As a working mom I don’t feel one bit of guilt. Another business trip away from my daughter? Good, a vacation! Glued to the computer working on a script? Yeah, grown- up words! A television contract for a new show? Money, money, money! Working does not make me feel guilty.

Not everyone has time to or even enjoys hitting the gym. That&rsquo;s where everyday life comes in handy. You know that slightly out of breath feeling when you&rsquo;re scrubbing a tough stain on the floor or running to catch a plane? That feeling means you&rsquo;re exercising your body hard enough to enjoy real health benefits. Making small adjustments in regular daily activities can give your metabolism a boost, slim your waistline and help you live longer. <br /><p><a href="http://www.mommytrackd.com/practical-fitness-tips-working-moms">read more</a></p> http://www.mommytrackd.com/practical-fitness-tips-working-moms#comments Treat Yourself Fri, 29 Jun 2007 03:01:55 -0700 jquib 139 at http://www.mommytrackd.com http://www.mommytrackd.com/i-get-little-help-my-friends <!--paging_filter--><p><img height="295" alt="" width="200" align="right" src="http://www.mommytrackd.com/stuff/dp_friends.jpg" />Remember when we told you that chocolate is good for you?<p><a href="http://www.mommytrackd.com/i-get-little-help-my-friends">read more</a></p> http://www.mommytrackd.com/i-get-little-help-my-friends#comments Treat Yourself Fri, 29 Jun 2007 03:01:55 -0700 jquib 138 at http://www.mommytrackd.com http://www.mommytrackd.com/where-art-thou-tivo <!--paging_filter--><p><img height="219" alt="" hspace="5" width="250" align="right" border="1" src="http://www.mommytrackd.com/stuff/working%20mom%20comedy%20cartoon.jpg" />They say that necessity is the mother of all invention, but often the best&nbsp;innovations are inspired not by need but by greed and self-indulgence.

Fifty may be the new thirty, but try telling that to your skin, which started its steady slope downward when you were still playing spin the bottle. Hundreds of magazines splash photos of airbrushed models and movie stars at us, aimed at getting us to believe we can look just like them. We know it&rsquo;s all smoke and mirrors.
