Confused about right-to-work...
Interesting times here in Michigan - the state House and Senate passed right-to-work legislation in the fastest, most organized manner yesterday - quicker than I've seen anything happen in my long life... :happy: The papers today are filled with vitriol about the death of democracy and the labor unions... so, as the nerd…

What a difference a year makes (pics)
The actual birthday is still a couple of days away (Wednesday), but we went out and celebrated Saturday night (Sunday's diary looks great - amazing what you don't eat with a hangover!). Just a reminder - here's where i started last year (this was taken November 14, 2011 by my then-5 year old) - and why I decided to make…

Thankful for NSVs this week...
This is the week of the oddest NSVs for me... since my husband has been looking at me like perhaps I need to get on some heavy-duty medication, I figured I'd share them with a group of people who might understand... 1.

Article copied from Detroit News, Online…

UGH - hate the scale and NSV in the same morning...
Kind of a mood-swing post this morning, but hopefully someone (and me, later today when i'm not feeling the need for stimulants) will find it funny... Friday morning - my weigh in... and I'm up one pound. First thought - OK, those are the chocolate chip cookies biting me (literally) in the behind. Guess "eat your exercise…

Before and After pics
First things first - I did go on a hospital-supervised very low calorie diet for 4 months - per the advice of my internist as well as success that some of my friends had found using it. I joined MFP just a couple of months ago to prepare for my return to, as my husband says, "real people food", and I'm loving this site and…

Help - input for working around injuries...
hi all... any input would be deeply appreciated... i'm doing the Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30, but i have 2 issues: 1 - my wrists are totally shot (broken & healed poorly when i was a kid, carpal tunnel now, etc.) - so i'm having issues doing the push-ups - has anyone else had success doing the push-ups against the wall?…
