Comedy Caravan for a good cause
A great friend of mine lost her 14 year old son in a bicycle vs. car accident last June. The family has started the Bikes with Wings Foundation to raise money to build a skate/bike park in Mt. Washington and give kids a safe place to feed their interests. The City of Mt. Washington is donating land, but they still need to…

Nutrition is my weak spot ...
I can lift - I love to lift - and I have no problem eating. But hitting those macros is tough some days. I work full-time and run all over town with 3 kids when I'm not at a desk. I've been using a couple of websites with healthy recipes that I can feed the kids, too, mostly skinnytaste.com, but I'd love to hear your…

My dog is so dumb ...
His name is Bruno, but I call him D.A.D. (dumb *kitten* dog) We bought him a bark collar, because, well, he's a great dog but a serious nuisance barker. If a leaf falls off a tree outside, I swear he barks for 10 minutes. Well, we put the collar on. He kept barking. All I've heard all day is "WOOF" followed by horrible…

Frozen meals
I know, I know. They are loaded with sodium, carbs and preservatives that aren't very good for me. But sometimes, they are just too convenient not to pass up as a take-to-work lunch option. So, with that in mind, I'm looking for opinions on the "healthiest" ones - the ones with a good amount of protein that aren't insanely…

Upper body ONLY weight routine for man needed!
Ok, so hubby was working out with me, but he also has a really physical job that requires constant walking, squatting, lunging and lifting. His docs have now told him that his groin muscles are NOT YET herniated, but are headed in that direction. He needs to avoid any weight training that involves those muscles, but it was…

Healthy Recipes needed for camping trip!
We're taking the kids on a week-long primitive camping trip to Mammoth Cave, KY next month. I really need some food ideas - both things I can make fresh and stuff I can make in advance. Ingredients and pre-made items have to travel well in a cooler packed with ice or be stable without refrigeration. When I say primitive, I…

"Boy" Pushups!
NSV! I know it's a small thing to many, but I am so completely proud of myself for being able finally do regular pushups! I completed 3 sets of 8 "boy" pushups last night and might have actually had it in me to do 10 :smokin: I've never had the upper body strength to do more than 5 before! On top of that, my squat weight…

NROLFW ... for husbands?
Hey all! I got back into lifting a few months ago, and discovered NROLFW. I just completed my first 2 workouts. My husband belongs to my gym, but never goes. In fact, he's never lifted weights in his life. He's decided he wants to work out with me 2 days a week ... purely out of insecurity. (He remembers what I looked like…

bottomless feeling in your stomach!
Anyone else ever have those days where you just feel hungry all day long? What do you do to feel satisfied? I get them once or twice a week, but today is particularly awful. I normally don't have a snack for 2 more hours, but I'm hungry and actually slightly lightheaded. I'm getting ready to eat half an apple and some…
