    Need tips for making it through the week

    I'd like to know how you handle getting to bed by 8-830. I get up at 3am yet it's unusual for me to get to bed before 9 or asleep before 10. I'm exhausted by the end of the day. People are always making cracks about my having to get to bed so early, and like tonight we have bible study and I...

    Success with an eating plan??

    Natural Peanut butter on Rice cake works for me. Pop a bag of frozen green beans in the microwave along with a sweet potato and you have a meal. Also a chunk of cheese and an apple, oatmeal for dinner with 3 egg whites cooked in. The beauty of clean food is that it's always available if you...

    P90X Question

    Thanks MsPina, I was just reading MsKrista from Sumptious.com and she suggested the same thing. I still have my firm incline bench. I'll try that in tomorrow's workout. I'm excited. You ladies have given me hope. :-)

    P90X Question

    Thanks Ladies, I can do push-ups on my knees and try to get as prone as possible. I've been doing these for years though but maybe not as persistent as I should. I feel the workout in my chest and even in my abs so maybe I just need to focus more. Thanks!

    P90X Question

    For a little background... I'm 51 w/ about 20 lbs to lose. My goal is to be able to do quality, quantitive big boy push-ups and pull-ups and drop the 20lbs... is it doable? In 90 days? I realize the weight is largely a result of my diet and I'm determined to keep it clean starting...

    Anyone use rhiodola?

    What I used was Rhodiola, not Rhiodola... I'm not sure if they are the same thing or not. Rhodiola is the root of a tree grown in cold climates. Rhodiola rosea is considered an adaptogen, which means it works primarily as an endurance booster. Many Westerners are much more familiar with...

    Anyone use rhiodola?

    I've used it in the past. I've forgotten which brand I bought but I believe it was Wild Oats generic brand... I took it in the afternoons to help with energy lag. I'm not sure it helped all that much though, at least not enough to continue after a few months. What does Dr. Oz say it's good for?

    Help....Bad Habits back (long)

    He's the one zapping you of all your energy. He's the one you need to give up cold turkey. Don't take any more phone calls from him, don't answer any emails, just quit! He doesn't deserve you and surely doesn't deserve your attention. He's trying to string you along because he needs someone...

    hair advice

    Low progesterone will cause hair loss, although I've never heard of it just coming out in one area. I had a friend once whose hair began thinning but hers was genetics, her dad's side of the family all had this. HTH

    Slim Down Lower Body

    There was another thread on this not too long ago that had some good information. You may want to read it. I think the general concensus was to use light weights when working out the lower body and include running. Like you, I tend to carry my weight in my lower body yet can show definition...

    Metabolic Testing?

    I had it done several years ago. You breathe into this breathing machine and it measures you metabolism. I went because I was having difficulty losing weight. They measured that I could have 1800 calories without gaining. They also gave me paperwork and diet materials to keep. I'm sure I...

    Looking for legitimate work at home business

    I think most home based businesses that make any money are those that rely on a specific skill such as transcriptionist, web design, graphic artist etc, ... and even with those you have to go out and sell yourself. There are the others, Arbonne, Avon, Pampered Chef etc... you probably...

    Help! Major Burn Out!!

    It may not be in your head. Did the doctor's check your hormone levels? Low sex hormones such as Estradiol and Testosterone can cause this feeling of 'not being onself'. They can also zap you of your energy and a host of other symptoms. So can high cortisol (this usually happens after a very...

    SUPER tired, run down 45 yr old Catheite

    It could be many things. If it's just since your bout of flu, I would think it was because your body just hasn't recovered yet. But since you are having blood test have them check your estorgen, testosterone, TSH, T4 free & T3 free. You might also try to include 2 bananas each day for extra...
