  • Hi OP, There are a lot of great suggestions here... Personally, I LOVE my slow cooker... look around online or for books in the library for recipes. Most are just awesome and ridiculously easy. One suggestion for getting in some good cheap protein is try beans and lentils, especially the dried ones. Try slowly working them…
  • There are a lot of disorders/diseases that could easily get her that small without anorexia... Type 1 diabetes, celiac, hyperthyroid, cystic fibrosis to name a few... All of which are often undiagnosed until later in life. OP, you should probably get worked up for those as well... most are just a blood test.
  • Edmonton, AB... although grew up on Vancouver Island. {edit} I just noticed that you are in Kamloops... I lived there for 2 years when I went to TRU for Resp. Therapy. LOVE IT there!
  • Zumba Gold is for seniors.... try finding a Zumba Cardio class... it will definitely get your HR up!!
  • I took my 16 year old son to a Hatha yoga class a couple months ago, and during class I let out a little tiny fart... nothing much, especially by yoga standards... but he heard it and started giggling, and giggling, and then someone else in the class farted, and he started laughing even more. Then everyone else started…
  • OP, you never mentioned what the doctor told you to do... Any which way, if she is a good doctor and thinks that you are anorexic, you should be able to access the right resources to get you to gain weight... seeing a dietician, a physiotherapist (for appropriate exercises) and maybe even a psychologist / counselor (even…
  • These are all hilarious!! Love this thread! I was doing a sprint triathlon a few years back, starting in an indoor pool. I finished my swim, ran past EVERYONE at the pool, out the doors, over to the bike transition area, trying to figure out why everyone was looking at me funny. Apparently not only my left boob managed to…
  • bump (sorry, I still need advice!)
  • When I was a green belt in TKD, one of the men in my class and I were both going through bad breakups (not with each other), and we just beat the crap out of each other (I will state - completely consensual! We never pounded anyone else like that) with full gear on. My side turning kick and back kick are AWESOME because of…
  • No, I don't take a reliever, as I don't have any bronchospasm (like asthma), so bronchodilators like salbutamol/Ventolin or Salmeterol won't do anything for me but give me a high heart rate. (The painful irony to all of this is that I was a Respiratory Therapist!! ) I don't think that the walking or slow swimming is a…
  • I've been adding it under cardio too... feels kinda like I'm cheating in some way! :P
  • That's a great link! Thanks for posting it... definitely won't be buying a HRM now due to personal physical reasons, it just wouldn't make sense! Marg
  • I did Taekwon do for years, and a little bit of judo on the side... I have to say that the most important thing that you need to look for in a martial arts club (ANY of them), is the atmosphere and if their teaching style suits you. One club I was in was very family oriented, the other had just recruited a pile of people…
