    Wow, thanks Clare. Sound like you have your hands full with your own problems. Things have a way of working out, even though sometimes it feels like your getting socked in the same black and blue over and over, but what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, eh? and I know about suffereing b/c...

    thanks Thanks. I'm a little worried about our weather. We never have snow this early & have already had one snow storm that hit the record books, now we got more last night and more into the morning for tomorrows commute. My interview is at 10. I will call them to confirm, but most things...

    wow Sandra, thanks for that post. That was so encouraging. Great ideas, and love the quote. It's funny, I'm not into "running" b/c I'm top heavy, and like lower impact activites, but my city is having a 5k soon, and is letting everyone know about it, seeing it on tv a lot latley. I'm wondering...

    Thanks Lisa, I really wish I had support and must come back here and at least use this forum like I use to. Don't have anyone to workout with - hard to explain situation. And I have overdone it this past year too, hurt knee (better now) and shoulder (also better now). So I have to be careful...

    Here we go again...

    I don't know how many times I can "get fit" and never get to the end. And life is not easy now, and it's hard to focus. DH and I both out of work, thank God for a little savings - unemployment gone - great gym in our basement - lots of dvd's - but so hard to get motivated. I do a few days...

    do you eat b4 am workout?

    Wow, that's quite a snack Kathryn. Never had a joji berry, sounds like something I'd want to check out. Thanks guys for your input. I would prefer not to eat until after, but I worry that I might be doing harm...2 of the am days will be weight days and the other 3 (in a work week) will be cardio...

    do you eat b4 am workout?

    I'm wondering what people eat before an early am workout. I only have an hour and workout 6-7am and don't know if I should have whey protein or 1/2 banana or what before an early am workout. I would have breakfast after the w/o on the way to work or at work. I should be starting a new job next...

    Re: Footwear

    Ok, the (spin) bike is on it's way, and I was wondering if any of you spinners out there can give me advise for some spin footwear that won't cost as much as the bike itself. And also for kickboxing: what footwear would you recommend? I wear cross-trainers for everything and don't have the...

    cardio & weights

    Just did C&W. Haven't done it in such a long time I forgot how much fun it is. Wow, it was a good little workout. I usually do Imax 2, which is one of my fav's but decided to change it up and glad I did. Autumn

    Rollerblading

    I wear knee, wrist and elbow pads. I don't wear a helmot b/c I can't see falling on my head. I think it's overkill and give me hat head in the worst way. If I fell twd my head, I'd use my arms to break the fall. That's just me. autumn

    Rollerblading

    yes I use to rollerblade more, and have a pair and want to do it again. It's been too hot this summer but fall is almost here and I will do it when it cools down. I sweat too much in the fall/winter anyway so I think I'd die in the summer if I tried to do it then. I can't wait to do it...

    Spinning Bike Recommendations

    Thanks, my budget is not as generous - I like amazon b/c you don't pay shipping or tax. I bought a elliptical from them & it's fine. Not gym grade, but....I'll have to do the same w/ the bike. I can't afford gym grade, but would like the best I could get for home grade. I'm going to call our...

    Spinning Bike Recommendations

    Ok, dh found some spin bikes in my price range that have good reviews. I put the link below from amazon. I am looking under $500 which was impossible not that long ago. Anyway, I don't want it to be so cheap that I'm not satisfied. I felt positive about these reviews but wanted input if any of...

    It will be hard for me to pull the trigger. We really don't have the $, but it's like found $, I sold my old gold and want something for it. I would like to buy a used one for cheaper but didn't find anything yet. Maybe I'll just keep my eyes on craigsllist for a while.

    need your help re: fitness equipment

    Thanks everybody. :) The theme here is, not the chair. I'm thinking of the bike, but dh said we should get regular bikes and use them instead. But I think there's a difference.
