Tracie has said they will be on DVD and the production quality will be top notch. My TLPs are holding up ok, but I wish they'd re-do them on DVD. Sad that some of the best work outs were put out w/ such not great quality. Valerie

Tracie started her own gym, V, more than a yr. ago and produced some DVDs after getting certified by the National Academy of Sports Medicine. They have a functional fitness emphasis and are different from anything else I've seen out there. I wouldn't say they replace traditional workouts, but...

They've started rehearsals on the 4 DVDs in production. 2 will have Tracie as lead, Jen Carman and Susan Harris will lead the others. This was posted on Tracie's board: "Yes, we will have music much like what is in the other TLP videos. Rehearsals are going well and I'm sore in places that...

I always wanted to work peds., but the thinking was 'first do a few yrs. of med. surg. to get some experience'. I dreaded this, since med-surg. was not my cup of tea. I went to a job fair and spoke to a recruiter from a children's hospital who said that SO was not true. So my first job was...

Hi Allison Bedside nurse for 23 yrs. and counting here after finishing my BSN in '82. I initially figured I'd work in acute care for a few yrs., then grad school. Truth be told, I love the bedside. One great thing about being a nurse is there are so many different ways to work. If someone...

My all time favorite has to be George Costanza from Seinfeld. Come to think of it, the entire Costanza clan is over the top. Ted Baxter and Lou Grant from Mary Tyler Moore, Larry, Darryl and Darryl from the Bob Newhart show. Norton from the Honeymooners. Agnes DePesto from Moonlighting...

Tracie Long's functional fitness DVDs : www.justv.net. The production quality is not good, but past that, they're wonderful for strength, flexibility and core work. It's an entirely different focus from Cathe. This is good, because any other cardio or weight work just looks lame compared to...

RE: TV Series I watch very little TV because there's so much on that just doesn't appeal to me. (I do subscribe to HBO when the Sopranos is airing, enjoy "Rescue Me"). I saw a promo for this and thought 'that's awful.' Well, I worked 3-11 yesterday and channel surf when I get home to unwind...

No previews on the website of the ones already on the market. Hopefully, she'll put up previews of the new ones when they get that far along in production. These work outs have a 'love it or hate it' factor. Many people have found them too easy, boring etc. Relatively easy to find on the...

What I love about Tracie's work outs is that they are AREN'T anything like Cathe's. The entire focus is completely different and I find myself engaged physically and mentally in a different way. I find I like doing a week's worth at a time, like Kathryn, to shake things up. Life would be dull...

If you've never tried Tracie Long's workouts, I'm recommending them. They are completely different from Cathe in every way, but still wonderful. When I want to feel 'worked out' without feeling 'wrung out', these fit the bill. The new workouts will be filmed in October. This was posted on...

My mom had fibroids and had her period a lot when I was growing up. I just always remember knowing about it, not having a 'big talk'. When I got my period at 12, she went into detail about it, but I was pretty unfazed. Now, kids the talk in health class, along w/ a small package of pads (and...

When my daughter was 5, (she turned 14 today:-) ), she cried when we left our old minivan at the dealers and came home in a new one. We got a new blender a short time later, and she cried that she missed the old one. (There wasn't anything wrong w/ it, I just got one w/ more bells and...

JeanneMarie said: "Who would've thought we'd have such a tall child?? His height is a constant source of amazement in our household!" One day, I was putting away laundry, and my 5'10 16 yr. old noticed I was putting his stuff absendmindedly in my 5'6 husband's dresser. He said, "Mom, when are...

my daughter turns 14 next week. just got her period for the first time. She's wee, 4'11" and 89lbs. (then again, I'm 5'2 and her father is 5'6). One of my sons is 5'5 and another 5'10. Same gene pool, same diets. Go figure! Valerie

RE: Update on Great news. Valerie :-)

"Fat-arexia" I call it and I have it big time. Even tho' I'm in a size 12, I still THINK I'm in a 4 or 6. When I see photos, or catch a quick glance in the mirror, I'm thinking 'who's that lard ass w/ the 3 chins?" Alas, it's me. Valerie

I worked the night shift for years and I think I would have had a nervous break down if I had to deal w/ this after working all night. That's just nasty! }( Get some rest, Valerie :)

Wow, how sad. I read the article and she seems to be so . . . . serene about it, altho' I'm sure her initial reaction was "WTF?!". I've read of people who develop cancer after undergoing periods of extreme stress and have a friend whose husband died suddenly at 44, leaving her w/ 3...

great thread! My mother has 3 sisters: Valerie Adele Teresa I'm Valerie Adele and Teresa is my godmother Valerie (Adele) ;-)
