Hey everyone, Last week was tough. My daddy died on Tuesday. Now, I'm feeling like an orphan since my Mom died two years ago on the same day. So, to comfort myself I ate alot of mashed potatoes and gravy and drank beer everyday till Saturday. I'm back on track this week with my clean diet and...

You'll LOVE Italy. We spent three weeks between the Dolomite region in northern Italy and Austria and Germany. I would strongly suggest hiking some via ferrata routes. Gorgeous! Of course, some of the routes are considered more dangerous than others and require a harness and a self-belay device...

Dear Cathe, For years I was too self-conscious about joining a gym because I may look too fat, too out-of-shape, too old, too whatever. Well, I finally joined the local gym so that I could have more cardio options when the weather was bad and could also do some heavier leg work on a weekly...

I'm so envious! I hope you have a fabulous time! I'm so glad we have snow today so that I can quit wishing I were in Cabo San Lucus and get my butt in gear and go XC skiing. A great read by the ocean is Anne Morrow Lindbergh's "Gift From the Sea." Travel safe. Amy

Judy, I'll have to check out this website. I must be perceived as not very nice, because I have long, brown, curly hair...naturally curly! People hate it when I tell them that...they want to know where to get a perm just like mine. I've decided not to get my hair cut ever again (at least until...

My mom always used to say, "Happiness is like jam...you can't spread it around without getting some on yourself."

Wow! Great news! Go for the lingerie! Unlike you, my husband is superduper, uberfit, muscle-bound, endurance athlete extraordinaire. I work out for me, but I also work out just so I can keep up with him! And he's 42! I'm 36. He's been my biggest inspiration other than Cathe. As a matter of fact...

I agree with Honeybunch. Some people just seem to have too much time on thier hands and not enough brain cells to put it to good use.

Hi, Amy, I'm also an Amy and I was born in 1965!!!! Of course, I was number 7 of 8 children. My little sister and I were "accidents". My oldest sister would have been 58 this April. My mom always told me it was my two oldest sisters that caused us. Seems as though they were in nursing school in...

Dear Faythe, Hopefully, someone from that area will be able to tell you more than I. But, I am from western PA, but I have family and friends in Harrisburg and York. It's classic PA Dutch or Amish country, so there's plenty of rural areas without getting too far away from civilization. We...

Thanks!

Dear Honeybunch (or should I say "Goddess of the Oven"?), This is question that I would have normally called Mom and asked, but now I have no one I can trust with cooking questions. I'm getting ready for a big Christmas Eve party and I'm doing all the baking. I started making rolls and biscuits...

Dear Cathe, What a beautiful photo! It warms my heart. I hope your holidays are merry and bright. You'll get to see Christmas through the eyes of a child once again. What a gift. Us old folks sometimes forget the excitement and joy associated with season and children can remind us of those...

Dear Cathe, Just a note to say "thanks" for some videos that my husband will actually do with me! We did Interval Max this morning and he likened it to wrestling practice (he went to states and had a scholarship to West Point...thank goodness he hated the haircut and didn't go!. Hope your...

Honey Marnie, I love, love, love our local honey! Right now, I have a gallon and am trying to give some away...wish you lived nearby! This year, it's really dark and stronger tasting...not a bad thing, but a little different! Amy

Hi, I'm not trying to be an alarmist, but after reading your post, I think you should see a doctor. If you are eating right, getting enough cardio and enough weight training, you should be seeing results, not only in your arms, but your stomach. But then again, maybe your perception of your...
