  • I use the Neutrogena oil free spray sunscreen. I love it and never had a problem with it ruining my closes. It doesn't feel gross on and I almost don't notice it's on.
  • I have been a dance instructor for almost 20 years and have learned that touching to correct form is a very effective way to make corrections. They are both feeling the correction and hearing it. I find that the student remembers the correction better. If I touch to make the correction I usually only have to do it once and…
  • Thanks for the advice. I'll try the sqeeze the orange thing tonight. I have been playing with the grip width, making it wider helps a bit, but not much. As far as range of motion is concerned, I quite certain that is not the issue. I can easily grab my hands behind my back and pull my hands up to above my head with my arms…
  • I love Nia!!!! I'm currently doing her Beautiful Badass program. I love it!
  • One very spoiled Golden Retriever named Mozart. He is 85 pounds and sleeps on top of me! Mozart (or 'the Bear', Mozie, Moz, Duck, Pup-a-Duck) goes on some sort of adventure every single day, but his favorites are snow shoeing, skiing, and hiking in the mountains (especially if there is a pond). His favorite day all year is…
  • I'm allergic to avocados. :sad:
  • As others have said it's mainly water retention, but there are a LOT of other ways to make food very flavorful without adding salt, or much salt. Your cooking method is one... growing up we always microwaved frozen veggies, now I roast fresh veggies in the oven or grill them. I can't believe the difference. I also love…
  • Anyone ever read Dr. Suess's The Butter Battle Book? Just curious.
  • I completely understand what it is like living with someone that has those food quirks... and how it is impossible to tell them to grow up. What I do is cook the protein the same, then change up how I serve it to accommodate my diet and his weirdness. For example: I will grill beef or chicken, then serve his with rice and…
  • I like to weigh everyday and graph it to see trends. I don't get caught up in daily changes. I prefer this method over once a week because what if the day I happen to weigh on that week happens to be one of the day that is a spike?
  • I actually have a birth mark where a tramp stamp would be.... does that make me a naturally born tramp???? Low rise jeans... seriously, unless they fit perfectly, they make even the fittest/skinniest women have a muffin top. I love that high wasted skirts are back in fashion.
  • Love this post!!! I was so terrified the first time I went.
  • I have a hard time hitting my protein macro without protein powder. There is only so much chicken I can eat in one day! Sometimes I will get plain greek yogurt and mix in half a scoop of protein powder. Sometimes I get out my blender and mix a scoop of protein powder with milk and ice.... I generally use the chocolate…
  • That is awesome!
  • TDEE already takes into count your exercise, so you do NOT eat back your exercise calories.
  • Anything from The Nutcracker. As a dancer having to rehearse this for months every year it is horrible. The Chinese song makes me want to shove an ice pick in my eye. Oh... and Dominic the Donkey. Really?!?!?! How is this a Christmas Song?
  • I know last night wasn't the best showing, but the Avalanche are rocking it this season!
  • What did the fish say when it hit a wall? Damn
  • ^^^^ YES!!! Totally agree. Along with Malbec, Shiraz/Syrah and my favorite.... Zinfandel (the dark red stuff, not that crappy rose junk). I generally have 1-2 glasses of something most but not every night. If not wine gin, bourbon, scotch...mmmmmmm!
  • Android. Galaxy S4 or Droid Razr Maxx HD. Just look at the consumer reports ratings: Galaxy S4 - 79 Droid Razr Maxx HD- 79 iPhone - Way down the list at 75 Blackberry - even further down at 74 might not seem like much of a difference but when you see the number of phones on the list higher than the iPhone it does.
  • I've been using the Beautiful Badass program and love it. Each day has 1-2 lower body exercises, 1-2 upper body exercises, and core work. Also, I picked this one because after you do the beginner program you have about 19 different options of workouts depending on what you want to do. It also comes with a manual discussing…
  • This is me, the overweight ballet instructor. While in class I am too busy correcting my students and making them look awesome to actually dance myself. I teach mainly teenagers so I work on vocabulary a lot instead of demonstrating everything for them. My dance kiddos on the other hand... they look AMAZING!
  • My Golden Retriever goes on some sort of adventure every day. Walks, hiking, snow shoeing, cross country skiing, agility training, jogging, and his favorite is dog day at the pool that only happens once a year. Quick word of advise for those of you with big dogs. Talk to your vet before you jog with them or do anything…
  • Also... -Cherry tomatoes hollowed out with a pesto cream cheese filling. -Red or purple grapes covered in goat cheese and rolled in crushed pistachios (SO yummy) -Marinated zucchini with feta cheese - slice zucchini in slices that are a good 1" or so thick, spoon out part of the zucchini so it makes a cup of sorts,…
  • Gourmet Popcorn! If you want something that you also don't have to refrigerate, I love making crazy popcorn. I pop a whole bunch of popcorn, separate into different large zip lock bags, drizzle a little olive oil over it, then season with a variety of seasonings, and shake shake shake. It's a lot of fun as everyone has to…
  • A burrito bowl. Rice, black beans, either grilled chicken or steak, pico de gallo, salsa verde and a little sour cream. See my pre-logged lunch for tomorrow. It comes in at 477.
  • Dance... trust me on this one. When he is a teenager all the hot girls will be all over him at the dance conventions.
