I am trying to start working out in the morning. My life is really flexible right now so I have a ton of ability to play with the timing of my workouts. I want to workout in the morning since I feel best in the morning and by afternoon I have lost my mojo. I am having 2 problems with the...

For anyone following my tale for the past year, here is the next installment. I have been nauseous everytime I eat or drink anything since I had surgery in January. I have been having to get IV fluids every 3 days since I am so dehydrated, and now my veins are so bruised they really can't do...

Hi all, As many of you know I have had an aweful year healthwise. As the drama continues I had another horrible day at the hospital yesterday. I can't sleep, can't workout, so what's a girl to do??? Watch Kick, Punch and Crunch on Fittv of course. As I lay here dreaming of the day I can...

Does anyone have any experience with this or "delayed stomach emptying"? In the latest installment of my very bad year now I am dealing with this. I was in the hospital for a week trying to get rehydrated and to get my stomach to calm down. I had the test that confirmed "delayed gastric...

Last year DH was so nice and built me a Zen garden to do yoga and meditate in. We had wanted to build this for a long time, but we happened to come by most of the materials for free last summer so I finally got my garden. In my garden there is a big sandy pit which I love, but there is a...

I have been adding protein powder to my milk in the morning to increase my protein. However, it is always lumpy. I have started mixing it at least 30 minutes before I eat breakfast, and while it is helping a bit it is still quite lumpy. Has anyone else either had this problem or found a...

I have shared with you all snippets of this past year where I have been sick for a whole year now. On January 21 I had what will hopefully be my last surgery for a really, really long time (this was my 4th in a year). In this surgery they made an incision starting at my sternum, down to the...

I have posted a couple of times about my trials and tribulations this last year and hopefully this will be my last. On Monday I am having my 4th surgery this year to fix a digestive problem. I have mixed feelings on this because it should fix the problem for good, hopefully. Anyway it is a...

I was reading the thread of favorite fitness finds of 2007 and decided to pick up the Diet Minder. I am stunned by the breakdown of calories I have been eating. If you would have asked me I would have said that I am eating about 30% of my calories from protein, but I am actually eating between...

Here is my sad story...About 3 years I started having troubles that looked like gallstones. It turned out to be the sphincter of odie where the common bile duct and the small intestine meet was spasmed shut. They did an ERCP which is where they go in through your mouth and stomach into your...

Last night I was having a pity party since I injured my foot and couldn't do anyt workouts with impact. So I decided to order some more CC workouts for a little pick me up since I could do them on an ellipse. Well, I wasn't paying enough attention because I reordered one of the workouts I...

Has anyone ever watched this show? It is on at 3 pm CT on BBC. I have caught it the last two days and I am horrified :o at what these people are eating. Now, I am no saint, but OMG. Yesterday there was one guy that had 52 Red Bull's per week. Another guy's wife cooked all of his food in...

Hi all, I also had someone make a comment to me last week, but I have the opposite problem, I am quite big. I am likely the largest member of this community, but I am strong and healthy and fine with it. My sad story is this...I have been quite sick for about 2 months and finally had...

Just like the cliches I was in the right place at the right time and knew the right people. I got hired as a presenter for NETA (National Exercise Trainers Association). I will be traveling around the country training fitness instructors and personal trainers. Doesn't that sound cool. :o So...

After reading the cario coach threads I am planning on getting some of the downloads. Since they are buy 2 get 1 free I just have to get 3. So my question is what are everyone's favorites? Shayne

I see that you teach aqua. Where do you teach? I also teach aqua at Gold's Gym in Vadnais Heights and Blaine and at Shoreview Community Center. Here is my question...How do you keep your classes fresh? For the summer I took on too many classes and have a definite case of burn out. I feel...
