    I smell like ammonia

    This happens to me all the time. A doc friend of mine told me I was likely in ketosis (a common thing for people doing Atkins-type diets as well, I guess). I've never noticed any side effects, other than the smell, that is! :)

    Breast Fitness

    It's not that you are doing the chest exercises wrong - it's that by doing them, you are tightening up the muscles in the front of your body, causing it to naturally curve in on itself a bit. Partner that up with lousy posture from sitting at a computer all day, and you have a problem. That's...

    Need Reassurance About Vitamix Purchase

    I love mine, we use it every day. In the summer the kids love making "margaritas" with non-alcoholic mix and ice, and I use it every morning for my breakfast protein shake (which is often also my dinner, so this thing often gets used 3-4x/day).

    Anyone use bareMinerals make up?

    I totally agree - the full size eye shadows that I've gotten from them will last me my lifetime I think! The sample sizes are perfect.

    Anyone use bareMinerals make up?

    I switched to mineral make-up a few years ago and never looked back. I started with BM, but there is something in it that makes me itch like crazy - this is a fairly common issue, if you Google this (one of the minerals they use is potentially irritating for some folks). I tried Everyday...

    Healthy weight range

    I think you just need to experiment a bit and see what "fits" you as a good solid weight to settle on. I'm 5' 9" and weigh 130lbs (down from 142 where I was for a LONG time after simply going vegan over a year ago) and feel very comfortable here. I eat WAY more than 1200 calories though...

    Wen update and vanilla mint review

    GREAT news!!!!! I'll have to remember to pop over to QVC at the end of the week (or on Dec 1, if they might be running a special if Chaz is going to be on). I'm dying to try the WVM. I love the Ginger Pumpkin - I bought 4 bottles of that, and still have a huge Lavender bottle (only about 1/4...

    Wen update and vanilla mint review

    Does anyone know if QVC will ever carry the Vanilla Mint on it's own? Given it seems like a similar formula to the Pumpkin Spice (which I LOVE LOVE LOVE), I'd like to try this, but the Amazon price is crazy.

    DH said he doesn't want man arms on me grrrr

    ^^^^ This. You are "sneaking in" tricep work????? Seriously? Sneaking? Lifting is good for you, important for your long term health, etc. Do what you know is right and what you like to do. End of story.

    TRX Suspension Training--any input?

    I also have the Jungle Gym which is essentially the same thing, and I love it.

    Wen on QVC Oct 1st

    Darn, I missed it!!!!! Did anyone catch this? Any good specials? I'm not a big QVCer so I don't know if there are ways to set up a "watch list" or something to receive an email notification when your favorite products will be showcased. Is there such a thing? I'm a long time Wen user...

    Wen hair care

    I love WEN - I'm so glad that I saw this thread because I've still got plenty of my current bottle, and had NO idea there was a pumpkin spice version!!! I just ordered 2 bottles. I wish it came in the bigger bottles - I'm sure I will love the smell - will be great all fall/winter. I have...

    Swim cap question

    To protect your hair from absorbing the chlorine in the first place, BEFORE you get into the pool, wet it thoroughly and if you can, apply some conditioner through it. Then put on the swim cap. You have to find what amount of conditioner works for you - too much, and your cap slips right off. :)...

    road bike advice

    Congrats on joining the tri community! How long have you been riding? From your comments, I'm guessing it's a fairly new activity to you. It takes time to learn your personal "sweet spot" for gearing, and for changing gears to become totally second nature. Do you have a bike computer that shows...

    No more cardio!!

    I don't like the M/T set-up. That is two days of leg work, back to back.

    No more cardio!!

    Cathe has a LOT of great rotations - I used to do them in the past and had a ball with them. From what I recall, she had a ton to choose from. I'm sure you could find something there that you could use as a template, if you don't have the specific workouts she suggests. I think these are on...
