Jillian Ripped in 30

The first week I saw great results because I combined it with her "Rev Up your Metabolism" 7-day program. The second week I started cheating, had 3 alcoholic drinks, and a few desserts....so no changes that week. I have 3 more…

Can I workout with plantar fasciitis?
Ugh!! I was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis 4 weeks ago and I stopped my C25K program. I have been walking, yoga, and exercise videos. Am I doing too much? Do I need to stop exercise all together? It can be so painful to walk on. I have been getting injections from my doctor that mask the pain but I can't do that for much…

Are these walls caving in?
Lately I have been very stressed which of course effects my eating habits and exercise program. It just feels like everything is going wrong all around me and I will never be happy.

Couch to 5K??
Who has tried this? I am looking at doing a race Memorial Day Weekend. I open a show and have a wedding that weekend so I think it would be great motivation to kick my butt before then. I am worried about my herniated disk. The doctor said it isn't too bad and that I can keep being active, just cautious. Has anyone ever…

Fit into my "skinny pants"
We all have those pair (or pairs) of pants that hide in the back of our closet, waiting for us to get thin enough to fit in them. Well, a few years ago I was in Thailand and a tailor offered to make me some clothes. He messed up on the measurements and the pants were too small. I was embarrassed and said, "don't worry I am…
