Janie, I was 52 back at the end of April and I just finished Cathe's August Bootcamp Rotation. Now I don't run and I don't have all the videos she listed, so I did have to modify there (did more step than I'm used to...hard on my poor right knee!) and I had to cut out some of the add-ons due to...

Do I know you, FirmDancer? LOLOLOLOL!!! Yes, thank you, Cathe, for a great rotation. I really enjoyed both seeing how far and hard I could push myself. And I learned some things about putting together a good rotation and sticking to it. I'm really curious how you're going to torture us in...

Michelle, some folks can't imagine what these things can do. I've seen many hurricanes here in southeastern VA and I have great respect for them. We've ridden them all out, but every year I wonder if this is the year for us...it's not a question of if, but when. We have this big spit of land off...

Katrina will drive gas prices through the ceiling with all those oil rigs having to be evacuated. If the price of a barrel of oil hits $70, our gas prices will top $3 on average...DH is trying to get us gassed up for the week (love the dual tanks on his truck)...

Keeping Catheites and their loved ones in harms way in our prayers...Hopefully you've all gotten out okay...

Dorothy, you hit the nail on the head. It helps to have a similar body type. And even then do you want to work that hard and long and eat that carefully??? I have a body type a lot like Cathe (short, apple, seem to be able to build muscle easily), but I don't aspire to look like Cathe. I know I...

I'm sure I've had some pretty humiliating experiences...in fact, I know I have, but none to top Tallchick's or Shelley's. Both of those are really pretty bad. And that 17 year old idiot Shelley invited to her party was a real loser. A mean loser.

Nancy, I agree that the doctor who talked to you as a teen was very out of line. And I agree that Dr. Bennett could have given some better reasons for this woman to lose the weight. Your stepson's experience was a great example of how to handle it. But we're not talking about a teenager who...

Okay, send Dr. Bennet to classes to learn how to tell his obese patients who don't want to hear the bad news and expect him to keep them healthy anyway and do it with kindness, tact, and above all else...DO NOT OFFEND THEM!!! I'm sorry, but I've been in that woman's shoes and I totally hope...

What am I most grateful for at THIS time of year? Air conditioning (I'm from NorthCentral Washington State, as we call it, and while it can get to over 100 degrees in Aug., it's very dry and doesn't last:), now I'm in SE VA!) Homegrown tomatoes and other vegetables Our grapes Kids still...

Oh my goodness, isn't this so darn true!!! But so funny!!!! Thanks for the laugh, Nancy!!!

Our older DD got her belly button pierced (she was over 18 and on her own) and had trouble with it...fortunately nothing really serious...still uncomfortable. I just sort of laughed at her discomfort and made comments, nothing much, just enough so she finally removed the ring and let it heal up...

DH and I are vets, he's retired. Thought we'd never make that milestone. I hadn't heard about the ship being under attack, but any more now it just saddens me and seems to wear me down. We and our friends (like Great Britain) are going to have to adjust to a much more dangerous world, for a very...

This is so true...I often rely on that "after they leave the oven" baking to help finish cookies. What has made the difference in the baking in my house was a NEW OVEN!!! (BIL's Christmas present for ME!). A new oven seems to have made all the difference in our cookies and so on coming out so...

Oh, no, I can't afford the water to shower several times a day!!! Fortuntely, I have to be to work really early (6 a.m.). I usually wait til the end of my day to workout and then shower before turning in. But I shower every single day.

The research facility/grad school where DH & I work is undergoing a transformation: two huge new buildings are being built and that means big machines. Among these a huge Caterpillar shovel...we call it T-Rex because that's what it's maw looks like. And what it's done to full-grown trees and two...

I'm here in SE VA and THANK GOD FOR A/C!!! Did some switching around. I didn't want to do KPC right after Bootcamp and then too much back-to-back stepping...so I did Rhythmic Step last night (also it was a late night workout for me as I was helping DH change spark plugs on our Aerostar) and...

I was named for my grandmothers (I'm my parents first:)): So Lydia for my dad's mother, Frances (my middle name) for my mom's mother. Lydia Frances.

Whew, made it. Bootcamp twice!!! I did it!!! It's behind me:) Yes, it takes about 1 hour 5some minutes. Now off to the shower, some last chores, and bedtime:)

Got room for one more??? Hope so:) Another non-runner here (but hopefully that'll change), so I did Step Blast...and really went for it:) Debbie, good luck with the bladder infection.
