Anyone have a great go-to appetizer that's vegetarian, preferably vegan, that's also gluten free? ...and it's something that non-veg/vegans will also enjoy?? Thanks in advance for your help!

Has anyone tried Garden of Life Raw Protein? I saw an ad for it in Vegetarian Times and it looked good, as in good for you. I looked on Amazon and some people said it tasted ok and some said it was awful. I bought it anyways, thinking I could disguise the taste somehow. NOT....:( Does...

My hands get cold handling bags of frozen vegetables or cutting cold food from the refrigerator:( so shoveling snow just about kills them. Today it's 15 degrees and I had on a pair of those silver glove liners plus a pair of arctic gloves on top of the liners and after about 10 minutes, I had...

The other day my friends and I were having a discussion about being nice to people, like telling a frazzled store cashier that her hair is cute, or you like her scarf, etc...things that will make someone's day, perhaps. I got to thinking way back to 5th grade... a loooooong time ago. :) In...

I've always eaten breakfast. The only time I don't is if I'm fasting for a blood test!:) However, lately for some reason I've become turned off by all breakfasts. I'm sick of eggs, sick of oatmeal, protein shakes, green smoothies, etc... I eat gluten free, so I don't eat toast, but I do eat...

Jackie Warner's new show on Bravo, Thintervention, premiered last night. I recorded it and watched it this morning. It feels kind of like Biggest Loser, only it isn't a competition. I loved that Jeana from RHOC was one of the participants. Jackie did seem to throw in a few good hints/tips...

Everyone looks so fit and beautiful (as always!) in the pictures posted in the blog about Cathe's new workouts. I'm so glad I pre-ordered!

I'm making out my birthday/Christmas list and I think I want Turbo Fire, but I have a couple questions. (I'm sorry if this has been discussed previously) 1) Has any dread-factor set in yet or are you still enjoying the workouts? 2) Do I need the Deluxe add-ons or is the Basic enough? 3)...

There's a great organic grocery store about 5 miles away. Everything's organic, and they also carry lots of items that are sometimes difficult to find elsewhere, like chia seeds, maca powder, etc. They also have a smoothie/juice bar that's fabulous. Just got an email that they're closing...

Or if you're not old enough, maybe you've heard of her...She used to have a tv show years ago and I can remember my mom exercising to her when I was real little. I remember doing "fanny bumps" across the living room floor... I think the show was broadcast in Cleveland and could be viewed in...

I met Capt. Johnathan Hillstrand on Saturday! He was at a local music festival/fair, and my sis and I walked up there (about a mile from my house) in the blistering heat, and stood in line 2 hours to get to meet him!!! He signed my copy of his book, and I bought a "Time Bandit" cap, which he...

For those of you with knee/joint issues, do you take glucosamine supplements? If so, have you noticed any improvement? I've heard of studies that say it's not as useful as claimed, yet some people swear by them. If you take them, what brand do you use, and do you use just glucosamine or...

I've had some knee issues lately after pounding myself senseless with high impact cardio. So I've been taking it easy and doing "Walk It Out" Wii and other things easier on my body. I got to thinking that I needed an Urban Rebounder, which would take some stress off my joints even while...

The new lightbulbs that we're all supposed to be switching to (I think they're called CFL bulbs?)...They're supposed to be energy-efficient, environmentally friendly and save electricity, but is anyone concerned about their safety? They've got mercury in them...:( The experts say that it's a...

If so, what do you give him/her? We have a regular carrier, but there are also so many others who substitute throughout the year, I don't see our regular guy that often. Last year I just gave containers of cookies/pretzels that I made.... I don't know... Cash? A gift card? TIA for any...

I ordered a Century Wavemaster freestanding heavy bag from Sears.com and had it shipped to the store and I'm picking it up today!!! Yahoo! It's not the xxl one, but it was on sale for $89.99 and is good enough for me! My friend is going with me today and she just looked at me like I was...

Especially you, Kathryn! Thanks to you, I finally drove 30 miles to Sur La Table the other day and bought a Vita-Mix Professional Series!!!! It was the last one they had in stock. I just LOVE it and I've been making green smoothies until they're coming out of my ears. :D Kathryn, I...

I know there have been other threads about workout flooring lately, and I hope you don't mind another question... I recently moved my workout area from a spare bedroom to the basement so I can have more room. The basement is finished and carpeted. I bought a set of 6 puzzle mats to put down...

Good morning everyone! I guess I'll start this off today, although since I'm usually a thread-killer, this should be interesting...:D Anyway, I did Rodney Yee AM Yoga hip openers this morning, and Butts and Gutts are on the menu for later. Eating has been good, and I plan to keep it...

I've finally decided I have to jump on the HRM bandwagon, and I'm getting overwhelmed trying to decide which one to get. For those of you familiar with the Polar F6 and F11, is the F11 worth the extra $50? Or does the F6 work just as well without the extra bells and whistles? Do I NEED the...
