    Crap--I can't change my username!

    It's b/c of the email addresses. I can't use the old one b/c "Maximus" is using it, but I can't use my yahoo address b/c apparently you can't have an account w/a yahoo address. Oh well. x(

    So I'm thinking about changing my screen name

    Especially after the road trip. I really want you guys to think of me by my real name instead of by my dog's name. :P Actually my favorite screen name is "Too Sense." Is that like the coolest screen name you've ever heard? But, I'm thinking of just going with LauraMax to avoid future...

    Roadtrippers--remember Mount Laurel?

    They have a job opening I just applied for (deputy town manager). I think I'm a really strong candidate for it & I'm really torn--I absolutely love where I live now, & I have family & friends here. But I also have family & friends there, plus it's where I grew up. What to do, what to do...

    Anyone do Core Max barefooted?

    Seems I'm always barefoot when I do Core Max, mostly b/c I do it on my off days so I'm kicking back at home in my sweats. Also b/c I alternate Core Max w/pilates, which of course is always done barefoot. But I think I'm cheating. Sneakers weigh what, 2-3 lbs? Levitation holds are a piece...

    Cathe--who inspires you?

    Linda Hamilton in T2 was what got me into working out. Then Mia Finnegan was my hero, until I "met" you, & now of course I strive to be half as buff as you are........:) Anyway, I was just curious who inspired you to start, and who/what inspires you to continue working so hard. Whatever or...

    Need advice on sheets!

    I have this awesome set of Eddie Bauer sheets in ivory, bought them years ago & now they're so soft & comfy, but of course they're ivory & I have 2 dogs so they're in need of serious replacement. Eddie Bauer doesn't sell sheets anymore & I'm having a really hard time finding some with a high...

    OK, I am taking my life back RIGHT NOW!!!!!

    Men & women in happy relationships, let me suggest you ignore this post. So for the last few months I have been going through a pretty ugly breakup. Not to go into details, I'll just say it's a long story with a very unhappy ending. So I think I had an epiphany this week. WTH am I doing...

    Janet Jackson has ruined my wardrobe.

    OK this is my latest fashion rant. Has anyone else noticed how much more conservative the latest fashions are? No more belly baring tops. The "boyfriend fit" jeans are more popular than slim fit. Super low rise jeans are on their way out. "Blouson" tops, dolman sleeves, baggy shirts are now...

    So I tried my first live kickbox class over the w/e

    It was very high intensity but totally uncreative. She only used 3 basic kickbox moves--jab, cross & front kick. Mixed in with a lot of lunges, squats & jacks. Twice during the workout she did these jumping front kick drills where we just did the kicks for supposedly a minute, but it seemed...

    Crap. He's doing it to me again.

    Boss brought his 9 YO daughter in this morning & dumped her on me. I just don't get this. I work for municipal government. I am not a babysitter. Have these people never heard of daycare?

    The most bizarre thing happened to me yesterday.......

    I was pulling into the parking lot of my grocery store right after I left the gym. The lot has spaces like this, you know, where two rows of cars park facing each other: -l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l- So I'm pulling into one spot & this old lady in a brand new Mercedes SUV is pulling into the...

    The way clothes fit..........

    makes me crazy! I swear they're made for people who are completely out of shape. Whenever I buy tops I have to get mediums b/c my shoulders & arms aren't a size 2 like the rest of me. So it's always snug in the shoulders & arms but huge from like my armpits down. And with pants I have a...

    Cathe--which is better for building glutes?

    I can't seem to build any size on my rear end no matter what I do.....right now my leg workout consists of heavy squats & lunges on the smith machine, heavy leg presses, extensions & curls. Last night someone was hogging the leg press so I tried the glute builder (aka the butt blaster)--you...

    Cathe, have you ever seen this exercise?

    It must be for obliques, I can't imagine what other muscle group it would work, although who can tell these days with the wacky stuff trainers keep coming up with. Anyway, at the gym last night I saw a woman doing this: She sat towards the rear of a bench, upper body leaning back at an...

    Cathe--rear delt definition

    Hi Cathe--I've asked this in open discussion & from a variety of other sources as well, but I'd really like your feedback. Recently at my gym someone mentioned to me that I had good shoulder definition, except in my rear delts. So we turn around & flex, & he's got this great line going down...

    OK that's it--my VCR SUCKS!

    This morning it broke RS. The 3rd VHS it broke during the last few months. WTH? I guess it's time to go all-DVD. I've been replacing them bit by bit, but I just can't take this anymore. There's nothing worse than being in the middle of a workout & having it bail on you. x(

    Carushka is back

    I used to love their clothes. What happened? They revamp & now everything bores the daylights out of me. Or maybe I've just been spoiled by KOS USA & One Step Ahead.
