Americans Are Buying Less-Efficient Cars as Gasoline Prices Dive
Americans are continuing to favor bigger cars and trucks as gasoline prices dive, undermining the federal government's environmental goals.
New passenger vehicles sold in the U.S. got an average 25.1 miles a gallon in December, down from 25.3 mpg in November and 25.8 mpg in August. That's according to industry data compiled by the University of Michigan's Transportation Research Institute.

The unlocked version of the #HTC #OneM8 is now available via eBay for just $159.99. The smartphone is manufacturer refurbished. The seller is only offering the handset in a Gray variant, so color choices are fairly slim. The One M8 is the company's flagship offering from two years ago. While it wasn't the success that the company had hoped for, it's a worthwhile option at this price point.
The One M8 comes with a 5-inch 1080p display, a quad-core Snapdragon 801 SoC, 2GB of RAM, 32GB of expandable storage, a 4-megapixel Duo Camera on the back, a 5-megapixel front camera, Android 4.4 KitKat (upgradable to Marshmallow), and a 2,600 mAh battery. The One M8 also comes with HTC's iconic BoomSound stereo speakers on the front, which still remains one of the best mobile speakers we've seen.
Interested in snatching up the 2014 HTC flagship on the cheap? We suggest you head over to the eBay listing for more details.

so where have i been.
i quit writing a few months ago mostly because i've been frustrated and depressed, and i feel pretty strongly that the nobody reading my blog wants to read about my depression and misery all the time. when i write like that it comes across as so much whining.
so, i'm still alive and i'm less depressed. somewhat.
i've started with a shrink again. only had two sessions but we'll see. have an appt pending with a new psychiatrist as well. i hate depakote -- the shit is physically too large and makes me gag.

There are speculations that the City of Tshwane Mayor Solly Msimanga is dancing to the tune of the EFF after the party saved him from a motion of no confidence tabled by the ANC.
Speculations come after an announcement that city manager Moeketsi Mosola will stay at his post despite a report from Msimanga that his presence in office could be detrimental to the stability of the municipality.
Did the DA agree to this to please the EFF for saving Msimanga?
Misimanga says council took a decision that an investigation on Mosola should continue but while the investigation is underway they do not see any risk of interference. Therefore, he should remain in his position.
Msimanga says his recommendations were clear on the matter that Mosola should be suspended but it seems council had a different view.
Read: Msimanga recommends suspension of Tshwane city manager
Council decided that they don't see anything wrong therefore we will proceed with him being there.— Solly Msimanga, Mayor of Tshwane
After the preliminary report which will be available in 30 days time, then we will be able to make a final call in terms of the suspension.— Solly Msimanga, Mayor of Tshwane
If council is satisfied with the reasons provided that the man doesn't pose any threats towards the investigation then that's what's been put forward.— Solly Msimanga, Mayor of Tshwane
Msimanga denies that the EFF persuaded him to change his mind about suspending Mosola saying this was a multi-party decision.
To hear the rest of the conversation with Solly Msimanga, listen below:

Polk State beat State College of Florida, Manatee-Sarasota 92-79 today on Special Olympics Night in Winter Haven.
The Eagles missed some early shots and found themselves down 22-7 at the 13-minute mark in the first half.
They then scored 10 unanswered points, cutting the deficit to 22-17.
The Eagles went into halftime trailing 40-37.
In the second half, they took a 55-53 lead with 12 minutes remaining and never trailed again.
"State College of Florida really came out strong," said Head Coach Matt Furjanic. "I think they hit about the first seven or eight of their first shots and about four of them were three-pointers.
"It was a good team effort. It's nice to bounce back after Wednesday's loss to St. Pete. Like I told our guys, we're still in first place in the conference. We need to keep winning to determine our fate."
Darelle Porter led the Eagles with 20 points, including four three-point shots.
Reger Baker scored 17 points.
Troy Simons finished with 16 points and went five-for-six at the free-throw line.
Dominique Reid collected 13 points, while Dayjar Dickson scored 10, and Elijah Cottrill had nine.
Halftime featured a game between two teams from Polk County Special Olympics while the Eagles cheered and offered encouragement from their bench.
Shelley Henry, Polk County director of Special Olympics, then presented a plaque to President Eileen Holden, Furjanic, and the players and assistant coaches in recognition of their support of Special Olympics.
"We have sort of adopted them," said Furjanic. "Our players volunteered at a Polk County Special Olympics basketball competition in December. We were supposed to be there for about two hours, but when some other volunteers didn't show up, our players said that they wanted to stay all day.
"They really bonded with the Special Olympians. It was so beautiful to watch our players putting their hearts out that day and making friends with the athletes, and since then we've had a few of them come to our games."
Furjanic said he plans to have an ongoing partnership with Special Olympics.
"We plan to make this an annual occurrence where we will help them at their competition and they will bring their athletes to play a halftime exhibition like they did tonight.
"Our players were really into that exhibition game, and I don't want to say that it provided a little spark, but our players felt really good watching and cheering for the Special Olympians because they know some of these athletes now. They've made friends with them, and I really give credit to all our players for having such big hearts."
Polk State (20-7, 5-1, No. 6 FCSAA) returns to action Wednesday at 7 p.m. against Hillsborough Community College in Winter Haven.

Get wild and let loose with the timeless game of Leapfrog.
Step 1: Find open space
Grab at least one of your friends and head to an open space.
At least two people are needed to play, but the more the merrier!
Step 2: Line up
Get into a straight line facing forward. All players kneel down and cover their heads with their hands, except for last person.
Step 3: Put hands on another player's back
The last person places their hands on the back of the next person in line. Their back becomes a platform to jump over.
Step 4: Leap
Leap over the person, spreading your legs like a frog. Continue leaping over everyone until you reach the front of the line, kneel down, and place your hands over your head.
Step 5: Wait for the next player
Wait while each player repeats the steps in order. The game can go on forever as each person leaps up the line and into the front position.
Fact: The longest game of leapfrog involved 927 players.

Comparisons between iPad Pro and Macbook
The 256 GB 12.9-inch iPad pro model starts at $999. With an aditional $169 of a Smart Keyboard, you're spending $1168.
The MacBook, however, starts at $1299 for the 256 GB with 8 GB. If the price difference is bothering you, you can always upgrade to very fast 500GB SSD and an m2 or m3 Intel processor.
Along with the Smart Keybord, iPad weights in at 2.33 pounds (1.06 kg) while MacBook is just 2.03 pounds (0.93 kg). It doesn't make such a huge difference but is, however, in MacBook's advantage.
In this area, iPad's 264 dpi is superior to the MacBook's who has just 226.
The keyboard is important. A lot of people say the MacBook keyboard has a very low profile butterfly mechanism. But it has very clear backlighting which doesn't appear to be on none of the iPad's Smart Keyboard.
Both MacBook and iPad Pro are Unix-based. MacOS handles dozens of browser tabs open for research, along with more RAM, better than iOS.
Well, clearly the MAcBook's 10GB/sec USB 3.1 port is much better than iPad I/O.
To come to a final conclusion, there are two types of users compatible with these types of devices. An artist would choose an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil over the MacBook, who is better for writers. Between these two, iOS is perfect for daily work.
In most cases, MacBook and iPad pro share very similar features and Apple still charges about the same price. For the cost of an iPad Pro along with a Smart Keyboard, you can easily get a real computer, capable of running multiple operating systems and applications and even if the Apple company thinks that its iPad Pro could manage to beat a laptop some day, it certainly won't.

Possibly Amsterdam, Galerie M.L. de Boer, 1975.
Renowned Lebanese painter Shafic Abboud has one of the most distinctly recognisable styles that is considered to be a manifesto of light, freedom, colour and happiness revealing not only a true passion for painting, but also a deep sense of attachment to both his birthplace of Lebanon and his home in France. His rigorous abstraction and thick layering of paint have become synonymous to his vast artistic oeuvre. His style, an amalgamation of bright and contrasting colour, dynamic strokes and abstract technique have translated into fascinating visual imagery.
With a painterly oeuvre that explores the depths of abstraction, Abboud's artistic talents were complemented by the serenity of the Parisian landscape. Moving to Paris in 1947 contributed a great deal to the development of the artist's style, coinciding with a time of great prosperity for the arts in France. Exemplifying the last of the Paris School, alongside artists from countries such as the Middle East, China and India, he had the ability to formulate an artistic methodology which drew inspiration from his new life in France. Abboud's style changed dramatically throughout his lifetime, driven by the conviction he possessed in his own technique. Beginning first as a figural and landscape painter, the artist would later abandon discernible imagery for more geometric and abstract compositions. Despite eschewing recognisable imagery from his paintings in favour of a technique which gave precedence to an expressionistic style, the artist's maturity arrived with his abstract canvases.
The decade of the 1970s was an important period for Abboud. Not only was it a time in which he travelled a great deal back to Lebanon in order to teach but significantly the present work from 1975 was painted the year the Lebanese Civil War broke out. As a time of great experimentation, this work is embedded with a sense of spontaneity both through its use of brushstrokes as well as its imagery. Showing a great deal of complexity, the artist uses interwoven shapes and contrasting geometrical forms which he patterns across the canvas. In no particular order or direction, the canvas becomes a myriad of oddly composed forms and bursts of bold colour. Exacerbated by the thick application of paint, the density of these various pockets of great detail become more powerful, complemented by the contrast of large planes of colour. These large, seemingly flat passages of colour exude an organic simplicity and sense of calm against the complexity of Abboud's patterned forms. Employing a sense of humble spontaneity to his works, the artist truly holds a talent for the art of abstraction. Despite moving to France, it is clear that the artist's is deeply passionate about his home in Lebanon and the childhood he spent there. This nostalgic tone across his canvases is mirrored by the hues of blue, green, white and orange, reminiscent of Lebanon's landscape that are painted onto this captivating canvas.

My 8 Pregnancy Essentials - Things That Help Me Through Pregnancy
As I have just turned 34 weeks pregnant today, I think it's a good time to look back on my pregnancy so far and curate a list of must-have items that helped me during this special time of my life. Hopefully I can help those of you out there who are about to embark on the same journey as me.
No. 1: A Large Water Bottle
We all know how important it is to stay hydrated especially during pregnancy, this water bottle is one of the best purchases I did since pregnant. I got this blue 2 litres MAIGG water bottle from Amazon, it cost me £12.99, but it saves money in the long run as you don't have to keep buying bottled water. What's more, it is more environmental friendly than bottled water. What I do is to boil the water from the kettle and let it cool before pouring it to the bottle, it last me the whole day without having to refill as it holds a lot! It is also a good reminder for me to drink plenty of water throughout the day, which using a glass just won't do.
No. 2: Prenatal Vitamins
I take this Vitabiotics Pregnacare Max vitamins everyday without fail. It is so important to get all the nutrients you need for the baby to develop. During the first three months, I wasn't able to eat much due to the morning sickness, so I made sure I take the vitamins. It also comes with the omega-3 capsules, which is very important for baby's brain development, but you probably won't get enough if you are not eating much fish.
No.3: Palmer's Cocoa Butter Stretch Mark Cream
I started using Palmer's Cocoa Butter stretch mark cream from the very beginning of my pregnancy, even before I started to show the bump. I have been lucky so far without any stretch marks. They say genetic factor plays a big role here, my mum had stretch marks when she was pregnant with me, but I have none so far, so I guess this cream obviously works for me!
No. 4: Pregnancy Plus App
I check this app everyday, normally first thing in the morning. There are lots of useful articles daily and I found it very informative. Check out this app if you are pregnant, it is free but you have to pay £2.99 if you want all the functions, which I found definitely worth it.
No.5: Pregnancy Pillow
I got this pregnancy pillow from eBay. This pillow can be detached into three separate ones and I normally use only one of them and put it between my legs. As the baby grows heavier each day, it puts more pressure on your body. Have some sort of support during sleep makes sleeping so much more comfortable.
No.6: Maternity Bra
I stopped wearing wired bras from the very beginning of my pregnancy, just found it digging in my chest and uncomfortable. I pretty much live in these kind of cotton stretchy bras now, they are the most comfortable bras you'll ever wear. I got some from TK Maxx but couldn't find a link there, you can find loads of similar ones like these from Amazon.
No.7: Flat Shoes
There are so many benefits of wearing flat shoes during pregnancy and I have done so throughout my pregnancy. They are comfortable and safe to walk in, especially during the later stage of pregnancy, the added weight and the water retention gives your feet so much pressure, you have got to give your feet some extra TLC. Also, these flats are easy to slip on, no shoes laces involved, you know how tricky it can be for a pregnant woman to tie up her shoe laces one of these days!
No.8: Stretchy Dress
These stretchy dresses are my favourite kind of clothing to wear during pregnancy. They look cute and easy to wear. I ordered this floral maternity dress from ASOS and wore it on my baby shower. These kind of body-con silhouette is most flattering for my bump and the material is although not the best, it is quite comfortable to wear. It only costs £28 so really affordable. In my opinion, it is just not worth it forking out on expensive maternity wear, as you'll only gonna wear them for a few months.
So these are 8 of my pregnancy essentials. I hope this post is helpful if you are also pregnant or planning to get pregnant.

The way a woman sleeps during pregnancy is important. It is more than comfort - it is also promoting safety and preventing complications. With this, it is necessary to buy pregnancy pillows. But the question is - "How to select the right pregnancy pillow?" "What are the features that your pregnancy pillow must have?"pregnancy pillow reviewsReplyDelete

Last year we had a bird feeder hanging on our front porch during the winter months and while we enjoyed seeing the birds on a daily basis, we couldn't quite justify the cost of bird seed for another winter. So this year, we opted not to put it out.
Then as a Christmas gift from a friend, I received a DIY bird feeder package, complete with everything I'd need to make it and detailed instructions. Talk about an awesome gift! It just took me a while to actually make it. But don't you worry, this was the week. I guess I was just in a DIY mood, with all the other awesome things I have completed lately.
So here is how you make this fun little bird feeder. Take a wooden wreath and drizzle liquid honey all over it.
Beware though, you will most definitely get sticky during this part, no matter how hard you try not too. It's just inevitable when it comes to dealing with honey.
Once the wreath is nice and sticky, carefully pour a bird seed mix onto it.
Be sure to have your wreath on a plate before doing this, since you will probably make a mess with all the seed.
Then all you have to do is tie twine to it and hang it wherever you want!
Pretty isn't it? I like how it's just kind of simple and whimsical. We chose the front porch again for the bird feeder, since it's a nice protected spot and is right in front of the living room window, for maximum bird viewing pleasure.
Have you ever made a bird feeder? I always thought they were too complicated, but after making this one, I have changed my mind!

10 things to see and do in Haida Gwaii
BC Almanac listeners share their favourite spots on the Misty Isles
BC Almanac paid a visit to Haida Gwaii on Friday as part of the lead up to National Aboriginal Day on Saturday.
Host Mark Forsythe heard from islanders, mainlanders, residents and visitors, past and present, who told our listeners about their favourite places and activities on Haida Gwaii.
Here are 10 places and experiences not to miss on your next trip to Haida Gwaii:
1. Gwaii Haanas
The southern third of Haida Gwaii is a protected nature reserve jointly managed by Parks Canada and the Haida Nation. The land is home to grand forests and distinct wildlife such as the Haidi Gwaii black bear and the waters around these islands feature an abundance of coral reefs, kelp forests and all manner of sea life.
"The biggest thing for people to understand is you have to come here," says Jason Alsop of the Archipelago Management Board. "I couldn't even use words to describe it."
2. Longhouses
Also in Gwaii Haanas, visitors can explore Haida cultural sites dating back thousands of years. Guided tours are available from April to October from members of the Haida Nation who show visitors the remains of uniquely-constructed longhouses and the cultural practices of the Haida people.
3. Tow Hill
This massive 400-foot cliff is part of Naikoon Provincial Park on Graham Island. It was formed by erupting lava millions of years ago and visitors can go hiking and ATVing, and can explore cultural sites of both Haida and colonial origin. At the base of the cliff is the Blow Hole, a surge channel that sprays great clouds of mist when large ocean waves crash into it.
4. North Beach
Another attraction within Naikoon Provincial Park is the popular North Beach. The sloping beach on the Hecate Strait features several rental cabins, surfing and traditional activities like clam digging.
5. Whale Watching
During the spring, orcas can be seen in Haida Gwaii. Skidegate Inlet makes an ideal spot to see them and other whales in their natural habitat.
Grace Broadfoot, a tour operator, had a close encounter with a humpback on her first day of work on a boat off Haida Gwaii.
"We found ourselves in the midst of about 100 humpbacks migrating... 360 degrees around us they were feeding, calling to each other, you could hear them and smell them even at some points."
6. The Gwaii Haanas Hot Springs
A 2012 earthquake shut off the hot springs used by the Haida people for generations. It was a popular tourist attraction as well, but there's some slim hope the hot springs will return.
7. Haida Heritage Centre at Kay Llnagaay
This multi-building facility in Skidegate is a place where Haida culture can be expressed in its many forms.
Performances are held in the auditorium, fine arts are taught at the Bill Reid Teaching Centre and large pieces like totem poles and canoes are made in the carving house. The Centre also offers tours of the land as well as tours of the sea on traditional canoes.
8. Haida Gwaii Museum
Founded in 1976, the museum covers the history of Haida Gwaii and the Haida people through the pre- and post-contact eras as well as their way of life today. The museum is also a tribute to the ancestors of the Haida people, many of whom are buried nearby.
9. Fishing
Haida Gwaii is famous for the fishing opportunities. Over two dozen charter companies take anglers out to fish for salmon and halibut. Crab, shrimp and shellfish are also plentiful. Many of the fishing lodges provide valuable business opportunities for the Haida people.
10. Haida House at Tlall
This modern resort in Tlell is a cedar lodge situated on a river and between sand dunes and the sea. It was awarded the 2013 Aboriginal Tourism BC Award for outstanding accommodation and guest services. Cultural ambassadors are offered to guest for tours and local knowledge of Haida Gwaii.

I was back to pre pregnancy weight 4 months after my c-section, BUT my abs are still separated and I still look pregnant with a saggy pooches out belly. Mind you, I was a fitness/yoga instructor for years before giving birth to my two children. HELP!!!ReplyDeleteReplies
Do you have a hernia? Or Diastasis Recti?Delete
Pretty Fierce Weight Loss has Core workouts for the diastasis, so it might be right up your alley!
- AnonymousJanuary 13, 2013 at 9:05 AM
I would like to get one of your new workouts....ReplyDelete
How long are the workouts on the videos?
I don't have any weight to lose but would like my abs and butt to be tight.
I do have diasasis recti (sorry about the spelling)
Which fierce workout would you recommend?
Also is there anything that can help with breasts that have shrunk after having children?
Thanks a bunch!Replies
The videos range form 12-55 min, depending on which program. In Lean Out 2 of the workouts are longer - 46 and 55 min. But most of the time we stick to 30 min or less with new trainings like Tabata and HIIT.Delete
I think Lean Out is what you are looking for BUT Lean Out does not modify for diastasis recti. How severs is your diastasis? We may be able to put you on a recovery plan and pull it together before starting the Lean Out program.
- AnonymousJanuary 14, 2013 at 9:29 PM
Thanks so much for your reply. 30 minutes is great when there are little ones begging for something.Delete
There is a gap of about 1 and 1/4" on the diastasis.
Just starting the Pretty Fierce Lean Out program. Just wondering...how many pair of workout shoes do you own?!! Every video is a new pair and a cute workout outfit. Makes me want to shop! I hope I can walk after doing these workouts! Even if I can't, I'll look better in a swimsuit laying around the pool (in my dreams...toddlers don't let you lie down at the pool). Maybe juggling all three kids will be easier though.ReplyDelete
Business Perks! The shoes - filming is the best excuse to buy new shoes. We are on set for a long time so I always tell myself I need a clean/dry pair for each shot:) And I always can talk myself into any workout piece even if I don't need it.ReplyDelete
I like your dream...lying at the pool!

I ordered the Pretty Fierce weight loss dvds on Saturday and I just finished the Cardio Plyometrics workout (1 of the 3 emailed). It was tough - tough, but good. I noticed on the calendar that the Plyometrics are followed by a Core A workout. Would you suggest using one of your other dvds to fill in until the other dvds arrive? I have the CFS, PNBC & Core Metabolic Jumpstart dvds.ReplyDelete
I also have say that, like the previous poster, I feel the need for some new shoes now :)
Oopsie, it's there now! Sorry about that.ReplyDelete
New shoes, for me, are all about the color. Half of them give me blisters:)

Hi Lindsay,ReplyDelete
I purchased the Pretty Fierce Lean Out program on the 7th. Since then I have been using the free trial dvds whilst i eagerly await my DVD pack. I have tried the upper body, core and the total body endurance trials. WOW- my muscles are really forming. I struggle with the ladder workouts- I am doing 8 out of the ten repetitions. But i am hanging in there because i can visualise a slimmer me at the end of 60 days. I have tried so hard over the last few years to loose the final 10 pounds but i have not succeeded. You push me to excel. I did the V02 run test and ran the whole 1.5 miles- because i felt you were there behind me. I am enjoying this healthy lifestyle. I also feel like i am working out with my best friends. Thank you so much!!!!
Sandra, that is just fantastic! I LOVE that the program is pushing you. It pushed me to the limits as I geared up for filming:)ReplyDelete

Will there be individual downloads of these workouts available for purchase?ReplyDelete
I've done both workouts and I think I prefer the lean out one better, but I do have diastasis pretty bad... My mom gave me a $100 amazon gift card so I'm thinking of getting one of them. What equipment do we need for each?ReplyDelete
(Oh and my diastasis is about 3 fingers width)ReplyDelete
Aslaug, what a good point, it's all about the shoes:)ReplyDelete
Ashley, I did not recall you having Diastasis after the other babies. Is my brain foggy?ReplyDelete
Tough call with Lean Out and Diastasis. I know your body needs the extra umph from Lean Out having been with MIF for years. Here is the thing - Lean Out puts you in a lot of plank positions and positions where your core integrity is totally challenged. Heal that Diastasis:) See how many fingers you have in 2 weeks and let me know!
Yes, the downloads will be available with the launch of our Apps at the end of this month. There will be options of buying single workouts too!ReplyDelete
Hi there - I would loooove to purchase the pretty fierce weight loss set, however I have a 9 finger diastasis that is not rehabable (been diagnosed by experts - only option is surgery). However I'm not there yet because I'd still like to have another baby and would love to shake the rest of this post-baby weight from my last (1 year ago). Can I safely do most of the weight loss program? I wear the Tuppler brace and do her exercises anyways to make sure my TAs stay strong.ReplyDeleteReplies
Poor thing, surgery repair. But I totally get you want to get rid of some weight and then have another baby!Delete
And yes, I think this program will be perfect for you. You will just need to stick with Core A and follow all Diastasis modifications. If Core A causes you any pain at all you may need to eliminate some of it, or all together. And during the push-ups you may need to modify. Otherwise we do not do anything "DR unfriendly" in the Wt Loss Pretty Fierce Series.

Hi there! I'm 13 months post partum and haven't really been working out much (though we do walk a lot!). How long are the Weight Loss workouts?ReplyDeleteReplies
Congrats on the baby! I think this program will work for you, just know when to say when if it's too much! Workouts range from 20-40 minutes, most days we ask you to do under 30 minutes.Delete
I'm not sure which one is better for me. My youngest child is 2 1/2 and I'd really like to tone and tighten my body (abs and butt), plus I wouldn't mind losing 10 pounds. Can you help me decide which program would be better?ReplyDeleteReplies
If you have been working out consistently I would recommend Lean Out. But if you workout here and there, maybe 2-3x/week you shoudl start with Weight Loss. Then maybe move to Lean Out after 60 days of the first program. You can also do the Free Trials and decide from there!Delete

Hi Lindsay! I'm 11 weeks post partum and am eager to get back into shape. I've been back into exercising for a few weeks and am feeling better every day. I was wondering if I really need to wait until 10 months pp or if there is criteria that I need to meet before starting the Lean Out series? I was active before pregnancy and have recovered fairly quickly weight wise. However I'm really wanting to get my butt kicked in the strength and toning department. :)ReplyDeleteReplies
Lianne, I totally get that! At 6 weeks your body is "normal" again, but it usually takes until 6 months until cardiovascular and muscular strength are back to where they were. With that said you know your body better than anybody! And if you feel ready, your doc says ok, then go for it. Just know when to say when and take it easy, doing a lot of modifications. I know if I did these full workouts 11 weeks pp I would have made it halfway through and fallen over:) So go easy on yourself and your goals, ok?Delete

I am wondering what you do for snacks! I always want everything to serve a purpose if I am going to eat it, so I want my snacks to be healthy. Ideas? And my second question is: how do you feel about peanut butter? One second I hear it's terrible and the next that it's a good source of protein. What do you think, and what brand of PB do you use? Oh, and another question: how do you feel about cheese? Full of fat or good for calcium and protein? Help!ReplyDeleteReplies
Good questions! I wish I had your mentality! I eat for pleasure over purpose sometimes!Delete
Peanut Butter, just fine. If you are worried about it you can go for less sugar or Nutella.
Cheese, full fat, just fine. As you said great sources of protein and calcium. You cannot, nor should you remove, all fats form yoru diet. And cheese kind of has a dual purpose.
My snacks: cheese and crackers, apples and peanut butter, fruit, salads, veggies and dip (not always the good for you dip but whatever sounds good). I hope this helps!
Doing lean out, and loving it so far. Never bored and always challenged. I have been trying my best to follow the two week meal plan. I was wondering if after two weeks I have to eliminate most carbs after 4 or if I should just focus more on calories and the dos and don'ts at that point?ReplyDeleteReplies
After 2 weeks you can focus more on the TDEE you calculated in your packet. Also, hop into the Nutrition Webinar - it will teach what to do after the meal plan. Glad you are loving Lean Out!Delete
YOu got it! After 2 weeks focus on the Do's and Don'ts Nutrition Webinar!ReplyDelete
Just started the lean out program Monday and I'm so sore! It was hard (and I was doing some intense workouts with a trainer before I started.) switching it up was good for me! I'm nursing so the food control is hard for me! Have about 8 lbs to pre- weight of baby number one but would like to drop my body fat percentage. Any tips?ReplyDelete
I think if you give it a few weeks you will be surprised at the fat loss! If you need help in the food department, use the envelope icon at the top of the blog and email Jess!ReplyDelete
Sorry for another question, but I've heard you talk about "weight loss mode" vs "maintenance" mode. What's the difference as far as nutrition goes? Obviously you exercise more in "weight loss" mode, but is your nutrition any different?ReplyDeleteReplies
Your nutrition is the make/break it part in weight loss mode. So yes, that is where the difference lies!Delete
Hi there! I just purchased your program Pretty Fierce Lean Out. I would love to private message you regarding some questions I have on my goal weight (sent to me when I purchased the program) and also how to modify the program to my fitness level. Is that possible? They are questions I don't feel comfortable putting here if that makes sense. :)ReplyDeleteReplies
I was thinking about this over the weekend and no real reason I can't post here but if you would rather message me you can at email@example.com. The goal weight you sent me was 110. I am 5'3" and I have competed in Figure in the past - the lowest I ever got to was 117lbs. IMHO, 110lbs would be too skinny - is it possible there was a miscalculation? Also, I currently workout regularly with programs like Cathe Freidrich, Insanity and other high intensity programs. On your schedule, I felt like it was lighter than what I would normally do. I eat similar to your recommends currently so just curious if you would recommending a different schedule? Thanks much!Delete
Sure, you can always hit the envelope icon at the top of the page to message us!Delete
For your target weight, we use a calculation with a BMI of 19.5. Normal BMI is 18.5-24.9. As you can see we use a BMI on the lower end. And it is just a calculation, it does not take in muscle vs. fat etc. You know your body best!
Lean Out is a high intensity program. Do you feel the recovery week is where the schedule differs? We use methods in which your heart rate is high even while you are doing arm strength i.e. push-up jacks. That way moms can squeeze it into their day. Do you feel the time on the schedule is less? If so it is because of our workout method combining intense strength with cardio. Let us know how the first week goes!

Hi Lindsay,ReplyDelete
After doing P90X for a year I finally found out that the reason my stomach still looks like I'm 5 months pregnant is because of Diastasis Recti. I had never even heard of it til a couple days ago! What's even worse is that for a year I was doing every ab exercise that you're NOT supposed to do if you have it! I'm so frustrated I could scream! I've been on the internet for 2 days now trying to find some information and advice that I feel like I can trust. I came upon your website and have been looking at your DVD's. I still plan on continuing P90X except for the Ab workout until I can heal my diastasis, so as far as a program that I can do to fix this, what do you suggest? Would any of your DVD's be able to help me in this area? Thanks so much! I hope you can help me!Replies
Ah man, I hear your frustration! But I am so glad you have it figured out! I love P90x and the results, although I ahve never done them myself I have done Tony' Horton's classes and I love him.Delete
There are several positions you shoudl not do: twisting, planks, quadruped, isometric, in addition to the traditional ab exercises in the abs video. So make sure you are very cautious about that.
Try the Diastasis Friendly Core Workout in our Pretty Fierce: Weight Loss Free Trial. Pretty Fierce Wieght Loss is for you if you like it. It is totally DR friendly!

I remember reading somewhere on your blog...or the website (one of those sleepless baby nights) so I don't really remember where it was, but you had posted how many calories could be burned with your specific videos (boot camp, etc). Do you know where I could find that info again? Also, have you done that calculation for pretty fierce yet? Thank you in advance!ReplyDeleteReplies
The average for Pretty Fierce is 450, closer to 350-400 if you are under 140 lbs.Delete
Boot Camp is 300 for 30 min. Hope that helps!
- AnonymousFebruary 26, 2013 at 4:33 PM
Thank you for your quick reply! Ive been doing Boot Camp for 2 weeks and am already seeing results. It looks like Pretty Fierce is a way to switch things up & maybe take them up a notch...Ive really enjoyed looking through the material on your blog & website. You seem to be very authentic and passionate about what you do! Thanks for that motivation and encouragement--I think it really makes a difference!Delete
It would be great to know how many calories burned per Pretty Fierce Lean Out video rather than an overall average. I know it varies by each person's size but it would help to have a more specific answer. For example, doing Aerobic Capacity 26 minutes can't burn as many as if you go for the whole 46, but it would help to know the difference for those of us tracking for weight loss. Thank you!Delete
Lauren Marie, you are so right! And yes many factors go into it (age, weight, height, heart rate, etc.) So for 26 min the estimate is 300 for a 130 lb woman. Does that help?Delete
Also, remember that your body does not work on a 24 hour clock. So estimates are ok, you will find a good balance for your body.

Hi, I have a 1 year old baby boy, and I worked out throughout the entire pregnancy and was back to my pre-pregnancy clothes within 1 week. I am an avid runner and mix in weight lifting and Insanity workouts. I'm not looking to lose any weight, currently I'm 5' 7" and 125lbs, but with all of my running and the Insanity workouts, I feel like my thighs sometimes look a bit bulky. I've read reviews that say your two Pretty Fierce programs are similar in intensity to the Insanity program -- which would you recommend if I'm looking to try find another option to mix into my routine (keeping up with my current fitness level) while staying away from getting any more muscle bulk?ReplyDeleteReplies
Pretty Fierce Lean Out would be perfect for you! It incorporates running, as well as offering schedules for 10k and half marathons. That way you can adjust the workouts to include your running, and hopefully not cause any bulk. We space out the plyometrics and leg workouts with these calendars so you stay long and lean. I too have issues with bulking when I do too much running and weight lifting.Delete
P.S. So jealous you were at your pre-prego weight at 1 week PP!

Hello, when you get a chance please help. I dont know where to start. I cannot workout like I used to so I'm quite confused and would say I need a beginner routine.

Jackie, hi! Sorry for the delayed response. 3 x 3 ear infections at our house last week!Delete
I think our Postnatal 2 Packs would be perfect for you. I think you mentioned in another post you used to be pretty fit. So your body will remember things quickly. So I would go for the advanced pack http://www.momsintofitness.com/shop/postnatal-dvd-pack-for-advanced/
Follow the diastasis recommendations until you no longer feel you are "struggling". Do you think there is anything else going on with your core/pain? Maybe a hernia? Let's rule that out first, let me know!
Totally ok! Understandable. God bless you that's a lot of crankiness going on at once. I just discussed this with my husband. I don't feel like something is wrong I just feel like shaky and weak when I try to start off how I "used" to work out BC that's all I know. Like my muscles are screaming woah! Stop! Lol. I know I have to work back up to what I was used to. Is this normal? So would you still have that same recommendation? Thank you so much for your time!ReplyDelete
As long as there is no pain, it sounds normal to me! Just take it easy and listen to your body. It will tell you if it is too much!Delete

Hey Lauren! A lot of it depends on your current height and weight, but in general you are looking at 90-100 calories/10 minutes if you are under 140 lbs and 110-130/10 minutes if you are over 140 lbs.

I just bought Pretty Fierce Lean Out. I did only have may last baby 4 1/2 months ago, but could only afford one set of dvds and had already lost all my baby weight and 5lbs more. I have just been listening to my body when doing the workouts, but have only done the anarobic and aerobic because i haven't been able to afford dumbbells yet. Do you think I can do the endurance workouts without weights? Is there some sort of way to modify them until I get some money saved up?Replies
Absolutely! The Endurance workouts don't use too many weights, but you can always grab some milk gallons or water gallons or something similar to hold onto when doing lower body exercises. And if you are in a bind, just do some body resistance i.e. we are doing triceps extension - you could do dips. Or if we are doing chest flies you could do push-ups. I hope that helps!Delete
Keep listening to your body:)

I recently got the Pretty Fierce Lean Out dvds and now realize that they are too advanced for me at this point. I had my baby 12 months ago via c-section. I am still about 10 pounds more than my pre-pregnancy weight (and even then, I was still about 15 pounds more than I should have been). My stoach is terribly flabby and my core is weak in general. I need to lose about 25 pounds and improve my overall strength. Where would be a good place to start and how often should I be doing these workouts per week?Replies
HI there! Let's do this...start you with Postnatal Slimdown. It will get your core integrity back on track. Just email Jess at email@example.com and tell her to send you a free coupon code for the Postnatal SlimDown downloads (as long as you have an Apple, Google and Amazon device).Delete
Use the calendar that comes with Postnatal SlimDown, probably the advanced calendar.

Hi lindsey! I am 6 weeks postpartum with my third baby. I had been training at the gym last jan and had to have back surgery for herniated disc in march.

I had no back pain with pregnancy (I did swim up until about 5 months preggo) but now I'm starting to have some lower back pain from lifting carseat and bending. I know I desperately need to work my core and back. I ordered your postnatal Slimdown. Will that one help strengthen and lose? I have 10lbs to lose still mainly being the saggy stomach skin.

Kindly advice if it is OK to exercise every day or I should alternate and what body parts how often in order to get a lean body. Thank you so much!
I purchased Pretty Fierce weight loss in the spring of 2013. I became pregnant and it was moved to the back burner. Now I'm ready to tackle the pounds and cannot find any of the workout calendars or meal plans. Is there anywhere I can find that information?ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Erin - you can sign up for the calendars at www.momsintofitness.com/fierceDelete
Hi Lindsay, I am in Week 3 of Pretty Fierce Weight Loss. Love the variation, never get bored and it's so motivating. I've lost 5 lbs so far on this program. I feel stronger and more in shape than I have in years. Yay! Found you looking for workouts on YouTube and you were the answer to my prayers!! I have been struggling to lose weight since the birth of our 5th child over two years ago and started a Weight Loss Challenge 6 weeks ago with some other women and the desire to be fit, healthy and strong has grown so much. My eating has changed and now my body won't allow me to not workout...except for last night. Kids started back to school this week and husband has been out of town...needless to say I fell asleep on the couch last night waiting for my workout to load! HaHa! So, my question is what workout should I do today and then moving forward??ReplyDelete
Thank you Lindsay for blessing us Moms with your wisdom and encouragement!!
P.S. My husband and I also did IVF! Triplets, then a single and the same as you, God decided we needed one more and got pregnant with no help! Huge surprise!!

If you're seeking to achieve business growth and expansion, it's likely you'll look to leverage the passion and talent of your employees. This might mean looking to your star performers, and it might mean looking for new hires.
The ultimate goal is to create autonomy within your workforce – you're seeking to create a capability that works as if you were controlling it but with little need for your input. Think about that for a moment.
When autonomy is reached, you are free to turn your attention to higher level strategic matters which promote growth and expansion.
What is an autonomous workforce?
Leadership development experts Ken Blanchard and Scott Blanchard used research from the University of Rochester to conclude that employees who are autonomous, feel more related to their companies and products. As a direct result, they achieve competence and tend to stay with their companies.
"In today's organizational setting, people want the ability to freely pursue and excel at the job they have been hired to do. The most important things employees are looking for now are the resources, tools, and means to work independently and to show their managers how competent they are."
The thing is, these feelings can only be nurtured, not demanded, and every employee will tune his or her priorities to their own needs. You have to make tools available for personal development without controlling the outcome.
Many businesses are failing to understand this fundamental shift in the psychology of their workers. According to the results of the 2015 American Working Conditions Survey, over 55% of U.S. workers say they work in "unpleasant and potentially hazardous" conditions.
About 75% say at least a quarter of their time at work is spent carrying out "intense or repetitive" physical labor, and around 20% say they face work under hostile conditions, which include sexual harassment reported by many young women and reports of bullying by younger men.
It's not a pretty picture but there is a strong suite of tools available to start the journey towards an autonomous workforce. If harnessed effectively, these tools can be a genuine business asset.
Reaching autonomy calls for change
Now, arriving at autonomy doesn't happen overnight. It's an iterative process, and the way you handle it will determine how quickly you're able to achieve it.
It will call for a change to your business – and change of this nature is difficult for people; that is, everyone who directly and indirectly has a role in your business. It upsets their equilibrium and gives rise to their fears.
Their status quo will change and they'll need to understand how it will affect them and why you are making this change. Conveying the right message to everyone is therefore critical. Your message will set the framework that everyone can use to adjust to the new reality.
Be a guide
If you're clear about your aspirations to achieve autonomy, your people will reach it quicker. Your personal role is to teach, guide and encourage, to provide them with the wisdom of your experience.
Don't do it for them – empower them to achieve it themselves. As time moves forward, if you're doing things right, you'll be able to withdraw gradually until you, and they, realise autonomy has been reached.
Sounds like smooth sailing, doesn't it? In most cases it won't be, as change generates friction from many sources.
Be prepared to fight friction
It's very common for people, or groups, who fear they are losing some type of control, or perceived status, to sabotage the improvement you seek to make.
It may be a peer that assumed they would be the chosen one, or a zealous HR person who is stuck in the past and cannot adjust to the way your business and its environment is evolving.
Wherever the friction emanates from, you can answer it by re-affirming your message to the people causing it and, most importantly, to the people you are empowering. Perseverance and commitment to strive for the autonomy you seek will lead to success.
Set some boundaries
While giving employees freedom is vital to the development of an empowered and autonomous workforce, setting boundaries is also an essential part of the process. A highly empowered workforces can knock down the biggest of barriers and achieve amazing outcomes, but directing that energy in the right way is also essential.
If you empower people by setting them loose without any direction, they can lose momentum and focus - or, even worse, they can make costly mistakes or put a project at risk.
Blanchard believes the key to setting boundaries is to ensure people know the areas where they can be autonomous and responsible rather than focusing on things they are not permitted to do.
"Boundaries are based on each person's skill level and are meant to help the person understand how their goals align with the overall vision and goals of the organization. Helping people see how their work fits into the big picture allows them to become peak performers."
It is also important for managers to explain the decision making process in an empowered culture. Some people think being empowered means they get to make all the decisions. They could be disappointed when the manager continues to make strategic decisions and leaves only some operational decisions to them. And they might hesitate to make decisions at all when they realise they will be held accountable for the results—both good and bad.
Turn your structure upside down
Building an autonomous workforce may require a comprehensive rethink on the way your structure your business. If you are like many business you think about your business as a pyramid with a president at the top, senior managers under them and middle managers under them and workers at the bottom.
An empowered workforce allows you to throw this thinking out the window and literally turn your organisational structure upside down. Why do you need a hierarchy when employees know and understand their role and are determined to achieve individual success that is aligned with overall business success?
Instead it might be time to start thinking about your business as an inverted pyramid with your customers at the top, being supported by your workforce and your senior managers at the bottom providing support and guidance.
Ultimately as a manager your goal is to sit back and try to see the big picture and steer your way to success. With an empowered and autonomous workforce under the hood driving the motor, you will be more free to tackle your own challenges.

The goal of investing is to make money, so it's natural to pursue investments that offer the greatest possible return. Return on investment, or ROI, is a commonly used profitability ratio that measures the amount of return, or profit, an investment generates relative to its cost. ROI is expressed as a percentage and is extremely useful in evaluating individual investments or competing investment opportunities.
Calculating ROI
To calculate ROI, the profit (return) from an investment is divided by the cost of that investment, as shown in the following formula:
ROI = (gain from investment – cost of investment) / cost of investment
The result is then presented as a ratio or percentage.
Let's say you invest $2,000 in Company X's stock and sell your shares a year later for $3,000. To calculate your return on investment, you'd take your profit ($3,000 – $2,000 = $1,000) and divide it by your total investment cost ($2,000) to arrive at an ROI of 50%.
Uses of ROI
ROI is a helpful tool for comparing different investment opportunities. Companies also use projected ROI to determine which projects or initiatives to pursue based on their potential profitability.
Let's say you come into some money and are trying to choose a company to invest in. If you look at your portfolio and see that Company X gave you a return on investment of 50% but Company Y gave you an ROI of 60%, you may be more inclined to go with Company Y. In this regard, ROI is a strong measure of how efficient an investment is at generating profits.
Limitations of ROI
While looking at ROI is a great way to compare investment opportunities, ROI does not factor risk into the equation, especially in situations where ROI is calculated based on projected returns and not actual returns. In other words, ROI is a good way to measure what you potentially have to gain from an investment, but it doesn't necessarily tell you what you have to lose.
It's generally the case that the higher the return on investment, the more risk there is involved. Stocks, for example, have historically offered a higher return on investment than bonds, but they're also assumed to be more risky. Similarly, companies with lower credit ratings typically need to offer higher interest rates when issuing bonds than those with better credit ratings to compensate their investors for taking on added risk.
Let's say you decide to buy bonds issued by a company with a lower credit rating because those bonds offer a higher return on investment. While you might make more money from that investment than by buying bonds from a company with a higher credit rating and lower interest rate, buying the poorly rated company's bonds isn't necessarily the smarter investment decision -- because if that company defaults, you won't see those interest payments, and you won't actually realize that return.
In addition, the traditional formula for calculating ROI does not account for the amount of time an investment is held, which can impact its ultimate profitability. Furthermore, when used by companies in deciding whether to pursue projects, ROI doesn't account for the non-financial benefits involved. Project A, for example, might generate a higher return on investment than Project B, but Project B might also work wonders for a company's reputation -- a benefit that can't be measured financially. That's why ROI, though helpful in its own right, is just one calculation to consider when evaluating investment opportunities.

My family have been big fans of Disney World for over 20 years but their price gouging is out of control.
Here is an excerpt from the article:
Annual pass prices also rose significantly, with regular, signature, and "Signature Plus" passes going for $729, $999 and $1,149 respectively, up from $619, $849 and $1,049, the L.A. Times added.
Over at Disney World, peak tickets for the Magic Kingdom will now cost $123 and $129 per child or adult, respectively. "Regular" and "value" tickets will also cost more, putting the price of a "regular" ticket at $113 per child and $119 per adult (a $4 increase in both cases), and the price of a "value" ticket at $103 and $109 respectively.
It is insane for a family of 4 to have to pay around 500.00 to simply walk in the gate for a one day pass…
You can get Multiple Day "Park Hopper" passes but the savings is not that great.
Florida Residents get a decent rate but for else they are breaking it off….
I can afford it, but out of principle I am out…

Dear Reader,
First of all, sorry for not posting last night! It has been an insane night, ending with me stressing over the fact that J. Dennis Hastert was indicted for a hush money scheme, in a story that ended up on the front pages of major newspaper sites.
I guess, because Denny Hastert is closely affiliated with Wheaton, I should probably do a story on him. More details to follow.
Anyways! Today was a good day, even though it got stressful towards the end. In the morning, we polished our stories pulled from the Associated Press' website. The beast is hungry, even in the morning.
During lunch, we heard from Susan Olasky, who has been sitting quietly in the back of the classroom nearly everyday. We didn't know that she was probably the most epic person in the room.
Susan Olasky wrote an investigative piece on the International Bible Society, which was secretly going to make the NIV Bible completely gender-inclusive. The basic problem with that is that World believes that people shouldn't change the Bible for ideological reasons.
Well, Susan broke the story about it and got in a whole PR mess, which culminated in ethics charges against World. In the process, she was also named one of the year's most influential Christians.
It takes a lot of courage to do what Susan did, and I really respect her for that. She stood up for something that she really believed in, and wasn't afraid to uncover unfairness, even when Zondervan, the publisher of the NIV, was one of their major advertisers. Zondervan withdrew all its advertisements from World magazine. More respect.
The result was impressive. You can read about it online, so I'll move on to what happened after lunch.
Here's what we did.
Not sure if you can see it, but that paper is my book review. And I'm pretty sure my paper got marked up the most out of all the students. I learned a lot about book reviewing, and that is something that I think I can bring to The Record next year.
We ended the day in a park, listening to Lee Pitts' stories from when he was embedded in Iraq. I don't think that I'd ever be able to do the things he did.
The staff here at WJI is incredible.
