RE: Suggested lap swimming PLUS workout Yeah, I'm gonna have to pass on the butterfly for now! But I'll give the dolphin kick a go. Fortunatly the swim director is approachable and loves to help you improve. I have to admit I'm a little intimidated because even if I can do all of MIC or IMAX...

Please, please, please tell us all about it when you get back. Going to Italy has become a mild obsession with me as of late. It seems everywhere I turn there is a little tidbit on Italy! Newspapers, magazines, articles, etc! A friend said, "Maybe God is trying to tell you something." I...

Believe it or not, I was going to ask a similar question! We go to the Y twice a week for a homeschool group, and although I've wanted to try lap swimming I've been reluctant to do so because I thought I'd get more fat-burning on the treadmill or eliptical machines. This has been very helpful...

I felt like that last week after doing the Oct. rotation and ended up doing Cardio&Weights on tues. and that was it until the following Monday! On the days off I had a raging headache, I was so sore, my diet stunk, and I gained a couple of pounds. I started up again this Mon. and felt strong...

I know you're all right there with me! So jazzed! I have one buddy at church who is a Catheite and she was excited with me, too. Working out does keep me sane...ask DH! Gotta go! CinDee

I am just so relieved. DH gave me the green light and I ordered inside of a minute! So excited! I had to tell the people who I know would understand my excitement. I know it's just DVDs, I could stay in great shape with what I have...I'm trying to keep it all in perspective in the whole...

Yep. I ended up leaving the last circuit off cuz I was just FRIED! However, in the true spirit of frying, I am repeating week 3 (finishing up this weekend) before moving on to week 4. Really loving this rotation, though. The 4 day split fits my schedule well. CinDee

Well, now that I've thought on this a little more I'll throw in the ones I can think of right now. I LOVE music, so this is really hard... Anything with a latin beat, especially the group Salvador, any mariachi music (the old stuff!), "Mi Tierra" by Gloria Estefan. Praise and...

I'm not even reading your post! I weep when I hear that song...much less read the words. I have 3 boys and I know it would be my cry if anything happened to them, yet I know the One I trust would have them (has them) in the hollow of His hand. Watercolor Ponies by Wayne Watson also causes the...

Hi there Janice. I was out of town for a few days but thought I'd reply just in case you were still checking on this thread. BSN will take more time, but I agree with FitnessGoddess that it will afford the most opportunity, possibilities for advancement, and further schooling (masters, etc.)...

RE: ANNETTE! I laughed out loud! Not expecting that one! CinDee

Milk, a teaspoon of brown sugar, and LOTS of cinnamon! Every morning! CinDee

No protein drinks? Well, that throws a wrench in it. It's not that I don't like eggs...I do, but usually at lunch or dinner. I have back to back birthday parties this weekend and although I'm going to be strict, I'm not going to exclude any foods. That just would be too much at a birthday...

Belive it or not, I didn't even think of using a protein shake. Duh. I may try that. And as of Sunday, I have 12 to 14 days in a row where I can be in complete control, so this could work. CinDee

My weight has climbed about 7 lbs. since summer and the scale just won't budge, so I thought I'd shock the system with the SB diet and lose the pounds. However, the thought of eggs in the morning, much less for 14 MORNINGS, is just plain icky to me. I'm and oatmeal kind of girl (the...

RE: Kinda off topic, of those of you who homeschool you... Our boys are just about the same ages! My eldest is 11, my middle boy will be 9 in December, and the "baby" (don't tell him I said that!) just turned 7. It's wild with 3 boys and a daddy in the house...noise, mess, and wrestling just...

On Tuesday and Thursday we go to the YMCA for a homeschool program where the kids (3 boys) take swim for one hour and P.E. for the other. I'm required to help one hour, but I have the other hour free so I'm able to grab a workout on the treadmill. I'm going to start taking the spinning class...

RE: Yoga & cycling Thank you for all the info. I went out on my bike just for a bit to get used to my shoes/pedals (fell twice, bruised but not much else!) and my sit bones are quite sore, so we went to get shorts today. I picked up a pair of Pearl Izumi Attack shorts. The panel is sewn in...

I haven't ordered the Blast series yet, either. My hubby knows I'm just salivating over the pics and check every day for new details on the forums, but he hasn't said if it's in our budget or not. My birthday is about 3 weeks away, and I told him that all I want--from him, parents, sister...

Again, you all are great! If you think of anything else, let me know! I'll be checking...and Trevor, if you have any "guy" advice for my DH we'd appreciate it! Thank you all! CinDee
