Small changes over time lead to big results. I would invest in a pedometer. I"m using one. It keeps track of your steps. I keep a log, and I work on adding a few everyday. You end up looking for ways to walk more like I park the car at the far end of the parking lot so you can get a few more steps in. I also found that…

Go with both. While I'm pretty much using the same muscle groups, my body feel's like it's getting a different workout from each machine. And once you get the hang of each, it's pretty simple to either dial one up or the other down so that you get equal intensity from both.

For breakfast I suggest you tell your boyfriend you'd like to eat "family style" which means you ask your server for an extra plate, order jointly, then when the plate of hotcakes comes out, you simply…

I didn’t set a drinking limit. I treat beer like any other food. …but knowing how easily the numbers can slip by when you’re downing a few “cold ones” with the guys I made the following rules: First, no drinking alone.
