    I love, love, love Low Impact Series!

    I haven't posted on this forum for years, but I have to tell you that this workout series is amazing. I am rapidly approaching 50, just months short of a half century, yikes! I've been doing Cathe's workouts for at least a decade. I love them, but I've been struggling with joint issues lately...

    Do you know anything about Kangen Water?

    My friend has started drinking this water. From the literature it sounds like they monkey with the structure of the water via electolysis to change the PH. The idea is to make the water more alkaline to help bring balance to a person's system. Nutshell, the claim is that as we age our systems...

    Low Max AKA Spagetti Legs!

    I've had this DVD for awhile, but never really done it. I got several at the same time and the choreography challenged me on this one. I just couldn't get the step sweeps for some reason. Got them good today. Something clicked. I did the first 4 intervals today and that was enough. I take my hat...

    We adopted a new dog today!

    I posted on here about a week or so ago that we were thinking of adopting a dog. She's had heartworms, but has gone through treatment. She is precious. Her name is Patsy. She and our dog Buster, a cocker mix, are getting to know each other. They are in the cold shoulder stage right now. She's a...

    Thinking about adopting a 2nd dog

    I had a Lhasa for 16 years and lost her under tragic circumstances. She's been gone a little over a year, and we are thinking of adopting this adorable schnapso, schnauzer/lhasas mix. She is in a foster home right now. The deal is she tested positive for heartworms. She isn't very old(between 1...

    National Parks: The Best Vacation Deal Around

    We just got back from Yellowstone. We froze, but it was breathtaking. All kinds of babies being born. We even saw a grizzly bear! Got some good pictures! It is still relatively cheap! $25 for a 7 day pass for the car, doesn't matter how many people are in it. The camp sites inside Yellowstone...

    Mysterious Allergic Reaction

    I woke up with hives a few days ago. Went to the doc because I'd had a tick bite a few days prior to this reaction. I've done nothing different, but the doc says its not the tick, but an allergic reaction to something. I don't have a big problem with allergies. Is it possible to all the sudden...

    Probiotics confuse me

    There were some articles in the news several months ago, about a connection between the bacteria in your gut and weight gain. The hypothesis was that over abundance of bacteria in your gut makes it too efficient in uptaking calories. I have digestions issues, mostly due to an under active...

    Cute workout clothes

    I just got a new Eddie Bauer catalog. They started selling workout clothes. They are really cute in the picture. I was wondering if anyone's purchased them yet, and what you think about them. Fit, washability, etc. (I love the Eddie Bauer tshirts, but they tend to get short after awhile.)

    Flu Shot

    I am debating whether to get one. I'm a teacher so run a pretty good risk of getting it. I've already been down and out with strep this year. My question is should I have my 7 year old daughter vacinated. She is just getting over strep after a second round of antibiotics and I am kind of afraid...

    Flying phobia

    I have to fly home for my brother's wedding in June. I am freaked. I'm normally a pretty sane person, until it comes to flying. This started before 9-11 by the way. I had a panic attack several years ago on a plane. First one I'd ever had, and the only place I've ever had one. I'd flown home to...

    Words just won't do this one justice....

    It took the couple in this video 8 years to perfect this ballet/ gymnastic routine. It is spectacular. The narration is in French. Hang in there she talks for about a minute. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5lN96dgt_Y

    grab your tissues

    My sister in law sent this to me. I'm mopping the tears as I type. I am so sceptical of all that is going on in Iraq, but the bottom line is, many people have loved ones over there. This is a beautiful prayer om their behalf. http://www.flashdemo.net/gallery/wake/index.htm

    kpc/ slow and heavy

    Would kpc qualify as an interval workout? AND Would I get better results by doing cardio one day and one of the slow and heavy workouts on alternate days, or would doing 30 minutes of cardio and one body region of slow and heavy serve me better. I am trying to lose weight and tone especially my...
