  • I actually decided to start this yesterday, without even knowing about this thread, so I am in! I've always hated running, mostly because I have bad knees, but I also know that it's a really great workout. I'm hoping that by easing in with C25k, I can keep my knee pain in check and actually get through it! Great to know…
  • Resting sore muscles is just as important as working out. The day of rest after an intense strength training workout helps to build and repair muscle. I'd suggest doing some cardio, like your usual walking until the soreness in your muscles goes down a bit. On Sundays I go to a BodyPump class at Gold's and on Mondays, I'll…
  • With regular yogurt, I've never been able to stomach the fruit on the bottom kinds. I find that it never really blends for me and you're left with little balls of yogurt that freak me out.

  • I'm tv obsessed. I have 2 tivos that are always full with comedies, dramas and reality tv. One of my all-time favorite shows has to be Boy Meets World! Love it.....watch it every morning while I get ready to go to work. I quote it more than I should even though no one else around me gets the references. "They want you to…
  • Healthy choice potstickers are my crack.....they are insanely tasty for a frozen meal. I find the pasta meals in classic flavors to be the tastiest - spinach raviolis, lasagna, and angel hair with veggies and fettuccine alfredo with chicken are my go-to's.
