"No one ever messed with the girl."

Being the father of teenage girls has to be an uneasy time. At my workout place, there's a young attorney who has preteen daughters. One day he was working with a lot of gusto on a weight machine, and a woman nearby said to him, "I know why you're working so hard with those heavy weights. You want to be prepared for all the boys that are going to be calling on your pretty daughters." His response: "I don't anticipate that any young men will get past my interview."

Since I don't have snow to shovel and my mowing is limited, I go work out nearly every day. I have an exercise bike here at home but rarely use it. Having a place to go to seems to work better for me .. for consistency as well as the social benefits, particularly for a retiree like me. It's coed (to use an antiquated term), which is great for obvious reasons, and there's the men's locker room for the usual camaraderie with the guys. As for your not having a place to walk safely, a lot of people walk in shopping malls for safety and comfort reasons, but I don't suppose you have anything like that in your small town?

I'm not good at judging women's weights, but I would think that 160 for your height and age would be somewhere near the normal range. I know a 60-year-old woman who is 5'10" .. maybe I could ask her about her weight, but then again maybe I would rather remain friends with her ...<g> I suspect that her age and height is all the personal data that she's going to reveal.

Glucose, glucagon, glycogen, insulin .... I think I'll just stick with the bottom line that protein is great, certain fats are good, nonstarchy vegetables are good, and starchy carbohydrates are bad. What does Power Protein say about fruit? In my blood-sugar testing, I found that eating an apple causes the blood sugar to shoot up, whereas eating an apple and peanutbutter (protein/fat) moderates the elevation. So it's like a lot of things .. balance is important.
