I just got a mailing today. Someone saying that the DST (dailight savings time) added more hours to the day. I had to read that sentence twice. I mean, how can anyone seriously say something like that?

Your place of work expects you in at a set time in the morning (usually, unless you work shifts).

Your break times are fixed by the clock.

You leave work to go home at the same time in the afternoon.

You get home, you have supper, watch TV. As usual.

I’ve seen a lot of women at a lot of gyms, doing the exact same workout routine they were given when they took their memberships. Not just the same machines/ stations, but the same weights/ loads.

And when you listen to them, you hear comments like

"I don’t see any difference" or

"I don’t think I’m getting stronger" or

"those chicken-wing arms are still flapping" and

"My stomach isn’t getting any smaller, even though I do 2-300 sit-ups every day!" 

If someone was to  tell them to use heavier weights, the answer is almost always the same.

Well, if you look in all and any store, that’s what it seems to be! They are all wrapped in red foil, red plastic, red boxes. They have heart shapes or heart designs on the wrappers. All say something about St. Valentine. Does anyone even care who he was? Not many. Some radio stations mention the anecdote, but who really cares?

The commerces care. Not about St Valentine, but about the card-chocolate-roses-diamond sales they make for this one day of the year when people are told to remember that they love someone.

I have a surprise for you today

Fitness, yes, but check this out …

A neat, 33-page hard-cover book on how to care for 10 house plants and not kill them, unless you try really hard!

It’s easy to read, easy to understand, and the graphics are fun and adds to the easy understanding of what to do and when to do it.

There were a few glitches in my blogroll links listing, I will restore the missing ones asap!

Does it make sense to spend money on larger rides, deeper channels, because people get fatter?

Isn’t that just telling them that it’s ok to get huge because someone will accomodate seats and other things for you?

As far as Disney theme parks go - how much healthy food alternative do the visitors even have? Still, if they did have a healthy alternative, would they chose that over a burger, fries and ice cream? Why should they? The rides are getting bigger!

Just a little scare to add to this:

I will not allow any spam or obnoxious comments, nor publicities for pharmaceuticals to get posted on this blog.

To those who try (and some keep trying), use your energy elsewhere.

 Thank you.

SORRY !!

What’s my crime? Listening to an audio interview. The experts talking were saying how great this new video was, and I sat there thinking “what the heck!?”

The video in question is one which takes people on a tour of a super market to teach them how to shop sensibly, choosing healthy foods, reading labels, etc.

OK, maybe it’s because I grew up in Europe where people mostly cook from scratch (at least they did while I grew up, there’s more ready-made stuff now, depending on the countries), but the idea of having to educate people on how to shop by using videos?? I was utterly surprised and shocked. (Seems there are also actual store tours! I’m flabbergasted, honestly. Has the world come to this? We don’t know what food is anymore?)
