  • you can keep it low impact, just don't "bounce" quite as much. :)
  • You might also check out the vegan body building sites (yes, vegans can be bodybuilders) as far as some ideas for recipes. e.g. http://www.veganbodybuilding.com/?page=article_soyfree BTW - Honey isn't vegan since it comes from bees.
  • I do butt clenches, stomach vacuums, and Jack Lallane hand exercises (the jack lallane's I do real fast while walking in a circle and they give me energy) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUVVNCP66N8
  • It's good melted in coffee too.... (I'm a PB nut, love it love it love it!)
  • I studied with a yoga master for years (back when I was young and thin, lol) and I can tell you that depending on the type of yoga, yes it can be used for strength training. I was super strong AND super bendy. *laugh* Power yoga is great for that, and now they even have 'hybrids' of yoga and strength training like yoga…
  • My experience - I cannot WAIT until I can get my Mirena out. When i got mine it was long before the warnings came for ovarian cysts when you get this product. it was brand-effing-spanking new. i was super excited to not have to worry about BC for 5 years. I have issues with pills, and since I was younger than 30 no doctor…
    in Mirena... Comment by Catzwitch May 2010
  • Do they have any non-meat options on that menu? I was curious.....
  • OK, for those of you complaining you can't read Tony's rant because its all caps and what not, I've transcribed it. Here ya go. Remember - This is TONY HORTON's rant, not mine.... __________________________________________________________________________________________________ Alright, sit back and relax. Let’s go over a…
  • See, when I go to Burger King its the Veggie Burger, Small fries, and diet coke. Once in a great while it is totally worth it, especially since that meal is "only" 760 calories. :) The whopper has 3.5 more fat and twice the calories than the BK Veggie. ;)
  • I know this is a serious topic, but I just snickered out loud: I make thousands of typos so I'm not calling it out or anything, I just found it funny. OK, back to serious-ness: What she's doing shows the beginning stages of anorexia....
  • I wish there was a class close to my house that was open to the public. I have some vids, but I think I'd ahve more fun in a class....

  • I am a little OCD - the scale is in the potty and so every time I piddle.... yeah.... we're talking 20 times a day I step on that thing... But the only time I record it is if I'm down 2lbs or more for 3 days or more. It kinda helps keep me in check because if I see the scale creeping up I know to take a look at what might…
  • depends on the workout - ~ for walking/running I have a random shuffle of trance stuff with Dash Berlin, Armin Van Buren, etc - fast beat keeps my feat moving fast! I tend to walk to whatever the beat of a song is so when the beat is super fast so am I, lol. ~ for weights/strength training I have a mixture of very VERY…
  • Rum & diet. I tend to stick with clear alcohol, I like vodka and diet red bull (or whatever diet energy drink they have on tap). But I also budget in my alcohol calories for the day if I know I'll be drinking. Just be careful because with less calories in your day, it takes less alcohol for stronger effects.... (I know…
  • I've been trying the barefoot/socks thing but I nearly die when doing jumping jacks or other jumping exercises. When i go walking right now all I have is a pretty darn old pair of Chuck's that have no support. I have arthritis and back issues so I'm hoping to find something with some more support - especially for the more…
  • Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm out of Orlando, FL, so there's a few options here to check out. :) I was beginning to think I'd have to find a pair of used ones on Craigslist or something. :)
  • I remember seeing that vid before and falling in love with that guy just from that video. *laugh* Its those soulful eyes.... and he only smiles like twice in the whole thing, that's part of why it is so sad.... that and to watch life just move by....
  • This was an awesome post and I thank you for it. i do however caution everyone to realize that every BODY is different. I have some pretty bad thyroid issues thanks to genetics and have been advised by doctors (note the plural s there) that if I consume more than 1,100 calories a day without an external metabolism…
  • I <3 Dane Cook so much.
  • Since the entire household here is unemployed, we *love* store brands. lol. I used to buy a mixture of name vs. store back when there was an income in the house, but now, I've learned that Wal Mart Great Value almost -everything- is nearly as good if not better than name brands. :) Of course, we're also the type of people…
  • Questions were NOT answered, lol.
  • I love these 'pop up video' type recaps they have been doing every week.
  • I like b-12 sub-lingual lozenges for the afternoon slump. A couple of 'em under the tongue and I can make it through the rest of the day. Not like an energy drink burst but a little help. Also I used to love 5-hour-energy in the afternoons when I was stuck in the office all day.
  • I don't check in on a certain day.... hell, I'm on the scale like 50 times a day (a little obsessive, but its there every time I piddle... I just have to check, lol) What I do is if I go down at least two pounds, and it sticks for at least three days, then I take it as a loss. I'm still early in my journey (as my ticker…
  • I watched it the first two seasons, then fell off due to... life. But started watching again for this final season. At first it was like, ***sideways head tilt*** "Whaaaaaaaa?" but now I can't miss it. *laugh*
  • Just a side note here... be thankful that your 15-year-old isn't already having sex. My ex-husband's daughter (who i was very close to when we were married but then she drifted away after the divorce) shares everything that happens in her life on her websites. And her friends comment on their own experiences as such. And…
  • I love boxing on Wii sports. I warm up with some bowling and tennis, then switch to boxing, going between the competition and the training. You really feel it in your arms the next day if you do the heavy bag attack like crazy! I'd be interested to see what anyone else says too because I don't have a Wii fit, just…
