Ditto to everything said earlier! One other suggestion - my doc suggested taking the albuterol inhaler about 20min before WO regardless of whether I felt like I "needed" it or not. Works great and I get get thru the whole WO (usually).

Lori, good luck w/ that interview! And WOW to that run! I hate running w/ the wind against me. I haven't been exercising much lately either. I had a doozie of a respiratory thing going on. It's still not totally gone. I'm going to see the asthma doc on Tuesday to see if we can do...

Hi Shirl! (and everyone else of course). Trying to get myself back on track after sliding WAY off over the last couple weeks. For example, I munched on sunflower seeds all afternoon. Just trying to get short walks & elliptical in this week and will start some sort of "program" both food &...

Low Impact Circuit, Body Max 2, Pyramid Upper/Lower Body are my faves. But I like all the ones I have :-)

Good morning Amelia & Roxie! FINALLY got out for some exercise today. DS and I went out for a 2.5 mile bike ride, then he went in and I tacked on another 5 miles (more uphill, faster & using high gears). It felt GREAT! Still a little wheezy, but at least it's manageable now. Planning...

Hi everyone. Shirl, thanks so much for asking about me. I'm feeling pretty good, though still kind of wheezy. I think it's at the manageable point right now, though. I'm planning either a walk w/ DS tomorrow while DD is @ church or some easy time on the elliptical to get back into the...

Hi everyone. I'm still not WO - just feel yucky and EXHAUSTED!!! Right now I'm just taking the extra sleep I seem to need and trying to watch the food so that my weight doesn't get out of control. I say that, but you should have seen what I ate for breakfast today...OMGx( Amelia, brownies...

Personally, I like sugar free, fat free chocolate pudding (or any combo of sf/ff depending on how many calories you're looking for). One serving isn't very big, but it satisfies cravings for sweets and adds a dairy serving into my day.

I have GE Profile appliances (10YO) that have been fine. We replaced the dishwasher this year due to a recall (with another Profile) and it works fine IF you use the recommended DW detergent. Anything else and it doesn't clean well. In any case, I've had no problems to speak of. Not sure...

Waving hi again. No WO again - still having breathing issues, but MUCH better today. I'm going to try a "light" WO tomorrow morning, I think (since I'm awake anyway). Time to get the kiddos (and myself) ready for bed. Will see you all tomorrow!

Hey everyone. Just stopping in to say hi. No WO for me - sick w/ the chest cold crud AGAIN!!!! I'll probably be out of the WO groove for the rest of the week unless a miracle occurs and I can BREATHE again! Amelia, sorry about your MIL. My MIL is really lovely (truly) - I am very lucky to...

Hi everyone. No real WO for me today - I'm wheezy, scratchy throat & an annoying cough. I think it's just allergies cuz I don't feel bad otherwise, but if you can't breathe it's kinda hard to WO. SOOOO, I'm just doing chores around the house so we can enjoy my DNiece's graduation party...

Amelia, for what it's worth, I think your body just has to stop and acclimate itself to its new weight every now and then. It took me over 4 years to get from 190 to 150-something and I'm good and stuck now! I'm kinda like Andrea - I just need to think about the food a bit more, but I don't...

Hey everyone. I decided I couldn't be a complete slug this week, so I got up and went for a walk (outside) this morning. 45min - chilly at first, but LOVELY! I'm just itching to be outside! Not sure what's on tap for tomorrow - I'll just play it by ear, I think. Amelia, WTG on those...

Hey there everyone! I'm in a WO funk this week. Just no desire to do anything. I'm gonna see if I can try a spin class one day this week just for something different. May have to rearrange the schedule a bit. Roxie, glad to hear that your dog has decided to eat. I have a skinny kitty...

Hi there everyone. I really needed to do a total body WO today, but didn't get it done. I elected to do a bunch of other things that needed to get done instead. I may make this a 4DS week just to be sure I get everything in. Just seems like there is too much to do and not enough time these...

Waving hi! I'm in PA today at the weavers and will (finally) head home tonight. It seems like it's been a really long trip. Didn't WO yesterday - got to bed too late the night before, but I did get up and do my iTread again today. I usually only do 20min @ the hotels since others are...

Hi everyone. Been MIA again, and likely to again next week since I'm out on travel Mon - Thurs. I'm taking my running shoes, my new shuffle, and some iTreads so I should be good for WO. Today I did a 5 mi walk for Breast Cancer Research w/ my mom. It was really fun. Last year there were...

Hi everyone. I SOOOO did NOT want to WO today but I talked myself into a 20min iClimb, which was certainly better than nothing. I start off every week going gangbusters and by Wednesday I'm so sore and exhausted I have to take a rest. Then it's hard to restart (sigh). I'm trying anyway...

I LOVE the Baking Spice and Chinese Cassia cinnamon. And the double strength vanilla extract is to die for. I also recommend the English Prime Rib Rub for beef & pork. The pasta sprinkle is good too - I've been putting it on steamed veggies. I'm gradually replacing ALL my spices w/...
