    Who to BLAME for obesity?

    Agreed. Too many people like to take the high and mighty road and say, bad, bad, bad fat people, but there is so much involved with obesity, and honestly, putting it all on an obese person's shoulder is not going to help the problem. Some people DO gain weight much easier than others, and...

    Can we PLEASE have a snow day on a weekday???

    Please no! Work does not shut down, I have to go in anyway, and we in Illinois are tired of cold and ice and snow! Of course more is predicted on Friday.

    Why do people leave their carts out in the parking lot?

    My small town grocery store does carry out, no carts brought out. They do well, as they recently expanded and the store is as nice as any of the big ones in town. With the price of gas, everyone stays here to shop!

    Oprah's "No Phone Zone Pledge".......

    As of January 1 texting while driving is illegal in Illinois and it is illegal for anyone under 18 to use them while driving under the graduated lisence law. Unfortunately I see more adults using them while driving. I don't need to sign a pledge, I don't use them while driving.

    Nervous about seeing old friends from HS

    Even if you are not a size 2, your healthy lifestyle is going to make you glow at whatever size you are. Plus, must of these ladies have not seen you since you were an 18? You will look thin to them, I promise. In all likelyhood, they will look good too, and you will all laugh and have a...

    Perfect pair of jeans

    Everyone is different. I have a pair of old navy bootcut that I bought back in 2000 and they are my most favorite pair and I always get compliments when I wear them.

    Cardio Fatigue? Help!!

    Definitely if you are doing STS and Shock Cardio you need a rest day. I am also doing the two in combination and throwing swimming into the mix. I did take an extra rest day this week because I felt I needed it. Do take a day by day assessment of how you are feeling when you are doing such a...

    ipod touch and running

    I have a case that has a belt loop attachment. It may look big around, but it is very thin. I love my touch.

    Weights before cardio for fat loss?

    Weight training is far more important as you get older because of the amount of muscle mass you lose. It helps you stay even, if that makes sense. However, life is an experiment. Try it both ways and see what works for you. With Kathryn in Illinois, below zero right now and most unhappy...

    Hi Everyone!

    I think mostly it is because the cool-downs are usually offered, and without them, the work-out feels shorter and somewhat incomplete. Coupled with the shorter work-outs(and yes, that was advertised), it has caught people by surprised and made them unhappy. As a long, long, long time satisfied...

    MMA Fusion - And I laughed and laughed :)

    I have not tried the other MMA ones yet, but decided to do this one because to me it was so different from anything I had done before. Boy did it expose some weaknesses, and I am a very strong woman. So I will be popping this one in and working it till I am able to get it.

    step moves - 3 count run over the step - help

    Sweet! There are a lot of songs I sing with my choir that have these types or rhythms, so when this popped up in the video I immediately was thinking triplet, triplet!

    step moves - 3 count run over the step - help

    Remember, before she straddles, it slows down. So she does 1-2-3, 1-2-3 quickly, then it is up, up, down, straddle. So being a music person, I thought triplet, triplet, one, two, three four.

    I'm thinking of selling some of my new dvds

    Ditto to what everyone says. I am 48 and have been doing this type of stuff for years and running as well. I don't plan to give any of it up soon. However, I do monitor my body well. My chiropractor says I am one of the most in tune with my body people she has ever met. She is always amazed...

    Collage has Clips!

    I believe it. People saw the clips and started posting, probably about the time collage realized they did not want the clips up. I think this is a lot of hallabaloo about nothing!

    H1N1 vaccine

    She is in a dream world if she thinks she is immune, since flu virus mutates. However, just because her child has it, does not mean she should not come to work. We have had 3 people here kids get sick with it, and they never got it. The only one I know who got it(diagnosed) has no kids, and...

    H1N1 vaccine

    If my daughter had agreed, I would have signed the paperwork for the shot, but I am would definately NOT get the live vaccine in the nasal mist. I just got this email, and I sort of figured this was going to happen: Rats, it is a PDF and I cannot cut and past. Basically the only thing...

    H1N1 vaccine

    I believe that was 1976 when they had us all lining up at shopping malls to get the flu vaccine, which my parents chose not to get. I know several people who got quite ill from those flu shots, and not many people who got quite ill from the pandemic. And remember SARS? How many of you got...

    H1N1 vaccine

    This surprises me because I was born in 61 and had MMR vaccinations. My kids are 21 and 16 and had MMR. However, my kids did not get chicken pox vaccine, they got the illness, recovered and are fine, yet I am sure some would deem me horrible for not getting them this. My daughter did some...
