Wow, Kathryn ... that sounds friggin' phenomenal! Expensive, but I'll have to try it one of these days. Thanks! Alana_as, I would imagine the banana and berries make it just as sweet as it needs to be, depending on how sweet they are. (Never even heard of gojis.) The chia seeds definitely...

Yes, that's true. I completely agree. If I don't have something fairly substantial, my energy is just not there. I do something like a baked potato (great!) or a peanut butter and "all fruit" sandwich on whole wheat. Was just wondering what other people did. I used to do a handful of cashews...

Oops, I forgot this. Yes, I wholeheartedly agree, as far as the actual training is concerned. But that won't come until after I pass the test! The Fire Department will train all new recruits as we need to be trained. (Just how that works and what we'll do is in the handbook I got, too.) What...

Shucks. Well it's not necessarily cold turkey -- I'd been working out some, just not as regularly as I had when I first started several years back. And it'd been a few months since I'd been working out, before this. So like I said, I was in pretty good shape, and was able to do everything we...

Hi again. I need some ideas, please. I'm kind of disappointed -- I was doing Step Works, but had to stop after 21 minutes or so b/c I'd petered out. My knee was acting up too, but I think if I felt more energetic I would've been able to push through (w/modifications). I'm upset b/c I wasn't...

Hello all! A brief history: Revising my diet and doing almost all Cathe workouts (once I worked up to that level), pilates, and yoga helped me lose 45lbs several years ago, and get in the best shape of my life about 6 years ago. A couple of different serious life events derailed me, and I'd...

Yes, I was totally confused as to where to post. I was like, "well this is surely a challenge!" LOL. Thank you. :~)
