I need to get motivated again to start working out but after sitting for all those hours hunched over the computer, it really is tough.  What do you do??

Think Active - FL MLS

I take a break at the same time everyday and just do something that is active, walk, go to the gym, go swimming, biking, anything that gets me active for that hour. I have a MP3 player with my fav music and just move to any beat that suits me that hour. I also work six days a week 10 plus hours adn that hour of being actie sure does help. All I do is think of being active even if that means putting on my MP3 player and dancing with my vacuum cleaner I am active.

Great ideas! Thanks for the tips! nm - Needs some energy

I'd Like To Get A Job Working 1 Day A Week ......Mar 14, 2015
outside the home so I can get some people contact and not feel so isolated.  I live in a large city, but it's been difficult finding a job like this.  Because of some health problems, I can't do anything physically taxing like retail or Mcjobs. I'd like to work in a medical office doing some kind of clerical work.  However, these jobs are usually got by word of mouth, and I don't know have any personal contacts who could let me know about available openings.&n ...

Have To Ask To Work 4 Days A Week, Not 5Feb 02, 2013

Sketcher's Shape UpsFeb 04, 2010
I kept watching the TV commercial on Sketcher's Shape-Ups, and really, really was tempted.  But they cost $100+.  Started doing research, and found they're patterened after the MBT shoes, that cost over $200.  I couldn't justify spending $100 for shoes that I might wind up hating, plus since I work at home, I only wear slippers.  More research, and I discovered that Sears and Kmart (who are apparently affiliated) have knock-offs - Thera Shoes - for around $30. ...

Obama Will Leave His Party In Its Worst Shape Since TheAug 21, 2015
As historians begin to assess Obama’s record as president, there’s at least one legacy he’ll leave that will indeed be historic—but not in the way he would have hoped. Even as Democrats look favorably ahead to the presidential landscape of 2016, the strength in the Electoral College belies huge losses across much of the country. In fact, no president in modern times has presided over so disastrous a stretch for his party, at almost every level of politics. Legacies are often tough to ...

I Was Just Discharged From A Hospital Stay AboutSep 14, 2012
an hour ago.  Aside from feeling good to be home, I also feel protected because I have Medicare. If Romney were the president, I'd be out on the street with no insurance for instances like this because he hates Medicare. This is my 14th hospitalization since 2006 for the same problem, which is very painful and caused by a genetic disease I inherited. My disease is incurable.

We live in the same town. She is now divorced and I am her next of kin. I know absolutely nothing about her business, not where she banks, not where she has her medical insurance, would think probably with her job, but not sure, don't know her physician's name, passwords to her computer, absolutely not ...

Benghazi: Similar to five other government reports, the one released by the House Intelligence Committee on Friday left Republicans in the same position they have been in for two years: with little evidence to support their most damning critiques of how the Obama administration, and then-Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, responded to the attacks.

Boehner has made a large error and Republicans supporting him are being very destructive to our country's image in the world, not to mention further fracturing Congress.

How Do I Get My Peanut Butter Cookies To Stay FluffyFeb 01, 2015

Why do these cookies insist on flattening out some times but not other times?    Any suggestions?  My husband likes the nice poofy ones,  like you put the ...
