If you think no one is watching you at the gym, you’ve never talked to many men about it. I know a couple who even use their camera phones at the gym. They act like they are texting but are really snapping photos of the chicks. So, yeah, people watch. But people watch you everywhere. It shouldn’t stop you from living and doing what you want to do. They call those people hermits.

JessieP,

I too love magazines but can’t bring myself to subscribe to so many (although I’d honestly love to, and per month it wouldn’t be too expensive). I like to get a coffee at Borders or Barnes & Noble and read one there instead

I’m reading in AWE at how many magazine subscriptions some of you get! I treat myself to one a year (my fitness subscrip was for 2 years so this one is longer) and then i get a new one when that is up, i would LOVE to get 10 magazines a month, but can’ t stomach the thought of spending $150 per year on MAGAZINES! maybe when i’m out of the starving college student phase of my life i will let loose a little and subscribe to a few more!

Now I want ice cream. And I’m not really an ice cream person (give me a pastry any day). But carrot cake is my favorite so……

Husband,
I guess this question was already answered, but I can tell you that as a PhD in chemistry, a fully hydrogenated fat IS a saturated fat. They just pass the fats under an excess of hydrogen and catalyst in order to fully react all of the double bonds to make them saturated. Trans fats stack wonderfully on top of each other, whereas cis double bonds and saturated alkanes do not. The stacking ability of the fats make them more stable and less suseptible to breaking down either on a shelf somewhere or in your body. Hope that helps!

husband–

fully hydrogenated to me completely equates to saturated, and actually it kind of sounds like this is their fancy way of getting around calling it a sat fat. if you look at the structure of a long chain saturated fatty acid, all the carbons have got hydrogens attached. because of the outer valence electron shells, the only configuration they can take is linear. hydrogens like to have lots of space around them, so though the molecule would LIKE to bend, alas it cannot.

April (regarding working out) -
I totally understand what you mean…I spent years being totally terrified of the gym because I thought everyone would be looking at me and I would feel stupid because I was a newbie. Well, I finally got over that fear and started doing cardio in the gym (elliptical) but was scared of weights / machines / classes because I thought people would be staring at me. Well, I’ve finally overcome that fear and now do machines, classes, and free weights – and I’ve realized that no one is looking at me and no one cares what I’m doing. I can’t believe I spent all those years being worried about that. It all changed one day when I was at the gym and I walked up to a machine (my first time doing machines without my gym buddy) and then I got scared and paniced and started to walk away. Then I stopped and looked around (the gym was packed) and I stood there for a minute, just looking around, and I realized that not a SINGLE person in the entire gym was looking at me. So that was my big turning point. I’m so glad I overcame my fear. Please try it – you won’t be sorry

Hayley ,
I used to LOVE Jelly Belly – esp. the toasted marshmallow and cheesecake and champagne punch! I’ll have to look for it. I think they have them at Fresh market.
