One of the biggest mistakes people make when they workout - and a lot of exercise "experts" are guilty of this as well - is to use machines in their routine.  Exercise machines are inefficient and ineffective.  

Very few people realize how much power they wield a consumer.  Every dollar you spend is a vote for a product, and the policies that go with it.   You might think that what you spend hardly makes a difference, but every dollar counts. 

So I'm running around doing a long list of errands today when I see the front cover of the February 5, 2007 issue of People magazine on newsstands now with a picture of former supermodel Tyra Banks with the caption "You Call This Fat?" blasted across it. Say what?! This immediately captured my attention, so I opened up the magazine flipped through the article.

Despite the fact that Tyra Banks was once considered the epitome of "the look" that Hollywood and the entertainment industry has tried to convince women everywhere about what it means to be "perfect," now turnabout is fair play as even Banks herself is being judged by her own impossibly high standard. Impossible, you say? Well, it's true and she doesn't like it one bit.

For some reason, I can’t get enough photos of celebs grocery shopping.
