Hi ladies: For those of you who suffer the blues, are they worse in the morning?? And what do you do to get around them (other than or in addition to medication, if that applies). I value your input. Thanks in advance.

OMG!!! I'm speechless!! There's no way I have that much exercise stuff, so let's just see: original firm steps, 10" and 14" dumbells to 20# plus an adjustable one 2 barbells, one loaded at 25# and the other from 35 - 45#. TV/VCR/DVD just for my gym ipod shuffle Polar HRM treadmill...

Anne: This is not a fresh, unique thought :P , but I would strongly suggest you go straight out and buy two books - Eat to Live, by Furhman, and Thrive, by Brendan Brazier. Both of these books offer a compelling, compelling reason to eat only plant foods, which give you major nutrients...

Absolutely, yes. I find some of my best stuff in the Juniors' Dept. and wear them all the time.

Yah, yah, and all that. I know exactly what you mean, Laura. I've already posted that I'm doing this high intensity interval thing via Mackie Shilstone in New Orleans where I cranked WAY down in week one to an almost unbearably easy level of working out. As the days and weeks progress the...

Lorrie: I got it from Mackie Shilstone's Lean and Hard Workout book. Check him out more at mackieshilstone.com. I'm in the middle of doing his Lean and Hard training, which is high intensity intervals and weights. My body fat came out to 10.6%, which sounds low, but I'm a scrawny thing!!!:7

Marcia: Here is what would make me want to join your club: 1. roomy weight room with plenty of free weights, situp mats and mirrors. And a water cooler and towels. 2. nice shower room with towels and a few nice bath toys like nice shower gels and lotions and hair dryers and a weight...

Becky: Have you heard of recommendation to eat fat foods when recovering from a stomach flu? Like butter on crackers? So it coats your stomach? Just wondering what the modern thought is on that. When my boys and I had the rota virus a number of years ago, the senior pediatrician and one...

Robin: I'll start collecting dry cow poo and send it to you for your basement plantation! Great idea. Whew.

Hey all you gurus: Does anyone know if there is a connection between muscle soreness and protein consumption? I ask because I have always had low protein consumption and am just about never sore no matter how intense and heavy my workouts are. (And my muscles don't look big,either, although...

Gayle: Check out my thread on Mackie Shilstone from a couple of days ago. That is the program. Charlotte

Michelle: I have Intense Moves and Extreme Step and have loved both of them for several years. They are nicely intense and give you an excellent workout. I really like Gin Miller - very self-drepecating and inspiring. Just a cool person, like Cathe. Here is where I'm going to differ...

Tracey: Interesting. I also have been doing circuits/intervals/heavy for the past few months. It works!! I am in week one (end of it) of the Hard & Lean program. I actually met in New Orleans with Mackie's nutritionist and worked with his trainer for the first few days, then took the...

Has anyone read Mackie Shilstone's new boo, Lean and Hard? Has anyone had any experience with Mackie's programs? He is a trainer in New Orleans who has trained a number of pro boxers and taken them to the next level and, more recently, started a couple of different training programs for us...

Brigitterenee: I immediately got pregnant while trying to prevent it on the "rhythm method" to which you refer. It was a bummer at the time because I was only 21 and a newlywed. Ah well! And my hat is off to anyone who has mastered the diaphrammy whammy as my husband and I called it. That...

Chastity: With a name like yours, you BETTER NOT have a 44DDD!!!! LOL!!:o Please remind me what sort of surgery Tanner had. Poor little baby...

Peeps are icky. I hold out for the candy corn pumpkins at Halloween!! Now, those are GOOD STUFF!!

Is anyone else an old-fashioned down pillow person? I usually end up sleeping on my back with my down pillow setting on my stomach and nothing under my head. It feels really good on my back that way and doesn't seem to bother my neck.

Hey everyone! You know, I remember your post about breaking your ribs around Thanksgiving, now that you mention it. OWWW!! So, you go woman and loose those last 6 pounds - I'm doing the same thing! And have stuck to one glass a night for 4 whole nights in a row!! I see my hard-earned abs...
