Cardio and Strength same time
The place I started working out at doesn't open until 6 am. If I were to go in and do my hour+ workout I would be late for work by the time I shower. Would I have the same caloric burn if I went and did cardio in the morning and strength in the evening (or vise versa)? Thanks in advance for your answers.

I work in a medium size "corporate" office. In the summer months there seems to be an epidemic of people walking around the office without shoes. Not only around the office, but also to the bathroom and back. I can't stand it !! I hate feet. I have gone to my supservisor but she is one of the offending people. What would…

Morning Exercise
I need help. I want so badly to get up in the morning and workout. Working out after work takes precious time away from my kids. Every day around this time I say to myself "Tomorrow is the day! I am going to get my butt up and work out." Well 5:30 comes around the next day I can't (okay won't) get out of bed. That last…

To all the moms out there- Great read
A friend of mine posted this on FB. It is a great read for some of us that forget how amazing we are. Fat, Skinny, Tall, Short, Black,White, Purple...etc- we are all moms.

From another post- Who has family dinners at the table?
Who eats with the family for dinner? Gosh I forgot how out of practice this is. We eat breakfast (on weekends) lunch (on weekends) and dinner (every night) with the kids. Mind you they are young 5 and 7, but every night. Who else does this?

Turbo Fire for "BIG" people
I was looking at the Turbo Fire and it looks AWESOME ! I have seen the transfomations but they are all smaller people who then are even smaller. Are there any heavier (over 210) people who have done that and have had big time results?

Why does being fat= lazy?
I hate when people say because you are fat you are lazy. I work over 45 hours a week. Take care of 2 boys and my husband, clean the house, do laundry , dishes. I am up at 6 and go to bed around 10:30. I don't even get 8 hours of sleep. It is such an assumption. I just make bad food choices- sometimes just for convience.

Grammar police..I DO LOVE YOU !
I know people get all feisty when there are others that go around and correct grammar. In my eyes I feel they are doing these people a favor. I would rather an anonymous person tell me I have spelled something wrong or used the phrase incorrectly over another person telling me face to face. Please carry on correcting…
