Yep, stress definately makes my anxiety resurface. For me, I have to use positive self-talk, get my perspective square, stop obsessing over things I can't change (that's hard for me). I take Paxil for it but sometimes even that doesn't rid me of the problem. Exercise does help me work through...

I liked mine until it started leaking from the bottom and into the part where the motor is - so I couldn't clean it. The spills started to stink inside there, so I finally pitched it. It was rank! Unfortunately I hadn't saved my receipt so I was stuck - so save your receipt if you buy one...

Mine is listed a little lighter than it is. Don't tell!:7

I love antiques and collect blue and white swirl granite wear. My kitchen is full of blue and white granite bowls and coffee pots and roasters, etc. Part of the fun is the search and finding pieces in different parts of the country. I also collect Pearl Buck books - my favorite author.

I made (and ate!) rhubarb pie. It's the official food of summer for me! Soooooo good!:9

I know that doing cardio keeps my heart rate up constant for a longer period of time but some of the weights workouts are pretty intense for me. I did Muscle Endurance last night and my heart rate was up there because Cathe moves through each body part with no rest in between. I had to stop a...

Wow, Barb! You look awesome! I am so impressed. Welcome to the forum!:-)

I gauge it by the "pinch an inch" test. You can tell whether you're pinching flesh or fat -if it's over an inch it's fat I think. (unfortunately, in some spots I can pinch over an inch!) x(

Okay, Italy sounds fun too. (I'm SOOO jealous!!)

Hi Lorrie - I'd be straight with her. Tell her they're not something you lend out because you USE them and each is a part of your rotations. Your workout DVDs are not like a library of books that you might read once and put back on the shelf for storage, right? Don't feel selfish for wanting...

I get to help my hubbie shingle a shed. Wooohooo! Can't wait. x(

I love to watch Cedie "dance"! She's just so good on that step!

I stick to either Cheerios or oatmeal. Everything else has so many calories! ;(

<I dumped ammonia (full strength) down their holes. It worked!> Will the ammonia kill plants in the flowerbed? I have a serious mole problem too and my lovely flowerbeds are suffering. I feel like the guy in "Caddyshack" hunting the gophers on the golfcourse. It's me against the mole at my...

I experience this now and then too. It's the same burning I get when I'm doing a "walkathon" type thing, when my feet are feeling the friction after a period of pounding. I blame the flooring I work out on - it's my concrete basement floor with a pad and rug over it, but it's still "hard". My...

Fun thread...this is a topic everyone thinks about now and then I'm sure. One day I wondered about the guy who was in my backyard cleaning out our septic system and I wondered "what makes a person decide to start a septic tank cleaning business????" (The worst part...the business' name is...

My husband is rarely in the room when I'm working out but he always manages to catch Cathe's phrases like "keep on jacking" or something with "straddle" in it. He has a one-track mind even at his age. ;)

Sally - Oh I feel your pain! My co-worker and I were laughing (sort of) one day because we feel like we have "Grandma" butts. ;( Clothes just don't fit the same or look the same and we want our bodies back! I still feel like we'll be happier with our aging bodies if we keep doing our cardio...

My best suggestion for preventing blisters - change your shoes now and then. Don't walk the whole thing in the same pair. Each pair has its own pressure points so changing it up a little is good for your feet. Works for me when I do these kinds of events.
