    Hi all! I'm going on my first camping trip soon and know I will need some insect repellent. I'm not up on this stuff at all and would like to know if anyone has recommendations. I'd prefer something without too many chemicals! TIA

    A Fantastic Bra

    I'm always on the hunt for the perfect bra, and I think I may have found it. I picked up a DKNY underwire bra at Nordstrom today. It is so ridiculously comfortable, lined not padded, and super smooth. Just thought I'd share: http://www.barenecessities.com/product.asp?pf_id=DKNY453429

    Who wants to diagnose me? Migraines?

    Last night, I felt terribly nauseous and had a headache. I've had this type of headache before but not for quite some time. The last time I had them, I got them a few times a month for many months, and I thought maybe I had a TMJ disorder, because the pain is on one side. It feels like it is...

    Swimwear time- Underwire?

    So...it's about that time. I haven't been swimming in years, but I think I should have a suit on hand just in case. I'd prefer a tankini with an underwire top. Any suggestions? TIA

    Pilates with Ankle Weights

    Sooo...I've always enjoyed pilates, but lately it just doesn't feel like a challenge. Since I don't feel like spending money on new videos, I decided to use ankle weights with my current windsor pilates DVDs. Wow. It made such a difference. I could feel my lower abs engaged so much more. Has...

    What's the difference between ACOA and Al-Anon meetings?

    Hi all, I'm having some, shall we say, issues, resurface and I think it would be good if I went to a meeting like Al-Anon or ACOA. I am trying to learn about each, and I am wondering if anyone knows what the difference between them is. Thanks!

    I love REI

    Does anyone shop there? I went for the first time today and loved it. They have such fantastic brands and all sorts of cute workout gear. It reminds me of Nordstrom in terms of customer service. Cool place!

    High Triglycerides

    Well, I'm freaking out. I got a call from my doc's office saying my bloodwork showed high triglycerides. They recommend I eat a low fat diet and exercise more. Now, I'm really confused, because I am a vegetarian, nearly vegan, and already have a low fat diet. Most of the fat I consume is the...

    HIIT + One Part Per Day - Which First?

    Hey all, For my next rotation, I am planning on doing one body part per day with weights plus four or five days of HIIT. When I do weights and HIIT on the same day, which should come first? Is one sequence most effective? TIA :)

    Best Shoulder Stretches?

    Hello all! Lately, my shoulders have been terribly sore after workouts. I feel like I need a good stretch, and the pulling your arm across your chest just doesn't do it for me. Are there other more effective shoulder stretches? TIA

    "How to be Honest All the Time"

    I thought this was such a good little story that I had to share. There are definitely some lines in here that I'd like to remember! "How to be Honest All the Time" by Erin Pavlina When I was in grade school I really enjoyed lying. Not the white lies you tell your mom when you ate cookies...

    Benefit of Endurance + Strength Rotation?

    Hi everyone, When I do a rotation, I usually choose strength or endurance. I am wondering if there is any benefit to doing a strength and endurance combo rotation. For example, PH one day a week and PS series one day a week (although that would be a really long workout!). What do you think?

    “The Wagon” Checkin 4/18

    Evening all! Today was not so great for me. By seven tonight, I had only eaten a bowl of cereal and some cantaloupe. I was sooo hungry, so I had two cheese sandwiches for dinner. I know I didn’t eat enough yesterday, and this just sets me up for failure, so I really need to watch it. I’m not...
