Please allow me to introduce myself
I am a 31 married mother of a 10 week old little boy. My husband and I have decided to go mostly vegan after the last year of trying to do a vegetarian/ethically raised meat diet. We've decided that we cannot ignore the health and moral risks of the animal husbandry world any longer. We are lucky to live in the country…

Pants that fit!
Where do you all shop for pants? I'm blessed in that I carry most of my height in my legs but down side is that dress pants, jeans, etc. usually end up looking like clamdiggers unless I can find "Tall" jeans and those are hard to track down in an in-person store. Usually if I'm looking for something in my length it ends up…

Vibram 5-fingers
Anyone use these? Any advice on how to work them into my routine? The guy at the running store said to only do one or two days a week with them on because they use different muscles than running in "normal" shoes. I've always been prone to shin splints and fractures so I'm hoping these help me go for longer distances.

Beverage Challenge!
Ok, I drink a lot of my calories by way of alcohol in the evenings after work. I have already cut out soda of all types and want to work on my wine/booze drinking now.

Cleaning as an Exercise
HECK YES I claim cleaning as cardio. Do you have any idea what kind of mess one husband + a Jack Russell Terrier + a Border Collie can make? If I'm "Cleaning" it means going up and down stairs about 30 times, carrying bags of trash, vacuuming, washing dishes, making a King bed (those fitted sheets are a PAIN) and a host of…
