"The Burn"
I've just started jogging again and have started on a very light run/walk regimen to get back in the game. I will run for 3min, walk for 2min and do that for half an hour. My problem is not with my breathing or heart rate it's with the incredible burning in my calves! I don't remember it being quite this bad when i was…

What do you do when your spouse is not supportive?
In the main, my husband is a pretty good guy. The problem I always seem to face when I try to lose weight and adopt a healthier lifestyle is the snide comments from him and the general 'I don't know why you're bothering' attitude.

"Water" or "Liquids"?
I'm confused. Is it 8 glasses of WATER per day or is it 8 glasses of LIQUIDS per day? I mean, if I drink two cups of black coffee, one cup of peppermint tea, two glasses of milk and three glasses of water, am I done or do I have to drink another 5 glasses of water...
