When do you post your exercise before or after?
When do you record your exercise, before you do it or after? I find that am more likely to exercise if I record it before working out. If I wait, I am more likely to do less or pass on my workout all together. How about you? What works for you?

If you are interested in some cool dietary information, try some of these websites. Dr. Wahls is really amazing.…

I just realized that I am also friends with everyone and a few others and that I don't come here and post. I end up posting and discussing on my iPod in the friends area. Do you all want more stuff here or is this group not necessary? Thoughts? Ideas?

Private board
