Long Island Woman March 2008
from: liwomanonline.com
HereÕs what youÕll see in the March 2008 issue of Long Island Woman
Feature
This month, meet a real powerhouse Long Island woman Ð JOAN JETT. From the time she was a teenager, she knew she wanted to be a rock star É and all these years later, she is still putting out new music. But there is much more to JOAN JETT that you might not know. Find out what things as diverse as Broadway, philosophy and Howard DeanÕs infamous scream have to do with the tough girl in leather.
I think you can be tough and still be a nice person, be giving and connected; just being who you are is whatÕs important and not letting society do what it tends to do (especially in show business) Ð that Òsheep thingÓ where everyone is being led in the same direction. I try to do my own thing and be my own person.
Fitness
Are you working out and looking better than ever Ð but you still canÕt sit on the floor because youÕre not sure youÕll ever get back up? Read about functional fitness and how it is being incorporated into exercise repertoires to fantastic benefit.
Functional training prepares you for your daily life. "Take, for example, an alternate lunge with a medicine ball lift, that mimics the real-life move of serving a heavy turkey over the dining room table. Or a sprinterÕs squat, which is a narrow stance-lunge using a hand weight and reaching down to touch the floor. ThatÕs like picking up a heavy object from the floor."
Book Corner
Find out why itÕs ÒReigning Cats and DogsÓ on Long Island as our columnist Debbi Honorof sits down with Cynthia Baxter, Stony Brook resident and mystery writer. BaxterÕs series of books always features various animals and their ailments Ð the heroine is a veterinarian. Clever titles and combinations of real places on Long Island to create fictional towns Ð it all makes for good reading.
She easily spent several hundred dollars a week on fast food. Susan was the queen of excuses É When she finally left Long Island and moved to North Carolina to enroll in a weight-loss program, her life began to come together Ð emotionally, spiritually, and most important, physically.

Learn about sustainable agriculture and how you can get healthy while connecting with local farms. March is National Craft Month; discover a new talent or finish already-started projects. And meet this monthÕs Long Island Woman, Lori Beldiny.
Health
Get your womenÕs health update. This month, find out about: the link between female hormones and depression; how to manage e-mail stress; what doctors and patients donÕt know about herpes; why women are still judged for being assertive; what healthy items to put on your grocery list; myths about cervical cancer; and when your heartburn might be more.
More than 60 million Americans experience heartburn at least once a month, and some studies suggest that more than 15 million Americans experience it daily. For women, the first experience with heartburn is often during pregnancy. Acid is produced in the stomach every day. When the frequency or amount of acid in contact with the esophagus increases, symptoms and damage to the esophagus can occur.
Relationships
You canÕt wait to get them out of the house, and then when you finally do, you canÕt believe theyÕre gone and you have no idea what to do. Yes, your kids. Empty nest syndrome is a normal part of everyoneÕs life cycle. Find out how to prepare for it, handle it and capitalize on it to start a new chapter in your own life.
Make it a point to converse with family members and friends who experienced a similar situation É Transitioning into any new phase in life is always difficult, but remember that it is simultaneously exciting. Concede that life will be altered without children in the house and yes, perhaps a little lonelier at first. Begin exploring new ways to feel involved, productive and creative outside the home.
