    what does everyone "do?"

    RE: what does everyone Was an environmental engineer, then moved onto being an 8th grade science teacher, and now a SAHM with my 2 cherubs and doing a home business with Shaklee on the side. Thanks for starting this thread. This is fun to see what else we do besides read posts all day long!

    The cost of working out!!!! What do you give up???

    I second the house work. My poor house. I will choose a workout over cleaning any day! And, like the others, sleep. I usually squeeze in my workout after the kidos are down for the night, usually around 9 pm and then I am all awake for an hour after I work out on top of that.

    when do you workout?

    I have a 3 year old (who does not nap anymore) and a 12 week old. Finding time to exercise is definately a challenge. For now, I have resorted to doing 30 minutes of my Cathe video a day. I will do half a workout and then the other half the next day. I have been doing it at 9 pm at night...

    Green Tea?

    Lately I have been making it as an ice tea and then I add lemon juice to it and stevia. The lemon juice and stevia really make it taste better (at least to me :)

    The Probiotic Revolution

    I really learned a lot about probiotics a couple of years ago, and there was so much info about them that I had never heard. I think the one statistic that I still find amazing is that 70% of our immune system is found in our gut. Who knew!?! My daughter has had only one round of antibiotics...

    I'm B-A-A-A-A-A-C-K

    YAY Lorrie.....welcome back! I'm so proud of your accomplishment. It has been raining here all weekend and I was hoping the rain would miss you! I second Cheryl's suggestion....a warm bubble bath sounds like the perfect thing after that!

    Lamaz Method vs. Bradley Method for Natural Childbirth?

    Hi Manmohini! First of all I want to start out saying that every labor is different and every person has different levels of pain they can tolerate. What works for one person may not be the right choice for another. Some labors will last a couple of hours to 24 hours. With that said...

    Increased hunger when working out.

    I second the hunger thing! As someone above me asked...are you still breastfeeding?? I have a 9 week old and I am still breastfeeding and on the days that I exercise, my appetite is out of control. The only thing I can attribute it too is breastfeeding and my body needing those calories to...

    Taking a Spill at Five Months Pregnant

    I fell with my first pregnancy at 6 months pregnant. I slipped on some wet stairs and went the rest of the way down on my bottom/side. I was very scared. After I did that I had sharp pains 'down there' and got really scared and went to my doc. She said that I just stretched some ligaments...

    Looking for relaxation music suggestions....

    I am just a few weeks away from the big delivery day and I am looking for some good relaxation music. I have a couple of Enya CD's which I absolutely love. I am looking for something along those lines. More musical than words. Are there any other artists out there that are like Enya? Any...

    Feeling Down B/C Moving SO SLOWLY at 35 Weeks

    Oh MB, don't be so hard on yourself. Remember, it takes a lot work to create a human being from scratch and all those materials and energy is coming from you! I am 34 weeks and I hit the wall too. I am VERY tired and need to nap and my energy level is much lower. Also, you said you gained...

    Has anyone ever used those morning sickness braclets???

    I have hit the fun nausous stage of my wonderful pregnancy (not a big surprise...I was very sick with my first) and I forgot how crappy I can feel. Even water makes me sick :( Anyway, I ran across these and I was wondering if anyone has tried them and if they did anything for you...

    SPOTTING AFTER EXERCISE?

    Hi Connie! I am a fellow-spotter as well. With my first I started spotting about week 9 and like you I called my doctor and they said the same thing....you could be having a miscarriage. I started freaking out at that point, even though I had no cramping either. Long story short, it was...

    Lower calories and lower exercise (long)

    I ran across your post Lorrie and I just want to thank you for your kind words. I too am so thankful for our friendship. I do not want to sound like I am self-promoting Shaklee here, but I do want to say a few words about Cinch. I do agree with Lorrie, it is not for everyone. If you can...
