Knowledgeable cat-person? Veterinarian? Please help
This is Ralphie. Shes a 16 month old, spayed , domestic short hair. She has stopped eating. In the past 4 days, she may have eaten 1/2 cup of food. She's still playing like mad, indulging in catnip, purring, cuddly...no change in personality or appearance. I know, contact a vet, but just wondering if I can get advice here…

The Grinch Challenge
It's that time of year, The Grinch is on every week on one station or another, and most of us can quote a portion (or all) of it. Last night, as a challenge, I vowed to do 5 reps of squats, lunges, push-ups, crunches, or a 30 second plank...EVERY TIME a Who or the Grinch said the word "Christmas" Success! I'm quite sore…

Zombie Runs...not the app...the real deal :)
http://runforyourlives.com/ Would you try it? I so would, as a runner and as a zombie! The runners have to go through a crazy 5K obstacle course, complete with pools of blood and a litter of 'dead zombies', wearing 'health flags' on their belt, zombies get your flags, you're dead!

Knee Pain

Side stitches when running
Just started C25K, did week 1 day 1 on the treadmill, not too bad. Just finished day 2, outside...much harder! My biggest obstacle is getting awful side stitches, is there a remedy, or a way to prevent them? Or is it just because I'm out of shape, and I have to deal with it? Thanks :)

Pot Luck TOMORROW ...eeep!
OK, I'd like to make a somewhat healthy casserole, that'll taste good at room temperature, and not make anyone sick from being at room temperature for an hour or so... Would like to use potato as a base, and cannot use any seafood, peas, or nuts due to allergies in the group. Any ideas for a potato based casserole?

Or is this guy nuts?

A healthy Lifestyle is completely new to me....
I really want to adapt to a healthy lifestyle, but I'm not sure how to start. The excersise bit, not a problem, as I am the outdoorsy type, but I have never worried about what I eat before. I've always been a 'if it tastes good, eat it' kinda gal, and it's starting to catch up to me.... I just don't know how to form a well…
