  • Also, re food: keep the chocolatey cereal bars in your desk, or the individual servings of dark chocolate. That way, when you crave the sweets, you can have it, but with added protein/fiber/antioxidants and less calories. When I "need" a bagel, I only eat half of one. We have a freezer/microwave at work and I keep a bag of…

  • Yoga. I never thought of it as exercise, but (out of boredom) started doing it about 4 days a week for 30 - 45 minutes. It changed my body... I was 5'4 and 135 in a size 6/8 jean and after about a month, I was in size 4. I didn't lose any weight or really change my diet. Even just 20 minutes a day (during lunch/kid is…

  • There are so many gyms that DON'T require a contract, I would suggest starting with a month-to-month membership to figure out if you're going to go or just make a donation. If you end up being a gym-rat, you can trade up to a more posh facility. If you live in a cold weather locale, a gym is a must.

  • This was my first time watching and I think I might be hooked-- the former professional wrestler? She is inspiring and I am really pulling for her. Plus, Dolvett is pretty easy on the eyes!

  • I take fish oil and calcium with vitamin D. Most women don't get enough of either. Also, if you're over thirty, you should consider taking a folic acid supplement. If you find you lack energy, try adding a B complex. Absorption of supplements is also an issue, as most of what you take won't be used by your body. Liquid…
