Hilarious! I'm Loopy Appletush (Mrs. Appletush, sounds like a librarian).

I'd be afraid to try, especially if I plan on working out. My body needs fuel if I am to function in any capacity. If I go too long without something, my brain goes "bye bye", my vision starts to get weird, I get the cold sweats, and turn into a total loony. I know everyone is different (and...

Hmm-It must be fate. I am moving from Louisiana to Nevada and my old cable lineup didn't have Fit TV, but the new one does, and they are hooking it up on the 30th. Awesome. Lori :-)

I have the Rob Glick Cardio Fusion DVD and love it. It is a blast. It has 3 different types of workouts so the moves vary. I absolutely love the sports/athletic drills section. I really didn't like the BOSU at first, but I stuck with it and mixed it in with my Cathe workouts. It makes for a...

I plan on learning how to cycle (to keep up with my DH) and go hiking when I move to the Reno/Lake Tahoe area in a few weeks. There isn't much to do here in small town south Louisiana, so I am psyched to try all kinds of new sports, especially skiing this winter. Lori :-)

I agree with the confidence thing. I always "hear" Cathe say, "Oh yes you can" when I feel uncomfortable or challenged in any way. I also feel strong, healthy, and ready to take on anything. I never thought something as simple as consistent exercise would make such a difference. I think it...

Danna, Thanks for the housing heads up. I will be checking it all out next week during my trip, and I'm sure I'll find something decent. Have a nice weekend! :) Lori

Think very hard about it. I switched from Ortho Tricyclen to Alesse last year with disastrous results. There wasn't enough estrogen in them and it made me worse, skin breakouts, hair falling out, terrible mood swings. I don't know if Yasmine is the same as Alesse, but if it is, ask lots of...

RE: One thing to keep...... Thanks, I will check them out. I can't wait to move. I've been looking at apartments for now, until we can decide on (and afford )a house. Now, I just have to get my husband a job.... Lori :):)

RE: One thing to keep...... Trevor, I hear that! It seems like a lot of cost depends on construction labor costs. I noticed it was much cheaper to buy a home in Texas, maybe its a land availability thing. Who knows. Dani-I guess I'm doing something right-I've managed to get 3 interviews...

RE: One thing to keep...... Dani, Thanks again for your input. I'm actually going out to visit on April 7-8 and plan to visit several of the casinos employment offices and maybe even some employment agencies. Hopefully someone can match me up with something. I'm just ready for a change and...

RE: Can you function without excercising? I've found myself enjoying my two scheduled rest days/week. I usually do some yoga or a light walk, housework, etc. just to stay busy. My body definitely appreciates it though. Lori

RE: One thing to keep...... Thanks for your replies. Dani, I am in entry level management/admin & accounting support right now. I just graduated Magna Cum Laude with a liberal arts degree, but am pretty flexible as to what I can do. I've held steady full time employment for the last ten...

I grew up in San Antonio. Its a diverse, friendly city with lots of culture and activities. There are lots of beautiful areas too, and the Riverwalk is a blast. The only thing I've never liked--very hot summers, but, that is pretty typical anywhere in Texas. My sister lives in Austin and...

Hi fellow fitness fans. (As a non-traditional student)I just graduated from college and really want to relocate to Reno, I just loved it last year when I visited. I am having trouble trying to land a job out there. Does anyone have any advice or suggestions on where to look or how to relocate...

I have the same problem if I eat fruit by itself. If I want fruit for a snack, I'll have a little piece of cheese or a handful of almonds with it. It helps keep my blood sugar from rising too rapidly. Plus, it gives me great energy, especially for a workout. Trail mix is good too. I noticed...

Hi Karen! I'm the same body type, meso, athletic, etc. I'm 32. I noticed when I added weights to my routine a few years ago I had a drastic increase in appetite too. I think my metabolism kicked up to another level and my body was trying to maintain. If you really are hungry, I would go...

I think if you can take out the emotional charge out of food, it becomes easier see it more as fuel for the body and less as a reward. I grew up all around body issue/image problems (gymnastics for 10 years) and learned (the hard way)how eating properly helped me as an athlete. I try to apply...

Good morning all. I did a fun kickboxing medley. I did Timesaver 4 (cardio only), then CK power drills and finished with CK cardio(just the cardio part, skipped the warmup). It lasted a little over an hour, and I felt thoroughly worked out. This will definitely give you your kickboxing fix...

A few weeks ago, I had to travel out of town to care for my sick father (who is recovering now, thank goodness!) A friend of mine gave me guest pass the the local gym because she thought it would be good for me to keep up with my workouts. After 2 days of just sticking to the ellipticals and...
