what's the deal with that new Venus vibrating razor? It seems a little bizarre to me....... --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 get insomnia for a night or two before I get my period. Therefore, I'm tired just from that. Before I had endometrial ablation done, I was bleeding so heavily and was so anemic that I was absolutely wiped during TTOM and the rest of the month as well. It didn't get rid of the insomnia...

Another vote for "The Time Traveller's Wife", also "Three Junes" (I don't know the author but I loved this book!) But, my all-time favorite is still "Little Women" by Louisa May Alcott. --Lois "If I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if...

I was just wondering how their menstrual cycles have been affected by having extremely low body fat. In most cases, when you have this low a level of body fat, you stop getting your periods. Wonder what the long-term effect is?? --Lois "If I have the belief that I can do it, I shall...

RE: What about jump roping? I did finally get out for that first run this past weekend (it has been raining for days and days here). It felt great!! I also appreciate your suggestions and am definitely going to check them out. Thanks again. --Lois "If I have the belief that I can do...

I probably did pay too much but that is typical of me!! I don't have the patience to shop around and the nearest Wal-Mart is not convenient for me. I did check a lot of stores first before I resorted to eBay. You definitely should buy more if you can and sell it on eBay to people like me...

I do cardio and strength on alternate days and take a rest day when I need to. I think that I have gotten more results from the strength training BUT you have to have both because each contributes to the success of the other. For example, my lower body strength training helps me to run faster...

I think what Kathryn said is probably true. You have to have low body fat to get that ripped look. They are probably lifing just enough to maintain muscle mass (and lifting right before competitions or photo shoots to get even more definition). --Lois "If I have the belief that I can do...

RE: The I don't want to! I don't have to! You can't make me!! :-):-):-) Seriously, I am very selective about my sweets (on purpose so that they can be included in my daily diet). You wouldn't want me to break my diet, would you??? --Lois "If I have the belief that I can do it, I...

I couldn't find it anywhere around here so I bought some on eBay and am still waiting for it to arrive. --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

Massachusetts!! Go Red Sox - I still believe!! I'm not going though because I'm getting certified as a spinning instructor that day. It was a tough call. --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...

You are correct in knowing that you need to wait 48 hours between weight training sessions, if the same muscles are being exercised. If, as you stated, you do PUB & PLB on consecutive days this is absolutely fine. Each muscle needs 48 hours to repair the tiny tears that are caused by...

I hate "break your teeth" biscotti. Shelley, yours turned out exactly like mine do. --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 live 25 miles north of Boston. Last winter was a great winter for snowshoeing!! --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

Yesterday - 5 mile run Today - Muscle Max --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

My 12 yr old has an iPod and I am trying to negotiate with him to let me put a file of running music on it. So far, no luck. There's something wrong when the 12 year old has an iPod and the parents don't (although he bought it with his own money)!! --Lois "If I have the belief that I...

I can do two but that second one is a killer. The first one is easier because I have to jump to reach the bar and I think the momentum helps me to pull myself up. The second one is just a major fight against gravity, which always seems to win in the end!! --Lois "If I have the belief...

Yep, I finally got my butt out of the house and did my first run of the year. For some reason, I always have trouble getting out to do that first run!! Anyway, here are some revelations that came to me: 1. I bought the right running shoes. ASICS GT-2100 in a wide width. Nice cushioning...

This is the recipe that has made me the "biscotti queen" around these parts. I give them as holiday gifts, sometimes with other flavors. DOUBLE CHOCOLATE WALNUT BISCOTTI 2 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 3/4 stick (6...
