Well done on all of the above. I find that when coffee and snacks are concerned, I tend to take five times as long as everyone else just to drink the coffee becuase mine is black and my friends all put cold milk in theirs.

Re: Alas, the WL
I think there is something about the hum of the monitor and the whirr of the fan that makes me think, "The engine's running, must drive, MUST DRIVE." When it's shut off, it's just another piece of furniture for the cat to lay on. I know this feeling. I've lost track of the number of times I've swit...

I haven't seen the show (I don't watch television), but I wholeheartedly agree with your new outlook. I decided to follow something similar a few years ago, leading me to learn martial arts, appear in theatre productions, sing on stage and eat more healthily. I've also just booked my first guitar le...

Motivational Quotes!
I just found this one on the BBC discussion forums (paraphrasing/contextualising):
Think when tempted break the rules:
"Nothing tastes as good as being fit feels."
Any more, anyone?

I'm not Reinhard either (most of us here aren't. All of us, in fact, except him), but here's my unwarranted input. To me, that question is irrelevant. If you're trying to build a habit, counting the days won't make a blind bit of difference. Say you 'fail' six times after five days each, then succee...

I never used to be hungry at lunchtime when I was a non-breakfast eater. Since I forced myself to start eating in the mornings again, I've always been starving about half an hour before lunch. If you give your body fuel in the morning, it will set the calorie consumption rate higher for the day, mea...

Oops...
Perhaps that was a poorly chosen subject heading. It was intended to be light hearted. Allow me to state that I maintain, save in my darkest hours (haven't had many of those lately), that it's never too late to do anything. Except, perhaps, cooking pasta al dente after boiling it for an hour. That p...

Well done on the aforementioned. As far as success number three goes, think of it as having done a lot of exercise in a sauna. Perhaps. I'm going on holiday next week, to the Edinburgh Festival.

There's some evidence (don't ask me to quote or, indeed, find it) to say that your diet during pregnancy can affect the child's eating habits through life. Therefore, by sticking to No-S (providing, of course, that you ensure you're eating the right foods), you could well be establishing healthy hab...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/5219884.stm The article above is vaguely worrying.

Stopping prior to impact is, indeed, harder on the muscles, as it works a wider range. If you hit something, the muscles opposing the forward motion have to do less work because the momentum transfer from the impact doesx it for them. I should probably mention at this point that I don't shovelglove ...
