2013 and earlier BMW X5 Prices Paid and Buying Experience
You are so lucky. I ordered a 4.8 X5 with full option at Perillo BMW 11 weeks ago...I called my sales advisor several times. he said some supplier issue a month ago, and he was telling me the 20" wheels are short and wait for back order. my X5 is still not in production yet. I just moved to Chicago from Los Angeles, and i'm suprised of sales here. it took about 10 weeks to wait for M3 from European delivery in Los Angeles, how could a US produed X5 take 11 weeks but still not in production? I told him I will cancel my order if the car is still not in production by July 10th.
God, I wish my X5 coming as soon as possible because I dont have a car currently. I will go to Elmhurst BMW to ask the details about X5 this week. If I the X5 will not be here before Augest, I will never buy a BMW car again.
surfsup1 Posts: 2Hi Carhead2,
I'd be happy to pay $750 over invoice on a new X5 4.8 + DPI. (What is DPI? Thanks.)
What dealer/salesperson did you buy your 2007 X5 4.8i from in Southern California? I'm currently looking to order the X5 4.8 (because I can't find what I'm looking for in stock) and I don't like the MSRP deals with inflated Money Factors I'm getting quoted from the dealers I've talked to so far.
Anyone else been able to get a good deal on the new X5 4.8 in the Southern California Market? Let me know who to talk to.
Thanks for your help!
Thanks for the reply. I ordered the X5 with a lot of options that made the MSRP about 71,000. I got a $2420 discount over MSRP but the money factor quoted to me is .00285; I read elsewhere in this forum that the norm is .0023. I got a production number last Thursday and was promised 6 - 8 weeks for delivery. Thanks again. Hope to bump into you on your 7000 mile oil change at North Scottsdale BMW!
I ordered my wife's X5 June 20 with a lot of options, June 21 the salesman got me the production number. I checked it out yesterday on-line (June 24) and the status is "On Order". My salesman intercepted a regular inventory delivery (status 111) amd modified it the way I wanted it. I was promised 6 - 8 weeks delivery.
I wouldn't count on 6-8 weeks if you order included the technology package or sport package. I have been waiting 9 weeks already and now system shows (per salesman) that production is scheduled for the last week of July. They are blaming the issue on suppliers. I'm thinking of canceling and buying a Cayenne S as I don't believe I'll get the vehicle till September. Slightly annoyed as I could have ordered the Cayenne and had it sooner than the X5. Any idea when the 2008 X5's be available?
king_alii Posts: 1I ordered a fully loaded 2007 X5 3.0 through my broker and got a killer deal and money factor of .0233. I was told the rates have gone up recently but not sure how much. Thankfully, my broker was able to lock my rates. I'm in Socal, contact me on this thread if you want a great deal and I'll give you my broker's info.
Mine says in production and I did not order the 20 inch wheels. What is your dealer saying when your car is coming in? I was told 1st or 2nd week of July. I will keep you posted. I was also told that the website is not always updated. Yours could be in production and they just haven't put it on the web. Do you have a vin # yet? I do so if I find out anything I will let you know.
Im looking to Purchase an 2007X5 with the following..
Technology Package 2600
Premuim Package 700
Sports 3600
running Boards 300
Rear Climate Package 7000
Delivery chart 775
Base Price of 3.0si 45900
Total MSRP 57925
What is a good price for this car in NJ. So far the dealers i called only said they would nock of 2000-1500 of MSRP. Dealers said they only have a set number of X5 they can order, is this true? Inovice price is 53235, thats a 4690 between invoice and MSRP.
The question is how much you paid over invoice. Lets see.
2007 BMW x5 3.0 invoice is 42230 msrp 45900
Premium package invoice is 3685 msrp 4050
Technology package invoice is 2360 msrp 2600
Running boards invoice price 275 msrp 300
Heated front seats invoice 455 msrp 500
Confort access is invoice 910 msrp 1000
Premium sound package invoive1640 msrp 1800
Ivoice total is 51555
MSRP total is 56150
difference 4595
Your paying ONLY 650 off MSRP. That is a joke price. Minimum dealers are noking of 1000 of MSRP. I would say around 53,000 is a good price. Try harder....
My parents leased 2 cars from them in '04. My Dad has an '04 X5 3.0iA that he leased for 39 months in February '04 and my Mom leased an '05 530iA in Late December '04 ($642 per month for 36 months/15K miles per year, it pays to buy during the week between Xmas & New Year's).
I did all the research & negotiating for them. Unfortunately the salesman we worked with is no longer with the dealership. The salesman we are now working with seems to be OK. He agreed to a $1000 over invoice deal without a problem.
I'm going to email some other dealers tonight just to keep him honest.

The new X5 has only been out for about 8 months... Getting a true $1000 over invoice deal might be tough, as you are finding out...
Plus, $1000 isn't much profit on a $50K+ vehicle... For a 3-series, not so bad... I notice that dealers tend to want more of a spread on higher-priced models..
A .0002 bump isn't too bad, if you are getting $1000 over invoice.... though, I like to see all the profit in the price, and base rates on the financing.
Prices Paid, Lease Questions, SUVs
$1K over invoice with base .0023 money factor and $625 Acq Fee. MSRP on my Dad's new X5 3.0si with Premium Package, Sport Package, & Cold Weather Package is $55,225. We ended up paying $52,265 which is $1000 over invoice (Including destination, $180 Training & Service Fee, and $300 MACO.

My order was on April 8th, the first week I started my life in Chicago. Until now, I still dont get my X5 4.8 yet. this Monday, i talked to my sales, and he called BMW NA(seems like), he called me back and said the X5 should be in production next week(the first time seems he was pretty sure). last week, when i went to dealer, he checked online and told me the x5 is in the last status before production,and it should be produced at anytime.
My options are:
-Active ventelated seat
-sport package with 20" wheel
-technology package
-premium package
-cold weather package
-premium sound
-Ipod Adapter
-4zone climate ctrl
-heated rear seat
-heated front seat
-running board
-heads up display
-comfort access
almost all options except DVD entertainment, 3rd seat, HD Radio.
and right now, i've been waiting for 3 months. if the car is in production next week, and i should get the car in either mid or late August. then, it takes me 4 months to get my 2007 X5, and 2 months before 2008 production. my friends asked other sales person in the same dealer, the guy told them it will take more than 4 months for a 4.8 X5. if I knew all of this(if the sales told me it will take 4 months), I will definitely buy a Range Rover Sport supercharged instead of X5....damn it.
guys, just dont order a BMW in Chicago....it will take a super very long time.
Carman or kyfdx: Its my first time leasing a car. This forum has been extremely helpful. Please review the details below and please get back to me ASAP...I am looking to make the purchase today or t'row. I am located in Southern California.

An Indiana law that bans registered sex offenders from using Facebook and other social networking sites that can be accessed by children is unconstitutional, a federal appeals court ruled Wednesday.
The 7th U.S. Circuit of Appeals in Chicago overturned a federal judge's decision upholding the law, saying the state was justified in trying to protect children but that the "blanket ban" went too far by restricting free speech.
The 2008 law "broadly prohibits substantial protected speech rather than specifically targeting the evil of improper communications to minors," the judges wrote.
"The goal of deterrence does not license the state to restrict far more speech than necessary to target the prospective harm," they said in a 20-page decision.
The judges noted that the U.S. Supreme Court has also struck down laws that restricted the constitutional right to freedom of expression, such as one that sought to ban leafleting on the premise that it would prevent the dropping of litter.
U.S. District Judge Tanya Walton Pratt ruled in June that the state has a strong interest in protecting children and found that social networking had created a "virtual playground for sexual predators to lurk." She noted that everything else on the Internet remained open to those who have been convicted of sex offenses.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana filed the class-action suit on behalf of a man who served three years for child exploitation and other sex offenders who are restricted by the ban even though they are no longer on probation.
Courts have long allowed states to place restrictions on convicted sex offenders who have completed their sentences, controlling where many live and work and requiring them to register with police. But the ACLU contended that even though the Indiana law is only intended to protect children from online sexual predators, social media websites are virtually indispensable. The group said the ban prevents sex offenders from using the websites for legitimate political, business and religious purposes.
The ACLU applauded the decision.
"Indiana already has a law on the books that prohibits inappropriate sexual contacts with children," including penalties for online activities, ACLU legal director Ken Falk said. "This law sought to criminalize completely innocent conduct that has nothing to do with children."
Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller said his office would review the ruling before deciding on the next step.
Federal judges have barred similar laws in Nebraska and Louisiana. Louisiana legislators passed a new, narrower law last year that requires sex offenders to identify themselves on Facebook and similar sites. A federal judge struck down part of Nebraska's law last October.

Question: What do you think of the "Uprising" arc in the second half of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s first season? I think it is miles better than the first half of this season, which was pretty so-so at times. [Spoilers ahead] The tie-in with Captain America: The Winter Soldier, with Hydra infiltrating S.H.I.E.L.D. and Agent Garrett being revealed as the Clairvoyant working for Hydra, were very good plot twists, along with Agent Ward being a turncoat to work for Agent Garrett and Hydra — or could Ward be going undercover for Agent Coulson to help S.H.I.E.L.D. bring down Hydra? I really hope this show gets renewed for a second season by ABC, so that it will continue to improve and be a better show that everyone can enjoy to watch! - Chris
One of the fringe benefits of Jon Tenney being loyal to The Closer and its spin-off Major Crimes for so many years? The shows have helped launch the actor's career behind the camera. Tenney sat in the director's chair once more for Monday's episode (9/8c, TNT), which finds the squad investigating the murder of a baseball scout that turns into a complicated kidnapping case — and TVGuide.com has your exclusive first look at Tenney in action.

Rebecca Romijn and Jon Tenney
In the lobby of the Ritz-Carlton hotel in midtown Manhattan, Rebecca Romijn is waiting for her costar, Jon Tenney, to arrive. She places a playfully brusque reminder call to his cell, then declares with a good-natured sigh, "He's probably upstairs blowing out his hair." And there you have it: The secret sauce in King & Maxwell, this summer's new procedural about two Washington, D.C.-based former Secret Service agents-turned-private eyes. The case of the week is secondary only to the playful rapport between the two leads. We sat down with the pair to investigate their spark.
Sam, Daniel
For many a new show, airing on NBC is its own form of being stranded in Siberia. And so it is with Siberia, a clunky new thriller in the guise of a reality-adventure competition show — take all of the we're-not-here-to-make-friends clichés and add violent mysterious death, shot in a Blair Witch Project-meets-Survivor style. This weird drama/reality hybrid — not as silly as ABC's Whodunnit?, but just as unconvincing — has the terrible luck to arrive on the scene going head to head (Monday, 10/9c) with CBS's Under the Dome, a week after the Stephen King project opened to blockbuster ratings.

November 25, 2014
VENICE, Italy (AP) - Nicolas Cage says after more than three decades acting in films he has no intention of retiring anytime soon, despite "fantasies of a life of contemplation."
Cage, who is premiering David Gordon Green's "Joe" at the Venice Film Festival, said Friday that he may take off more time between films, "but film performance is a part of me." He called "Joe" ''one of the most memorable" films he has worked on in his career.
The 49-year-old Cage plays the title role, a hard-drinking ex-con whose struggle to maintain control of his life is undermined by his instincts to help a boy, portrayed by Tye Sheridan, living under the crux of an alcoholic father. The film is among 20 vying for the coveted Golden Lion, awarded Sept. 7

CLAIREFONTAINE, France (AFP) - France captain Patrick Vieira was ruled out on Monday from Wednesday's friendly with England at the Stade de France.
The Inter Milan midfielder is suffering from a left leg injury which has plagued him for the past week.
"I am frustrated," admitted Vieira.
"I hope to be able to play next weekend for Inter, as it (the injury) is getting much better, but not to be playing on Wednesday is extremely disappointing."
Raymond Domenech's squad has been hit by a plethora of injuries. Earlier on Monday Barcelona star Thierry Henry was also ruled out with what was later revealed to be a lower back injury and last night rising Lyon star Karim Benzema pulled out after twisting his left knee in a league game.

Warsaw, Poland
This was a dress.
For, like, 2 hours.
I've had tons of this crazy synthetic-leather-imitating fabric, which, as you may remember, I used for my slouchy clutch as well. Inspired by the photoshoot, I decided to make a beautiful faux leather dress; "it would be so me" – I thought.
And so I did.
And so I tried it on. It fitted very well, so I went out for the party.
And so I sweated. And sweated. AND SWEATED.
I really wanted to kill myself, but, most importantly, cut damn dress into pieces.
And so I did.
Well, maybe not to pieces, but… really. I even accept it now. And I can actually WEAR it.
(it's based on 02/2011 Leather dress #117, but I cannot add "based on" for some reason)

 bio_text= Years ago, Silver Sable's father, working in conjunction with the government of Symkaria, created the [[Wild Pack]], a group of professional soldiers whose job it was to hunt down Nazi war criminals. At about the same time his wife was giving birth to their daughter Silver. Years later, the girl watched her mother die in her arms, the victim of a terrorist attack. Sable trained her entire life, becoming a master of a wide variety of weapons. She trained in all forms of hand-to-hand combat in preparation for the day she would inherit leadership of the Wild Pack. Over the years, as the number of former Nazis dwindled. Sable turned the focus of the Wild Pack more and more toward mercenary endeavors, until the group became the major source of outside income for Symkaria. Under the auspices of Silver Sable International, the organization apprehends wanted criminals and recovers stolen property for a wide spectrum of clients from major insurance companies to small nations.

 One such contract was the apprehension of the international jewel thief the [[Black Fox (Raul Chalmers)|Black Fox]] and the return of valuable gems in his possession. Working with the New York City police, the Wild Pack nearly apprehended him, only to be thwarted by the inadvertent actions of [[Spider-Man (Peter Parker)|Spider-Man]]. Eventually Spider-Man recovered the jewels but allowed the thief to escape.

 Silver Sable International was later hired by a small South African country to neutralize the international terrorist [[Hobgoblin (Jason Macendale)|Jason Macendale]] (Jack O'Lantern), suspected of training rebel forces within the client's borders. An initial team of Wild Pack members was ambushed by Macendale's men and nearly killed, leading Silver Sable to enlist aid from Spider-Man.

 During the course of these events, Sable became involved in a daylight robbery that resulted in the death of a young woman, an innocent bystander accompanied by her young son. The woman's death struck a responsive chord in Sable, and she dropped her other activities to hunt down the killer. His trail led to an abandoned building, where Jack O'Lantern chose to attack Silver and her men. During the final confrontation, her choice to capture the killer enabled Jack O'Lantern to escape.

 Spider-Man then agreed to help Silver capture Jack O'Lantern. They tracked him to [[Coney Island Amusement Park]], only to be ambushed by the group of costumed criminals called the [[Sinister Syndicate]], the [[MACH-IV|Beetle]], the [[Rhino (Aleksei Sytsevich)|Rhino]], [[Hydro-Man]], [[Boomerang]] and the [[Speed Demon]], who were hired to kill Macendale's pursuers. They nearly succeeded, but were stopped at the last minute by the [[Sandman (William Baker)|Sandman]], who allowed Sable and Spider-Man to escape. After a long battle, the three managed to defeat the criminals, but nothing was found to help them locate Jack O'Lantern.

everyone's got them
They tend to come about during the most inopportune times too: when you are overtired, overstressed, overworked.......just done over like a big hot mess!
I'm not just talking about me in particular this time around....I've noticed hubby working like a dog and his old habit of snacking late at night while working come back a few times, here and there, on occassion. First, I noticed the cake box gone from the top of the fridge....he "confessed" that he had a bad night, and I just told him I noticed...and he immediately knew that he had to reign in the demon before it got out of control. Now add last night's Monday Night Football guys gathering with the cheese dip, wings and donuts....and the poor guy never stood a chance to get back in the saddle like he wanted to! He will though....all it takes is a few days of calm and he is right back into the swingof things - - well, that is what MY plan for him is....and because we share a brain, I know that it is his plan too.
My personal demons have reared their ugly head as well...except instead of eating - I am yelling and just a big ol' beeeotch to everyone I love (I don't think PMS helped the situation either - this month was a bad month in that respect). Me & hubby, who rarely argue or fight, had a great yell-fest that wound up being a good stress reliever for both of us....funny how that happened. But still....who likes yelling???? I sure as heck don't want to be like this all the time, so a conscious effort is being put forth on my part to make a decision and live by those decisions - whether or not people like them or not.....if they do not like them, well, then they can step up to the plate themselves and take on the role that I had chosen to take on. Note the word "chosen".....I did not say "thrust upon" even though it really is the way it is...when noone steps up, I fill in like a good little girl so that everyone is happy. Ha - you might be wondering what it is I am venting about.....what do you think? my one volunteer organization: Cub Scouts, of course! Making a conscious effort to just make a decision and live with any 'haters' that come with it is somewhat liberating. If they don't like it - then they can take over the next campout.
Anyway....those are the gremlins that are bouncing around our house lately.....I wish they would just leave. The good news is that I can see a light at the end of the tunnel - either Thursday...or Sunday morning....one is the rain-decision to go camping on Thurs...the other is the day we come home on Sun if we DO go camping in a slight drizzle.
This too shall pass.....in the meantime, I am going to do my best to make the best of an annoying situation.
Now - onward and upward....going to get my walk in and then tackle the next thing on my list: to make a list of camping stuff!! What's the saying? "A boy scout is always prepared!"
Yeah, it's a day early, but meh, does it matter?
Ooopsie, I didn't weigh myself today...I think it is 132 - got the TOM...is that TMI? lol
But I DID try on the dress again...looser around the hips and after contorting like a contortionist in a side-show...I got the zipper zipped up again. That zipper really is a pain!
It's fun playing dressup like this every week! So much so that I tried on some dresses that I have in contention for my 20th reunion after Thanksgiving. A few I have worn before, so I already know what to look for in fitting better....and thank heavens they all fit -- and they fit better too!!! I don't know why I have this fear of things not fitting....must be the inner-fat-chick rearing her ugly head again....but she shut up pretty darned fast today! Let me tell you that!
I really don't know which dress I am going to use....or maybe I'll just go out and get a new one! All are very nice....a basic black sheath dress, an off the shoulder kimono-inspired sheath-type dress (that one needs a hem and this one I am not very confident in...yet), and a snug pencil skirt dress with a blousy A-symmetrical satin houndstooth top attached (that one needs a new belt).....decisions, decisions, decisions! So far, the simple black sheath is #1 on the list....my legs are smokin' and it is just classy looking.
Anyway, back to the walking update!
I really have been stressed lately - and under the weather as well. I did NOT get all of the days of walking in like I wanted for a few reasons (here you go - confession time): I had to work and then go to various scout recruiting functions at the elementary schools...then there was work and a Knights of Columbus doowop dinner dance (I danced, so there was some cardio) and then there was the scout car wash on Sunday where, you guessed it - I washed cars for 2 hours! So it's not like I didn't get exercise in! LoL Just not what I planned to do!
Anyway - I felt pretty good today after finally getting a really good night's sleep - I didn't feel good enough to go walking outside any great distance, but rather I did a LS video and it felt really good to get back to it!! After doing a large variety of exercised the last few days, I could totally feel which muscles needed some attention, and which ones could have used more rest!
On a non-scale sort-of victory...I had a few people at work ask me if I was doing something different....so I answered honestly and said I was doing Leslie Sansone and trying to walk outside more...yadda yadda yadda. So in turn, I asked them what they thought changed? Well, one sticks out in my head - she said I looked really toned! Ha! Imagine that! So I asked where did she see that? (Location on the planet, not my body) She said she saw me walking the other day and she noticed how toned I was....(flashback in my head going on: when and what was I wearing?? only 2 times walking and one was without sleeves - so there ya go!) Giving credit to LS on this one!!! I really haven't done any serious armwork until now with these videos! Too funny!!!! So see....they do work arms as well as the heart and legs!
Doing the arms with the video today was different as well....Felt more powerful in general, more in control of my whole body movements. Hmmm....empowered?? Yup, a little bit.
Now off I go to the rest of the day..."Supermom" is my hat today, lots to do to get things righted after a cookoo weekend.....later I get to put on "Scout leader" hat and do another school visit & then tomorrow I have to get ready for a Friday cub-scout family camping trip....praying for no rain!!!
So Leslie and I have been meeting pretty consistently for the last week! 5 out of 7 days is a record for me! LoL and today I will be getting my workout in too...my sneakers are ON baby!
The majority of the workouts have been a brisk intermediate 2 mile workout that lasts 30 minutes....on one ambitious day, I did another 1 mile in 20 minutes video...and I was wiped!
Last week I was 135.3 and that bridesmaid dress was barely getting zipped up by myself...let's face it, it was not going up the last 2 inches and was a bit tight when and if I got it...not to mention the back spillage....thus the experiment was born!
This week...after watching my nutrition and faithfully tracking and doing Leslie's walking workout, I weighed in at 132.1. Yesterday the dress zipped up all the way without any help at all....in fact it fit pretty much the way it did when I was 130. I know, I know...oooooo 2 pounds. I get it, but as this experiment goes, that is pretty neat because I was NOT working out at the time of the wedding and I was definitely stress eating and bloated when I was 130. Just sayin'.
Now...on to week 2!
What I hope for:
- to be consistent for another week....the videos are comforting to do at this point - I know what to expect on 2 of them...and I know I sweat like the bajeezuz (more than the treadmill) so I know I am burning calories.
- to maybe see some more tone in my arms/chest/back area...if not tighten the under arm back area....the videos really do work the arms - it's what you put into it and I am giving it 100% to see a change happen...we shall see.
- to make the back of the dress fit even better. I'm not going for this dress to fall off either - just to fit bettter on a more fit body.
As a side note: It is official.....my 20th high school reunion is set for the day after Thanksgiving! I am totally going. So far 3 out of the 4 hs besties are going (fingers crossed) and I have to say, my bff Steph looks fantastic! and she is doing triathalons now! and kicking butt and taking names too!!! So proud of her!
I have a few dresses to pick from in my closet - all were like the bridesmaid dress size though...and now that I am doing this, it is just an added bonus and goal to strive for..to feel good in the dress - whichever one I wear!
Ok all!! Back to work!
We are having fish for dinner tonight...the frozen fillet kind that my hubby only cooks 2 ways since he discovered this fish a year ago....honestly - I absolutely HATE the frozen fish, but it is cheaper and more ready to use if we keep it frozen than if we did not...another good protein for us to eat....yay.
I feel like my kids right now. You know kids - some will turn their nose up at the most delectible of foods (according to an adult's palate) and would rather starve than eat what you lovingly cooked for an hour just for their growing bodies.
But still....this fish....ick.
Do I HAVE to eat it?
I really don't want to.
The thought of it is making me sick...just the texture of it is unappealing...and no, it is not bad fish at all....it's just frozen...and then thawed...and then tough.
Maybe I will pull one of these moves like the kids do!
Nah...that will just irritate him.
Maybe I will suggest something else...another cooking method maybe!
Hmm...tough thing, because the only other option I can think of is frying the sucker.
Now...if it were shrimp...or scallops.....oh Mmmmm let me at 'em!! That is what I'm talkin' about!!! These sea creature are such a rare occurance in my life that every time I see them on TV's food network....I drool!!!!
Seared scallops over angelhair pasta in a light wine-lemon-butter sauce garnished with parsley...there really should be a drool emoticon, but this will have to do.
Why not this drool-inducing dish? A clash of tastes is why. We don't buy stuff unless we both eat it. Yes, very economilcal. Notice I did not include the children - heaven forbid! they try anything new!!! I know...I know....exposure is important and key...but spending money on expensive seafood is not an option if it wil inevitably be thrown away because of picky eaters.
More on the list of unpalatable husband foods is pesto....and raw tomatoes...and sundried tomatoes.....some of my most loved things that I forego.
But I do have some solutions - when we eat out at a nice place - I order from my "solo food love" menu....for example.....I had pesto with angel hair twice in a month!!! On vacation I had a citrus mahi-mahi sandwich that was killer! the cheescake factory has this shrimp & angel hair that used to be good....not so great the last time I had it though....hey, you can't win them all!
So now...I guess I am on the restaurant hunt for seared scallops!!
As for the fish....I guess I will just have to eat it tonight since it is defrosted....but I think I will be making a new side dish of curried lentils to go with it....I think it's time to spice things up a bit in the food department!
So I have decided to come up with my own experiment for the month of Sept. I use the term "experiment" because this will entail a bit of logging that I usually do not do on a daily basis.
My last blog was about a Leslie Sansone video that I tried out on the free fitness on-demand section from my tv provider. Free is good & the video worked me harder than I have been, so I have decided to make this experiment happen.
Spark will call this a challenge...I like experiment better...because with an experiment, there are serious trials and errors...and since I am more of the scientific brain-type....so experiment it is!
Ok - on to the details! If I get too bogged down in the specifics, I think I will go nuts, so here is just what I am planning off the top of my head.
- on my exercise days I will do her videos...changing things up here and there since there are a few different ones to choose from I won't get bored (I increased my days as well...should be interesting)
-push myself to the max when doing them...to get max benefits....I mean, she is doing this a lot and looks great, so I WILL be channeling the woman as much as possible.
-in the back of my head, I can totally see being able to do this when I am 60 - so this is right up my alley in terms of long-term health and weight-loss/maintenance....which is what I am really going for....running is great, but I'm very practical about long-term exercise sustainablility
- try on one piece of clothing (that recent bridesmaid dress) and see how my body changes while wearing it - week to week. I have to go put it on now...hoping it fits since I gained a few pounds since the wedding. It's a good starting point nonetheless.
- try to get the kids doing this with me...ambitious...very very ambitious, but really, I am thinking about the winter months and we need to be more active as a whole...hoping they can do this simple video and have fun with me at the same time :)
- prove that a simple in-home video is the way to go, especially if one is terrified of the gym or cannot afford it (both for me), is terrified of video's (like I am/was), is feeling like there is nothing out there for them that they can do, is feeling like they have to pay for videos (which 9 times out of 10 never get used and collect dust - totally guilty on this one)
-things I would like to see tone up: arms, back shoulders (yes, from a walking video! LoL) and I would also like to see how my core reacts too - will the waistline shrink? toneup more?? Hmmmm......
So far, in comparison with my usual treadmill workout that I have done forever, I can tell you this:
- I sweat more
- I definitely use more muscle groups that ever before
- my heart rate is definitely higher and sustained longer than when I do some of my treadmill workouts - which I thought were AOK, until I did this video.
- I don't have to think anymore...maybe that is a good thing for an overactive brain :)
I know this is not knew, but since I have this little thing in my head, I figured I'd make it official. There are a lot of people who are also shy about joining Sparkgroups or just starting out, so maybe if someone like that sees this, it will give them a different perspective on the whole working out thing. As many of you know, I'm in this for the looooooong haul and I want to teach people to be moderate and purposeful for their lifetime, and in the end, see results they might not have thought could happen with just a simple video.....whether you are 334 pounds or if you are 134 pounds...change can happen in a month with a simple walking video.
Am I being to ambitious to think that I will be very surprised in how I look by the end of the month? I mean, c'mon, it's not like I am tackling P90X here (props going out to all who do though! Goodness gracious! Mad credit to you guys! but again...it's a video...I am a self proclaimed video-phobe...maybe I will work up to that level! LoL) But am I being too ambitious to expect major changes? I don't know, but really, this is worth a shot to keep me more consistent, especially during this crazy time of year. Speaking of which, why am I doing this now? It IS the crazy time of the year! LOL Maybe - just maybe - I will also be less stressed.
If you want...feel free to join me, especially if you happen to find the free on-demand walking stuff....and let me know how you are doing!
Happy walking!
OK - Here is a P.S./edit - that bridesmaid dress in the pic on my page....OK I tried it on. Originally back in May, it fit like a glove - literally! Let's just say it had no room to spare. I got it zipped up back then, but it was when my exercise was waning off & not perked up a bit - and I weighed 130 or so. A mushy 130. Today, the fit of the dress IS tighter, and I can get it zipped up mostly & with some dificulty by myself, but realy if I had to wear it for a night, well I would be uncomfortable. Ick.
So I am starting this more around 134-135 - my upper maintenance range, and I would LIKE to get back down to the 130 mark...just because this is what maintenance is about....when you creep up into that upper range, you have to reassess and get back on the band wagon to cease the bad habits from creeping back in (why oh why do they always have to peek in and ruin a good thing?!?!) Anywhoooo - this is where we are starting.

Reducing sugar in sweet and sour cabbage
- m
- MrsBridges May 18, 2012 09:40 AM
I've been working at reducing my intake of refined sugars and carbs, and so far I've had really good results. I'm planning to make my favorite sweet and sour cabbage recipe, which calls for a half cup of sugar for a four-serving recipe. That comes to 2 Tbsp of sugar in each serving, which seems too much. Should I: (1) reduce the amount of sugar to maybe 1/4 cup? or (2) substitute Splenda for all or part of the sugar? or (3) prepare as directed and cut down somewhere else. I thank you in advance for your suggestions.
Well, you can start by reducing the amount of sugar per your own suggestion. Then, you'll need to go by taste, adding Splenda back in very small increments, until the cabbage is to your taste. I wouldn't eliminate the sugar entirely, though. You'll need to adjust the vinegar accordingly, as Splenda definitely has a sweeter taste.
First of all, rather than splenda, I would try coco palm sugar ( google to read about it)., which actually adds flavor rather than just sweetness and is less refined and low glycemic.
I use very little sugar in cabbage, maybe 2-3 T for the whole thing .
re: ellabee
Nom NOM NOM. I've used sherry vinegar and red wine vinegar and cider vinegar and Champagne vingegar (which was too light and did not work at ALL! Warning!!) but for some reason I never ever ever thought to use the Balsamic, and I have no idea why not. I sure am going to now, though.
re: mamachef
That makes sense!
I use your #2 option in all my cooking. It only takes a small proportion of sugar to mask the Splenda aftertaste. (In my large mug of coffee it's 1/8 tsp sugar and a packet of Splenda). Don't
do it with baked goods, though, and expect the same texture you'd get from baking with sugar.
You can often sub Splenda for half the sugar in something like oatmeal or choc chip cookies but this does not work for cookies across the board.
re: KailuaGirl
I'd caution the OP to try Stevia or Truvia in a beverage before considering using it in cooking. To me, they have a horrendous licorice/mint/alcohol taste without being truly sweet. Had my first use of it been in cooking or baking, I'd have had to throw out the food.
I hardly use sugar, but there are times when a recipe just isn't sweet enough. I tried the stevia granules and didn't like the taste. There is also stevia in bottles similar to other extracts, a very small bottle, and one can put a drop at a time to add to such non-baking dishes.
I buy the non-alcoholic extract stevia. And for instance if my yogurt and berries need just a touch of sugar, I will add 2 drops of the stevia extract.
It seems that stevia extract might work out well for your cabbage as a substitute for part of your sugar. I only use organic sugar - not expensive as I believe I've had 3# in my cupboard for maybe three years.
I also use a substitute of part of the sugar called for - a coconut sugar. But it will, in this case, probably turn your mayo or oil, or whatever, a ugly brown :-))

NFL Owners Approve Salary Cap Sanctions Against Cowboys, Redskins At Meetings
Published March 27, 2012
WAS THIS COLLUSION? In Boston, Ron Borges notes although Goodell has been "widely lauded as an iron-fisted leader, he is now at odds with several of his 32 bosses." The NFL has its own "collectively bargained rules regarding collusion, but under most definitions what the league did in 2010 would be collusive: all the business owners in their industry conspiring and agreeing to limit the earnings of the workers in that industry." One NFLPA exec "raised the specter of a collusion lawsuit if information of 'a gentleman's agreement' that suppressed salaries during the uncapped year comes to light during the arbitration challenge." The exec said, "The league's defense has to be that they colluded. What other defense is there? Since we're a defendant we're privy to discovery. If in fact they had unwritten rules when there were no rules we could potentially file a lawsuit." Borges notes if the owners "were found to have colluded during the uncapped year the penalty could be the most feared one in jurisprudence: treble damages" (BOSTON HERALD, 3/27). Bears Chair George McCaskey said, "It's very important that everybody plays by the same set of rules. If they tell people what the rules are, they all have to play by them" (CHICAGOTRIBUNE.com, 3/26).
DIVISION IN THE RANKS: In DC, LaVar Arrington wrote the move "almost comes across as a power struggle among owners: The old school owners who did things with a handshake and a cigar versus the new school guys who are branding machines and seem to find their way under the other owners' skin." Arrington: "I'd like to know the grounds for the penalties and whether they were legit. If it turns out they weren't justified, this could open Pandora's box" (WASHINGTONPOST.com, 3/26). In Boston, Greg Bedard writes business "might be booming for the NFL since the lockout," but there is "an undercurrent of angst in the ranks" (BOSTON GLOBE, 3/27).
