RE: The Some of us (myself included) have a distorted view of what our bodies really look like. There are days when I look in the mirror and see the same body as when it had 30 extra pounds on it. It's hard to work through this and be able to give yourself a reality check. And, I can...

An excellent idea that I hadn't thought of - Thanks!! --Lois "If I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning" - Mahatma Ghandi

I probably should have stressed more that the 220-age thr formula is definitely inaccurate. It was determined using random subjects in 1970 but is now generally thought to have a standard deviation of plus or minus 16 to 20 beats per minute. However, in some places it is still used as a...

I have a 5K coming up on Friday so I did 6 miles today in the heat and humidity. Not fun even though I took 2 water bottles with me. I think because spring came so late here (New England) I'm not yet acclimated to summer weather. I love to run and I hate it when I don't enjoy my workout. ix(...

Remember, Cathe says that just making the effort works your core. I can only do them while in the lotus position which gets my legs up off the floor. I still keep trying to do it Cathe's way but have had no luck so far. --Lois "If I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely...

Your target heart rate is the number of heartbeats per minute that indicate appropriate intensity levels for an individual. That is, how hard your heart needs to work to achieve a training effect. Target heart rate is also called training heart rate. The general formula used to calculate...

Way to go Donna!!! Enjoy your new job!! When do you start? --Lois "If I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning" - Mahatma Ghandi

Ryka Rhythm IIs for me as well for Cathe. I am really happy with them. Shop around on the internet for a good price. Also ASICS for running, just like Shelley. I have these really comfortable pair of New Balance trail running shoes that I wear around town. --Lois "If I have the...

I'm a stability ball junkie. I LOVE them. I didn't even have to think about this one. --Lois "If I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning" - Mahatma Ghandi

Another piece of advice: Consider the task of looking for a job as it IS his current job. When my DH's company went out of business, he got dressed every day and spent the time he would normally be in the office job hunting. It kept him in the right mindset and moving forward. He used this...

So, so sorry. I am very fortunate in that I still have both my parents and every day is a gift. --Lois "If I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning" - Mahatma Ghandi

I can't imagine going through something like this. Good karma and strength coming your way. --Lois "If I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning" - Mahatma Ghandi

I also had trouble with the B-complex. I go through phases where I take my vitamins every day and then I stop for some unknown reason. --Lois "If I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning" - Mahatma Ghandi

BOOTCAMP!! and maybe a run this evening if it cools off. --Lois "If I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning" - Mahatma Ghandi

I have done a few of her workouts and I've liked the choreography and the intensity - they are hard workouts. That being said, her cueing is not the best (like others have said) and she doesn't shut up through the entire workout. I don't do her often because of that, it gets on my nerves. But...

I take them and I store them in the fridge. As someone else said, they are a lot easier to get down and I seem to digest them better. I would be interested to know how your body responds. I was part of the Harvard Med School study that published the first results of the benefits of taking...

Been there. I got layed off when I couldn't work full-time (I had been working part-time for 6 years and had the kids all settled around this.) As it turned out they did me a favor. I felt betrayed as well but I learned a lesson: Don't feel sentimental about a company because they don't feel...

Way to go!! Several people have complimented me on my arm muscles.... --Lois "If I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning" - Mahatma Ghandi

If you send me your address via private message I will send you the flashcards and the cds. The flashcards are very helpful. The workbooks are pretty used up but I think you can by those separately. I will not be using the flashcards or the cds anymore so I hope you will take me up on my...
