    Help! My husband is criticizing me

    Ditto, janie1234 I agree. Verbal abuse is just as distructive as physical abuse - I've lived with both in my past.

    Getting turned off

    Ditto, Liann! What a great post, Liann! You have such a way with words! I think of the postage stamps as just a unique way of advertising - if you like 'em, buy 'em, if you don't, then don't!!!

    To count or not to count

    Yes to counting Be it calories, points or whatever, I know it helps from personal experience to be accountable. Then if you gain weight, you can tell why. After awhile, especially if your eating habits are like mine & you tend to eat the same stuff all the time, you don't have to count. I...

    RIP Lena Horne

    Lena Horne & Ed Bradley I have fond memories of the best interview I believe I've ever seen - Ed Bradley with Lena Horne on 60 Minutes in 1982 or 1981 - she was 64 then. Here's a snippet of it (I wish I could find the whole thing - it was a masterpiece!) What a classy broad...

    Follow up to "I DID 75 PULL-UPS!!!"

    Rational behind "not going to failure" I'm going to follow the pointers expressed in the video - I was wondering what the rational is behind not going to failure - anybody care to weigh in? My mistake is not doing that and not doing them often enough.

    Follow up to "I DID 75 PULL-UPS!!!"

    Good video! Pull-ups & pushups - same routine to add to your numbers....do them & do them & do them! Everyone hates them because they are so hard, but they are so worth the effort. Nothing build the upper body like these 2 exercises.

    financial advice

    Dave Ramsey Another vote for Dave Ramsey - being debt free is amazing! I can live on very little & be perfectly happy. I have one credit card that I use because it's a cash rewards card, but I don't keep a balance. I also like Clark Howard.

    What did you give up that helped you lose pounds?

    Gave up nothing! I just eat my goodies one day a week, but TRY to be smart about the form of the goodies I consume....for example, as it suggests in the "Eat this Not That" book, have a Big Mac instead of a Whopper, and I did just that on Friday night! Sweet Potato fries instead of Tater...

    Payroll tax question

    Ask your employer to take out more If you have a tax preparer, have he/she help you figure out how much. There's also an IRS form to help with that, but I can't remember which one it is. It's been a long time since I did payroll.....

    Shout-Out to FitnessFreak366!

    My suggestion.... Chiming in with a suggestion.....do them on an incline with your hands on a step. I teach a boot camp type class, and this is a way to do them so more of the class can participate in this move.

    Help my mom stay on the planet just a bit longer

    Does she want help? I would not even suggest any workouts unless you know she wants help. Suggestions very likely not do any good unless SHE really wants to work out. We all want to help our relatives & friends who don't do what they should to get healthy, but they have to want to help...
