome & Push-ups

    OK - just checkin': You said you have used every gadget out there, ie using weights to keep your arm straight all the way down (holding the DB with your knuckles pointed downward)? That is more comfortable for me. I have also used my pull up bar, one that fits over the door jam, just turn...
