    Moment of Truth/Fall Check in Sunday 9/11/05

    Hi everyone! What a day! I went to the annual seafood festival down at the beach today with some friends, oh boy did I eat!! I haven't plugged it all in to Fitday yet but it's not going to be pretty! :o I keep putting it off because I just don't want to know. I had a lobster roll and two...

    I'm biting the bullet and doing Atkins

    Please do some research on Atkins first. I know that a lot of people have lost weight on Atkins, but really it's not a healthy way to go. If you do a google search of "Human Energy System" you will see that carbohydrates are our body's fuel source, take away that fuel source and you burn...

    Moment of truth/Fall check-in Sept 10,2005

    Good Morning! I had a really hard time getting out of bed this morning - perfect sleeping weather here in NH :) When I did get up I realized we were out of coffee x( So, I had go out to get a cup - it's just not a good day without coffee! DH is golfing today so I'm off to do some...

    Anyone use Origins?

    I use A Perfect World for Eyes which is great, lasts a long time and I love the smell of it - I also use APW body wash. I also have the No Puffery eye mask which I keep in the fridge so it's nice and cold when I put it on. The Modern Friction looks interesting, I've been using Never a Dull...

    Moment of Truth/Fall check-in,Friday Sept 9

    Hello! Just got back from school and ate some lunch - 2 pieces of pizza...BAD!! Must go burn it off with some cardio now. I think I'll do SB, it's been a while since I've done that one and it's so fun! I think I'll do an ab section first though - maybe ME abs, that section always kills...

    Moment of Truth/Fall check-in, Thursday Sept 8

    Hi All, I didn't check in yesterday because of work and school, busy days for me now ;( I didn't workout yesterday but did walk 2 miles w/ my pooch (meaning my dog AND my belly :7 ). Today is S&H legs and shoulders and maybe a 30 min cardio afterwards depending on how I feel. I'm back...

    Movie suggestions

    The Motorcycle Diaries was fantastic! It's one of those movies I keep thinking about for some reason. It's a foreign film set in S. America in 1952, about two medical student friends who take a semester off from school to go on a road trip, and I believe it was directed by Robert Redford. If...

    Moment of Truth Fall Check-In Tuesday 9/6

    Good Morning! I didn't post on Sun or Mon - we went to a cookout on Sun and I just never turned on the computer yesterday. There's not much to report except that I didn't eat well or workout much :( I tried to keep the snacking down to a minimum (at the cookout) and told myself I'd only eat...

    Appalled With How Federal Government Handled Katrina Disaster

    Excellent post Clare! Over 60 countries have pledged help to us, including, Cuba, France, and Venezuela...not exactly friends of ours. If only our President would put his pride aside for the wellfare of millions of Americans.

    Appalled With How Federal Government Handled Katrina Disaster

    For YEARS they've been telling N.O. that their levees are only equiped to handle a cat. 3 hurricane and they've done nothing about it. Sure, funding wasn't there, etc., but doesn't public safety supercede funding? Clearly the head of FEMA was overwhelmed and should be fired IMHO. If he...

    Fall/Moment of Truth Check-In Saturday Sept 4th

    Hi everyone! I'm really glad for this check-in, it's really keeping me motivated. Yesterday I did KPC cardio premix + GS legs 50 min timesaver, it was really fun, I'll definitely be doing this one again. My hip flexors and inner thighs are pretty sore today so I think I'll be doing Wendy's...

    Social alcohol and fitness

    Coming from a self-described wino, I find that as long as I'm good with eating well a couple of glasses of wine doesn't impede my weight. DH and I usually split a bottle of wine on the weekends if we're staying in, and I haven't noticed any weight increase but I always log my food and...

    Moment of truth 09/01

    Better gas up........

    Same thing here (New England). I saw $2.80 yesterday when everywhere else was $2.65 and I thought, yeah right no one's going to get gas there! $2.80 is the lowest price today, everywhere else is $2.90... It doesn't seem right that they can just up the price so drastically, I always thought...

    Moment of Truth 08/31

    Hi All, Did well w/ food yesterday but my workout was short, timesaver BSB. Today is going well, I'm tired from working the a.m. shift but I'm going to walk the dog and decide what workout I'll do when I get back - I may need to nap first :-) ~Shannon

    My little cat did not come home

    I don't have cats now, but growing up we had quite a few and they would often go off for a few days, sometimes a week or more, but they always came back. I don't know what kind of area you live in but if it's fairly rural I wouldn't worry too much. I've also heard that if you walk around the...

    This is just too funny

    Well, the shorts and the shoes make sense since spin bikes have the pedals you clip into (my gym does, maybe yours doesn't), but the jersey wearing is a little odd. A lot of the people who take spin classes at the gym that I work at actually bike to the gym, so that makes sense, but otherwise I...
