the shoe issue
Why not? An issue that focuses on the shoe? Whether you are into the fashion looks of shoes or just into how comfortable they can be, we will strike a cord
with you this month. We met local women who are leading us forward as well as those who are stepping onto new paths and learning by following in someone else’s footsteps. I feel like our issue barely tiptoed into the shoe arena, and we had dozens of ideas that we didn’t have room for. Shoes symbolize the places we go and goals we reach — our feet take us into new areas and new adventures. We sometimes feel like we step into too large of shoes and have to learn quickly so as not to fall on our face. Or we step into shoes that are unnatural, and we have to find our way. So, we are wishing you beautiful shoes that take you new places.
Even if you fall on your face, you’re still moving forward
~ Victor Kiam
When you have worn out your shoes, the strength of the shoe
leather has passed into the fiber of your body. I measure your health by the number of shoes and hats and clothes you have
worn out. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Funny that a pair of really nice shoes make us feel good in our
heads — at the extreme opposite end of our bodies.
~ Levende Waters
You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You
can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You’re on your own. And you know what
you know. You are the guy who’ll decide where to go.
~ Dr. Seuss

mary sTiversOld SchOOl co-owner of Footworks, inc.
Mary Stivers, 55, co-owner of Footworks, inc., 241 sears avenue
• In the biz: founded the store in 1985
• Her partner in Footworks since 1992: Janice crenshaw
• Website: footworkslouisville.com• Employees: six• Hours: Tuesday-Friday, 10am-6pm;
saturday, 10am-5pm; closed sunday and monday
Footworks carries 15 brands including:• Comfort shoes: Dansko, Merrell• Athletic shoes: Asics, New Balance,
Brooks, Nike, Saucony• Off-road shoe: Montrail
other items in the store:Socks, arch supports, running apparel
costs:In 1978, I worked at Athletic Attic. Then, a $40 shoe was expensive. Now the average price ranges between $80 to $120.
starting point:
4 You want the proper shoe for your foot structure and the type of activity you will wear it for.
4 Have your foot measured. All shoes fit differently, even within the same brand.
4 What activity do you want the shoe for? Running, walking, tennis?
4 What problems are you experiencing? Bunions, hammertoes, Achilles tendonitis, plantar fasciitis?
“We aim to keep people on their feet.”
“If you don’t move, you mold.”
She is energetic and cleverly hired Ce Ce
and Cinders as CFOs (Chief Feline Officers)
of the store.
shoes she wears: Brooks Addiction, maroon and silver, size 11 AA
her exercise routine:I like to have climate-controlled conditions. When it is too hot or too cold, I crank up my 1970s playlist and walk 25 to 45 minutes around the track in the store. You can move and groove to the ‘70s. On nice days, I walk outside. No music. I like to hear the sounds of nature.
old school:When I wanted to start the business in 1985, I couldn’t find a bank that would lend a woman money. My father, Dr. Pat Stivers, who was a podiatrist, lent me the money to open the store. In 2000, we bought the land and designed the building we are in now.
social media:We have a website and Facebook page. I don’t want to do Twitter. Why would I want to give people another excuse to stare at their phones?
changes in shoes:• Lighter-weight materials.• A move from leather to mesh
outer soles that let the foot breathe.
• Better shock absorption in mid-sole materials.
Janice crenshaw’s artwork decorates the store.

“When I need to wear a higher heel, I stick with a wedge heel. It gives me more stability. If I wear a high-heeled dress shoe, I make sure the heel is no more that two
inches higher than the ball of my foot.”Interview by

Dawn Michels, doctor of Podiatric medicine, 39, Podiatrist with Foot & ankle specialists, 4119 Browns Lane, Louisville, and 3020 charlestown crossing, new albany
• Hometown: Bellevue, iowa
• In the biz: since 2004
• Education: Bachelor’s from university of northern iowa, cedar Falls; dr. William m. scholl college of Podiatric medicine at rosalind Franklin university, chicago; three-year residency at university of Louisville.
why you might want to make an appointment:• bunions/hammertoes• heel pain/plantar fasciitis• sports-related injury• custom orthotics• diabetic foot care• wound/infection care
she wears Børn boots, Merrell shoes, Brooks Adrenalin running shoe
If you have flat feet, you are better off wearing a slight heel that helps create an arch. Super flat shoes offer no support and can cause plantar fasciitis, stress fractures, and fallen arches, and they can aggravate arthritis in the foot.
If you wear high heels to work,slide your feet out of them when sitting at your desk. Don’t wear the same pair of shoes every day. Carry a pair of low-heeled shoes and switch out if you have to run errands after work. If you wear them too long, they cause stress on your feet and back.
I like Croc shoes for wearing around the house. They slide on and off easily. But they shouldn’t be
worn when running errands or bike
riding or working in the yard on uneven
surfaces.
summer wear:
Most flip-flops offer no
foot support, stability,
or protection. Look for a
sandal with a stiffer sole
that doesn’t flop. It should
fit securely on your foot.
Teva, Merrell, and Echo make
sensible sandals for women.
Foot strengthening exercises:
4 Lay a towel flat on the floor and grip it with your toes.
4 Balance on one leg. Work up to 30 seconds on each leg.
4 Heel raises. Rise up on your toes, keeping your knees straight and body tall.
“I like it when I can inform people and help them help themselves.”
at work she:• Is in the office three days a week.• Performs surgery two mornings
a week.• Sees an average of 25 patients
a day.• Her youngest patient: 9 months
old• Her oldest patient: 96 years old
For the kids:• Don’t let your kids wear Crocs
or flip-flops on the playground.• Check your child’s shoes often
for wear and fit. Their feet can grow fast. Make sure their shoes fit well and offer support.
• Promote tying their shoes. Loose laces can be dangerous.

SURVIVAL SKILLS
Director of Special Projects for Waterfront Development CorporationmarLene Grissom
Getting Things DoneIf Marlene Grissom continues to work her magic, the
Big Four Bridge in downtown Louisville will be lit up with programmable LED lights like the Bay Bridge in San Francisco. It’s one of many community projects spearheaded through the years by Marlene, a consummate supporter of the arts and development in this city.
“It’s an exciting project,” says Marlene, director of special projects for Waterfront Development Corporation. “Now with LEDs and the price of the lights and maintenance way down, it’s extremely doable. The bridge would be lit up for 20 years
without changing any bulbs.”Marlene is working on raising
$1.8 million from businesses, individuals, corporations, and
foundations to fund lighting the newly-opened pedestrian/bicycle bridge. “It will really draw people to the waterfront — not only local people, but regional people — and will be great for the economy,” she says.
Marlene is also working
on the
celebration of the Belle of Louisville’s 100th birthday in October 2014. “It’s the only working steamboat in the world that is 100 years old,” she says. “We will be getting eight other steamboats from other cities. There will be events, balloon glows, and all kinds of things going on in the park — bourbon tastings, dinner, music. It should be fun.”
Marlene has been an advocate for the arts since coming to Louisville in 1958. She switched from making jewelry to opening one of the first art galleries in the city, then became involved in fundraising for the arts. She currently serves on five boards, including the Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft and Greater Louisville Inc. She’s been on the board of the Fund for the Arts, the Louisville Ballet, the Speed Art Museum, and KET.
“It just kind of happened,” Marlene says. “I was pre-med in college. I took a lot of art courses and became enamored with the arts. I came to Louisville, started making jewelry and sculpting, and started being asked to help with projects. I decided that maybe I would stop doing art and go directly into promoting it. That’s how I started my art career. I decided we needed to open a gallery in Louisville that had things I wanted to see.” With a friend, she opened Swearingen-Byck Gallery, which continued for five years. Then she opened Byck Gallery on her own.
Marlene also collects art and is an appraiser of contemporary works. She and her husband, J. David Grissom, have a collection of black and white vintage photographs.
A mother, grandmother, full-time worker, and volunteer, Marlene shares her survival tips:
Today’s Woman14 MAY 2013
Rule #2:
“Vacations are
very important,
even if it’s just a weekend.
You need to regroup
and get away from the
constant grind.”
Rule #3: You need substantial, fulfilling work you are passionate about. “I have a busy husband, also. He plays golf, and I play tennis. Your life can’t revolve around that. You need other things to make your life fuller. Of course, we have the grandchildren. That’s another wonderful thing that happens as you age. Another thing I do is appraisals, and I’m still involved in finding art for people.”
Rule # 1: “Don’t think about all the things you have to do in one day. Just do them as they come up. That way, you ease into all those projects, and you don’t say, ‘Gosh, look what I have to do today.’ It makes life a lot easier.”
Rule #4: Give back to the community. “I think that’s very important. It
gives me a sense of satisfaction that makes me feel good,
and I hope it makes the community feel good. It is a
responsibility. If you live in a community and have done
well in the community, it’s important to give back.”

The Agenda
2May
Journey of HopeI hope to see you at Maryhurst’s Journey of Hope luncheon. This is one of my favorite events of the year because of the inspiring stories we hear about the abused and neglected young women and men
whose lives have been turned around through Maryhurst. Maryhurst has been helping these children regain their self-worth and independence for more than 170 years and cares for 150 children annually. Many of these residents make items – jewelry, crafts, and paintings – that are sold at the luncheon, so make sure you bring your credit card and get there early to shop. Meet Judy Lambeth, who has led this amazing organization for nearly 25 years, and show your support. The luncheon will be held at the Kentucky International Convention Center. > maryhurst.org
The Derby activities kick off an eventful month in Derby City!
Three of my favorite events that support women in different ways are held in May. Hope to see you at one of them… or all of them!
Women Leading KentuckyOn May 2, I’ll head to Lexington for the annual Women Leading
Kentucky Conference. It’s a must-do every year as organizer Janet Holloway always manages to ramp the list of renowned and remarkable presenters. Liz Cornish will tell us how to use the “first 100 days” of any
new endeavor most effectively. Julie Anixter co-founded Innovation Excellence and will inspire us with her journey to discover innovation. At
lunch, the Martha Layne Collins Award winners will be introduced, including Louisville’s own Vickie Yates Brown, president of Nucleus KY. It’s a day of leadership lessons for women of all ages. The conference is held at
Marriott Griffin Gate and starts at 8:30 a.m., concluding at 2:30 p.m. > womenleadingky.com
May17Go Red for Women
If you bought lots of red clothing to show your support for the
amazing UofL men’s and women’s basketball teams last month
(Woohoo! Go Cards!), you’ve got another chance to wear it. This
year marks the 10th anniversary for the American Heart
Association’s Go Red for Women luncheon. Over the past 10
years, the Go Red movement has brought awareness to heart
disease as the No. 1 killer of women that takes the lives of one in
three women every year. The luncheon is a celebration of women
young and not so young who have survived heart disease. Go
early at 10 a.m. to participate in short seminars about awareness
and prevention. The event has grown to more than 800 who pack
the Kentucky International Convention Center in a sea of red. It
starts at 11:30 a.m. and is over promptly at 1 p.m.
> heart.org/Louisville – under Events.

you’ll have a chance to bid on one of the red dress centerpieces at the Go Red for Women Luncheon.

I was impressed when I heard that a Bloom Elementary fourth grade student, Henry Helmers, had the idea to honor the 26 children killed in newtown, Conn., by planting a garden in their memory. His idea took root and a few months and many partnerships and connections later, Henry joined students from his school and st. agnes, st.

In a spring issue about shoes, I think it’d be remiss not to mention a common toe problem that now has a treatment. I have a friend who had toenail fungus that made her toenails yellow and thick. She wouldn't
dare wear sandals. She is having a laser treatment done at Dr. Fred Preuss' office that has started new, normal toenails growing! A few more treatments and she’ll be able to show her toes without worry. If you are also hiding your toes, I thought you might want to know there is a treatment.

Block Party Boasts Artowner mary Levinsky displays the handmade goods available at her shop.
The latest market-themed boutique, Block Party, is adding yet another specialty outlet to the renova-
tion efforts of Downtown Louisville. Located at 560 S. Fourth St., owner Mary Levinsky says, “It will be a vibrant community space to purchase a variety of handmade goods in one place, as well as learn new crafts and skills in our workshops. I think it is im-portant to have a creative outlet for people to learn something new and socialize at the same time. This is a new opportunity for artists to be more involved in their selling compared to other shops.”
Beginning this month, Block Party will be offering workshops in the store. Artists such as Mickie Winters and Alicia Criswell will be teaching the workshop classes, which will include everything from photography methods to artist professional development. It might seem like a lot going on, but Mary, who first created the Female Art Col-lective in 2007, says, “The variety of products available are the draw of our shop – it will draw in a diverse customer base, creating a vibrant and positive experience.
“Due to the cooperative structure of Block Party, the artists will be working at the shop along with myself, providing an intimate experience to meet the creator of the products you purchase. You can also see artists working in the shared studio space when it’s not in use for workshops.”

Sherry hurley: Owner, Farm to Fork Catering
A&QDo Your Thing
Be Brave
I just tried your chicken salad and I love it!Who knew a chicken salad could be your soul mate?
Sherry hurley, owner of Farm to Fork Catering, grew up in a food-loving Western Kentucky family. her father worked as a salesperson for a food distributor of fresh local and international foods. his job included testing new foods about to come on the market, and Sherry tried them, too. he also took Sherry shopping at foreign grocery stores. “I thought that’s what everyone did,” she says.
Sherry’s tastes were also influenced by the fresh vegetables her mother cooked every night from the family summer garden. Sherry’s daily fare was a unique mix of two worlds, influences which still affects her culinary style today.
What makes your chicken salad so good?I put my love and energy into my food. We use an all-natural, pasture-raised chicken that is roasted, and then the meat is hand-pulled off the bones. We use both the white and dark meat. It’s the dark meat that makes it richer and more flavorful. It’s a lot of work, and therefore more expensive...and more delicious. People would not be willing to pay more for our food if it weren’t more delicious.
At what age did you start cooking?When I was 10 years old, my mother went back to work, so I helped get dinner ready.
What were some of your first jobs in the food industry?My first job was at Belew’s Dairy Barn in Aurora, Ky. During college, I worked at a coffee shop and T.G.I. Friday’s. After that, I worked as a restaurant manager
learning about events, then as a caterer at Woodford Reserve and The Patron. I thought it was way more fun to be in a restaurant than in the “real world.”
Who are your mentors?Tess Krebs and Susan Seiller. Tess is a caterer, and Susan, who once owned Jack Fry’s, now owns relish. I learned a lot from Tess about whole foods and organic foods. She helps me see the big picture: mission, vision, values. Susan gives me good advice and a listening ear.
What are some of your signature dishes?I’m proud of my Southern roots. One of our most popular items is bacon brown sugar biscuits. The bacon is from Stone Cross Farm. When the biscuits are heated up and you get the flavor of bacon in them, there is nothing better! We also have a bourbon vanilla brownie that is pretty great, too.
How do you go about planning a menu for a client?I ask a lot of questions: Who is the client? how do
I perceive them? What is the event? A celebration, ceremony, or business event? Budget? Where? Time of year? I then take that information and start to work. It’s hard to explain to my clients that I feel like I am creating a piece of art. It takes me longer than most caterers to write a proposal.
Where do you begin with the menu?The first thing I do is make a list of what fresh foods are available that time of year. I try to take each of those seasonal ingredients and incorporate each one
into a dish. The ingredients are my palette. I get to work with all these colors and create something.
What do you like to have in a creation?A range of colors, textures, hot and cold, crunchy and smooth.
Give me an example.My spring salad: local spring lettuces, strawberries (colorful), Capriole goat cheese (stark white and smooth), candied pecans (sweet, crunchy, spicy), light balsamic vinaigrette dressing (the tart with the sweet strawberries brings out the flavors more). It’s the best salad for spring.
Are you brave to do your thing?Some people call it brave — I call it crazy! If I had known what being a small business owner really meant, I don’t think I would have done it.
What advice would you give to someone who wants to start her own small business?Start doing research about your passion early. read and take classes, especially business classes. Go to SCORE (a nonprofit agency that helps small businesses get off the ground) for help. you really need to listen to what they say. If you are planning on making a living from your dreams, you’ve got to make sure the numbers work. Save a minimum of six months’ living expenses. Find a mentor who will tell you the good, the bad, and the ugly.
Who is in your support system?I would have given this up if it weren’t for Tess. It’s so scary. The other person I couldn’t do it without is Justin, my boyfriend. he offered me a lot of stability.

Before you know it, it’s time to pick up the kids.
As Jenny Corbin, you spend most afternoons on your laptop at home or at the barn.
At 5 o’clock, the three of you head to the barn to feed the horses and clean the stalls. While you like the idea of sitting down to dinner together every night, it just doesn’t happen.
— then play together for a half hour or so before taking your daughter to preschool and heading to the office.
By 11 a.m., if you are Toki Masubuchi you’re at work. You usually don’t eat breakfast, so you drink a glass of juice, a cup of coffee,
or several glasses of water before jumping right into prepping and cooking. You put on
some of your favorite music and sing along as you chop vegetables.
It’s been hard leaving your 2-and-a-half-year-old daughter in the care of a babysitter to go to work seven days a week at first, but now you have one day off.
On work days, if you are Dr. Gigi Girard you’re up around 6:30 with your 3-and-a-half-year-old daughter and 1-and-a-half-year-old son. You eat breakfast with your kids — oatmeal or eggs for them, and maybe some yogurt for you —
Today’s Woman38 may 2013
If you’re Jenny, you don’t get to sleep in. Deeply rooted in the cattle and equine industry, you’re growing your livestock pharmaceuticals-related company while raising two young sons and helping your husband take care of 50 horses on the farm.
Even when it’s not your turn to get up at 5:30 to feed the horses, you’re up with the baby by 6. After getting the kids ready and dropping off the 6-year-old at school and the baby at childcare, you come back to put on either heels or boots, depending on the day’s agenda.
If you’re needed downtown for a presentation or meeting, you reluctantly dress up and take the extra time with hair and makeup. You’d much rather be in boots and jeans with your hair pulled back—out in the field with the cows and farmers your company is trying to help, or back at the barn working with the horses — but at least your meetings are over lunch at some of the best restaurants in town. You don’t have time to cook, so lunch on other days is from the nearest drive-through or brown-bagged from home.
As Jenny, you spend most afternoons on your laptop at home or at the barn. You try to find time to ride every day, working with the new show horse you’re training. You love being in the saddle, riding, and communicating effectively with the horse. Heaving heavy tack onto an animal that’s taller than you and staying in the saddle through all the twists and turns of the routine also keeps you fit.
Before you know it, it’s time to pick up the kids. At 5 o’clock, the
three of you head to the barn to feed the horses and clean the stalls. While you like the idea of sitting down to dinner together every night, it just doesn’t happen. The horses keep your husband’s schedule unpredictable, so he eats when he can. Your son is happy with something simple from the fridge, and you might eat something later when nursing the baby before bed. Alone with your sleepy baby in a darkened room, these quiet and peaceful moments are the highlight of your day.
In Jenny’s shoes, you put the kids to bed by 9 and try to follow soon after. Morning comes quickly and the baby still wakes you up at night, so you’re ready to call it a day by 10. Some nights, however, unfinished work keeps you up on the laptop later than you’d like. Your business is a 24/7 job.
The flip side of having a flexible schedule and being able to work from anywhere is that you always have to stay connected and available. But you adapt, getting used to having your cell phone within reach, hitting the “mute” button if you have to take a conference call while your baby fusses on your lap, or even keeping your laptop nearby as you nurse.
When work takes you out of town, you take the baby with you, accompanied by your mother or mother-in-law. Knowing he’s safe in the hotel room with Grandma and being able to nurse him even when away from home gives you the peace of mind to focus on your work. For you, attending to the needs of both your children and your business definitely takes a village, and you just feel so lucky and so grateful to have your family to back you up.

If you’re wearing Gigi’s shoes, you thrive on being busy. On work days, you’re up at around 6:30 with your 3-and-a-half-year-old daughter and 1-and-a-half-year-old son. You eat breakfast with your kids — oatmeal or eggs for them, and maybe some yogurt for you — then play together for a half hour or so before taking your daughter to preschool and heading to the office. The work commute is your chance to listen to some fun music and maybe call family and friends to catch up and share a laugh.
You’re in the office by 8:45, and from then on it’s a nonstop whirlwind of activity. When you manage to squeeze in 5 or 10 minutes for lunch, you wolf down either a frozen meal from home or something that a pharmaceutical rep brought in for the office. Being at work means firing on all cylinders, but you don’t mind because you love what you do, and you love interacting with your patients and colleagues, many of whom have become dear friends.
As Gigi, you make it home by 5 o’clock most days. If the weather is nice, the whole family heads outside to ride bikes, play in the backyard, or go for a walk in the park or around the neighborhood. Since you have yet to resolve to get up earlier to work out, these walks are a way for you to get some exercise while spending time together as a family. You love being outdoors, and any time to yourself on your day off often finds you putting on your walking shoes.
Unless you’re on call or out with your husband for your regular date night with friends, you eat dinner with your kids. You don’t consider yourself a great cook, so meals at home are usually something simple. It helps that your husband loves to grill and that the kids look forward to your weekly family night out at local restaurants.
After dinner, you play a little with the kids. Then it’s time for baths, stories, and good nights. A favorite bedtime ritual is “doing compliments” with your daughter as she goes to sleep. Finding daily ways to spend one-on-one time with each of your children is important to you, and this is a special opportunity to talk together about the good things that happened during your day and to appreciate the people in your lives. You look forward to also doing this with your son when he gets a little older.
If you’re Gigi, you try to unwind and spend some time with your husband in the evenings. You might also need to catch up on things like paying bills or wrapping birthday presents for the kids’ parties. You don’t really watch TV, but you might spend some time on Facebook to stay in touch with friends. You’re in bed around 9, 10 at the latest, because you want to be well-rested and at your best for your patients and your family.
Being Gigi, you have friends and family around the world. Travel is your favorite way to relax and refresh your perspective, and you love planning family vacations to far-off destinations. You jokingly describe yourself as one who doesn’t let a lot of grass grow under your feet, and sometimes it’s a challenge to stay on top of everything you need to do. But you try to keep a sense of humor when something goes awry and just keep doing the best you can.

If you’re wearing Toki’s shoes, your schedule is dictated by the demands of running two restaurants. The original Highlands location is well-established and gets along without your daily presence, but you’re still getting the New Albany location up and running.
Opening a second restaurant has meant making some sacrifices. It’s been hard leaving your 2-and-a-half-year-old daughter in the care of a babysitter to go to work seven days a week at first, but now you have one day off. You even managed to take a week-long vacation last month to enjoy a family trip to Florida while your mother was visiting from Japan. Eventually, you hope to be able to loosen the reins on the restaurant even more and have more time with your daughter.
The restaurant doesn’t open until 11:30, so you can sleep as late as 8:30 or even 10. That makes up for always staying up into the wee hours enjoying some family time with your daughter and husband after he gets home from closing up the Highlands location. If your daughter wakes up before you have to go to work, you spend some time playing together until the babysitter arrives. If she’s still sleeping, you go ahead and start your day.
If you’re Toki, your day begins with tossing in a load of laundry and chanting your Buddhist prayers. You pray for peace and for the happiness and well-being of your employees, your customers, and your family and friends. Then you go to the gym to jog a few miles on the treadmill. Because most of your day is spent standing in the kitchen, you try to work out regularly, doing some exercises at home if you can’t make it to the gym.
By 11 a.m., you’re at work. You usually don’t eat breakfast, so you drink a glass of juice, a cup of coffee, or several glasses of water before
jumping right into prepping and cooking. You put on some of your favorite music and sing along as you chop vegetables. The music makes you happy, and you strive to put that positive energy into the food you serve and into the general feel of the restaurant.
As Toki, you finally get to eat after the lunch rush ends. You might have rice with some of the soup of the day or make yourself a sandwich. If you’re training new kitchen staff, you taste and eat whatever they’ve been learning to cook. The pre-dinner lull is also your time to do some office work or step out to run errands. The sitter brings your daughter to the restaurant by 5, and then you walk with her the few blocks to your sister-in-law’s house where she stays until you get her after work. If it’s a slow afternoon, you have the sitter bring your daughter in a little earlier for extra play time or a trip to the park.
In Toki’s shoes you work through dinner, making sushi until you see that the staff can manage the rest of the night without you. You and your daughter get home before your husband does and have your dinner, usually something you’ve brought from work. Then it’s time to play together or watch a movie and catch up with your husband. You don’t see each other much outside of work, so you keep business talk to a minimum. As much as you love being at the restaurant and feeding people — it doesn’t even feel like work — this time together with your family is what nourishes you most.

in addition to the numbers you see here, maggie is down a pant size. “i was a 10 but even a size 10 was pushing it. now i
am a size 8, and i made my weight-loss goal and am now working on my ‘wouldn’t it be nice goal’?” she says.
already a member of the Floyd County ymCa in new albany, maggie will continue her three-days-a-week routine incorporating the exercises that her trainer alli taught her. “i just love alli,” maggie says. “she helped me so much. she has also helped a friend of mine lose 70 pounds!”
For maggie, one of the great things about home Cuisine was the convenience of having portion-controlled meals that were already prepared. as a virtual employee, sometimes working from home is hard to prepare a meal just for yourself. so, maggie and a friend of hers, who is also a virtual employee, have created their own cooking co-op. each one alternates making four breakfasts and four lunches — sharing two of the four meals with the other. Fridays they are on their own, but maggie says this helps tremendously throughout the week. one of maggie’s favorite things to prepare is a salad in a jar.
in addition to working out at the gym, maggie and her husband are very active in a variety of outdoor activities, such as kayaking and hiking. last month, maggie for the first time, participated in the Floyd County ymCa’s tri-at-the-y super sprint triathlon.
maggie just had her cholesterol retested and now no longer needs to take medication to reduce her cholesterol.
Today’s Woman Weight loss Challenge is ending, but a new healthy lifestyle is not over for these three women. after losing a collective total of 58 pounds, each woman has new goals to reach. thanks to her knowledgeable trainers and to home Cuisine, each one of our participants has made significant changes to her health.

susan went from a size 14 to a size 8! yes, that’s right! “i
couldn’t believe i could fit into a size 8! i have really fallen in love with weight training, and i have learned how short bursts of cardio are so beneficial. through milestone i was also introduced to yoga, and i attend a class once a week for 1½ hours. i really love it! home Cuisine really helped me change how i look at food and has taught me how and what to eat. it also changed my food cravings. as a family, we eat out much less. We’ve also increased our intake of whole grains and vegetables. i feel great. i have so much more energy!” susan’s trainer maria at milestone is “such a great trainer and teacher. i thank her so much. she has taught me a lot.” susan hopes to continue with milestone and working out at home with her own fitness equipment. she and her children have already changed their eating habits for the better and will continue to do so.

like everyone else, lizzet also dropped several sizes. lizzet has shrunk from a size 14 to a size 10.
her trainer dave guided to her workout success. “i love how this Kettle bell program has totally changed my shape. i am also not as swollen looking or feeling. i am also stronger and have more energy.
“throughout the day, i used to grab cookies and convenience food. now i don’t do that anymore.” one of lizzet’s goals was to set a good example for her daughter, which she has done. at the age of four, her daughter mimics her all the time —including what she eats. home Cuisine meals helped lizzet understand portion control. they also inspired her to create new healthy dishes. every time i came home with my meals, my daughter would ask what i was eating. i would give her a bite of some of my meals to see if she would like it. i remember when she ran to my husband and said that she likes cauliflower.”
lizzet has signed up for dave’s two-day a week Kettle bell program for future training.

Not in the mood for a roll in the hay? Don’t be too quick to stick a pitchfork
in it. Biological, psychological, and rela-tional reasons together may be preventing a man or woman from wanting sex accord-ing to Dr. Stanley Althof, the executive di-rector for the Center for Marital and Sexual Health of South Florida. And these issues can have an impact on your partner as well as you.
“Sexual problems affect the partner,” Althof says. “It works both ways. We’ve studied men who have [erectile dysfunc-tion] where the women’s desire plummeted. And with women who have low desire, you can see problems starting in the men.”
What can you do to combat low arousal? For starters, Althof recommends talking to your family physician or gyne-cologist about your concerns. If the issues aren’t physically based, he says, women need to think about what precipitated the decreased desire as well as what is maintaining it. Once you understand the response, examine what things in the past have triggered your arousal.
“Try and go back and recapture some of them with your partner,” Althof says. “What worked in the past will probably work in the present.”
At times, a man’s inability to sustain an erection can also weigh on his partner. As the CEO of Absorption Pharmaceuticals, the
makers of the erection-sus-taining treatment Promescent, Jeff Abraham says the arousal gap between women and men may be a factor. Women on average take slightly less than 20 minutes to climax. Men normally finish in seven min-utes, he says, which can leave women unsatisfied and down
the road may affect the couples’ intimacy. While men have Promescent, Viagra,
and other options to combat ED, unfortu-nately Althof says the Federal Drug Ad-ministration has not approved any drugs for female sexual dysfunction. But he says he does see promising treatments coming up the FDA pipeline in the next few years.
Until then, talk with your doctor about which underlying factors could be caus-ing your lack of desire.
Keep alive

“Take deep breaths. Sit back very straight. Arms are very loose and
comfortable to your side. Feet are flat on the floor. Think about the ground and your feet on the ground and feeling the energy of the earth underneath you and how significant that is. Pull in that energy beneath you. Think about what’s above you and how the energy that you generate physically, emotionally, and spiritually, can vibrate off of you. We’re very power-ful beings, so being aware of your energy and how you’re operating in your space is very positive.”
— Lisa Morrison
Don’t think meditation is only for bald men in orange robes. Lisa Morrison, the director of media and public relations for His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s May visit to Louisville, says
people of every religion and faith can benefit from the stress-relieving qualities of the practice. Even workers who can’t seem to catch a break will be able to do the following visualization right from their computer chair. So sit back, relax, and find a little time for some office nirvana.

Decca Restaurant/Loungeif you enjoy dining outdoors, check out the beautiful outdoor
spaces that decca restaurant has to offer. located on east market street in the heart of nulu, decca has two very different outdoor seating opportunities. their outdoor courtyard is on the ground level — an enclosed, private landscape dotted with wooden outdoor furniture, greenery, meandering paths, waterscapes, and a fire pit to sit around sipping one of decca’s signature cocktails. on the second floor, outdoor balcony seating allows a bird’s eye view.
decca’s comfortable and inviting contemporary setting mixes old with new. the building itself dates back to the 1870s. original architectural elements such as pocket doors, and brick and limestone walls, are part of the charm. the wall art, recycled cork flooring, and furniture accessories add an organic feel to the entire space. While inside, check out their lounge in the cellar. at the base of the stairs you are greeted with one of the most well preserved jukeboxes i’ve ever seen. live jazz can be heard every monday night starting at 8 p.m.
the atmosphere does not outdo the food; it is fabulous and elegantly displayed. Chef annie pettry incorporates as many local ingredients as possible in her creative dishes, and virtually everything is created in house. homemade pasta, buttermilk ricotta, and her graham cracker cookies are just a few of the items that are made from scratch. the cocktails are also creative and fun. if you like bourbon, then you must try the Waysider, which is made with bourbon, fresh mint, lime juice and ginger beer.
Two great local spaces offer a compelling atmosphere in both indoor and outdoor areas.

The Anchorage Cafétake a step away from the city and treat yourself to breakfast or lunch in a lush, quaint
whistle-stop setting on a warm spring day. take a seat outdoors and unwind on their bistro-like patio and watch the trains and people go by. you’ll want to stay all day, and you are more than welcome to do so. the place is the anchorage Café, located smack dab in the middle of the small business and government district of the Village of anchorage. the café is a charming and welcoming place for quick bites, sweet treats, and the best espresso drinks around.
the building is new construction, inspired by original designs and elements of what was once the anchorage depot. Whether you are sitting indoors at the counter (where the doors open to the outdoors), or sitting at one of their outdoor bistro tables, you will settle in and feel right at home. the interior is just as inviting. Wood accents, exposed beams, and arched windows and doors create a warm and cozy setting. two floors are available in which to sit back and relax, or to conduct business away from the office in a delightful country space.
like many local food establishments, fresh and local ingredients are a staple at the anchorage Café. their turkey sandwich is just about as local as you can get. When they first developed this sandwich, they started looking for a local Kentucky farmer who raised turkeys. after a long and fruitless search, the anchorage Café commissioned Garey Farms (who supplies much of their produce) to raise turkeys for their sandwiches and specials. hence their heirloom turkey sandwich. other local ingredients that adorn this creation are Kenny’s Farmhouse swiss, their house-made tomato mayo and onion marmalade, and bibb lettuce, all held together with Klaus’s pretzel bread. a pickle is served on the side, and it, too, is made in-house.
Chef robbie Walter creates breakfast and lunch specials. i ordered the soup of the day — an asparagus and dill bisque with citrus slices. it was fresh, light, and tasted like spring! Check out their display case for all their house-made goodies. Quiches, scones, muffins, cakes, cookies, cupcakes, bars, and more! be sure to order one of their fabulous espresso drinks, like a raspberry Carmel macchiato. afterwards, you can take a stroll on the anchorage trail, located just minutes away from the restaurant.

latest running gear i’m Wearing: “My Nike Sphere running jacket. It is a water- and wind-resistant jacket. It’s so versatile I can wear it all through winter and spring. And with Louisville’s wide range of weather, it keeps me dry and warm and running outdoors no matter what elements I am facing.”go-to Beauty product: “Long hours of training over the years can take their toll. Sport sunscreen that is sweat-resistant should be every runner’s best friend.”latest purchase i’m praising: “I am a shoe junkie. I just purchased another pair of Mizuno Wave Rider 16 shoes. These shoes fit my feet and my mechanics. Every time I put them on, it’s like my feet smile, which is why I love doing what I do and helping others find the best shoe for their feet.”
Before i go... “I’ve got to have a double espresso energy gel. Nothing says ‘good morning’ better than a double shot of espresso before my runs.”
In just a little over three years since she began running, Cat Graham has completed her first Ironman Triathlon. She’ll admit she didn’t always love running, but once she graduated from college, she says she needed to fill a void in her life. “I’m very competitive,” she says. “I love challenging myself and setting goals.” Cat also loves to bike: “I got into biking after I got injured running as a way to strengthen and cross-train.” She says her dream day in the summer would be to bike the 50 miles it takes her to get to work. Now working at Fleet Feet Sports on Taylorsville Road, Cat loves her job even though she knows she’ll never be a millionaire. “I feel like I wake up and get to do my hobby all day long,” she says.“I want to make a difference and positively impact others’ lives and am lucky to have that opportunity here at Fleet Feet.” Cat’s next goal is to qualify for the Kona Ironman World Championship. “This is a goal that will require me to push the limits both physically and mentally,” she says. “I love running because I’m not competing against others; I’m competing against myself, my times, and my goals. Where I finish is irrelevant.”
