Shock Absorber all the way! Running/jogging has been uncomfortable to downright impossible since my early teens. Shock Absorber is the only sports bra I've ever owned that allows me the freedom to do whatever type of exercise I choose: run, jump, etc.

I've tried a few of these recipes and they were really good. I've always been a huge fan of blackened tofu! I always use extra firm tofu for savory dishes. The silken varieties are good in smoothies (extra protein) and are often used in desserts.…

I'm 5'7" Starting weight was 205, but I'm down to 192. My goal is to reach a 'healthy' BMI range, approx 150-155 lbs.

Whenever I'm craving pasta, I make quinoa instead. It's certainly not a substitute for pasta, but it is a delicious mild-tasting whole grain and is much yummier than whole wheat pasta. It's full of minerals, a good source of protein, and contains fewer carbs than pasta. If you've not tried it yet, I highly recommend that…

If you buy herbs from the grocery store, especially leafy ones like parsley, trim the ends and place your herbs in a glass of water exactly as you would do with cut flowers. Store them in the refrigerator (except for basil, which does better at room temperature) and refresh the water daily. They will last much longer this…

I've never had any success growing herbs indoors in the winter. It's too cold near windowsills for them to grow. And the sunlight hours are too few. You would need to set up an indoor cultivating area with proper lighting, consistent temperature, and adequate humidity. A bit of a challenge, sure, but doable. If I had the…
