Discuss diets and healthy living at the Tincap forum

May 11, 2007 by Tricia

If you’ve been dieting and working towards losing weight, but perhaps having some difficulty because you’re trying to do it all on your own, you might be interested in taking a looking at Tincap’s weight loss program. Tincaps is a peer support community for healthy living.

First and foremost it is a forum. The various sections of the forum discusses the many types of weight loss plans, weight loss supplements and treatments.

Some of the more recent and ongoing discussions are about Isagenix – a cleansing program that helps one to lose weight, Combo diet pills, Chà de Bugre, and Top Crazy diet plans of our times. Some of the “diets” listed in that last discussion are pretty strange!

Within the Healthy Lifestyle forum you’ll find discussions about diet programs, exercise, Scams, fads and Rip offs, Articles and knowledgebase, as well as books and magazine articles. The General section contains information about the site, world news related to diet and health, and the Classifieds where you can find exercise related DVDs and tapes for sale, as well as books and various diet and health related equipment.

I think these forums would be great for people who are considering starting a diet and or exercise program who’d like to check out the various types of diets available. You know to see what really works, and what in the end has turned out to be a scam, waste of money and or not work at all.

Those who have tried many of the diet fads and weight loss treatments would make great members for this forum as well as they could discuss the pros and cons of the diets they’ve tried.

I also believe that this forum would be a great place to talk to others in order to help get motivated or re-motivated about your weight loss goals.

Membership is free. So, if you are trying to lose weight and or attempting to work on a healthier lifestyle why not check out the Tincap forum? You many learn a lot, and you might be able to help other members as well.

Shame that I should even have to ask …

May 11, 2007 by Tricia

Question for you …

Some of you have been reading this site and many of my others pretty much since day one. I’ve developed friendships with several of you, and have exchanged email and comments with many many more. I’ve worked on some of your websites, developed business relationships with a few of you and have even gotten to know some of the people that advertise on this and my other sites.

Have I ever come across to you – either on this site or any of my others, via email or comments as:

1. Rude?
2. Crazy?
3. Hard to deal with or unprofessional?

The reason why I’m asking this is because I was called all of these things in an email that I received earlier in the week. Obviously I’ve calmed down about this by now, but curious me still wants to know your opinion. Needless to say, since I don’t recall ever being called any of these things before, I found the email very upsetting.

I will not say who said these things to me. All I’d like is your opinion. Some of you know me quite well, and others only know me by what I write on my sites – either way, if you’ve been reading for a short time I think you should be able to come up with an opinion.

How to make a loving husband more romantic?

May 10, 2007 by Tricia

My husband Chris is an extremely loving and kind man. My husband tells me daily, in fact, often several times each day, how much he loves me. I feel very loved, cherished and treasured. However, if there’s anything lacking I suppose it’s a sense of romance. I mean, being told daily how much someone loves you is romantic, but I’d love to be swept off my feet every now and then. Wouldn’t you?

Chris cooks dinner occasionally, he’ll be nice and water the garden when I’m not feeling well. He’ll even rub my legs or back when they are sore. That’s nice and I’m sure many women don’t get that kind of treatment regularly.

Still, I think I need to perhaps print out a few of these romantic ideas for him. Give him a hint. I’d be thrilled if I woke up one morning and found a romantic note on the pillow beside me.

One of the other romantic ideas that I find appealing is “Ask your wife on a romantic date”. I’d love that. We do go out for dinner from time to time, but we often have friends or family around. It’s rarely just the two of us. I think it would be really quite sweet if he planned a romantic evening at one of my favorite restaurants.

We actually live fairly close to Niagara falls – the lovely Canadian side of course. It’s only about a 1.5 hour drive away. We gone there for day trips, but never to stay overnight. Considering that we never even had a honeymoon because he was just finishing his college course when we got married and I’d just started a new job, going to Niagara Falls for a very late honeymoon or perhaps a wedding anniversary would be an ideal romantic get away for us.

I wonder how I can get some of these ideas into his head without spelling it out for him? Perhaps, you my readers, could drop by his blog and leave hints for him? Hmmm?

Whether he ever does something exceedingly romantic or not – it’s ok. I love him and he loves me and that makes life pretty darn good.

Something fishy going on …

May 10, 2007 by Tricia

I’ve been cooking up a storm this week. On Sunday, well Saturday actually, my husband was talking with one of our friends and he invited him over for dinner on Sunday. Suddenly my husband is going out and buying fish to grill on the barbecue.

My husband really doesn’t eat fish, but our friend does, so I thought that perhaps our friend had suggested grilling fish. Nope. it was my husband.

You see, he’s been with me to several of my appointments with my pain doctor and lately she’s been suggesting that I try a macrobiotic diet because that’s supposed to help with pain. I’m still looking for some good information on macrobiotic diets but I do know that fish can sometimes be a large component of this diet.

I think my husband was thinking of that when he of all people suggested we have fish for dinner. I like fish but I’ve always had trouble getting him to eat it, so I either cook it for myself and cook him something else, or more often, I just don’t cook fish at all.

On Sunday evening we had grilled halibut, steamed asparagus and a tossed salad. We enjoyed the meal so much that on Tuesday night we had grilled lemon pepper catfish, grilled potatoes and veggies, and a tossed salad.

I took photos of our meals as I prepared them, as we cooked them, and right after they were served. I think I’ll write up some posts with the recipes for the fish and my grilled potatoes and veggies. I think some of you will like them.

Great information at the Beautiful Me blog

May 10, 2007 by Tricia

I really like Belisi Fashions “Beautiful Me” blog. The blog just began in January, but it contains a lot of useful information that I’m sure most women would find interesting.

The blog discusses new skin care products and lines, the latest product and beauty related trends, beauty and spa treatments, cosmetic procedures and so on. One of the latest posts discusses products that can give you a fake tan in minutes. Considering that it’s now Spring in many parts of the world I’m sure many women are interested in getting a little color and adding some glow to their skin without the dangers of sun tanning and damage from sunburning. The article is certainly timely.

Business women, stay at home moms and blushing brides to be can all get something out of the Beautiful Me blog. Drop by and see if you can find some useful information.
