Personally, I find that if I supplement with fish oil (so as to get lots of DHA) that it is much easier to be mentally and physically active. If I skip it, I find it really hard to peel myself off the computer or where ever else I've decided to park myself because it seems numbing and easy. <BR/><BR/>Granted, you still need enough will power to get yourself moving, but if you are having a little bit of a chemistry problem it can really help you keep moving! Someone I know has an email signature line that says "Energy creates energy, keep moving!" and I tend to think of that at times when I'm feeling sluggish and coming up with as many excuses as possible to not go the next thing I need to do. Along those lines, I also think of Newton's First Law as encouragement to keep going. I know, I'm such a dork. :-)Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12689104216675201913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13522238.post-1153029533122201812006-07-16T01:58:00.000-04:002006-07-16T01:58:00.000-04:00"to the max!

And the fact that I don't have many acquaintances who provide a whetstone to my dulling intellectual edge.

Puts her crayon down. "Need to go pee pee."<BR/><BR/>Runs to the little Dora potty we keep by the back door. Pulls down her panties and sits. Gets up. "No pee pee. I just passed gas."<BR/><BR/>Returns to her coloring book at the table.<BR/><BR/>"You're passing gas?" I ask.<BR/><BR/>She nods. "I think I need pass gas in the living room." Gets down promptly and scampers into the living room.<BR/><BR/>You live for moments like this.<BR/><BR/>:)John Farrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18280296574996987228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13522238.post-1152884839818679722006-07-14T09:47:00.000-04:002006-07-14T09:47:00.000-04:00I don't know what method of potty training you are...I don't know what method of potty training you are using, but my wife and I are about to implement the plan found in the book, "Toilet Training in Less Than a Day" by Azrin and Foxx. I've heard many success stories with it even in children as young as 18 months. <BR/><BR/>I'll let you know how it goes.Praying Twicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10467751185892310913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13522238.post-1152837017798689422006-07-13T20:30:00.000-04:002006-07-13T20:30:00.000-04:00I've found that smoking is the best way to keep th...I've found that smoking is the best way to keep the weight off. Of course, after 25 years you might still gain a few pounds, but you lose it again just as soon as you have your first lung removed.Rick Lugarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16957595491409017184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13522238.post-1152807047544195832006-07-13T12:10:00.000-04:002006-07-13T12:10:00.000-04:00My wife and I are (I figure) at least 10 years old...My wife and I are (I figure) at least 10 years older than both of you kids.<BR/><BR/>:)<BR/><BR/>That said, I ran too. But after a while I discovered that your metabolism adjusts to easily to running (at least mine did) and it ceased to have any beneficial effects on my weight.<BR/><BR/>I'm now an 'elliptical' freak. I try to get to the club across the street from my job three times a week, and I find this helps a lot.<BR/><BR/>(for what it's worth)<BR/><BR/>Our younger daughter, after several weeks, is now close to being fully potty trained (with occasional lapses).John Farrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18280296574996987228noreply@blogger.com
