    I need some help choosing a new DVD, please

    I have decided to order Cathe's new beg/int step and stability ball strength DVD. I hemmed and hawed a bit because I didn't want to admit to myself that I'm just not ready for her more advanced workouts. You all motivate and challenge me so much that I want to push myself...but I realize that I...

    I'm curious about The Step company...

    My reward gift of Cathe's high step is on it's way to me. I can't wait to get it!! My next equipment purchase will be a regular step. I understand (from someone else's post) that The Step company risers will work with a High Step and a regular step. That's terrific! However, I can't seem...

    Doing a detox, has anyone else?

    Today I start my first ever detox, and I'm psyched about it. I've been reading about detoxes (is that spelled right? lol) off and on for awhile, and I've always been interested but just haven't gotten the herbs and foods together to do one before now. I'm following the 3 day Detox from Natural...

    IMax2 victory...

    Today I decided to brave Imax2, the FitTv version. The last time I did this work out, about 6 weeks ago, I really struggled with the choreography and the aerobic endurance through the intervals.

    I need help picking out a new smoothie maker....

    I'm shopping for my mom and myself. Her blender died and mine is too much of a pain the a$$ to use. I'd like one that isn't too complicated to put together and take apart for cleaning, has a strong enough motor to make a couple of smoothies at a time, and the icing on the smoothie would be one...

    Anyone else have this moments of clarity?

    Last week was a big jumble of emotions, unclean eating and no exercise while I helped a friend deal with a major life choice. I will admit that at times I enjoyed the unclean eats, not to mention the alcohol. LOL Yet it felt very foreign to me- not naughty like it used to when I took a single...

    Clean Eats question....

    Some of the responses in my Experimenting with my Calories thread got me thinking, so I went through my food journal and highlighted all the unclean foods last night for the past month or so. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. :) It became very clear to me very quickly, though, that I...
