About Me
I'm an elementary school teacher. I love movies. I have a cat I love almost as much as my 2 best friends who I love more. We're all going to lose weight together (cat too) to get healthy and stop hating the way we look.

KittyKatt replied to the topic are vitamin d supplements working for me? in the forum Supplements Reviews 5 days, 20 hours ago
I agree, I think a blood test is the only way. I know I took them for a few days a while back and started feeling more energized, but that might have just been a placebo effect.

KittyKatt replied to the topic why is matcha healthy? in the forum Health Forums 1 week, 6 days ago
Thanks @Anne
I didn’t know that about matcha. I didn’t even really know what it was. Does it have to be boiled to be good for you or can you really just toss it into smoothies?
It’s so expensive I don’t want to use it wrong.

I’ve been having a stiff neck when I wake up. Maybe I should try your technique and see if it helps! Thanks for sharing this. I’ll let you know.

I think it’s easier to float in a salt water pool. Also, I think they’re equally clean (or equally gross, depending on how you want to see it).

KittyKatt replied to the topic Is slowly walking 20,000 steps as good as moderately walking 10,000? in the forum Activity Forums 1 month, 1 week ago
Thanks! I was hoping it would be more stragihtforward than that. I guess what you say makes sense. Everything seems to be a balance with exercise and diet.

KittyKatt replied to the topic Weight not coming off where I need it in the forum Weight Loss and Exercise 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Keep going! You’ve lost the weight, now your body is going to shift where the fat is stored and where the muscle is toned. It’s called a shift in body composition and it’s really common. Keep it up! Congrats on getting this far!

KittyKatt started the topic Is slowly walking 20,000 steps as good as moderately walking 10,000? in the forum Activity Forums 1 month, 3 weeks ago
I get that if you do your 10k steps per day and you never really moved around more than a shuffle, it’s not really what they mean by being active. But what if you do that a ton? Like if you’re pretty much on your feet all day, walking slowly around? Does it count as exercise out of sheer quantity even if you didn’t really get your heart p…[Read more]

KittyKatt replied to the topic caffeine healthy or not in the forum Health Forums 2 months, 1 week ago
I hope things work out for you. That’s pretty much it. Everything has pros and cons. It’s just a matter of what pros you want and if the cons are worth it 🙂

KittyKatt replied to the topic anyone try a Gaia membership in the forum Gear Reviews 2 months, 2 weeks ago
I haven’t tried it but I’ve been thinking about it, too. The membership looks good. I think as long as you can cancel it at any time, it wouldn’t hurt to try it out. I’ll need to look into whether or not that’s possible and if people say it’s tough to cancel even if it’s allowed. I hope it’s good!

KittyKatt replied to the topic caffeine healthy or not in the forum Health Forums 2 months, 3 weeks ago
I think they’re the same. It’s just if you want energy or not. THere are benefits to the added caffeine. If you are sensitive to it, there are disadvantages, too. I say drink the one you like. YOu’ll get the same health stuff from it.

KittyKatt replied to the topic snacks to refuel in the forum Supplements Reviews 3 months ago
Have you seen those little manuka honey packets they have that you just fold in half and they snap and you squish the honey out? They give you instant blood sugar and energy with a lot of other healthy components. I love them when I travel. I think they’re from Wedderspoon but I might have the spelling wrong. They’d probably work well for you s…[Read more]

Diet Emergency 3 months, 1 week agoI think I’m dehydrated in the summer. It’s making me bloated so it looks like I’m gaining, not losing. I really don’t think Im’ gaining fat, just water. Do I just keep drinking more? Is there something else I should do?

KittyKatt replied to the topic barefoot running? in the forum Running Forum 3 months, 1 week ago
I think it’s a personal preference if they’re good for running. I think I would find it hard with my heel hitting asphalt without the additional cushioning, but if you’re running on a softer surface, I bet it would be fine. You’ll need to learn a whole new gait though.

KittyKatt replied to the topic barefoot running? in the forum Running Forum 3 months, 3 weeks ago
I’ve worn mine for a couple of years and love them. I started using them for outdoor yoga. Then I just found they were so comfortable I just wanted to keep using them. I wouldn’t be able to know if they’re for everyone, but I definitely love them in the summer.

KittyKatt replied to the topic rhubarb for health in the forum Health Forums 3 months, 4 weeks ago
Just eat the stalk part and not the leaves. Some people think the leaves are toxic. I don’t know if that’s true, but why risk it?
Rhubarb is high in fiber, vitamin c, vitamin k, manganese, potassium and other vitamins and minerals.
A lot of people think you need to add sugar, but I don’t. I just cook it down in a bit of water in a pan until it’s…[Read more]

KittyKatt replied to the topic Spin class in the forum Cycling Forum 4 months, 1 week ago
I’ve wondered the same thing. Thanks for asking that question. I feel a bit better about looking into them now. I don’t mind getting a good workout, but I don’t want to be the only one in a class who can’t even remotely come close to doing the basics.

KittyKatt replied to the topic Get good information before buying athletic shoes in the forum Health & Fitness Reviews 4 months, 2 weeks ago
I understand your struggle. I’ve had casual/fashion shoes recommended to me for athletic purposes, too. Just because they look like running shoes, it doesn’t mean they have the right features. It would be great if stores would just allow their sales people to say that they don’t know the answer, instead of making something up. It makes me le…[Read more]

Good idea, Penny4T. I wouldn’t have thought of that. I hope it keeps working for you. Can you make the weights heavier as you get stronger?

KittyKatt replied to the topic prescription goggles? in the forum Swimming Forum 5 months ago
Thanks! That’s so fantastic. I’ve found them online, but I can’t figure out what my prescription would be, so I’m going to have to ask my optometrist. This is great. They’re so inexpensive!

KittyKatt replied to the topic running out of drive in the forum Weight Loss and Exercise 5 months, 1 week ago
why don’t you let it earn you stuff. Think of something you want to do – something small, but that you like – and then make a rule that you can’t do it until you’ve done your strength training workout. Make sure that you knwo that you need to do your workout with effort, not just going through the motions. I personally use dessert as mine. If…[Read more]
