This Banana Chocolate Cupcake recipe makes 24 regular-sized cupcakes which is perfect for a large gathering or birthday party. The batter is a snap to make because you just stir the wet ingredients together in one bowl and the dry ingredients together in another bowl. Mix the two and you are done. The batter is quite thin so use an ice cream scoop or small ladle to fill the muffin cups. Now while the recipe calls for cocoa powder, it doesn't specify which kind, which means you can use either regular unsweetened or Dutch-processed. As always, keep in mind that the type and brand of cocoa powder you use will determine the flavor of the cupcakes, so use the best you can afford. The other ingredient in this batter to take note of, is that the fat is in liquid form (canola or corn oil). The reason I bring this up is because oil makes for a moist and tender cupcake that stores very well, with the added advantage that they can be refrigerated and still stay soft.

Good history museum. They try and change it up a bit with different exhibits and lectures. Glad to be a member. Easy Parking
One of Atlanta's Best! – The Atlanta History Center is absolutely one of my favorite places in Atlanta. I am currently an intern here at the AHC, but my love for this organization goes back 8 years.
When my family moved to Atlanta, the AHC was one of the first places we checked out. My mom and I loved taking tours of the gorgeous Swan House and having lunch in the Chick-fil-A cafe. My Dad, an outdoors enthusiast, enjoyed strolling the gardens (over 28 acres) and exploring the Tullie Smith Farm.
As well as being a great family (and kid-friendly) destination, the AHC is also a beautiful venue for special events, corporate meetings, and weddings. Seriously, look at the pictures of the Swan House - could you imagine a more breathtaking backdrop for a wedding?
I'm loving that I intern in such a fun and friendly environment. If you haven't been here, print out the $2 coupon on this page and stop by! There's always something fun going on.
A good mix of the new and old makes for a compelling take on Atlanta's history. – The Scene
The modern museum takes you through Atlanta's history, from Indian settlements to the Civil War to the Civil Rights movement and the 1996 Olympic Games. Atlanta's best museum of local interest contains four major sections: the largest, most comprehensive Civil War exhibit in the South, a colorful time capsule of Atlanta through the decades, a folk art gallery, and a tribute to golf great Bobby Jones. Nationally touring exhibits complement the permanent collection.
The Facts
Two historic houses, the Swan Coach House--a 1928 Georgian mansion-turned-gallery and lunch spot--and the 1845 Tullie Smith Farm plantation home are open for touring. Both are on the National Register of Historic Places. The 33 acres of gardens, woodlands and nature trails allow visitors to learn more about plants native to the state. The center's research archives hold books, journals, manuscripts and visual materials that aid in Atlanta and Southern history studies.
Go here first; bring out of towners too – There are great 'natural history' museums, and there are great art, or science or other museums. I think this is the best museum I've seen that is just about the local area. It is incredible that you could spend a whole day just learning about the heritage of the south, of Georgia, and Atlanta. This museum includes a view of the city from past to present, starting in the early days when it was just a railroad link, up to today when it is the capital of the southeast with transport, commerce, and a great culutural center.
Civil war section is probably the best I've seen. Make sure to go out back and check out the mini-farm, and the beautiful mansion owned by one of the coke founders.
Educational trip back in time – As a northerner and relative newcomer to the area, I found the Atlanta History Center to offer a comprehensive history of the area. It's one thing to "know" about Atlanta history and another to immerse yourself in the artifacts and stories of the time. The portions on segregation were particularly sobering.

Heyman says the Dodgers aren't in on Youk, looks more and more likely that he's coming here.
Pretty sure Youk is coming here. As far as we know, the Indians and Yankees were the only ones to offer him a contract. Seeing as how Reynolds is about to sign with the Indians, we win

1st Leg- April 23rd in Madrid.
2nd Leg- April 29th in Munich.
I wouldn't have minded signing Reynolds to the 1 year / 6M deal he signed with the Indians. The guy can mash and that's a good value deal.
Yankees - Jets - Rockets

The whole potential Youk to the Yankees situation reminds me of the Wade Boggs to the Yankees, years ago. That worked out alright for us. I don't mind this for one year.
Seriously, that deal is a steal compared to double for Youk! There is no way that Youk will have twice the production of Reynolds. I wanted Reynolds here...Originally Posted by nyyfan4life:24666414

Who knows.

Youk is not signing today, he is watching the Patriots game at The stadium, he would get harassed by the fans if he signed with Yanks today, we should know one way or another on Tuesday,

Attorneys general from New York, 13 other states, and the District of Columbia will file similar motions in the same court today.
The motion to stay follows on the heels of suits filed last month the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington, D.C., by a coalition of conservation and public health organizations and a number of state attorneys general.
According to the lawsuits (State of New York, et al. v. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, D.C. Cir. No. 03-1380 and consolidated cases), the Bush administration's rule change creates a loophole in the Clean Air Act's new source review program, allowing more than 20,000 power plants, refineries and other industrial facilities to install replacement equipment without updating pollution controls, even when the replacement increases air pollution. Recently, the Environmental Protection Agency announced plans to drop enforcement cases against dozens of facilities charged with violations of the pre-existing new source review provisions.
Earthjustice is representing the American Lung Association, Communities for a Better Environment, Environmental Defense, NRDC (Natural Resources Defense Council), Sierra Club and U.S. Public Interest Research Group (U.S. PIRG) in the case. Meanwhile, the Clean Air Task Force is representing seven state and regional environmental groups.

Pharyngitis, or sore throat, is discomfort, pain, or scratchiness in the throat. It often makes it painful to swallow.
Pharyngitis - bacterial; Sore throat
Pharyngitis is caused by swelling in the back of the throat (pharynx) between the tonsils and the (larynx).
Most sore throats are caused by colds or the flu. Coxsackie virus or mononucleosis can also cause sore throat.
Bacteria that can cause pharyngitis in some cases.
Most cases of pharyngitis occur during the colder months. The illness often spreads among family members.
The main symptom is a sore throat.
Other symptoms may include:
Your health care provider will perform a physical exam and look at your throat.
A rapid test or throat culture to test for strep throat may be done. Other laboratory tests may be done depending on the suspected cause.
Most sore throats are caused by viruses. A few of these illnesses (such as some types of influenza) may be helped by antiviral medicines.
Antibiotics do not help viral sore throats. Using these medicines to treat viral infections helps strengthen bacteria and make them resistant to antibiotics.
Sore throats should only be treated with antibiotics if a strep test is positive. Strep cannot be accurately diagnosed by symptoms or a physical exam alone.
The following tips may help your sore throat feel better:

You need to finish the replacement is all.
I'm in the process of putting in a new water heater so I have my hot water tank completely removed.
Now when I run the cold water in my sink, I am seeing some water come out of the hot water intake line. Additionally, now some cold water will out of the hot water taps if I open them.
Does this indicate some problem with the hot water getting into the cold line?
You are turning on both the hot AND cold faucets, which causes the water to backflow into the hot pipes. Connect the heater, but stop using the faucets until you are done.

Maybe, but in fact it is an infrequently performed play, the least performed comedy alongside Two Gentlemen of Verona, so any chance to see it should be taken. Be assured that the NT and RSC productions are sufficiently different to make both worthwhile, without spoiling it the RSC one is far darker in setting (as is supported by the text).

Well ...
since, say, 2006 there have been major productions at the Globe, the RSC (west end), the Open Air Theatre (2010), the National and by Propeller. The Globe also did a new touring version in 2009 and 2010. The RSC did a young persons version in 2010, and the big new production this year. It is often on on the fringe.
One of his most performed comedies?
The Two Gents and the Two Noble Kinsmen are the real rarities, no major productions by any of the above since 2006.
Looking forward to the RSC's new version.

On the one hand, it's uproariously funny, in a way in which Shakespeare's comedies often aren't. The language is well-spoken enough that you can catch the jokes, the physical comedy is very well done and the general pace and style exploits the humour. On the other hand, it has a dark and nasty edge which gives some depth to the threats of execution the play opens with. People I wasn't quite convinced by in The Tempest were very good, and Kirsty Bushell's Adriana and Emily Taaffe's Luciana leave me looking forward to their Viola and Olivia. Jon Slinger gives an excellent cameo as Doctor Pinch, although that careless technique with jump-leads means he won't be getting a job with the AA any time soon. It's quick, at a little over two hours, although there are a couple of points during which the director's a little too pleased with the staging and allows the pace to drop. There's an excellent running rapping joke, into which I think I heard one of the Dromios slip a quick "motherfucker".
I was in row B, just upstage of the front stage right corner, which was my first trip to the "side" of a performance in the new main house. I thought that it worked very well in terms of blocking, although there were a couple of points in which it was hard to see upstage owing to the lighting glare onto my glasses. And my seat had a little table, too, which was nice. It was, on the other hand, very cold: the young woman sat next to me left her coat on throughout, and I rather wished I hadn't left mine in the car. Given the choice I'd prefer that to the horrible stuffiness some theatres are prone to, but I'd rather some sort of happy medium!
I don't think I've seen it before, and it's fairly obvious why it's not produced very often. But it was a very enjoyable evening out, and well worth the price of admission. That the RSC puts the same, or more, attention into minor Shakespeare as into the big set pieces is one of its strengths.

I have returned to Stratford-upon-Avon for my annual summer break . I will be catching up with the season's second theme, Shipwreck Trilogy, comprising The Comedy of Errors, Twelfth Night, and The Tempest. I will also be seeing the two latest productions, Much Ado About Nothing (including a Directors Talk) and for the first time Troilus and Cressida.
Having seen the NT's production Live, what is good about this version is that it manages to mix together the dark and farcical elements of the play, something the former was not brave enough to go into depth about. Whilst sticking to this farcical comedy, the Duke's strict reign was never forgotten, such as the fact that the Brothers of Syracuse first appear from a crate as illegal immigrants
Whilst the slapstick moments were in top form they were not as creative as previous productions I have seen. As an example, this production lacked a big chase sequence, which was quite a dissapointment. It would have been interesting to see how such an event can be performed on the thrust stage.
However, what makes this a better production than the National Theatre's is that it was intimate and versatile. For example, when it came to using something as simple as a door for the twins to shout through at each other, the National Theatre's production was restricted by its grandiose set. In this production the cast only used one moveable door with aplomb.
Stephen Hagan, Jonathan McGuinness, Felix Hayes, and Bruce Mackinnon were great as the twin brothers. Hayes and Mackinnon in particular were very expressive and energetic as the comic servants. This is however the first time I noticed that the director did not put enough effort into establishing the allusion that the twins were identical. Whilst I would overlook the different pitches in the servants' voices, Adrianna would have noticed that her husband had suddenly aged and shortened in height.
Sandy Grierson was an impressive Solinus, and Nicholas Day was great as Egeon as he told the character's woeful tales. Emily Taaffe was a sweet and innocent Luciana, whilst Kirsty Bushell was an overpowering and furious Adrianna. Lastly, Jonathan Slinger performed Doctor Pinch with grotesque panache.
The stage compromised of wooden boards and a water tank from beneath, which reminds one of a shipwreck. In keeping with this waterlogged theme, an industrial dock was used as the setting for this production. A crane for instance was used to lift certain pieces of the set
This production is a step up from the National Theatre's production. It is a very good start to the trilogy and should be seen at a High Matinee

So what ? All that is required is that the audience suspends their disbelief and accept that they look the same. If you were worried about that then you will have even more of an issue with Twelfth Night. Cross-casting three plays is hard enough without having to satisfy the literal-minded audience members.

Home warranty companies topped the Angie's List worst-graded categories list in 2012 for the eighth-consecutive year. Read your warranty thoroughly and double-check what it actually covers and your deductible. Home warranties can protect you when you buy an existing home, especially if it's older or the mechanicals haven't been properly maintained or are outdated.
Warranties are not designed to act as insurance to protect homeowners from loss. Rather, they're intended to provide service, repair or replacement on a home's appliances and major systems, such as heating and electric. Consumers have told us they've had whole air conditioning units replaced by home warranty companies. It all depends on your individual warranty and the company who provides it.
Grades on Angie's List, the nation's leading provider of consumer reviews, are based on overall experience, price, quality, responsiveness, punctuality and professionalism.
4 most common complaints about home warranties:
- Homeowners don't understand or feel misled about what their warranty covers
- Poor customer service
- Long wait times
- Issues with the quality of the work done by the contractors sent by the home warranty companies
7 ways to get the most out of your home warranty:
1. If you are considering adding a home warranty or home service contract to your purchase, be sure to read the contract carefully. Find out what the warranty covers, and what it doesn't cover.
2. Check with your state's department of insurance to verify if the home warranty company you're considering is properly licensed to do business. If licensing isn't required in your state, inquire about the company's status with your local consumer protection agency, as well as Angie's List.
3. Compare multiple policies, as coverage can vary significantly and check company reviews to find out as much as you can about other homeowners' experiences with the warranty company.
4. If you have a service issue, ask for the names of three contractors they could send out. Then, research those contractors, call the warranty company back and tell them which contractor you prefer.
5. If your warranty is purchased through your real estate agent, tell your real estate agent about any denied claims. Oftentimes, he or she will have a relationship with the home warranty company and can make a call on your behalf.
6. If there are deductibles for service calls in addition to the initial warranty cost – typically between $350 and $500 a year – you might decide you're better off without the warranty.
7. June, July and August are typically their busiest months for claims. To reduce wait times call late in the day or later in the week when call volumes are lower, provided it's not an urgent issue. Also make service requests online or use an automated voice system.
7 components of a good home warranty
1. Get an inspection before you sign: Many home warranty companies will advertise that inspection is not necessary. This leaves a large loophole for companies to avoid paying claims. Most warranties have a clause stating that pre-existing conditions are not covered. If the company doesn't inspect the home before you purchase your warranty, it's your word against theirs. Make sure a home inspection is included if pre-existing conditions aren't covered under the warranty agreement.
2. Appliance coverage: Home warranties companies vary in what they cover. Appliances such as the refrigerator, stove and dishwasher should always be included. A good home warranty will also cover your washer, dryer, garbage disposal and built-in microwave. If you have other appliances, review the contract to determine whether they will be covered.
3. HVAC and ducts coverage: Air conditioners and furnaces built-in to the home should be covered in a home warranty agreement. Heat pumps and duct work would also be included in the home warranty plan. Heat lamps and other portable devices that aren't built into the home are usually not covered.
4. Plumbing and electrical coverage: This coverage should include electrical panels, wiring, drains and pipes. The home warranty company may decide not to cover these systems if they're not installed according to code. If you're buying a home, ask the seller for plumbing and electrical contractor information.
5. Low deductible: The length of a home warranty is generally one year from the closing date of the sale. The price generally runs from $250 to $500. Your deductible for a good warranty should be no more than $100. Do the math to determine if paying $600 to the warranty company before any work is done is worth it.
6. Around the clock customer service: A home warranty company with a 24-hour service line allows you to get in touch with somebody immediately to get the process of repairing something started.
What to do before you need to use your warranty:
· Who you gonna call? Keep the phone number and policy number with you. Program it into your phone or computer. If you have an emergency situation while not at home, you need to be able to contact your home warranty company.

Robot rover tackles uneven ground using screw drive
Engineer Tim Lexen has created a prototype ranger device that can move across rough terrain using an omnidirectional screw drive system (Photos: Tim Lexen)
Article Summary
Some day in the future, it's possible that an unmanned rover may go trundling across the Martian landscape not on wheels, but on three rotating steel coils. While able to traverse rugged terrain without getting stuck, it could also move sideways to get around obstacles, would be unlikely to malfunction as it would have very few moving parts, and could perhaps even remain mobile if it were to take a tumble and flip over. Although such a vehicle might not be exploring Mars any time particularly soon, a fully-functioning prototype does already exist here on Earth, and its design could find terrestrial applications.

Hi Sparkle,
Wow, that's the greatest compliment a husband can give!! That's so great. You've motivated me to get-up and get-going. Spring is just around the corner like you said (contrary to what it looks like here,lol), and when I started this back in November, I had visions of myself looking svelt in a bathing suit this summer. It's not too late, but I better stop procrastinating or it will be!
I hope karensgreatbody will join us also.
And look at you, for someone who didn't like to exercise, you're just rolling along and participating in all kinds of new classes! I'm so jealous. We don't have those opportunities here. There isn't even a gym/fitness facility here. The closest one is 1/2 hour away. I'll just have to use my Insanity dvds, treadmill and weights. But that works for me, as long as I use them:)
Take care and enjoy the Abs Assault class tonight!
Hi JanZim,
My abs were certainly assaulted! We did tons of crunches! What I like about this instructor, George Hood, is that he explains exactly what is happening with the body with each move. It is amazing how much stronger I am in such a short time! I was never able to hold a plank for very long and now I can hold it longer. We had to do planks on a stability ball today. I hope to keep up with the exercise part of BFL, because I just hate the thought of starting over. I can't believe that I am actually enjoying this! I am sleeping better too! I realized that I was just going through the motions with exercise and now I am very conscious about every move.
Do you have a Bosu Ball? It is used so much at the club and really has huge benefits. My balance has improved so much from using it. If you get started now, you will definitely be ready for swimsuit season! Just bite the bullet and force yourself. You will feel so much better!
It's great to be talking with you again! Have a great day!
Well, I did an Insanity workout tonight. You're right, I do feel so much better, mind and body. It's a start. I'm hoping it won't take as long to see results this time...there's gotta be some muscle left in there somewhere!:)
I'm pretty sure I am going to be sore tomorrow, a gentle reminder to keep going and push myself.
Is your son still playing hockey or is it all finished now? We are away this weekend with my daughter's volleyball. One more week of winter hockey, then the spring hockey starts. That goes until June. And volleyball goes until the end of May.
Anyways, have a good workout tomorrow!
Glad to hear you are back to working out! I bet you feel great! Just keep thinking about wearing a swimsuit this summer!
We just finished hockey and my son doesn't play spring. He plays baseball and indoor practices have already started.
I have been doing great with my workouts, however, I tend to not workout over the weekend. I need to change that, even if I just go for a power walk. I cannot believe how free I feel with having 2 boys away at college. I still have my little guy at home - but it is so easy with 1. Like all of us moms - I always put my family first. That is why I am so behind on my exercise regime.
As you know from past communications, I am very much into health and healthy eating. I will continue to pass along any tips I come across. I read every health and fitness magazine I can get my hands on. I am really diligent with my yearly exams too. My doctor was offering a lipid panel where they draw 4 vials of blood which they test and give an in depth report on various levels like cholesterol, thyroid . . . And various other information. I decided to take the test, because many times when levels are off - it is hard to lose weight. I have not been having any problems, but I want to find out for sure.
I will share my results when I get them back.
You are going to laugh, but I actually keep notes of things I want to tell you! I am going to try a recipe using kale. If it turns out, I will send it to you!
I hope your eating is going well! Have a great workout! I am heading to yoga class now!
Hi Sparkle.
Since I last talked to you, I have been to 2 exercise classes that are offered in a neighbouring town. A school teacher is putting it on. She's not a fitness instructor, but she follows a program and makes it a lot of fun. It kind of reminds me a bit of Insanity, but not quite as intense. It's good, and much more fun to do with others.
It's been so cold here, -26 in the mornings. Unusual for this time of year. I can't wait until this snow melts. I'm anxious to start running/walking in the warm sunshine, but the way it's going here, I may be waiting until July!! Crazy weather!
I have not tried kale yet, but someone told me about a recipe using it as a baked chip. I think you sprinkle it with a bit of oil and spices and then put it in the oven and bake it and eat it as a chip. I was told it was very tasty and you can make it as spicy as you want.
I just bought a book yesterday that has 15 min workouts. I haven't tried any of them yet, but thought that it would be something that was useful with my schedule right now. If I have more than 15 min then I'll just combine a few of them together, or do more sets. I'll let you know how I like it.
Enjoy your workout today.
That's great that you found a group to exercise with! I really think it helps to exercise with others now and then. You kind of form a bond! I look forward to seeing all my workout friends! It has been cold in Chicago too, but not as cold as where you are! Hard to believe tomorrow is the first day of spring!
I have purposely not been logging into My Fitness Pal. Instead I have been recording my food intake on old fashioned paper. I find it easier to keep a binder with with a page for each day. It is easy for me to look back and get ideas on what to eat. BFL doesn't count calories and My Fitness Pal does. What method are you using?
I went to cardio sculpt class tonight. She really worked us! We used the Bosu ball, 3 different sets of weights and the band. We had to hold the plank for 1 minute while alternating lifting our legs. She made us do the plank 5 different times. My legs feel like rubber!
The book you bought sounds great! It's nice to change things up a bit. Let me know how it goes!
The scale doesn't really show much weight loss for me, but the girl who teaches cardio sculpt said that happens because fat is turning into muscle and muscle weighs more than fat. Muscle makes you look thinner than fat. She said the scale will start to show results. Many BFL people say the scales starts to change around week 8. We will see!
Tomorrow I am going to Lucky Legs class at the club. That world record guy I told you about is teaching! I probably won't be able to walk after that class!
You haven't mentioned anything about eating! How are you doing with that?
I hope you have a great day!
Ha ha, you called me on it. The reason I haven't mentioned anything about my eating is because it's been terrible and I didn't want to admit it. All I want to eat these days is chocolate and bread. Comfort food? I know what to eat and know how much better I feel when I do it, but somehow I am still making bad choices. I was using myfitnesspal before xmas and even when I was in the hospital with my family member. I liked to use it. It made me accountable to what I was eating.
This week is kind of crazy. I need to find some "me" time and organize my food plan. Things go so much smoother when I'm organized. Hopefully I can do that this week.
I have been looking at some other posts on here. There are some really amazing transformations. Quite inspirational. It helps to see others and makes me think that if they could do it, I can too.
I always look forward to any tips you share with me. Lately, I've been eating the greek yogurt with frozen berries for breakfast. Maybe I should be having some egg whites with it for more protein? The BFL eating plan is so simple. I don't know why I tend to make it complicated??
Hope the Lucky Legs class was good. Are your legs sore?
Have a great day!
I just finished a 90 minute workout with George Hood! 45 minutes on legs and 45 minutes on abs. It was a great class because he explains why we are doing certain moves. For instance, he had us stand along the wall facing the ballet bar. While holding onto the ballet bar we had to do 25 squats with toes pointed forward, 25 squats with toes pointed in and 25 squats with toes pointed out. He made us do 3 set of those squats. He explained that by moving the feet we were calling on different muscles in the leg and that is what gives us definition. It was a great workout! I belly fat is shrinking and I lost 2 pounds. I am so happy! I actually look forward to going to the classes!
Yes, I think if you plan out your eating you can make it work. When I don't plan my meals I reach for something easy and it is never a good choice! I am glad you are doing the frozen berries and yogurt. Sprinkling cinnamon on the yogurt is good too! Do you like sauerkraut? People either hate it or love it. It is very good for your digestive system (according to Dr. Oz) and a great food choice. It is low in calories and stops cravings.
Yes, I have seen some of the posts and they are impressive! You and I will be there soon! Work on your eating and I will continue to send any tips you might find helpful. How much weight do you need to lose? Ideally, I would love to lose 15 or so pounds!
I found another great magazine called - Oxygen. Have you ever seen. It? It has a lot of great articles!
Have a great day!
Hi All...
Hi JANZIM, Doing ok.....I had a restart, as of Feb 27, 2013....thus I'm only on WEEK #4, rather behind everybody else I'm afraid. Feeling good nontheless'. My body feels stronger, although my total weight(on my scale) has yet to budge...not even a pound...gerrrr. I'm mostly sore all the time, and a good day is when I can make it up the stairs without too much pain...lol. But believe it or not I'm getting used to the soreness, and I have to admit that I've only just begun to like my routine. Not happy about the way my legs are looking flabby now either. I'm hoping the new muscle I'm building may take care of some of that..
Can't believe how large this forum has grown, while I was away.....so great to read all the successes everyone is having...
hugs from 2nd day of spring here in Canada...and it's snowing! Again! lol :)
Hi karensgreatbody!! Your back!! Sparkle and I would love for you to join us again. Great job starting again!!
I have had a little set back, but am just starting to get back at it. I'm sure you read our last posts on here and have seen that Sparkle is seeing some fantastic results, isn't that right Sparkle? You are an inspiration to me!!
Sparkle, I am going to try those squats that you were telling me about. It sounds like a good workout for the legs.
And yes, I have heard about the Oxygen magazine. I used to subscribe to it, but now just buy them now and then. It's a great magazine. Actually, the book that I just bought is an Oxygen one, it's the 15 min workout. It's good, and the thing that I really like about it is that it has special workouts for specific muscle groups, like shoulders, biceps, back, lower body, and abs. So I feel that I am getting a really good workout when I do it. And it's only 15 min, which once I start, I almost always do more than the 15 min. But the 15 min mindset is what gets me motivated to do it.
Anyways, better get ready for work.
Karensgreatbody, I'm from Canada also, and the first day of spring felt like the middle of winter. It stormed here!! Are we ever going to have spring????
Happy workouts Sparkle and karensgreatbody!!
hey everybody......also i found this video on a BFL youtube info....it goes tlike this
for a 20 minute cardio workout
2 min warmup @ 50%
1 min @ 60%
1 min @70%
1 min @80%
1 min @90%
Repeat this whole pattern 4 times, with the last one instead of hitting for 90% you hit the 100%
Then I spend about 5 minutes cooling down
I have to say I'm loving this......hope it helps somebody else.
Have a great night
P.S Common' spring!!!
Glad you are back - Karensgreatbody! It would be great for us all to connect again! Thanks for the BFL YouTube workout! I will check it out!
How is it going JanZim? I went to cardio kick class tonight and it was a great workout! What I like about going to these different classes is the fact that we do something different every class. I forgot to tell you - after we did squats with our feet turned in and out we had to go through the entire circuit again with our feet turned in and out while on our toes. It was very hard. I need to take a day off from the weights and abs workouts. I am hoping to go outside tomorrow and take a power walk or run. I will be wearing a winter coat, but it will be nice to be outside.
I saw the advertisement for the 15 minute workouts in the Oxygen Magazine. They look like good, quick workouts.
Did you get a chance to organize your eating? Don't get overwhelmed! Start slow! Maybe just focus on breakfast and get that nailed down before you move on to lunch and dinner. I understand exactly what you are going through, because I went through the same thing with exercise. Take it slow and figure it out so it will become second nature. It took me a long time to find my exercise niche.
Have a great, successful day everyone!
Hi Sparkle and karensgreatbody,
Karensgreatbody, I will have to try that workout that you mentioned. I haven't been using my treadmill much lately, but this gives me incentive.
Sparkle, I have not had a chance to sit down yet to organize my food. I've just been trying to eat a protein and carb for meals as much as I can. I've been so busy with work that I haven't had much chance to eat properly. I'm away this weekend again. But hopefully there will be better food choices!!
You had asked me before how much weight I wanted to lose, and it's about 10 - 15 lbs. Too bad I have to re-lose(is that a word?) the first 5 lbs though. Sigh....
Anyhow, have a great day girls!
Good morning all,
Have just begun to thing about doing the 12 weeks again once this one has ended......thinking I may be off to a better start that way.
I'm just begining week #5.....wow, can hardly believe I've made it this far. I'm feeling so much stronger, still no change on my bathroom scale!
Have a wonderful week
Hi JanZim and Karen,
I just finished a cardio sculpt class at the club. The good news is I can hold a plank longer than ever before and I have increased the weight of my dumbbells. I can't believe how I look forward to exercise class when not too long ago I hated the thought of exercise! Today is my birthday and I went to work out! That never would have happened a year ago! My clothes are fitting so much better and the success I am experiencing keeps me going!
I love quotes and I found this one to share: "if your mind can conceive it, then your body can achieve it." Just keep picturing yourself in those jeans or swimsuit! It's amazing how much our positive and negative thoughts control us!
JanZim, are you still working out with your fitness group? Were you able to try the leg workout with your toes pointed various ways? Don't forget to do it on your tiptoes! Just wondered how you felt after that? I go to that leg class again tomorrow night with Mr. World Record. I will pass along any work out tidbits I learn!
I have been picking up a rotisserie chicken at the grocery store for an easy dinner. It is perfect because it is all cooked and ready to eat! It is also a perfect source of protein when the rest of the family is eating pasta or something that is not BFL approved.
Karen - so many people say they don't really see any significant changes in their bodies until around week 8. I find it helpful to read the success stories. I find someone my age who lost the amount of weight I want to lose. It is interesting to read their journey. Stick with it! You are getting close to week 8!
Good luck to both of you this week! I enjoy communicating with you both!

But first let me explain what it is. The Tumblr's creation was announced a few weeks ago, this way: "I am trying to collect a bunch of screenshots illustrating the feelings of desolation that can often accompany social networking and life online. SO FUN!"
The announcement was accompanied by a visual example: The words "Nothing is being shared," on a dark grey background. As a practical matter, this is something displayed by Adobe Connect in idle moments. But taken into this context — the context where you actually think for a second about what you're seeing — it is indeed an existentially crushing message.
So I like that sort of thing.
And while Screenshots of Despair has posted only a handful of images so far, you can already see the potential. One of the most cunning selections, I think, is the inclusion of a screenshot of the message Pandora displays when the service has been playing music for a set amount of time and the user has not been interacting by way of likes or dislikes and whatnot. "Are you still listening?" Pandora asks. Once again, it's a practical query in the interactive-design sense — and a terribly plaintive one in the human sense.
My strong suspicion is that if the Internet could get excited about this, Screenshots of Despair would be flooded with more examples. Because the project, even in the handful of images new collected, almost instantly changes the way the reader/viewer thinks about these default communiqués of the networked world, the little stand-in placeholders that prod us all to, you know, interact. Get some friends, , declare some favorites, do something to earn some "compliments," get some new friends.
These are stand-in messages, and they are designed very specifically to be done away with as soon as possible. Which is exactly why it's worth stopping and considering them instead.
So come on, Internet. Let's interact with this idea. Let's get the crowd involved in documenting these weird, almost accidental moments, when the default algorithms that undergird the realm of the connected remind us, quietly but somewhat naggingly, that we're all alone.
A closing note of disclosure: I might have had some extremely slight and indirect role in inspiring this — or at the least, the creator seemed to guess it was my kind of thing. I don't know the creator, but I follow his Tumblr, and have followed his blog for some years now. Both are called The Listenerd, and both are recommended.
