Can't wait to read this. All the positive talk stuff can annoy me sometimes. :lol: :grouphug: Your baby is absolutely precious! Yes, I was also annoyed by the Flavia book trying too hard to be British. It's really and truly one of my pet peeves. The Outlander book was really bad that way also. I only read a little bit of it before I threw it away. Drove me out of my mind. Read this a few years ago and it's one of my favorites. Don't like Downton Abbey either, but loved Fall of Giants.

nm Me too. Love, love, love snow globes. I need to start collecting them from wherever I go. I wish I'd started earlier. We live in the tropics and I do so miss having four seasons.

Rest day - but lots of housework to do.

I have nothing to add really. I'm so sorry for all those who are going through cancer :grouphug: . I just quoted the above posts since I agree with them and feel that when going through all the difficulties and stress of cancer, the last thing I would want is to get all legalistic and have the "my table, my rules" sort of mentality. I used to think otherwise. I've changed. I just don't think it's necessarily as simple as that. My main goal would be to bring the family closer together. Getting all tied up in rules and regulations would just likely cause further problems. The OP has kids who are older, like mine, and I know that this sort of thing just gets harder. It seems easier to give these rules and expect the children to abide by them when they're younger. When they're older, it really is not that simple and clear-cut anymore. This is not the battle I would choose.

About to do 5-Day Fit: Hip Openers

Thanks so much. Off to read it. :)

Different moves from magazine clippings, Pinterest, etc. :grouphug: That's beautiful. :) When I first started barre, I was tempted to buy a DVD by her, probably the same one. I haven't ruled it out. I just have far too many DVDs. Free Barre Workouts!!! :hurray:

You're sweet :grouphug: :lol: . With regards to a good B complex, I don't know. I would look into the brands I listed in my previous post. Vitacost is great and you can narrow your search - for example - one without soy or whatever. I try to avoid soy as much as possible. Editing to add:I don't take B vitamins anymore. Most of them make me nauseous and I believe in fewer supplements and more emphasis on a healthy diet. I still take several supplements, but mostly things like Magnesium, Bone Meal, etc. Again, minerals are what most of us are deficient in. That's very interesting. How do you use it? Just baking soda and water - and if so, how much?

Alley, yes, practicing definitely makes it better. My balance is not that good at all, but I do notice that when I'm regular and consistent, I improve. The older we get, the more challenging it becomes to maintain balance. Balance is one of the keys in preventing falls later in life. I love the book for detailed instruction and benefits with regards to each pose. I refer to it often for that. To me, it's motivating. I don't think she does DVDs. For an absolute beginner, it's hard for me to say which one. I absolutely love the Yin Yoga DVD. Yin Yoga is basically holding a stretch for 3-5 minutes or so. It gives you a much deeper stretch and has incredible benefits. My instructor told me that it's the closest thing to acupuncture. Both DVDs have sections for beginners. I would suggest looking at video samples of any DVD before purchasing. See if it's what you like. DVDs are quite subjective and tastes vary. Honestly, I love both of his DVDs and wish that he would come out with more. http://www.myyogaonline.com/about-us/teachers/mark-laham - has quite a few video samples. The totalfitnessdvd site in my previous post also has samples. Lots of people, especially those who are averse to yoga being weird or whatever, find that they like Sarah Ivanhoe - she has a few DVDs on amazon. I'd love to get Ellen Barrett's Yogini Workout - simply because I love Ellen. I heard about it on the Video Fitness forums. I haven't tried it out yet. There's lots of free workouts online. Tons of barre workouts also. Heaven! I used to take a weekly Yin Yoga class on the beach. :)

:iagree: Me neither. Added these to my wish list. These days, with the book that I'm currently reading especially, that'e exactly how I feel. This. :) This looks good, but not sure if I have the courage to read it :eek:. I've read a few of these. Interesting list. Adding some to my wish list.

Denise Austin: Get Fit Daily Dozen. You're sweet. :grouphug: No need to thank me. And anytime that I can't start the thread, any one of you, please feel free to do so. BTW, what does ADMG stand for? :) Kim, my core has always been weak also. I'm trying to constantly remind myself to pull them in throughout the day. Of course, you can join :grouphug:. I love Ellen Barrett DVDs and have to say that she is one of my favorites.

I've been in love with yoga since I was 14. A friend of ours had a book and I would just practice the poses on and off until I took my first class in my late 20s. I've taken classes on and off through the years. Now I usually do DVDs. My absolute favorites are the DVDs by Mark Laham. Use their "10off" code and you'll get an extra 10% off and/or free shipping. I feel so energized and my muscles feel so stretched. He's a great instructor and you really get your $'s worth with each DVD - about 3 separate workouts in each DVD. He knows his stuff. Plus, he's not annoying, like some exercise videos can be. I have lots of yoga DVDs, and, to me, he, is without a doubt, the absolute best. My former yoga instructor liked him a lot also. And her opinion is one that I obviously respect. And here's a free yoga site! I would say, yes it is bad form. Me too, Hated it!

Nothing yet today. Hoping to do some yoga later.
