    Gray Hair?

    Got my first grey hair at 22! It's been creeping up ever since then, slowly but steadily. I hope I'm more like my dad (85, still has mostly jet black hair), than my mom, who was salt and pepper by her 50s. Grey is definitely more noticeable when you have dark hair. x(

    What is your perfume?

    Tiny bit of Chanel #5, which I got as a surprise from my BF at Christmas this year. I use no more than two dabs, otherwise I sneeze all day and it's overpowering. I also love Bluegrass, which I think is from Elizabeth Arden--my mom used to wear it all the time, so it makes me think of her.

    Aging Gracefully ??

    I have to agree with Aquajock. I'm 46, nearly 47, and I am looking forward to turning 50, actually. I want to prove (to myself, perhaps) that you can be middleaged and fit and energetic. I have a lot more self-confidence now than I did when I was in my 20s and 30s, and I like to think (at least)...

    How much cardio is enough?

    I've heard those numbers before, too--I wonder if they take into account lifting weights, and how that might work with cardio to help you lose weight? Sorry--wish I could be more helpful instead of just adding to the question!

    Why do YOU do Cathe's workouts?

    One reason: Results! I have muscles and definition like nothing I've ever gotten from any workout program or gym I've ever tried before. (No, I don't look like Cathe or half of the women here, but I look great for me.) 2. I don't have to pay megabucks to go to a gym and wait for the weight...

    Mmmmm... just made an apple pie. Do you like it...

    Traditional!! Pies, especially fruit pies, and ESPECIALLY apple pie (and pumpkin pie!) are my downfall. :+ :P PS. I will be right over to save you from all those apple pie calories!

    Skin care line?

    I hope so, Nancy! It sounds really frustrating.

    Skin care line?

    I can't use powder eyeshadow--it makes my eyelids start peeling. Can't use the supposedly hypoallergenic brands, either. I can do creams, though. My mom had the same problem.

    Bad posture!

    It's funny you posted this today--I was considering starting a thread on posture! I've been noticing other people's posture lately, too because I've been making an effort to improve mine. Working out with weights has really made me more conscious of not rolling my shoulders--but I struggle with...

    Weekend Plans

    Heh..40 degrees isn't bone chilling cold! Actually, we had a really mild winter here--only about two snowstorms and lots of days in the 30s and 40s. When we finally got snow and below-zero temps and wind chills I realized how much I just dreaded living through winter here. So I am seriously...

    Skin care line?

    Just wanted to pop in to say be careful with the alpha hydroxy if your skin is dry and peeling--it could easily make it worse. Do you have a allergies? It almost sounds like that type of reaction--I have mild eczema and also some other allergic skin reactions, and it sounds like some of what you...

    Weekend Plans

    It was great and I'm not giving it back! }( Actually, I'm trying to think of something to do tonight that doesn't involve greasy food at a restaurant--just so I can get out a bit in the 66 degree temp at 7:30 p.m. :+ Seriously, I need to move to the tropics somewhere. I decided this year...

    Weekend Plans

    I'm getting a massage tomorrow! First time ever! And I'm going to enjoy the tropical (ok, 60) weather. It was up to 73 today in NYC.

    Are you a squirmer, a fidgeter, or a doodler?

    Squirmer. Hate sitting for long stretches at a time, so I constantly switch positions. If the chair rocks at all or swivels from side to side, I do that. A lot of times I wind up standing during meetings because I just can't sit anymore. Even had to do this with a client once because my back was...

    Any Silly Song fans?

    Yes, Melody, I feel very normal now! :) I had heard of the Veggie Rocks CD but didn't know if it was as good. Am thinking of adding a Veggie screensaver with sounds to my work computer!

    If YOU Picked Out The Oscars . . .

    Wow, I think I saw two movies this entire year. Harry Potter and Memoirs of a Geisha. Wasn't particularly impressed with either one, though Geisha was gorgeous. I did buy Wallace and Gromit on DVD, though, and we watch a ton of movies from Netflicks, but mostly foreign films and scifi. Most of...
