cascogirl Yes, if you are active all yourlife than it is just a part of your day, and motivation isnt needed as badly. I grew up in a fairly active household as well, and we were encouraged to try new activities as children. I guess that has helped keep me open minded...

cascogirl Your nephews wedding sounded very nice! Was the ship docked in port or was it actually out in the water somewhere? And the potluck idea is very savvy! All the family favourites meals would be there, no one could complain they didnt like the food!

cascogirl lol Ive never thought of it that way! When I think of money and fitness I look at it as an investment in myself. Just like eating healthy, and spending a little more on better foods. Im hopingthat what it may cost now will pay off in the future with better...

cascogirl Congrats on your excercise program and maintaining it! I find too that when I work out I eat better because I think that I dont want to undo all the hard work I have done with bad food! Other times though I will eat a little cheat snack as a reward for...
