I'd like to know before pre-ordering. Thanks for any information!

Does anyone have a family room without a TV? I'm in the process of doing a remodel and I'm very, very, VERY tempted to ditch the TV entirely. Both of my kids have TVs and game systems in their rooms for when they want a TV fix, and I have a 20-incher I am going to use in my newly refurbished...

I don't even like that store. It's dirty, crowded, people are rude, and there's never enough cashiers. And yet.... every time I go there, I spend at least $200. EVERY TIME. It's like a money sucking hole in the ground. Last night I went for cleaning stuff and pet supplies; the prices are...

I just thought I would confess to my Cathe friends that I am once again a fabulous single woman. My SO moved out a few weeks ago. It's been tough on me... BUT I must say, my workouts are awfully motivated these days. :) Marie

I'm curious. This time I ordered Ryka Mid-Studio (Instructor) style sneakers. I have been wearing Ryka Circuit XTs which I have absolutely battered in only 4 months. Normally I only know I have to replace sneakers because my shins start bothering me, but these are actually falling apart! The...

Not to be rude or anything, but those of us not going on the RT don't necessarily need to read the 97 daily posts about the road trip on OD. I know you are all excited. :) Therefore, can someone request a separate forum for the RT? This would be an easy way for you all to track the various...

Sheesh, how long has the Hard Core series been out??? All this time, I have never realized that Coremax includes premixes! DUH. I did "Balanced Core" this AM - it was a very pleasant blend of floor, med ball, and stability ball work. I can see myself using it often since it doesn't have the...

So... I fell while walking the dog a couple of weeks ago and sprained my ankle. Silly me kept thinking it would feel better *any moment now* and mostly didn't bother with icing or taking anti-inflammatories regularly. But it didn't heal and as I kept dragging my foot around behind me like...

I can get a really good deal on one, and frankly I'm trying to talk myself out of the purchase as my SO already thinks I have a Serious Problem with fitness acquisitions. I'm wondering how much use I might get out of it.... any insights? If you have one, how do you use it? Does it allow you to...

P90X, that is... not the manly "ex." :) I am at the end of phase 1, just starting my recovery week. And man... I have to say, I feel really beat up. I love the strength work and the cardio isn't as intense as Cathe, so why do I feel this way? I'm sure it must be a nutritional deficit of some...

My SO's nephew is doing that school thing where you force your relatives to order a bunch of mags at a discounted rate. I was thinking of ordering a fitness-related one, but naturally they don't have Oxygen OR Muscle & Fitness Hers. Choices: Women's Health (from publishers of Men's Health)...

For the last two weeks, I keep experiencing what feels like a sugar crash (I'll start to feel extremely tired and almost lightheaded for a while) either midway through the day or around 4/5ish. I recently REALLY cleaned up my diet and have essentially removed all junk and am going for no sugar...

I know a lot of people were asking about Cathe's pants in the last series. I just wanted to mention that I just got an email from activa.com, and they have added a new vendor, "PureLime," who sell sash pants/shorts in a few different styles. Be warned that they're on the pricey side! Marie

My old blender finally died an excruciating death. (Seriously, the thing was inherited and about 100 years old. Obviously I don't cook much, lol.) Anyway, I need an apparatus primarily for mixing my recovery/protein drinks and I might want to make smoothies at some point. I'm wondering if...

I am a whooper. And a clapper. Even at 6 AM. :7 You?

I hate when this happens. I am having one of those "wrong side of the bed" days and I am not even sure why. I felt much better when working out ("Shoulders & Arms" - AWESOME workout and Tony is so goofy he really cracks me up), but now I'm back to feeling eh. Sugar withdrawal? Return to work...

I know we had this convo here at one point but the Search feature eludes me. I'm looking for a good online source for Myoplex products. Where do you order?? Also, so far I've tried the "Lite" shakes in chocolate fudge (good but I'm more of a vanilla girl) and the meal replacement bars in...

As per the other thread, I thought I'd go ahead and start the no-sweets challenge starting today (Jan 1). I did okay for most of the holiday but totally lost it from the 24th until the 28th, at which point some semblance of sanity emerged. Sheesh. I will also say, I felt totally like crap the...

Ok, a few months ago, we had a convo about eye twitching, and someone posted reasons why your eye might twitch. I remember thinking "AH-HA!" at the time, because I periodically get this terrible tic in my right eye. But then I promptly forgot about it. Of course, today my eye is twitching like...

My SO bought me three new body bars in graduating sizes, because I mentioned that I found the cushioning of the BB much easier on my joints than my regular barbell. My kids think it's so funny that I'm so excited about that! :) What are YOU getting?? Marie
