Thank you, Denise! This looks great - she's got everybody. Stebby

Clare, who is Mary? If she is a fitness video provider I would be very interested in checking out her site. Would you mind posting a link? Stebby

Jen, this is hilarious. My parents actually did buy me a typewriter for my 15th birthday in 1976, and I was absolutely thrilled! (An IBM Selectric.) Best present ever. I used it to type up my assignments for school and became a great touch typist. That typewriter is still in my parents'...

Hi Candice - I agree with the others that it is time for new shoes! And when you get those, maybe do a little experiment to see if the socks are still a problem. One thing I would suggest when you buy your shoes, is to go to a store where the salespeople are experts in fitting you with shoes...

You did it again. More explanations that sound like defensiveness. I get what happened, but I'm no closer to signing up for the service! Stebby

If I were gypsymom, I would be pretty frustrated with this response. Gypsymom brought up some valid points and even suggested how she would have preferred to see this situation handled (i.e. an e-mail to all subscribing customers). She was not looking for an explanation (or what sounded to me...

And what better way to lurk? :D :D Stebby

Remember me? Remember me, huh, huh? Stebby (older, wiser and generally improved version)

As luck would have it I already have Dixie cups (got them for Cathe workouts :)). I will try that. I have done 2 sets of stretches today - each 3 minutes straight leg calf stretch + 3 minutes bent leg calf stretch - and 2 sets of icing. The stretching was horrible for the first 2 minutes...

Thanks, Lisa. Did you buy the sleeve at a regular pharmacy, or did you need to go to a specialty store for it? Stebby

Thanks, ATC1986. Great advice. I did not get any inserts/orthotics for my shoes, although my physiotherapist said she would like to look at orthotics for me (she is an orthotics specialist also) once my inflammation has settled. I also haven't been stretching as long as 3 minutes per stretch...

Get better quick! Injuries suck but sometimes they seem to be a fact of life for dedicated Cathletes! Stebby

I hurt my Achilles tendon at the end of February doing Karate. I was diagnosed with Achilles tendinopathy, which I understand is the more current name for Achilles tendinitis. I am icing it 2X per day, stretching it at least 1X per day, and seeing a physiotherapist 1X per week (reduced from 2X...

How about doing a few sets of plié/sumo squats instead? Probably better results (closed chain body weight exercise) and you don't need to buy any equipment. If you need to be discreet, a thigh master might be helpful, but I'm not sure how good the results will be. I used to use the thigh...

Love her arms at the end! Stebby

Well, Melagras, it's people like you and me who keep reading stuff about her, who are keeping her famous! We just have to cut it out! :D :D She is nothing like any of those talented actresses. She is just a base, crass wannabe. (But a rich wannabe! Fascinating and horrifying at the same...

Me too, Shereta. In my case, it's almost like having a hangover. I am trying to cut out the sweets and sweeteners but I struggle some days. I had some chocolate last night as a "special treat" and woke up tired, muddy-headed and a bit shaky. Stebby

Oh no!!!! Stebby

I've read all three books and have seen the first two movies. Got the books for my 11-yo DD but I ended up enjoying them just as much as she did. Stebby

How about getting a body composition test done now, and when you turn 50? After all the work you are going to put in to accomplish all those tough goals, your body composition will change for the better. Record your weight, measurements, % body fat, and figure out your lean body mass, now and...
