    night time snack

    I have a sweet tooth and like to microwave an apple with some truvia, cinnamon and a teensy bit a butter. Tastes so very yummy and fall like. When you said you have greek yogurt and peanut butter, do you mix those together? I've never thought about that, but now i'm curious..being the...

    Collarbone area pain

    So for the last 2 months or so i've been having some minor pain that started on the right side of my neck and over time has moved to my collarbone. It feels like it's in the muscles underneath my collarbone on the right side. I can shrug my shoulders and turn my head...it mostly hurts when i...

    Anyone have a Kindle?

    Just wanted to add my two cents. :) I commute via the train..have a kindle, and am obsessed! I recently complained loudly to my husband because we both wanted to read the new Dan Brown book so i had to read like all the normal people, LOL. I told him if i got carpal tunnel from turning pages...

    Question about stretching

    Thanks for explaining it so thoroughly, i didn't even know there was a term for that kind of stretching! :) And if i only need a small (non-sweaty!) warm-up, i think stretches before bed will be beneficial and soothing. Thanks again!

    Question about stretching

    Hi Cathe! I was wondering about techniques for stretching to increase flexibility. When i was in h.s. (only about 10 years ago) i used to be pretty flexible..could touch my nose to my knee, almost do the splits...that kinda thing. Now that i am back into exercising regularly i long for that...

    eating clean--your experiences

    Just a comment on carrying around a cooler. Go to ebags.com and do a search for KOKO. They create cooler lunch bags that look like regular purses! I loooove mine because i can walk around campus and still feel stylish. Plus with one of those little ice packs, my stuff stays cold easily...

    New HR Monitor..gotta question!

    Thanks Janie and Lori. :) Yeah, i'm trying not to look at that number too much, but it's so difficult! :) I did find some calories burned calculators on the internet based on age/weight/avg heartrate...and the two i found said i should have burned around 500, so i guess i'll just have to see...

    New HR Monitor..gotta question!

    Crystal Light

    Just a quick question having to do with the Emergen-C...each packet has 1000mg of vitamin C, and each packet is to be mixed with only 4 - 6 oz. of water according to the instructions. Does anyone try mixing one packet with 20oz bottles of water, is it watered down tasting? Also, if you wanted...

    Anyone suffering from allergies?

    Zyrtec works really well for me, as long as i stay on it constantly. I get the 24-hr ones and take it in the morning. If i forget to take it, i notice it within two days (and my allergies are HORRIBLE, and year round)...and then it'll take about a day before it kicks in after i start taking it...

    I didn't know a trip to the grocery store could cause depression

    Agreed. 'Cept, even tho it's less processing...they charge more cause they can't use all the drugs and insecticides that non-organic places can...so their crops/cows/whatever yield less. Not that one necessarily has to go organic, Whole Foods prices make me cry sometimes ($8 for a gallon of...

    Protein shake breakfast?

    I'm betting a "real wholesome breakfast" will always be the best choice, but i often do a protein shake right after my workout (and thus, for breakfast, since i exercise in the am). I started by just using protein powder and water, but over time in order to become more well rounded...
