A great thought
The pastor entered his donkey in a race and it won. The pastor was so pleased with the donkey that he entered it in the race again, and it won again. The local paper read: PASTOR'S *kitten* OUT FRONT.[] The Bishop was so upset with this kind of publicity that he ordered the pastor not to enter the donkey in another race.…

as weight goes down, do daily calories also decrease?

Calories gained by exercise
I only get 1200 calories a day but with exercise, I gain about 400 back. My main goal is weight loss so I was wondering if anyone had any feedback on whether it is smart to stay at the 1200 per day or go ahead and eat the extra amount of calories I've earned through exercise.

Am I doing something wrong?
I understand when you do the cardio that you have to get your heart rate up and keep it up. But I have found that what I do makes me feel good. I used to walk at 2.5 but now have bumped it up to 3.0 for 2 miles. After the first lap I stop and go and do 25 verticle thrusts. Then after 2 laps I will again do another 25…

Frustrated with breakfast!!!
I am a teacher, so my day starts earlier than most ( today I ate at 6:00). Lets take to day as an example, I had 2 egg whites scambled with a little salsa for flavor in a wrap.

Posture
I have noticed over the years that my posture is getting steadily worse and worse. I'm not sure how to correct this- I do take a class called Body Balance that combines yoga and pilates with tai chi, and I usually have good posture for about 4 hours after that. But I just don't know how to carry that over into daily life!…
