I am struggling with my eating and need to be more accountable about what I eat. Anyone have a favorite app for keeping a food diary? There are so many out there, not sure which one to choose. Thanks! Diane

Jamie Eason has a "LiveFit" workout on bodybuilding.com. It is a 12 week workout that is very similar to STS. She starts out light with 12-15 reps and ends heavy with 8 reps, four sets. You can print out a daily workout sheet to keep track of what you did (weight, reps). With each day, you...

We have a 13 year old and 9 year old boys and 8 yo girl. The only thing that has ever worked for us is the "naughty chair", call it what ever you want, "reflection chair" is a more positive name if you like. I took awhile but the kids finally got the idea and we do not have a problem in our...

I have an 11 year old son, mild asthma, mild allergies and have been contemplating taking him to see a chiropractor. Just wondering if anyone sees a chiropractor regularly for yourself or your child. Are you happy with the results? TIA Diane

The personality traits you want your children to have as adults are not necessarly the ones you want them to have as children! This idea came from a Dr. Sears book that I have and there were many days I would say this over and over in my head to remind myself being "strong-willed" is a good...

Heidi I did not read everyones advice but here in Michigan there was a case where a girl (9th grade) sent a nude photo of herself. It eventually got around to many students. The school found out about it and involved the police. The biggest concern for the police was that this is considered...

Hi Ellie My children attend catholic school, and I currently have a second grader. He has homework every day but only 10 -20 mins each day. His teacher informed the parents that all "homework" comes home with a "H" on it so, for us, if he has alot of papers without a "H" that means he is not...

No "bad" words ...in our house! It amazes me as to how our (society) definition of "bad words" has changed since I was a child! We do not use those words either. Our big summer time rule - You can not go to a friends house without asking first and if you leave that house you need to tell...

Good Morning Everyone! Great Job on Imax 2. Today was my 4ds bi's and tri's and man am I having a hard time typing this post! I missed my cardio yesterday so I'll try and catch up this weekend. This weekend is busy with the usual weekend stuff plus throw in a Christmas party or two! I'm...

Hello Everyone, I discovered this rotation last week and decided to start on Sunday (Sat. is my rest (?) day, lots of early morning hockey, driving not playing). Thanks FF for putting this together! I justed finished Cathe's Dec 06 rotation (Gym Style/with BM2, LIS etc.) and was not sure...

Hi Heather, I could have written this about 3 weeks ago. I ordered New Rules of Lifting for Women from Amazon and received the same coupons. I couldn't believe it! The sad part for me was that they really did look good and I thought "It's not a meal just a sandwich, how bad can it be"! I...

Jerry, Glad you reconsidered! I love reading your posts. Glad to have you back and I'll be keeping you in my prayers. Diane

School was cancelled for my kids and I felt like it was me! Standing in front of the TV waiting for their school to pop up and jumping and cheering as quiet as I could. Watching my three kids eat pizza (yes, they wanted pizza for breakfast) and playing Monopoly in their p.j.'s while watching...

Ditto!! You look great and you should be very proud of yourself! Congrats! But you really consider updating your avatar photo - show off alittle, your boys will understand. Best of luck for Round 2! Diane

I had a basketball coach, who also coached varsity football and had three boys of his own (he knows how guys work) and he told me "get them while they are young, you can train them how you want them!" Diane

I'm no shrink, but the reason you may be taking it off in your sleep is because you are embarrassed to wear it. Can you try sleeping separately for awhile to see if things change? I know that may not be the easiest thing to do but if the snoring continues it will probably end up that way...

Hi Allison, I really don't have any advice but I can share my brother's story. He went to the sleep center and told him he stopped breathing 90 times in one hour. His doctor called him immediately. He started wearing the mask and improved quickly. He did have to go back to the sleep...

If you go on Oprah.com she has a few recipes that you can print for yourself, the brownies are one of the recipes. I personally think the concept is great. My kids eat fruits and some veggies but not a ton. Last night for dinner we had chicken breast using broccoli and egg to moisten the...
