    Urinary sling procedure

    My husband works in the medical device business-specifically urology, urogynecology, and gynecology. Patient outcomes vary mostly because of surgeon experience. This procedure is great but you need to have it performed by a urogynecologist or urologist that has done at least 10-15. They...

    Undulating rotation, anyone start this yet?

    I just finished m1...I guess that would be the second week. So far, its fabulous! Starting M1 again, I thought that it would be a piece of cake....but it isn't! It's just as hard as the first time, and I certainly feel the DOMS.

    Sleep bra?

    I saw a sleep bra on one of those home shopping network channels...dang, I can't remember which one...QVC or HSN...it was butt-ugly but it was being advertised as a sleep bra so if you don't care what it looks like, maybe look there.

    Coconut Oil

    I got mine at the health food store...they had lots to choose from. I got the virgin, unrefined oil, which is very white. I still am confused about the nutritiousness (is that a word?) of this oil, though. Is it clean? Good for you? Bad? I have found articles that support good and articles...

    Coconut Oil

    You know, I thought it was going to be hard to get out of my hair, but it WASN'T! It came right out and left my hair noticeably softer and less frizzy. I love it on my skin, but even more, I like to eat it plain out of the jar. I know that sounds gross, but it is just so creamy and yummy...

    Coconut Oil

    Okay, I purchased a jar of coconut oil on my SIL's advice. She said that it is a great moisturizer for skin and hair, but my question is: it is good (healthy/clean) to cook with and eat? I have tried to find the answer on the internet, but there are conflicting messages. Some people say that...

    Early Risers do you eat before working out?

    On Tuesdays and Thursdays I have to workout at 5am and I DO need coffee, but cannot eat anything that early. On MWFS, I eat a protein (egg, shake, yogurt) and I usually try for a fruit or veggie.

    weird precision nutrition blog entry

    Yup, I did see that line...at the end of the entry. I'm not saying that this was a totally chauvinistic piece, but there was something about it that rubbed me the wrong way......

    weird precision nutrition blog entry

    You know, the language of this entry IS faintly insulting although I can't put my finger on the reason. Maybe it's the condescendng tone or the "you need to show your woman the way" attitude. Either way, my lip was slightly curled reading it.

    For those who own pace weights....

    I bought the nine.....and then had to go back and order the 18 because 9 just wasn't enough! I love them though....I have two plateweights also, and they are not as good for the STS series 'cause the magnet isnt strong enough to stick to all of my weights.

    Quotes

    When I am tempted to overindulge, I think to myself: "Nothing tastes as good as being healthy feels". I didn't come up with this, but I certainly quote it to myself many times:D!

    Ab Circuits reviews, anyone?

    I did the med ball routine that has additional partner exercises with my daughter last night and guess what....It was awesome! My daughter doesn't really like exercising with me, but I begged her 'cause I needed a partner. It was fun and we were giggling throughout the whole thing. It included...

    How much does weight affect your happiness?

    Your post really struck a chord. My weight is totally tied to my hapiness. If I'm up, I'm sad, mad, unhappy, bitter, depressed, and feel just plain ugly. If I'm down, it's just the opposite. I think that a large part of who I am in my head is the "healthy woman" who works out and watches...

    diet and exercise obsession

    Maybe you saw my post before about working out despite injuring my shoulder, so yea......I think I am leaning towards the obsessed side. I too, try to have balance and not get so crazy about working out, but when my husband talks about planning something, my FIRST thought is, "When will I get...

    Shoulder injury - but afraid to stop UB weights

    Thanks everyone for your replies! I guess what is stopping me from seeking treatment is the fact that, from what I have heard, it takes quite a long time to heal from shoulder injuries. Sometimes, even months! I don't want to stop lifting for that long. Wahhhhh......
