    !st Timer-Cardio Coach Recommendation

    Thanks all for the suggestions...that's kind of what I figured, but was mostly worried that I wouldn't benefit as much without the ability to adjust my incline. I think I'll watch for a special and then give it a try! :)

    !st Timer-Cardio Coach Recommendation

    My sole form of indoor cardio (since I work out at home) is an elliptical machine with intensity levels that can be adjusted but no incline level options. Which CC would be the best one to try for the first time? I'm afraid I'll be limited by my equipement. Thanks for the advice!

    >...the answers to most of life's problems are simple. Very simple. Amen to that...however simple doesn't necessarily mean easy. Kudos to you for all of your hard work and success!

    whey protein

    My absolute favorite combo right now is 1 scoop BSN Dessert Protein, Banana Nut Bread flavor, blended with a frozen banana and 1 cup skim milk (I also blend in a few ice cubes). MMmmm...can't get enough! :9

    Excuse me?

    Socially inept and trying his darndest to be "friendly" no doubt. Some people simply don't know how to connect. I work with a guy that just yammers on and on, obviously wanting to be liked and completely unaware of how annoying he is...I feel for ya'!

    Twin Cities MN Get-Together Saturday Aug. 23rd?

    Ditto on the anniversary celebration for me too that weekend. 12 years for us. Sounded fun, but there's no reason we can't all hook up again sometime, right? Hope everyone has fun! :-)

    In Which A-Jock Learns To Drive

    Yoo hoo & hooray! Good for you! Just so you know, I've been driving for 26 years and still can't be trusted to parallel park decently. I just try to avoid situations calling for that particular skill and will probably continue to since a Lexus isn't likely to be in my future. You're...

    It's too nice out to be in such a funk...

    Thanks for your words of encouragement, Annette. You're right, the small tasks make a difference too. Weed pulling helped. I know everything will get done eventually...I'm just having a pity party. I HATE it when I lose my genie in a bottle! G

    It's too nice out to be in such a funk...

    I just re-read my post and... Let me just add that I have no business feeling so sorry for myself and should be grateful...my DH and I watched the tornado that destroyed homes and lives in Hugo last week as it moved across a field about a thousand feet behind our house. And no, we shouldn't...

    It's too nice out to be in such a funk...

    Nancy's earlier post about going shred crazy really hit a nerve for me. The clutter and junk in life just seems to be too much sometimes. What frustrates me is that I'm really not a shopper and I get rid of things all the time, and yet I look around my house (even after a purge session) and...

    Out of Control: does this ever happen to you?

    You're certainly not the only maniac...I cut my hair short. I get claustrophobic when it's longer and it tangles up on my pillow when I try to sleep. My current fantasy is living a monastic-type life where I have a small bed in a small room with a window, clean linens and fresh air. I tend...

    Protein absorbed per meal?

    Maybe this will help. I don't know how different requirements are between men & women. http://www.strengthcats.com/NNprotein-faq.htm

    Kettlebells?

    My budget took a bit of a nosedive for now...I'll have to wait a bit, but I'm so glad to hear all of the positive opinions on the kettlebells and have checked out the sites suggested by all. Your cellulite testimonial really gets me excited because I'm REALLY tired of mine! I'm looking...

    The Pianist (2002)

    I agree Janie...this is one of the best movies I've ever seen! Hard to watch, but the film was beautifully written and filmed. Ginny

    any suggestions on how to blast that lower belly bulge???

    RE: any suggestions on how to blast that lower belly bu... I hear what you're saying about the beef. I'm not sure what "regular basis" means. If it's 6 ounces every 2 weeks, I don't have much of a problem with that. Personally, I don't like to eat more than 3-4 ounces of beef more often than...

    Almonds? Am i crazy?!?!

    There's a whole line of flavored almonds that Blue Diamond makes and they're available just about everywhere. My current favorite is Wasabi & Soy Sauce, but there are many good ones to choose from. Also good are dry-roasted almonds. Sometimes I'll have six almonds and six m&m's (or chocolate...

    I FOUND HER!!! I FOUND HER!!!!

    What a relief!!! I'm so happy for you (and her too!) that she's back. The "wilderness" can be such a scary place for a kitty.
