Yes I have always had "desk jobs" and a lot of sitting, which is very unhealthy . ... sitting at work, in the car, at home. I have made it a point to keep moving. I get up to talk to people instead of emailing. I try to remember to stand during phone calls instead of sitting. I even try to stand during meetings (sometimes…

If a book doesn't draw me in by a few chapters, I move on. Good authors catch your attention--their job is make you want to turn the page for more. There are many books that I just couldn't finish-- my goodreads page has a shelf I created and labeled "started, never finished" just for those instances. This helps me to keep…

I have found Goodreads to be extremely useful. I log all the books I have read or want to read and give some opinions. When I can't remember what a book was about or if I read it, it is great to be able to get all the info I need. Also helps when others are asking for book recommendations. Love it.

Just finished Fall of Giants by Ken Follett which was very good if you like historical fiction --takes place during WWI so it helps to brush up on WWI history before you read it. Fascinating time in history. I learned a great deal which is a huge bonus when reading fiction. Now I am reading Hemingway's, The Old Man and the…

Just started reading Fall of Giants by Ken Follett... so far it's captivating... it's like you are walking along in life with the characters-- feeling what they're feeling, experiencing what they are experiencing. Love that.

My rule for MANY years has been NO eating after 7pm. Simple as that. It's pretty much habit for you--a pattern that you developed and need to break. When you get that feeling, grab a nice tall glass of ice water with lemon. Can you change your workout to a little later in the evening instead of right after work? Or, like…

oh man C1131, I can only imagine how difficult it must be for you! I have a friend that has a similar digestive problem and usually just brings her own food to events. Obviously she can't do that with real formal events, but she definitely does it for family gatherings--she just flat out tells the host that she is bringing…

I had the wrist style (flex) but returned it for the Fitbit "one" that clips on instead. It seems to be more accurate and it's very easy to use. I really like it-- Keeps me motivated to keep moving. Just have to be careful to not lose it!

Good points Ruthless! I agree we are all adults and I never mention anything about calories or health in regards to what people bring. And, I always compliment the entrees -- how they look, how talented they are to be able to make it, or how EXCELLENT it tastes (even if I hated it). Especially since I am no gourmet cook!…

Currently reading Parallax View by Allan Leverone. Just finished "Orphan Train" by Christina Baker Kline which I found very good--but I like historical fiction. Very interesting.

Hello, I am Dia, new as well. Just purchased a fitbit and just registered with MFP. With winter coming, I needed some motivation to keep me moving and watching my diet. Things I am doing to get a handle on this over-50 weight creep (weight likes to re-distribute itself in the wrong places I am noticing)--mall walking after…
