Attention All Desk Jockeys

Being that I sit behind a desk almost all day I found this article quite interesting:

It's not your imagination: Sitting at a desk all day really can make your ass as wide as your swivel chair. In a recent survey by careerbuilder.com, 49 percent of office workers said they had gained weight at their current jobs, and 28 percent of those had piled on more than 10 pounds. Try these easy adjustments, so you can work 9 to 5 without gaining 10 to 20.

I love these women.

They are no nonsense, straight to the point, honest, realistic and wickedly hysterical.

Trinny Woodall and Susannah Constantine teamed up in 1994 to write Ready to Wear, a down-to-earth weekly style guide for The Daily Telegraph. Their phenomenally successful column ran for seven years.

In 2001 they joined the BBC to present What Not to Wear, a makeover programme that entered the national consciousness like no other. The show moved from BBC TWO to BBC ONE running for 5 series and was also broadcast around the world.

Their no-nonsense style books What Not to Wear, What You Wear Can Change Your Life, What Your Clothes Say About You and their latest, The Survival Guide have been number one bestsellers in Britain and the United States and have been translated throughout the world.

A New Form of Chemical Birth Control?

Like eveything else, we are messing up not only the planet, but also out bodies:

New research published in the journal Human Reproduction reveals that women with the highest levels of Perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs) in their blood are 150% more likely to have difficulty conceiving a child.

PFCs are commonly used in non-stick cookware, and eating off non-stick cookware inevitably results in the consumption of these chemicals.

Rev it UP!

Thats it! This week I go for the intervals:

If the recent bout of frigid weather has chased you indoors, you may find yourself working out in unfamiliar territory. Getting your cardio workout in the gym -- as opposed to outside -- takes a bit more savvy than knowing when to pull on the long johns.

Before you look around to see what everyone else is doing, keep in mind that there are plenty of newbies in the gym at this time of year, most of whom aren't the best role models.
