Ok, I only have one really big pet peeve. Those persons (mostly female) who find it necessary to wear tons of fragrance to spin class. Now I realize that perfume/cologne is generally a preferred smell as compared to BO, but... when one sweats, the perfumy smell gets much stronger, thereby...

Congratulations, Honeybunch!!! How absolutely awesome! I'm sure you'll impart nothing but the best both to your class participants and PT clients. I may have to go and check out my local Y, if they're hiring persons of your caliber. And hey, you can still catch all those late night replays...

Platemates Hiya there! Just let me add a second (or is it a third or fourth) vote for Platemates. I purchased mine (I got a 5/8 lb set and 1.25 lb set in the hex style and the same increments in the donut style for barbells) a few years ago and absolutely love the versatility these provide...

Hi Susan! Ok, this might be of no use, but for me, I find the key to doing all weight lifting exercises properly is visualization. The lat row is actually one that I figured out on my own long ago (as opposed to others that I got right here!). Ok, I picture myself getting onto a bus and...

Ok, it IS legal to make a duplicate of a tape that you purchased for your own personal use, isn't it? We've just recently purchased a condo in FL and after spending 10 days there with only the beach and walking trails to use (exercise room has two of the worst treadmills known to man!) and one...

My check in! Hello everybody! Sounds like everyone is doing really well, even when life happens. Way to go!!! I'm just on a roll, eating and exercising are in sync, for once! (I'm sure I don't need to tell anyone here what a rarity that can be!) Ok, this was my non-CTX week and the second...

Great news, Debbie! Don't be sorry for posting it here, my news took up half of my check-in post! ;-) Congratulations!!! Your grandchild will have an excellent role model in his/her grandma. Did your daughter plan her due date? My son had a teacher who had a baby in the middle of the school...

Thanks everyone! Hi everyone and thanks for all the well wishes for my sister-in-law's delivery! My brother-in-law did indeed make it home (in plenty of time) and they have a 8 lb 8 oz son born at 2:20 on Sunday afternoon. She had him totally natural (vaginal birth vs. c-section as she had...

Check in-good week! Hi all! Thanks for starting this Aimee! I've been up since 5:30am when my brother-in-law called me to say he was on his way home from up north with my son because my sister-in-law is in labor! This is their second child and she went into labor last time when he was up...

Emotion Icons Hi Bobbi! I have a Mac and can use the emotions just fine. I usually just go to the short cut page and copy and paste the shortcut. Pull up the short cut page, highlight the emotion icon shortcut you want (the symbols, not the picture), click back to your message and paste. It...

Thanks so much! Daphne, you're a peach! I'll check out the Fairmont and the SF Visitors Center site. Thanks for giving me a direction to go in, I was clueless. What's the weather like in early January anyhow? I'm planning on taking my mom (surprise Xmas gift) to the MacWorld Expo there...

San Francisco Hi Daphne! I need your help, have you been to SF before and if so where do you like to stay? I'm planning a trip there in Janurary and need some good hotel references. I'd like somewhere within walking distance to the Moscone Center and price is of little concern, I'd love...

CTX rotation Hi Julie! I haven't really moved on from CTX, just alternating weeks with other stuff so I don't go out of my mind! I love the tapes, but 4 weeks of the same thing is the absolute most I can handle. Results be damned! Actually, I did notice some good results early on, but then...

Hi Debbie! Thanks for the cyber pat re IMAX, I needed it. No, I didn't get to go bike riding. We have a bike rack, but it's for a Reese hitch (the big square one) and my hubby took the truck up north with him. I thought if I took my front wheel off I could fit it in my trunk, but that was a...

I want one!! How does one go about getting/making a signature? I just love everyone's on VF when I visit there. Looks like a lot of folks are just transferring their's over from there. But what if you don't have one at all. Someone please take pity on me! Elizabeth Kelly :-)
