Flies and other flying insects trick!
I mostly work out in my garage and ran across this neat trick for flies, wasp and bees.... Fill a zip-lock bag half full of water. Add 4 or 5 pennies. Seal it shut. Hang it in an area you need coverage... Like magic, all the flying insects disappear! It Really Works!

Cardio and Weights the same day
Whoa is Me! What to believe when we are on "message boards".... I just read one on the HRM board that said this: You should never do cardio or weights one after the other on the same day. When you are doing cardio, your body BREAKS down glucose that's in the muscle - which turns into energy; which - in turn - makes you…

Bad hair cut and color
What do you do with a bad hair cut and color? I'm so embarrassed, I won't leave home without my baseball hat... I wanted a short "do" for exercising. It now looks like a rat chewed on it... and the color is so dark, I've washed it 6 times in 2 days. I'm in tears and I need help but don't know where to turn? Any suggestions?

Nutrisystems vs. Jenny Craig etc.
Anyone have any comments regarding these meal plans? As a single person, I have a hard time fixing food for one person. These seem ideal - but -- are they processed foods? Are they too expensive to do? Is the food tasteless? Am I wasting my time and money? Any comments - good and bad - would help me decide.....

Popcorn
Has any one figured out how to log Popcorn? I must be nuts because I cannot understand their label. They give you calories for unpopped -- these are much higher than popped............ who would eat unpopped corn???? So, what do I log? Orville Redenbacher's - movie theater butter - mini bag

Two Left Feet and No Arms
WoW I just finished the first Hip Hop Abs DVD. I have 2 left feet and for the life of me, I couldn't get my arms to do what they were suppose to do at the right times! I am NOT coordinated enough - I have never been a dancer because I have no rhythm.... I finally just started concentrating on the ab movement - that was a…

Why can't I shed a few pounds?
Ok, I've been doing the P90X for about 7 weeks. I watch what I eat and have been eating my exercise calories. Usually I burn anywhere from 300 to 400 calories per exercise and exercise at least 6 times a week for about an hour. Today I decided to up my exercise and burn at least 500 calories a day hoping that will help.…

Heart Rate Monitors
Who has some experience with Heart Rate Monitors (HRM)? I just started using one a month ago and had one that did not include the chest strap. It wasn't working right so I exchanged it for a better on that uses the chest strap. I am finding the one with the chest strap seems to be more accurate - but - it says I am burning…
