Link Time! Shapelygirl, Cold Season, and Sleep Calculator

I think the fitness industry is often dominated by trainers that are super skinny and have never struggled with their weight. This can be frustrating for many women who feel they will never achieve that "perfect" body.

I recently received a tip about Debra Mazda's ShapelyGirl program. Debra is a normal curvy gal and her workouts cater to average women with an emphasis on being healthy, rather than being a super slim supermodel. It's refreshing to see a more realistic approach.

Cold season is in full force in the northern hemisphere, so if you're interested in the latest research and treatments, check out the Common Cold Centre, so you and your family can be ready to fight back.

Lastly this week, one of your best defenses against colds and other viruses is getting enough rest. I found this simple sleep calculator that calculates when you should go to bed based on 90 minute sleep cycles. They recommend you try never to wake in the middle of a sleep cycle, if you want to feel your best.
