    The "Everything About P90X" Thread

    RE: The To add: - I found the legs to be effective as well. - didn't do the eating plan at all and still had amazing results - I fell in love with the more traditional style of lifting on P90X. Lifting heavy 8-10 reps just works for my body. I tried for ages to get bigger with more...

    Does your family workout too?

    DH goes through stages. Right now he's so busy splitting and stacking wood and doing other things around the property that he's getting plenty of exercise. And he's always up for a hike or walk. My mom and dad do the treadmill, sort of, and have recently asked me for some strength pointers...

    family woes for the holidays!

    Delfin, So sorry to hear you are going through this, especially over the holidays. <<hugs>>. FWIW, my first thought is that if it were me I'd stay with my DH for the day, as I consider him my primary concern and loyalty is to him. And, as much as I too would not want to disappoint my mom...

    Just Shocked

    I've totally stayed out of this so far, mainly because I am one of the evil disloyal people :P who cancelled her preorder (because I knew I would be moving, and since we had no ship date or even filming date, I didn't want it to slip through the cracks when I changed addresses), but I wanted to...

    Anyone roast pumpkin seeds??

    Try this: Take pumpkin seeds and place them in a pot of water with a little salt. Bring to a boil and let them go for about 15 minutes. Then drain, pat dry and toss with olive oil, paprika and salt. Roast in 400 degree oven for about 30 minutes, until golden brown. Add more salt once they...

    Mature women putting themselves down

    TK, that's what I always think too, when I see people younger than myself who can't walk a flight of stairs and are already on meds. And I'm only 37 (as of last week!) so these others are barely into their thirties! I have several overweight cousins, all younger, and it just makes me sad to...

    DH has me wondering....maybe I'm just being paranoid......

    RE: DH has me wondering....maybe I'm just being paranoi... Carrie, I don't think you are insecure. IMO (without really knowing anything about you or your DH) I think your husband is sending up major red flags. Basically he: - contacted a woman on the internet, while living away from you...

    Do you feel that you are obsessive about working out?

    I would have said yes, except that I have been quite calm during my recent injuries. I freaked for about one day, and then just took time off and went with the flow. Much nice this way. That said, I do love my workouts and miss them. Sparrow My garden is filled with papayas and mangos...

    Advice please....(a little long)

    Carrie, how fast can you learn Korean? Kidding!! My advice would be to write a letter to the Dean. I know you've already spoken to him but sometimes things seem more dire in writing. Point out your excellent academic record (if you can get other students to join you on the letter, all the...

    Getting back to exercise......

    Becky, Sorry to hear of your illness but glad you are on the mend. I have been out for a couple of weeks with injuries (hurt my wrist then really hurt my back). It's nothing as serious as yours, but, if it helps, I am starting back with yoga and walks. Sparrow My garden is filled...

    Never ever, ever give up....

    Never ever, ever give up....

    I go for carbs when stressed. Slice of processed white bread, big gob of mayo on top, salt and pepper. This is more of a fantasy though because the only white bread I ever have in the house is homemade and even that's rare. When I do have it I slather butter all over it. Sparrow My...

    Youth and Travel

    Laurie, My family lived overseas from the time I was twelve, when my parents moved to Saudi Arabia. It was the single most amazing experience of my life, living in a culture so completely different from this one. I've thanked my parents many times for having the courage to make such a huge...

    Friend seeing married man?

    Interesting discussion. I respect everyone's opinion. I also think there is a difference between condoning a friend's behavior and standing by the friendship. I have made it clear to friends in this situation that I was not willing to discuss affair details (as in, "Oh John and I had a great...

    Friend seeing married man?

    This is not a hypothetical for me. A friend of mine took up with another man while married to her husband, who was also a friend of mine. Her husband then took up with her best friend. They are now divorced (the original couple). Do I condone it? Hell, no, and they know it. But I'm still...
