Lisa-
The boys are scared of us! ha ha Maybe it was the stuff about their driving.

I see a chiro, too. I think you should cut out pictures of older women lifting weights and show him. My husband buys me "Muscle and Fitness" magazine from time to time. There was an article once, showing women lifters in their 20's.30's, 40's and 50's. The woman in her 50's was goregous. Maybe your chiro is a little out of touch on this topic.

And while I'm thinking of it, your chiro might be familiar with this area. We have the Palmer College of Chiropractic here where most of the chiros are churned out.

I feel for you re: TOM. It is so difficult!! I've heard that taking large doses of glutamine help but I didn't see that it did. I just figure I'm going to put on a pound or two at that time and shed it later. But those cravings are killer. Maybe THAT'S why it's called a curse!

Are you cooking Thanksgiving yourself? I'm thinking appetizers might be the best thing - cheese, meat, deviled eggs, those pickles rolled up in cream cheese and ham.....
