Flexibility
So more recently I've been remembering that my flexibility is something I'd like to work on. I don't really know anything about it, but I've heard yoga is good for flexibility and I was curious if that is the case. I'm currently a homebody exerciser so does anyone know of any good dvds that improve flexibility? I'm doing…

Going to buy some shoes
I'm finally going to replace the Nikes I've had for...about 2.5 years. Yeah, I know I'm super overdue. I'm going to buy some new shoes today when I would normally do my workout but I have to pick where I'm going. Well, I may go to more than one place, all depending. I was planning on going to the mall where there is a…

Green tea
I'm sure alot of you have at least heard the idea of weight loss benefits from drinking green tea. I recently became interested in it but...I don't like tea. Well, regular tea I don't like, but I've heard people drinking the Liption green tea with citrus doesn't taste like regular tea. Looking at the nutritional info I'd…

Some fat could save your life
I was browising Cracked.com and thought I'd share part of an article I was reading. Admittedly it's a humor website (hence some of the comments in the article) and not about health, but it's still interesting. Too bad they don't have links or references to the research they site. 6 Slacker Behaviors That Science Says Are…

What I call the Dreaded...

Which Jillian Michael's dvd to start with?
I've been waiting to get a HRM to buy/try the Jillian Michaels dvds and I'm picking one up probably tonight. Then I thought: but which dvd should I start with? I know the No More Trouble Zones involves hand weights so I'm kinda avoiding that one since I only have 12lb hand weights (and don't want to buy smaller atm). I'm…

Water and Workouts
Pretty much all of my exercise is going running/walking for about 3 miles in 30-40 minutes. I never take water with me because I don't want to carry it, but lately the longer I'm running the more I wish I did. What I've been doing is making sure I drink at least a cup about 30 minutes before I go running. And now I know to…

Something that happened to me
So I've been eating and exercising properly for about two months now. 4 weeks ago my husband and I changed our workout of running from a casual 2 miles to trying to do an 8 minute mile, and we did this about 4-5 times that week. I kept eating like usual and noticed at my weigh in that I had gained a pound. It bugged me,…

Dang old skin blemish scars...
So I've finally been besting my fight with acne and skin blemishes and my face looks decent...except for the discolored skin from my old blemishes! It drives me crazy and I don't really wear make up so I don't cover them up with foundation. What do you guys do to get rid of the scars and keep an even skin tone?

Replenishing exercise calories
So since joining MFP I've been given the daily intake of 1200 calories per day. It was rough to cut down portions and find snacks and foods that allowed me to stay close to this goal, but now I've gotten very comfortable with it. The problem is, most of my exercise is running and over the past month the distance has…
