    Lettuce

    Large amounts of vegetables will cause you to bloat, but gas doesn't weigh anything. I'd be curious how much sodium was in the bar, it may have caused you to retain water (from the vegetables).

    Update on Splitsville

    Donna, I read your other post but never replied. Best of luck to you. You have the right frame of mind in putting your daughter's feelings first and foremost. Divorce is tough, no doubt about it. Yes, your husband is going to be a jerk. If you were the primary breadwinner, he's facing how...

    TurboTax or Tax Cut?

    Does anyone have opinions on one vs. the other? I've always been able to do our taxes myself, but this year my taxes will change due to the ages of my children, etc. They also have trust funds set up by their grandparents and I'm custodian of them - meaning I have to file on the earnings on...

    Kimberly Spreen Absolute Kickboxing question?

    If you are using something unweighted, like a broomstick handle, you could wear wristweights (or ankleweights to your wrists). You still get the same benefits of the motions and a little bit more intensity.

    Jari Love's Ripped 1000

    My opinions on Jari's workouts, since I have them all: The original - set and music is different than the rest, Jari is more relaxed. A bit easier than the others with fewer reps, so need to heavy up a bit. But completely a non-dread workout. Ripped Slim and Lean - A dread workout...

    Which One IS Best

    The Timesaver is a compilation of the other workouts in the BodyBlast Series. You would get 5 workouts that are all under an hour. 4 of them start with a cardio section from SB, SJP, or KPC and then work a specific muscle group from the weight work in SJP plus some additional footage. The 5th...

    Which One IS Best

    Could you clarify your question? Are you trying to decide to purchase the Timesaver DVD from the BodyBlast Series vs the Cardio & Weights/IMAX 2 DVD from the Intensity Series? The answers are kind of all over the place, not knowing what you're considering. Diane

    6 Flags Magic Mountain

    I think the wooden one is Goliath, but it's been years for me too. I preferred it because it didn't turn you upside down, which tends to get to my stomach after awhile. There are plenty to choose from, believe me! Diane

    Personal question, but I really need advice...

    Personally, I've been on the pill for years off and on and don't see that it affects my weight. I'm fortunate to be able to take a low-dose pill. I've used it more for regulating my periods than for birth control. On the pill - I know within half a day, when my period will start. It lasts...

    DHC Skincare

    DHC Skincare

    I love the Deep Cleansing Oil. They are based in San Francisco. I live about 50 miles from there and can order one day and receive it the next. Diane P.S. If you belong to the YaYas, DawnK is a model for DHC and can probably give you some reccomendations.

    update on "did I do something wrong" post

    RE: update on >Everything that he told you about himself, his life, his job, his character, his friends - everything-, could have been an absolute bald-faced lie. Hey, that happens in real life too. Nothing's really that much different in online dating, except the bar is open 24/7...

    Appreciate Electrcity

    Oh yes, I do appreciate it. When our power goes out, and that's about 2 or 3 times a year, we expect it to be out 8 hours at a time - give or take. We have a woodstove to heat the house and I've learned to be fairly creative cooking on it (invented woodstove lasagne). But one year, the power...

    did I do something wrong?

    I'm in agreement with the rest. If he spent 5 hours with you on the first date, something was "there" for him. You did nothing wrong whatsoever. You waited over a week from what I read. That's not looking desperate, that's seemingly concerned. And life gets in the way sometimes...

    Are there Cathe dvds that you hardly ever use?

    I've only done Bootcamp, Push/pull (as presented) and Step Fit one time each. Bootcamp I won't part with because I use Muscle Endurance all the time, and sometimes do the "core only" premix from Bootcamp. Push/pull I didn't click with from the beginning. Too much time spent on muscle groups I...

    Bra "vanity sizing"!

    RE: Bra I hate bra shopping. My band size is a very hard to find 32. Sometimes I'm a C and sometimes a D. Sometimes the band size runs small and I'm a 34 (doesn't happen too often). Sometimes it's a 30, in which case I'm a DD, sometimes. I really don't see the point of getting a...

    Gift-giving amounts question -- what's fair?

    Cathy, in re-reading my post, I didn't mean to come off snippish and I probably did. I apologize. If it were a regular occurance, then yes, a working couple should be paying more of the share than a working single. The adults in my family haven't exchanged gifts for the past 10 or 12...
