    pre-workout morning meal

    I work out early in the morning, too, and if I feel like having something, I usually have these easy to make energy balls: Ballz for All :: The Fitnessista Protein Powder Peanut Butter Balls Recipe by JHENGESH | SparkRecipes and these that don't use protein powder: No Bake Energy Bites | Gimme...

    Surviving Whole Foods by Kelly MaclLean

    Go Trader Joes! What a great article and so true! They keep threatening to open one of these up where I live and I keep thinking 'noooooooooo'!!!! Besides I have Trader Joes (which is actually quite reasonable for a lot of their brand products) and a Kimberton Whole Foods if I feel like driving...

    Party Rockin' Step 2

    So fun! I have to agree with Jenn - this was so fun! I had almost made it through to #6 and PECO decided to change my electric meter out :(. So I did the Step Premix which includes a few combos from Party Rock 1 so I had the chance to preview it today, too! There are a couple of new moves in...

    Verizon Fios

    Caitlin - Verizon FiOS is just a brand name for a bundled internet access, TV cable and phone/landline service that runs over fiber optic lines. Did you have a DVR/DVD player maybe with your old service that they took away? Are you trying to integrate your DVD player into your new cable box...

    Link for Behind The Scenes clip

    Aha! I always wondered how in the world does she remember all those combos? GIANT CUE CARDS! I guess teleprompters wouldn't work (like those you barely see during speeches) because you are so far away, and I didn't think you were using earwigs :) Older ways work best in some instances! Thanks...

    KCM's New DVD Trim Down is available to pre-order and with a clip.

    Oh this looks like fun! I like how she's doing the pushups around 2:15. I'm still having issues with those since I hurt my back. Has anyone done the "your healthy back" video that she has under the 30 minutes to fitness?

    Low Intensity Series

    Ohmigosh, that is so funny! I laughed so hard when I read this and feel the same way. My back just can't take the higher impact, and I don't want to stop working out with Cathe 'cause then I will be ready for Sit and Be Fit :)It's bad enough that I have an AARP card this year :rolleyes:

    Body Part Specific Stretching

    I really enjoy the stretching DVD, and after recovering from a ruptured disc and resulting sciatica all summer, I've discovered the benefits of physical therapy! A lot of what they showed me was stretching that I did, just longer times to hold the stretch, and it was all lower back, hamstring...

    Outlander by Diana Gabaldon - anyone?

    There are little novellas out there, too, that explain some of the backstories going on. Like this one: DianaGabaldon.com | A Plague of Zombies And the "Custom of the Army". Wasn't the best of hers, but it was a very quick read as an ebook. And all the Lord John novels and novellas. And a...

    Anyone can/preserve?

    I can a lot - have always used Ball books, and lately my county's extension site. I found a lot of tomato canning recipes there. Pickyourown.org has a lot of recipes, too. Follow the instructions, ingredients and stay clean - if you are boiling water bathing, then stay sterile :). I've not...

    Outlander by Diana Gabaldon - anyone?

    I really liked the entire Outlander series - I like my fiction to make me think 'what if'. I think that's why I really liked Stephen King's 11/22/63. Such a departure for him, and wow what a lot of thought that generated for me. These are the books that I still have in hardcover... Speaking...

    Saline Infusion Sonohysterography

    Hi Jennifer - this wasn't a bad procedure for me. My doctor had me take two regular ibuprofen an hour before the appointment. The worst part is when they insert the tube for the water :D The rest isn't bad at all... Good luck, remember to breathe :) Ellen

    Healthy foods you just CAN'T stomach

    Kale - ick. I keep trying it different ways and just - can't - do - it :( Natasha - have you tried roasting the peeled beets with a little olive oil and salt? I hated beets, too, until I tried them roasted.

    Carribean Red Beans & Quinoa

    That was a delicious recipe! And I really like the other recipes that she has. I really enjoy Christina Perillo and now I have another site for recipes, yay!

    Quinoa Granola

    Wouldn't that be nice for the entire size of the granola batch to be those few calories :) Unfortunately it is for ~ 1/3 cup. Sorry for taking so long to get back to you, I took myself off of forums for a bit.

    Carribean Red Beans & Quinoa

    Mmmmm I was going to say 'this looks delicious', but ... how about I say 'the ingredient list looks delicious'! :) Even the blogger says 'File this under “Tastes Better Than It Looks” ' That is funny! I love everything in the ingredients. Thanks for sharing! Ellen

    Very important hair question

    Yes, be honest with your hairdresser! I was with mine, and together we picked the shade of L'Oreal Root Touchup that would be best for me based on her professional color shades that she has been using. She also knows that I colored my hair for many years before letting her take over when the...

    good barbell recommenation

    I bought my Olympic set at Play it Again Sports for a decent price. You can also check out your local charities that accept sporting goods (some don't) because really - they don't wear out :)

    If you count calories .....

    Sparkpeople has me on a weight loss plan of 1200-1550 a day. If I'm honest :p then I am around 1600-1700. I do a Cathe workout 6 days a week and track them with my Polar HRM. Sparkpeople doesn't take into account your workout calorie burn like some other programs I've used. So even though I can...
