Bob Harpers In and Out system
Just incase anyone is looking for a new workout DVD I would recommend these! They are fantastic! I've done the kettlebell and the cardio one and enjoyed both of them.

Anyone taking the GRE?
I know this is unrelated to weightloss but if any students have to take the GRE over the summer there is a discount up on thier website 50% if you take it in August. It seems to be filling up fast but it saves you $80 so I'm all over that!

I'm taking a Learning and Motivation psychology class and on the chapter on biological dispositions in learning it talks about activity anorexia in rats which occurs when rats are restricted to food for only an hour and a half a day and have access to a running wheel for 22.5 hours. These rats eventually run so much that…
