Hi. :) You sound so much like me! I've started so many times it's not funny....but I think I'm onto something this time. I've been at it for just over a month now, and I'm still going pretty strong. Here's an idea...while you can't go back and fix what already happened today, you can start over right now and change it…

Have you tried the white chocolate raspberry kind??? YUM!

Your sentence makes no sense... quid pro quo ˌkwid ˌprō ˈkwō/ noun a favor or advantage granted or expected in return for something.

Thanks for explaining! :) I never thought it was TOTALLY devoid (even if you're just naturally swinging your arms while walking, you're still using your muscles), so the initial statement just didn't make sense to me.

Perhaps I misunderstood the point of cardio then? I'm not sure, though, how doing an exercise that uses primarily the lower body, such as walking or running, would cause you to lose muscle in your upper body though. I thought cardio benefited the ENTIRE body, and strength training was more targeted (ie upper body, lower…

Probably. Otherwise you won't be giving your body enough fuel, and you'll end up doing more harm than good.

Cardio for your upper body? I have never heard of such a thing...isn't cardio for weight loss and increasing the strength of your heart and lungs, therefore increasing your body's efficiency in utilizing oxygen? Or am I just completely crazy (which is possible!)?

Yes, they're carbs, but from my understanding, they're not "simple" carbs (which is where it seems a lot of society's "carb issues" come in). I can understand not eating JUST vegetables, as you still need protein and fat, but I don't think she really grasps the concept of Calories In/Calories Out. You absolutely CAN lose…

I feel like I am fortunate in this. Yes, I have a desk job, 8 hours a day, but the company I work for has made it very possible and really quite easy for their employees to get exercise during the day, if they so choose. We have three different designated walking trails outside, ranging from 3/10th of a mile up to just…

^^^^^ This. Who am I to tell someone they have to cover up? I know that where I live, it's hot. It's humid. Our local meteorology team calls this weather "oppressive". I choose to wear less (think tank top and lightweight capris) because I overheat if I don't. I am in my mid-30s, and I am overweight. Exercising in this…
