I quit 5 1/2 weeks ago. Got a bad cold which turned into pneumonia. When I went to the doc's I hadn't smoked in 4 days and told her I didn't want to start again. Can't smoke anyways for 6 weeks, so I haven't. Now, I can't stand the smell of cigarettes at all. Love how I am feeling. Remember, after 3 days, the nicotine is…

I have a body type that puts on more muscle. I alternate with heavy and light weights and a lot of cardio, especially swimming which really burns calories and overall tones. Keep in mind that muscle does weigh more than fat. A trainer told me how to compute the muscle mass gained, but I don't remember it. I have had…

Ditto. Depends on what you are doing and what riding level. I never count trail riding, but normally count arena work if I am training or schooling. It really depends on what your "riding' fitness level is. I can get my students tired after 30 minutes of a really intense lesson. If you are doing ring work and need an extra…

Serious about a lawsuit maybe. I can think of several state and fed laws that that violates.

Followed by my husband watching me fold laundry and when I am over 1/2 done, or he is buried under a pile of his clean laundry, looking up and asking oh so innocently "do you want help?" My dog's muddy paw prints on my clean kitchen floor. Anyone that says SAHM's have it easy.

I am sure to step on some toes, however, add to the list. If you can't speak, read and write English (clearly) either learn how on your dime or go back to the country of your native language. If you don't like the word god or anything to do with "our' god, too bad. Too all Senators and congressmen, effective immediately,…

Nope, don't see drama intent here at all, just some words of wisdom that needed to be said. Thank you for them. I have been thinking the same thing. I was feeling a little back in junior high. Common bond and we do need the good, healthy positive energy. I am normally a little quiet, a little shy and all of that good…

Only when it is followed by them running up to you screaming mommy, mommy, we missed you!!!!!!!!

For us, it is more expensive at some times than others. We are not big on going on, I kind've go into cardiac arrest everytime we do and we get the bill. Lots of healthy food is more expensive. What has helped is portion control for everyone. We always had leftovers. Now, very rarely do we. I have saved more by cooking…

I had one when I was coming off of basically two years of pregnancy with about 9 months of that on bedrest and hadn't moved in 6months. I liked it to get me started slowly, but after a couple of months, it wasn't a hard enough workout. Two other options, hold in full range of motion until you feel muscle burn. Place your…

If you will send the heat out here, I will send our rain and cool weather to you. From an original East Coast girl (MD) I miss the weather now. We are supposed to have a high of 60 today, rain, clouds through the remainder of the week. I am in sun withdrawl!!!!!!!!!

Any good sculpting/boot camp tape will help those areas. Pilates are great for the core because it hits all of your abdominal muscles. Rent a couple and see what you like, or use them for good ideas. A ball and a good resistance band are inexpensive ways to target those areas.

My youngest, last summer, running into the house, naked from the waist down, telling me he had went poo-poo. Dragged me outside and sure enough, right by a big pile from the dog was a little boy pile. Most uncomfortable, my youngest (yeah, my hellion) in the commissary, telling everyone that walked by that his pee-pee was…

At my in-law's on our way from KY to WA state (mil move). I am helping my MIL clean her bedroom and my oldest (3 at the time) came upstairs blowing bubbles out of his mouth and gooey, very gooey. I went downstairs and found that he and my 2 y/o had found a brand new bottle of shampoo and managed to get the cap off and had…

My husband and I just finished the house inspection on our new home. If you are going to buy, buy now. It is scary, scary, scary, but not as much as the money you are paying for rent and the other person gets the tax breaks. We put in an offer on our house for 203k, the last owners paid 253k two years ago and it is…

I love to walk. Especially where there are hills. I do about 5 a day. 3 with the kids and dogs in the stroller and than another 2 with the kids "on our own feets mom" with the dogs. They are nature lovers, so we look at leaves and flowers and the ducks and clouds and count cars and what color stuff is and sign shapes. So,…

currently, cucumbers and tomatoes

We got outraged when gas went over $1.20!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I still remember (and miss) filling my car up for .99c per gal

Depending on your body chemistry and which IUD you have, it can cause you to lose weight. I just had my mirena removed two months ago and am patiently waiting for the hormones to leave my body. I am very susceptible to hormones. Short term, it did not cause me to gain weight, but kept my weight loss down. After almost 3…

Still head over heels, honeymoon hasn't stopped in almost 7 years. Very much my best friend (o.k., you guys put sex on the brain cause I started typing breast friend). Like everyone, we have had our ups and downs, but at the end of the day I love him. He still opens my car door for me and holds all other doors.

If nothing else works, hair of the dog that bit you.

It is a bright shiny day in the part of Washington I am in. Finally after almost a week of icky rain.

I forgot the almost at the top reason I love my husband: He can aim and he puts the toilet seat down!!

Exercise is good for cramps. One of the kids I taught had bad cramps and looked at me with death eyes when I told her we were going ahead with the riding lesson. 10 minutes later they were gone. I will say "feed the beast". What other time do we need comfort food like then. No offense re: sex. I'm just glad that most…

All over, my sister in law works at Lowe's in Illinois and called us in WA. We just bought a house, so we went and spent some money today on it. Just let them know at the register. Also, the one here at least is doing a $99 installation of all carpet (as in whole house when purchased) and 20% off special ordered tile and…

My baby is a complete military man with all the attitude that comes with it, but when he walks in the door, he switches it off (mostly). But is a great husband, supportive when I need it, backs away when I ask, loves me completely w/o smothering me. Loves the boys and will do anything for them or me. And yeah, we can fight…

I don't know. If anyone else has the answer, let us know. Actually, I don't get raving. I get food cravings about twice a year, light cramps for about 8 hours and then I'm doing the hurry up and get over this so I can get laid. Serious build up of those hormones. Occassionally I will have a bad one and then I am stuck. But…

It's hard to cuddle afterwards in the shower, water is always cold. Nighty night nookie, always (if we didn't wake the kids up), everything else, depends on the mood. Give me a hard man in a hot uniform!! Eyes, hands and chest and a super sweet sexy voice.
