Have you heard of this plant?
My son's naturopath introduced us to this plant almost 2 years ago. We pick and dry it, and make him a tea that he drinks twice a day. His environmental and food allergies are greatly reduced, which is so wonderful! If you know anyone who suffers from allergies, or respiratory issues, check out this link.…

E-reader....yes or no?
Trying to decide if I should invest in an e-reader. I love books, read all the time, but don't know if I could get into reading on the screen all the time. Anyone have one and what do you think? What models do you like?

Weight training at home - where to start?
I am looking to add some weight training to my routine, which is primarily cardio right now. However, I do all my workouts from home, so I am looking for some ideas on basic equipment to get started with, or what will give me the best variety on workouts for a reasonable price.

Keeping HRM connection in pool
I just did my first "water" exercise session, an aquasize class and some lap swimming. I have a Polar FT-7 HRM with a chest strap and I had it done up very snug. If I was just standing in the water doing the movements, it was fine and reading well, but as soon as I submerged, I would lose the HR reading. Stand up and it…

Listening to my body but what is it saying?
It has been a couple of weeks of hovering around 161 pounds, give or take 0.5 pounds. Debating if it is my body's way of telling me that it is time to adjust the rate of weight loss again. Currently at 1 pound a week. I am 5'8", and only 10-11 pounds from my goal weight, already at a healthy BMI, so think it might be a…

Squash ideas
I am trying to introduce more squash to my meal plan and I am loving most of the varieties I have tried. Looking for some new ideas. Just came up with one today.
