I don't understand why it's the government's job to feed our children at all.

Race to Robie Creek?

And we wonder why so many kids are obese today? Kids being obese/unhealthy has little to do with school lunches, vending machines, or toys in Happy Meals and is mostly due to PARENTS!! Good for you!! Pretty scary, though!

I listen to audio books on my iPod and I'm done before I know it! My only tip is to listen to lighter books that don't require a whole lot thinking. i tend to get distracted at times and if the book is light fiction I can usually figure out what happened during my inattention. I listened to a political/religious themed…

I would definitely be concerned of a heart rate that is constantly over 100 bpm. If you came to my pharmacy I would refer you to a doctor.

It is impossible to get the flu from the flu shot. The virus is inactivated and dead. The nasal spray one is live, so technically it could happen that you get the flu from that, but still very unlikely. Just wanted to make that clear!

I don't think it's too much. If you feel good, then do it!! The human body is amazing! I ran 60-70miles a week for over two years!! I just don't have the time anymore!!

I have Sony ones that have never fallen out. I run in them almost every day, even done a few half-marathons!

Oh and lots of antibiotics and MANY medications are made from living creatures. You never use those either, right?

You do know that plants are living too, right? And so are bacteria...ever use antibacterial soap?

A dog on a roof....I spent the next several miles of my run trying to figure out how it got up there!

I'm not a teacher, but I've been to a lot of school!! I would probably have him read for his 20 minutes then have him tell you about what he read...and there is your summary!

I just love how the author calls aspartic acid and phenylalanine "insidious" ....uummm they are just amino acids found in much larger amounts in pretty much any protein than in aspartame ( and phenylalanine is an essential amino acid that we need because our bodies can't make it) As for the methanol, it is NOT an…

My advice as a pharmacist....Synthroid should never make you gain weight. It's simply a synthetic thyroid hormone for people who naturally don't make enough. The thyroid hormones play a huge part in controlling your metabolism, and those people whose bodies don't make enough (hypothyroidism) on their own feel very tired…

And out comes the pharmacist in me! It could be the birth control. You switched to a birth control with higher doses of both estrogen and progesterone. Both can make you gain weight by increasing your appetite, but the progesterone (norgestimate in the Ortho Tri-Cyclen and levonorgestrel in the Alesse) can actually…

How exactly does she MAKE you go to lunch?

I agree...since when is it the job of public schools to teach nutrition?! If you want your child to know all those things, you better learn them yourself and teach him/her. The only people to blame for a child not knowing nutrition is the parents. Period.

I'm pretty sure that walking outside is harder. Hills definitely make it much more difficult and also the ground is not moving underneath you, as it would on a treadmill. It takes more force to take a step on solid ground than it does on a treadmill that is already moving. Not saying that treadmills are not as good as…

oh my heck! My week revolves around watching Lost on Wednesday nights (I don't have TV, so i have to wait to watch it online the next day :( ) And then after I watch it...I feel like the week is over...weird. Oh yes, and sometimes I don't want to watch it, because then it means I am one episode closer to the end...

It is my opinion (and personal experience) that Nike does not make the best of running shoes (I think it's because they make sssooo many things, it's hard to focus on just running) especially for people with wider feet. I used to be an avid runner (60-70miles a week) and found that Nike shoes gave me blisters and fell…

I agree that you should go to a running store and they will help you, but make sure it's a running specific store and not just a sporting goods store. My personal opinion is that Saucony makes the BEST running shoes! I used to run 60-70 miles a week and NEVER had a problem. Good Luck!!

FYI-- a pound of anything weighs as much as a pound of anything else. What "muscle weighs more than fat" means, is that muscle is more dense. If you looked at a pound of fat and a pound of muscle there would be much more fat to make up to pound than there would be muscle in the pound. Much like if you looked at a pound of…

I take them and haven't heard anything, but then again we don't have t.v., so I never see commercial. I just hear what is on Google news...But both of my parents are pharmacists, so I probably won't be worried until they tell me I should stop taking them. By the way, I have been taking them for over and just had a…

don't know if it's possible for you, but on vacation, I usually take a quick run outside in the morning before anyone gets up. I've even just run circles in the parking lot of the hotel. That's just what I've done in the past. Good luck!

That sounds just like me! I do so good during the day and don't even feel hungry, but I ALWAYS have to have something right before bed. You have kids so you probably can't do this, but we started eating dinner much later like at 8:30 or 9:00pm. So I'm still eating at night, but it's not extra stuff, just whatever I would…

I really like Tae Bo. It's the only exercise tape that actually gives me a workout. I don't know exactly how fat burning they are, but it couldn't hurt!
