I typically do as many full push ups as I can and then modify down to my knees. It does get easier, I promise. I used to only be able to do 4-6 toe push ups, now after 3 months I can do close to 20 before modifying. I upped my core work as well and I think that really contributed to my...

I highly recommend Muse. They are a British band and they sound a little like Radio Head at first but after a few listens they sound much better than Radio Head. They are really talented musician - the drummer is particularly good. Their latest CD is called Absolution - it's one of those CD's...

Can you give us some more info? What does an average day of eating look like? Perhaps you aren't eating enough. Are you at an age where you could be peri-menopausal? Do you have a lot of stress in your life? Do you drink a lot of caffine? Both stress and caffine raise cortisol levels which...

Ooh, I love Vegas! Fun, fun! 10lbs in 6 weeks is doable if you are really strict and focused - good thing you have us! This is how it works out in numbers: So, 1 lb = 3500 calories x 10lbs = 35000/6wks = 5833.33cals per wk. 5833.33/7 days = 833 calorie deficit per day. If you factor in...

I have a RE license - tried being an agent but it just wasn't for me. The course is fine, the test is hard. Many people fail the first time, I passed but just by the skin of my teeth. The nat'l exam wasn't too bad, it was the state exam that was tricky, and supposedly my states laws are...

You can't tell her what to do, she's going to do what she wants regardless of what you think. You can give your opinion, tell her she's better off w/o him, afterall he was cheating on her, but tell her you will support her despite how she decides. If you talk trash about him too much and she...

That's about what we came up with for me when we did caliper testing in class...then we did hydrostatic weighing and I was 17.9%. Everyone in the class had a higher reading w/ the underwater test than the caliper. With calipers you have to be really precise. We measured and marked each place...

Good morning Wendy, Lisa, Kali, Lori...and everyone else ;-) You ladies are so ambitious! Putting away summer clothes???!!! That doesn't happen for me ever - I'm very unorganized that way, it's controlled though, I know where everything is!...sometimes :P So, I should be in class right...

The WHO has been anticipating this avian flu for years - we talked about it a lot in my microbiology class a few years ago...very scarey that it's finally becoming a real threat and not just a "what if".

Yuck! I just ate a tuna sandwich...Great - Now I feel sick! J/K - that is very strange though :) For some reason, when I eat salt & vinegar chips I crave orange juice - so I eat those together. You'd think I'd get heartburn, but I haven't so far. I also like to dip pizza in ranch...

Hi Girls! Sorry I haven't posted much here lately - school has me busy and I was fighting off a cold, so wasn't working out too much. I'm feeling better today though, so I'll probably do a KPC combo w/ L&G. Holy crap Charlotte, your bf is 14%!? Sounds like you are trying to raise it(?)...

I've been to both Maui and Kauai. We spent 5 nights on Maui and 8 nights on Kauai. We liked both islands but Maui was definitely our favorite of the two. We stayed at The Maui Prince which was reasonably priced and had the most beautiful, private beach of any of the other resorts we visited...

I have a black pant suit from Banana Republic that I love. I bought it 4 years ago and it has really held up well, although I've probably only worn it 15 or so times. I think it was $375 at the time (including a shirt). I have the "Martin" style pants which are have the lowest waist, ie, they...

It sounds like you either need to strengthen your triceps more or you're not fully concentrating on pulling with your back muscles. With rows you want to keep your shoulder blades in constant retraction and then really squeeze them at the top of the movement. With the pullovers it's easy for...

Oh no! That test says I'm most like Shannon, which oddly enough is my name...not good. That seating chart is wacky! Locke's seat scared the crap out of me!

I had a really bad day at work a few years ago. I was up for a promotion against one of my good friends (I actually got her the job at this place and had been there 3 years longer than her), I thought for sure that I'd get it - more experience, better relationship w/ other employees, etc...

The commercials are annoying! I waited and recorded it on Tivo last night because I was getting irritated - it WAS about 30 mins minus the commercials. 108 is the sum of the numbers that keep coming up. I saw the thing on ET about what Walt was saying backwards, it was, "Don't press the...

Good Morning everyone! I have to leave for class in a few minutes so I'll be brief :) Yesterday I worked out at the gym after work, 30 mins on the crosstrainer + 15 mins on the recumbant bike, then I did about 15 mins of abs on the stability ball. I can do pikes so much better at the gym...

I heard two of the worst songs back to back on satellite radio yesterday - so bad I had to listen. The first one was "Mmmm, Mmmm, Mmmm, Mmmm" by Crash Test Dummies, apparently they just couldn't think of any chorus lyrics so humming was the only option!? Then came on "We Hate it When Our...

Good Morning :) I haven't exercised since Friday :o But in my defense I did a lot of walking on Sunday at the race, going to the different aid stations. We were up at 4:30 am and finally got in the car to drive home at 7 pm, then I had to be up at 4:30 am yesterday to work - needless to...
