SPMom2 recommended Jillian Michael's DVD workout: Banish Fat Boost Metabolism. ( I've seen it referred to as BFBM on the blogs) So, I ordered it online today from Wal-Mart.com with the free site-to-store shipping. Sounds like a challenge but not toooooo much of a challenge that I give up after day one. I should have the DVD the beginning of November, if not sooner.

I like that dvd a lot. It has so many different moves that even if you skip a few (if they're too challenging) you'll get great exercise. And you can work up to doing it all. Good luck! Report Inappropriate Comment

Trying something new

Sunday, October 24, 2010

Skinny litlle bff thinks that she can do a better job of helping me lose weight than I can. Seeing as she has never been overweight a day in her life (including 2 pregnancies), I don't think that she has a clue.
Nevertheless, I am trying things "her" way.
She hasn't given me the "guidelines" and today is day one.
I'm sure there's more things than whats she's mentioned below:

I think her whole premise is that I need to do the small mini-meals.
Breakfast lunch and dinner plus two snacks a day, etc.
Have more variety other than my elliptical
No calorie counting


That last one is kind of a sticking point with me. It makes sense to me that if I want to lose weight as I've done before, I should watch calories IN, plus calories OUT. BUT I am willing to put aside my assumptions and see what happens.

Local Twin Cities people- question for you

Sunday, October 17, 2010

Since I've signed on to be a co-leader for SparkMinneapolis.com, I thought it would be cool to host a Meet and Greet.. not exercise related..

Question:

Does anyone have a suggestion for where to hold the event?
Does anyone have family/friends that owns a local coffee shop/grocery store/restaurant/ etc that has meeting space?

Suggestions welcome!!!

That's a great idea! I'm not sure what the space is like, but Common Roots Cafe in Minneapolis has a meeting room that they let community groups use for free, I am guessing we might qualify? http://www.commonro otscafe.com/ourcommunity.htm Report Inappropriate Comment

* A list of possible causes
* Descriptions and accompanying symptoms of those causes
* List of necessary diagnostic tests
* Standard treatment options
* Access to referral lines
* Medical facility locator

iTriage also helps consumers make more informed health care decisions based on quick access to information such as:

* Contact information for hospitals, doctors and pharmacies
* Quality-of-care reports
* Emergency room wait times
