I am a big Fantasy and Sci-Fi reader. Some favorites are Game of Thrones (of course), I did read the Hunger Games and thought they were pretty good, I also like Patricia Briggs Mercy Thompson series. Hell, I've read too many books I liked to even list them here. I used to read all the time, but now I have a 2 hour commute…

I am a total nerd. I used to spend all my free time playing video games... Then I became a mom... Then I became a single mom. My game time has taken a heavy hit, but I still love it! I am all about the RPG's Dragon Age, Skyrim, Elder Scrolls Online, Final Fantasy (from 1 to 14, I've played them all), and the list goes on.…

I totally feel you about eating food you don't like. As I am lazy and don't cook much I tend to keep it simple. Grilled chicken or fish with lots of spices. Baked salmon with orange yogurt and green onions (yumm!) is so easy to make. You just put salmon in some tin foil, add orange yogurt (or other flavors) and some…

It definitely took time, but after a while excercising actually became its own reward. Why? I treat it like a game. I primarily go on the treadmill, and I try do 3 miles during one hour long show (I watch HGTV). If I take it easy and then realize that I have only 10 minutes left and a whole mile? I bust my chops running…

Hi Mike! My name is Sarah, and I feel your pain. I have a sedentary job as well (reporting analyst), and I have a 2-5 hour commute depending on traffic. I can spend up to 15 hours on my butt each day! I am in the mid 200s at 5'3, and I only started dieting and excercising 3 weeks ago. I went from zero excercise to walking…

Hi there! I'm a single mom with two children, 3 and 5. They usually sleep through the night, but excercising is still difficult because we all share a room. I joined the local YMCA, and they have an "adventure zone" the kids can play in while I work out. Its a lifesaver! When I can't get to the gym I usually try doing a…
