I have to second the Hotel Alpina! Murren is wonderful - as is Interlaken. I hsve also visited Salzburg and Vienna and really can't say enough good things about both Switzerland and Austria - great food, wonderful people and beautiful scenery. My travels to Europe generally coincide with...

Texas A&M University Gig 'em Aggies!

Thanks for the advice, my N-Gage should be arriving in the next week or so! The rehab exercises look like they will be very helpful, thanks to your dh for sharing!

Any feedback on the Ryka N-gage from people who are looking for a bit more support around the ankle? They look like they have a high-top and with the ankle/foot issues I have been having lately, I think they might be a good solution for me. My last few pairs of aerobics shoes have been Rykas...

I have had a non-hormonal IUD since 1998 and have had absolutely no problems. My blood sugar levels are way too erratic for any kind of hormones, and I was nervous at first about trying something that I had heard so many "horror stories" about. I had cramping for the first day or so, but have...

I started a job in january that requires me to wear heels every day (ugh). Lately when I am working out, my calves cramp up severely, to the point that I have to stop and wait for the cramping to subside before I can move on with my workout. The change in footwear is the only thing that I...

I have to work out in the mornings before my brain figures out what I am doing!!! (This usually occurs during the plie hops in Interval 9!!!!)

Have you seen this site? I got the link from a post on this site a few months ago,hope it helps! (And that I posted the right web address, hee hee!) http://www.hussman.org/fitness/bmrcalc.htm

This is one time I think that being on insulin is easier! I have the luxury of adjusting my boluses to account for extra carbs in a meal, whereas when you are using diet alone to control your blood sugar, it requires a bit more discipline. I agree with everything that has been said already...

Thanks!! It is so frustrating to not know what you want to be doing, isn't it!?! I checked a book out of the library that was supposed to be full of tests to help me figure it out, and it was basically all personality tests, but no information on how the results translated into different...

I think I read in a post from earlier this year that you were looking to move into a medical career, possibly as an ultrasound tech. Have you made any moves in that direction? I have recently been transplanted to Tucson and have had no luck in finding a job as of yet. I previously worked in an...

For those who do not like to spend a lot of $$$, I buy Old Navy spaghetti strap cotton tanks from the girls department. The larger girls sizes fit me and they are under $10, even cheaper when the summer stuff goes on clearance.

I tried it this morning and it was really fun!!! Thanks for posting! RS

RE: Shedding retained water-rockstar I am so sorry guys, I can't find the issue that the article was in. I know it was sometime in the last 6 months or so, but, of course, that is probably the one issue that I tossed out! Sorry!!!

Subliminal message???? That is too funny!

I just finished "Angry Housewives Eating BonBons", very fun, esp if you liked the YaYas. I am expecting the Easter Bunny to hop by with Glorious Appearing, and I am struggling through "The Power of Now". Seems good but it is definitely a more focused read than I am used to.

No problem! Let me know how it turns out! RS

I have read that cutting carbs decreases water retention too. I remember reading in one of my magazines a few months ago (possibly Self) an article on "Looking good in 30 days, 3 days, 3 minutes" that had various things you could do and I believe under the 3 days one, it mentioned reducing carb...

I am warning you, this is so easy I have gotten into a real rut with it! I listed the recipe "as is" and followed with any changes that I make... Low Carb Pizza 4 oz cream cheese 3 eggs 1/3 c cream ¼ c grated parmesan cheese ½ tsp oregano ½ tsp garlic powder 2 c shredded mixed...

I sent you an email with a great low carb pizza recipe, hope you like it! I also make crepes with 1/2 cup Egg Beaters (or 2 eggs), 2 oz Cream Cheese, 1/4 cup Splenda, 1 tsp baking powder. Blend together and cook like you would pancakes. I fill mine with cream cheese and cinnamon but you could...
