How Do I Stay Focused Despite Adversity?
Okay, this isn't a pity party. My mother is terribly ill (she lives with my son and I). To be honest, not entirely sure she'll make it through the summer. But this is a good week - she's up and about, on her feet and functioning (yay!!) Now, having said that, I'll tell you that over the past few weeks, I really just didn't…

Of Trainer/DVD Loyalty
Here's a question: I have Jillian's 30 day shred, but I haven't opened it yet. I also have Bob Harper's Inside Out Cardio/Strength DVD. Also unopened. Here's why: I'm using Billy Blanks Fat Blasting Cardio, which I like very, very much. I feel like if I switch to Jillian or Bob, I will be abandoning Billy. Don't even…

Does Anyone Else Exercise Barefoot?
I exercise without shoes on. I started doing it because (and you'll just love this) I was too lazy to put my shoes and socks on; it just seemed like a lot of trouble to go through to go to the living room.

Struggling to Stay Engaged
I'm not accustomed to actually expecting anything of myself, so discipline is a real issue.

Anyway, I was tempted to simply skip entering what I ate - I didn't want anyone to know…

I Can't Stop MIDNIGHT SNACKING - HELP!!!!
I was SO excited yesterday. I've got new MFP friends, I (truthfully) entered all the food I ate (up until 11 pm of so) and I did a million minutes of exercise yesterday, and then sometime, late last night, when I wasn't paying attention, I scarfed half a bag of cheese flavored rice cakes. As it it isn't bad enough that I…

The Return of Skinny Girl!
My skinny girl has been hiding for a long time, under increasing layers of fat. It's her time now. I'm very excited about bringing her out again. I'm looking forward to enough energy to do all the things I don't do now - like play in the snow with my kid. I can't wait to stop shopping in the Plus Size department!
