Sorry, I guess I'm missing what your question is exactly. You really won't lose much muscle in 6 weeks. It takes a full month of bed rest for your muscles to begin to atrophy, so I think you're well in the clear as far as that goes. Muscle memory is just the myosin in the muscles...

I had a bunionectomy a few years back. I had my big toe broken and screws insterted to keep the bone straight. I came back really fast - of course, I was 25 at the time which helped. I was actually running at 6 weeks with a small amount of discomfort for a couple hours following (ok'd by my...

I don't really have any information for you except to say that you might want to cut out the middle man and look at actually lab studies. You can search for them here at http://scholar.google.com/ In my opinion, it's much easier to take these for face value than an article based on the study...

Has anyone noticed that a lot of the jeans out there are made for people w/ stick legs? I have such a hard time finding jeans that fit in the waist/hip AND have enough room in the thigh/butt. The best two brands that I've found are Paige Premium Denim (Laurel Canyon style) and Abercrombie &...

Has she started more activity lately? I get leg cramps a few days after I've been running sometimes, particularly when I've done a lot of leg work that week. Just a thought. You could try giving her a sports drink. Gatorade has the best ratio of sodium, potassium, and chloride. When an...

RE: Will you watch the Academy Awards show this year? I just looked at the nominees. I haven't seen a single movie that was nominated for Best Picture. Of all the films I've seen this year, only 2 hav Can't say "I wouldn't miss it", I could take it or leave it really. I'm going to Tivo it and...

Are you eating some protein at breakfast? I know if I eat just cereal or oatmeal I'll be hungry again in an hour, so I have to have some almonds w/ my cereal or an egg on toast. HTH

Is the caliper automated some how? I've never seen calipers that need programming. Calipers testing is not really pleasant, it should hurt a little, bruising seems a little excessive though. The tanita scales are really sensitive to water levels so you should use it at the same time of...

Another vote for Almay Bright Eyes mascara! It has a great brush with bristles that are a little longer on one side. I have one of those mascara combs in case I get heavy handed, I don't have to use it often w/ the Bright Eyes mascara. I've also found that waterproof mascara clumps much more...

Cathe and crew are just using hand wraps to keep their wrists in proper alignment. Some people here do use weighted gloves but I wonder about joint strain on the shoulders and elbows.

I too was expecting more. A friend of mine saw it in the theater and said it was funnier than Old School (which we saw together in the theater), I thought Old School was worlds funnier... I really think having an audience laughing along w/ the jokes makes a comedy more enjoyable. I did really...

We just didn't include "and family" or the children's names on the invites, everyone caught on except my one cousin who wanted to bring her 13 year old girls - I said no (actually my mom did :))- she and her husband said they couldn't make it b/c they wouldn't be able to find a babysitter. It...

I like Pantene. I've been using the smooth and sleek pantene for years - I also alternate that with herbal essence clarifying shampoo once a week. I read a while ago, can't remember where, an article on shampoos and several high end stylists recommended Pantene as best drug store shampoo...

I used it over Thanksgiving while visiting my in-laws. I still got a full fledged cold but I always felt a little better after taking it and the cold only lasted 5 days. I recently read that the makers of Zicam are being sued by a lot of people who have suffered sinus damage from it... kind of...

I agree with Christine about keeping up w/ the kickbox workouts. All those kicks are considered dynamic stretches and dynamic stretching is one of the best ways to improve flexibility. I've seen a huge improvement in my lower body flexibility since adding one Kbox workout per week - Kickmax is...

I just got the Ipod Nano for xmas from DH - it's really easy to use! I also got the arm band so I can run with it on :) All you need is a 2.0 USB port (or a card) for your computer (we have PC). iTunes is also really easy to use. I had a napster MP3 player - one of the 1st ones they came...

Muscularly she looks much better in the un-airbrushed photo. They smoothed out the muscles in her ab, upper arm, and shoulder - wierd.

Not necessarily in this order: 1. Compete in a triathalon 2. Go to Italy (Tuscany)- Guess I'll have to learn some Italian too :) 3. Have a baby

I sent you a PM

Would this spring semester be your last semester? If so, I'd stick it out and see what happens - like everyone else said, you can work in OB or some other area where it's not all sick people all the time. Or you could add to your nursing degree and get a degree in exercise science/physiology...
