    Iron Gym/Pull-Up bar

    Oh cool! Just finished posting a frowny about how I have to bypass the pull-ups because I have no place to hang bands, then I saw this. Just ordered the bar from Amazon. Too bad I can't hang it lower than the top of my door, though, since it's WAY over my head. Guess I'll have to stand on my...

    ohhhhhhhh......those pull ups

    I don't have anything to hang bands from in my house. I have to blow by these exercises. :(

    Michael Phelps

    He is a complete tool. I can't believe he'd be so stupid. The kid obviously has no common sense. I don't have a problem with a kid his age smoking a bong hit at a fraternity party, but he is living under a microscope and should have known better.

    Cremation

    I am a registered organ donor and have in my will that I am to be cremated and my ashes dumped in the Grand Canyon. That was a tongue-in-cheek thing I said to my lawyer, but he actually put it in my will. I just don't want to end up as a mantal piece.

    Jessica Simpson's Body

    Oh believe me...if I start gravitating towards a 4, I take care of it. I'm 41 now. If I were to go to a 4, I would start looking "pudgy". I'm only 5'0" and have very small bones. Extra weight shows up on me very quickly. But I'm also lucky that it takes me awhile of slacking off to gain...

    HOORAY for Obama!! Talking of capping salaries!

    This is another good point. Obama is talking about a tax cut for the middle class. I think it was something like $500 a year for individuals? Big whoop! Is that $10 a week supposed to make any sort of impact? I appreciate the sentiment, but if you're going to give me a tax break, give me a...

    HOORAY for Obama!! Talking of capping salaries!

    Actually, I believe the office remodel was done BEFORE the bail-out, but is a good example of the excesses that got them into the mess that is ruining us all. I wonder if, had the politicians known about this, they would have given money to that company. These rich boys (and girls) have...

    Question please

    Actually, I think any of them can be easy if you use the right equipment. If I haven't worked out in awhile, I start back down with my 5's, 8's and 10's. Doesn't take long to build back up. As far as cardio goes...well...that's different. Stay away from any IMAX or kicking stuff until...

    Jessica Simpson's Body

    She looks awesome. Her butt looks great in those jeans, and her philosophy is the same as mine. I am a size 2, but I'm just small naturally. I drink beer, I drink wine, I eat pizza, cheeseburgers, chicken wings. I enjoy my life and exercise, but not fanatically. It's not worth it to me all...

    Lost - Little Prince (spoiler alert)

    That was an AWESOME episode last night! I couldn't wait until they showed us that Jin was still alive and I love how they brought Rousseau back. I knew they were going to somehow, because I listen to the Podcast with the writer and exec producer, but this is WAY cool! Ben is...

    Just wondering...

    LOL - the frequency of my posts is in direct proportion to the lack of projects I have at work. I sit at a computer all day and if there's nothing going on....I'm here a lot.

    Totally cool afternoon

    He has to wear his glasses they gave him to bed. They're not goggles...more like the ones people wear after cataract surgery. I don't think that watching it done well would scare me from doing it, nor him saying how uncomfortable it was. The botched one I watched online would make me...

    Wii Fit & weight loss

    I liked "racing" my DD...but not enough to keep it. Game Stop gives an excellent Buy Back price on it.

    No Starbucks - day 3

    I just started drinking coffee this summer...and let me tell you...I now know how people stay awake in meetings. I always thought there was something wrong with me!

    No Starbucks - day 3

    I'm a diet cola addict too. I do like a good cup of coffee, and have one at home in the morning. We have a Green Mountain k-cup machine in our break room, so I can get freebies here. So many people go down to Seattle's Best or Tim Horton's in our building, and I don't get it. Why pay when...

    HOORAY for Obama!! Talking of capping salaries!

    No kidding! They're the ones who hosed the companies in the first place, so I don't think that would be a big loss.

    HOORAY for Obama!! Talking of capping salaries!

    Yeah, this was actually suggested by Senator Bernie Sanders with the original bail-out, but was rejected. Now I guess the lesson has been learned the hard way. What I like is that because of Obama's publicizied commitment to high ethics in his administration, the questionable ethics of...

    BMI in Workout Manager

    Thanks - I had it in my settings already, but hit SAVE again just now and it worked. Maybe it just needed to be tickled.

    BMI in Workout Manager

    I finally got around to playing with the Workout Manager yesterday. I was in a bit of a hurry because I had an appointment, so I didn't do a lot of searching...but shouldn't the current BMI calculate automatically for you based on your height and weight? I found a calculator online and was...

    No soreness with week 1 of Meso 1..

    If you've been exercising regularly, it's not uncommon to not have soreness. When I'm in shape, I almost never get sore.
