    very upset

    I can't speak for your cat, but My cat was declawed at around 5 yrs old by a former BF. He did it because his new roomate had new stereo speakers and he didn't want wisper to claw them up. Being a looser, he couldn't afford to pay the vet bill so I paid it and bailed her out. I had her when...

    Day Hiking (Trekking) Shoe Recommendations

    Happy feet are good I saw several people in sandals in those pics. Blisters from sandals shouldn't be a concern simply because they are sandals. If they fit well and are broken in, that won't be an issue. And I doubt that the 'climbing' the mountain disqualifies sandals; uneven terrain and...

    Day Hiking (Trekking) Shoe Recommendations

    hiking shoes I used to sell hiking boots/shoes at REI a few years back, so I have been through this before. Well, the most important questions are what kind of day hike? How many miles? carrying a small daypack or larger? and when do you need the shoes? The jungle, with all that...

    Need a bit of encouragement....

    Keeping fit isn't easy :( Yolanda, I have fallen off the fitness and healthy eating wagon and gotten back on sooo many times. I guess all I can say is that everyone falls off at some point, only the strong get back on! This time around I am trying to keep myself excited about it...

    Facebook Question

    facebook newbie I don't know a lot about facebook, I just joined a few weeks ago. But one of the first things I did was go to my settings and de-activate a lot of info sharing things. Also, facebook will go through your e-mail account that is linked to facebook, look through your names, and...

    Hey pet owners -do you have insurance?

    Pet insurance I had it for a year. It was worth it; covered the price of 1 emergency vet visit due to some stomach upset/vomiting for my puppy. I think mine cost around $30/month. But I dropped it since the good policies that cover most expensive things are around $40-50/month and I thought...

    Has anyone done any Mindy Mylrea workouts?

    Bosu dvd's I have Mindy's Bosu Blast. I haven't done it yet, just previewed it. It looks really good though. I also have rob glick's bosu cardio dvd and that one looked rather boring but when I did it I was impressed with how tough it actulay was (I'm not a step person, btw). So I'd assume...

    The Side "Stitch"

    the dreaded stitch I get it when I drink too much water just before or during running :( I can manage a few small sips, but that is it. Forget eating! I mostly carry water when running for my dog (a 35lb sheltie who needs water breaks every 3 miles or so) Cindy

    bar workouts

    I have seen that some people here are using these type of workouts as well, so I thought I'd ask for opinions. I rented pure barre from netflix and couldn't do it :( The quality was terrible (very dark, and she was wearing black so I couldn't see what she was doing) but I got enough out of it...
