I use myfitnesspal to track my food intake.  I knew I my eating habits were seriously not healthy, but I didn't get how much until I started writing it all down and finding out how many calories I was actually eating.  It has helped me realize that I was consuming far more than needed, and help me determine when my body really is hungry and when I am just bored or stressed.

That #25 sounds so much like me.  I plan my workouts a month in advance and get really ticked at Mother Nature when she doesn't cooperate or everyone else for that matter.  Don't they know I have a specific workout planned for that exact time?!

I followed a 30-Day Challenge from BodyRocktv in May.  While I did see improvement in my overall fitness and did lose a bit in measurements, it was a nice reminder of how hard you have to work to burn that fat.  It was also a nice reminder of important eating right is as well.   You can burn all the calories you want with great exercise programs, but if you keep eating crap it will take you a life time to reach your goals.

Wow, that was so incredibly powerful and completely had me rethinking how I post comments (and also how I will parent my son).  Plus, I really wish you were the playground teacher at my son's school.  I will definitely take that challenge up, starting today.  I read Momcomm (http://www.momcomm.com/) because Melissa writes in a simple, no nonsense way and understands that her audience consists of newbies to long time bloggers.

Love the missing "fleshed-out concluding paragraph".  I would also add, only write when you have something to say.  Sometimes you just don't know what you have locked inside your head until you put pen to paper (or finger to keyboard).  Of course, writing and publishing for the word to see are two different things.

LOL, not feeling so bad about my neighbors now.  At least they provided you with a blog post.
