Yesterday I went out for my first run since last summer. I have been exercising over the winter but just not running. I thought I'd better start with 2 miles instead of my usual 3. So I'm at 1.5 and DYING a slow death. I can't believe I'm going to have to start walking! I go to change the song...

momtofiveboys----WHEN do you work out. My DH and I fight about this all the time. I want to do a daily 5:30 A.M. workout but no matter how quiet I am (set clothes out in the hallway the night before, slither out of bed, etc.) he wakes up and then can't get back to sleep. If it's not done...

Grew up in Chicago...Die-hard Cubs fan here. Now we live in Cincinnati and it's really fun watching the Reds(especially when the Cubs are beating them). Heck I'll watch any baseball. I just love the game.

I'm so jealous of all of you. Since I've had kids even a sip of alcohol makes me comatose. So I just don't drink anymore. But those days sipping ameretto stone sours or ANYTHING mixed with malibu rum were sooooo sweet. I may have to give it the good old college try again this weekend. But...

Okay, I posted and then it disapeared. So I'll post again and as soon as I do my first post will reapear. luv2WorkHard posted a master cleanse journal titled ,"Master Cleanser Journal". Do a search on this forum for it. Very informative but not for the squeemish (she warns you ahead of time)...

Try doing a search in this forum for Master Cleanse. There is no product to buy (except lemons and a certain kind of maple syrup). Someone posted in detail their 10 day experience with this cleanse. It was gross but very good information on what to expect. Don't read it if ya just don't wanna...

While were on the subject... Debbie, how much can you bench? I'm just being nosy if you don't mind my asking. I actually stopped watching Desperate Housewives for that very reason. I'd bust my tail getting my four boys to bed on time to watch the show just to sit through a rerun. The payoff...

Wendy, Loved the Barrys bootcamp rotation. What yoga are you doing? I like how you don't do upper body 2 days in a row. I never quite understood that one. Anyways, the yoga info would be great.Thanks for your help.

Laura, I could have written your post exactly, except #2son is the super athletic, mature straight A student golden child while #1son is the average athlete, immature and gets poor grades. DH gives golden child lots of positive reinforcement (because honestly he is a great hard working...

Hey guys- I grew up in Westchester, Il. After my husband(from Hillside Il.) and I were married we lived in Darien. We have since moved to Cincinnati but all of our family lives in LaGrange and Naperville areas. Every year we go back to Naperville and run the Turkey Trot with a bunch of cousins...

These are great! Okay-- I'm 16 years old and had been dating this guy in my class I really like for 3 months. We decide one day that we are going to make dinner for his whole family (his four sisters and Mom and Dad). I'm Italian and made this great homemade pasta and gravy (red sauce). So...

Shelley, What the heck was that and how do you find this stuff! You are hilarious! BTW- red mct- Thanks for the Jari Love tip. I bought her DVD on your recommendation and it is great.

1. I've lurked here for 1 1/2 years and until last week I had never done a Cathe DVD. I got Imax 3 last year but I had never done step in my life. When I previewed the DVD for the first time I just stood there with my mouth wide open. I tried to do just the blast premix once and I almost threw...

Correct me if I'm wrong on this one. I thought that as you get older your eye sight improves (if you are near sighted). I was always borderline on needing glasses, but what pushed me over the edge was that I couldn't see as well at night when driving. When I hit about 38 things seemed to...

RE: The Dreaded I have just the opposite problem, and it's so not funny. I have been skinny all my life. Even after having four kids. But now I have just gained 30 lbs. over the last year and a half. I think it has something to do with the fact that I stopped working out completely and started...

I noticed some of you have rented exercise videos on Netflix. I have searched Netflix for exercise videos but it appears they don't carry Cathe or Beachbody videos. Please correct me if I am wrong. What advanced exercise videos have you rented off Netflix that you haved liked. I have no...

Love myoplex and I love Body for Life. Hey, maybe we should start a BFL thread! Just Kidding. Just saw a dietitian last week. I asked the very buff dietitian man how to eat to lean out and gain muscle. He was familiar with myoplex and said the carb sense ones were good. Also said to eat alot of...

Your best bet is to try physical therapy. If you are having any joint pain at all your muscles sorrounding that joint will not perform at full strength. This is a defense mechanism to protect the injured joint. If you try strengthening through the pain you will just cause more damage. Get your...
