    Sun damage removal?

    I've had photo facial laser done along with microderm abrasion! It is expensive but definitely works. They use a cooling wand that blows cool air on your face, and the gel is cook, so it really wasn't bad. I'm very pain tolerant though. It will lift and get rid of the brown age spots, and helps...

    **40 & Over Check-In Week 6/29**

    Hope everyone is enjoying the weekend! I slept a few hours yesterday after I got off work, then did BodyMax 2. I kinda stumbled through parts of it, as I was still sleepy, but all in all had a good workout and felt drained afterwards! DH fixed dinner and we had an early night. I'm early...

    **40 & Over Check-In Week 6/29**

    Hi all. I have not had a good week. The past 2 days my alarm did not go off correctly (old old clock) and I got up late and raced to work. Today they put me on call, then as I got ready to go to a spinning class at the gym with DH they called me because they had an open heart case and I'm the...

    Save for a rainy day, or live like there's no tomorrow?

    RE: Save for a rainy day, or live like there's no tomor... I loved your post! As a critical care nurse I have talked with many a patient or family who said they worked their assess off for years to have money to retire, travel, etc. and then come down with an illness/health problem which...

    ~~~ the 40's and over Check in~~~

    Tina, I simply cut out all alcohol. Not only did that get rid of a lot of empty calories, but I was less tired. Also found I tend to eat less when I'm not having wine with my meal, or alcohol at parties. As I got older I never thought about all the "empty" calories I consumed that my body...

    ~~~ the 40's and over Check in~~~

    Andrea, I always worked days up until Feb. The shortage at night is so great and it pays a bit more, so I thought "what the heck?" I'll stay on nights until next summer (when I finish my BSN) and then probably go back to days. I actually sleep great during the day, and have no trouble turning...

    ~~~ the 40's and over Check in~~~

    Hi ladies! I've been a Cathe follower since 2003 and just turned 44 this month. I too have had a harder time losing and maintaining the weight loss - especially around the middle - and would like to join the check in. I get depressed sometimes looking at younger women who don't do nearly the...

    Question for runners re: shoes & socks

    I started buying Wright running socks (bought at our local running store) on my sister's advice. I trained and ran 2 marathons, and 1 half marathon with these socks. They are thin with a double layer and I have never had 1 blister. I do have fairly normal feet, width etc. though. I went from...

    butts & gutts

    Before I had the Gym Styles I used Pyramid Upper Body to complement Butts and Gutts. I still use it when I want a total upper body workout and don't have time to spend on the Gym Styles. I do love the Gymn Styles, but Pyramid Upper gives me a great workout for the whole upper body when I'm...

    wine and addiction

    I started with wine in the evenings to help me relax and get to sleep, 10 years ago!! I eventually got to the stage of severe depression, and the inability to stop drinking. I would promise myself in the morning I would not drink, but that evening there I would sit with my glass of wine, which...

    20 YEARS OF SOBRIETY!

    RE: WOW!! Thanks, everyone! Thanks for sharing your story of strength and hope. I am just coming up on 3 months of sobriety. It was a hard struggle for me to admit to myself, but at 42 my life was unmanageable, and depression was becoming a constant. Alcohol kept that vicious cycle going over...

    Advice from runners on how to start a program...

    I've purchased some good books on running from Amazon.com. One I recently read was "Women's Running". I really enjoyed it. I agree with the info already posted here about not doing too much too fast. I ran my first marathon last year, and am in training for my 2nd now. Look for...
