mayblaiz I think it's been made clear from the responses you received already that you need to have a goal. Why do you want to start exercising? You said to tone up. Sounds like your dreading it and from your response, I'm getting the impression that you don't like...

mayblaiz Yes, I agree. Be aware of how much artificial sweeteners you are consuming on a regular basis and adjust. I did an article for bodybuilding.com not too long ago on the very same argument that you stated... you can access the article through my website.

I tried out Bikram Yoga a few weeks ago. It was cheaper to get the "starter" package, which was 3 classes for one week. Not bad. I didn't know what to expect, so I kept an open mind. When I got there, everything was hot hot...

mayblaiz I think that success is self determined. You make your own standards of success ... Many of us gauge our success based on how much money we make but we all know that money isn't everything. We also gauge our ability to achieve success based on how much money...

mayblaiz A quote that I can remember but don't remember who the quote was from says that "Goals are dreams with deadlines".... If all we do is dream, how do we take the next steps in making those dreams come true?

mayblaiz I set goals on a monthly basis but review them daily. What I do first is ask myself (1) What individual roles do I play in life? (2) What do I want to accomplish in these roles for the next month? (3) What action tasks will I take to achieve this? A few...
