Looking for exercise ideas
At the moment I am taking a "P.E." class at my college and it incorporates weight machines and lap swimming Monday - Thursday since it is a short summer semester.

Super Target...
So for the next week i'm going to be "working" in a location that has a small fridge and no microwave so I have no clue what to do for lunches.

Which Scale should I go by?
Ok so I've been wondering if my scale might be dying as I get "Err" quite often from it. In the last 2 weeks I've been to 2 different Dr's appts where their scale was reading less (by 5 lbs today) than my scale. So after the appt I went to see about buying a new scale but all of the ones in store read the same as mine at…
