That's exactly where I'm leaning-I just don't want to wind up getting sicker and having to sit out longer. That would in the end make me feel pretty stupid :tongue:

I've figured it out! If I take my feet a bit further out, I can indeed do a sit up! I guess my short torso and tall belly just need a little more room right now :wink: I appreciate all of the responses. I will say though, those of you that commented on how horrible sit-ups are, I wonder if you read the original post. I of…

Thanks, everyone! Like I said, I would never incorporate sit ups into a routine. I just want to be ABLE to do one. I'll give some of the stuff above a whirl :smile:

This couldn't hurt! Thanks!

She told me that strength training is imperative to long-term success. Though I've seen a slower decrease than I have in the…

They seem to pertain to those that do this on a regular basis. It's one day. I think it's best to just go to bed like I normally would and make sure I eat enough tomorrow.

Oh, and I generally do eat enough. I just didn't notice I picked low calorie meals and snacks today.

My doctor stated specifically that diet drinks are no-no, going so far as to say if I have to have some soda, to opt for one with real sugar (i.e. imported Coca Cola) because the artificial sweetener will cause an even higher insulin spike than the real thing. I don't like them anyhow, so I think the club soda idea is…
