Hi Kelli, I tried to email you a response but it didnt go through. I have plenty of the red cypress vine, however the danish poppy and black cloud are out. I am expecting some lilac pom pom to arrive in a few days, its a beauty! If your in no hurry I can subsitute some of that instead. Also the Red Zinger isnt ready to harvest yet, but will be soon. I saw a few I would love to have in your list too, the echinacea, monarda, and the hyacinth bean. I think my email is listed above in one of the replys. Im new here so I dont know the proper way to contact people, but am totally ok with sending you my address for trade, and if you want to give me yours I can get seeds in the mail for you. If you want to wair a few days for the pom poms to arrive you could do that or I could send them another time. Thanks for your interests and I hope to hear from you soon.

Do you have a favorite exercise DVD?
Q
Comments (21)
I won't even admit how many exercise DVDs I've tried. My very favorite is Karen Voigt and, in fact, I just bought her Ballet BodySculpt DVD http://www.amazon.com/Ballet-BodySculpt-Karen-Voight/dp/B00466G5XA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1342028935&sr=8-1&keywords=ballet+sculpt+voight and I love it. I was worried it would be too easy, but it was a good workout. I have most of her other DVDs also. I also like The Method All in One http://www.amazon.com/Method-Pilates-All-One-Workout/dp/B000067J06/ref=sr_1_1?s=movies-tv&ie=UTF8&qid=1342029138&sr=1-1&keywords=The+Method+All+in+One, altho some people think it's too complicated. Sometimes, tho, I think that's better than multiple boring reps. I also recently bought Supreme 90 day http://www.amazon.com/Supreme-Day-System-Cal-Pozo/dp/B004S2YN5O/ref=sr_1_1?s=movies-tv&ie=UTF8&qid=1342029208&sr=1-1&keywords=supreme+90+day+10-dvd+set+workout for the Tabata workout, but you get 10 DVDs for $20. I also love Yoga DVDs. The reviews on Amazon really help me decide if a DVD is something I'd like.

Thursday's 'Share a exercise tip' exercise thread
Q
Comments (4)
Supposed to cut the grass today, but doubt if I'll get to it. It's not growing anymore, thank goodness, so I'm safe for another week. I've been walking all day every day at work, so I take my days off to relax, sort of, although I am doing housework, and that's enough exercise for one day. I do have one tip, though. While you're sitting in your recliner watching t.v., do leg lifts and bicycles (don't have to stick your feet up in the air) and throw in a few scissors. You'll feel that tush tightening quicker than you would imagine, and the tummy flattening too. I started out doing about 20, and ended up doing 500, and it helped me a lot. Of course, I'm not doing it now, but I'm going to start back. I just don't watch too much t.v. anymore.

I predict a thread titled "What have you lost" might be quite long.

I'm not sure I'd be overly worried about the JM's. If established in the ground, they should be able to take temps down to -20F pretty well, although some specific cultivars may behave a bit differently. And you can get some winter dieback from upper branches.....but that happens here as well and we never get anywhere that cold! It just seems to be a JM phenomenon, more so with the weeping dissectums than the uprights. I prune out deadwood every spring!

I started walking with the puppy during the daytime last week. I only get a mile or two in because he gets tired and then I have to carry him. We try to get the kids out for either a walk or bike ride at night.

Since the weather has been nicer, I hid most of the video games last week and kicked the kids out of the house. They went out front and sat on the porch swing. It is too pretty for them to be couch potatoes inside. My 8 yo snuck the tv back on so I think that will be the next to go. We have had a few kids move into the neighborhood this summer so they've been playing outside more.

I didn't go for my morning walk with the dogs this morning, too tired. Get up about 4:30 to take the pup out to do her business, she doesn't want to wait:( Then I go back to bed and usually get back up around 7 and take the dogs for a walk. Or rather the pup takes me for a walk:)

I did go this evening though and added a little more distance so it was about a mile and quarter. Wish I had more stamina and less poundage and could make it further before tiring out.

Started walking at the park a couple of weeks ago. Am able to do two miles in 30 minutes now. (Have had a desk job for 30 years) Walking everyday. Can''t say that I'm enjoying it yet. Maybe that will come later.

Walked the dogs two miles and then went to the gym and did two more on the treadmill and lifted some weights.

Good week for me - 40 mins on my Airdyne exercise bike twice and 90 mins of tennis twice. Of couse it helps that I'm on vacation from work this week. I still try to get in exercise 4-5x a week but sometimes long days at the office cut into my plans.
