Tried it. Not my thing, but most people love it. I'm into Yoga right now...and, of course...Sex is always a great stress reliever!

Tweety - Are you trapped inside with the "babies" for 9 days? Is there a dog park around? Maybe they can go romp & play? Are they loud? If so...mp3 player & headphones! Of course, it's not very healthy...but chocolate & wine alwa...

cheat days....ohh, i used to have those. i would deprive myself all week & then become pig girl for a day... kind of felt a bit bipolar. now i have "reward evening" every week i have this time when we go out & i chill. it's dinner out (no...

Of course this was the winning article a touching story, eloquently written! Fabulous! A true representation of the humanity & inhumanity in healthcare today. Thank you & Congratulations!

Mercy - How often do you eat? I ask because there's a ton of research on eating as fuel - keeping the metabolic furnace fueled. Most nutritionists are now recommending 5-6 small meals spread no further than 3-4 hours apart. (of course, still wit...

Beautiful set up! Some day...

Ahhh! A fellow tri! Cool! I'm doing my very 1st tri on October 5th. Wish me luck. Very nice to meet you "Iam46yearsold" I am 41. So much nicer in my 40's than earlier years when I took my health for granted! I'm hoping to do a 1/2 marathon nex...

You are AWESOME! How far are you from work? I live 30 miles & work 7a-7:30p. I'm just not up to it yet. I would LIKE to be & keep thinking of it. I just can't picture it yet. What kind of bike do you have? Do you bike in your scrubs? D...

Welcome Proud Mave!!!:spnngwlcm: Sounds like you're off to a wonderful start. You are wrapped in well wishes & happy thoughts! Kim

O.k., NOW it's Friday...isn't it? Sorry! I work 3 days a week...get confused sometimes! It's the Alzheimer's! Hope you're feeling better after the chest pain thing!!! Yikes! That's scary! I'm glad you went & got checked out. Good thinking......

I did 0 years & have never regretted it. The hospital I started working in had a wonderful internship program that lasted a minimum of 3 months & up to 6 months depending on the experience & progress of the nurse. The average new grad ...

Tom was 35 years old when he got sick. A strong police officer, Tom never expected to be diagnosed with Acute Myelogenous Leukemia. One day he was on the SWAT Team, breaking down doors, gun in hand, fighting the bad guys. That afternoon, he went to h...

Wow Gentle, Sounds like you deserve a vacation! :onbch:

Oh! 7 days a week is definitely tough & I wouldn't suggest it for anyone who hasn't been exercising for a while & can fit it into their lifestyle. It definitely has the possibility to set you up for failure & takes a huge committment. I...

consistency will actually be my website article topic this week. ONLY because this last couple of weeks have proven to be a huge breakthrough for me in this area. I'm NOTORIOUSLY INCONSISTENT - with EVERYTHING!

it's friday night: what's the best thing you did for yourself this week? me - i exercised every day. consistency is key for me & something i have a really hard time with. :redbeathe this week i did it!!! yay me!

That's what I kept running up against when I wanted to convert my ADN/BA to a BSN. Finally, I just gave up. Too frustrating & I really didn't want the BSN anyway, my job wanted me to have it. Much happier now that I'm not trying to please oth...

the gremlin in your head that says, "i feel fat, though" needs to be silenced!!!!! bad gremlin, bad!:argue: great job getting started walking! great job dropping 4 pounds! how does that feel?

Lots of opinions here - Some educated & experienced... Having been in nursing leadership for years, & surrounded by nursing & healthcare leaders - We made the hiring decisions. Wear what you want...If presented with 2 equally qualified a...

Looks like your local college is basically doing the same thing as long as they don't make you jump through a lot of "hoops" taking courses getting "ready" for your junior/senior nursing courses. Have a great time & welcome to nursing!

Skip the ADN & head straight for the accelerated BSN. You are a perfect candidate! You'll also be eligible for quick entry into MSN programs based on business or leadership. I'd avoid the trap of the ADN - it has given me headaches. I fell into...

I'm in 100% agreement with Hopeful! As a previous hiring manager, I vote suit. People make their hiring decision in about 30 seconds (actually research says 10-20 seconds). It's not fair, but it's reality. Wear the suit. Not only will it make a gre...

Eggbeaters suck! Fat-free cheese? YUCK! Girl...have a little real cheese with your eggs, just not a pig-pile. Veggies - WAY TO GO! When I ate meat, the mcgriddle was my best friend...so yummy. SOOOOOO full of junk! I'm feelin' your pain! I hop...

OMG! Laugh of the day. I have this hilarious pic in my head of you trying to protect your computer screen from the lurker while you are gasping for breath being poisoned by the gassy one, rolling on the floor laughing at the screen-touchers. :urck...

Do only what you can! I never meant for you to push yourself beyond your capabilities. It's awesome that you're riding your bike!! You go girl! Do you walk? I remember this hill by my house - it's about 3 feet high over a whole block. My husband...
