Workout oath
I realize, like most female creatures (and some males), that I am an emotional person and use food to cope. So instead of beating myself up for eating cheese cake and drinking a long island, I have vowed to work out every day. Here is my workout oath: Whether I am happy or sad, glad or mad... Whether I have eaten like an…

AM Workout tips?
I am looking to start doing cardio in the morning before work. Any tips? Should I eat before or after? What should I eat? I generally have either a protein shake or eggs and meat scramble.

Living out of a hotel room - need advice.
In Febuary, I will be in NYC (how exciting!) for training for my new job. However, I will be living out of a hotel room - not a residence inn where I can cook for myself. I will also be travelling across country (from California to NY). I do plan to bring my workout clothes and work out when I can. I am very, very nervous…

Should you eat even if you are not hungry?
I never thought I would have this problem but I am not hungry in the evening sometimes. Should I eat anyway to meet the minimum calories for the day? Today I made myself eat something for dinner but I definetly wasn't hungry. I had 555 calories left to eat for the day.

Emotional Eating
I went overboard yesterday when I found out somethings that happened at my old job that just ticked me off to no end. I went straight for the Taco Bell. Any ideas or suggestions? Maybe I should have just turned around and gone back to the gym!

Cardio and weight training, how do mix it?
I plan to start incorporating weight training with my exercise program next week. I have heard various ways to combine cardio and weights but I am not sure which is the safest workout.

How did you "get into" healthy foods?
My 2 cents: Many people complain that they cannot "get into" healthy foods. I was one of those folks. How I got into healthy foods was this. I pick out what fruits and vegetables I like and starting eating those (balanced of course). There is surely something that you (general you) like that is healthy. Do you like…
