Looking for good strength training dvd recommendations
Hi everyone, So my Zumba teacher said I could definitely be rocking my body *IF* I added some good core and strength training to my zumba workouts. I'm stuck at 21 lbs now for two weeks. It's frustrating as heck and I know I could be killing some good calories. So here's my goal --- give me some video ideas for DVD's YOU…

Hair help... c'mon ladies, give me some good product suggest
My hair used to be shiney, beautiful, never held a curl because it's not thick, I just have a lot of hair. NOW.. it's frizzy (tries to go curly when I wash it -- sometimes it just frizzes terribly), feels very much like straw and it takes a hot iron to make it feel half decent. I don't always want to do this for fear of…

My Friday NSV...and it's 10 years in the making. =)
I found a bunch of clothes under my bed in a bag marked "Will fit in -- EVENTUALLY." I hated that bag. I'd curse it every time I cleaned and had to pull things from under the bed. I'd kick it. I'd stick my tongue out at it and give it the almighty middle finger. I felt like that bag sat there and laughed at me. Laughed…

What song are you jamming to at the moment?!
Mine is 'Helena Beat' by Foster the People. I love that I can have my radio on at work and it helps the time go by but it also helps me focus. Then, I hear a song and will add it to my list of running songs. What's your current "jam"?

Fall/Winter Running Gear
Looking for some assistance for some Fall/Winter running gear. Obviously, in the summer I was wearing tanks and dry-wick products, especially the socks. With the cold temps upon us, I am at a dire straights about what to wear. Does anyone have any good product suggestions? I have to run outside as I don't have any access…

Not quite a "Success Story" but wanted to say...
I'm not at the level yet of being a success story. Actually, far from it. I don't classify 9 lbs as being a super huge loss. Yes, I know, I am hard on myself. Call it "the parents upbringing" of being super hard on me as a kid. It still sticks at age 34. But the reason I'm posting is just to say "thank you." When I feel…

Need a good side dish recipe
Hey gang -- I'm going to a party on Sunday that will have approximately 50 people attending. Does anyone have any good, EASY (and preferrably low-cost) ideas for a good side dish? The typical potato salad and coleslaw are already on the list. I was hoping for something fun, yet easy that people will enjoy. Your ideas are…

Am I the only one who is always...
...hungry?? Seriously. I eat a decent breakfast -- most often I make myself an omlette of egg substitute (1/2 cup) and load it with veggies like peppers, mushrooms and broccoli. That's around 7:30 - 8am. But by 10 am, I am ravishing. I eat a late lunch because I often go walk for a half hour and eat at my desk. Today, I…

Fun shopping NSV
I haven't been able to walk into a New York & Co. store in about 6 years. I can't fit into their clothes, so I would just wander on by and go to Lane Bryant where I would purchase clothes that looked like tents in bright, bold patterns. I would hate them. I'd cry in the dressing room. Even though I've only lost 6 lbs, I…

Found this on another site.. very motivational for the ladie
I didn't write this but wanted to share: I've Decided I'm Doing This for Me I'm doing this for me. Not for those who called me too fat to be pretty. Not for the snooty vendors who look down on me when I try on dresses. Not for those who say "Too bad, she has a pretty face". Not to make my parents happy. Not to fit in to a…

Psoriatic and Osteo Arthritis -- anyone dealing with these i
So, a month ago, I was diagnosed with Psoriatic Arthritis (PA) and early stage Osteo-Arthritis in both knees. I'm only 34 years old. After getting really sick in January, I never ever felt "right." I'd get bad aches and pains in my joints. I just started to run last year, ran my first 5K in May and made a decent time for…

Frustration was broken by....a Dunkin Doughnut =(
Yes, I admit it. I'm frustrated. I work in an office where the managers very rarely bring in any kind of "treat" that doesn't involve sugar and loads of lard. Don't I have enough of that on my *kitten*?! After staying in the 1200 - 1300 range the past several days and working out at least 45 minutes to an hour 3-5 days, I…

Emotional Fluffer
So, I was listening to my morning show this morning and they were talking about a scenario from "New Girl" in which the guy talks to the main character (female) about how she's an "emotional fluffer." Basically, you do all the things you would do with a significant other with a member of the opposite sex, except be…
