"PF and I are both pretty introverted - neither of us is shy but we (especially me) definitely need a fair amount of recovery time. #1 son is a lot like us and gets cranky when he doesn't have his downtime. #2 son, on the other hand,…"

I really wish I could use it. Ugh. Stupid early adopter spouse. Why couldn't we get the smart phones everybody else has and there are apps for? :P #firstworldproblem"

kommishoner replied to Joe Mama's discussion 'The dirtiest word I know...'"Brisk walking + diet will probably get you where you want to be. And I second mnm - don't beat yourself up for not exercising if you've chosen exercise you hate. Either find something you like or something that is quick (like…"
hermit crab replied to Joe Mama's discussion 'The dirtiest word I know...'"For toning, I've been very happy with the Muller system (reviewed here on Slate with the awesome title "Kafka's Calisthenics.") Full source here and digest here. You'll feel pretty silly doing some of the exercises but…"
mcglory13 replied to Joe Mama's discussion 'The dirtiest word I know...'"Do you have an iPhone? There's an app for the iPhone called Zombies, Run! Or something like that.

DonnaKat replied to Joe Mama's discussion 'The dirtiest word I know...'"I've been doing Weight Watchers, and according to their measurements, a 20 minute jog/walk combination and 20 minutes of brisk walking (3 mph or faster) are about the same. I hope that is helpful!"

Exercise. UGH. I gained a bunch of weight this winter which doesn't really phase me but I can't afford a new set of clothes, and, more importantly, I am huffing and puffing just walking up the hill to the house.Here's the problem - I LOVE food and HATE exercise. I thought I would try the couch-to-5k program that has been successful for a number of my lovely imaginary friends. Since I'm not really worried about the number on the scale I don't care if I really lose pounds as long as I get…See More
Joe Mama replied to Zealflyer's discussion 'Helping DS find his own interests'"We also have a no tv/video game policy from Sunday bedtime to Friday afternoon. It started when #1 son started school (before that it was no more than 1 hour tape/dvd on a given day). It is a drag on some days, but has really been helpful to have…"
Joe Mama replied to Kat's discussion 'Throwing in the towel on 4th grade'"I HATED 4th grade with #1 son - it felt like I spent the whole year pushing. Fifth grade was worse - it was about April when I sent an email to his teachers that four hours of homework was unhealthy and I was not going to let him do more than three…"
Joe Mama replied to mcglory13's discussion 'For all the many folks with more than one child...'"I also have to say that I didn't know if I would like parenting and there is a lot of parenting that bores the bejeezus out of me. I am amazed at how good my kids are doing under this careful plan of benign neglect."
Joe Mama replied to mcglory13's discussion 'For all the many folks with more than one child...'"PF and I are probably closer to siblings then we are to anyone other than each other so it was hard to imagine raising a singleton. PF wanted to have 6 or more...but that only lasted until the first week after #1 was born, then 2 sounded…"
