		<description>I haven&#039;t tried Pilates...maybe I&#039;ll check one out from the library.  Doing a DVD is a good idea though...thanks for the help!

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Oh, and Jennifer, I made my cocoa last night to drink while watching Lost. Here&#039;s my recipe, which may not be very sweet, but you can always add sugar to taste:

1 large mug of milk, heated in microwave
1 heaping tsp of best-quality cocoa (I like the super dark Valhrona I get at Whole Foods)
1/2 tsp sugar
pinch of salt -- important as it really deepens the chocolate flavor
dash of vanilla

I whisk it all together and usually throw it back in the microwave to heat up a bit more. The only fat is the fat in your milk. This is where the cocoa quality comes in -- the better your chocolate, the less you miss the milkfat, especially if you use skim milk)! Last night I threw in a couple of big ole marshmallows and didn&#039;t add any other sugar. But I tend to like chocolate that is pretty dark and not too sweet, so your mileage may vary....&lt;/strong&gt;

		<description>Jean -- I think the key is to have a form of &quot;backdoor&quot; exercise that you can pull out when things don&#039;t go as planned, especially during times of bad weather. I have a Pilates DVD that is so good that even 10 or 15 minutes with it is meaningful -- I mean I can actually feel the good it does my back and it&#039;s actually pretty calming, too! I need to dig out my resistance bands (those stretchy cord thingies that can act like weights).... for times when I&#039;m on the phone or (ahem) on the computer!

Too bad you don&#039;t live near me, since our goals are very similar. Actually I&#039;m going walking soon starting at 5:45am with a couple of neighbors. We all have littles, so it&#039;s the only time we can get out the door and exercise. On days when they don&#039;t go, I&#039;ll be already dressed so I can scoot to the gym. :-)

		<description>OMG! I would love to know how you make hot chocolate from scratch. Yes, I do use those little packets.

You know... I think I need to write down on a piece of paper... Goal- To write down my goals. Actually this New Years I typed out my goals on my blog, and I started a new blog to help me keep track. We will see if it works! This month I have broken my resolution of keeping track of grocery spending, but that is because of moving. Moving is very stressful so it is hard for me to keep track of anything right now.

		<description>I&#039;ve really been committed to walking with the kids in the stroller, but my rule is only if it&#039;s over 50 degrees, which has proved a problem this week.  My alternative is to walk when my husband gets home on my own, but that&#039;s proved difficult by him having to work late the past couple of weeks.  I&#039;m pretty discouraged.  Your blog is encouraging me though and I&#039;m contemplating trading off some babysitting for some exercise time with someone.  Too bad I don&#039;t live close to you, Melissa!  I just heard a woman on TV say that she&#039;s committed to thinking positively about herself and I thought that was a great thought.  So, maybe that&#039;s my goal for this week. :)

		<description>This has worked for me with weekly meal planning, so doing it for exercise sounds like a good idea too.  Thanks!
