You forgot to mention the lovely deerflies and horseflies LOL. Yes, your 80 proof is just fine for what you want to use. Your spray bottles should be okay as well. Not ideal, but they will do fine.

Now I'm trying to be conscientious about getting enough sleep. I've noticed that I'm tired earlier at night, so I just go to bed - sometimes a couple of hours earlier. However, other than the physical exhaustion right afterwards, I'm generally more awake during the day and sleep better overall. For most people even BFL is quite a carb reduction from their regular/previous diet. It will take you a couple of weeks to adjust and then you should recover a little easier.

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 hi, here are a couple of links to sites... http://www.stumptuous.com/cms/displayarticle.php?aid=63 http://www.weighttrainersunited.com/getinshape.html this has workout equipment, in a limited space (even has it's own box): http://www.stumptuous.com/cms/displayarticle.php?aid=47 And... beware the " crap lists " http://www.stumptuous.com/cms/displayarticle.php?aid=24 http://www.stumptuous.com/cms/displayarticle.php?aid=24 You could also use those workout bands/exercise ball... lots of possibilities... but you probably wouldn't need much space with a mat and dumbbells. Sprints outside (walking, then running hard, then walking) would work well for your cardio. If it's crappy out, do you have a large local mall nearby which has stairs to climb and length to walk briskly? In my old neighborhood, in the local park & rec flyer, they had a local (like a block away!) gradeschool where you could pay to walk after school hours (it was like $5 a month or something cheap). Good luck, and hope you do well! -- --- " Cherita L.

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 Hi Everyone, I want to thank you all for the advice you've given so far. and , thank you each for taking the time out to offer such helpful advice. The links supplied by both of you were awesome. , thank you too for additional cardio options. , you also offered some pretty good advice. My husband is a huge fan of ' HIIT, as well as Bill ' BFL and Tom Venuto's Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle (BFFM) and a slew of other very good fitness avenues. I may consider switching between 's HIIT and Bill's 20 Min. Aerobic Solution. I am planning to follow BFL as close to book as possible, at least for my first 12-weeks. It's not easy, but it's simple and I know it works. I find this whole endeavor very exciting. Cherita -- " You must be the change you wish to see in the world.

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 Hi Cherita, I'm new to BFL, too! (Though not new to working out.) This morning for cardio I jumped on a small indoor trampoline. Bought it from Walmart for about $25. I set it up in the family room right in front of a mirror and clock. I originally bought it for my kids but I am getting as much use out of it as they are. :-) I started off with a slow jog, increased to a fast jog, did twists (mimicking downhill skiing), then topped it off with insane jumping as high as I could while pumping arms up and down. Whew, I'm getting tired just thinking about it, LOL! I miss running and hope to get back on the road soon. But with the trampoline I got a good workout and it was easy on the joints. Just an idea to throw out! :-) God bless, > > Also, cardio - besides the stationary bike, any suggestions on winter workouts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Sounds like you are doing great. Are you watching portions, and water? Another thing you could try is pick an specific area you would like to run. Do a trial run. Then when you do another one you can see how much easier it is. Helps you with your goal... NH...

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Hi there, my name is . I just wanted to say hello and that I would love to be able to run too. I can barely walk for long, but to run now that seems like fun. I would love to do that again. I don't know what to tell you about the gem, because I don't go to one. Sorry, hopefully someone else can help you out there. Welcome to the group. I'm pretty new to the group too. Newbie with questions Hey Y'all! I am really ready to lose the weight this time! My hubby and I go to the gym together at least three times a week and I have been doing very well on the eating so far. I am 5"8' and currently weigh 245. I would like to be a size 8 but my truest deepest wish is to be able to run! I want to be able to run at least 2 blocks without feeling like I am going to die.I am curious though as to what I should be doing while I am at the gym. I have been doing a 24 minute circuit of machines that 24 hour fitness already has set up. After that I can do 10 minutes on the elliptical machine before I am completely DONE.I am also taking supplements like CLA, flaxseed oil, and the like.So any and all advice is welcome.

That sounds fine. Your brew is ready when it has a pleasant acidity and tastes nice to you.

Very often the brew will not be fizzy at bottling time, but will acquire the fizz during the 2nd stage of fermentation in the bottle, when the still present yeasts will consume more of the still present fructose and in the process form CO2 gas, which gives you the fizzzz. > > It's a very vigorous scoby and has gotten very wide and thick in the twenty > days I've been working with it.

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Amy, your concerns are definately well founded. At least you have until April to convince your husband the same. I personally do not know much about celiac disease. But know that vaccines can activate auto-immune diseases in the body. Once you have been here a little while, you will be shocked at how many serious illnesses can be contributed to vaccination. There are lots of great articles on this list, so I suggest going to the webpage and doing a search. If you put in celiac disease, I am sure plenty of stuff will come up. I expect that there will be plenty of info from others here who have way more knowledge than me. Congratulations on the pregnancy. Your son is lucky that you are researching this before he is even born. I wasnt aware of vaccine dangers until my first was two. She is healthy, and only vaxed for the first 2 years. But she is such a scatterbrain, and has really low concentration levels. I sometimes wonder if vaccination could have caused that. Although, I have similar traits. Trouble with concentration, and I get easily distracted. So she could just be taking after me. But I was vaxed too. Thankfully the schedule was only about a dozen vaccines thru childhood, back then. And I don't think I even had them all. Remember the smallpox one though. It is coming up to the weekend now, and the list will quieten down a bit. The most knowledgeable ones may not be here. So, just keep asking questions as they come to you, and I am sure you will get the info you need. If you can get your husband to read what is posted, then that is good. My partner has been totally converted. And it didn't take long. He has a significant history of medicating, because of a back injury. These days he pretty much goes drug free. Except for one that he occasionally takes when the lack of sleep is getting him down. And even then it is only about once or twice a year he gets a script. Welcome to the group. Fieldman www.mycmsite.com.au/lisafieldman Newbie with Questions Hello - my name is Amy. I'm currently expecting my first child at the end of April. I live in Illinois where there is only a religious exemption allowed. I was diagnosed with celiac disease which is an inherited autoimmune disease. After my dianosis, my husband was diagnosed. This disease is only controlled though a strict diet of avoiding gluten (wheat, rye, barley). We did genetic testing and between the two of us have four genetic markers for the disease SO our son will have atleast two genetic markers for the diease. Those genetic markers have to be " activated " so to speak for celiac disease to start. So, one could live with the genes their whole life and never develop symptoms, or they could develop celiac disease at any age. My concern with vaccinating my child is that the vaccines will activate his celiac genes. My questions are: is there edvidence or study done on vaccines causing or triggering autoimmune diseases? Is it considered safe for people with autoimmune diseases to get vaccinations? My second question is: my gut tells me not to vacciante. My husband is leaning more towards selective vaccination and delayed vaccination. I know if he reads the Dr. Sears book he will be more adamant about vaccnating. What other resources are out there that I can give him that will allow him to understand my concerns? Just as an aside, my intention is to breast feed for at least one year. Thank you!

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Hey, My son would be that child that got one vaccine and was injured by it. He has a gluten allergy and what we suspect is possibly celiac. My DH and FIL both have wheat issues, although my DH was just treated for ADD, no diet changes. My FIL found out he is diabetic two years ago, and after eliminating all carbs from his diet, he is now healthier than he has been in years. So please, don't do it. Take it from me, even one was a mistake. Raising a Vaccine Free Child was very eye opening, as was any book by Neil Z. , the book by Aviva Jill Romm about Vaccinations, and Cave's Book, What Your Doctor May NOT Tell You About Childhood Vaccinations.

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 I have a history of autoimmune conditions and my son also cannot have gluten. I totally vaccinated my older son as a baby and he ended up autistic. Thankfully the damage was undone and he's no longer autistic, but it was several years of hard work, lots of worrying and a fair amount of cash to get him back. My second child also cannot have gluten, but he was not vaccinated at all and is not, and never was, autistic or even close to it. Under no circumstances would I vaccinate a child, especially with a family history of autoimmune conditions. -- Roni Bergerson Independent Monavie Distributor Celebrate Good Health with Monavie! http://www.mymonavie.com/jandrbergerson/ -------------- Original message -------------- From: " heatherina_welsh " <heather@...> Check out this site. http://healthyhighway.org/index.html Great info on celiacs, I wouldn't vaccinate esp if you are prone to Celiacs and I would avoid all GMO food, if you are in GA let me know and all get you in touch with some great practitioners here and a food company that specializes in truly healthy food most of the items are gluten free.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Amy i used religious exemption in Illinois for dift schools...one militart based and one public. Chances are they won't even know what they are required to have!!! LOL Basically stated that as parents, based on religious beliefs, objest to ALL vaccinations including but not limited to ... and then i listes them, listed child's name. Stated beliefs prohibited injections or absorption of foreign substance which will alter the natural state our child was bborn in which would criticize our Creator and question His divine omnipotence and wisdon as Higher Power...beliefs will not allow us to challenge His creation as we believe we were created in His image and that begins at conception ccording to the Bible. We take responsibility for child's heakth and safety befor God. as memebers of society acknowledge also responsible to community so in event of cantagion will remove shild from school when requested and keep said child quaranined and inform school if such an incidence arieses. Signed and dated it .. Of corse, it was properly paragraphed and everything was spelled right LOL Probably didn't need that much detail but iw was on a roll and believe all that so it was fun.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Our family is riddled with autoimmune conditions & my son developed coeliac disease after being vaccinated, & unfortunately developed a mutation for a fatal neuro-degenerative condition, they are now saying that people with certain food allergies can have allergic reactions to vaccines with food proteins eg. eggs,gelatin, yeast but they never mention wheat -yet every second person you talk to seems to be coeliac.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Rosemary - I'm sorry to hear about your son. Thank you for the link on food allergies and vaccines. I have an egg allergy - who knows what my little boy is going to end up with!! I'm also very concerned with autism. My plan is to keep him on a gluten free/casein free diet until age 3 and possibly challange him then with a diet. There are so many decisions to be made it can be very overwhelming at times. I'm glad I found this group though. You are all very helpful in reassuring me that I'm making the right choice. Now I get to find a pediatrician...... ugh!

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Hello, Margie-welcome to the group! I use tapioca gel (make your own by cooking a little tapioca pearl just covered with water until translucent, then buzz up in Vitamix) flax seed, or chia seeds (soak first) as thickeners. You can also use tapioca or corn starch for soups, but I find the gels easier to manage, since they need no further cooking. Many juices and smoothies will not keep well-once the cell wall of the fruits and veggies is broken down, they start to deteriorate quickly, so making ahead of time is not always so good, depending on what you are making. Best bet would be to put the ingredients in a mason jar and keep in the fridge, teach hubby how to buzz them up in the morning. I know some one here ( I am sure our will jump in, I am sure) DO make some juices that will keep. I often keep jars of stuff at the ready for my daughter to buzz up when she is ready for them. The enzyme activity of some fruits and veggies makes them break down very quickly once juiced or pureed.From: Margaret <fenneyml@...>Subject: Newbie with questions Date: Sunday, January 30, 2011, 8:24 PM Hello all, I've been getting acquainted with my Vitamix this weekend and even my dh is impressed! I do have a couple of questions, though. 1. What do you recommend as thickeners for soups and smoothies and under what conditions would you prefer one over another? 2. I want to make juices and smoothies for my dh to take to work with him for lunch and/or snacks but I need to make them the night before because he gets up earlier than I do. Will that be ok with most juices and smoothies? Are there particular ones that I should avoid using for this purpose? Thanks! I'm glad to be here.

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 , Thanks for the advice! I like the mason jar idea and you're also teaching me the slang. Guess I'll be telling dh that " I'll be " buzzing up " some soup in a few minutes " .

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 2. I want to make juices and smoothies for my dh to take to work with him for lunch and/or snacks but I need to make them the night before because he gets up earlier than I do. Will that be ok with most juices and smoothies? Are there particular ones that I should avoid using for this purpose? I do a juice/smoothie before I go to bed each night so I can drink them during the next day. I load my VM up with 13 or so fruits and veg with some flax seed and a little water blend then pour into bottles I got from GNC with the metal ball for mixing things like protein powder. Put them in the fridge overnight then take them to work in the morning and put them in the fridge and drink thought the day. I have notice they will change color the next day if I do not finish them in about 24 hours. It does not seem to change the taste. So I would recommend not making more than you can consume quickly.
