  • Luckily my job is active as well but whenever I do find the need to sit in front of a computer I make a point of pulling my belly button in and out towards my spine essentially flexing my stomach muscles as though you're doing a sit up without laying down. Do it long enough and you'll actually 'feel the burn'
  • Hi folks, southern Ontario here...looking to lose a total of 40 lbs, 80 days in with MFP, and down 21 lbs so far....it's a slow process but the results are worth it! Good luck everyone!!
  • another SUPER SIMPLE treat I came across are peanut butter oatmeal bars. SO FLIPPIN YUMMY!!! Just mix 1 cup of natural peanut butter, with 1/2 cup honey and 3 cups of oatmeal (not the quick serve ones).

  • I personally haven't tried it but a friend of mine has and initially had the same issue as you (the impatience/boredom). She gave it up as a result but after being hounded by her hubby she tried a different place and fell completely in love with it. Perhaps its not the yoga itself that bored you, but the environment?
