Hi Wendy, First of all, congrats on your success at meeting your goal! Here is a possible scenario for what transpired between the women and their husbands: Wife: (with a bit of envy in her heart) Did you see how thin Wendy was? Husband: (with a desire not to anger his wife in the...

Does no longer alive in Hollywood count? Cary Grant Gregory Peck Alive but not in Hollywood? Russel Crowe Alive and don't care where he is... Denzel There are others but I'll have to think hard about it all day long...! Paula

Kathryn, I think you've given the boards a collective gasp! How awful! Maybe a site or message board that caters to ice skaters or machine shop employees would have some information on dealing with a puncture wound (another gasp!). My dumb story: I once got a large ice cube firmly lodged...

Your DH just wishes he looked soooo good! Paula :-)

Missy, Maybe the "poopie head" name-calling sugggestion I've seen recently would work! Seriously, family vacation time is so wonderful and infrequent that I'd really have to think this one through. It sounds like he could poison the entire trip and hurt your friendship if allowed to be his...

Great tips for you already! I find that with kickboxing, as with weight training, I really need to view what I am doing in a mirror. There is a gap, for me, between how I envision myself moving and how I actually am moving. The mirror helps me get my form to improve until muscle memory begins...

Nancy, What a beautiful story. I am fortunate to have an amazing mom, sister and sister-in-law. It's an embarrassment of riches for me! I would bet everything that if you asked your mom about her greatest accomplishment in that list of accomplishments, she would say that you left off the...

Another vote for these lenses. Both my DDs and I wear contacts and one of my DDs required toric lenses. We got them a month ago and she loves them and notices a tremendous difference. They do cost more, but we just tighten up the budget somewhere else because good eye care/vision is nothing to...

Shelley, You've gotten great responses. I always use CTX to get "back" after a vacation or illness. One more MUST so that you will be motivated to find the $$$: it works you so well that you can eat more cookies! Have fun, Paula

Cathe, Thanks for the update. We can all think of this as another opportunity to learn from Cathe: Cathe takes the proper time and steps to heal and then turns up looking strong and marvelous in a post-injury work out! Take care, Paula

Hi Shaz, I do cardio on alternate days. I have done the one body part per day split with 30 minutes of cardio each day, but I find my knees do better when I give them a rest from cardio. So my best rotation is something like: SH chest and back cardio SH legs and shoulders cardio SH...

Nancy, Of course all or nothing thinking has nothing to do with intelligence. You proved your intelligent in your statement that there are times when SH is verboten to you! Isn't it amazing how that authentic self-assessment takes you in the right direction? It's the follow through that gets...

Kristen, You are right about nuts. But I LOVE them and work them into my eating. Of course, to keep them clean I don't eat sugared or heavily salted ones. I buy them in bulk at my healthy food market and keep them in the freezer rather than the snack cupboard that my family munches out of...

Dear Amy G, I love SH rotations, which is something I didn't expect before I started doing them. I find that a 3 week rotation, along with very CLEAN eating, reveals nice muscle development, and my body looks and feels stronger and tigher. I tend to be a bit hungrier during this type of...

Missy, I love them! The ingredients list will inspire confidence if you haven't already read it. I had the burgers last night and, though I have a big crock pot of healthy soup on for the family tonight, may have them again tonight! Paula
