Painful!

I am on day two of no sugar and it is SO HARD!!! Not sure I can keep it up. I had a dream last night of chocolate cake.

shoe purchases online

hey there,

i'm also on the same page. you need solid, dependable (and COMFORTABLE) running shoes. otherwise, you're sacrificing so many things -- and it also impeded upon the impact of your work-out. i actually really like a lot of the online stores for walking/running shoes.

here is a review of the walking company, which i actually really recommend:

you can do it. you really can.

Hi Mary,

Thank you for the link. Taking charge of your life is huge---remember that there is no such thing as a perfect anything. There are no perfect houses, perfect families, perfect moms, perfect jobs, or perfect marriages. That's what's fun about being a human! We are in control: we decide what needs to be tweaked this way or the other, and we can decide what works/doesn't work in our own particular life.

I'm proud of you. Feel free to email me at anytime, and I'll try my hardest to make up some sort of inspirational mumbo-jumbo to keep you motivated. :-) Life is a process and a journey; there is no destination.

Congratulations on the weight loss!

xoxo

You've got a lot you want to tackle but it sounds like you also have a realistic perspective and are taking great steps towards accomplishing all those goals.

Good luck and keep us posted!

Have you tried exercise?

Liz Rizzo — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 10:46:41 -0500

I know, it sounds so trite and like you can't fit it in your schedule with everything else, but even scooping up your daughter for a quick walk around the block can help. Get yourself physically moving somehow.

Cutting out sugar can really help, too, and sleep - OMG a commitment to sleep will change your life if you can pull it off.

Hang in there, and I hope you feel better.

re: Nanoparticles

greentalk — Sun, 14 Sep 2008 16:27:30 -0500

I hate to throw another one into the mix. I read a report about nanoparticles where some products were safe until they were reduced to nanoparticles and could get into your blood stream.

Check out this Consumer report overview and click through the individual tabs associated with it:

http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/health-fitness/nanotechnology-7-07/wh...

Burt's Bee's sunscreen was on that list as it pertains to sunscreens that used nanoparticles. I don't know if they changed their formulation since this 2007 report. EWG also has a section on sunscreens as well.

On other note, Stacy Malkin wrote this amazing book called Not Just a Pretty Face, which discusses all of the above with great associated stories. A must read.

The vaginal birth is the one

bobloblaw — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 15:49:45 -0500

If given birth normally, the kid might present complications with the cord around his neck.

what?! you must be a man. women have been giving birth vaginally for literally, thousands of years. NO woman would chose a c - section over a vaginal birth.

My best friend had her first 2 children in a hospital, drugged up, and was miserable. she felt like both the doctors, nurses and staff didnt really care about her or her baby. She felt disconnected qto her children b/c they were taken away.

Her third child (and last to date) was born at home with a midwife, and she LOVED the experience. even said it made giving birth fun.

I was born myself in a boothing center via midwife, but, alas - i do not remember much of it. lol.

Socializing for Safer Skin Care

Green Bean Dreams — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 15:08:39 -0500

My Whole Foods offers free group classes about what ingredients to avoid, which to embrace, how to find skincare products with less packaging, etc. And honestly, nothing is more fun than mingling with girl friends while a Whole Foods team member plies you with non-bottled water and beautiful beauty care products.

Hi Lara! I really like

AlliesAnswers — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 11:16:49 -0500

Hi Lara!

I really like Weleda, Lavera, Burt's Bees, Yes To Carrots, Nourish, Badger Balm, Honeybee Gardens, The Merry Hempsters, and Dr. Bronners. What's great is that a lot of these products are showing up in mainstream stores now - I know Target carries Burt's Bees, Dr. Bronners and Weleda, and Walgreens carries Yes To Carrots.

You can also check out the list of companies that signed the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics - http://www.safecosmetics.org/companies/signers.cfm

You can also create a shopping list of products that meet your standards here - http://www.cosmeticdatabase.com/search.php

Hope this helps!
